So um, the site is down since apparently Nintendo failed somewhere.
For example, the Metroid Fusion game is Wii U only, yet has 3DS banner ect.

Hope it's the code that's wrong and not the banner, since I would prefer to get that on 3DS than on Wii U.

Here's hoping that at E3 or TGS or whatever, Iwata announces the new EAD Group with Sakurai and his friend at the helm.

Then Sakurai gets on stage or whatever and says "After I almost died working on Smash Bros. I decided to start working on less life treathning games with Mr. K" then the screen fades to black and the announce Kirby's Dream Land 4

And Nintendo doesn't go mobile anymore.

They were treated pretty badly in the sense that they asked for cds and Nintendo ignored them completely... When the Devs ask Nintendo for things, Nintendo just simply ignores them compared to their competitors like Sony, when the devs ask them for something, they give it to them...

Market won't care when the games library is that different... The ps2 (look at that list) had significantly larger amount of games than the GC... The GC again, had its own caviats and the xbox had a) A smaller library of games than the ps2 but a bigger library of games than the GC and b) New console almost matched a brand that has been there for generations... That is not something that can be easily done but they did it with the help of third party games...

The wii was better than the GC but the devs didn't care because it wasn't close to the ps3/360... Why would the devs care about the wii when the ps3/360 are sooo much more powerful? You need to understand that there are other platforms in the market and not just Nintendo. And yes, everyone expected Nintendo's demise cause they continue to do things with the system without listening to the third party devs... The market was changing ever since the Snes ended and Nintendo didn't care. They didn't go up to the third party devs and listen to what they wanted, they just made whatever worked for them just to be "unique"

Porting to a different console doesn't cost much if the console is close to the performance of its competitors... It will cost a few million at most and its only to the big ones that require it... Only timed exclusives or third party exclusives cost a lot of money. If its a new third party friendly console, third party devs will jump on it from the geeko without any money and thats proven by the wiiU because it was promised to have plenty of third party support from various third party developers/publishers. The reason why a lot of them stopped was cause it was hard to develop for compared to the ps4/x1 because a) PowerPC, b) weak performance and c) storage space. And of course, Nintendo once again didn't approach the third party devs to ask them what they wanted from their hardware while Sony and MS asked them exactly what they wanted and gave it to them and that has been the case for many generations. If Nintendo started and really mean it, they can do it and all they would have to go is please the third parties

Its not only about the OS... Its about the OS and the Api as well as the engines... They can make an engine for the handheld and later use it for the console just as easily cause all they would have to do is just update it to make it HD which wouldn't really take much effort because they already have the framework to do it. It wouldn't be a shorterm thing cause it will be used for every game... Its kind of like how the Unity engine can be used on anything from a smartphone to a ps4 to a PC but this will be even more efficient

Well, those games get delayed due to various reasons but its mostly because they aim for "Realism" and other nonsense that takes a lot of effort to make which Nintendo games don't need.. Like how Drake's face uses a shit ton of polygons and other things to make him smile but those are needed cause they are going for "realism" where as Nintendo games don't go for that. Cartoony style takes a lot less effort than realism and of course, when Nintendo goes for realism like ur suggesting without any experience, they will have delays even longer than Sony/MS even with a single platform... If you think about it.. Sony and MS has done their realism thing for quite a while now yet they are still facing delays and both of them essentially makes games for a single platform so when Nintendo will try to do the same... I am pretty sure they will have even bigger delays even if they go with a single platform. Hence why third party is once again the key cause if Nintendo leaves it to the third party, then they can continue to do what they have always been doing while still getting third party games which will increase their userbase and market.

Yea you didn't explain that loll. So, I don't get how thats any different than my concept? If the handheld will cost $200 and the console will cost $300, then the console will obviously be more powerful... And if its in the $300 price range, they can make it close enough to the ps5/x2 and make it third party friendly provided they don't include any gimmicks... And if they have unique stuff on both the handheld and console, then they will have to charge money for them seperately or else they will be losing money. And an unified OS is technically "one platform," its just the hardware is different which it will be if the console is $300 and the handheld is $200 provided there are no gimmicks with the console

Well the thing is, it will be viewed as clones. When Sony made killzone and Resistence, many people viewed those games as clones of Halo and Gears of War even though they weren't really the same games. And they still are viewed as clones by many people and the samething will happen to Nintendo. Third parties really won't come to a console if Nintendo doesn't listen to them because they know how much influence they have. They are a bunch of cocky whores but there is nothing we can do about if we want to play Nintendo games on dedicated hardware in the future. The last thing I want to see is Nintendo go third party or completely switch to the disgusting mobile race.

Don't get me wrong, I would love nothing more than to see Nintendo succeed without these bitches but what I would like even more is for Nintendo to stay in business forever so if that means that they have to please a bunch of whores, then so be it imo

Club Nintendo Has The Sacred Stones? I've been wanting to play that for a while, is it worth getting?

Edit: I'm literally 50 stars off getting it >:( If someone has a spare code laying around could i use it to get it? Its fine if you don't want to.

Can't even imagine Kojima being a Nintendo exclusive developer. It would be badass, but unexpected.

You can get 50 stars with F2P titles like Pokemon Shuffle or IronFall: Invasion. Some applications on Wii U give you points as well.

Weren't you the only one without MK8 DLC? It's 2100 stars, just saying

And 3900 stars for a GBA title seems too expensive (but it's a good game).

Yeah, on the other hand i might get that DLC along with something else, and thanks for the help! :D

Hahaha, just noticed that the Xenoblade Chronicles code had already expired last month.
250 stars down the drain xD

That only includes Pack 1. If you want both, it's best to wait or just buy the bundle and use the stars for other things.

Its ok. I'll buy the other pack as soon as it gets released. I got the MK8 Pack and A Link to the Past since I haven't played it before :D
