Nintendo Gaming / Re: NX Rumors and Speculation Thread (#TeamButtons Wins Again!)

« on: April 21, 2016, 04:58:40 PM »

One quality Nintendo title a month would be a really good average. I think the number they've developed in house has gone down over the last year due to the restructuring - and they've outsourced a lot of titles to other developers like 'Star Fox' with Platinum and 'Twilight Princess HD' with Tantalus. Hopefully they continue with those sorts of tactics to ensure a more consistent release schedule and form more partnerships with third parties.

TalkBack / RE:Revolution to be shown at E3?

« on: May 14, 2005, 03:45:15 PM »

The phrase "low power consumption" got me very excited. It implies that the processor won't need very much power, that there probably won't be a fan of any sort - the console also sounds a little too small to house a fan -  i don't really know what it implies! It just stirs up a lot of excitement and speculation in me. I have never been this excited about E3, I actually can't think about anything else.

Roll on Monday with your PS3
Roll on Tuesday. Nintendo goodness for me!

General Gaming / RE: Banjo-Kazooie is back & now on XBox 360

Diddy Kong Racing is one of the finest racing games ever. Perfect Dark and Goldeneye are 2 of the finest shoot-em-ups ever. Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie and Donkey Kong 64 are among the best platformers ever made, and Blast Corps and Killer Instinct are brilliant games. And that's just a few of their N64 games. They released many classics on the Super Nintendo, and they've released countless amounts of great games for the Gameboy line.

There is no way they're overrated.

General Gaming / RE: 360 Does What Xbox ... Waitaminute!

This is probably why Nintendo are chasing Sony rather than Microsoft, the difference in spec between the 360 and Revolution will be pretty huge,  especially considering it's a Nintendo machine, in which everything runs in total harmony.  I'll probably buy a 360, but if it doesn't impress me with it's software, then i'll definately consider selling it when the Rev and PS3 launches come round.

You're right. They are at an all time low on the productivity front, they've only released 5 games in 3 years. I'm pretty sure Microsofts plan for Rare was to develop for the Xbox 360 anyway, surely if they'd actually wanted 5 games a year from them, they would've dropped them or given them a major kick up the ass by now. Rare still has "it" in the handheld department at least, and now that they're used to the Xbox hardware, we'll be able to see just how good they are now.

General Gaming / RE: "Conker: Live and Uncut" loses the "Uncut" part...

Ha! Oh well. I'm sure it'll still be a good game. I just hope they make a game starring Bumper and Timber. Best videogame characters ever.

I'd just like to point out that the Stampers still own 51% of Rare, so Rare is very much their own company. How do you know all of this "inside information" then ruby_onix? Have you ever worked at Rare? Have you ever spoken to an employee of Rare? Or are you just spouting hearsay because "Rare betrayed us, and now they've gone crap!!!"

Which they haven't by the way. Their GBA games are brilliant and the only reason they've taken so long with their X Box games is because they've had to get used to the huge influx of new staff and they've had to learn how to program for a whole new machine. Rare basically doubled in size when Microsoft bought (some of) it, they had to build a whole new development building. I have yet to play Grabbed By The Ghoulies and I don't really like the look of it, but I'm definately going to buy an X Box for Conker, and hopefully Kameo, if not i'll just wait for the 360, i'm sure they'll have plenty more top quality games avaliable for that.
