But considering it's on an HD console you probably won't need more than one controller anyway, all the games that are actually worth playing only support online MP.If that's true, then Sony really misunderstood what made the Wii so popular.
Metroid sells, predominantly, to people like us, who pay attention to reviews and word of mouth, and those have been, at best, mixed.Actually, I'd argue that that word-of-mouth is way more critical to selling to 'casuals'. They aren't going to care what some snobby game reviewer geek thinks about a game, but they will pay attention to what their friends are playing.
Interesting that there's an accelerometer in there.Really doesn't make any sense.
If you mean more funds / effort will be thrown at the 3D game, then I agree.Full 2-D Mario is still going to sell better then 3-D Mario though.
And, if recent trends continue, the 3D game is still going to be a lot better than the 2D one.
Would it be a good idea to include Skyward Sword? I know that game's release is far off, but what if one of your relatives pre-ordered the title for you for the holiday. I am very tempted, but want to hear feed back.Can't call a game a winner if it hasn't actually sold yet. Any pre-order numbers won't be known.
Doesn't matter if games continue to sell, it just makes look Nintendo look bad to investors to be in last place. The Wii is running out of steam, slowly but surely. I'm sure the next 2 months will be huge once again, but after that it's time for them to start hyping the Wii 2 or Wii HD or whatever it will be.Depends on how well Skyward Sword performs. If it's properly executed it could buy the platform another year. If not, then you're probably right. Do we know of any other first party games planned for after this holiday season?

Kotaku just sucks at reporting news.
What did Kotaku have to do with the rumored report?
it was sources close to gameblurb that posted the story. Kotaku reported on the 25 laid off back in August.
Wait until 8000 years from now when it's 10:10:10 on 10/10/1010.I doubt we'll be using the same calendar system, or even number system then.
Wasn't Pachter the one that predicted that PS3 would "definitely" win this generation's console war?That was all "analysts".
@Guitar SmasherConsider this:
You couldn't play a game on a laptop while walking but what's to prevent you on a car, bus, plane, or train?
They're way ahead of you. It apparently drops in early December and it's called "Cataclysm"... oops.That's a WoW expansion, correct? So basically, more of the same? Eventually WoW gamers are going to get bored with the theme, and look for something fresh.
I apologize for all the spamming. Perhaps we should create a new topic involving video game ideas regardless of their weirdness.That's not a bad idea, why don't you start one in General Gaming? I'd make one for you, but I think it'd be better if you set the tone of the discussion.
Mp3 players 'took off' before laptops 'took off' so that's not a fair comparison. And their functionality is so radically different it further makes your point moot. Mp3 players offer tons of music in your pocket, while a laptop is much too big for a pocket and does so many other things that using it only to play music is ridiculous. Even as I say that it makes me think of pocket-sized tablets which actually would be practical for only playing music on the go. Which also makes me think that tablets might negate the need for something like the Jungle.My point's valid - why spend $800 for a system that's much too large to be truly 'portable', that lasts no more than a few hours before the battery's dead, and that's designed for way more applications than you're actually interested in? Laptops aren't well suited to being portable music players, and they aren't well suited to being portable game systems.
It's for MMOs. Does it have World or Warcraft? No? Well then it is fucked.There's always room for new killer apps. I think the MMO community is ready for a new game that makes WoW look old.
Plus if I want to play MMOs on the go can't I just use a laptop?So that's why mp3 players never took off... how enlightened.
Didn't Nintendo drop the price of the DSi and DSiXL to 150 and 170?They might think the larger difference in price may help perceptions that 3DS truly is a notable upgrade over the DS, from the general public.
This move leads me to believe that the 3DS will not even cross the 200 dollar threshold and will most likely be priced at $199.99 along side the Wii.
Because most of the time when someone says "your opinion's just based on nostalgia", it comes with the pretense of "which makes your argument for this game invalid."During the NES's life, games were harder and were harder to learn. So people who enjoyed those games usually still enjoy them. They just like the games that leave more up to the player.That sounds like nostalgia for old games and design. It's exactly what I was saying. Again, there's nothing wrong with that, and I'm not sure why some people view it as a bad thing.
I think the producer described it as if they were making a present day game based on the movie, rather than just re-making the original game. In fact, in interviews they have made it a point to say that it is NOT a remake of the N64 game.And yet the promotional video shown at E3 described it as an homage to the original.
Yes, that means Blu-Ray has gotten cheaper. But it doesn't necessarily mean it's any cheaper than HD-DVD.They'd sooner use HD-DVD that go with Blu-Ray. Not a terrible idea considering it's niche usage today. Could probably get the tech for cheap as well.
I think the tech would be more expensive for HD-DVD. The more something is manufactured, the less it costs per unit to build. This is because there is more competition, more people working on developing cheaper versions of the technology and better manufacturing processes, and larger factories generally have cheaper per-unit costs than small factories (as long as the factory doesn't get too large).
