"Just remember that Nintendo's relationship with third parties is mediocre at best"
If that statement were even remotely true, developers would be deserting the system en masse and we'd be seeing all sorts of in development Wii titles being shuttled to the other consoles. We're not seeing that sort of thing at all.
Remember when Monster Hunter Tri was originally going to be a Wii game and then Capcom moved it to the PS3 instead? Of course you don't, bec...
"Both Nintendo and Microsoft had to cut the price of their consoles directly after the PS3's price cut."
Lovely use of the post hoc fallacy, right there.
2-"Those plus... Tatsunoko vs. Capcom... New Zelda"
I don't follow; the article mentioned both of those.
2.1-"No game can be seriously considered an great/amazing game till you know how the f#ck it plays, till you get hands on it's just graphics"
Uh, graphics, gameplay videos, hands-on impressions, previews, in some cases import reviews, the company behind the game, the resources being put in, previous iterations in the same ser...
The correct choice for this sort of thing is Little King's Story, which I suspect even less people played than any of the games on this list.
Judging from the source and the comment, I suspect it'll probably something else along the lines of Gladiator AD or The Grinder. If it were something like Kid Icarus, I somewhat doubt IGN would be equivocating about whether it's B or A material.
"This proves Nintendo is actually a Japanese company run by Japanese people. Stereotypical, no?"
How so? This bike thing is being made and distributed by Big Ben Interactive, who are based in Europe.
Personally, I say that Radiant Silvergun alone would be more than enough to justify bringing the Saturn to the current-generation consoles.
"Well, the original only came to the states on Virtual Console"
Due to popular demand. If I recall correctly, Saki was also one of the most-requested playable characters in Brawl, which is why he got to be an assist trophy.
"there's a lot of rail shooters on Wii already."
Yes, but most of those are more along the lines of light-gun based rail-shooters, where you can't see your character or influence their movement, House of the ...
"I doubt 5 people bought JFG lol (I kid, i kid)"
They were going to make a sequel, if only the company hadn't nearly imploded.
Or at least that's what I tell myself every night as I dab my tears with my copy of Metal Arms and cry myself to sleep.
"It was a very under rated game"
Indeed, one would have hoped that since it came from Rare, and it got a not-insubstantial marketing push (I remember actually receiving i...
It's a shame that Jet Force Gemini never gets any love in these lists.
Well, if Warren Spector's involved, at the very least, the game has a very impressive pedigree going for it.
If true, this could be good or bad, depending on the breaks.
On the one hand, online right out of the box and no need for annoying subscriptions. On the other, if not particularly motivated, Capcom could take a 'You Get What You Pay For' stance. As Monster Hunter games are difficult enough when running perfectly fine, I shudder to imagine tackling one without a smoothly-functioning online infrastructure.
"To do their damndest to make sure every wii title is played down as much as possible"
If that were true, I don't think they would have included the second, much more enthusiastic opinion at the end giving the game an 8.75 and saying "It’s a must-play for fans of the franchise and newcomers alike."
"Maybe you are just thinking of De blob which had a free web game before it was made into a new game for the Wii."
They could be thinking of the pirated version of the game, though in terms of character, the people who pirate Goo rank somewhere between a roach and that crusty white stuff that accumulates at the corner of your mouth when you're really thirsty.
"If you modify YOUR console(you own it) they can just break it?"
That's hardly the worst thing they ('they' meaning all of the Big 3; not just Nintendo) can do or have done.
I remember a while back, they partnered with the Feds on some kind insane raids against the modchip community, which was in part hilarious because they were acting like they were busting this enormous crime-ring when all they did was bust in on thirty-some people and confiscate any...
"I completely agree with you but for the most part people have HB for reasons that are not legit."
One of the issues here is that we can't actually say this sort of thing with any real degree of certainty. You think that most Homebrewers are in it for the scuzzy emulation, whereas I have the impression that, as with the modchip community, the pirates are in the minority and that most of them are in it for the imports.
I admit, I could be wrong in my ass...
"PS3 is the best long lasting console because of excellent Sony tech and hardware"
Uh, you do realize that Sony had a firmware update a while back that did exactly the same thing that this article is talking about, right?
http://www.informationweek....
The problem with that line of thinking is that there are many applications for Homebrew that have absolutely nothing to do with software piracy.
Getting your Wii to play DVDs, bypassing the region lock so that one can play legally-obtained imports that Nintendo of America has no interest in bringing stateside, playing Brawl with different skins, streaming media and OS features that the 'Wii is not hardcore' crowd are always whining about the system not having, backing up your N...
The funny part of all this is that there's a Homebrew program for fixing that very problem.
"If so, it is possible to play the game in it's upscaled state."
In principle, yes. The problem, though, is that the Dolphin emulator requires some pretty high specs (at least by today's standards) from whatever PC it plays on to work. Even then, some of the games can really make the CPU start to chug, which can, and often does, lead to some pretty crazy lag.
In practice, for a lot of games, this means that the Dolphin can produce some fairly slick scr...
