Forums - Nintendo - So No MGSV For Wii U Either. Where's All This Japanese Support We Were Promised?

wfz on 28 March 2013

I highly doubt we'll ever see Snake in a smash bros game again. The companies just really have nothing to do with each other at all.

I don't think that Kojima has ever really cared for Nintendo.

Myamoto is his idol, he said that numerous times.

If this is a console only multiplatform, then it'll be a loss. If it's available on PC, though, it really doesn't matter whether Wii U gets the game or not.


So I guess Watch Dogs on Wii U is pointless too? I'd recoken most/many Wii U owners don't have a high end gaming PC. 


It is pointless, as PC version will be better anyway and, also, cheaper. You don't need to have a high end gaming PC to be able to play games better than on consoles.

Not everyone buys a new PC every ~5 years though, because if you don't play games on it there aren't many reasons to upgrade. And even most of today's laptops under $1000 can't run games higher than 30FPS on medium settings. PC versions of multiplat games usually sell a bit below the 360 and the PS3 versions (even if it has a PC focus, such as Battlefield), so the amount of non-pirate PC gamers that have a decent enough rig to run last gen games is what ? 50-60m ?

So it's more like the PC version that is pointless because the majority of people will get it elsewhere.

Most games cannot be enjoyed on low settings. That's why the most successful games on PC don't have advanced graphics or can be adjusted down without losing anything important, so "everyone" can play it. Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3 etc.

Watch Dogs on low settings would probably look like San Andreas (dramatized).


If you bought a mid-range PC 5 years ago(2008), you would have a Phenom X3/Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB DDR2 RAM and a PCI-E compatible motherboard. You would just need to buy a new graphics card to be able to play new games on high settings.

My rig has tech from 2008, it's a Phenom X3 8650 2.3GHz and has 2GB RAM DDR2. I have a GTS 450 on my PC and almost every new game I buy I can play on high settings at 768p and >40FPS. Altough sometime you will need to upgrade your entire PC, after 5 years I can still play games on high changing only my GPU. If you bought a mid-range PC back in the day, you could still upgrade your processor(to a Phenom II or Core 2 Quad) and RAM without needing to change the motherboard(and thus the whole PC) if extra performance is needed to run new games. If you buy console games for 5 years, the extra money you spent on them would probably be enough to upgrade your PC thanks to the price difference.

I agree with the part that most games cannot be enjoyed on low settings, but thanks to how long this gen has dragged on, you'll only have problems running games on high/medium settings if your PC is too old, has an Atom processor or both. Also, Minecraft and Diablo 3 are quite taxing on the PC, you won't run those easily with a old PC.

It depends what type of games you are talking about. You may be able to get away with simply upgrading your graphics card for some FPS games which tend to be more GPU intensive. If however you want to play modern RTS games or others that are more CPU intensive then it's time for a new PC.

From my own experience I bought a gaming rig in 2008. The specs were - Intel Core 2 Duo 3ghz, 2x 8800GT in SLI and 4GB of DDR2 ram. I was fine until I tried playing Shogun 2 Total war. Needless to say as soon as there were more than 1000 troops per side the game became unplayable. On the other hand I could play both Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 on max settings with no issues so yeah it does depend on your needs.

The Japanese companies will pull through with Japanese centric games. MGS isnt a Japanese centric game, its a Japanese made game that has broken the western market and caters to that audience just like Dark Souls. Both are PS3/360 titles pretty much now.

If we are gunna make a thread for every multiplat game that doesn't make the WiiU then this websites going to be a very sad place...



 

How to Make friends In Dark Souls 3

Pointless thread.

Metal Gear Solid entries have mostly been Sony platform exclusives for the past decade in Japan. This will not change.

Nintendo already has DQ and Monster Hunter on the Wii U from Japanese studios. More will come; one needs to be patient as games take time to develop and publishers need the necessary install base in order to recoup development costs from their games.

Furthermore, Japanese support for Playstation 3 was not apparent until the release of Final Fantasy XIII - 3 years later after the release of the console. Can people give the Wii U some time before they write it off completely?

They need to stop being disappointed. I warned them about this months ago when we saw the Wii U's specs and already got an indicator of what third parties wanted. Nintendo will be about the exclusives so Nintendo owners have nothing to worry about when it comes to getting their core nintendo fix this gen. Its definitely not going to be the console the Wii was and thats both a blessing and a curse.

sounds like WiiU is dead already!?

no games get announced at all... :/



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Capcom supported the PS3 from the start, Namco, Konami (MGS4, Pro Evo, Silent Hill Homecoming) , Sega (Sonic, Yakuza, Virtua Fighter, Valkyria, Virtua Tennis , etc), NIS (Disgaea 3), Tecmo...
