Its the same poo poo banjo kazooie nuts &bolts had where even if it is a good game in itself, people have come to expect a ceartin thing from a series, including its main character. It honestly would have been better off as its own IP.

I've not actually seen or play it, but does it have any actual interesting characters or is it just a bunch of nameless space marines in the metroid universe?

It has exactly as many interesting characters as other Metroid Prime games.

Thing is, the only real avenues available for them to improve third party support are with indies and the sorts of mid-tier/budget Japanese titles currently coming mainly to PS4 and Vita. AAA support just doesn't align with the demographics Nintendo has any understanding of or interest in how to reach.

I wanna hear what people think is "reasonably priced" for this console. Let's just assume the rumors are true and that its between a Wii U and PS4 power-wise, detachable controls, plugs into the TV to make it a regular console, etc - what would people want to pay for that? I have a feeling they'd need to keep it at $350 or below. And probably $299 would be the actual price.

I think 250 max. That's how much the Xbox One costs now.

I think $250 is probably doable. The NVidia console and gaming tablet sell for $200, and that's from a company that doesn't make anything off of licensing or have their own software to make up for losses(just minimum accessories), so they probably aren't selling it at a loss. From every indication the NX is like a Shield with fancier/detachable controls and a charging base with tv out. If they can sell a portable twice as strong as WiiU and maybe throw in a pack in, I think $250 is a very enticing price.

But who knows, they may have to charge 300 for the thing.

That would be suicide for something multiple sources claim it's supposed to be a mass target, casual audience device. Even $250 would be pushing it.

No glasses 3D didn't sell the 3DS for $250 and detachable controls are not going to sell the NX for $250 either.

I actually liked the playable dudes in metroid prime hunters, they were fun to play as and had thier own unique weapons and morph ball mode.
Federation force seems like its the same type of character but different colored for everyone so it just looks like a step back despite being in development for so long.

Didn't Reggie say recently that he knew price point was a problem with the 3DS and the Wii U? I think they're gonn try their darnedest to hit <250, even if it they end up at a weird price like 219.99

It's about $100 per USB port, so two of those plus the rest of the system and we're looking at a $250 price tag. It's simple mathematics.

If the rumors of scrollwheel shoulder buttons are true, one should be a dedicated boob slider that works in all games.

I would also accept a pair of tits as an amiibo that adds boob-features to any game when scanned. Especially pikmin and nintendogs.

You can't die in Nintendo games anymore. If you lose enough health or fall down a pit a Lakitu will pick you up and Miyamoto shows up in the game to apologize for the inconvenience and offers to complete the game for you.

I thought that was because they cheaped out on the DVD tray and didn't put those little plastic tabs on it to save 0.2¢ per unit.

AFAIR it only affected vertical operation and got me with with that; had to rearrange my TV area to have it horizontal.

Good. All those 562 were from a single site full of garbage shovelware so they were basically just lined up for them. I enjoy seeing commenters whine and talk about how Nintendo only shuts these games down because they're jealous.

No, Nintendo doesn't give two shits about these games, they have a legal division that's more or less autonomous and one of that division's jobs is to enforce their IP. That side of the company doesn't care about pr or fanboy feelings nor should it, and it doesn't seek out Reggie's approval to act.

AM2R is great, big props on the guy who made it, but there's absolutely nothing to complain about(and the creator isn't complaining). It's out now, and it's out forever, and extremely easy to find.
