1-UP *SMB MIDI Chime*

(I only add Metroid Wii U Needs- Samus. In fact I would settle for a game with Samus that goes beyond the Metroid years).

" *SMB MIDI Chime*"

It's not exactly MIDI. MIDI is an interface. SNES files were more close to trackers.

Just pointing it out.

A writer/director/producer that isn't Sakamoto?

Erimgard5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

Shigeru Miyamoto was a producer on Metroid Prime and Kensuke Tanabe, who has long been one of Miyamoto's right hand men, produced the second and third Prime titles.

PopRocks3595029d ago

I'm aware of that lol. I was taking a jab at Other M which was written/produced/directed by Sakamoto. Ironically he's been a regular on the franchise yet somehow royally fucked up that game's story and crippled its gameplay mechanics.

I should note, I don't blame Team Ninja for it. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing them work on another Nintendo game.

Erimgard5029d ago

Team Ninja actually went out of their way to make note of the fact that they had nothing to do with Other M's story. I don't believe it was a terrible game, but it certainly had more than its fair share of flaws, and very little of its story was original. It was like a less effective rehash of Fusion.

side scrolling, return to roots, in 1080p, 4x anti aliasing, 60 frames per second

i'd buy that for a dollar, or 60 actually

AO1JMM5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

That would be AWESOME!!!! I would buy that on day 1. Bubble for you as well good sir. LOL

guitarded775029d ago

The reason I'm buying a Wii U is for Metroid and Zelda... I'll play my third party games where my friends are, but the Wii U is for Nintendo exclusives.

I want Metroid U to be third person... it's just better for platforming.

I want some creative online mp or co-op

I want beautiful/diverse environments

I want a dark and mature Metroid. Not cussing or anything, just a heavy feel

I want an HD collection of Metroid prime games

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi69d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer69d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot69d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno69d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay69d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno68d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK68d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
