How can you say that Nintendo took no risk with the Wii? They gambled on a target audience that didnt even exist before the Wii. They sold your grandma and grandpa a video game console... thats not risky to you?
The risk paid of, and now you have Playstation Move and Microsoft Kinect. They followed Nintendo, not the other way around my friend.
You make your points as if Sony and Microsoft are "changing" the video game industry. Both of which sim...
Fact?
Ummm you do realize that none of the consoles that you mentioned are realeased yet right? That means we have absolutely no specs. So how is that a Fact?
Sounds awesome.
I wonder if theyll give us any new footage/demo before November?
Iwata did publicly take some responsibility for 3DS, and yes he took a paycut. However, Iwata was not the only individual that had his salary cut. A lot of the Nintendo "big wigs" took a paycut.
The 3DS got off to a real rocky start. But sales have picked up after the price drop. And to be fair, the 3DS hasnt even been out 6 months yet. With the exception of the Ocarina of Time, its first party titles have yet to even arrive. How could anyone possibly blame all of...
Very cool, i like it. Now you're gonna make me start hoping for an A Link to the Past remake.
Nice.
Who knows, maybe the games will end up being less expensive.
Experience points are gained through about 90 minutes of bad acting.
You write the article as the other 2 companies, Sony & Microsoft, REALLY changed something.
The Wii discovered a new, and incredibly huge, gaming target audience. Like it or not, you cannot deny that.
Why not?
Competition is a good thing.
Owen Hart would be awesome, but no surprise there.
No Andre the Giant is just wrong.
Nice.
I could have my WiiU by next summer.
lol. Thats so cool. I want one.
The only game on this list that im getting is Skyward Sword. I really hope that Xenoblade and Last Story to make it to USA. I would get them too.
Yea, i think you're right. I just hate to see the exclusives fail on the Wii. But hey, maybe the fact that theyre being ported means that its not really a fail. Who knows?
I hate to bash Sega, because Conduit 2 was a significant improvement over 1. However, neither is as good as Golden Eye 007 (also getting a PS360 release).
Cool. Thanx for the Zelda news.
I definitely want all menus/maps etc. on the controller. Other than that, just give me enhanced graphics and we're good. Never had a problem with any Zelda storyline, so no need to worry about that.
Didnt Miyamoto say something about (re)releasing The Four Swords Adventures for the WiiU?
Yes, you're a gamer. You play for the love of the game, and i respect that.
But man, come on... Call of Duty and Madden are reputable games. Theyre also very fun. There's nothing wrong with trying to show your buds more "core" titles. But dont let their initial reactions turn you into a "video game snob".
Ill wrap this up soon, just one more point. When i bought a Wii, something very strange happened. My girlfriend started pl...
Hmmm. They had me all the way up until they said that the portable would launch with a new name. I realize with less emphasis on 3D, its not truly a 3DS, but gimme a break.
A new name is like starting from scratch. Not technically, of course, but socially. Nintendo knows the importance of branding their products (i.e. Nintendo - Super Nintendo, Gameboy - Gameboy Advanced, Wii - WiiU). People like to think that they know what the hell theyre buying. And if theyre like me, t...
lol. Itll be okay dude, i still like Sonic.
Appreciate the rant, gamers have gotten really whiny. Lets be honest though, in Sonic's case, most of the ranting isnt about minor, insignificant tid bits. The whining is about bad games. When a great game series turns into an awful game series, what do you expect people to say? We pay hard earned money for this.
You cant honestly tell me that Sonic turning into a werewolf in Unleashed was "exciting&quo...
Good points as always clockworkrazor.
But becareful not to count your chickens before theyve hatched. Sony has said that the graphical leap from PS3 to PS4 will not be as significant as PS2 to PS3.
Now, of course, things can change... but what if it doesnt? The PS4 could roughly end up in the same graphical ballpark as the WiiU (i believe that you said about 2x as powerful as PS3). But who knows?
Im also concerned with how the WiiU wil...
