McDonaldsGuy said: When Sony was screwing up with the PS3, it was clearly arrogance. Their PR proves that - "People will buy a PS3 even if it had no games." "People will have to get 2 jobs to get a PS3." "The PS3 is too cheap." The $599 price, lack of rumble (last gen tech), loss of third party exclusives (GTA, FF, DMC, Tekken, etc. etc.), crappy first/second party games, etc. etc. But by 2009 Sony did a complete rebranding and made a complete comeback that carried momentum to the PS4. It's a shame cause the Wii was my favorite console last gen, and the 3DS is amazing. I predicted the Wii U would sell 40 million (admittedly I let some outside factors influence me - my original prediction was 25 million), but it'll be lucky to get half of that (it won't). I am a HUGE Nintendo fan. On the other hand, Nintendo the past 4 years have gone insane. Have they done anything right? 1- New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land do not have online. In 2012 this was unacceptable Added: 17 No achievements,18 buying Sonic as its third party exclusive Now the good things Nintendo has done with the Wii U: - Mario Kart 8. Came out at a good time (Mario Karts tend to come out 1.5-2 years after a console release) and was a hit and really good Did Nintendo become arrogant or something? And think they can do no wrong? What was their gameplan with the Wii U? Every decision they have made this gen has baffled me. |
IMO there is so much wrong with your comment dont even know where to start...:
1 Those games dont need online
2 yes weak hardware but PS4 and XBO are also weak (compared to my !4 year! old computer) yet they market their products as powerful LOL
3 it appeals to me it could use better battery life and could use a normal rumble motor instead of a shitty cellphone one that makes WWWWWWWT WWWWWWWT
4 Name is shit I agree
5 nope it does not (a redundant fee that just exsists so one can milk the consumer because one does NOT offer player hosted serves on purpose does suck)
6 yes I agree but they tried to make a NSMB (that sells great) and Mario Galaxy (that does not) hybrid game. To get some sales.
7 It looks fantastic.. TP is the worst 3d Zelda of all time.(console one!) Relies way to much on nostalgia. Is the worst looking Zelda (looked bad the day it came out) Epona is semi useless the world is empty ugly nude chicken humans no holes in the ground with secret rooms/caves etc etc etc (btw hyping is stupid)
8 not Nintendos decision its up to gamefreak to make one as far as I know.
9 I semi agree. They do have other uses but they really have wasted potential
10 yes to late. Not being able to play in a team with one of your WiiU friends is a bigger flaw than NOT having 8 player online Imo.
11 yes but maybe they dont want to make the same game every year? DK also makes more money than Metroid.
12 There is not much you need to prepare for HD. Thats nonsense. Especially when your engines and software tools get better and better. Its easier to make e.g a human than it was 20 years ago. And you always make textures etc better than the ones you end up using because you compress them etc. Also Mario IP is mostly art style and not realism. Mario Galaxy in HD does look like a HD title. And none of their games so far look bad other than NSMBU because its a cheap copy paste job from the Wii engine with stock photoshop effects etc.
(the only thing where I agree about the learning is that NIntendo has no idea how to use bloom. It should be subtil Nintendo uses it on super ultra extreme mode...)
13 maybe
14 nope third party cannot compete with Nintendo so they dont even try. Nintendo does help out third parties but you seem to think third party means Ubisoft EA and Activision only. I never want to see any of their mainstream titles on WiiU. I want quality. Titles like Rayman are fantastic. The "visuals are more important than even framerate" nonsense is not.
15 yes the VC is stupid and overpriced. (especially when you are NOT from the US.)
16 Noone needs an E3. If you cannot educate yourself and find out that a Nintendo Direct exists its better you are not even part of a gaming community.
17 achievements are a waste of time. They serve no purpose other than artificially lenghten a game and let people compare e-penis size. Has nothing to do in gaming at all. Unlockables on the other hand like Goldeneye 64s paintball or DK(head) mode are cool. They give you a challenge and reward you with something of value. Trophies etc on the other hand are just a remnant of that and the stuff that once was unlockable is not DLC you have to buy.
18 nothing wrong with that. The only thing that is wrong with that is that Nintendo didnt help develop the games.
*19 (you forgot this one) Nintendo does not need voice chat. I dont want to hear 12 year olds that say stuff like "you have no reallife you loser go f* your mom in the ass" like I hear in GTA 5 or COD games. The less contact I have with stupid people the better. And there is exactly ZERO point in telling someone how bad he played or how much better I am ...Its just ego boasting and something little kids do. I also think there is no reason for any website be it Youtube or some kind of forum to have a "thumbs down" option. Its like they wanted to give people that never learned how to write text a way to still show they disagree with something...
