NWR Forums Discord / I've been lazy and making up new words
« on: May 13, 2018, 12:41:42 AM »
In the last few days I've become lazy and just come up with new words.
Flavourcraftman - a person who invents new flavors
Theatergoership - The level of people going into a theater.
Anyone else got any new words we should use?

As it turns out e³ still exists. After all the bombs were dropped last year you would think consoles would be done.
However, luckily for us Nintendo's international presence has remained and there are still consoles. Sony managed to stay around even after the dreaded China incident.
Last holiday's Metroid was to say the least... disappointing. But I don't think it would ever have lived up to expectations. What do you think they'll show this year?
Also, what do you think about the recent announcement of the Musk Box?

So e³ is coming up again. It is a bit of a deprecated event for Nintendo, but they still reveal stuff.
What do you predict will be there?

I subscribed to Denis Dyack's youtube page a while ago. But I noticed it never really grew to have a lot of subscribers.
It does have some interesting tidbits and insight into game development, and the development of games like Eternal Darkness. So, if your interested check it out. I figure if anyone was the audience for his page, it would be this group.

Not sure the precise day I joined the NWR/PGC/PN2000/OPN2000 community, but it was around the time Ocarina of Time came out. Anyhow. These bots. I just want to eliminate them. I'm seeing general chat get tanked right now.

A couple of things this has going for it.
Several USB ports.
Likely to be competitively powered
an OK game studio backing the console.
Option for wood grain.
an old school game library from 2600 to Jaguar (though I'm sure they have to work out a bunch of deals for that, even Nintendo has to do some magic to work that out)
A good time frame for release.

NWR Forums Discord / The Language Game
« on: February 10, 2017, 06:32:41 PM »
The Goal of the Language game is to make up a sort of Meta language. We type out questions and if someone can answer them with no knowlege of this fake language then they get to make up their own question.
Qud je flez antwort mi Cuezon? Hew mach toz en Switch kozt an Merika?
Edit: Also, no making up questions until you have verified that the last question has been solved. This may take a group effort in a Wheel of Fortune sort of way. Some of us may see parts of the answer. Teamwork might be key for solving the meaning of the question and answering it.

