The official presentation of the output indicators (financial results) Nintendo Wii has brought news about the U. According to the conference coordinated by Satoru Iwata, the controller of the video game will feature support for near-field communications - or near-field communication (NFC) - a system of data exchange and wireless connections between two devices.
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.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆
But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.
Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.
Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
Debuting in Season 9, all players can try a beta of The Crew Motorfest’s new ambitious track creator, TrackForge.
Wii-U controller will be about 200$ for a replacement.
Hope no one rages and throws their controller in Ninja gaiden 3 lmao
and ofcourse im making that number up, but if a ps3 controller is 55, then the wii u controller is definatly at LEAST 100 bucks
is it just me or is this sounding more and more like the Vita/PS3 combo every day? another feature that the Vita already has. remote play (check), virtual window (check), communication between devices (check). i see absolutely nothing yet than differentiates it from the Vita/PS3 combo.
this is worth considering, please don't just assume it's said out of bitterness or fanboyism. i want Nintendo and Sony to drive the next gen. i know they'll be lots of 'first day', 'i want' and 'must have' but it took me three years before i bought a PS3 because i'm not that easily lead
I don't get the need for NFC in a controller. NFC is used for very small amounts of data transmitted over distances of typically a few centimeters or less.
So all I can think of is something like NFC tags embedded in toys, cards etc. that would be scanned and cause something to appear/happen in game.
