If you get art academy can you only post those awesome paintings in the art academy mii verse? Or can you post them anywhere.

The nice thing about the N64 having so few games is that in all seriousness I think I played almost every single N64 game from launch through 1998. They came out at a slow enough rate that I remember doing weekly trips to Blockbuster and picking out whatever was new. Should probably write my mom the biggest thank you card right now for letting me do that...

Ahh, the N64, the point at which I got an allowance and was able to rent any game I wanted every other week. Think I coulda bought Banjo-Kazooie solely from renting it so often, I got 100% at least twice since both times I'd get the game home and find somebody had deleted all the saves. I remember one time I rented Quest 64 and didn't realize I needed a memory card to save, so I beat that game by leaving the N64 on for the entire week, which was actually 10 days. The only game I actually saved up money to buy was Perfect Dark, everything else I either got with the N64 or rented from the movie store down the street. They weren't Blockbuster, but they were cheaper and had old SNES games like Super Metroid and EarthBound, so they were obviously superior. Man, when I get my WiiU I don't think I'll even care that I need to go into "Wii Mode", I'm gonna buy so many N64 games and purposefully wake up early on Saturdays so I can eat a big bowl of sugar with some cereal on top and play blurry rear end games all day.  ... okay maybe I'll skip that last part.

robodex posted:The Wii U's lineup is really anemic still, sorry. Every time I walk past the Wii U section at the huge EB Games here in Toronto I notice they literally have to put some games on the rack in multiple places in order to actually fill the racks. This is the biggest EB Games in the country that has a ton of really hard-to-find games (it still has a PS2 section for chrissake) yet the Wii U section can barely fill one rack of games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_U_games I think there are enough Wii U retail games out there to fill a rack if they wanted. Also it is getting better right now, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Wind Waker HD, Sonic Lost World, Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze + all the multiplats (Rayman Legends, Arkham Origins, Asscreed IV, Watchdogs, etc...) just for 2013 along with games already out such as NSMB U, Luigi U, Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Zombi U, multiplats and digital only games. I don't know if this is a sizable library but it certainly looks like one to me at least. Kurtofan fucked around with this message at 09:35 on Sep 9, 2013 |

These were the games I had within the first year of the system. Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64 at lunch. Mortal Kombat Trilogy in October, November with Wave Race 64, Killer Instinct Gold, and Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey. Shadows of the Empire and Crusin' USA in December. NBA Hangtime in January, Blast Corps, Mario Kart and Turok in February, Star Fox in July, Goldeneye in August, Diddy Kong Racing and WCW/nWo World Tour in November, All awesome games...

zenintrude posted:I would like someone to break down the PS4 and Xbone libraries 10 months out and see where they stand... how many shootmans they will have. High budget video games with Hollywood B-movie story plots shoved into a cover shooter are the latest craze! It's a shame Nintendo isn't capitalizing on the trend, because the market is there for people who want to watch a movie but sometimes click on a bad guy's head while hiding behind a chest-high wall and sometimes QTEs.

It deserves a pass. Also Wii Sports did the same thing. Wii U gave us the 16th revision of "new" Super Mario Bros. which made the launch boring.

Strange Matter posted:If Nintendo was smart they'd be the first company to put a MOBA on a console. In Smash Brothers style. What you described is basically exactly Awesomenauts, already available on ps3 / xbox / pc / etc. It's really well made and a lot of fun, but the console version is the weakest because MOBAs, by definition, require a lot of patching and tweaking before things are perfectly balanced, and if things aren't perfectly balanced then players leave. Can't find a video without obnoxious voiceovers but this one shows a full game on the ps3 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-TNSsPzAys

Would have been an interesting foray into F2P for them as well (they'd make mountains of cash with a Dota-esque business model), but instead they went with Steel loving Diver. That said, I don't know if Nintendo's developers have the ability (or inclination, for that matter) to balance a game like that for competitive play or to implement the many online features that the genre requires.

Sony just announced a Vita box which plays, "play certain PS Vita games, as well as downloadable PSOne and PSP games." Should Nintendo respond by making a 3DS Player for the Wii U?

Yes. Being able to play your 3DS games on a big screen would be huge... and I fully expect it to happen now that Nintendo has shown to be flexable on their 3D obsession with the 2DS.

Yes. Because I just purchased Fire Emblem and wouldn't mind playing it on a big screen. I mean, they plan on incorporating the 3DS and the Wii U anyways; and it could actually benefit the Wii U as well.

3DS games probably wouldn't look all that great on a big-rear end TV. Also, Sony did this to boost Vita (game) sales, admitting that the handheld itself is pretty much a failure. The 3DS, on the other hand, is a huge success.
