Pikmin 4 being a NX game is 100% guaranteed

in Nintendo Discussion on 23 May 2016

It's either an NX game or we have another Pikmin 3 situation at hand: The game wasn't in development at all, Miyamoto just confirmed they were working on the title to force management to give him the go. Honestly, I wouldn't rule out that possibility just yet... ...

Dreamcast 2 Team: Project Dream Is About Reinventing Sega, Already Has A "Really Good Hardware Guy"

in Gaming Discussion on 10 February 2016

So these are just a bunch of people who want to make a "Dreamcast 2"? This is not even backed by Sega, right? Why do we even get articles about this? This project has zero chance of success....

Realistically Does the Console NX Have Any Chance Against PS4/XB1?

in Gaming Discussion on 09 February 2016

If NX allows users to put a single cartridge into both home and handheld console (or download the same game for both devices) it won't need to. Something like 25m home consoles + 65m handhelds will ensure healthy profits for Nintendo. And I guess that's what they are aiming for right now. ...

Rumour: Star Fox Zero Facing Development Niggles, Another Delay Could Happen

in Nintendo Discussion on 09 February 2016

Guys, it's not the motion controls that cause them a headache. It's the dual screen setup. Motion controls are easy to learn and they are optional so that's fine. But the dual screen setup is *not* optional, it is a core part of the game. And it's too complicated for an arcade shooter, apparently. And that's why they are having trouble with quality management. ...

Nintendo NX Handheld to Release in 2016 According to IHS Inc - A US Research Firm

in Nintendo Discussion on 28 January 2016

The article you quote does not say Nintendo will release the handheld first. It simply cites sources that expect Nintendo will order displays for handheld units in 2016. Maybe the WSJ article says something different but I can't read that in full. The article you quoted does not indicate the home console will come later. ...

AMD Confirms Nintendo NX 2016 Launch?

in Nintendo Discussion on 26 January 2016

Sorry, incredibly wrong specs and there won't be a handheld version of anything. There will be a handheld and a home console. First of all: I expect there to be a home console and a handheld that share the same architecture and operating system. So we are probbaly talking about the same thing, just using different words. Second: If you have insight into these kinds of...

the Wii U is not getting replaced this year, guys

in Nintendo Discussion on 26 January 2016

Soundwave said: Nintendo is losing money on the Wii U but in a different way, games like Splatoon and DKC: Tropical Freeze and many others should easily have sold 2-3x what they actually will on a decent selling platform. They are losing on opportunity cost. And it's not like you can just whip up an Animal Crossing or DKC or Mario game at the snap of a finger. These games take 2-3 years...

And to those people saying it'll release in late 2017 even though production will start later this year: welcome to the 21st century. Even iPhone production doesn't start...

Goodnightmoon said: WiiU +100k LOL Is very sad to see #FE flopping this way, however it looks like it has sold half of the stock So looks like Atlus was not expecting big sales anyway. It's up to retailers to determine how big the first shipment will be, not the developer. Atlus could've expected 500k copies but if retailers don't order many copies, the shipment will be...

YOU are now in charge of Nintendo's VC team. which games do you bring first?

in Nintendo Discussion on 27 December 2015

For me it wouldn't be as much about releasing titles as modernizing the concept of the Virtual Console. A catalog of retro games was amazing in 2007 but today retro gaming is everywhere. There's a few steps I would take: - Reduce the prices across all system - Give players various options to emulate a game - Add some sort of achievements (maybe trophies, as seen in Smash) But most importantly...

Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, 81% on MetaCritic

in Movies Discussion on 24 December 2015

Saw the movie yesterday and loved it! It's so much better than Episode I-III and captures the spirit of the original trilogy. Sure, they played it safe a lot of the time. But the overall atmosphere was great and pure Star Wars. Can't wait for Episode VIII. ...

Emo Kylo Ren Twitter Account shows some backstory (The Force Awakens Spoilers)

in Movies Discussion on 24 December 2015

In retrospect, I liked his character: He's a weakling and they've purposely designed him to be one. But in the end, the decision he took made him truly evil. They clearly designed him to grow more and more badass over the trilogy and as I liked the movie I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. He has room to grow as a character and a villain. God, I can't believe Episode VIII is scheduled...

Nintendos new console is scheduled for mass production at the end of Q1

in Nintendo Discussion on 05 December 2015

dharh said:If Nintendo were to release so soon it would be a clear complete panic mode reaction. No console maker I know of has released so early from their previous release. NX release in Jan 2016 would be 44 months since last release. Does anyone know of _any_ console releasing so soon since previous release? It's obviously going to release in November or December, certainly not...
