IGN - It's the most mysterious time of the year. The months leading up to E3 are shrouded in secrecy as companies hold their cards close, waiting for the annual show in L.A. to start to reveal their latest projects.
Nintendo, too, has traditionally been the most secretive of all. And as rumors of a new Wii successor arrive alongside a smattering of official announcements from inside the Big N, we can't help but wonder just what's really going on right now behind those closed doors. What's in the works? What can we expect to see at this year's E3 that, currently, the people working on can't even tell their spouses about?
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
New Chrono Trigger Form-ism figures of Crono and Marle have been showcased at a Square Enix pop-up store, with pre-orders expected soon.
A big Robot that can crush Sony and Microsoft :D
jk
even if they announce a new system, imma wait 1 year before i buy it. i barely play my wii now as it is, and the only games i look forward to are zelda, and mario.
these are the only 1st party games i actually care about from nintendo, and since they are always slow to release their games ill just wait till both are released before buying their new system.
It's pretty ridiculous. I know the nintendo fanboys always say who gives a crap about the "oh, my wii is collecting dust" statement. But really, my wii IS collecting dust. It's pretty pathetic. Last year we got a few, and when I mean a few I really mean maybe 2 or 3 GOOD Wii games. The rest were simply okay, or shovelware.
Honestly, how can nintendo be satisfied with this? If I buy a $200+ system I expect a vast library with 100's of titles to choose from. Not 20 or 30. Hell, if you look on gamefly you can see that the ps2 has nearly 2,000 games. While the Wii has 300, and most of that is composed of shovelware.
Really, where's the support? Gamers want games. Not trashy shovelware. We don't want just a few good titles a year. We wants TONS of good titles a year. I mean the only Wii title that is even SEMI note worthy that's being released soon is Conduit 2, and that's IT (till Zelda at least). It's pathetic, and anyone who tries to justify this is either a gigantic fanboy, or is clinically insane...0.o
I wanna see a retro take on starfox!
