Nintendo Gaming / Tomb Raider on a Nintendo Console??

« on: March 31, 2006, 11:24:43 AM »

I've never been a big fan of the Tomb Raider franchise, except when it was on saturn and it was part 1, and pretty new and respectable. Now according to IGN it is coming to gamecube, but because its so close to April 1, I'm not sure if I should beleive it, given Tomb Raiders lack of a past on previous Nintendo systems.

Nintendo Gaming / Animal Crossing Games

« on: February 18, 2006, 07:28:45 PM »

from what i know 4 people can be in a town at once

Tag
It wears a  red shirt, non  its  where  blue  shirts,  no  tag backs, player hits other player with shovel,  if  hit player changes shirt color to red and it changes shirt to blue

Hide and seek
same shirt idea,  except when  found players become group.

capture the flag
teams of two, red and blue, if your hit with a shovel you change to green and drop whatever items you have. You must then  go to  base to change back  to  color. Players must take 4 items to base,  but only one at a time. He  who  gets all four items in wins.

these game rely on people following the rules, otherwise  they  wouldnt work.

would these work? i just devised  them

of course without having ever been on wifi ac

Nintendo Gaming / 2 versions of Zelda?

« on: February 13, 2006, 04:05:55 PM »

apparently,  rumors a re  Zelda will be  delayed yet  again.

anyways,  i remember sega releasing sonic 3d blast for both genesis and saturn at the  same time, also EA  releases ps1,  and ps2 versions of the same game all the time(or at least does in a transition).

What if this is what Nintendo plans to do?

NWR Forums Discord / The cool future game

« on: February 06, 2006, 10:19:15 AM »

ok it is the year 2049, cars are outdated(sorry rush fans).  You see in the year  2020 Walter Barbera invented cold fusion.  This was a tremendous day for mankind  because it ended the use of gas  powered cars poluting the atmosphere, as well as the polution caused by burning coal. Electricity  became free.

However water became very expensive. Unfortunately, the world was over-populated. By 2032 the great water war killed millions.

Then came an even greater invention then cold fusion  in 2040.  Scientist discovered a way to open dimentional  rifts and travel from one side of the universe to  the other. In  order  to  do  this  they needed to create  gateways and  charge them up,  they  need  a  tremendous  amount of power to  run,  but  thankfully  cold  fusion took care of it. They created  a  clean,  safe and easy way to travel. For the first 2 years people  could  travel from city  to  city,  from  country to country in an instant.  It  became  so simple that  people had  these  machines  installed in their closets.

Within a few years many countries merged because it was very conveniant. The United States, the UK, Canada,  Austrailia merged  to form the Pan Global Federation.  Spain and Mexico also  merged,  as well as several  South American states.  Basically  countries that spoke the  same language  became  one. The  European  Union Solidified(however with  the UK leaving),  and eventually a form of sign language  was taught  to all children in  Europe so that everyone  could  speak with one  another. The Middle  East,  some  African  countries all formed  similar unions.

After some spacecraft arrived on Mars..containing RiftDoors, the  planet was  quickly terraformed. Every  country staked  out some land and built  some  colonies.

Anyways,  your  job is to create a  colony on a planet.....and decribe how it functions.

General Gaming / Time Competition

« on: January 25, 2006, 12:05:29 PM »

Xbox 360  will  probably be  number one  in  the  US because it was first out of the gate here. Soi far its done pathetic in Japan however. With nintendo launching so close to Playstation 3 how will this bode?
E3 ill generate alot of hype for Revolution, alot of hype will be for Playstation 3 as well. however,  if they are released so  close together how will things  pan  out.

You see alot of the reason PS2 ended updominating was it was released first. This  generation Sony  probably will not  have that advantage. This I beleive will hurt it. I think the dedicated fanbase that Nintendo has will give Sony a run for its money.  If Nintendo is just one month more dominant in  sales  it could  turn the tides.  PS3 will probably not have a huge lead over Revolution and  if  Nintendo is correct  it will  get  non-gamers to  buy its system. When i say  non -gamers i mean  those who have  avoided  gaming due  to  the  complexity of  controller.  IE  our parents, hot  girls, old people.