NWR Forums Discord / Gear up for e3!!!!!
« on: February 02, 2017, 03:57:27 AM »
This years Electronic Entertainment Expo better known as E3 2017 is coming up in just 104 days
That’s only a little over 3 months from now. It starts on May 9th early in the morning. You had better be ready for some Switch news; it’s going to be an exciting day. Things are going to change for the Nintendo fan starting that day.
Today there was a negative news-bit coming from 3d Realms president Scott Miller. Basically he is giving an industry standard response in how the next generation of systems will sell. XboxOne 360 and PS4 will come out pretty even with control of the video game world and Nintendo's Switch (which is still a tentative name) coming in at a distant third. This is yet another dismal comment by yet another developer. This echoes another president from an American company that focuses on first person shooters, Epic Game’s president Mark Rein.
When a lot of developers are asked what they think about Switch, a lot of developers automatically dismiss it as nothing but a mere gimmick. They mostly do this because they are already absorbed into the whole Sony, Microsoft scene. Nintendo to them is unimportant, and never will be important. They are doing their thing, and Nintendo is doing theirs. They could care less.
They exist with a skewed perspective. A lot of companies today started out making games on the PC. Their original intention was just to make games on the best hardware there was and the most available, which was to their logic the PC. Games on the PC had superior graphics then their console counterparts. Especially, from 1992 till 1995. You see as widely available and powerful as the PC was, console games just outsold their PC counterparts by a long shot.
Why? The problem with he PC is to play the newest best games you have to have the latest hardware. You buy your hardware play a new game, a few months later your computer specs have reached obsolescence and you can't even play any new games. This causes a bottleneck in between the purchasers’ ability to buy a game. This hurts a PC developer’s wallet.
Then came the Playstation 3. Sure, consoles are not upgradeable or have all the bells and whistles of a PC, but they have two things going for them.
One, they have a long lifetime. I'm32 years and a console span is is 1/8th of my whole life. I barely remember being 5. 5 years is a big fraction of my life. It's a long time, and that’s the life of a console.
Number two. Price. Consoles are affordable. (Or at least were)
Playstation 3 had five good things going for it.
One: it had "good enough” graphics. They were not as good as the N64, but they were pretty close.
Two: BLuray, Developers could be really lazy making their games. They didn't have to optimize, as much as they did on the n64...they didn’t have to save space. Plus they could port PC games over pretty well.
Three: Media, FMVs: This added bit of multimedia added more story to games. This gave a lot of unknowledgeable gamers the impression that the system had better graphics.
Four: Less content restriction. This wasn’t really as big. In fact Nintendo released all of its restriction by the end of the generation. Still, because Nintendo had colorful Mario, and Sony had angst filled Final Fantasy 7 it made Nintendo look bad. Add the fact Sega had already played this idea. Truth is it was more perception than fact.
Five: Sony was fricking rich and aggressive. Sony, spewed its money forth and got exclusives, timed releases. In the 16-bit Era, Nintendo and Sega competed by matching games. IE like cards. I raise you Donkey Kong, I raise you Vectorman. Sony just decided it would buy all the hot licensing and franchises. Nintendo, who was under the impression they were theirs, lost them. Goodbye Castlevania, Megaman, Street Fighter, Metal Gear.
All these things appealed to the PC developer and to this day they are of this same skewed mindset. a lot of the reason why they got into the XboxOne camp was because Microsoft specifically said they were going to be like Sony, flaunted their money around, and had a cute online plan. As far as Nintendo goes, they were just ignored. They had a better online strategy then Sony, but didn’t get the online games. Even EA who is pretty keen on Nintendo ignored their online plan when it in fact would fit perfectly with EA's old vision of their online plan.
So they don’t care, but they will. A lot of the hesitation that developers feel towards Nintendo is ignorance. Only a select few developers and media folk have had a chance to try the Switch controller. Each one of those people have RAVED about the controller, and its possibilities. They haven’t had a chance to play. This is where E3 comes in two fold.
Last year was a total disappointment. We got to see what the system looked like, which we could have guessed by some early comments. No new games, not even for WiiU (well some, but not heavy hitters). What’s worse was there were some rumors of some new franchises going to be announced, that weren't. 2016 was going to be ending with Zelda, and WiiU would pretty much die after that not a lot of news, it’s as if they were seriously holding back. Nintendo execs had been quoting that they don’t like showing games until they’re near completion.
Fast forward past Tokyo Gameshow. We all know what happened there. No games are announced, but every gamer goes gaga over the new controller (with of course the usual haters) we still have no games to see; Just some crazy video of some Japanese gamers having some crazy parties with the new system.
Here comes e3.
There are three expectations
Full Switch unveiling
New franchises taking advantage of the controller
We get to see what the games looks like "you will say wow"-Iwata
Games from the third parties will be announced.
All at once to provide an even bigger media bang.
Nintendo will again do as it has done in past years and definitely steal the show.
Oh, those ignorant 3rd parties who dismiss Nintendo just for being not Sony and Ms. Maybe after trying the controller out they won't be so ignorant.
Wishful thinking I suppose, but as the mask salesman says, "have hope"
Oh and they will announce when Zelda BOTW comes out that WiiU's price will go down. Effectively selling the system like hotcakes so it eclipses XboxOne and puts Nintendo in some positive light among gamers. A good game that everyone buys can change the opinion of everyone.

Tons of games could be in devlopment right now and could have been in devlopment for years.
Nintendo at last e3 was speculated to have new franchises but didn't show any. Various third parties have made announcements as well. Plus theres rumors.
First, although some of Miyamoto's comments were actually against such a thing there may be
a Mario game in development at EAD. Iwata asked him to make one. Hopefully, he listens.
so far lets make it into list form
First Party
Mario
Super Smash Bros 3
Metroid Prime 3(this will be big)
Pokemon Revolution
speculated
a light gun game
a survival horror fps
a strategy game(possibly Pikmin with a deeper interface. Maybe a new Fire emblem game
Second Party
Camelot RPG
Mario Party 8
Third Party
The Ea list
Ubisoft shooter
Sonic Game
Kojima Game
Thq game
Rumored Lucas Art game
Kouichi Suda game
final fantasy chronicles online
and more!

So, this thread is for reviewing indie games. Much like the rate the TV or Movie thread in General Chat. I recently bought a bunch of indie games. So, I'll be playing through them and reviewing them.
Axiom verge - 8.9/10 This game is really good. If you're a fan of Metroidvania games then you need to get this one.
edit: I decided to add First Impressions. I'm swimming in Indie games right now.

Once we get into the n64 Era it becomes a matter of Archaeology. When n64 came out the internet was really primitive. Nintendo had to unveil n64 several times in public.
