Posted February 13, 2014 They've said it before that they feel TP doesn't need an HD remake and I completely agree with them. It wouldn't add much. I would love episodic 2D Zelda and Metroid games for either Wii U or 3DS. A level or dungeon released every other month, with a nice sprawling narrative. Fantastic idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 13, 2014 New Shining game announcement coming tonightTiming coincides with tonight's Nintendo direct. A new Shining game will be announced tomorrow morning (Japan time), series producer Tsuyoshi Sawada teased on Twitter. “Tomorrow there will be a little announcement, so fans please look forward to it.,” said in a tweet. “You’ll know it when it becomes morning. We’re trying out a new genre with the Shining series. Starting with this, I’ll be doing a lot of things this year.” Sawada added, “The project that will be announced tomorrow is not an RPG. I’ve changed our [Twitter] icon to a meaningful image.” The Twitter icon mentioned was changed to artwork from Shining Blade, which launched in March for PSP in Japan. Tonight’s Nintendo Direct is actually 7 a.m. tomorrow morning in Japan. The timing coincides nicely with the Sawada’s tease. Perhaps we’ll hear about the new game during the broadcast? The latest entry in the series, Shining Ark, launched for PSP in Japan last February.

Posted February 13, 2014 Very sensible predictions though I don't think they'll cut the price of existing virtual console games but they should. One can only hope. A couple of my casual video gamer friends today were talking about how much games cost on the eShop, whether they're 3DS games or old games, they definitely need to price things more competitively.

Posted February 13, 2014 For me the overworld's kinda the best part though :p They could keep the overworld definitely! Just upon up new caves or secret entrances, you know, like how temples rise out of lakes and stuff. Maybe expand the overworld over time. Open up new islands. There are plenty of ways to do it while keeping the overworld aspect. Definitely agree it's one of the best parts. But it would basically allow Nintendo to release a game quickly and then keep people hooked in with constant added content. ...I freaking LOVE this idea. Well done me.

Posted February 13, 2014 Doubt we'll see any of that in our press conference, so they'll have to have something western specific lined up. They could always talk about Sonic Boom in that section, as Japan aren't getting that. Anyway, my final predictions: Clarifications on Nintendo's upcoming strategy. Trailers for already-announced games (Donkey Kong, Bayonetta, Mario Kart, X). Announcing that the Sonic Lost World Zelda DLC will be available tomorrow. Diddy & Dixie Kong announced for Smash Bros. The announcement of a few eShop games designed with the GamePad in mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 13, 2014 I'd like to see Telltale games make their way onto Wii U, especially The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead...Surely a port would be dirt cheap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 13, 2014 I've just remembered, about a year ago Nintendo said they'd have the ability to record videos on post on miiverse... I wonder if that will be talked about? They've hinted there's going to be a summer update (quick launch into digital games) so could be a decent time - along with a notification system and FOLDERS!!!!!

Miiverse mesanger is a great idea. Seconded in an instant! Expectations in check for tonight... They could keep the overworld definitely!

I remember IGN ran an article about Galaxy - before release, asking what you want to see in it. I proposed they release DLC galaxies which could appear/be bought after release. It was featured in their article as a topper idea...obviously we never saw it. But I wholly agree with you, Nintendo need to start doing this. Offer me DLC for SMW3D ...like a retro island or N64 rocket that takes you to classic Mario64 levels... It would kick start sales again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 13, 2014 Read more at http://gematsu.com/2014/02/new-shining-game-announcement-coming-tonight#xg4syIaiZ7uSmB5e.99 C'mon Shining Soul 3DS with local co-op! And that actually gets a UK release! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 13, 2014 I proposed a smiler thing with Nintendoland too... to be fair they're doing it with Wii Sports, but the online is so bad it hasn't quite worked, but they should do it. Keeps the game in peoples minds! nintendo also need to get their fan base into buying DLC, as at the minute they're not! And 3rd parties have pulled pretty much completely.

Posted February 13, 2014 Oh god I never even thought of a Dreamcast Virtual Console!!!! As much as I'd love to see Dreamcast Virtual Console, I'm much more interested in SEGA Saturn Virtual Console! Most of the Dreamcast's best games are available elsewhere already (and often in superior form). The Saturn however has a huge library of classics that cannot be played anywhere else and a large chunk of its best games are very rare and hilariously expensive to aquire! That being said I'd be pissed if they went and announced it today because I literally just bought a bunch of Dreamcast and Saturn stuff (controllers, Saturn multi tap, Saturn Bomberman & Bomberman Fight, Bangai-o, Pen Pen etc) yesterday!
