#317744 Nintendo NX Rumors

Posted by Keviin on 26 January 2016 - 09:45 AM in Wii U Hardware

It won't be just a portable that inexplicably gets a "boost" if it just so happens to connect to a competitors console. That would cause developers to have to develop two games for one system - or one very high end game that utilizes low LOD when it is mobile only. Not worth the investment for those who will only use the mobile unit.

 

NX is a codename used to describe a NINTENDO family of hardware units that share data with each other with each utilizing a similar architecture for ease of cross hardware game and app development. The mobile system can share the "same" game data with the "beefy" home based unit allowing for high fidelity gaming at home and the "same" game (using shared saved data), but at a lower fidelity while on the road. Actually surprised no one has done this before.

 

Other Nintendo hardware units as well as some existing and future competing hardware units (phones, tablets, etc.) will join the home console and mobile unit to run Nintendo software to be called cohesively, the NX platform. Still just a codename. Pretty ambitious stuff.

Interesting concept.

Am I the only one who envisioned the NX as a handheld device that can be connected to a TV using streaming technology? The NX would cost more than an average handheld because of its ability to stream HD gaming with performances similar to last gen consoles to a TV. Its selling point would be that you can play the games wherever you like, also on your TV. I'm struggling to explain this idea, but I hope it's understandable.




#317577 One thing Mario Maker is lacking, just one thing.

Did you mean slopes? Cause this game is really lacking slopes.




#317294 Wii U System Turns 3, Happy Birthday

Posted by Keviin on 20 November 2015 - 05:24 AM in Wii U Hardware

I always thought the Wii U would slightly surpass Gamecube sales, but this is not going to happen..

 

Still, happy 3 years. I've had one for about 2 now.




#317280 What do you want the NX to be or what do you think it will be?

Posted by Keviin on 18 November 2015 - 06:11 AM in Wii U Hardware

"There should be little to no similarity to the Wii and Wii U"

 

This is important.The Wii was a succesful fad from 10 years ago, but people got over it. Core gamers don't really like it and casuals moved on. They need something new. I also think they should stop the DS branding. Nintendo needs something new that makes people go "Wow, this looks so cool and trendy, I need it!"




#317187 What games would make the NX launch successful?

Posted by Keviin on 09 November 2015 - 04:47 AM in General Gaming

New Metroid = day 1 buy for me and a lot of dedicated gamers.




#317061 Nintendo Distributing NX software kits to 3rd parties

Posted by Keviin on 18 October 2015 - 07:46 AM in Wii U Hardware

I'm equally hyped and skeptical about this concept.

 

A unified console would mean that you can play all new Nintendo games without having to buy two platforms (Wii U and 3DS right now). It would allow for the same titles to be played on the go and on your TV. It would be backwards compatible with Wii U and 3DS because the handheld could be used as a Gamepad/second screen. Gamepad-like ideas (second screen maps etc.) could still be applied. The console would be powerful enough to gain respect and 3rd party support.

 

This sounds like a dream, but could it work?

 

"industry leading chips" would be very expensive. The PS4 is $350 right now. It's a console with a normal controller. The NX would have to be more powerful and deliver a second screen at the same time. The handheld part of NX would need its own CPU, GPU, RAM, you name it... This together would cost at least $500. The current customers who would buy a 3DS are those that probably don't want to spend a lot of money on a platform. NX would be more expensive as a PS4 or Xbox One. This is problematic.

 

From the information given, it sounds like NX will be both a console and a handheld bundled together. A console to plug into your tv, and a handheld for on the road. I assume the handheld would be the controller? Processing power on the handheld would be a lot weaker than on the console version. Now if the NX wouldn't be trying to compete with PS4 power specs, we could have something more realistic..

 

A handheld device that you can connect to your tv. Imagine a handheld with the power of a PS3 for example. You could take that on the road, but you could also stream it to your TV (think of something like ChromeCast). This would be more likely to sell than an actual hybrid console, meaning two seperate devices.




