OH MY GOD, THEY DID IT AGAIN!
An interview with the composer of Nintendo Land... (Ryo Nagamatsu)
http://www.destructoid.com/an-aural-tour-with-the-composer-of-nintendo-land-part-1-242631.phtml
On DK's Crash Course...
The melody in the music for Stages 2 and 4 is simply the reverse (from the end) of the melody in Stages 1 and 3. I wonder if anybody has noticed."You brilliant bastard!
Can't believe that I never noticed that! -
The only part of Iwata's tweet I'm not to keen on is the "and services Nintendo is developing." part...
It better not be 20 minutes of TVII
TVii is already out in the US and Japan, so it wont be that...
-
Yeah, and I'll get a little bit more playtime out of it. Have started a second playthrough on Hard difficulty, so that's at least another 35 mins.
And perhaps there's an unlockable for finishing it on Hard?
There are quite a few unlockables...
Nice little game BTW. Made by just one man too! Scratches that Mega Man itch quite nicely
-
Pfft, Mario Kart needs fresh blood.
Just merge the 2. Mario Kart's roster with Diddy's mechanics and innovation.
Isn't that basically Mario Kart 7?
-
Wii U Music meets this criteria!
Honestly, I'd love to see that happen. Wii Music is one of my favourite Wii games and has a lot of potential in a sequel!
Why does this ND have to happen while I'm working!? I'll have to wait for the whole day to end before I can watch it and find out what's going on!
-
Confirmed, the Nintendo Direct is FIRST PARTY ONLY
That doesn't mean that they'll only "be talking about what kind of Wii U titles and services Nintendo is developing". They could talk about 3rd party titles in addition to stuff from Nintendo...
That comment about this including "services Nintendo is developing" makes me think of the Virtual Console. Could we finally see details (and a possible release!?) of the Wii U VC service? (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! MY GAMEPAD IS CRYING FOR DKC, SUPER METROID AND WIND WAKER TO BE PLAYED ON IT!!!)
-
The control scheme will most likely be exactly the same as the PSP games if you don't use the additional circle pad I imagine.
Surprisingly, I haven't seen a single person here who plays Tri 3G in the common room at my University with the additional circle pad. They just all play by the default controls, then again, I'm guessing they're PSP veterans.
That (size and shape adjustable) d-pad on the right hand side of the touchscreen is the reason why
You don't need to claw on the 3DS, even without the CPP.
-
I thought this would be a cheap downloadable port, but they're actually going to charge €50 for it?
The game is worth the price. Absolutely fully deserving of a retail release.
-
Wii U version!?
Yep I'm happy now
-
This just came up on the American FB
Notice it says Nintendo games. Could be a sign that this is entirely first party
I highly doubt it. RE:Revelations for Wii U was just announced and I have no doubt that they'll be showing that off tomorrow...
-
Well that's one of the Nintendo Direct announcements ruined!
Glad to see that it's getting a Wii U version after all. It's the only platform where a port actually makes sense (since it's the only console that can properly replicate the controls)
Very good news
-
Right on cue! Time to knock our socks off Iwata! (and for Shibata to show off a new Balance Board controlled F-Zero game and Miyamoto's new Mermaid IP PLZ!)
Also Nintendo reviving the old Rareware and gathering all the lost wayward souls back together!
-
Good stuff. NOE will surely do a much better job of promoting it than those muppets at Konami would
That trailer is old old old though.
-
It sounds good in theory and Sony did purchase Gaikai, but do the UK and the US have reliable enough broadband services/connections to be able to rely all that heavily on internet streaming though do they? It's a different situation in Japan of course.
Not really, but that's why they'd offer two different models
At least that way they can advertise the fact that it plays your old PS3 games...
-
Makes me think of minecraft. You die, and lose all your saves!
Hard drive corruption becomes a feature and not a bug :p
-
And so the list of Nicalis games that are out in the US and not EU expands even more...
-
I bet that they will have PS3 BC... but you'll either have to pay extra for a model that has the PS3 hardware inside, or get the cheaper model that plays PS3 games via Gaikai streaming.
-
I dunno, Playstation Death has a nice ring to it.
The true hardcore gamer's machine
-
NO FUCKING WAY!!!
Never in a million years did I expect it to get localised! GOOD GOING NAMCO YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARDS!
