#119919 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion Thread

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 21 October 2012 - 08:37 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Bayonetta would be cool, but she's too suggestive.

They'd tone her down, like they did with Snake in Brawl. Keep in mind that SSB is a teen-rated franchise, too.



#119915 Iconic Sega franchises they need to resurrect on the Wii U

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 21 October 2012 - 08:29 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Jet. Set. Radio. Yes please. Just imagine pulling off a wallgrind and then scribbling a graffiti design as fast as possible on the GamePad.
Sega, pay attention.



#119146 Splinter cell black list coming to wii u

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 19 October 2012 - 09:08 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'd love to see the game on the wiiu but aren't the cases blue?


The final cases are blue, but the placeholder boxes are just regular, black DVD cases.



#91111 Gamestop's a bit harsh on pricing..

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 01 July 2012 - 09:50 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Nintendo has confirmed retailers listing Wii U games around the $100 range "are using fictitious prices".


They actually cost $149.99.



#91110 Super Mario Galaxy 3

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 01 July 2012 - 09:49 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I loved Galaxy 1 and 2, but I think it's time for something new. Imagine a beautiful 1080p 60 fps, fully open world (no windows or cannons that bring you to separate levels) where you have to explore and find 120 stars scattered throughout the planet....

...and you call it Super Mario World.



#91109 Tons of new Wii U info - Nintendo Network, Achievements, Virtual Console, etc

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 01 July 2012 - 09:46 AM in Wii U Hardware

This happened Friday? How the heck did I miss this? But on a serious note, it's funny that not only is there a "porn curtain" mode, but there is also a private browsing mode. But anyway, this is pretty great news!



#81903 Microsoft and Sony spoiler tactics for wii u launch?

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 30 May 2012 - 12:30 PM in Wii U Hardware

I think that Microsoft will cut the 360 down to $179 (Or, as Pachter suggested, 360 and Kinect for $199) and really promote their existing hardware. We'll see a lot more "platinum hits" come out, and I think Microsoft will advertise the fact that the 360 has more games than any other console.



#80915 What are you buying on launch day?

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 26 May 2012 - 02:00 PM in Wii U Hardware

With the launch of a new console, there's always a flood of games, accessories, hardware, controllers, and just general stuff put out to cash in on day-one buyers. Given that a large percentage of the members of this forum will be buying a Wii U on day one (including myself), I thought this would be a fun thread.

Feel free to copy my format below:

Hardware
  • 1 Wii U (in black, if available)
Software
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (if available); if not available Ghost Recon Online
  • Pikmin 3 (if available)
  • Wii U Play (probably going to be a pack-in title, but whatever)
  • Assassin's Creed III
  • Whatever crazy-good launch titles Nintendo puts out
  • Whatever crazy-good launch titles third parties put out
  • Killer Freaks From Outer Space
Accessories
  • If there's a new Classic Controller they put out, I might pick that up
  • A headset (if the U isn't compatible with my current headset)
Other Stuff
  • A $20 eShop gift card
  • Energy drinks and lots of sweets to keep me awake



#80909 Nintendo slightly updates Wii U Logo

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 26 May 2012 - 01:42 PM in Wii U Hardware

agreed

the black ones should have a more hardcore look of the logo too , a different font maybe


Absolutely not. You don't want to confuse the consumer too much; enough people are confused by the "U" already.



#80709 Game You Least Expect to be Announced at E3

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 25 May 2012 - 04:39 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Mother 4. Zing!



#80708 Nintendo slightly updates Wii U Logo

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 25 May 2012 - 04:37 PM in Wii U Hardware

The dark blue adds a more mature feel to it. Me gusta. (Now all they need is a black console available on launch day...)



#80307 Wii U menu

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 23 May 2012 - 09:04 AM in Wii U Hardware

Yep that looks like the controller menu.


I'm still sticking with the idea that the controller menu will be very minimal.



#80087 Info that makes Android Rumor Plausable

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 22 May 2012 - 09:49 AM in Wii U Hardware

It is NOT going to be Android-based. So many vulnerabilities that would be present, it's not even funny. If Nintendo doesn't want their console to get hacked a week after it comes out, they just can't have it be Android-based.



#79877 Nintendo's E3 2012 Presentation Being Broadcast Live on Spike TV

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 21 May 2012 - 01:57 PM in Wii U Hardware

We're. done with everything in my AP French class, so I'll be watching this that day :D And you betcha that I'll be on the chat.



#79573 New Wii U News from EB Games Canada

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 20 May 2012 - 02:08 PM in Wii U Hardware

Thanks for the info. Can't wait to preorder mine! :D



#79492 Ubisoft employee leaks a massive load of Wii U info!

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 20 May 2012 - 08:37 AM in Wii U Hardware

So, this is probably Euro stuff, as far as pricing and release date goes, but the Wii U launching at 350 euros on Black Friday? Heck no. There is no way that I am camping out at GameStop the night of Black Friday. (Plus, I'd have to get whatever I want from Walmart on Black Friday, then run across the shopping center to pick up my Wii U and run out of there)



#79485 Wii U store

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 20 May 2012 - 08:13 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I think that the general consensus here is that the Wii U will be able to download GCN games. My only worries with this are the price and the download times (storage isn't an issue for me, 500 GB USB hard drive ftw).

