Has my interest in Wii U increased. If true, this would be very enticing for an on the fence consumer.
Retro is ace, and their track record speaks volumes. This could be special. E3 should be interesting to say the least.
No. Leave that alone.
Hope so.
Reporting the facts is seen as negative media?
Fact Sony lost billions this quarter.
Fact PS division in particular lost billions this quarter
Fact Vita is not selling well right now
Fact In order for Sony to reach their expectations Vita will have to start selling considerably better, so there must be something in the workings to help get Vita on track to meet those expectations. A price cut alone ain't gonna do...
The funniest thing in all of this is that just a week prior Sony reported losses of what 6billion? But apparently Losing half a billion dollars causes such an uproar where as Sony's losses aren't catastophic.
Welcome to the bizarro world of N4G. When was the last time Sony wasn't in the red btw? This is Nintendo's first operating loss in its existence. And there's good reason for that too, Nintendo made some bad business decisions, abandoning two cash c...
250$ Tops. 200$ with a game packed in would be nice too. But I'm really on the fence about this coming gen. If videogames continue to try and emulate movies then that's when I retire from gaming. I never buy systems at launch any way.
Patience is a virtue when it comes to technology. Just wait and you can save many hard earned dollars..Assuming folks have jobs. Shit is tough right now.
Nailed it. Perfect the online aspect, and I'm satisfied. Brawl is easily been my most played game this gen. Worth the purchase of the Wii alone. Get rid of the clown tripping though, that was annoying.
Give you that A-dub
It's a corny name for a console. Go with N7 or something. But regardless of what its called, just make the proper games we want to play.
So attack a population because the company you like to cheerlead for isn't doing so hot right now.
Talk about ignorant.
Skyward Sword had fantastic controls as did Red Steel 2. The thing holding SS back was too much filler, too much dialogue, too much monotnous task and objectives and not enough action and content. RS2 suffered from limiting everything you could do from exploration to objectives.
I have MANY gripes with SS but controls damn sure wasnt one of them.
With most of what you wrote, but stating that Skyward Sword sold more Wii's than any game other than Wii Sports is unbelievably false.
Every game Nintendo released pre 2010 sold more Wii's than SS ever will. SS sold about as many Wii as Sega's Madworld.
The games responsible for Wii's unprecedented sales besides Wii Sports or resort, were Mario Kart, Wii Fit, New Super Mario Bros, Brawl Just Dance ect.
Skyward Sword has...
People need to stop listening to any of his outrageous ideas, perspective, and predictions. he is a mouthpiece for...some company or companies. He's said crazy things about Sony and PS3, Nintendo Wii and even 3ds.
This is the latest and obviously not the last. But it will be the last time I even comment on a pachter news bit.
If Wii was a bubble why did it own this generation by outselling both HD consoles? Why did said HD consoles adopt motion contro...
Fanboys didn't save Sony from from pulling up the rear this gen did it?
Success on gen is not garaunteed to another.
Can't really use this sort of logic. These things are so unpredictable so anything can happen. The thing that will determine the winner is the same things that have always determined the winner and that is the quality content in the software.
It has nothing to do with tech and everything with the games. We will see at E3 what Wii U brings to the table and if it is compelling enough, and affordable enough for mass consumption.
Question is this? The answer is no more than any other video game maker.
Very nice.
I'm only asking because I am not knowledgeable on these matters. However, I think many people take this as Retro working on a game with 'cel shading' ala Wind Waker...or even Skyward Sword.
And while people seem to put Wind Waker on a pedestal they conveniently forget the backlash such an artsyle had with fans. So there's an anxiety happening with fans of say Zelda, that want the game to resemble the tech demo shown and not go the 'creative artsyle' ...
Less talk more action. And make sure the art style is what is shown in that demo.
I'm not the only one!
