So I already made one comment but I've been thinking and believe something should be elaborated upon. See, here is the thing; Nintendo is trying to sell the Wii U on it's own IPs. Nintendo has always done this but it never HAD to do it like has with the Wii U. The problem is that we act like maybe after there are a bunch of them out on the machine than people will want it like they want the PS4/XB1. But Nintendo sold less than 30 million N64s and Gamecubes on exactly that same set of ...
A game that hits the public the right way can definitely move consoles. But the only one on that list that has a chance of selling enough units to be a real success would be next year's open world Zelda. But, as big as Zelda has been, I think people don't care as much anymore. Certainly the hardcore do but there was much more excitement for Pokemon X&Y than for Zelda:ALBW. So that leads me to the ONE game I could see really selling the system to people; a grand, fully featured, op...
It almost seems like Uni soft is seeing just how far they can push all this before it's an issue. Like there's some guy running accounting who's, in 2 months, gonna tell the higher ups that the critical mass number, the number that causes people to freak out and not care anymore, is X and that will lead to next year's list of games being one less than X.
I don't care. What I DO care about is the 3DS Virtual console matching the Wii's. I'd buy SNES and N64 games like CRAZY for my 3DS.
Replace Aipom with Infernape and the list is acceptable.
I really wish Bioshock Infinite didn't get so much hate. I agree that the game play was not great but I just don't understand why Bioshock (a good looking game with an arguably great story saddled with boring gameplay) is shouted down as a terrible game while The Last of Us (a good looking game with an arguably great story saddled with boring gameplay) gets held up as the gold standard of the medium.
Sighhh, there's too many comments for anyone to notice this one...
I feel like this post can't be seruous. The track it's on suggests something between dreamcast and n64. So under 30 million. Even if the heavens parted and we got a Pokemon MMO (something some have suggested would really boost sales) and even if it was a huge hit and redefined the franchise for years to come, I'd still say 100 million doesn't have a prayer of being sold.
If something does come out and the system does end up REALLY turning it around, it still ...
I'm married and don't have a great job. I can't afford to make multiple purchases of basicly the same machine in any one generation.
So, the only thing that would make me buy this one is if nintendo told us it would be their go to handheld system for the next 4 years. I could get one then. But not when the possibility of a real successor sits heavy on the horizon of the next 2 years.
Just as a note, there is a difference between underrated and under-appreciated.
Underrated: It's thought by many to not be very good but an often vocal minority enjoys it, despite possible flaws. Sometimes conversations about these games are a bit nasty (You actually LIKED game Y! You're an idiot! We all know game Y was the worst!" Examples of games people talk about that fall into this category would be Final Fantasy XIII, Resident Evil 5&6, Tomb Raider Und...
I'm going out on a limb and guess it's got nothing to do with the games.
Various people are going to be there but they prominently mention the voice actors. At least that's how I was told it read.
Anyway, I think it's gonna be about the anime.

The change to an over the shoulder camera would have required a much larger investment from Capcom. An OTS camera requires a 3D evironment but most of what you see in the game isn't 3D but a sort of 2D wallpapering. So Capcom would have had to redo a vast percentage of the visuals.
I'm confused...is this a remake or a port OF the remake? Maybe a remake of the remake?
Good job having an indie month, N4G. There is no sector of the gaming universe I think is more interesting.
I've always appreciated stealth more than action games. I find the ways in which you get to engage with a world in a stealth context to be infinity enjoyable.
I remember playing a Star Trek game on the 360 early in its life. It was terrible, in part, because the movements in space were pretty indecipherable. I'm enjoying what I'm seeing here in part because it takes the unwieldiness of space and figures simple ways to negate it.
Bravo!
I used to finish games all the time. After I got my first job though I started buying anything and everything I had any interest in. After that it got really hard to finish everything.
Now I'm married and work full time and finally got around to finishing halo reach the other day.
Well I'm not sure if you know it but that was exactly what I wanted you to think.
The quotes I used were not real quotes but imagined statements that reflect the general impression the Wii U and its games have on a majority that's out there now, NOT buying the Wii U.
My attempt was to give the kinds of things a member of the general public feels in regards to the games on the Wii U. These have not been my personal feels. I personally was excited when Pikmin 3 was announced.
The problem is MOST people, which is to say the majority out there in the wild, playing Thier Xbox or PS system or casual gaining on a mobile device, don't care about Pikmin or even know what it is.
At the time, the GCN was poorly thought of but how we all long now for a Nintendo system that's as powerful as the competitors AND hosts anything Nintendo wants to come up with. Sighhhh, hard times we live in.
How is this possibly the highest trafficked article on the site right now?!
