SAD FACE

I suddenly care less for the game after reading this.

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Nintendo can win everything today if they just show some good games.

 

[finalark]

Less kiddie games, more violent, fighting,

Violence =/= quality. Most of the successful games on the PS360 are successful because they're good, not because they're violent. Hell, Uncharted, one of the most successful PS3 franchises to date, is all T-rated.

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Name one successful 360 game that isn't rated M.

<_>

 

[Life]

Name one successful 360 game that isn't rated M.

<_>

Yeah, but that's 360. They (were) marketing to the people that think violence DOES equal quality (mainly the same people that justify having a billion generic shooters every year).

Meanwhile, name a successful Wii game that IS M-rated. You'll get, what, five tops?

 

[OmegaXXII]

Well, there are exceptions to that rule I suppose, but what I'm trying to get at is Nintendo should allow more T-rated/M-rated to be produced and less of the kiddie games that would otherwise only focus on a younger audience.

Ratings aside, I am hoping for some greatness out of Nintendo today.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Or rather have Nintendo figure out that games with depth and substance are better in the long run than simple and shallow ones.

There do exist "Kiddy' games with a lot of depth.

 

[finalark]

Name one successful 360 game that isn't rated M.

<_>

fuuuuuuuuuuuu

Still, I think its the actually quality of the games. Not because of violence that those games were successful.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Also for Ninty to learn that accessibility and depth aren't mutually exclusive and that decreasing depth is the wrong way to increase accessibility.

 

[OmegaXXII]

****, I freakin hope they'll have a price drop on this say...350? Hopefully it won't ever even be that much, I'm willing to spend up to 500 on it, but I'll just have to check it's spec before so.

So far I am planning on getting a Vita the WiFi version that is, it'll be awesome.

 

[finalark]

I think that $400 is the most I would be willing to pay for a console. I'm hoping its around that or less.

 

[GreenKirby]

Am I the only one who thinks maybe the Wii was a giant Batman Gambit to dominate the market and then force Sony and Microsoft to make fools of themselves? Only then for Nintendo to sweep in and scoop up all the core gamers.

Oh Miyamoto, that mastermind.

 

[OmegaXXII]

Yea Batman Arkham wasn't exactly the biggest hit ever, but if Nintendo were to release an exclusive say... SSB4, and be successful, i'd say both Sony & Microsoft would have a force to reckon with.

@finalark: see, what did I say! since the Wii was priced at $250 at launch, I'm expecting for it to be cheap as well, then again, this system will greatly be superior over it's current predacessor

 

[finalark]

I disagree.

but if Nintendo were to release an exclusive say... SSB4, and be successful, i'd say both Sony & Microsoft would have a force to reckon with.

Nintendo is already at the top in terms of sales. They're already a major threat to both MS and Sony.

@finalark: see, what did I say, since. Wii was priced at $250 at launch, I'm expecting for it to be cheap as well, then again, this system will greatly be superior over it's current predacessor

Most people seem to forget that previous Nintendo consoles were priced closer to their competitors and the only reason why the Wii is so cheap is that it's two Game Cubes ducted taped together, meaning it runs off of 2001 technology.

 

[Mike2]

has it started yet?

 

[ETWIST51294]

11:00 est.

 

[finalark]

has it started yet?

Not for another good hours and twenty minutes.

Also, this is worth reading if you're at all concerned about MS' future:

Ok I'll give it a read.

one more question. What is the best stream?

 

[finalark]

one more question. What is the best stream?

I've had a lot of lagging issues from Gamespot's stream, but that just might be my poor connection. I didn't have much of a problem watching Sony's conference from their site. So if Nintendo is streaming it then its best to check there.

 

[OmegaXXII]

I disagree.

I Know that, that was Asylum not Arkram!!

Nintendo is already at the top in terms of sales. They're already a major threat to both MS and Sony.

last I heard, in had the worst sales as of now due to it's classification of games, i.e lack of multiplatformers making it to the current wii.

Most people seem to forget that previous Nintendo consoles were priced closer to their competitors and the only reason why the Wii is so cheap is that it's two Game Cubes ducted taped together, meaning it runs off of 2001 technology.

Exactly, which is why the wii has it's limitations as far has graphics and processing is concerned, the wii can only run games up to 480p while ps3/360 run at 1080p

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

11:00 est.

Hold on. I thought it starts at 12:00 est and not in 6.5 minutes.

 

[Xyro77]

times are listed on the front page

 

[ZIO]

Yeah, the Wii has been selling terribly for the last few months. Plus the lack of quality games is also effecting its current success. But it has such a huge lead on its competitors, it don't even matter,

Still, imagine the profit they garnered with 2001 technology as opposed to the tech of the 360 and PS3.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Yeah. Ninty released a new console before the long term effects of the Wii and it's droughts could hit them.

Clever.

 

[finalark]

Well guys, one more hour until we get a good look at what Nintendo has to offer.

Lets hope its awesome.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

I can't stop thinking that Skyward Sword will pull a TP on the Wii, especially due to it's lack of a release date.

 

[OmegaXXII]

1 hour to go, whoo!! F8 "mods are asleep, ponnies..? Uh what

 

[ZIO]

Oh my god don't even suggest such a dreadful act

 

[Xyro77]

I can't stop thinking that Skyward Sword will pull a TP on the Wii, especially due to it's lack of a release date.

this^^^

i will be so mad if they do that. there would be no reason to get the wii version.

 

[Matt07]

1 hour, so hyped!

 

[ETWIST51294]

Hold on. I thought it starts at 12:00 est and not in 6.5 minutes.

I can't add.

 

[finalark]

I can't stop thinking that Skyward Sword will pull a TP on the Wii, especially due to it's lack of a release date.

Honestly, I'll be pretty disappointed if this happens.

 

[OmegaXXII]

One hour to go!!

Is it possible to stream on my Nintendo Wii channel ?

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Honestly, I'll be pretty disappointed if this happens.

I honestly would not be surprised, but also disappointed that the Wii never got it's own Zelda game(TP is a Gamecube port).

 

[OmegaXXII]

Haha, look at you people dissing the wii, I always thought it was the other way around :/
