Bimko, I never played it, nor did I claim to have. And what I mean to say is that it isn't gratuitous or graphically sexual, just that the developers knew there would be more interest in it if it was advertised as being mature. Months went by of promotions for Catherine without any gameplay details whatsoever because they weren't trying to sell the game, they were selling the mature plot, and thus exploiting the people interested in it based on this.
And what is inorganic abou...
No, it is all about understanding and acceptance, even if it is exploitation.
If you see someone walking down the street that attracts you, should you feel ashamed? After all, you are basically exploiting that persons appearance to make yourself feel good, even if you don't realise it.
Sex is just a part of human life, and Japan gets this. That's why it can seem so in your face there. But in America and some other western countries, we live in denial about the subject,...
That's because Japan is very honest and understanding about sex in their culture as a part of human life, while most of the west tries to hide sex while simultaneously exploit and glorify it, creating a very uncomfortable and immature perception of what is simply a natural part of human life, nikk.
The problem, I think, with characters in most western made games open for discussion on this topic, is that they try to make a sex object out of their characters, or make them for that purpose alone, then atempt to legitimize the character with lame excuses to keep detractors away and hope people don't see them as sexist pigs.
In most eastern games, however, there seems to be more honesty and openess, that is perceived by the west to be shameless exploitation and blatant sexism. ...
There won't be any reason to make a two stick revision at all unlessthe slide pad add on takes of, proving that the concept is worth implementing in a standard fasion.
The earliest I see such a revision coming is next holiday season, but only if the add on has enough Third party support.
Addition: basically, splitting the user base has less to do with the matter than practical necessity, or lack thereof.
You guys do know that this statement was just a cheesy one liner in a glo...rified commercial, right?
Your taking this WAY to seriously...
Edit- oops, stupid tablet messed up the word "glorified".
I think they will release next year, seeing as how the wiiu won't launch until the holidays and they have nothing else for the wii until then.
And if they came out this year, Zelda would maul them to death.
...no remakes? Then your not going to get a vita either?
Addition: You know, the vita has alot of remakes and ports too.
Yeah. Because Reggie has TOTAL control over NOA, with no one above him.
And keep your rage in until Next year.
Yep. Plenty of time for a few rpgs to reach American shelves, thus avoiding being ripped to shreds by Zelda, and allowing NOE a few months of exclusive sales.
Just as they always planned.
Without reading the article, I'm going to guess:
Ambassador games update
3d video recording update
Firmware update info
More eshop games
Mario kart update
More Nintendo game updates, like release date info
New game announcements...?
I'm going to read it now. Will update once I'm finished.
Edit ehh, I was pretty close.
Lightning, it is not about hype, but quality.
And the only reason your not hyped about it is because Nintendo is pretty secretive, and dosen't shove upcoming game content down our throat every day like other companies do. It makes the game more interesting to play the less you know about what happens in it, in my opinion.
Not 100%, some ds games needed a peripheral that attached to the gba slots.
But only a handful. You could probably cout them on one hand, actually.
Yo, shackdaddy, I've got more for you:
Cave story 3d
Tales of the abyss 3d
Animal crossing
Paper mario
Kid icarus uprising
Ace combat
Metal gear solid snake eater
Resident evil revelations
I don't think a redesign will come until next holiday season.
Nintendo needs to make sure the second slide pad is widely received, or else there will be no point in a second slide pad revision at all.
Monster hunter tri G 3ds is releasing just a week before the vita in Japan.
It is also #4 in a recent famitsu poll of most wanted video games, a list in which only 1 vita game ranked in the top 25 (The new Persona 4 game, which I don't think is even releasing this year. Someone please verify this.)
I don't think it will dominate as much as you think. Of course, being a new piece of tech, it will still do incredibly well, regardless of how well the 3ds does
It shouldn't.
If you want to play these games, buy a Nintendo.
Or maybe someone should homebrew the wiiu upon release to enable and play ps1-ps3 games illegally? I didn't think so.
Of course not.
You mean the ds one?
@tanir
You should try golden sun dark dawn and FF Four heroes of light on ds if you can.(or look them up)
Ok, this is my last bubble, so I will make my case and leave.
I don't believe that sex in Japanese games is usually exploitive because of the nature of presentation. Sex is simply seen as a natural part of life, and just isn't that big a deal. Although sex is used to "exploit" consumers in Japan as it is in America, this fact is also accepted and understood as a natural part of their lives, and is therefore not exploitive after all.
But in America, we feel as...
