Mennonites Revenge posted:I think it's great how Nintendo's allowing the complaints to show up on the launch screen of every Internet-connected Wii U in America. Of course, I doubt they'd do that if people were, say, criticizing a Zelda delay. Nintendo has been pretty good about free speech. Last I checked people were posting complaints about games and it never got pulled. They seem wishy washy however on the whole "you can't draw celebrities" thing though.

Chaltab posted:What's wrong with the 3DS version? One thing is on the normal 3DS display it is hard to distinguish what is going on because the original was so detailed. It just doesn't transfer as well the smaller screen, especially when the main character who is tiny to begin with gets even smaller. The controls also seem to be less responsive to me. The Wii version is fantastic however.

The Wii U has a Madden, it's just that it was literally Madden 12, and not even in the joking "all Madden games are the same" sense, but literally Madden 12 with the number changed on the title screen. Which is, whatever, it's a launch game. But if EA has no confidence in selling a Madden title at the 9-12 month mark of the system being out, then what is their general level of confidence in the system? Madden historically has been a guaranteed seller no matter what it's put on. EA already phoned in their support at launch, but if they're already giving up on the system, and they're the top show in town, it's... concerning, to say the least.

Nintendo and EA have pretty much had a falling out and we all know this. That said, Nintendo would be smart to once again create a Nintendo Sports division like they used to have in the 90s and get to work on their own games to make up for the loss.

They did the same with FIFA and I agree that if they are not releasing the "proper" versions of Madden/FIFA 14 for WiiU that's a serious sign of distrust and an issue for the WiiU. However, that doesn't change the fact that no one should ever cite, source, link, quote, or even outright acknowledge Kotaku or Gawker in general.

Rack posted:Tecmo Super Bowl 2013, and I'll settle for nothing less. Agreed. Actually, I think Nintendo should walk in with a "CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES" by making NHL Stanley Cup, have Tecmo license a Super Bowl game and convince Sega to make World Series again exclusive to the Wii U. Then just add a PGA Pro Tour game, convince WWE to give them the license for a Wrestlemania game (DLC: Star Man, Hayabusa, Amazon, Panther, Kin Korn Karn, Great Puma, King Slender) and top it off with a soccer game.

All this doom and gloom being called for Nintendo is utterly ridiculous. Nintendo is not hurting. Every time a new system comes out everyone screams about the death of one of the big 3, as if the market can't support 3 consoles at the same time. Calling the Dreamcast out for the death of Sega isn't a fair comparison either, because Sega had major issues even before the Dreamcast came out and was hurting even before then. Sega already had a history of releasing systems they lost money on. From the 32x, to the Sega CD, to the Saturn, Sega had issues. Nintendo hasn't had a problem. The N64 and GameCube were both insanely profitable. The GBA, SP, and DS made them millions. The 3DS is outselling all the other consoles right now. The Wii U is outselling the Vita. Unlike Sega, Nintendo doesn't need the 3rd parties to survive. Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, and Metroid sell consoles. The Wii U is selling slow, sure, but only one game from their big franchises has been released. People don't buy the Wii or the Wii U for the typical brofest games like Madden and Tiger Woods and Call of Duty. I can sort of see an argument for Tiger Woods, but once again that's not a game that sells a console. The Wii U is the system you buy to play Nintendo games, and when you have a few friends over to play party games with. Just like the Wii in most "hardcore" gamer houses, gamers will buy it for a few exclusives and for the few games to do multiplayer in the same living room. Meanwhile they'll buy either a PS3 or an Xbox for their Madden fix, and their online gaming and their Call of Duty. I didn't buy a Wii U because I want to play the 3rd party games that I can get on any other system. I bought a Wii U because of Mario, Zelda, and Pikmin 3. That is what most gamers will do. That's what they've been doing since the N64.

