Unlike the previous Droids, the Droid 4 has actual individual keys, not a keypad.
It is leaps and bounds above the previous versions, but it's still... lacking. I think Motorola misses the point of having a full keyboard. We phone-keyboarders want the keyboard because we like the feel of the buttons and being able to easily type without having to look at the keys. If we wanted something flat and nondescript, we could just a touch screen keypad. Give us real, individual buttons with some height on them.
Like he said, nobody asks a tablet to do anything too taxing. And most developers know how to optimize whatever app they make to the specs of a tablet. Yeah, it's cool to have a tablet with all the bells and whistles, but you gotta ask yourself at the end of the day what it's doing with all those specs.Infinity Blade II looks better than any game on the Wii and holds up well against many PS360 games on the ipad.
Better resolution does not equal better textures, polygon, and other graphics.
I think Mario is in great hands. For me Star Fox, F-Zero, and even Zelda could use a western approach.
I predict that they'll show a new 2D Mario game for the Wii U. Maybe they'll put in Mii's to mix it up?
Nah. That sounds shitty.
The Wii U controller uses a resistive touch screen and a stylus, similar to the DS / 3DS. This was confirmed by Nintendo at E3 2012, and they even showed pictures of it.The patent application in question says they could opt to use a capacitive one; the hardware shown last year wasn't final. There are special styluses designed for capacitive screens.
It wasn't even motion plus controls, if they really had a great ambitions for Mario tennis we would have seen it. With better hardware now ideas that were once impossible are now conceivable. That's just how Nintendo makes their games. Unless of course it is a major cash cow that must be released every generation.
W-Zero would have been literally GX with online, and probably worse graphics.
But is it a Multi-Touch screen? Will it be able to play all iPad games?
Cool your jets, buster brown. What he's saying is that he couldn't do anything surprising with the current hardware. An F-Zero game for Wii wouldn't surprise anyone with what it could do other than the fact that it existed. However, with the Wii U, he's saying he might be able to find some way to surprise fans of the series. It could be graphics, game play, whatever but Miyamoto wants to surprise us and doesn't think he can (at least not with F-Zero) right now.
If he wants to surprise people with the F-Zero franchise, then the GBA games shouldn't have been made. They were nothing more than glorified SNES games on a handheld.
And I can think of plenty of ways to make F-Zero on the current Wii work. Online racing, motion-controlled steering, downloadable tracks and cars, online leaderboards, downloadable time trial ghosts, etc.
Hell, they put Mario Kart on every system imaginable, so why can't they give F-Zero some more love? They put the N64 F-Zero game on the VC, and Captain Falcon in Smash Bros. Brawl, for crying out loud. What a cocktease that was.
The only thing F-Zero needs is good graphics, a sense of speed, and good music. Online racing and leaderboards would be a nice bonus as well.
F-Zero on the GBA was "surprising" or necessary in a sense because it was the first hand held F-Zero.
Mario Kart is the once a generation per system cash cow. F-Zero stands no where close to the importance of Mario Kart.
What Miyamoto is saying about F-Zero applies directly to Star Fox and Mario Tennis as well. On the N64 Nintendo did all they could with SF64, after that no wonder they pawned it off to everyone else. Now maybe with better hardware the possibilities are greater. Motion certainly wasn't going to do anything for f-zero, barely did anything for mario tennis either. Thats why we got new play control instead of a brand new game.
Well, that's what the GBA was capable of. Besides, it may not have been Miyamoto's call to make those games, and his priorities are probably different from what they were. If he's gonna dust off F-Zero, he's gonna do something surprising with it. Until he or some one else figures out what that is, we shall just wait.
Yep, so basically you need to have a AT&T iPhone that is no under contract and you need to be in good standing with the company.

It's bigger than you think. The problem is that it's too easy for a company to set up any modern smartphone to access company servers, retrieve/view/edit data, and provide decent security. So, anybody who wants their iPhone or Android device to load their work email can do so, albeit not as well as a BlackBerry. Basically, RIM won that market, but then that market got more options. It now comes down to the cool factor, which isn't RIM's strong suit anymore.
Quote from: My Nintendo News
Miyamoto was also asked by the publication why Nintendo hasn’t created a new game in the F-Zero franchise. Miyamoto claims that it wouldn’t be surprising enough on current hardware, but the Wii U could be the perfect fit.
“I think at the time it was a really big surprise, a new thing, a product that made sense,” he said. “I don’t see with current hardware how you could create a similar surprise.
“But maybe with future hardware, with Wii U coming up, maybe we could create something that does make sense, either as a smaller game, or a fully fledged title.”

He's basically saying they're not working on it instead of giving the usual non-answer that allows one to speculate.
There's still an enterprise market. It's what keeping RIM in business now. The problem came when the smartphone market expanded and RIM couldn't keep up. All the other manufacturers had to do then was make their devices usable in that market space (remote wiping being a key feature) and slowly edge out the Black Berry as the go-to business phone.
Martha Marcy May Marlene: Goddamn, what a movie. VERY good, but disturbing at times. Elizabeth Olsen's FIRST ROLE. She's gonna have an incredible career.
Except that Miyamoto has talked about them not even thinking about it yet.
I dunno, that's just what really throws me off.
Meh, that new Nokia has a few fanboys clamoring, but we'll see how it sells. It's not the Windows Mobile of old that was designed for enterprise users, so it kinda loses the market there. But when RIM finally goes under, somebody's gotta pick up the enterprise market. MS has been there before, but I think Apple wants it more and has the "cool" factor going for it.
What is a "hardcore" gamer? Do they like ultra-violent games that feature healthy online communities (maybe healthy isn't the right word for it)? Or is a hardcore gamer someone who enjoys a damn good immersive, meaty gaming experience? Remember when it used to be the latter and not the former?
If a streaming service operated more like Netflix, where you pay a flat monthly fee and got access to anything you want, I think it would be more well-received. And more importantly, there are other options for people who want to buy things physically or as downloads. Like he said, options are good but forcing only streaming is a bad idea, especially with internet access in this country in the shape it's in right now.
Not at all, their global market share shrinks every single day. I fully expect RIM to be bankrupt, or at least going to software-only (and then soon after completely gone) by the end of 2013.
Pikmin will be a game designed to appeal to hardcore and casuals.
I think Wii Sports 2 would be a little bit of a cop-out.
