  1. Here's an enhanced version of my video Fixed the script, voice over, editing and other things.
  2. I'm starting to get a bit worried. The game world seems kind of barren and Nintendo haven't really shown any semblance of a story apart from the intro. Hope there'll be a proper size city and some story progression.
  3. Absolutely gorgeous environments. Love that lighting.
  4. Hopefully Nintendo for once will unveil performance and not pretend they're Rols Royce and say that it's "adequate".
  5. First off, it wouldn't be the first time a crowdfunded game gets a promised version or feature dropped. Second... Who said they can't release for both?
  6. I seriously hope noone at Nintendo thought that. I completely agree that the Switch VC shouldn't be a freaking reset. Basically, the Switch VC should be upgraded to emulate games as well as the NES Mini, all games available for Wii U should be available for the Switch from day one and upgrading from Wii U to Switch should be free of charge. Basically, VC should do for future Nintendo consoles what Steam does for PC, only with older content.
  7. Check it out: http://wiiudaily.com/2015/10/twilight-princess-hd-on-wii-u/ What do you guys think? True? And if so, do you say Yay or Nay? Personally, I think that if it hits store shelves in time for christmas, I may say yay. If it comes after, I say Nay.
  8. It's more than the Xbox 360 had. Technically, there's no reason Nintendo couldn't do it.
  9. None of which have been confirmed. Let this be a reminder:
  10. It means that noone's announcing anything, even though nothing is holding them back. Which could mean that they don't have anything in development.
  11. Ummm... That does NOT bode well.
  12. Nintendo Switch Presentation 13th Jan 2017

    I know that they said 2017 before, but geez. Not showing any games and having an embargo on third parties until two months before releas is a REALLY bad idea IMO. First off, will that ammount of time be enough for people to get hyped for the games? I think it really would've been smart for Nintendo to show everything before christmas. Now a crapload of people are going to buy PS4/Pro, XBOne, 3DS and Wii U for christmas. Sorry, but few people are going to buy a new console three months after they bought the last one. Nintendo should've released a Wii U killer app for christmas to appease their current customers, while giving up on selling actual Wii U units.
  13. Me neither. But I don't believe they are either. I do however believe that there is some sort of embargo in place.
  14. Not sure what you mean here? I hope not. But let's face it: there hasn't been a mainline FF game on a Nintendo system for 20+ years.
  15. All I've seen is a bunch of indies who probably knew as much as we did until the announcement.
  16. Well, it really would. See the outrage from the iPhone headphone jack malarkey. If the NX has the rumored 3 hours of battery life to boot, then that will be a deal breaker for A LOT of people.
  17. Return to a start-up screen Nintendo?

    I think that the intro screens on XBOne and PS4 are kinda dull. My all time favorite startup screen is:
  18. Atless they were released at a very competitive price point, it would be terrible value for money. Apart for Excitebike 64, which was pretty impressive with its level editor, campaign, desert mode, NES-mode and so on.. Perhaps if Pilotwings 64, 1080 and Waverace 64 were to be sold on the same disc, then maybe it would be worth the money.
  19. First off, check my last post, as I don't want to multipost the exact same thing. Second: Consumers don't care if tha game sells poorly. All they care about is that the games that they buy, or intend to buy, live up to expectations.
  20. Let me correct you there. Nintendo aren't a software publisher, they're a console manufacturer. They should see games as a marketing tool to shift systems. And a game theoretically doesen't need to sell a single copy to make thousands buy the system. As a hypothetical example: let's say that 1080 releases next year. Bob has been thinking of buying the Switch since launch. However, Breath of the Wild alone doesen't justify buying a brand new system. So 1080 comes out, which is one of his all time favorite game series, so he buys a Switch, but he doesen't buy 1080 straight away, he buys BotW instead, as that's a more hyped game, intending to buy 1080 at a later date. But now that he has the Switch, 1080 has to compete with third party games as well as later releases. Perhaps he doesen't buy 1080 at all, or not until Switch 2 hits the shops, perhaps he buys it used. Regardless of which, Bob didn't improve the sales numbers for 1080, but he DID buy a system. Perhaps doing that with F-Zero X would be worth the effort due to that games barren environments: But for the other games, I'd clearly say no. An arcade game with four different, unreasonably difficult cups is just lame today. They'd need to make brand new games with WAY meatier singleplayer campaigns.
  21. I want them to make it abundantly clear to the consumers and the gaming press that they've learned from their mistakes. I'm not. The Wii was amazing in its day. They managed to catch lightning in a bottle and created one of the most popular consoles of all time. It was the right product at the right time. However, the Wii era is well and truly over. Retirement homes are NOT going to buy consoles anymore. At least not until our generation gets old enough to go to retirement homes. The things that made the machine so great back then are not so fondly appreciated today. If Nintendo are to succeed with the Switch, they need to make it clear to even the most dense of morons that this is a fresh start and that this machine has NOTHING to do with neither the Wii or that mindset. No, but Nintendo need to consider doing MASSIVE changes. VC games are way to expensive for what they are (emulated versions of 20+ year old games). It's absurd that you have to purchase VC games for each console seperately and it's equally absurd that each new console has so few VC games at launch, and that the games trickle in at a snails pace. The NES Micro is proof of this. Nintendo are selling a proprietary piece of hardware with wireless controllers and 30 games for less than 30 said games would cost as downloads. That's BONKERS. This is of course a question for a marketing exec, but I'd have nothing against dropping the VC brand and creating a new one. First off, that art style worked well during the Wii era, when they were doing their outmost to make games that would appeal to toddlers, pensioners and republican soccer moms. But like I said, now that era is over, it's time to lure the gamers back. And no, I don't want the Sony or Microsoft equivalents. Neither did their consumers. So now they're gone. And noone misses them. What "progress" did Nintendo make with the Wii and Wii U? Which is applicable today, to the audience that Nintendo undoubtedly are going to aim for.
  22. Ubisoft seems to think so:
  23. If it exists, make it optional. Make it a free app in the eshop. Give players the option to turn off Mii support in the OS main menu, so that they get replaced in all games where they're present. 1080 Waverace Excitebike (a proper one, like Excitebike 64) F-Zero Pilotwings Nintendo have A LOT of franchises to revive.
  24. Miis symbolise the things Nintendo did during Wii and Wii U to drive the gamers away. I may be in the minority here on this forum (although it would be interresting to see what the statistics say), but I'm definitely not in the minority in terms of the gaming industry as a whole. The part of Miiverse you're talking about is great. Just drop the Miis and call it Switchverse or Nintendoverse and I'm all for it.
