How is the final boss of this game related to non-Ganon Zelda villians?

He's not.

Is he related to Ganon? [/spolier]
 
Has anyone noticed all of the sexual innuendos with Ghirahim?

It is an interesting question.  Personally, I see Nintendo keeping with the SD Card route...and personally, I like that method best. 

Yes, SD cards aren't as fast or as cheap as a hard drive, but they do offer some benefits. 

I like the idea of being able to switch out SD cards for certain games and such.  Say if I had Rock Band I could have and entire SD card devoted to my rock band saves and music files...then whenever I played rock band or took it to my friends house I just bring my one SD card. 

Another SD card could be solely used for in game saves. 
Another for arcade game downloads and such.
Another for Apps that are compatible with the Wiitab on the go.  (If it has an SD card out.)

The point is, SD cards open up options I like, and I hope Nintendo continues going that direction.  Though I hope if they do, Nintendo allows us to decide where games save.  Default being the internal memory, but an option to save direction to the SD card...and play off the SD card.

As for internal memory.  I think Nintendo should go the iPad route.  It only needs about 32-64 GB SSD memory...and then the SD card support, and that is something Nintendo should be able to put in at its desired price point.

I feel the same way about flash drives. I hope that Nintendo lets us use those as external storage device because the price for high capacity flash drives is falling pretty steadily. Being able to play directly from said flash drive is also a must as well.

I would buy two copies of both Last Story and Xenoblade if it meant I could buy one copy of Pandora's Tower.

Maybe they needed more time for production because demand may have been higher than they expected.

I hope they sell every copy.

Makes you wonder if we will get Last Story and Pandora's Tower just to fill the release gap and make some money before the Wii U launch?

Companies don't choose who they compete with, the market does.

Anyway, I like the idea of Nintendo grabbing some goof Western devs.  The West runs the game industry these days.  This gen the big titles were almost all Western where as in the past Japan dominated.  Japan has REALLY dropped the ball regarding console games with Nintendo themselves being one of the rare exceptions.  Companies like Square Enix, Capcom and Konami are mere shells compared to what they were like even last gen.  The market has changed.

But it is important that Nintendo grabs GOOD devs, not the Olsen Twins games guys like they did before.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but if Nintendo had aquired more western third party developers and they developed games that sold very well then the financial turmoil that Nintendo is currently facing would be lessened? Now if they co-developed with western developers then they would still have profit, but not nealry as much as if it was exclusively their internal developers because the profits would have to be split and Nnitendo could not horde the cash for themselves.

Should Nintendo buy more western developers or talent to help boost first party software? I ask because it seems that Nintendo's Japanese first party titles are always tied up with developing the latest Zelda or Mario, so a combination of first and third party software would help boost sales and help close the launch gaps that plauge Nintendo games. Who should they buy? Honestly, I think that Nintendo should offer to buy Volition from THQ.

Volition's not worth saving, but Nintendo (and Japan in general) has needed to expand out into Western Studios for some time now.  The age where the industry was dominated by Japanese tastes and sensibilities is over, and the major players will need more studios like Retro; Insomniac; Bungie; etc. to compete in this new market.  Nintendo may have even realized this if the rumors are true and Retro's looking at Zelda next.

What I was getting at was Nintendo should aquire more western talent to supplement Retro. Let Retro Studios lead the charge in western development and let them have two or three first party western developers to back them up.  Who should they buy?

Dasmos, don't be a jerk.  Kytim, don't be an idiot.

I'm warning you both for wasting my time.

What set me off is this guy calling me an "idiot." If he would keep his name calling to himself then there would be no need to waste your time, Vudu.

Sorry, I don't understand. First you tell me to keep my sentiments to myself, then you tell me I can say whatever I'd like? Which one is it, sugar?

Allow me to break this down for you, Dasmos.
 
"I would appreciate it if you kept sentiments such as this to yourself."
 
This means calling me or nayone else out of their name on this forum to yourself. I would never do this to you or anyone else, so I expect you to do the same.
 
