RE5 bombed compared to what it would have done if it were a Wii exclusive.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Should Luigi's Mansion 2 be an M-rated Survival Horror game?
« on: April 15, 2009, 10:34:50 AM »Mature platformer sounds like an oxymoron. A bloody, gritty realistic game about a guy jumping extremely high and squshing enemies underfoot? W. T. F.
What if there were blood and gore every time he stomped? And what if the enemies didn't disappear once stomped, but later on you might come back to that area and the enemies would reanimate themselves as ghouls.

« on: April 14, 2009, 01:57:28 PM »Luigi's Mansion 2 should simply be titled Luigi's Mansions. It should heavily feature the Poltergust 9000, which can transform from a vacuum into a go kart, jet pack, or enormous mecha. Luigi will have to fight the crazed ghosts of all of his friends, including Peach and Mario, to force them back into their bodies. Putting them back will require completing a CPR minigame. Luigi will also regularly run across an overly friendly ghost dog who will lick his face, sliming him, whenever they meet. Over the game, Luigi will go from fearing the dog to being annoyed, to finally starting to like him and giving him treats. In the end, the dog will be turned into a horrible demon, and Luigi will have to put it down, Ol' Yeller style. The traumatic experience will leave Luigi scarred for life, and instead of being cowardly, all future appearances of Luigi in Mario games will depict him as an amoral killer. In fact, he'll off Bowser for good and become the bad guy for all future Mario games. Instead of kidnapping princesses, his motivation will be to bulldoze the Mushroom Kingdom and build more mansions.
I always assumed that if Luigi ever did snap and become evil it would be because of his brother hogging all the attention.
But I don't want Luigi to be evil.

My favorite video game documentary is probably "Wizard" with Fred Savage. It recounts the true story of an autistic kid who manages to become the best video game player in the world, and at the end it unveils the Super Mario Bros. 3 game for the very first time.

Woo, party time in Redmond! All those JRPG moneyhats paid off.
Not really. They still have less than 1/3rd as many sold as their nearest competitor despite their one year head start.... it took them 3 years just to sell 1 million consoles? That's pathetic, if you ask me...

« on: April 09, 2009, 05:08:04 PM »I know there are those who think Nintendo should be handing out money hats for third party games...
...but isn't that the exact thing we criticized MicroSoft and Sony for doing the last two generations?
I don't know if you noticed or not, but third party support on Nintendo consoles has been seriously lacking ever since the SNES era. If Nintendo starts handing out money hats, that would only help to balance things out a little. Because right now Sony and MS are getting all the 3rd party love, and this sucks for us who are missing out on Street Fighter IV and RE5 and Godfather II and so forth.
Its a sad thing if Nintendo has to bribe companies just to give their console the same support the other consoles receive automatically, but if that is the ONLY way to get those games....

God, I hope so. Nintendo now has the money to bribe support their way for a change. It would be a mistake to have made all this money and then squander it by not beefing things up.

General Gaming / Re: Sony getting hit Hard lately
« on: April 06, 2009, 12:18:23 PM »It's a rather feeble attempt, and indicative of the kind of crap Sega pulled back in the day. And we all know how THAT turned out, right? It's not to say the PSP itself hasn't made inroads, but considering the rather paltry lineup in that little presser (Hannah Montana? Really?) it definitely seems like they are grasping at straws to stay relevant software-wise.
One thing that you shouldn't do when criticizing another company's lineup as "kiddie" is trumpet a Hannah Montana game coming to your system as if that makes you "hardcore" or something.
Well, then again, Miley Cyrus does drink booze and dress mature and provacatively, so maybe he does have a point.

The GB's pack in of Tetris trumped the Gamegear's pack in of Sonic 2. Tetris appeals to all audiences, regardless of age or gender. It was definitely the Brain age of its day.

And how successful would it have been if it DIDN'T? Tetris was what put the GB ahead of early rivals like the Lynx and Gamegear. The GB had the disadvantage of lacking a color display, but it made up for that with its long battery life... but long battery alone wouldn't have made the difference. Tetris was that killer app that made the difference up until Pokemon.

Where is the petition we sign to get this released in NA? Don't just assume this is going to come here, because many excellent games never did. The sooner we start pestering Nintendo about this the sooner something might get done.

There is always a very real possibility Nintendo will update the browser in the future at some point. However, if they do it would probably be as a patch and not as a 2.0. Flash 9 and PDF support are two things they could and should add via a patch.

That is well and good, but it would be nice if there were a way you could disable those warnings. I've already viewed/read them so there's no point in me being harassed by them every time I want to load up a quick game.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: What 3rd party games should make their way to the Wii?
« on: March 28, 2009, 04:35:03 PM »
The way you can avoid button confusion is to have the buttons shaped and/or sized differently. This was one thing I really loved about the GC controller, and I'm glad to see Nintendo carried this concept over to the Wiimote, but they really need about 4 more buttons so that the wiimote would at least be compatible with SNES games on the VC. Had they done that, then with the combination of the nunchuck virtually every game would be mappable to the controls.
As for these additional buttons, Nintendo could have made them stand apart from one another by giving them strange shapes like rectangles and triangles and so on, and perhaps made their size different as well. It also would have helped to have them in bright contrasting colors, maybe even have them light up with an led or something for easy viewing in a dark room. Had they done this then there would be far less chance of confusion and at the same time there would have been no need for the classic controller at all.

Yeah, that very well could be, but knowing Nintendo this probably is how it will be. After all, Nintendo is the company that forces us to view a safety warning message EACH AND EVERY single time we start the console up and then again when we start a game. I know these messages aren't up for long, but they are damn annoying, and having to put up with them all the time pisses me off. But anyway, Nintendo seems to be very obsessed with safety (probably to avoid getting sued when people get hurt for swinging their remotes around like mad), so forcing consumers to have a protective skin on their controllers seems like something they would do.
What would suck about this for me is I already spent a good deal of money buying colored silicon skins for my controllers, aand those will be a waste if I have to get another new skin with M+ embedded in it.
