A comment like that just shows either you haven't been playing video games that long or you fail to pay attention. The Wii was the FIRST and ONLY home console Nintendo has brought out that was not top teir for its generation. It's also the first generation that Sony has actually had one up on Nintendo.
NES, SNES, N64, GameCube. All more powerful spec wise than the competition. Tho carts did hold the N64 back. And the Xbox ended up beating the GameCube in the power dep...
It always confuses me when people say "waiting for the PS4 and 720", you have a system that "named" game companies are calling next gen hardware coming out this year and you are going to wait for unannounced consoles?
I love all three companies, sure i have favorites just like everyone, but i am not going to wait for something that hasn't even been officially announced while there is a new system released and ready to go.
Sure if what...
I love it how when Nintendo launches without a Mario or Zelda the fans scream blue murder, the same applies if fans are waiting 3-4 years for a new one. But if rumors are there's a new Mario or Zelda coming soon, or that there may be one for launch, people berate Nintendo for not giving them a rest and wanting new IP's. Which btw they have tried themselves with 2nd party developers owned by them. But people generally ignore them and buy....what was it again...Mario and Zelda instead!!...
That's just not true at all, Chain of Memories on GBA had all the "exclusive" Final Fantasy characters in it from Kingdom Hearts 1. And Kingdom Hearts : Re : Coded had Cloud and Squall (Leon). And that's just off the top of my head. There is no truth what so ever in this "playstation exclusive Final Fantasy characters" rumor, Square can put whatever characters they created in whatever they want.
Knowing Square they could pull a God of War HD, by that I mean have the PS2 games as Kingdom Hearts : Remembrance including KH1&2 and Re:Com, then do a "Volume 2" Kingdom Hearts HD Remix with the side story handheld games. I wouldn't put it past them considering they are planning on releasing Final Fantasy X HD, one single game, when they could have Final Fantasy 12 or Dirge of Cerburus in there with it >.<
If this is true....OMG..I'm speechless. If it does have all those titles it will be the best HD collection yet! I expected a rushed HD filter with perhaps 1&2 and Re:Com, but not the DS and PSP game too. And rumor that it will have extra sections to tie the games together, this is better news than getting the Final Mix versions, it's like having Re: Final Mix's lol! Day 1 purchase if it turns out to be true!!
That's good news for most of the world, if you don't live in major metropolitan areas of America or Japan, possibly UK (I dunno what their speeds are like) you wouldn't even entertain the thought of a console like that. Hell some poor countries still have tiny Internet caps on a per month basis. There are also a portion of people that don't even have wifi or their current consoles online. The world as a whole isn't ready for a download only console and worldwide sales woul...
Square has already said officially that Dragon Quest X is making the jump from the Wii to the Wii U, so that should really have been 100%. And there's no way after 6 years and the abundance of hardware that's cheap and accessible, especially to a giant like Nintendo, that the Wii U "isn't going to be that much more powerful than the PS3". Even if they use the cheapest most standard tech that's around currently, it's going to be leagues ahead of the PS3 and its 6 ...
It's batshit crazy to think for a second that even using generic cheap graphics card from today's market that a new machine "will be just as good" as six year old hardware, and even six years ago what was in the 360 and PS3 wasn't new. Today's low end cards for PC beat the crap out of what's in the current consoles. Imagine the low price Nintendo will pay to buy in bulk being a big company.
Many NAMED developers and studios have said they are imp...
@Mikefizzled
Yea, because more money in the bank than Sony and Microsoft's seperate gaming divisions combined as stated in financial reports earlier this year. Along with their reported ability to be able to take a loss like the last reported one, every year till 2052 and still be in the black isn't a lot of money >.<
You should read the financial reports on each company before assuming Nintendo is the one without cash and doing badly. Just a qu...
$10.5 Billion US in the bank, $6 Billion US held in investments, and able to take a $250 Million US loss every year till 2052 and still be in the black, and people are writing doom and gloom articles?
Nintendo isn't going anywhere anytime soon, just another sensationalized article for hits. It's been said time and again that Nintendo has more money in the bank and invested than both Sony and Microsofts gaming divisions combined. Why people ignore financial facts and ...
That's one of the early promotional posters, it has been around for ages. Unless they decided to use that as the cover i would imagine that this is just a placeholder they decided to use on Amazon. It's official artwork but not box art.
No Doom? The father of FPS gaming, the reason the genre exists, the cult phenomenon. This list is automatic fail. Should have been a "best FPS games this gen with a few others thrown in" or a "best FPS in the last 10 years" or something list. Best FPS of all time list this is not.
The fact that no one knows ANYTHING about what is inside the Wii U console and you profess to have secret inside information that it is running a low end 2008 GPU makes your whole rather biased personal opinion moot.
You also assume that the PS4 and 720 will feature GPU's from the same year that they are released, which NEVER happens in consoles as it would make them retardedly expensive, especially for a console. But yet again even this statement is not valid as we know ...
Always late? Shows this guy is a newbie to the gaming scene. NES, better than other consoles at the time. SNES, better tech than other consoles at the time. N64, better tech than other consoles at the time, only limited by its choice to still use carts. Gamecube, better tech than the PS2 and topped only by the Xbox at the time. Until you come to the Wii, the ONLY console Nintendo has ever made that was worse than its competition tech wise.
If you are gunna use that logic then...
Taking anonymous quotes from unnamed studios as truth over actual named big studios that poo-pooed the Wii and are now praising the Wii U is just showing bias that you want it to be a failure rather than looking at the evidence at hand.
Id take Epic and Crytek and EA's critique over a smaller studio like Vigil's. But even so many companies like Vigil have had old dev kits and then had them replaced with better and better ones as has been stated in many interviews. If ...
Anyone who in their right mind thinks that the Wii U won't be any better or will only "just" be better than 6 year old tech (probably even more than 6 considering both 360 and PS3's tech was outdated even before it's launch) is delusional. Plain and simple.
You can go down to your local computer super store and buy standard budget line cpu's and gpu's and ram that are leagues ahead of the ancient stuff in the 360 and PS3. Then you think Nintendo...
You sir win the Internet until such time as someone else manages to make me laugh or impress me more than you just did! Awesome stuff.
I thought the game was for Sony All-Stars? Crash was Sony exclusive back in the PS1 days but he isn't and hasn't been now for even longer than he was back then. As for Gex, he was never a Sony exclusive character.
Crash is more likely than Gex due to the history of the character with Sony, but even so they would have to do some deals with the studios who now own the characters, Activision and Square.
Unless they are going the route of having non-Sony ...
I couldn't care less who's winning or losing an invisible war. I buy a console to play games I like and have fun playing. I don't devote myself to one company and deprive myself of all the potential fun another offers. If I cared about who was first I wouldn't have brought a Dreamcast and loved every minute of playing all the awesome exclusives it had.
Damnit...thinking about that makes me want Sega back in the console market again, more competition is always...
