Nintendo Gaming / Re: Wii U
« on: June 06, 2012, 07:54:43 AM »
Should we all hope that the Wii U is a commercial flop so that Nintendo will be forced to do things right with their next console?

« on: June 06, 2012, 03:24:27 AM »LOL @ the people who thought MS and Sony would announce new systems this year.
The smart thing would have been if Nintendo hadn't announced the Wii U at E3 2011, and instead saved everything and then combined it all for this year's E3. I know their 2011 presentation was disappointing and so was their presentation this year, but if they took everything from last year and saved it and combined it with this year's E3 then they might have had something halfway decent, but instead of doing that Nintendo blew their load prematurely and so they didn't have much to wow anyone with this year.

TalkBack / Re: Mass Effect 3 Announced for Wii U
« on: June 06, 2012, 02:07:14 AM »
A better choice might have been Battlefield 3. This would be especially true if Black Ops 2 isn't coming, because then BF3 would have no competition in that area. There were rumors a long time ago that Battlefield 3 would come to the Wii U, but EA didn't say anything, so I guess those rumors were fake....
What is really disappointing is Mass Effect 3 is the ONLY game EA has announced. Where's Madden? Where's BF3? Where's all that other crap they own? All the Wii U gets from them is one game and that's it?

« on: June 06, 2012, 02:04:24 AM »
From the specs we now know of the Wii U what can we infer from its power and how well it stacks up to the PS360? We know absolutely nothing about what the PS420 will be, but it would be nice to at least be able to put to rest once and for all that rumor that the Wii U was merely equal to or even weaker than the PS360.

The only COD game that never came to the Wii within its lifetime was MW2. Every other game from COD3 to the most recent MW3 has come to the Wii, so COD is one franchise we Nintendo fans shouldn't feel too neglected on.
However, with that being said it is disappointing there hasn't yet been any COD game for the 3DS...

« on: June 06, 2012, 12:20:30 AM »That proves it's old info from last year.
Not necessarily. "Cafe" is the development name, just as "Revolution" was the dev name for the Wii, and "Dolphin" was for the Gamecube. Since this document was probably intended for developers eyes only, it actually adds more weight to this being the real deal because if someone were to hoax this they would probably put "Wii U" even though that's not the name used by the development team.
Nobody calls it "Cafe" anymore. And that was never an actual codename for the system, it was just a rumor.
It wasn't a rumor, it was the codename.

« on: June 05, 2012, 10:47:13 PM »Unless you want to transfer everything on your current HDD over to the new one though. Creating a backup requires an external HDD and the backup process takes FOREVER. My suggestion is you put any saves and pictures and music you have that you want to keep onto a usb thumbdrive. Then switch the HDDs, then put all that stuff back on afterwards and just redownload all the games again. It'll probably be faster.My only gripe about PS+ is my current HD is the low 20GB modelAt least from what I've heard its really simple to swap the harddrives.. Really should upgrade to 500GB+ drive because Sony's giving weekly Freebies all the time.
It is. The only tool you need is a screwdriver and about 5 minutes of your time. There are plenty of video tutorials you can find on youtube to show you how to perform the procedure.
Or if you have PS Plus you can upload all your saves online. Yes, it would suck to redownload all your stuff, but considering his harddrive is only 20gb (that's what he said) he can't really have too much on there anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

« on: June 05, 2012, 05:55:10 PM »It would be nice if we got NSMBU as a pack-in instead though, but then it wouldn't sell 500 billion copies on it's own.
Eventually there will probably be a SKU with that as a pack in, because they did do that with NSMB and the Wii.
Thinking more about third party support, what the Wii U should be getting is whatever big games are going to the PS360 for THIS Christmas. Not some one year old stuff but specifically what is in the pipeline for the Christmas season. REAL third party support would mean getting the same stuff at the same time. I don't give a **** about Black Ops II but it SHOULD be there. Yeah, the Wii U is a new system but Activision SHOULD have gotten the devs kits in time to do it.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a title that follows that line. That's a new game. It isn't some old ass port. At least we know Namco is treating the Wii U right.
Plus there's Darksiders II. That's brand new and coming to the Wii U this year.
That said, I'm holding out hope that there's a lot more that just hasn't been announced yet. Black Ops 2 does seem like it would be obvious, yet it hasn't been announced. Maybe E3 isn't everything, and there are still many more announcements to come between now and the system launches? There had better be more, becuase if all there is is what we've seen at E3 then that would really suck.

