Forums - Nintendo - Reggie says no hard drive...

Reggie says no hard drive…but a better solution, while Miyamoto says enough with the peripherals

In an earlier post, I asked you guys to help translate/pick apart a Club Nintendo interview with Miyamoto and Reggie. A lot of you tried your hand at a translation, and reader Demian Chrisanti was nice enough to pull the most important parts for us. I’ve posted his snippets below.

The Miyamoto part:

They ask if Wii Motion Plus will be in future Zelda games, he confirms they’re working on Zelda and Pikmin but says nothing about WM+

He talks about all the peripherals (Wheel, Balance Board…) and says there won’t be a lot more, they have enough already.

Oh, they ask him about hard drive solutions and says to expect an announcement in the future since they’re working on possible technologies.

The Reggie part:

Says Animal Crossing is not casual and that they’re gonna have GTA on the DS for the hardcore gamers. They’re not making a “hard drive” but will come up with a better solution.

They ask him about the Microsoft avatars and says “copying is a way of flattering, so we’re very flattered.”

Says a console redesign is when the sales go down, not up when asked about a DS redesign.

They also talk about the E3 and whatnot.

Better solution: SD cards, again? Will they at least make it work like a memory card? Or how about external hard drives compatibility? I have a 500GB here that can't wait to be used for some extra WiiWare games...

Reggie is cold man, especially with that DS redesign comment. Ouch @ PSP 3000! o_o



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

lol...haha...I love the hit and run comment he said about Microsoft's Avatar's...hehe
But I hope they do have a better solution for storage. Because I'm about to take advantage of this whole Virtual Console thingy in a couple more days...



transmitted from dupe thread:

Think we are about to see Ninty back bounce the way we want them to come considering all the negative hype surrounding it. People wouldn't listen to me when I said that Ninty was going to start reacting to all this bad media attention about "not supporting the core gamer" but trust me they are noticing it and reacting to it.



BTW, I think his comment was clear on the DS. The Lite was important, to address design complaints, but there aren't really complaints now, so as he stated, the only reason is if sales go down, and that isn't happening yet.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Holographic Hard Drive Upgrades? Piktura? Hmm..



Pixel Art can be fun.

Those bastards...



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Nintendo could always use a system like Sony and M$ that allows one to redownload games so people can just delete games already beaten and go back if they feel like replaying it again.