#317017 ~24 hours to go

Already beat it months ago. Amazing game, took me 26-30 hours to 100% it (except for the stamps)

Yoshi's 8-bit world:
5247-0000-0082-09E4

Easy, relaxing and pretty to look at. Try to find the three secret 1-ups!


Save the Shrooms 2.0
313F-0000-0081-E33B

Fun, slightly challenging level where you need mushrooms. Try to find the secret exit!

Through Time and Space 1-1
B203-0000-007A-7546

Part 1 of a series. You start out as 8-bit mario and finish in HD.

I have plenty more. I love this game, but the upload limit is annoying. I would love more stars. I put a lot of time in these. I will check out your levels as well. :)



#316944 Super Mario Maker: Course Sharing Thread

Posted by Keviin on 20 September 2015 - 11:00 AM in Wii U Games and Software

yeah that is the easiest route i think

 

the path with the goombas is also a way of completing it, it takes you to an area where you get yoshi but i think it is slightly more challenging 


 

 

 

these are the two most challenging levels i've played, i really want to beat them both but i get so frustrated

Even I get frustrated with my own level. No one else has beaten this level so far, I tend to think it's too hard and I should make easier levels.




#316906 Super Mario Maker: Course Sharing Thread

Posted by Keviin on 15 September 2015 - 03:10 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Nice levels guys.

I would really, really appreciate it if you'd check out some of my levels. I created a very difficult level (took me at least 50 tries, finetuning and all.) I would like to apologize for an unfair death after the first blue platform, but all the other parts are fun tricky jumps. I spent a lot of time on it, but no one really seems to play it. I also have some fun medium-challenges.

 

The code is 70EB-0000-0038-2840. Good luck guys.

I honestly expect a new main Pokémon. I don't know, seems like about the right time I guess.

Yarn Yoshi amiibo compatible. This makes me curious.




#316573 Super Mario Maker: 60 Levels Confirmed; One by Rayman's Michel Ancel

Posted by Keviin on 12 August 2015 - 11:39 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I have a really specific question if anyone knows the answer. Have ALL of the abillites of the respective generations been preserved? The one I'm thinking of in particular is the SMW ability to throw shells upwards. If I remember rightly, that only existed in that generation. They removed it for the more recent games and you could only throw shells left or right.

Throwing shell upwards confirmed.




#316569 Super Princess Peach Maker

US overview video... i didn't know you can make your own sound effects and also place sound effects just about anywhere... and some even have a visual representation.

 

This got revealed today. Really cool.

I hope it is. It makes for smoother gameplay and could be used for simple puzzles and such. Keep me posted if you find out.




#316490 The Walking Dead series is possibly coming to Wii U

Posted by Keviin on 08 August 2015 - 05:31 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I played them on PC (best storytelling games I've played tbh) but it's good to see it coming to Wii U.




#316489 Super Mario Maker: 60 Levels Confirmed; One by Rayman's Michel Ancel

Posted by Keviin on 08 August 2015 - 05:30 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Not bad, but disappointing compared to the 100 levels were told previously. But I heard Nintendo will make new levels and release them online as well, so whatever. 

The only downside so far is that there seem to be some elements missing that I would like to return. People have done many things with golden shells in lunar magic, for example. I also love chargin' chucks, baby Yoshi's, SMB2 Vegetables and vertical levels (especially the ones without walls). Stuff like this and maybe an overworld editor would make good DLC.




#316403 Wii U lifetime sales pass 10 million, Splatoon sells 1.62m

Posted by Keviin on 01 August 2015 - 10:26 AM in Wii U News

I was hoping it would at least surpas Gamecube sales, now I'm hoping it reaches 15 million.

#316075 Satoru Iwata passed away

Posted by Keviin on 14 July 2015 - 04:47 AM in General Gaming

I loved Iwata and I will miss seeing him announce Nintendo greatness. Directs and E3 will never be the same.
