Katana Gomai posted:No matter how much you try to deny it, a single touch, resistive tablet is outdated tech for the sake of keeping the price of the console down. That doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad thing, I fits the bill in terms of being a cool controller for the WiiU; it would just be terrible at being anything but. There are real benefits from using a resistive touch screen that aren't directly related to keeping the price down, though; it's not just a case of people trying to rationalise paying so much for an "outdated" controller or whatever.

As far as I know, there's no mandate that everything be lumped together in a huge megathread. I get something like 95% of my gaming news and information from this forum, so if I don't see a game mentioned here (which can be difficult if it's buried in a 100+ page thread) I probably won't know that it even exists.

Yeah I thought part of the point of them going with resistive was because it's way easier to do something like draw on it (which you'd need to do for maps or whatever). The only thing I can't imagine is how you could do something like that "throw a ninja star" thing they always show. I'd think you'd need to press down a bit hard while flying your hand across the screen which I thought might be weird, but I'd imagine a reviewer would have mentioned this.

Didn't some reviewer say exactly that? As in, he had to repeat gestures because the screen didn't accept them? I think it was quoted a few pages ago.

Did they improve the technology from the DS to the 3DS? It seems like my 3DS is way netter at recognizing fingerpresses than my DS.

If you plan on spending $500 on full-price retail games and DLC in the next 2 years (and don't mind not being able to sell them back or needing an external HDD to hold them) then I think it's a no-brainer to go for the Deluxe even if you don't care about Nintendoland or the added stands and cradles packed in.

Yeah it would probably be worth it, I know one place I may get one on launch day but otherwise it might take me a while which is why I'm nervous cancelling my white one. Oh well I might as well.

Why would you cancel a preorder instead of either flipping it or returning it/not picking it up once you secured your other console?

Miyamotos RGB NES posted:Yeah I thought part of the point of them going with resistive was because it's way easier to do something like draw on it (which you'd need to do for maps or whatever). Bingo on the drawing thing. Nintendo doesn't make touchscreen devices so you can navigate content not originally created for it, they make them so you can use them to communicate, and drawing/writing on a capactive screen sucks. Inchworm animation (a dsi software download) is more advanced than any drawing app released on iOS/Android by adobe or Autodesk for this reason alone. As soon as everyone remembers to use your fingernail rather than finger on the Wii U will ensure it always reads its single input with extreme accuracy, the better we will be. I guess pinch to zoom would be nice, but google's already shown you can do it with a single input gesture in maps (double tap hold then drag up or down).

Question. What % of Nintendoland games need motion plus and are those multiplayer. I have enough wiimotes and nunchucks, but I only have 1 wiimotion plus (zelda  ) Im wondering if I should pickup some adapters.

I'm really not a fan of capacitive touch. I find it feels less immediately responsive, and I absolutely hate having to tap a target smaller than the pad of my finger and hope the device interprets me correctly. I generally prefer using a stylus as well, which gives resistive the edge.

I plan on trading in my old white Wiimotes/Nunchucks/Motion+ adapters (I have 2 of each) and getting a black Wiimote+/Nunchuck/Pro. I think one of each should suffice me for a while. Plus, as of last week, I'm eligible for a Gamestop employee discount

zenintrude posted:Nintendo Land - 4/5 IGN review. (8.7) Also Mario (9.1) I'd have grabbed both of those regardless but it's good to see that they're quality outings. What I'm really waiting for are some ZombiU reviews - I'm still on the fence with that one but I hope it turns out as well as it looks like it could.

Do IGN's reviews always read like press releases or did Nintendo just hand them a review to run? Joystiq's review is a lot less written like an advertisement, I'll go with what they say about these games.

New Super Mario Bros U: 8.5/10 quote:New Super Mario Bros. 2 was a good game, but I couldn't help feeling disappointed with it. The first New Super Mario Bros. felt like a breath of fresh air, a welcome return to the past in an age where such simplicity had been forgotten. The right bit of nostalgia at the right time can feel incredibly new.

Was there anyone here that really thought it'd be anything less than an 80? I dunno, to me an 80+ in a genre I like with a brand I like is usually a great purchase for me.

Could have been a cash-grab upscale of NSMBWii with some NSMB2 thrown in and you would have seen scores in the 60s. But it's not, there's new stuff there, and apparently people are appreciating the effort.

Yeah I thought part of the fun of those games was jumping on everyone's head and throwing people off cliffs making it impossible to go anywhere. At least that's how my roommates and I play.  The Nintendo Land review actually has me a bit worried. Most of the mini-games don't seem that fun. Still, it's a pack-in for me so if it's mediocre it's not the end of the world.
