The PS3 can play all the Platinum games the Wii U doesn't have, besides infinite space. If you haven't beaten Vanquish or Metal Gear Rising yet, you should be doing so immediately. Also, the Vita had two kinds of memory cards, one type that you'd buy physical games on and another that would be used as the system storage and hold digital games. It wasn't buying games on cartridges that was horrifically overpriced, it was getting a card big enough to hold all your digital PS1/PSP/Vita games. The Wii U lets you expand the storage with any cheap USB HDD, so that wouldn't be the issue. However, is there that much of an advantage to playing games directly off a flash card compared to a hard drive? 3DS and Vita games still have loading times, and probably aren't nearly as fast as an SSD drive. The other consoles just install everything from game discs to the hard drive.

My feeling on Platinum games is I enjoy watching them much more than playing them. Thanks Chip and Ironicus

I called Nintendo about the physical ideas book that you can get if you buy a digital copy of the game and was told it was on back order because "it's turning out to be more popular than they expected." Oh Nintendo. They also changed the hold music from the OoT Hyrule field theme to something that sounds like it came from a Metroid game. I don't know why I notice these little things while forgetting to do important life stuff but video gamez I guess.

I picked up Wind Waker after a year or so and I have no idea what I was doing in it, sailed around for an hour. The boat says I'm supposed to find a new sage.

I said come in! posted:3DS cartridges are about 4GB, yeah. I mean you can obviously make cartridges that take more space but it starts to get exponentially more expensive to do this. So the trade off is that you have to accept that you cant develop these huge 10GB+ games. What? That doesn't make sense at all, that's like saying that the Wii U can be no more powerful than an nes because it can run nes games.

raditts posted:What? That doesn't make sense at all, that's like saying that the Wii U can be no more powerful than an nes because it can run nes games. He's talking about the actual cost of the solid-state cards themselves, which are exponentially more expensive than discs. There may also be issues addressing more than 4GB of memory on a single 3DS card, but I'm not as well-versed on that. If there isn't, though, then someone could make a 10+ gigabyte 3DS game, sure... and people would have to pay a hundred dollars for it. Honestly the only reason current handhelds use cards is because optical technology isn't that ideal for a handheld (the PSP ultimately proved that, despite how well it did in Japan) and even today making everything digital-download and pushing buying storage media off on the consumer is a dicey proposition on several fronts. And to address the original point, the desktop NX would never use card media in any event, as optical media is ideal for home non-travel use. If the theories about the NX being a unified architecture for a desktop and a handheld are true, we'll have to see what storage solution they go with on the handheld - the cards are ultimately most ideal from an ease-of-use standpoint, but the price of production has been a big sticking point with smaller publishers in particular for longer than I've even been in the industry.

Zas posted:carts vs cds 21st century edition, will the battle never end? Brief realtalk: for handheld/mobile devices, not for the forseeable future. A lot of the same properties that make optical media so good for desktop machines make it questionable technology for a portable device... but cartridge media is always going to be a hell of a lot more expensive to produce and rather punitive for smaller print runs as a result, making it harder for smaller publishers to do reasonable print runs of smaller, focused-interest games. Phones have it a little different as they can pretty much mandate 100% internet connectivity by fiat and thus the games can be digi-distro by default and the cost of storage media goes to the consumer in obtaining a general storage card, but for discrete devices, it'll always be a debate with no 100% perfect answer.

Small games don't bother with discs anymore, either, though?? This thread sometimes feels like a weird time capsule where digital distribution hasn't become the norm for everything, even 80gb games.

This thread sometimes feels like a weird time capsule where digital distribution hasn't become the norm for everything, even 80gb games. Digital-only games on any dedicated handheld, not just Nintendo hardware, tend to be incredibly hit-or-miss and also often faces surprising amounts of backlash from a subset of gamers who are heavily against not having a physical copy to potentially sell/trade in later on. Phones are, like I mentioned, a far different beast.

People who care about games not getting a physical release are a crazy small but vocal minority. Digital only makes more sense for handhelds because it increases their portability and the game sizes tend to be relatively small. The biggest problem would be losing support from physical stores, which could be offset by them selling download codes, which a lot already do.

I set out to pick up New Super Mario Bros U again to beat it before Mario Maker. Just beat it today, and the New gameplay finally clicked with me. I've played the rest, but mostly out of a need to play Mario and never really loved them, but something clicked (once I changed the controls) and I loved it.

Sakurazuka posted:People who care about games not getting a physical release are a crazy small but vocal minority. This isn't true at all., what dimension are you living in? People want physical releases because that means they have backup just in case data goes bonkers or whatever. This is why PSN has a ton of sales so you're only paying under 5 bucks for digital release games because they know that most people are not going to throw down 60 bucks for a brand new digital release. And if people didn't want physical game related stuff, poo poo like Skylanders and Amiibos would not have taken off. Because guess what? Those are Physical game releases taken to the extreme. They're 15 dollar DLC that have a physical form. Collector's Editions are another thing that people actively want.
