Wii U
Kaylx has more thoughts and ideas and he'd rather not clog the VG news thread.

I've got a great idea: Wait until it's officialy announced so you don't dissapoint yourself.
|
For crazy speculation I mean, not thread based fact reporting.

Complete copy and paste job from that rip off thread ( :shifty: )

Yeah so... We're all totally getting this, right?

I can't wait to look at this thread in five year and feel the way I do today about the Nintendo Revolution

To be honest, 3rd party support better be exclusive games - no ports. I'll just get the game for XB360 anyway. I want interesting games, and of course Nintendo classics.
Hard Corps and Moon Diver would be great on this thing, though; offline co-op where we can split off into our own adventures. And if ever a time for a Zombies Ate My Neighbors HD revival... |
Well if its true about Microsoft and Sony waiting till 2014, then Nintendo has at least 2 years of guaranteed 3rd party support but everyone is assuming all it means is all the PS3/Xbox 360 games are being ported over to the new Nintendo.
Nintendo did sign an exclusive agreement with Rockstar for at least 1-2 games (GTA V might be one) and with Kojima/Konami for another 1-2 games. It also helps that Nintendo is starting to stock up on more studios as insurance if 3rd party studios decide to neglect them again. |
IGN has an article wonders if the new Zelda should be up-ported to Cafe. And I'm thinking, "Why? So you guys could bitch about how it's a port that doesn't take advantage of the new console?" Getting tired of IGN's shit.

Oh, noes, one person's opinion means it's the whole site's opinion.
It's an opinion editorial, who gives a fuck. |
can't wait till e3...

I loves me new consoles, don't get me wrong. But the tech only goes so far without actual games.
The Kinect is still probably the coolest technology on the market, but there's absolutely jack for it right now. Until games start getting announced for a new console/add on, I try my bestest to temper expectations. That being said...it does look pretty awesome. |

It could still have some sort of exclusive content but I doubt Rockstar is going to do episodes or add Mario/Luigi in the game as Easter eggs. |

Will Nintendo launch in November with a smaller number of units to artificially hype up demand and make it the must buy item for Christmas OR WAIT TIL AFTER CHRISTMAS and launch with a larger number of units and more software when no ones gonna give a rats ass about it..? If you pick option B you are a fucking moron I personally hope they come up with a better name than "Stream". Id fucking call it the UNES with the U standing for ULTRA since this sounds like the first time they're actually going to do right with the console hardware since the fucking SNES. Just forget the N64/Gamecube/Wii ever existed, sort of like a reboot of the Nintendo Franchise after 3 lousy sequels. I remember the Nintendo 64 was originally going to be called the Ultra 64.. |
Forget the 64 ever existed? Yeah, OK

If you dont look back with such rose colored nintendo fanboy glasses, you'd realize that the N64 was garbage. The games cost MORE at the time than the PS games and they looked like garbage back then compared to PS and some Saturn games. Also the N64 was the start of the whole "No third party support" problem thats plagued Nintendo for the last 15 years. Just about every good N64 game you can think of was either Nintendo or RARE which was effectively Nintendo first at the time, 14 of the top 25 N64 games according to IGN are all Nintendo/Rare including the entire top 7, with the other 11 being crap like Madden/ASB/Tony Hawk ports from the PS. This has pretty much been the case with the Gamecube/Wii too.
The pinacle point of how to explain this is to remember playing Killer Instinct in the Arcades and seeing the ULTRA 64 logo pop up and think this is what games will look like on the next Nintendo console, only to end up with a crappy version of Killer Instict Gold actually making it to the N64, not to mention the horrid SNES version of the first that made it out (which I actually fucking bought..and even more pissed I lost the Killer Kuts Soundtrack CD that came with it) Edit: I totally forgot about Blast Corps, but since it was RARE we'll never get a sequel/remake..damnit |
So because the games cost more and the graphics weren't PS level the system was garbage and should be forgotten about completely? Are you serious? And wtf does it matter who makes the games? Nintendo's games aren't always perfect, but 90% of the time they're better than the shit obscure little 3rd party companies put out anyway. And your "pinnacle point" is a shit port? You can't be serious. That's RARE's fault, not the 64s.
Learn to play games for the fucking fun factor instead of how it looks. |
PS3 should be trashed completely because it's expensive and a lot of its games are watered down 360 ports. We should completely disregard the franchises born on it like LittleBigPlanet and Resistance and focus solely on a few bad things
|
Droford where's this animosity coming from?
|
he was molested as a child
|
By fucking Mario?
|
The most annoying thing about Drofords argument is that the N64; bar some crazy fog issues, had better 3D graphics than either the PS1 or the Saturn. Hell, I loved my Saturn, but especially the Saturn.
|
The N64 had better 3D graphics, but PS1 looked more polished as a whole. They had FMV sequences and stuff. I just remember the Saturn having digitized graphics which I could never tell if they were good or not. Like it looked as if there were two real people fighting against each other in a fighting game but for some reason it didn't look right.

I got to play a Saturn once. Out of all my friends who played video game back then, only 1 person had one and he was hardly ever free to come hang out.
|
Yeah I also knew one kid who had one. Rarely went to his house, but did play some Daytona and Time Crisis.
|
Saturn was alright. Guardian Heroes was the shit. And arcade perfect Capcom fighters, though some had to be imported, were very cool.
And like hell the PS1 was more polished than N64. That was the console of that era. PS1 didn't show it's chops until their 3rd generation games, that's also when Nintendo started doing weird shit that didn't pan out. Sony got their shit together with the PS2, and Nintendo damn-there lost their minds with Gamecube. Microsoft threw their cards in at the time, and Sega had to bow out because Sony trumped them hard (it's been my personal belief that Sega never quite knew how to do the console thing). |
