I figure Retro will never do anything original while under Nintendo. Them some day Nintendo will sell the studio off and they will either release a new IP that's a huge hit and is on every platform BUT Nintendo's or they'll go off the deep end like Rare and SK and become a joke. There will be no middle ground.

Retro is 100% first party, meaning they'll never be sold off. That's like saying Nintendo will sell one of the EAD teams someday. People who work at Retro might leave, which many have, but the studio is never leaving Nintendo.

It's gonna be Sheriff 3, Nintendo's answer to Halo.

I'd love a Wild West 3rd person shooter with some Nintendo spin. Send him through time for what ever reason like time splitters, ride dinosaurs and dragons, defeat ancient sword and arrow militaries with his pistol, then defeat futuristic alien laser beams with the same old time pistol. Run and gun all over the place like Samus and Mega Man. I want it.

That's the problem with Nintendo saying they're working on a whole bunch of stuff, now when they show off all their crazy awesome projects at E3 people will just go "Yeah, so what else is new?"

It's also pretty impossible for Nintendo, or any videogame company, to really be reactionary in their development cycle. So, uh, the Wii U ain't selling as well as they would like. Well what can they really do about that? The games that are due for 2013 were already planned well ahead of time. They can't just hammer out a decent game in a few months in response to the market. What we'll see at E3, and for probably all of 2013, was already fairly planned out before the Wii U even launched.

I suppose Nintendo could show trailers for games that are in early development that aren't due for a while to build some hype of the future, but they haven't done that sort of thing in a while. They typically don't announce anything that E3 that is not intended to be in stores prior to the next E3.

Well, they could make a game that fast (indie developers sometimes make games in a month, really bad looking games but could still be fun). They just care too much about the quality of the gameplay and everything that even if they finished making the game before the year is up, I think they'd spend the next year making sure it worked properly.

and this is where the 3DS launch beat the Wii U, i was sold on the 3ds by the games they showed, some of them were cancelled and ONE OF THEM STILL ISN'T OUT IN THE US

and 2 years the Wii U had them dancing around with nintendoland

we learned our leason with the 3DS, dont show games meant for beyond the launch era for people to get excited for

They did that with Project HAMMMERRRRRREDD at the beginning of the Wii cycle.

Funny you mention that, because a somewhat quick way to release games while the big guns are being polished is to go back to **** like Project H.A.M.E.R. and Disaster: Day of Crisis and gave them a wii u up-convert or something. I know Disaster came out in Europe but not in the US, so there's still a ton of people like myself who would be curious enough to check it out. ****, at this point just go and release Captain Rainbow as an eshop only title and I'll buy it, my japanese copy is just sitting there and I'll likely never open it..

According to the Nintendo Eshop, Wonderfull 101 is "coming soon" and apparently it did not say that just a little while ago.

Toki Tori 2 has been "coming soon" to eShop for a few months now so that really doesn't mean anything until a release date is pegged down.

I'm surprised you didn't post the Miyamoto interview about Pikmin 3 being a "deeper experience". Slackin', bud.

I'm using the Wii U now but since my daughter started crawling I've been mostly using an ipad to browse the internet. It's convenient to keep an eye on her while she's watching cartoons and playing but typing on it is the worst! Copy and pasting links is such a chore with it and I'm constantly pressing wrong buttons, tabs and links. Sending messages and stuff like that over the Wii U is so much easier because of the stylus. But I don't usually surf the net with this thing.

So that's my excuse and now you know! And you know what I say, "you know enough!" G.I. Jose!

Slightly related anecdote; I've been working in a hospital setting the last few years, big Hispanic population in the villages surrounding the hospital. I've seen many Juan Does come through, never a John Doe...

Capcom Is Bringing DuckTales Back

Coming to Wii U, PS3, and 360... but I only really care that it's coming to Wii U. Kotaku calls it "something of a remake based on the original Nintendo version of DuckTales" and it's co-developed by WayForward Technologies and Capcom.

Sold.

That makes me happy. Sounds like it's a remake but when you are remaking a great game, it should hopefully come out great on the end. Plus, I have enjoyed what Wayforward has done before so I believe it is in good hands. I'll be picking it up as well most likely.

So I got Monster Hunter and so far I'm not thrilled. Can't stand the loose controls, the text boxes are so small and in the worst part of the screen plus I'm a little over whelmed with what's what.

I got sucked into the hype so I'm giving it a chance. How long til I'm fighting those big ol monsters and playing online? How do I join friends online?

You didn't try the demo?

Caterkiller · « **Reply #5648 on:** March 23, 2013, 03:26:41 AM »

No it's a HD 37in. It's just the dialogue box is in he worst place and its super small.

30 minutes into Lego and its hitting all the right notes! This is fun and genuinely funny. And I know funny, I live in Hollywood! Kinda...

@ BlackNMild, you know, I never play demos. I just kind of assume I like something or not. I'm sure it will win me over eventually.

Enner · « **Reply #5649 on:** March 23, 2013, 04:21:55 AM »

Monster Hunter is an odd and hard nut to crack. The game really does take 8-10 hours to settle in, experience the game's loop, and decide if you enjoy the game or not. That time is partially due to how poorly designed the introduction is for neophytes.

Don't be shy to any guides; the game doesn't help you in figuring out its vital intricacies. Stick with it and you will find which side of the fence you stand on with the series. If you are willing to spend the cash, the Monster Hunter Beginner's Guide is reportedly very good (and probably the manual the game series needs).
