Maybe I could see Nintendo doing like a 6 month exclusive or something but that would be about it as far as a GTA game would be concerned though...
We would see a better shot of Nintendo locking up an exclusive time on the next Resident Evil installment more so than GTA V... Nintendo has to start creating some of these experiences themselves and making sure they market it well
I don't think the issue is with Zelda taking so long but for Nintendo to become better at managing the drought of good software coming out for their systems... If a smaller development company like Rockstar can manage multiple high profile titles over the life of 3 consoles, Nintendo should be able to streamline a string of top quality software to keep consistency over the life of their systems...
It would be nice if these companies release a limited edition amount for the early adopters to show their appreciation to the hardcore. Such specific things like a limited edition color, 2 controllers, free download games or DLC, larger storage drives, etc... With an exclusive number say of 10 million run offs to cover a target amount. It would at least make the hardcore buyers feel worthy of getting these systems right out of the gate!
That has to be the craziest statement that I've heard thus Far! To say there is a huge income gap between those that can afford an ipad vs those that can afford a 3ds... there's a difference between being able to afford something and just not willing to pay for somethings because it's overpriced. To me any parent that can afford to spend any excess money at all on electronics for their kids can afford to buy anything they choose if they desire To... its not so much about income t...
I think as Long as Nintendo can market that tablet controller in a multimedia way beyond video games, you will see the Wii U fly off shelves... As soon as people know that they can Face chat, watch Hulu/Netflix, web surfing plus whatever other Apps come into play for this device. I would like to see Nintendo do some very aggressive software partnerships for this so that it comes packed with content, that's what the average user feels is value for their money. Not necessarily hardware sel...
So do people have the same problems when going to purchase an ipad 2? Or do they know the difference with that when buying that device for their 6 &7 yr old kids...
I personally like Nintendo making the games that they know how, because I would much rather see developers like Retro, NSTC, Intelligent systems, Monolith soft and others create the more adult themed games that they are more than capable of doing.
This is kind of a moot point though, because the same could be said about Apple and their products or many of the major phone or electronic manufacturers for that Matter. Most devices can't do what they claim at launch and I think Sony has the right idea to call it computer entertainment rather than video games system. Consumers tend to think they are getting something of a gretter value with the word computer being attached to it. Think about how advanced these systems have gotten since ...
Well while us open minded gamers are all playing next gen games on the Wii-U next year, you jaded fanboys will be in line waiting for your buggy, over heating next-box system to come out! Which is probably a ways off anyway... Because unlike some of you on here many of us have jobs and can afford to get more than one console instead of sitting on the blogs trolling because people actually like the Wii U... Hint, as another poster said before, this sounds just like the arguments people were ha...
Well the things u are faced with when u are suppose to be an unbiased publication is that u are willing to weigh products on merits alone. It's deeds like this and of Gamespot that cause major media publications and sites to lose advertising money & traffic because the review is just so polarizing from everything else that is out there concerning this title. The fact alone that I trust is when Famitsu gave this game a 40/40 because they didn't just do it because it was Nintendo, t...
Well this next generation is really gonna be a defining moment
because 3 consoles will be able to run the same games just with
particular elements geared for the target system... So it really will come
down to the exclusives for certain this time around!
Well I hate to inform u but upscaling doesn't work that way! There's no way to say put a Wii game in the Wii u and expect it to look like an xbox360 or PS3 game. Let alone think that a game developed for the 360 will look like anything currently on the PC or Xbox720 or whatever... The resolutions, compression techniques and stuff like that can be played with but would be considered post effects and normally cause image quality issues in the end. There's just no substitute for true...
Well we know for sure the Wii U is coming in 2012, but if people think
That a rushed Xbox720 is gonna stand toe to toe with the Wii U then
people are really grandstanding sensationalism here! When the xbox360 launched
it didn't have any nextgen competition for a whole year. So the launch line up was lacking
and littered with very buggy, graphically enhanced ports... If the rumors prove to be true, the Wii U Launch could be one of the strongest supported...
this is one studio that Nintendo shouldn't have let get away! They were right for selling Rare but these guys are clearly talented and have brought some of the PS3's best games this generation...
To say Nintendo is killing a system that is still very much under development and at least a year away from being released. Nintendo are geniuses at creating lots of interest around their new tech and they have the hype machine in full swing here... Any and just about everything that is in the gaming news is predominantly about what Nintendo is doing right now, not Sony nor Microsoft! This amount of attention and coverage would cost them a fortune because all it will take is one official anno...
I think people are getting far to ahead of themselves here! Do I see Nintendo selling these controllers individually right now, no! But in that case I can see them releasing an extra controller
With the right software to push the idea of playing with an additional WiiPad. Kind of what they did with the Wii Fit/Balance board bundle. That's how they will justify selling the extra controllers plus driving a large install base for the extra pad as well...
This is probably the most solid and reliable news to come from a good source in many days! Seeing as to Sega does have actual real hardware development hardware and can paint a real picture of what Nintendo's future plans may look like for us gamers...
What really gets me is the fact that all of these rumors keep coming out about the horse power of this system but in the end the fact is even if the GPU rumored is the base for this new system. This is a custom chip people! just like the XBox 360 before it was based on old tech design but given more current specs and features(At that time). The same will hold true in this case as well. Nintendo is not just taking an off the shelf graphics card and putting it in the Wii U, and that's what ...
I know people tout PC's for their graphical capabilities, but the truth of the matter is, consoles are the vehicles driving games into a more mainstream and accepted past time. People playing games around a PC will always have a more negative connotation because it spills of isolation and a solitary environment. On the other hand, consoles are played in the living room where families gather. So it just gets a lil old with the console bashing of them being inferior
