@ Mr_Nuts,
I would buy a Open World Mario, Zelda, or Metroid game day one. Include online Multiplayer and its sold. Also I ould buy an Online Open World F-Zero with no quetions asked.
Although I never felt bad about my Wii U purchase, I can say that after seeing the PS4 and Xbox One reveals, I do feel more cinfident in my purchase. As far as games, I went in knowing that Nintendo would probably get shafted by 3rd parties, however I was worried that Ninendo waa going to be behind on features. Turns out Nintendo was ahead of the curve which is promising.
I do feel that the Gamepad is a huge advantage over what I have seen and seeing the Kinnect, Smartglas...
Where is FZero 64 or GX?
I didnt read all of the comments, but I would like to add my 2 cents. Being a seasoned gamer dating back to Colecovision, I remember when Nintendo 1st came on the scene. To make a long story short, Nintendo was not very nice to 3rd parties in general and developed the Nintendo seal of approval that they would place on games they deemed worthy by there standards. They would still sell 3rd party games on the console, but the seal let consumers know if the game was worth buying which naturally p...
Already, this has been the Longest GEN in History
The Gamecube controller is the blueprint for the 360 controller and Xbox, also the original PS controller did not have any analog sticks until after the 64, who proved it superior to the D-pad, also introduced bt Nintendo.
In the NES, SNES days, Nintendo was not top dog graphically. That honor went to Sega, then Turbo Graphix 16, then PS. The 64 graphics where never considered gorgeous, however the 360, 3D gaming and analog stick help it trump its way to historic Franchises....
Wii U version def looks better, not by much to thats to be expected considering its a port and Wii U runs on a different Arch than last Gen. I'll have to download the demo, might be a purchase for me.
Just a Thinking point... People always use PS3 and 360 to compare to the Wii U to show how under powered the Wii U is. What they dont mention is that:
What they are showing is 1st gen Wii U games vs PS360 maxed out games.
The PS4 and New XBox will not have great leaps of graphical power. Most of the New-Gen power is going to go towards functions other than gaming.
Mario is not and has never been the Benchmark of graphics. It is however a Popu...
Nintendo is a Companonion console for the majority of gamers now a days. Most people will buy Nintendo console and then and XBOX or PS, Which almost seems more like Nintendo is main console and the other are companions....But since that perception would make Nintendo the console the console of choice, it doesnt sit well with those that are considered "Core gamers" so Nintendo is the Companion. I dont know many peolpe that get MS and PS consoles to accompany each other.
What's the purpose of the PS4 touched honestly? How is that better than having a screen? Its better cause Nintendo didn't make it, lol. That's just how it is.
I think Nintendo was an after thought to most the industry and gamers since the game cube. I know most of my friends left the big N alone around the launch of PS2. When you look at the industry, no matter what Nintendo does its over looked misunderstood, or labeled a gimmick until someone else does it. The Wii U is being over looked right now based of what Sony and Microsoft might offer, and that's just consumers looking to get the best console. The Wii U will sell because Nintendo have g...
I always find it funny when people say that 3rd party games don't sell well on Nintendo platforms when compared to 1st party games. The truth is Very few games sell as well Nintendo 1st party games on any console. P
You would think by now 3rd parties would get over it by now. Either you with Nintendo or you not. I have more respect for those that just come out and say, "we not making games for Nintendo" rather than put out half ass ports and then say, " Hey look, are half ass ports are not selling on Nintendo, thier market dosent like our games." Lets see them reverse that scenario, put the late release half ass port on another console and give Nintendo the best version and advertisin...
Is it just me or does every gaming company use Franchises for their consoles. Also how many 3rd parties are remade over and over like Madden, 2K series, COD, GTA and Metal Gear to name a few. All of these games, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd party, debuted on a console and are in development to be released or have already been released as of today. This goes back decades. So if Nintendo makes 40 Zeldas, Sony makes 25 God or Wars, and Xbox makes 35 Halos with spin - offs, whats the difference?
Personally i hope 3rd parties stop making excuses and start making games. Don't half ass on the Nintendo consoles and then say, "Oh, look Nintendo users don't like a or b, they like C. BS, As a consumer and gamer, I like good games, period. Not old ports, watered down ports or imitationNintendo games. I buy good games.
If F- Zero doesn't make an appearance, I'm done with Nintendo.... maybe.
Still less than a Vita, or a touch pad, move, navigator and eye camera, for less the value. Ijs...
It seems to me alot of people wish Nintendo would fail, just like a Celtics fan dosent want the Lakers to win. Personally, I dont think Nintendo have anything to worry about from the new consoles. Nintendo may or may not recieve decent 3rd party support, which remains to be seen, but in truth all 3rd party support does for Nintendo is put them ahead of the other systems and game gadgets available. Nintendos 1st party games alone keeps them relevant and sells consoles. I for one buy Nintendo c...
I would like the next F-Zero to have up to 24 racers online play, voice chat, and for the game pad to initialize hyper speed in first person view when aligned with the TV screen. Also I would like hover craft customization options with a profile for online races.
I'm actually curious to see what PS4 and XB1 do with all this power in their new consoles. So far I'm not impressed. I never by Nintendo consoles based on power, I buy them cause they always innovate the gameplay. I didnt get that with Sony and Microsoft so far.
