Nintendo Gaming / Nintendo... WAKE UP! the deku tree has bad news for you

« on: November 03, 2013, 04:14:02 AM »

 Why do Nintendo keep making moves like they want me to go elsewhere? I have been a Nintendo fan for about 25 years, but I'm starting to give up! All I require is one new attempt at a new IP every 18 months and 2 or 3 updates on existing franchises each year(actual new and full fat versions not HD or other 'updates') This means all Nintendo would have to do is make 3 or 4 quality games per year on each platform. This seems reasonable to me for a large and cash rich company, so why all the crap? software sells consoles and Nintendo's consoles ain't selling, so stop trying to pull the wool N we are not idiots! I would like to point out that i do like HD remakes etc but they don't constitute a proper game release and STOP ignoring the fans we DO want a new Metroid and we DO want an F Zero!

 This kind of activity mentioned above has pushed me into buying a PS3 and playing more PC games and I feel a bit abandoned by Nintendo but i am starting to enjoy my GTA V and the new Tomb raider and such like. I am even enjoying the newer rayman releases as much as some of the classic Nintendo platformers. My plea is to demand Nintendo smarten up and do the right thing before more guys like me are forced to go elsewhere!!

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Wii U is here

« on: November 25, 2012, 04:07:37 AM »

I'm sticking with my standard Wii it appeals to me more than the Wii U with its shockingly bad controller! what were Nintendo thinking? Iv'e been a lifelong fan but this was the last straw! they have tried to follow the trends by releasing an ipadalike controller - just aweful. Also where is the proper games? thy are seemingly giving up on metroid and F-zero and releasing more mario stuff than required, you can have too much of a good thing!

Your move N do the right thing by at least releasing some new ip or at least F zero or a new Metroid Prime or i'm outta here!

An HD Wii with significantly more umph than the Ps3/Xb360 would of been far better than the turd ipadalike nightmare they have come up with!

It seems to me the big N have always gone their own way with tech and not worried about the competition but ticking the ipad and 3d boxes recently has been detremental.

Wii2 bundled with wii sports 2 would of been far better. They should of built on the success of Wii instead of starting again whilst panicing about what the competition are doing.

Podcast Discussion / Re: Best of the Wii: Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

« on: October 06, 2012, 04:11:38 AM »

Evidence that the Wiimote/nunchuck beats the gamepad

Wii version of resident Evil 4 best out of all the platforms!

begs the question...

Why ditch it for an analog ipad thingy(WiiU)

and before anyone suggests that the Wiimote will still get supported on WiiU then i'm
more than willing to take bets it will be for no more than 6 months(in WiiU specific games).

An HD Wii a year back would of been spot on!

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Damn that stupid WiiU tablet.

If you look at the uptake of secondary input devices for all systems then you can see the wiimote is more or less abandoned! How many games used the gamecube pad on Wii? or the six axis control on ps3 or Kinect on XB360, need i go on? the fantastic Wiimote/nunchuk has been replaced by a very bad thing indeed.

Third party support will continue to be a problem for nintendo even with an analog stick device. They should of stuck to the plan of appealing to a broader audience whilst keeping the fanboys sweet with new IP's or for me F zero Gx 2 :-)

I can't see how the WiiU pad is gonna work for wii sports gamers they created this gen and i also can't see hardcore gamers dumping their xboxes or ps3's to play WiiU when their new and more powerful boxes are round the corner.

I'll stick with my Wii for now, i have a ton of games left to complete.

The only way they can get out of this hole is through amazing games! So get your creative finger out Nintendo because all you have left is fanboys this gen and they still remember the bloody nose you gave them last gen.

Nintendo Gaming / Damn that stupid WiiU tablet.

