It seems insignificant, but I believe that the name did affect sales. Brand confusion and the whole "Wii expansion" deal comes into play. Super Wii or Wii 2, or better yet, a whole new name would be ideal.
Ooooh, nice little turnaround at the end, pal. Still could've used a less clickbait-y headline, though.
I totally remember the Pokemon one. I fell for it, I admit.
The first thing I thought of after reading the headline was when Nintendo Power made an April Fools' joke about unlocking Sonic and Tails in SSB: Melee...and everyone believed it. It was something like defeating 50 wireframes in Cruel Melee. Talk about a sick joke.
They haven't been this popular to the mainstream in years. I'd expect them to be enlisted for a game soundtrack sooner than later.
The people who actually like Bioshock already own it on PC, 360 or PS3. The people who routinely play games on iOS aren't going to buy a game like this. This is a classic example of targeting the wrong demographic.
Sony should at least offer a PS Now discount for them or something.
I kinda would like to beat Rayman up in Smash, but I still feel like there are much better choices for third-party characters than Rayman. My views, though.
RE5 was a decent action game, but a terrible horror game. RE6 was a bad everything.
Yeah, I don't see the point of this comparison other than to stir up the fanboys.
"I don't think the cellphone idea is good either. I think it's possible for there to be a good CEO that doesn't agree with that, or Iwata's "Please don't make us compete with our competitors!! I'm scaarrred" tactics.
Also, long before cellphones were desperately brought up, people were calling for his resignation for WiiU's horrible performance until then"
The cellphone argument is the main point brought up supp...
I thought the wood background on the Nintendo Directs were funny, like he was filming the videos all by himself from some cabin in a forest somewhere.
You don't seem to understand that this isn't about just getting Iwata out, but who will replace him. If the reason for this rumored infighting is actually that he won't put games on smartphones, then that's a problem.
Who do you think they'd get to replace him? Someone who caters to the casual crowd further with smartphone releases of Mario? That's not how you establish a brand. That's devaluing it. It's also a really easy way to take a chunk o...
Not all dubs are bad, and if you think they are, you're being just as narrow-minded as the people boycotting the game because it has no English dub. People who bash dubs must be really new to anime and JRPGs, because lemme tell ya, things have gotten a LOT better since the days of the Ocean Group DBZ dub. Most official dubs I've seen are competent and stay true to the original dialogue and story. They are okay.
Sure, I've found myself watching subs more often than...
No apologism here. These prices are not reasonable and something needs to done to fix them before the full launch.
Wow, talk about pieces of trash...
Yeah, it doesn't really matter if it's a beta or not if Sony is asking for money during the beta participation.
Nintendo treats online multiplayer the way the rest of the industry treats local multiplayer.
Cross-buy? No. Upgrade system for those who already bought it, but want to see what the new stuff's all about? Absolutely.
First-party and third-party exclusive are not the same thing.
Not so much "bad", more like "pointless." iOS gamers don't usually care about games like Bioshock.