 
"Say what you want about my postings on this forum, but at least I contribute something other than smart ass remarks to everyone posts on this forum."
 
My posts could be considered to be crack pot by nature, but at least I try to make a positive contribution to this forum and its topics. Yourself, on the other hand, never has anything worth while to say and everything that you comment on is always a smart ass or sarcastic remark.
 
"Like I said before, if you do not like what I have to say then do not respond to anything that I write. If my posts become too unbarable then take it the administrators of NWR. Until then you can just tough it out because I'm not going any where any time soon. Cheers."
 
This is pretty self explanatory and I trust that you can figure it out on your own.

An idiot making thousands of idiotic predictions and getting one or two right doesn't make them a prophet. It makes them a lucky idiot.

I would appeciate it if you kept sentiments such as this to yourself. Say what you want about my postings on this forum, but atleast I contribute something other than smart ass remarks to everyone's posts on this forum. Like I said before, if you do not like what I have to say then do not respond to anything that I write. If my posts become too unbarable then take it the administators of NWR. Until then you can just tough it out because Iam not going any where any time soon. Cheers.

What if Nintendo changes the name of  WiiU to "Super Wii"?

What then?

What if the next Star Fox is developed by Retro Studios?
 
Could I have my title changed to: "Prophet of the Super Wii"?

I would prefer that this game retain the gritty art style of the Arkham games. The kid freindly atmosphere  of the 1980s cartton just wouldn't fit in a good game for me. Although the characters of that series should return, Rocksteady should put its on aesthetical design to the characters instead. The Technodrom and those robotic unicycles with the whips for arms should appear as well.

This game would be so awesome if Cam Clarke, the original voice actor for Leonardo on the original series, returned to voice Leonardo in this game. He has worked on numerous game voice overs, which would include Liquid Snake in the MGS series. Also, some of the original voice actors from the animated Batman series returned to their roles for the Arkham games, so Rocksteady should do the same for this TMNT game.

Let me go over here and put on my conspiracy hat...

::walks over to the hat rack, takes the tin foil hat, puts it on::

If I'm correct, there's only one company that makes the memory cards for the 3DS - Nintendo.
Any attempts to get the cards cheaper are going to go through them.

Shot in the dark here - Nintendo cut a deal with Capcom to get the price down in exchange for - something.  Maybe they think this will be a huge title to get "core" gamers to seriously consider the 3DS?  Maybe something with Capcom and the Wii U?

Nintendo might have cut a deal with Capcom to insure that Resident Evil 6 is a Wii U launch title. If RE Revelations is successful then I could easily see this happening.

Anyone is out of their mind to think that Nintendo is going to do away with th Wii name. It has made them way too much money to abandon. Therefore Nintendo will opt to create some better version of the Wii name and hence "Super Wii." Also, the fact that the Wii is looked upon as a purely casual game console is false. Some of the best games I ahve ever played were on the Wii and the Super Wii is only going to add to that awesomeness when I will be able to play all the third party games on it later this year.

Nintendo should rename the Wii U to be “Super Wii.” It brings back fond memories of perhaps Nintendo’s best home console ever and the word “Super” gives a sense of empowerment, which the Super Wii would bring to the Wii brand of consoles. It would still have the “Wii” name so that Nintendo can still make money off of the Wii’s popularity and at the same time Nintendo can get more word of mouth because the “Super Wii” is so much easier for the consumer to pronounce and remember.

I would rather they bring back the "NES" brand. The NES and SNES were bar none the best Nintendo systems, and it was only with the N64 that the company went down hill. It is obvious they never should have ditched the brand name. That would be like Sony dropping the Playstation brand in favor of some silly kiddy name like woozle wozzle.

This is my point, Chozo. When Nintendo loyalists hear the word "Super" in relation to a Nintendo console then they will be immediatly reminded of the SNES (and possibly the NES) era and think that the quality of Nintendo has returned. Secondly, the causuals will hear the word "Wii" and assume that it is a new Wii console for them to buy non-hard core titles for. It is a win-win situation and it neatraulizes the whole confusing naming scheme of the Wii U.
