Quest For Glory II posted:Werent GBA games also coming? They're not featured either, unless I missed something. That's just a launch window trailer, I presume. Japan got an explicit list of what will be available at launch, I dunno why they didn't do that for other regions, too.

I'll be happy if they get Wario 4, Zero Mission and Minish Cap on there. I don't have the carts anymore.

Canned Panda posted:The biggest thing bothering me right now is how many people are complaining that there isn't DLC for Wii U versions of games. Which Wii U games dont have DLC that the other systems are getting? If this beings A Thing, it sucks because the Wii U version will simply have less than the other versions of the game game. Even if that extra stuff that its missing ends up costing money, the Wii U players wouldnt even have a choice to blow the money or wait for a GOTY edition. Edit: Injustice DLC not coming to Wii U? Wow they really dont give a gently caress. Gutcruncher fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Apr 21, 2013 |

Alex WS posted:I wish people would stop using that word. It's confusing as it doesn't really mean anything, and makes people uncertain if you mean upscaling or re-rendering at a higher resolution. I'm guessing the N64 games that supported 480 vertical lines of resolution were rendered in that resolution (or switchable, as the case was in some games: Episode 1 Racer, Duke Nukem Zero Hour), and the ones at 240 were upscaled to 480. On the Wii U I'm almost certain the same will be the case, except they will be further upscaled to whatever resolution you have set your console to. Just like in Wii mode in other words. I'm however certain that they will not re-render them at a higher resolution than what the game originally supported.

I'm however certain that they will not re-render them at a higher resolution than what the game originally supported. Actually, N64 games on the virtual console were rendered at 640x480, even though most games were 320x240. It's much easier to emulate a simple 3D system like the N64 using high level emulation, where it interprets commands like "draw a polygon" for the graphics card to render. Low level emulation would be replicating every pixel, which is more accurate but also a lot slower, and cannot be used at a higher resolution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BZAvdeS-5s The video on the right is a tool-assisted speed run, but it's being done on a Wii. You can see things like the fence in the opening is a lot more distinct on the Wii version.

The Wii U version of Black Ops 2 isn't getting any of the new maps?? Wh... Why? That's, like, the easiest and most obvious kind of DLC to put up on the eshop, from a company who LOVES DLC. They shouldn't even have to do any special stuff for the Wii U version since it has parity with the other versions.

They don't think they'd sell. That's what it keeps coming back to. The phrase "it gets worse before it gets better" exists for situations such as the Wii U's.

Lizard Wizard posted:Maybe they just weren't on the sizzle reel because they're not as iconically "retro" as NES and SNES games? I want to bet its more along the lines of them not having their N64 Emulator working at the capacity they want it to, I mean we don't know when we're getting N64 games yet, just that they're coming. I can't wait till they do get N64 games up and running though, having Restore Points at the least was sorely missed with their WiiVC N64 games, though I recall Neo-Geo games having the same issue.

They must hate money, as far as I know there is no quota before making cash on the eShop so the very first sale makes profit. Since the work is done, if they don't want to monetize it they could at least release it as a patch, as Nintendo doesn't charge publishers for patches.

That's a bit naive to think that would happen. Nintendo can't just take a fan produced translation and use it even if offered for free. Besides the legal issues, Nintendo can't trust modifications to their games from an outside source; even if we "know" that its harmless Nintendo has be absolutely certain of it and confirming that would require essentially the same effort as translating it again. But let's pretend that issue doesn't exist either. The quality assurance would be a nightmare and a half. The translation is only a fraction of the work needed to release Mother 3. Basically, it's impossible for Nintendo to take that translation and use it.

I don't know where you got the idea that they would just slap it on. Even the article has the translator saying it could be used as a starting point or a way for official translators to cut down on their time. I've heard of a company using an unofficial translation before to help them with speeding up a translation. Not sure what game it was but I think it was a Square Enix game. Also, don't see where the legal issues are when the guy said he's giving it no questions asked. Anyway, translation jobs should always be rushed and done by Ted Woosley.

So does the phrase "It gets worse before you realize you completely missed your window of opportunity." Nintendo cannot just continue on their present course and expect the games industry to come to them. With the Ps4 and the 720 launching, their claim to third party games is gonna get even thinner.

If that happens, all three are screwed beyond belief, and the industry is likely to crash. With very few exceptions for the absolute creme de la creme, the pinnacle of what the craft can do (Braid, Journey, and Minecraft being pretty much it) no-one puts down hundreds of dollars for indie games.

That loving Sned posted:I don't really mind about the Wii U's sales or release schedule, because the only reason I have it is to play Nintendo games. It's not something I'd like to have as my primary console, because despite being pretty hardcore into Nintendo when the Wii came out, I ended up buying all five PlayStation consoles to fill the time. So many people today take this position, yet for some reason it's heresy to suggest that Nintendo exclusively become a software developer, as if it's a major defeat if Nintendo acknowledges that there's no reason anymore for them to be building their own home consoles.

Watch us get the GBA version of Yoshi's Island instead of the SNES version. On that same note, watch us not get Star Fox. My naive assumption is that emulating early Super FX games should be possible on Wii U hardware since games like StarFox and Stunt Race FX were emulated on late 90s PCs. Perhaps there are other technical issues.
