No it was the official name of the American console, and the Japanese was originally called Nintendo 64, once the legal issues came up, Nintendo was forced to change the American name and just decided to make the name universal for all regions to avoid confusion. Luckily this happened before in launced in America.Confusion used to happen all the time with the NES/Famicom and SNES/Super Famicom so they just said keep it the same everywhere. And since then, they have kept it that way in all reg...
Seriously gamers complain about everything these days that's for one thing. Second, the cicrle pro does in fact add extra buttons and features which actually do benefit the system, unlike this add on that just makes the system even bigger than what it is......to just add grips and bigger shoulder buttons? And considering the cicrle pad is 20 bucks and this is 15 there is deff a value difference of somethings that adds function to something that is obviously just a cash in. Should Nintendo...
I wouldn't say that Nintendos online had no structure, I would say it was structured poorly though. The DS and Wii had an online structure called Nintendo WiFi. But it was implemented very poorly. Friend codes per game was the wrong move for starters, but Nintendos reasoning was for childrens safety online. I don't agree Nintendo should have forced that on everyone, but it is what it is. Next, some third parties received special treatment around this,examples being Monster Hunter Tri,...
Hmmmm a lot of 3DS haters were talking a lot of smack about the 3DS Circle pad pro add on....I wonder how they are going to feel about this ???
LOL didit really just say only on Vita????? I could have swore my 3DS has had this capability for almost a year !!!
The vgcharts are not 100 percent accurate but they are weekly estimates......they are not that far off from the actual numbers. So many people say will they are made up, but realistically they aren't that far off base. You can never have 100 percent accurate numbers excpet when the parent company (Nintendo,Sony, MS) release there figures and even then they are still off because sales continue after they announce their numbers. Does it truly matter if one week your fav system is off by 40,...
Still say its a major fail that the didn't port the Wii version to America !!
They cannot use Ultra people......they tried that once before, doesn't anyone remember the Nintendo 64......it was originally the Nintendo Ultra 64. They had to change the name due to copyrights that a gas company had in America...the gasoline was like Ultra 94 or something. So they decided it would just be easier to have all countries use the Japanese name for the system. That is why it was called Nintendo 64 everywhere. If it wasnt for legal issues, we would have had Nintendo Ultra 64 i...
Interesting.... Nintendo changes their network name last week from Nintendo WiFi to Nintendo Network and now Sony changes theirs from Play Station Network(PSN) to Sony Entertainment Network (SEN)
I guess at the end of the article they hadn't heard about the Nintendo Network yet...... I guess will see what Nintendo has in store for online at E3.
Wii 2
Wii HD
Super Wii
Nintendo 7 (N7)
Nintendo Next
Wii Plus
Wii Tab
Wii Core
NN (Nintendo Network) after their new online service
Nexgen
Your so dillusional....the 3DS is for kids and soccer moms??? Monster Hunter Tri G,Monster Hunter 4, Metal Gear Solid 3, Resident Evil Revelations, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Heros of Ruin, Tales of the Abyss, Kid Icarus would all like to introduce you to a core gamer system. I don't think any soccer moms will be buying those games and they are not focused for little kids either. The 3DS is doing well because its doing the exact opposite. It isn't just focusing on kids or moms. It has plenty ...
Well this is a very lopsided argument.... but is is the authors opinion. He just seems to be too pesimistic instead of optimistic. Instead of looking at the good things and praising them, he looks for all the things Nintendo hasn't mentioned. Ubisoft already said at E3 there are no friend codes. You have your own individual account per person, you can makes groups, its a totally new Newtowrk compared to Nintendo WIFI etc. Nintendo still has more to say about it at this E3. Saying that voi...
This is deff a waste of an article based on one person really weird opinion on the situation. If anything, this might cause people to want to learn more about the Chinese calender. I don't see this as being a bad thing at all just because a game company links games with the year of the Dragon.
This article is a major FAIL........ you take Nintendos briefing...chop up certain segments of it, add in some troll flame bait, a little bias and bam you get this whole article. The whole Nintendo interview was explaing the diff between certain games needing full graphics support while others did not. They never once said they won't compete graphically with the other next gen consoles. They were refering to their in house developers and the content they will be producing. Every game made...
I have to disagree with you saying Nintendo is lacking new IP's.
1. Disaster Day of Crisis
2. Xenoblade
3. The Last Story
4. Pandoras Tower
5. Wii-Sport/Resort
6. Wii Fit/Plus
7. Wii Music
8. Excite Trucks
9. Excite Botz
10. Wii Chess
11. Regienliev
12. Trace Memory
13. Wii Party
14. Captain Rainbow
That's just some off the top of my head that came out for W...
I think the Nintendo Network will deff be a boost for Nintendo as long as it stays free and friends codes never show up again. With individual user accounts, it should be easy to have one username and at it to your friend list. Voice chat seems like a no brainer at this point since the tablet has a built in mic, and we may even get videochat during gameplay which would deff 1 up the competitions online. Right now Xbox Live is the standard for online gaming but it comes with a cost. If Nintend...
Wow......so many comments from people that didn't read the article at all or just take certain things out of context and spin them around in their heads to make it seem like Nintendo isn't going to make 1080p resolutioned games with top notch graphics. Ok, for all you lazy people who refuse to read, for the Sony and Microsoft fanboys, for the Trolls and any other non Nintendo liking people here we go. Nintendo is saying that a game, for example "Rythm Heaven/Thief" is a game...
Japanese name of the game I believe!!
Good luck to the Vita....Nintendo has the 3DS ready to fire big shots the next few weeks all for the core gamers. Resident Evil Reveltaions this week, then Tales of the Abyss, then Metal Gear Solid 3 and a few weeks later Kid Icarus. Right now the games Vita is launching with do not compare to the titles 3DS will have out. I think Sony has a lot of work ahead of them because there is nothing to keep the momentum going after launch.