This  could give Nintendo a lead.  If  they take over Japan ,  they may  then  take  over the west.

Nintendo Gaming / the speculated

« on: January 25, 2006, 05:49:01 AM »

Tons of games could be in devlopment right now and  could have  been in devlopment for years.
Nintendo at last e3 was speculated to have new franchises but didn't show any. Various  third parties  have made announcements as well. Plus theres rumors.

First,  although some of Miyamoto's comments were actually against such a thing there may be
a Mario game in development at EAD.  Iwata asked him to make one.  Hopefully, he listens.

so far lets make it  into list form

First Party
Mario
Super Smash Bros 3
Metroid  Prime 3(this will be big)
Pokemon  Revolution

speculated
a light gun game
a survival horror fps
a strategy game(possibly Pikmin with a deeper interface. Maybe  a new Fire emblem game


Second Party
Camelot  RPG
Mario Party 8

Third Party
The Ea list
Ubisoft shooter
Sonic  Game
Kojima Game
Thq  game
Rumored  Lucas Art game
Kouichi Suda  game
final  fantasy chronicles online

and more!

Nintendo Gaming / Gear up for e3!!!!!

« on: January 24, 2006, 08:38:20 PM »

This years Electronic Entertainment Expo better known as E3 2006 is coming up in just 104 days
That’s only a little over 3 months from now. It starts on May 9th early in the morning.  You had better be ready for some Revolution news; it’s going to be an exciting day. Things are going to change for the Nintendo fan starting that day.

Today there was a negative news-bit coming from 3d Realms president Scott Miller.  Basically he is giving an industry standard response in how the next generation of systems will sell.  Xbox 360 and PS3 will come out pretty even with control of the video game world and Nintendo's Revolution (which is still a tentative name) coming in at a distant third. This is yet another dismal comment by yet another developer. This echoes another president from an American company that focuses on first person shooters, Epic Game’s president Mark Rein.  

When allot of developers are asked what they think about Revolution, allot of developers automatically dismiss it as nothing but a mere gimmick. They mostly do this because they are already absorbed into the whole Sony, Microsoft scene. Nintendo to them is unimportant, and never will be important. They are doing their thing, and Nintendo is doing theirs. They could care less.

They exist with a skewed perspective.  Allot of companies today started out making games on the PC.  Their original intention was just to make games on the best hardware there was and the most available, which was to their logic the PC. Games on the PC had superior graphics then their console counterparts. Especially, from 1992 till 1995. You see as widely available and powerful as the PC was, console games just outsold their PC counterparts by a long shot.

Why? The problem with he PC is to play the newest best games you have to have the latest hardware. You buy your hardware play a new game, a few months later your computer specs have reached obsolescence and you can't even play any new games. This causes a bottleneck in between the purchasers’ ability to buy a game.  This hurts a PC developer’s wallet.

Then came the Playstation. Sure, consoles are not upgradeable or have all the bells and whistles of a PC, but they have two things going for them.
One, they have a long lifetime. I'm 21. 5 years is 1/4th of my whole life. I barely remember being 5.  5 years is a big fraction of my life.  It's a long time, and that’s the life of a console.
Number two. Price. Consoles are affordable.  (Or at least were)

Playstation had five good things going for it.
One: it had  "good enough” graphics. They were not as good as the N64, but they were pretty close.
Two:  CDs, Developers could be really lazy making their games. They didn't have to optimize, as much as they did on the n64...they didn’t have to save space. Plus they could port PC games over pretty well.
Three: Media, FMVs:  This added bit of multimedia added more story to games.  This gave allot of unknowledgeable gamers the impression that the system had better graphics.
Four: Less content restriction. This wasn’t really as big. In fact Nintendo released all of its restriction by the end of the generation. Still, because Nintendo had colorful Mario, and Sony had angst filled Final Fantasy 7 it made Nintendo look bad.  Add the fact Sega had already played this idea.  Truth is it was more perception than fact.
Five: Sony was fricking rich and aggressive. Sony, spewed its money forth and got exclusives, timed releases. In the 16-bit Era, Nintendo and Sega competed by matching games. IE like cards.  I raise you Donkey Kong, I raise you Vectorman. Sony just decided it would buy all the hot licensing and franchises. Nintendo, who was under the impression they were theirs, lost them.  Goodbye Castlevania, Megaman, Street Fighter, Metal Gear.