Nintendo has definitely changed, because the leadership has changed. Iwata and Reggie are now running the company, when back in the 80s and 90s it was Yamauchi and Howard Lincoln. When the country elects a new president the government of that country changes, maybe the country itself is still the same, but the government and the direction that government is steering things is undeniably different.
You can't say the way Nintendo is being run right now is the way Yamauchi would do it. Maybe Iwata's way is better at least in terms of printing money, and maybe if Yamauchi never stepped down then the company would eventually cease to exist... Maybe. I'm just saying the direction has definitely changed. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is entirely a matter of opinion, but the change of leadership and direction of the company starting around 2004 is an absolute fact and indisputable.

Doesn't the exclusive publishing deal Microsoft has over Mass Effect 1 expire at some point? Maybe it already has expired, or will expire soon... and if that's the case EA could do a "Mass Effect Trilogy" and have all three games on one disc. This would make perfect sense on the Wii U.
I can't imagine that exclusive publishing deal being permanent. Does anyone know if its permanent or not, and if not when it expires?

« on: June 05, 2012, 04:56:31 PM »And if you want to talk about it, I'm not yet comfortable that the third party support will be all that hot. Looks better than the Wii but not yet any better than the Cube (which still missed out on a LOT of "every system but Nintendo" releases).
Actually, its looking a lot like the Wii right now. Remember, when the Wii launched it did get a good amount of multiplatform support, but this support was things like RE4 which were last gen titles. So the Wii U is getting Arkham City and Mass Effect 3? Well, yeah that's multiplatform support, but again the PS360 are last gen (relative to the Wii U) consoles.
The question is will that multiplatform support be there when the PS420 hits, or will the Wii U only get PS360 ports until that well runs dry? It all depends on how powerful the system is relative to the competition. If the PS420 is so far ahead in terms of power that it utterly smokes the Wii U, then we're screwed and it will be like the Wii all over again.
PS360 games will still be made for a few more years, so if the Wii U is only powerful enough to receive ports from those systems then there should be a few years of multiplatform support. But eventually, just as PS2/XBOX development came to an end, so too will PS360 development as developers migrate to the 420. Where does that leave the Wii U? As we've seen with the Wii, even a console with overwhelming market share can't overcome this obstacle.

« on: June 05, 2012, 04:30:22 PM »Between the ending controversy and the lack of Mass Effects 1 or 2 on the Wii U (that we know of), I don't see any reason why anyone should buy this version of the game. If you don't have a PS3 or 360, get the PC versions of the trilogy. If you don't have a powerful-enough gaming PC...get a better one. Seriously, this is like starting the Star Wars trilogy with Return of the Jedi or your favorite serialized TV series with the last episode.
And no, if Mass Effect 2 PS3's terrible "interactive comic" is any indication, EA is not likely to make a recap for ME3 that would be an appropriate substitute for the actual Mass Effects 1 and 2.
Didn't you say this wasn't going to happen? I remember saying it should, but you said it wouldn't.... well it looks like it is.

« on: June 05, 2012, 12:10:32 AM »Battalion Wars. The one thing that's always held it back is the clunky interface, but the screen would fix that and be a perfect way to command the troops.
I wouldn't really consider that a dormant franchise since it did appear on the Wii, so it hasn't been that long since the last one.
As far as old dormant franchises which could come back, how about Super Scope 6? To be honest I wasn't too impressed with that or the Super Scope peripheral in general, but those minigames like Blastris and Lazer Blazer could work well with the new controls.
