TalkBack / Re: Pikmin 3 Direct Hitting Japan June 26
« on: June 25, 2013, 09:24:45 PM »On a side note: Why are all the Japanese Directs at a normal time? They get 8 pm, we get 7 am. WTF?!
Because this is a ND for Japan, and will be in Japanese. Danny just put in those other times so you know what time it will be in your local region. The Japanese ND's are aimed at the Japanese audiences, hence why they air at a time that is good for them.
I understand that. I'm saying that whenever they do an America ND it starts at 7am. It's not fair that when there's a Japanese ND the time is much, much better for them.

As per usual, Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Direct less than 24 hours before it happens, and about two weeks after E3.

$105,000 for a Wii U port?! Rediculous much? That's almost 4 times what the Kickstarter is at now.

Disappointed with all the negative review, the content doesn't seem to justify the price. I canceled my pre-order today, I may pick it up when it's $20.

Nintendo Gaming / Thoughts of a Pissed Off Nintendo Fanboy
« on: June 11, 2013, 07:45:37 PM »
Let's get something straight. I may be a pissed of Nintendo fanboy, but I'm not pissed at Sony or Microsoft. In fact, I'm very impressed by both companies, especially Sony. I'm pissed off at Nintendo. The year when they needed to bring their A game, when both the Xbox One and PS4 were getting unveiled, they dropped the ball completely. Sure, there were some highlights in the presentation, such as Smash Bros. the eShop reel, and Donkey Kong, but it does nothing to stand up to the PS4 and Xbox One.
The first thing the company showed off was Pokemon X/Y, one of the only exclusive 3DS games that was shown at the Nintendo Direct. As expected, the game look good, but didn't do anything to elevate the Wii U or really help Nintendo today. The new "fairy" type looks desperate, and kinda childish, and the new playtime with Pokemon mode looks a lot like Nintendogs, Pokemon style. Hopefully this won't take up a large portion of the game, and I don't really care for it. I will be buying the game, but we didn't need it taking up time at an already short conference.
Next up was Super Mario 3D World. Honestly, I didn't think I'd be so little excited about a new Mario game. I love Mario, but 3D land was just okay for me, nowhere near the caliber of Galaxy, or any other 3D Mario games. I'll probably buy the game as well, but I was looking for more. One thing I really enjoyed was the music, though. The jazzy tunes were really nice and I hope that the full soundtrack is this good.
Mario Kart also looked just okay to me. I just picked up Mario 3D Kart, and to me the game seems too soon. I don't know how driving at a 90 degree angle will work out, and I don't know if it will even change up the gameplay that much. I'm hoping for much deeper communities in this version, but I'm also not very excited for this one either.
The two games I cared least about were Wii Fit U and Wii U Party. Honestly, being a pretty hardcore gamer, I couldn't care less.
Nintendo then showed off its 3rd party reel. I wish that the Wii U was getting some sort of exclusives, at least in regards to DLC, as most 3rd parties have either left the Wii U entirely or not caring about the Wii U with their versions. Come on Nintendo, you have billions in the bank! You can afford to bribe some third parties! Wave some fees, fund some game (like The Wonderful 101 or Bayonetta), and get your **** together. Third parties are looking at the Wii U as a joke, and it's YOUR job, as the console manufacturer, to fix this. Microsoft and Sony both get it (Microsoft less so in terms of online), but you need to pick this up.
The highlight for the conference for me was the indie reel. All these exclusives, or console exclusives, are really impressing me. It's great to see that Nintendo is going after these indies, but Sony is doing more. Compete directly with them on the indie front! This is one place where you can compete well! Give these indies money! That's the biggest thing they need! Publish these games, and for heaven sakes, allot some more time to it during your press conference. It was a large part of Sony's press conference, but it should've been a bigger part of Nintendo's!
Wind Waker looked okay. Just, meh. Honestly, the game didn't look as good as I was hoping for graphically. It doesn't look like a large improvement over the Gamecube version. And that's not just my impressions being blown away ten years ago, I played through the game within the last year. The HD port doesn't look like a huge improvement, and I'm still not sold.
Another highlight from the trailer was Donkey Kong. I loved Donkey Kong Country Returns. I enjoyed the challenge, level design, and background/foreground features. The game looked great and I cannot wait to play it. Not the massive surprise I was looking for, but Donkey Kong isn't bad by any means.
Nintendo didn't give us much Bayonetta, but for what they did show us, it looked solid. I'll probably enjoy it, but we don't know much about the game currently. I also enjoyed Iwata's subtle sexual reference/joke.
Monolith's X looked amazing. I'm not necessarily talking about the gameplay, as we haven't seen much, I'm talking about the game's graphics. Honestly, I feel like X is the only game shown so far that can compete with the PS4/One graphically. I'm intrigued.
The best part of the conference, in my opinion, is the Smash Bros. trailer, of course. Villager was very strange, but looks fun to play with. Mega Man was the real highlight. Multiple abilities and awesome moves were featured, and I cannot wait to try Mega Man out. I'll probably be picking up the Wii U version, but may pass on the 3DS one.
Overall, Nintendo's conference was mediocre, average. They couldn't stand up at all to Sony and Microsoft at all, which is what they needed to do most at this E3. Nintendo needed to prove that the Wii U is a must-own console, and they failed to do so this year. Notably missing from the Nintendo Direct was Zelda and Sonic. I would've liked to see more, and most of the games shown didn't impress me. I love Nintendo, but they're not doing it for me right now. They need to get their **** together, show me stuff I want, and make some new IPs. It wouldn't hurt to buy a cloud service either, as like the Xbox One, the Wii U needs to be able to get more powerful as time goes on.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Who's excited for Animal Crossing: New Leaf
« on: June 08, 2013, 10:38:54 AM »Quick question to all my fellow AC fanatics. I'm debating if I should watch the Animal Crossing movie before the game comes out to really take my excitement up a notch lol, but, is the movie any good/ worth watching? Would watching it ruin my nostalgia for AC or will it compliment it? I say this because in the game, the characters have their strange yet pleasant animal speak but in the anime they will have an actual voice. Depending on how they come across, it might ruin how I've always looked at these characters. So what say you, is the movie a go for me?
I don't know, man. Do what you will, but I watched the first 10 minutes of the movie and nearly fell asleep. So, there's that.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Official Sales Thread
« on: June 06, 2013, 10:11:45 AM »PSP Vs Vita (in terms of cycle timespan) 4.5million vs 6million. Vita's selling 20% slower than PSP.
3ds Vs DS 31 million vs 33 million. 3ds is selling 7% behind the ds now.
Last few months has been pretty dreadful numbers for hardware. Not sure what Sony's planning but the vita's pretty much dead in the states--which is a shame since it's a nice little system with free games (PS+).
I went to a Gamestop recently and asked how Wii U was selling. They said it sold enough to keep the system in low stock. Then, I asked how Vita was selling; they laughed.
