Nintendo Gaming / Re: Wii U

Huh. I just realized that "Wii U" is a phonetic palindrome. Intentional or not, it's kind of cool.


Wii U
(U-eee eee-U)

It's way too early for Retro Studios to announce their newest game. DKCR was announced three years after Metroid Prime 3.

This is pretty cool. Too bad that's it only B&W Pokémon or I would instantly buy this.

all your VC games will be transferred over once you link your credit card to the system.
That won't work. That excludes games that were purchased using Wii Points cards or with different credit cards.

TalkBack / Re: Miyamoto Hopes to See Super Mario 3DS Released in 2011

I'd rather wait for a top notch new Mario title to be released in 2012 than have it rushed to the end of this year.

Besides, you guys do realize that if Super Mario Sunshine was ported as a launch title, you would still be saying "The 3DS has no NEW games I hate you Nintendo" but now with an additional "it's SM64DS all over again." It'll probably be even worse since so many people seem to hate SMS compared to SM64.

Awesome to know they're working on something.


I would love to work for them, but while I will have a degree in computer science, I satisfy very few of those Software Engineer requirements, unfortunately.

TalkBack / Re: Wii Party and Wii Sports Resort Drop in Price

I wouldn't call Wii Party a bomb, it did sell at least 5 million. Though it is small compared to Wii Sports and Wii Fit.

Notice that sales information for Wii Party was not given.


Needless to say, it probably didn't sell as much as WSR did in the same period. However, Wii Music has not been given an official (or at least announced) price drop even though it's the least successful (but Amazon is currently selling it for $29.99).

Ooh, new Wii Play game!


I'm also excited for this title. The original game was a lot of fun; I was thinking of going back to it earlier to beat some of my high scores.

TalkBack / Re: Is Q2 2011 Really That Bad?
« on: April 08, 2011, 10:58:11 PM »
Exactly. 2-3 months without releases don't bother me. Back in the Gamecube days, almost every game I got was given to me on my birthday or at Christmas. If I could deal with long stretches without new games then, I can do so now, especially with my own backlog.

Too bad none of those games, save for Portal 2 (but only slightly), interest me. I mean, I'd buy it, but my hardware's outdated and I don't plan to buy a new console just for it.


It's definitely bad but these dry spots never bother me. I've got 6 or 7 Wii titles I'd still like to purchase and play through, 15 or so DS games, and 5 or 6 WiiWare/DSi titles. Plus I've been messing with my 3DS and don't even have a game for it yet. I'll be plenty busy.


Same here. There's still a lot to do in my other Wii games to keep me busy. I recently started new playthroughs in Super Paper Mario and Twilight Princess, as well as finally getting into Okami and Cursed Mountain, so yeah. I still need to 100% some of my other games, too.

After having the system now for almost 2 weeks, playing games in 3D is akin to playing games in HD to me.  Like when you got your first real taste of gaming in HD for a good period of time, then you go and game on an SD television...it's extremely hard to go back.  I feel that way with the 3D in these 3DS games.  I've been lucky to not have any adverse affects from the 3D from the get go, so after all this playing I've become even more acclimated to 3D.  If I start up a game with the 3D off and start playing it, I immediately feel like "Man, somethings missing..." then BOOM, I see the 3D is switched off and am greeted immediately with what I've come to expect from that game.

It's funny because the games themselves don't drop in visual quality or anything, but if a game is 3D enabled (besides the AR games) I need to have it on.  Has anybody else come to this conclusion or feel similar after playing with the system for decent amount of time?
Same with me as well. I actually start feeling disoriented when the 3D is turned off.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Street Pass!
« on: April 06, 2011, 01:29:58 PM »
I currently have six Miis in my Street Pass, all of which are male, three are wearing Mario hats, and two I've passed twice. I have not passed more than one person each time I had the 3DS closed. It kinda sucks however that you can't accumulate a number of Miis and use them in Find Mii or Puzzle Swap; you have to immediately use it after it greets you.

Dude. Don't play Pilotwings with it turned up all the way. Put it three-fourths to halfway on Pilotwings. Works perfect. You guys need to experiment.


I thought this indicated that I don't play Pilotwings with the 3D turned up all the way.

I get double vision in PilotWings if the 3D is turned all the way up


And of course I experiment. I'm constantly playing with the depth slider everywhere I can to see what situations look the best in varying degrees of 3D. Pilotwings seems to suffer as 3D increases, but Nintendogs gets better, though I prefer it at 3/4.

I get double vision in PilotWings if the 3D is turned all the way up (I just can't seem to find the right spot, but I get no headaches, which is good), but it works really well in Nintendogs. I don't really mind staying in one spot to see the depth. The Face Raiders 3D also works well, but anything with the AR games is obnoxiously bad with its 3D, probably because you need the view the AR cards close-up.

Slate.com says the 3DS sucks. Though it should be noted that the author says "Handheld games aren't really my thing" and "I'm not a big 3-D fan either."

I'm still amazed that anyone could play Super Paper Mario for so long. What kinds of things keep you coming back? Do you try for low-level runs or no item runs or solo character runs or something?
Nah. I just love the game.  ;D

I dunno. I was trying out the light plane and I kept seeing double vision of the vehicle, and it made it awkward to play.

I was able to try out the 3DS at both the Grand Central terminal and the Nintendo World Store yesterday. The 3D effect in the AR games was a little tiring on the eyes, but looked awesome in the Mii Channel and Street Fighter. I tried out Pilotwings Resort as well, but I couldn't find the sweet spot to get the 3D to look right.

Awesomeness. I already preordered my 3DS on Amazon, so I'll use the credit on Nintendogs + Cats. I'm going to buy Pilotwings Resort with a gift card to Best Buy I got last summer and the money I saved up from recycling bottles.
