Vesperia (PS3) will never be licensed outside of Japan due to a contract with Microsoft.
There is no such reason to keep Xenoblade out, and many reasons to publish it over here. It's really unfathomable.
They can handle direct competition just fine.
Right now, the biggest obstacles to the 3DS are indirect competition--platforms that don't exist yet, and platforms from the last generation.
I never said it was a bad thing. If you'll look at my profile to see it, I've said (many times) that it's a very good thing.
But it's still a move that reeks of desparation. A $70 price cut months of release, giving away 20 free games to consumers, all accompanied by poor sales, poor consumer reception, decreasing 3rd party support, and increasingly negative media.
At this point, if you don't think Nintendo is getting desparate, in spite o...
I'm always amazed at how much denial certain people are capable of maintaining.
Honestly, the tenacity of some of these Nintendo fanboys is... well, I'd be envious if it weren't so annoying.
The Wii should have come with a Wiimote with sufficient buttons to play SNES and N64 games. The Nunchuck should have been wireless. Bluetooth instead of IR. Wiimote should be designed to play NGC games, too.
And rechargable internal batteries.
The 360 controller just needed to have rechargeable batteries.
The PS3's controller/acessories out of the box are flawless (now).
None of the games announced for the Vita interest me at all. I have a PS3 for those games, you know!
But I'll probably grab one anyway just for the chance to download some PSP/PS1 games to it from the PSN, which I can't do with my PSP2000 for... obvious reasons.
Hopefully, the PSV (I hate this abreviation, BTW, this is the same as ps3 save file extensions!) will get some of those Battle games from Bandai (Gundam/Macross) and a new Project Diva. That w...
Duke Nukem has always been garbage.
That this new game would also be garbage should come as no surprise to anyone. I'm sure the same idiot 11-year-old-boys that loved the first game love the new one, too.
Yes, the failure of the 3DS is due to many factors... but at the moment, the chief factors responsible are price and library.
As a general rule of thumb, a handheld should NEVER cost more than a console of the same generation. That's simply never going to work.
In terms of games, the 3DS is awful. The best game on the system is a port: it currently has hardly any first-party support, and even less third-party support. The reason for the success of the DS ...
I can't see Spooks making a decent transition into gaming.
Did the BBC have much of a hand in the Doctor Who adventure games? Those were... pretty bad.
Games based on Sherlock would be similarly awful, if only because the show is so incredible. Speaking of which, when are the next 3 episodes coming?
...PS3 tag, why?
Yeah, Grandia is a great game... but it's also more than a decade--and, more importantly, two generations--old.
Well, I guess I oughtn't complain: at the very least, this may put Grandia on some gamers' radar, which is always a good thing.
That score is unwarranted.
It's clearly inflated by at least a factor of 20.
Instead of focusing on the sale of games, maybe they should focus on, you know, the sale of firearms and ammunition?
There's absolutely no justification for the sale of firearms to the public.
CEOs... high ranking executives... taking salary cuts?
CULTURE SHOCK!
Maybe... but only with casual gamers. When discussing platforms and games, the casual crowd really doesn't matter for anything outside of Wii shovelware or FPS of the Week titles.
PS Vita doesn't exactly have the best looking line-up of games, either. Hell, the only games (announced) for it that I'd be at all interested in playing... I already can on my PS3.
Awful review.
"It's certainly not awful, but too many aspects of Catherine felt like they were actively trying to push me away. More variety in the gameplay would have helped, as would more meaningful interactions with the game's cast."
Crap like this takes up space, and you look at it and there are words, but it doesn't actually SAY anything. This is the equivalent of a random fop on a forum saying, "it sucks," and not justify...
So, basically, NoA is giving a giant "fuck you" to everyone who already bought the system.
...Goddammit. I'm done. NoA, you're the king of all jackasses. I'm swearing off Nintendo forever. Wii U? Kid Icarus: no, Nintendo, now it's my turn: Fuck You.
No, I'm not.
Sales numbers are completely irrelevant. Yes, a good portion of those are from fanboys: more still are from casual gamers, or gamers who don't think, or gamers who buy ignorant.
It could have sold 2 copies or 2 million and my argument would still be the same, and still be valid. The sad fact of the matter is that NSMB Wii sold well because the vast majority of gamers simply do not bother to do ANY research. Gamers are among the, if not TH...
^--That's an idiotic argument and you know it.
On the 360, you can play any Xbox game with the 360 controller.
On the PS3, you can play any PS2 or PS1 game with the PS3 controller.
For the Wii, you have to buy a special wii controller (which is pointlessly wired into the Wiimote) to play SNES or N64 games, and you have to buy a corded Gamecube controller to play NGC games.
Or you can spend even MORE money on a Wavebird, ...
lol, what?
Did you somehow miss the Playsation or Playstation 2 generations?