I believe Nintendo invented a great method of gaming control when they introduced the world to the wiimote and here we are getting hyped about an analog stick based controller? has the world gone mad? Side-on Nes style, tilt and motion, and amazing pointer usage in shooters, this piece of kit when accepted for what it can do instead of what it can't do is an amazing advance on gaming. If you take a classic like Resident evil 4 and simply add the pointer it improves it or take a game like Mercury and add tilt it improves it. I want to know who wants a tablet, have we become fashion victims following apple in a direction that is not healthy for gaming?

Nintendo Gaming / Skyward sword - perfect controls?

« on: November 11, 2011, 01:00:51 PM »

Now that skyward sword is out there with amazing reviews complementing its amazing, nay PERFECT controls, is it really wise to ditch the wiimote for a Tablet/analog thingy for WiiU? could this be a backwards step? Bare in mind the WiiU is gonna support multiple tablets so common sense would suggest the end of the now vindicated Wiimote as was the 'support' for gamecube pads on Wii.

The difference between the Gamecube controller and Wiimote is the Gamecube controller was never required to play multiplayer games on the Wii.  Nintendo has made it very clear that you'll need to use Wiimotes to play multiplayer games on the Wii U since the controller will be very expensive and the system won't be able to handle four Wii U controllers at the same time.

Since the Wiimote will still be an important part of the Wii U, it's not going anywhere.  I'd imagine a good number of Nintendo games will still be made to be controlled with it since it'll be something most Wii U owners will still have.

Excellent comment i actually feel a bit happier about the issue now, let's hope even single player games get a Wiimote lookin. I think my hatred of playing first person games on dual analog contollers fuelled this post.

As for stealing my name! If you google Pantburster you will see that i have been active under this name for years on lots of games and ladders and forums etc. I would hunt you down and pimp slap you in front of your biatch!

It doesn't work that way. I tried to change ShyGuy's name to TJ Spyke after I'd changed his name to something else, but it still wouldn't let me do it. The original account name is locked forever. I could change your name to something similar, though. Pantburster69, perhaps.

Somebody could do it, but they'd have to write a SQL command to do it.

As for the OP, I still fully expect the WiiU to have a significant advantage over current generation hardware. With Epic Studios on board as advisors, and that Epic is pushing their next gen engine to be ready for the next machines, I'm not counting the WiiU out until the form is finalized next E3.

Anyone who is willing to write off ideas before experiencing them is more likely a troll who loves to live under bridges.

I'm not writing anything off fully but i am concerned about the main controller and the reasons behind it choice. If you think back to the reasons given for the introduction of the wiimote then you will remember that it was noted that dual analog controllers were too complicated and less button usage would be an advantage. This along with a  1 to 1 motion/poiting device innovation would be a revolution in gaming. Back to the Wii U, a dual analog? i don't get it thats all?

I'm not writing the Wii U off i'm just not completely happy with the reasoning given what information is available.

Nintendo Gaming / Goodbye my beloved Wiimote Wii will miss U

 Question: If you were an XBOX or PS3 gamer would the Wii U tempt you away from your chosen console?
  Answer: Erm no, why should it, it's no more powerful than what i have and its graphics and space marine shooters and not mario i wan't.

 Question: If you are a Wii gamer then i assume it is the next generation motion controls that drew you to Wii(and the obvious IP's i accept that) So you want a Wii U?
  Answer: Erm Yea and no, Yea 'cos i like Mario,Zelda  etc BUT no on the other hand because I love my Wii's next gen controller and iv'e just seen what it is capable of with the Skyward Sword game! also being into Nintendos games the HD isn't a massive issue.

I'm concerned the Wiimote is much like the Gamecube controller that went before, compatable with the new hardware but never really to be taken too seriously again! and the replacement? An Ipad'alike tablet form dual analog controller! NOT for me at all!!! It seems Nintendo are playing it safe. Even tho it looks like a new idea it isn't. It is simply everything that is popular roled into one and this jack of all trades master of none worries me!!!

Please don't let this woeful controller replace our now perfect motion plus wiimotes

Another worry is just who are they trying to sell to? PS360 gamers won't want it? and as for the rest of us? who knows if they force this controller on us?
