I don't get the 1 disagree with my statement, there's nothing about my statement that isn't true. Dreamcast had an steady stream of games, its hardware while better than the PS1 and N64 was dwarfed by the Xbox, PS2, and Game Cube, the system was cheap and Sega didn't have enough money to support the system with true Next Gen consoles coming. The Wii U on the other hand is expensive considering the hardware, had EA titles released, and lack games after lunch, only difference bo...
Microsoft don't waste your time. You guys came out swinging in Japan with the 360 with RPG after RPG, fighting games, racing games, and RROD. The Japanese complained about the controller size of the original Xbox controller saying its too big and the system looks too boxes. You guys improved the 360 design over time, made the controller smaller and better, and had great Japanese developers on board and still was outsold by the PS2. The Wii U comes out with the largest controller since the...
Next Dreamcast I would have to say no. Dreamcast had an steady stream of games through out its life cycle, very good games that sold decent considering the cheaper development budgets. Dreamcast hardware was in an similar case like the Wii U with much more powerful hardware coming out in the next two years, but the hardware was cheap to the consumer. Wii U on the other hand has gone a month plus without releasing any new titles, the hardware is expensive comparatively to current gen platform,...
I don't know about Ice Climber and StarTropics but I wouldn't mind seeing Starfox and Wave Race come back. Super Punchout would be nice as well along with new IPs.

I wouldn't say its EA fault at all, EA has seen what Nintendo gamers buy and trust me it aint EA products. Games like ME3, Batman 3, Madden couldn't even break 80,000 units sold, but 2D Mario has sold almost two million.
Its well known Wii U hardware is underpowered and Nintendo has been shooting themselves in the foot regarding WiiU marketing and games. So the blame is on Nintendo and its fans, Nintendo for releasing and marketing thi...
I'm actually surprised the developers just didn't develop Beyond Two souls on both platforms since the PS4 is not suppose to be backwards compatible with the PS3. This game already looks next gen, only thing needed is higher resolution textures, 1080P, and probably 60 FPS can be achieved on the PS4.
why the 1 disagree? Look up the numbers, American games don't sell crap in the land of the rising sun.
On the same token Japanese gamers hate American games. Ever see the sales total for some of the biggest western games in Japan not released on Nintendo? COD franchise, Battlefield Franchise, God of War, Gears of War, Uncharted, GTA, Assassins Creed series, American Sports games, all had abysmal numbers in Japan.
Satoru Iwata will be Nintendo downfall. The man got lucky with the Wii in terms of hardware sales. As time passed you started seeing Wii's on the top of closet shelves collecting dust as third party support dwindled and major 1st party releases becoming more rare by the month, Wii shop can only support a system for so long.
Iwata had the opportunity to release a future proof consoles and build on third party relationships. What does Iwata do? Release a system that is only...
Nintendo needs to start thinking outside the box. I'm 31 years old and I have been tired of jumping on heads, rescuing dumb princesses, and spitting fireballs since I was 18. Nintendo has become too stubborn for their own good. Almost like Nintendo design hardware just for themselves and don't really care what third party developers think outside a few home grown developers. This attitude will only lead to more gamers dumping Nintendo for Sony and Microsoft as the gaming population ag...
As predicted in a couple of my post last month. NOJ will scapegoat Reggie, make it look like its the American office not holding up their end of the bargain. As I said before if this continues expect NOJ to announce a new system, Reggie has been fired, and apologize to their fans in the next 3 years or so.
Reggie needs to resign before Satoru Iwata ruins his reputation. I think Satoru Iwata is the problem, Reggie can only do soo much with the hand he is dealt.
Satoru Iwata needs to resign immediately. He got lucky with the Wii because of the novelty of the Wii remote but what has he done for Nintendo lately? Bad hardware decisions, bad marketing, bad third party relations,and now he wants to have less of an presence at the biggest gaming event this year. No wonder Wii U sales has fallen flat in the US, they might even lose more third party support if this is true. If I was an developer I wouldn't want to develop on an slightly under power conso...
Nintendo just don't have crap to show. The only games I expect Nintendo to announce is Mario, Zelda, Smash Brothers, Earth Bound, Pikmin3, and maybe Kirby or Star Fox. Its funny how rumors fly about Nintendo having less of an presence at E3 and suddenly E3 is no big deal to Nintendo fanboys. Never mind that its the largest event for gaming with TGS, PAX, and GDC playing second fiddle.
@Theyellowflash30
15 shooters or not I still have an decent selection of racing games, RPG games, sports games, action &adventures and probably a ton of new IP developers won't publish on the Wii U. So yeah I'll take that over milked franchises and games I wouldn't buy on my sell phone.
Even if both systems cost $500 I can afford both on the same pay check. With that said I still have not purchased a Wii U yet, there's nothing Nintendo ha...
What's up with the disagrees? Fanboyism? Probably, any who there were documents out there supporting $299 for the next Xbox, PS4 unknown but probably in the $399 ball park range. In terms of selling 11 million I really don't see that being a problem if the price is right. Even the Wii U will sell 11 million units by the end of 2014.
I will probably buy both systems this fall and skip the Wii U unless Nintendo has something really impressive instore for E3. The link r...
That sounds about right if the price is under $299 or less.
@jetlian
Alright Jetlian listed below is an handful of multi platform titles that has come out over the last year or so. Looking at these titles its obvious the PC versions look better with increase textures, higher polygon count, and shading effects. With the increase in visual and audio fidelity more storage space needed to compensate.
Crysis 3
PC=14.2 GBs
PS3=5.77GB
Xbox360= 5.1GB
Bioshock Infinite
PC=14.9 G...
@ jetlian
Of course Jetlian, that is why I mentioned 7.1 DTS HD audio and 64bit 4K textures. If PS2 video ram can fill up an entire side of a DVD what do you think 8GB of ram can do to a BR? The argument I'm making is 50 GB BRs will not be enough later on when developers figure out how to maximize 8GBS of ram.
As consoles ages level size; sound quality, texture quality, mesh quality all go up which increases storage space needed for these assets. This is ...
@_-EDMIX-_
Apparently Microsoft thought DVD9 was enough and not HDDVD. I actually wonder if MS was ever serious about HDDVD in the first place. It would have made since to launch the console using this higher capacity format but MS wanted to save a couple of dollars while Sony went all out on the PS3. Nintendo finally got wise and included 25GB BR on their Wii U which is perfect for the 1 GB of ram available to the developers.
I like the hard drive install o...
Westernized like what? I wouldn't call Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey or Final Fantasy westernized I think your thinking something like Mass Effect series. As mentioned its not just Microsoft its Sony and Nintendo as well with games developed by none Japanese developers.
Assassin Creed 3 has sold over 10 million units with only 144,000 coming from Japan combined for all 3 systems. Again I don't think MS should waste their time with Japan its an failing business endeavor t...