I hope that the game is better than Namco X Capcom though. From what I've seen of the game it looks to be all fan service and no substance...
-
What the Dreamcast, Vita and Wii U show is that the masses just aren't keen on gaming enough to be excited by new hardware for its own sake. I don't want to be too snobby though, because I think Orbis and Durango will both be very powerful and it will be more obvious what you're getting for your money (than the Wii U).
Well if the (freshly leaked!) Durango specs are anything to go by... one of those two consoles will be very powerful (if still decidedly mid-range on the PC scale) at least...
-
Nintendo have a parent on their D-pad design
Had a patent you mean. It has expired now, which is why Sony stole the internal design for the Vita's D-pad
(It's also the reason why it's much better than any previous PS D-pad too!)BTW, seems like the full specs have leaked!
http://www.vgleaks.com/world-exclusive-durango-unveiled/
As we promised during the weekend in the next weeks we will unveil Durango and Orbis. All the technical info you want to know about the next generation machines from Sony and Microsoft.The first one is Durango. In this article we present the system overview with the general components and some technical details about them.
How are durango components connected?
Here you can see the Durango system block diagram:
Durango Arquitecture
Let’s check what’s inside the box:
CPU:
- x64 Architecture
- 8 CPU cores running at 1.6 gigahertz (GHz)
- each CPU thread has its own 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache
- each module of four CPU cores has a 2 MB L2 cache resulting in a total of 4 MB of L2 cache
- each core has one fully independent hardware thread with no shared execution resources
- each hardware thread can issue two instructions per clock
GPU:
- custom D3D11.1 class 800-MHz graphics processor
- 12 shader cores providing a total of 768 threads
- each thread can perform one scalar multiplication and addition operation (MADD) per clock cycle
- at peak performance, the GPU can effectively issue 1.2 trillion floating-point operations per second
High-fidelity Natural User Interface (NUI) sensor is always present
Storage and Memory:
- 8 gigabyte (GB) of RAM DDR3 (68 GB/s)
- 32 MB of fast embedded SRAM (ESRAM) (102 GB/s)
- from the GPU’s perspective the bandwidths of system memory and ESRAM are parallel providing combined peak bandwidth of 170 GB/sec.
- Hard drive is always present
- 50 GB 6x Blu-ray Disc drive
Networking:
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct
Hardware Accelerators:
- Move engines
- Image, video, and audio codecs
- Kinect multichannel echo cancellation (MEC) hardware
- Cryptography engines for encryption and decryption, and hashing
The specs seem surprisingly modest actually! Doesn't seem that far ahead of the Wii U really... (and quite a bit behind the PS4 in terms of GPU grunt - though they seem to share the exact same CPU)
It's actually quite refreshing to see a non-Nintendo console manufacturer not go overboard with the hardware spec! Including a Kinect 2.0 and a hard drive in every model (as is suggested by these specs) no doubt have eaten into the console's silicon budget...
The gap between the PS4 and 720 should make ports very interesting.
It having a WiFi direct chip is also very nice. It means that it'll be able to connect to wireless devices locally while also being able to stay connected to the Internet over WiFi at the same time (Wii U has a WiFi Direct chip as well BTW)
Also a HDMI in!? I smell DVR functionality! (As I had foreseen many moons ago :p)

Capcpom will never live those down
Shane Kim "announcing" RE5 for the 360 1 year late is another classic gaming cockup that people will continue to make jokes about forever

Get it. You won't regret it. They just don't make videogames like that one anymore.
From what I remember, you get told nothing in the game. you don't get told to go here, you don't get told to collect this from there. You don't get told what this weapon does. But, nevertheless, you find out yourself. It's the complete opposite of spoon-feeding. You learn how to crawl, walk, sprint and then fly yourself, completely unaided.
I wish we could get another game like it. I'd pay double the price for one on the 3DS right now, without a second's thought.
I know it's not Metroid, but Paper Mario Sticker Star is very similar to Super Metroid in that it is completely bereft of handholding and hints...

It should have gyro controls for aiming though... They were pretty damn awesome in the 3DS version!