I am not concerned because of Nintendo doom and gloom, I am only concerned that the Wii U is going to seriously lack in quantity of titles. And not just quality titles but titles period, if major publishers are considering washing their hands of it. Nintendo could have five consoles fail in a row and not be worried about their bottom line. I only care about my purchase. Even the Sonic the Hedgehog cycle got broken, not every cycle has to be perpetually observed for the rest of time.

Yeah, I'm not concerned about Nintendo dying (they weathered much worse), but I hope this doesn't turn into another Gamecube era, where most of the third parties just don't bother and it just almost entirely 1st and 2nd party games. Of course it could be like the Wii era, where it had third party support, but it also had a flood of bad shovelware.

Yeah, when you see developers straight-up snub a platform that can easily support the 360/PS3 generation titles they're making, that's when you have to wonder what's happening in behind-closed-doors meetings between Nintendo and third parties.

I might be pissed if I could only own one console or something, but does that really matter? I mean, thinking back on it I was pretty happy with the Wii, Gamecube and even N64 in spite of a similar situation. There wasn't quantity and a lot of lull periods but none of them really got shafted over the life of the system in terms of games I actually remember or have any desire to ever play again. The N64 being the absolute low-point there.

Honestly everything I've wanted to play PS3/360 wise has come to PC, the Assassin's Creeds, Batman, Dark Souls, Prototype, GTA, Saints Row, Farcry, Crysis and a shitton more. The main thing I look for in a console is local multiplayer and since my friends have kids and the such Nintendo local multiplayer works out even better.

Both are true, the problem is when people take "it sure would be nice if Madden were on the Wii U" to the level of "Madden isn't on the Wii U? NINTENDO IS DOOMED AND GOING BANKRUPT  which is exactly what happened in that terrible Kotaku article. Yes, it sucks that 3rd parties are ignoring the Wii U, but it doesn't spell the end of Nintendo. That's all I'm saying.

Buying Nintendo consoles simply for their first party game is a given but having little outside of that is going to leave the system with long periods of game stagnation and a less diversify lineup. I love Nintendo but I can't justify buying their console just to play their games every few months and I am sure others feel the same. Having little third party support is a huge negative no matter how you cut it.

I really don't know why people are so insistant on their choice being the majority's choice. It can't be both, according to track record. So I just make due with what we've got. Ideally all the titles would be out for all the platforms. For me that's not a deal-breaker though, because I'm perfectly happy with my current setup and I don't feel like I have missed much. In fact, I can't think of a single exclusive game that I really wish I had the chance to play. To be fair, this could be attributed to me not paying attention to the other console titles, but my point is that I have played all of the things that I wanted, and if I didn't, I didn't miss them anyway. This works for me, if it doesn't for you then that's ok too. I'm not trying to force my buying habits on other people, I just hate all the "Oh no the (Nintendo Console) is a failure" line of thinking when that is clearly not the case.

I wish they hadn't messed up on Jam and Blitz for these consoles. NBA Jam On Fire Edition was really close to being great. If it had better post release support, it might have been my favorite XBLA game. It was really surprising when they recently updated the roster in that game.

weird bleep posted:Monster Hunter isn't anything like Pokemon and it isn't a JRPG, so if that is why you are interested in it you might want to read about it some more. Yeah. The best way I can describe Monster Hunter is that it's just the bosses from Dark Souls only much more fleshed out and you find them in the wild eating berries, and then you make giant swords and lance-guns out of their body parts. It is also pretty hard as balls, even with a lot of assistance the advanced bosses can absolutely wreck the best teams if they're not really careful, whereas in Dark Souls all the bosses become jokes if you get even one phantom to help.

Indeed. I'm a little confused though, it's a remake of a 2010 game? With more stuff, I see, but outside of those who haven't gotten into monster hunter and start now, why would they be making this instead of a whole new game? Perhaps I misread, but now that I've looked it up, I actually want it more. Quite the pleasant surprise. Thank you for telling me how far off I was.