In regards to pricing, I believe it's currently like this:
NES: 500 Nintendo Points/$4.99 USD
Sega Master System: 600 Nintendo Points/$5.99 USD
TurboGrafx-16: 700 Nintendo Points/$6.99 USD
Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drive: 800 Nintendo Points/$7.99 USD
SNES: 800 Nintendo Points/$7.99 USD
N64: 1000 Nintendo Points/$9.99 USD
GCN: My guess is 1500 NP/$14.99 USD

I think they'll make a $5 jump in price because the games are a) 10x the size of a N64 game and thus require more space on the server, b ) the games are more recent, so they can charge more because you can still go into a GameStop and buy a GameCube game, and c) Nintendo likes making money. That being said, Nintendo should definitely have external storage as an option from day one. Let's break this down from a storage space point of view:

8 GB Wii U hard drive
-2 GB Wii U and Wii saves, along with some downloaded VC games
-1 GB in WiiUWare games
= the average Wii U user has roughly 5 GB of space for GameCube games. GameCube games are usually 1.3 GB, so this means the average Wii U user can fit about 3 to 4 GameCube games without external memory.

Side Note 1: I really hope Nintendo switches from blocks to MB and GB. My hard drive is 500 GB, not 32,768,000 blocks.
Side Note 2: Half of me hopes that Ninty releases all of the Wii's VC games onto the eShop on day one. Half of me thought waiting for those games to come out and seeing what came out every week was fun, and it might be fun on the Wii U as well.



#79479 Star Fox Wii U - My Ultimate Fantasm

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 20 May 2012 - 07:48 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Nice, kinda similar to my Star Fox Assault 2 HD Online nerdgasm idea. Just imagine customizable, level-uppable classes in a Metroid Prime Hunters 2....



#79477 RUMOR: Retro's New Game to be "Star Fox – Metroid: Fusion Saga"

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 20 May 2012 - 07:44 AM in Wii U Games and Software

No. Just... no. All I want is StarFox Assault 2 HD Online with 4 vs. 4, Star Fox vs. Star Wolf team deathmatches over Nintendo Network. Now, Retro, shut up and take my money.

<- Just imagine this... in 1080p... 8 player online.... mmm...



#79476 Wii U menu

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 20 May 2012 - 07:40 AM in Wii U Hardware

This is what I made. Will make a newer version soon, but this is what I've created so far in Photoshop. Hope you like it!

This. I think that ArnarFB's design looked great, but it just didn't look Nintendo enough. I could see his design being the PS4's menu, but not the Wii U's menu. I think that your design is the perfect blend of Nintendo-ness and modern-ness. If I could change anything in your design at all, I'd...
  • Remove the disc menu icon in the bottom segment and replace it with a Nintendo Network menu icon
  • Replace the "New at Nintendo eShop" space with a space for playing disc games. You could even have the disc swing in like the Wii
  • Replace "Top Games" with "My Games"; leave it a space for downloaded stuff. I liked the Wii Shop Channel's design where it would show on the channel icon what's new in the eShop
  • Show your Nintendo Network info somewhere, including your Mii, new messages, and achievements
  • Add arrows to the bottom section so you can scroll through the app icons
Other than that, it looks great! Certainly better than what I could ever do!



#79299 Rumor: Project H.A.M.M.E.R coming back as a Wii U title?

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 19 May 2012 - 03:48 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I was looking forward to this game back when the Wii was abut to come out, but I seriously doubt this rumor. The link tracks back to a weebly page. Seriously. Weebly. Myth=busted.



#79296 Wii U menu

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 19 May 2012 - 03:46 PM in Wii U Hardware

In all honesty, I think we'll be lucky if we get a proper media player for stuff on external memory. I think it's much more likely that we'll have Netflix, Hulu Plus, Spotify(fingers crossed) and Youtube (gigantic fingers crossed)



#62303 Wii U menu

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 18 February 2012 - 01:33 PM in Wii U Hardware

The controller menu concept looks really nice, but if anything we might get a controller menu like the 360's guide button menu:

#56589 RUMOR: Final Dev Kits more powerful than anticipated

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 23 January 2012 - 08:38 AM in Wii U Hardware

That's good news. Nintendo needs to future-proof the Wii U both as economically and appealingly as possible.



#56110 What will Wii U game covers look like?

Posted by CaptainFalco311 on 21 January 2012 - 07:55 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I hope the Wii U doesn't use those recycle cases. I mean it is nice to save the plastic, but it makes the cases flimsier.
The games deserve to be put in a quality case!



I don't have a problem with the Eco-Cases. Yeah, they may feel flimsy, but on a shelf, they fit in fine (and it's only the disc that really matters, not the case)
