Serebii Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Can pretty much guarantee PokéPark Wii will get its US date at E3 Zelda wii, 3ds and pokemon black and white will be the highlight for me. If the way they show off the 3ds and new zelda is anything like the 2004 show (where they first showed the ds and twilight princess) then were in for a treat. Pretty sure Black & White will be a noshow
darksnowman Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Nintendo unleash the ultimate A-bomb: Nintendo have bought back Rare, for less than a tenth of what Microsoft payed for the company.Perfect Dark and Banjo Threeie are due for release in 2011, while Blast Corps will be out for Wiiware later this year. They'd need to buy more than Rare. They'd need to get the Stamper Bros. back too.
The Lillster Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 They'd need to buy more than Rare. They'd need to get the Stamper Bros. back too. Get some of the staff from EAD Tokyo to fill in. Most Rare games are rip-off's of most Nintendo games anyway.
Emasher Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 In that case, why not just buy back the rights to Rare's IPs?

mcj metroid Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 funny remember when nintendo sold rare to microsoft and everybody shat their pants about how nintendo was doomed those were the days
darksnowman Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 funny remember when nintendo sold rare to microsoft and everybody shat their pants about how nintendo was doomed those were the days Remember when Rare used to make games for Nintendo home consoles? Now those were the days. *reminisces*
mcj metroid Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Remember when Rare used to make games for Nintendo home consoles? Now those were the days. *reminisces* ha those days were good too, got shitty during the gamecube era though.
Josh64 Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 ha those days were good too, got shitty during the gamecube era though. Well it would, only releasing one game I still hate the fact that Donkey Kong Racing was never released. GOD DAMN IT!
mcj metroid Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Well it would, only releasing one game I still hate the fact that Donkey Kong Racing was never released. GOD DAMN IT! haha yep thats with I meant and In fairness DKR was never really looking promising.. but well we'll never know I suppose
Josh64 Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Yes but my love for Donkey Kong is so strong that I would have adored it anyway. ...And in my opinion it looked great, riding Rambi about some mountains, riding Enguardé in under water races, what could be better?!

Ren of Heavens Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 - Wii Relax/Wii Pulse - A new action IP from Retro with online multiplayer - Pilotwings Wii - Pikmin 3 - Kirby Wii, the big 2011 platformer? - F-Zero Wii or Waverace Wii, Wii needs another racer besides MK - Starfox 64 follow-up
LostOverThere Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 funny remember when nintendo sold rare to microsoft and everybody shat their pants about how nintendo was doomed Did they have any choice? Nintendo only ever owned 49% of RARE. When the other 51% was sold to Microsoft, there was really no point Nintendo owning 49% of it, when Microsoft had the controlling power.
Dante Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 IGN's Most Anticipated Games Out of all the staff only one staff member mentions Nintendo. It's easy for me to take the easy way out and simply say "Zelda Wii 2," but honestly, I'm way more stoked for the 3DS. We don't know much about the tech beyond its stereoscopic abilities, nor do we know what the library's going to be, but you can bet that the system's first generation will have a Super Mario game to drive sales to the new hardware. New Super Mario Bros. 3D would be a fantastic first-shot experience to show old-school ideas in a new-school visual way.
Pookiablo Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 funny remember when nintendo sold rare to microsoft and everybody shat their pants about how nintendo was doomed those were the days I remember thinking so - if you were an avid N64-er like myself, you appreciated the fact that Rare pretty much kept that console alive for you - virtually all of their games were fucking epic. Saying that, I hated Starfox Adventures (although it was a very purdy looking game) - but then I was never a big fan of the cube anyway.
Emasher Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Star Fox Adventures wasn't great, there really isn't much question about that.
Josh64 Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 But it must be agreed that it did have great graphics. Most Wii games fail to look that good.
D_prOdigy Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 I loved it... but I haven't played it in a couple of years. Thinking back, it was a little linear, and the combat wasn't one of its strongest points. But it was paced well, and clearly very gorgeous.
Ronnie Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Star Fox Adventures wasn't great, there really isn't much question about that. Speak for yourself, I loved Starfox Adventures. Fantastic game, with a few puzzles in particular that makes even the ones in Zelda look simple and dull.
Emasher Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Not great as in good, the other kind of great. While it was a decent game, its not the sort of game that will be largely remembered.

Sure the gba and ds had remakes... but they completely ran out of mario platformers to remake unless they're going to try super mario sunshine lol

When the other 51% was sold to Microsoft, there was really no point Nintendo owning 49% of it, when Microsoft had the controlling power. If i recall, Nintendo were offered the chance to buy that 51% but chose not to. Bet they were glad of that extra cash though- it paid for the whopping EU fine Nintendo were issued.
