1UP: When news first began to leak of Nintendo's next-generation console, currently known as Project Café, an anonymous querent asked me (via Formspring) if I thought the system's rumored move to high-definition graphics and processing power as good as (or even better than) Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 was indicative of Nintendo giving up on its "Blue Ocean" strategy and admitting that its strategy of catering to a mainstream audience beyond the traditional gamer has been a bust. It's an interesting question, but it presumes a few things that strike me as fallacies: One, that Nintendo's current business model is a bust; and two, that Nintendo's abandoning it.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Nice article. I used to be a Nintendo fan until the Wii came out. While it was the first system that I purchased, I quickly bought an Xbox 360 until it had the RROD. After a couple of years, I bought an HDTV so I decided I wanted to watch blu ray movies, and I picked up a Playstation 3.
I think that all consoles offer a different type of gaming experience, and honestly if Nintendo doesn't deliver on their next console, it won't matter too much as I am fine with my Playstation 3. If I get bored of my PS3 (like if PSN never comes back online) I will get an Xbox over the next Wii.
Im getting a STREAM HD easy its going to be my only console does it fit Nintendo's stategy well did it fit Sonys before PS3 not really so yeah its up to the company if they want to do it going off STREAM HD specs its defo next-gen.

I kinda doubt ps4 & 720 gpus will match a gtx 590 or Amd 6990.. But I could be wrong! unless they come out at least 2 or 3 years from now.
We'll find out when soccer moms buy it.
Or not...
Nintendo gets my money and always deliver classic gaming. They can make bonafide all time classics on a Game Boy. Their gameplay and creativity is second to none and I can only imagine what this next machine will deliver.
