develop: "Nintendo axed a number Wii U demos at E3 due to concerns that they would fail to impress, a new report suggests."
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.
They chose to show Xbox 360 and PS3 games rather than demos of games on the actual system? Not a good sign!
that is why i am not impressed because all seen were tech demos and PS3/360 footage
(If any of you would actually read/do some research)
Nintendo pulled the demos because they felt that they weren't at the point of graphical fidelity to show them off. the games looked like 360/PS3 games at that time so Nintendo decided not to show them.
Basically, the games didn't show how strong the hardware is, so they decided not to show them altogether.
Some reports stated that the devkits shipped to devs were underclocked, and that's the reason the demos were unimpressive.
You don't want to display a side-by-side with an existing game series if you can't compare to games already out, in that series. Hopefully, for Nintendo, the end results will be better.
And a new generation of gamers is about to get a disappointing lesson in vaporware...
