So 3D Mario and Mario Kart for the wiiU coming up? Or do they mean the DLC for NSMBu? Not that I'm not excited about the DLC but I'd prefer a new game in addition to it.

Yeah, if you look at the whole quote it`s talking about games in those franchises, so it`ll be talking about Wind Waker for sure. Still - new Mario Kart and Mario for Wii U in this financial year? The builds at E3 might be more complete than we thought.

Yeah, I'm starting to get excited for Nintendo's E3. It should start off a good second half of 2013. Pikmin, Super Luigi Bros. U, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Rayman Legends, Resident Evil Revelations U, Wii Fit U, Assassin's Creed 4, Watchdogs, Wind Waker U, The Wonderful 101, and Mario Kart U could all add up to a great recovery, especially if they put out a Mario Kart U bundle about two to four weeks before the PS4/Next Xbox hits so that they have strong sales going into the holidays. Even if sales don't pick up, at least we'll all have quite a few great games to play.

Strange Quark posted:I do want to point out that the Wii port of Okami has a tendency to freeze occasionally. If you do play it, make sure to save often. Huh. That is odd. I've played that game to death. (3 playthroughs spanning 60-80 hours each, plus a Let's Play spanning over a year) and I never had it freeze on me even once. (NTSC version, too). I'm aware of the HD version on PSN. Not an option for me, sadly. 20 bucks is a super reasonable price for such a great game, though. Part of me wishes they'd bring it to the Wii U, but the cynical part of my brain realizes it'll never happen.  Also, my copy of Pandora's Tower arrived yesterday. Haven't played it yet. I've been busy with my 3DS lately.

I'm excited for the awkward company reps trying to put positive spins on Generic FPS 3254: The Shootening, actors botching their cues while demonstrating supposedly "real" motion-based controls, and various other trainwrecks of assorted shapes and sizes. No matter how bad you expect it to be going in, it always somehow manages to come out worse. I can't wait.

Lego City Undercover frightens me a little. I'm fairly certain I'm in the home stretch of the story (I just did the special mission where you try to rob Forrest's house and get chased off by his security agents), and the completion rate's only somewhere around the 20-25% mark. The game's so packed with poo poo to find that there's whole groups of activities that I haven't even found instances of yet.

elf help book posted:I'm excited for the funniest E3 in years. Every E3 is the funniest E3. It's just a question of who will be the biggest unintentional comedian. Nintendo's presentations are usually a bit dry, though. They're the ones who remember that they're at the show to sell to corporate purchasers, not to make a spectacle of themselves. This year they're going to hit all the obvious notes, show the software that we all expect them to, and then get off stage. I predict one product that will be designed for the broader market that will utterly baffle nerds who will then make fun of it for months.

I kinda wish Yamauchi was still in charge. At least when he was launching consoles that didn't sell you knew he was also in a meeting room somewhere, yelling incoherently while taking a dump on a desk or something equally insane. Or maybe that was just a fever dream I had, I'm not sure.

Harry posted:I bought a Gamecube for this game and it did not disappoint. Nearly got the 3DS or whatever for the sticker one. Anyone have any suggestions for good Wii games to play while I wait for Nintendo to release something? A bit late on this, but don't get Super Paper Mario. The writing's decent, but the gameplay is hugely uninteresting and unchanging. Seriously, the final boss is defeated by jumping on him like 8-10 times depending on your level.

Alex WS posted:This happens every time. And ironically, those titles usually sell insane amounts (see: Wii Fit, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Wii Party). A lot of people seem to think E3 is made for them, and if every announcement isn't exactly the kind of game they want, they fill forums with angry whining for several days afterwards. see also: Wii Music, Vitality sensor, etc. Also nerds were the first big pushers of NSMB because we'd been starved of 2D platformers for like a decade. I forget if we'd learned to hate them by the time the Wii version came around, though.

I hope they pull a joke where they say "Here to introduce a new entry in a franchise you all are familiar with, it's one of our favorite E3 speakers from years past: Ravi Drums!" Ravi Drums comes out and introduces the new Zelda, which has absolutely nothing to do with drums.

Box of Bunnies posted:Complete global Satoruation. We can only hope. Iwata seems to know what he's doing, and seems to like telling us what he's doing, too. At least that's the feeling I get. By the way I know it's a port, but RE:Revelaitons is the best RE game since RE4 and gets back some of the creepy atmosphere and difficulty the older games had. You don't feel like you're the Macho Man full of machine guns and grenade launchers always, and there's the character/story swapping aspect so sometimes you can be the Macho Man (but he frequently finds himself in lovely situations where he can't be macho). It's more RE6 than RE5 or RE6-proper were, if that makes sense, and I think I read some developer interview where they agreed to that effect. Unless they somehow gently caress it up it should be fantastic on the Wii U.

I haven't picked one up since the first all those moons ago. Blacklist looks to be keeping the gameplay-style of the last one, Conviction, and that game was much closer to an action game than the stealth-oriented originals. If Blacklist looks cool, look into playing Conviction, it should be pretty cheap by now.

Konami's presentation that year was fantastic. Everything just meshed together and made you wonder if you were watching the real thing or a very good parody. The angry luchadors, the flamboyant japanese fellow with the dancing game, the choir singing along to Glee karaoke... Everything was so perfect. The only presentation that's near Konami's was the Nintendo one with Ravi Drums, Cammie Dunnaway being awkward, and Miyamoto and friends dancing to Wii Music. I keep hoping for such utter strangeness instead of only boredom.

Goron bongo drums, muckalucka. Also, Nintendo needs to have another E3 showing like 2010. Microsoft and Sony were plugging their new motion controls to lukewarm reception, Nintendo busted out a new Zelda*, new Donkey Kong, new Kirby, Goldeneye remake, new Other M footage, and Epic Mickey**. The difference is that they need to have a strong E3 at the beginning of the console's life cycle this time. That will get people excited about Wii U. *the Zelda demo was embarrassing, but the trailer was good and so were the show-floor impressions. **Epic Mickey sucked all the fucks, but at the time it looked really neat and was controlling better than Zelda

As much as I enjoyed Conviction, Blacklist's project lead just gave an interview where she claimed Splinter Cell has "limited appeal" from being too complex and requiring too much thinking. She literally used "thinking game" as a negative toward the franchise, which makes me think she either never played Conviction, or she's off her gourd. So, you know, it is looking more and more like a rental to me.

Oh yeah, the figures are $2 a piece. Forgotten Memories, originally just an iPad/iPhone game will be coming to the Wii U eShop this summer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHQ5s4SciLU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCmNjQQEMP8 I guess it borrows a bit from Eternal Darkness. A good thing!

Paper Jam Dipper posted:Pokémon Rumble U, a.k.a. Skylanders Nintendo got a few detail updates. I think this is a missed opportunity. Instead of launching an eshop game with bulky Pokemon figures, they should have released a big-rear end adventure game cross-compatible on Wii U and 3DS (the 3DS could scan a code under the figures, or have the NFC chip in the game card or something). And the figures should look like proper Pokemons. I don't doubt this will make a ton of money, but I think it could potentially make many times more of given a bigger, more widely appealing treatment.

True, but I still think they would be more appealing if they weren't so drat blocky. Look like caricatures or something. VVVV Yeah I know that, but most people know and prefer the traditional look, which is why I think that would make the toys more appealing. Third edit: Just saw the video. That game looks dull as leaves. Can't imagine people above 12 getting much fun out of it. uncle blog fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Apr 24, 2013 |
