TalkBack / Re: Staff Sez: What's the One Game You Could Play Over and Over Again?

« on: January 22, 2014, 09:46:27 AM »

Zelda II. I have played and beaten it so many times already. On the first day of Summer vacation I would start a new file, then keep playing the file and see how many times I could beat the game. By the end of summer I was pretty quick with it too.

So between the "launch" window for the Wii U and now the year of Luigi I am thinking Nintendo seriously needs to look at one of those calendars they give out for Club Nintendo every year.

Will any of the prizes be available to people who do not have headsets to call in?

I am so jealous. I have been hunting for one of those for years. I wanted one when they first came out, but no one would buy it for me. I have been outbid so many times on ebay it is not funny.

Leaning towards the soundtrack. Will probably pick up the calendar on ebay. I really like the Wind Waker poster, but the other ones are pretty bleh. That Pikmin one is going to be impossible to find a frame for. I hate when they do that size.

in order for it to be a true Playstation style jrpg they should announce that their story required excessive FMV can not possibly fit onto a cartridge so they have to skip Nintendo systems.

I never managed to actually catch you streaming, but personally I tend not to just because streaming sites do not really like my system much. Prizes are a good way to get people watching, but get tricky/expensive.

TalkBack / Re: Nathan Vella of Capybara Games: Nintendo Making a Big Move to Get Indie Games on Wii U

« on: June 11, 2013, 10:30:18 PM »

At PAX East I was talking with a developer from Zeboyd (Penny Arcade Adventures 3 +4) about bringing the game to the Wii U. He said they talked about it but did not want to start with the last game in the series. He did say that an executive from Nintendo had been over to talk to them about bringing their next game to Wii U, and that he heard them approaching other devs as well. Maybe things will not be so bad without 3rd parties if we get a sizeable amount of indies.

Off TV play has become one of my most used features, which is surprising. I often use when my son is watching TV and I feel like playing something. I am ashamed to admit that more than once I have used it simply because I did not feel like getting up and setting up the tv to play.

So if I am understanding things correctly, the only real change is they will focus on NA instead of world wide? Less baloney and more focus on the games? What was all the whining about then?

Really wanted to try this at PAX, but the line was always long and never seemed to move much. What I saw looked fun.

I went with Startropics 2. I love the first one and always wanted to play the second but never got around to it. This could be my chance.

Did the XBOX or PS3 have any big name games come out in the time period? I know that as soon as a big game gets released on Wii U sales will go up on it.

Really ticked off. I downloaded Mutant Mudds for my son as his Valentine's present less than 10 minutes before they announced the sale. I would have waited for Easter if I had known and gotten one of the other games instead.


I am debating getting Bit.Trip Saga. I have the collection for the Wii and am not really sure I want to double dip on it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I really wish they had focused on the sequel instead of remaking the original so many times. This was one of the games I was most looking forward to this year.

I do not think Nintendo will ever do a combined eshop for Wii U and 3DS. That would open up the whole issue of having to purchase the same game for both systems (especially Virtual Console) and Nintendo will not give up that cash cow anytime soon.

For reasons known only to them my bosses decided to change the time I work today. Instead of being able to catch the last part I will now have to miss this whole thing.I was excited too since this is my second favorite Zelda game.  Hope it goes well.

Wow. I have stayed away from Skylander's Giants because I thought the price was insane. These are ridiculous. Going to have to fast forward through a lot of commercials.

Crashmo I am kind of meh about. I enjoyed it, but I got stuck way too often and finally gave up pretty darn early. Just could not change my mindset.


Little Inferno I am absolutely loving. Think of it as a puzzle game and I think you will get it. It is my favorite of the Wii U games I have gotten so far (Batman, NSMBU, Nintendoland and Sonic Racing).