All these things appealed to the PC developer and to this day they are of this same skewed mindset. Allot of the reason why they got into the Xbox camp was because Microsoft specifically said they were going to be like Sony, flaunted their money around, and had a cute online plan. As far as Nintendo goes, they were just ignored.  They had a better online strategy then Sony, but didn’t get the online games.  Even EA who is pretty keen on Nintendo ignored their online plan when it in fact would fit perfectly with EA's old vision of their online plan.

So they don’t care, but they will. Allot of the hesitation that developers feel towards Nintendo is ignorance. Only a select few developers and media folk have had a chance to try the Revolution controller. Each one of those people have RAVED about the controller, and its possibilities.  They haven’t had a   chance to play.  This is where E3 comes in two fold.

Last year was a total disappointment.  We got to see what the system looked like, which we could have guessed by some early comments.  No new games, not even for Gamecube (well some, but not heavy hitters). What’s worse was there were some rumors of some new franchises going to be announced, that weren't.  2005 was going to be ending with Zelda, and Gamecube would pretty much die after that not allot of news, it’s as if they were seriously holding back.  Nintendo execs had been quoting that they don’t like showing games until they’re near completion.

Fast forward past Tokyo Gameshow. We all know what happened there. No games are announced, but every gamer goes gaga over the new controller (with of course the usual haters) we still have no games to see; Just some crazy video of some Japanese gamers having some crazy parties with the new system.

Here comes e3.

There are three expectations

Full Revolution unveiling
New franchises taking advantage of the controller
We get to see what the games looks like  "you will say wow"-Iwata
Games from the third parties will be announced.
All at once to provide an even bigger media bang.

Nintendo will again do as it has done in past years and definitely steal the show.

Oh, those ignorant 3rd parties who dismiss Nintendo just for being not Sony and Ms. Maybe after trying the controller out they won't be so ignorant.

Wishful thinking I suppose, but as the mask salesman says,  "have hope"

Oh and they will announce when Zelda TP comes out that GCN’s price will go down.  Effectively selling the system like hotcakes so it eclipses Xbox and puts Nintendo in some positive light among gamers.  A good game that everyone buys can change the opinion of everyone.

Nintendo Gaming / cross your fingers

« on: January 16, 2006, 06:45:19 AM »

I'm  hoping revolution games have a sizable  storage capacity. If  I have to  I would settle for xbox size dvd-9,  but of  course I want even bigger like some proproetary format that only Nintendo uses. As far as  I know  info on this subject is inconclusive and back and forth. Heres  hoping  for a big size.  

Why do I want it? On  gamecube  1.5gb was a  big setback for third parties. Maybe even first parties, would metroid be  even  better  if  there was  more space? I think alot of the high production  value of  some  games  on ps2 and  xbo  that some gamecube games don't  have is because of  this.

the zombies looked perfect on REmake

starfox had great textures
had a good framerate(most of the time)
had beautiful fur, and grass

mario sunshine had kickass water and cool heat hazing effects

eternal darkness had bump-mapping, radiosity lightmaps, ray-traced lightmaps, volumetric fogging, 24-bit color

luigi's mansion had good lighting effects, and good transparencies

star wars looked like star wars

I bet revolution could pull all these things off at the same time

so you graphic whores

Nintendo Gaming / Super Second Parties

« on: December 24, 2005, 04:44:21 PM »

No Rare, No SK? Replace em!

what happened to the super second party?
All gone. I think thats what Nintendo needs. Rather,  I think Retro and NST(which are actually first parties) should be beefed up to where they are producing a higher volume of games. NST should have its quality brought up by constant bitching from the parent company, and retro should make more than just metroid(hire more people)

sony and ms actually have way better second/first party support. With the likes of Bungie for ms, and naughtydogg and whoever makes all their pretty good platformers.


Nintendo needs to fill this gap.

Rare used to fill it with bk and 007/pd...but they are gone now

actually in a way its more of a lack in western titles thats the problem.
