lets be honest- it looks almost identical.
its clearly just an easy way for nintendo to milk every last penny from wiiu gamers before they hammer the final nail in its already nail ridden coffin.
wasted opportunity.
im not excited about paper mario. i think its a poor choice
lol marloc, im not THAT old ;)
another problem with the whole amiibo thing is they make it very obvious that the target audience is children lol
and dont get me wrong, a game like zelda could be for a mature gamer, but when paired with a toy, it becomes childish.
i think amiibo have their place, but i dont think nintendo should tie exclusive content to them, forcing gamers to buy things they dont really need or want.
i would...
in the good old days to get extra lives you simply put in a code, or pressed certain buttons in a certain sequence.
now you have to buy a £15 toy.
this generation is terrible. its only going to get worse.
and its true what another member said, its glorified DLC. having an extra 'cave' only availble to those who buy the amiibo, is the same as saying you can only get this content if you pay extra money. so it IS a physical DLC. ...
yes, all my wiiu games are full price, and special edition haha
thats why its so frustrating that the wiiu is ridiculously expensive...
i actually want to play the games i bought :/
the wiiu is an unattractive prospect for consumers looking to invest in a games console.
why would anyone spend £250-300 on a new wiiu, when they could spend the same amount and get a ps4 or X1?
It really does baffle me why nintendo think they could ever compete with their current pricing strategy. its commercial suicide.
i desperately want to buy a wiiu, but at its current price, it really is not worth it.
its a £1...
nintendo have reduced themselves to making novelties.
they cant compete on the same level as sony/microsoft, so are forced to create a product that appears to offer something completely different, new... a gimmick, a novelty.
the NX will have to be something different because sony/microsoft have most of the gaming market share..
nintendo will aim to win niche market appeal
''Nintendo required that they be the sole manufacturer of all cartridges, and that the publisher had to pay in full before the cartridges for that game be produced. Cartridges could not be returned to Nintendo, so publishers assumed all the risk. As a result, some publishers lost more money due to distress sales of remaining inventory at the end of the NES era than they ever earned in profits from sales of the games. Because Nintendo controlled the production of all cartridges, it was...
they will continue making innovative doorstops
its just a way for nintendo to keep making profit on every single game that is on their console since the devs have to get nintendo to manufacture the carts for them.
devs have hated it since... well, forever, and they wont be pleased if nintendo continue on that route.
plus, as everyone else with common sense is saying, the carts will come at a great expense to the consumer.
if nintendo are hell bent on ensuring the NX's failure, then yes, use cartridges.
though i suppose there is a niche appeal for a doorstop that plays cartridge games
the wiiu is unique because it keeps the door open but also plays games
its too late.
ugh
we should stop encouraging the industry to cannibalize itself.
we need to move forward. we need to create new things. this obsession with nostalgia is good for nothing. its counter productive.
i want new experiences, not recycled and regurgitated ones from decades ago
forward!!
i disagree, and have been saying it for years now. even major titles such as the super mario bros wiiu game is missing a soul. nintendo used to be masters of marrying form with function in their games. they were all innovative, both gameplay wise, and to look at... they were cutting edge. as i said in my previous reply, now they are merely functional.
to me, new super mario bros is the best example of what im talking about... is super bland, it has an almost corporate look... l...
i feel that in the past nintendo had an excitement, they were genuinely interested in making cutting edge games because the technology was new, they were doing unique things. even with mario tennis.
but now, everyone is familiar with 3d, we know its strengths and weaknesses. every type of game has been done to death. now the games just seem generic
you can tell nintendo are bored and uninspired because many of the games dont have that magic they used to. they...
innovation is welcome, but nintendo need to steer clear of gimmicks and novelty.
the problem with wiiu was, people didnt know if it was a door-stop that played games, or a games console that was also a door-stop.
link was always transgender. its only now he's 'coming out' and embracing his femininity.
thats why nintendo never made him speak, because he has a girls voice
dismal.
2015 was an excruciatingly slow and long funeral for the wiiu.
2016 is the wake
im underwhelmed by this so called hd version.
it certainly isnt on par with the treatment wind waker hd got.
this game looks washed out, where are the dark tones? there is no contrast. it looks horrible.
great game, fantastic even. but lets call it how we see it- disappointing!
