What am I supposed to say that Chozo Ghost didn't already say? I agree with him, simple as that. Most people here probably aren't going to. The lack of epic games using new IPs is something I feel very strongly about but few seem to care or they don't notice the problem.
Also Ian if you look at the trends of the so called hardcore gamers on HD platforms they favor action games or FPS games that are less than 15 hours long.

« on: February 27, 2009, 06:49:19 PM »Tecmo has been supporting Nintendo platforms more than in the past; it's a bit unfair to claim this company is merely developing Wii games to fund other PS3/360 projects.
Tecmo seems to be having an identity crisis lately. Aside from Ninja Gaiden on DS and Ninja Gaiden 2--both of which involved Itagaki (who has left Team Ninja)--the only decent release I'm aware of is Super Tecmo Bowl. I guess the Super Swing Golf might count, depending on who you ask? Anyway, most of those games are on Nintendo platforms. DOA4 was a 360 launch title, well before Wii came out and sold like hotcakes.
I actually hate Ninja Gaiden 2 because the game is just very cheap especially the bosses and what not even though I bought Ninja Gaiden 2 for 9.99 I felt ripped off. The quality assurance in that game is just piss poor.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Nintendo will be aggressively targeting indy developers for wiiware and dsiware
« on: February 27, 2009, 06:34:31 PM »Ian if you had a PS3 or 360 you will see how bad most of the demos are after playing though a bunch of them. The worst demo in recent memory was Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, if you want to know why ask Mr. Jack or whoever bought the game and played the demo.
Is that true that the Banjo Kazooie demo sucked? Wow. That's sad... though it does shed some light on why the game was an absolutely horrible failure in the marketplace.
Demo sucked because according to Nick you get a vehicle that's not very suitable on the specific level that you are on. The main reason Banjo Kazooie N&B bombed is two fold (despite the 40 dollar price tag). 1. Gamers that were interested in a Banjo Kazooie game were probably burned that this isn't a usual platformer game.(I fall in this category) 2. There is simply no interest for this type of game in the existing Xbox 360 userbase.
I think this shows that most Rare properties do not suit the XBox fanbase.
That's the point they are trying to get the Nintendo audience to Xbox and it failed miserably.

I recently tried out Nunchuk controls in brawl and it's the most underrated set up ever and I think that everybody forgot that Brawl allows you to fully customize controls to your liking.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Is Nintendo losing touch with its roots?
« on: February 27, 2009, 09:34:39 AM »But is this still true with the Wii? Though the Wii is the undisputed market leader, the only new franchises Nintendo had introduced is non-games like Wii Fit and Wii Music and Wii Resort. We do enjoy rehashes of core classic NIntendo games like Zelda and Mario, but where is the new hardcore stuff? Nintendo has apparently realized softcore games are cheap to develop and sell extremely well, so that's pretty much all they focus on now. Longstanding Nintendo fans are "rewarded" with rehashes of recycled franchises, but all the new stuff goes to wooing grandmas. What gives?
False, Nintendo was always about appealing to everyone, Nintendo always does new franchises so I don't know where you have been especially when there is EXCITE!!, just because a specific new game from Nintendo appeals you doesn't mean that Nintendo abandoned you, if you think that there was always hardcore gaming that's false NES even had a piano training game! But the reason we get "rehashes" is because it's Nintendo's staple franchises and there's demand for them always it's like saying that Sony shouldn't make anymore God of War games and Microsoft shouldn't make Halo games anymore. Also where have you been Nintendo released a bunch of hardcore games: Battalion Wars 2, Excite Truck, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, LOZ:TP, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Strikers, Mario Sluggers, Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Wario Land Shake It, Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. So learn your facts before you claim that Nintendo has just given up, I think Nintendo has a good balance between catering for both the Nintendo fans and games that appeal to everyone.
Remember when the Gamecube only did games and nothing else? Many people complained about that, but I thought it was the right way to go. When you try to shove a lot of capabilities into one device you lose focus and you end up excelling at nothing. This is the problem with the PS3 and 360. While they do play games, they also want to do movies and everything else at the same time. Well, Nintendo used to be above that, but look at the DSi and you see they are caving in somewhat to the same sort of behavior that led Sony to develop the PSP. The PSP is a jack of all trades, but a master of nothing. If you want a gaming device, you get a DS. If you want a multimedia device, you're better off getting an iphone or ipod. The PSP can do all those things, but it can't do them terribly well.Microsoft and Sony always focus on multimedia first then gaming second like I said in another thread before and Nintendo is about gaming first and added value stuff second. I don't really think that the DSi is caving in to that since part of the reason they are using cameras is for gameplay purposes like the new Wario Ware on DSi deals with using the camera. Also yes there is multimedia stuff on the DSi and the DSi won't do a bunch of things well like audio files can only be played in the AAC format. But Nintendo in my eyes is trying to go after the iphone in a way since Apple has a apps store that you can download and buy neat applications and Nintendo always wanted ways to implement added value solutions with the DSL since you saw their failed attempts(commercially) with a MP3 player add on and internet browser but these times they are integrated into the machine now.
But the main issue is the games. Nintendo is a wealthy company now (actually they have been for many years), so why do they just horde their wealth? They should be using their wealth to build and acquire new studios and start pumping out new franchises, especially ones geared towards their hardcore fans. The 20th incarnation of Mario or Zelda can only satisfy old guard fans for so long, eventually we want something new and fresh, but where is it? I'm not a non-gamer really at all. I can play them for 15 minutes or so and then I'm done. I need more 40+ hour epics.
I don't know where you have been but Nintendo made a new building in Kyoto, formed Project Sora with Sora (Nintendo being the principal investor), they just announced a bunch of release dates and 2 new games: Excitebots:Trick Racing and Legend of Starfy. Also Nintendo announced another model of the classic controller for people who didn't like the first one you just have to wait for the announcement since I think Nintendo was burned with LOZ:TP coming out way later than they wanted it to. Also you don't need to stick with only Nintendo games on Nintendo systems there are a bunch of great third party games on Wii despite what anyone says.
I think Nintendo's problem came when they became successful again. They were succesful in the 80s and 90s too, but there was something different then that I can't really put my finger on. Maybe its because many of the people who made Nintendo great back then have left the company, or have become older and had their interests change which unfortunately seems to be the case with Miyamoto. Yes, Nintendo is a huge success once again, but it seems they've sold their soul to get there. Has success made Nintendo no different than any other huge company? Are they now really no different than Sony or MS?
People always come and go you can never really change that however in my eyes Nintendo didn't change, people's tastes did in my opinion. Also Wii, Gamecube and SNES are my favorite Nintendo consoles since those are the Nintendo systems I had the most fun with. Just because Nintendo is focusing on a more broader audience(which is a lie since Nintendo always tried to target everyone) to rekindle a dying market in Japan and to reverse the trend of Nintendo consoles shrinking and shrinking in user base, if your user base shrinks every 6 years or so the best business sense is to change your strategy of course.

It's a combination of Excitetruck and Excitebike essentially so I suppose it's a sequel in the sense. I hope there's Wi-Fi this time and I wonder if they retained the ability to put
