MasonicGamer.com - Nintendo Land was the climax of the Big N’s E3 press conference, and they put a lot of focus on it. It takes many classic Nintendo franchises and turns them into minigames, showcasing the many uses of the new GamePad. One example is Takamaru’s Ninja Castle, in which you throw ninja stars from the touchscreen at the comical enemies on your television, twisting your hands to angle the shurikens appropriately. It may sound silly, but it plays an important part in the acceptance of the new system.
Nintendo needs people to believe in the potential of the Wii U. The fact that their share prices dropped dramatically after the initial announcement of the system shows that the public is unsure how this console will turn out. Sure, having some popular, current-gen titles with new touchscreen functionality is cool, but why but a whole new system just for that?
Nintendo will be shutting down the eShop for the 3DS and Wii U completely in 2023. Makes sure to check out these games before they do.
If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.
Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.
This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!
Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.
Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?
There has been.
A lot of it.
Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.
Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.
I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?
N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.
Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.
If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.
It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.
You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.
This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Xbox Snap, Game Boy Micro… we miss them all.
The Wii U had a bunch of great games that a lot of people didn't get a chance to play, so here are the Wii U ports gamers would like to see come to Switch.
I just replayed Super Mario 3D world and loved every minute of it. I really like how it looks and it is great fun to play, it surely has to be a strong candidate for a Switch remaster although, personally, I would love a Galaxy 1&2 remaster more than anything else
Covers eye's with one hand while holding out a crucifix in the other "Keep back, foul beast"!
I think its a great way for them to showcase to other developers what they can do with games, while also making it popular among gamers, which if succesful will persuade developers to do games in the concept of "asymetrical gameplay"
I just wish this wasn't their big focus at E3. Pikmin 3 deserved way more time on the floor.
they should be ashamed of themselves.. The entire conference was a damn joke.. Children werent going to attend the show so why show ppl disney land?
The game actually looks good. But that's not the problem.
Nintendo needed to show certain things and give more focus to other aspects than they delivered, and instead they put focus on a minigame collection one hopes will be free with the console, a bunch of music games(they are important in some ways and have a place, but not here) and a port of a year old game.
Why not show Project p-100 instead of that Luigis mansion themed mini game? Give on stage details about Scribblenauts INSTEAD of Batman? More on stage info about ZombiU instead of a cgi trailer and a dancing game we already know about?
They had the content, but they showed the wrong content. Gave focus to what should have been quietly announced and quietly announced what should have been Focused.
I don't have a problem with Nintendo Land. I have a problem Mr. Iwata's BS apologies, and promises to bring the hardcore goods.
He makes that claim, and depends solely on 3rd parties to deliver on HIS promise. If Ubisoft wouldn't have came through then Nintendo would have been utterly screwed... and everyone on here knows it.
