#316889 DeNA Expects Over 150 Million People to Try Nintendo's Mobile Games

How about they spend less time thinking about the money and more time making a game worthy of those IPs.

#315552 Splatoon Getting A Real Update June 30th

Was hoping for new content. Also, they really REALLY need to have all maps in rotation and allow both game modes in ranked and unranked.

#316442 Help with Ranked Matches In Splatoon

Posted by Azure-Edge on 04 August 2015 - 06:45 AM in Wii U Games and Software

For splatzones go for a weapon that can cover a wide area very quickly like the aerospray. If you see you're outnumbered try to hide and wait for help and then spring on your enemies. Also when the round first starts it's not a bad idea to create an alternative route with ink in case you get sent back to base.

I'd also say playing for kills is a good deal more important than in nonranked.

#316554 Nintendo Explains Why It Won't Annualize Smash Bros. And Mario Kart

Posted by Azure-Edge on 12 August 2015 - 06:48 AM in Wii U Games and Software

It's good they don't annualize Mario Kart and Smash but they need to try to have them out within the first year of the NX.

I'm kinda hoping with the NX the rerelease their core WiiU games. (Smash, MK, Splatoon, both Bayonettas, 3D World, etc.)

#317169 Is a PS4 worth it?

Posted by Azure-Edge on 08 November 2015 - 11:55 AM in General Gaming

Do what I did last year and build a pc. You don't pay to play online, can choose the hardware/game settings YOU want, access to steam which means huge savings on games, mods/user generated content, AND you get a very nice desktop.

PC + Wii U = I never need to buy a PS4 or Xbox One.

#309893 Top five games of the last (7th) generation

Posted by Azure-Edge on 01 March 2015 - 01:10 PM in General Gaming

Hard to actually give definitive ranks but these would probably be the 5 in no specific order.

Demons Souls- Awesome new IP, great atmosphere, challenging but fair whereas Dark Souls just feels like it's trying to screw you.

Biosock- Probably the best NEW ip of the generation. There have been so many shooters this last gen trying to fight for the CoD market, but Bioshock instead did it's own thing and it excelled.

Xenoblade- Best jrpg of last gen on consoles. Period.

Skyward Sword- Great origin story for Zelda and awesome art.

Mario Galaxy 1/2- The Mario 3 of 3D Mario games.

#317627 What do you want the NX to be or what do you think it will be?

Posted by Azure-Edge on 13 January 2016 - 06:29 PM in Wii U Hardware

Based on what we know/rumors here is my ideal of what the NX NEEDS to be. Based on the name and the rumors, it seems likely we'll see a 'hybrid' console. My idea is that Nintnedo needs to satisfy both western demographics who want a powerful console that can entice 3rd parties as well as the Japanese market where handhelds are dwindling but still too big of a market to drop. One of Nintendo's biggest problems has been them having to split their development across handhelds and consoles; it stretches them thin and forces them to put out different versions of games. So what's the answer?

The NX is a multi-SKU platform that is 100% cross compatible. Same OS, same X86 architecture, same account. Here's the breakdown.

First you have the main SKU which is a normal console. Step ahead in hardware compared to the PS4, normal controller, DVD/Blu-ray playback, 1TB hard drive, achievement system, modern online infrastructure,etc. X86 architecture means that 3rd parties have no reason to stay away since the cost or porting would be minimal. Nintendo continues to release their amazing first party IPs. It's the system western audiences want.

Here's where the new comes in. All games released on the handheld can be downloaded and played on the console. That way their console has the most robust library possible and the handheld can't cannibalize console sales. For people who love physical, it has a cartridge slot for handheld cartridges. They sale the handheld games for $40 as usual and 30$ on the eshop. That way western gamers feel they're getting a good deal when they buy the next over the top Zelda, Pokémon, Fire Emblem, 2D Metroid, etc. and people who love physical still have their option they can pay for.

The next SKU is the handheld. It's basically a next gen handheld GBA with the same control setup as the console with the same OS simply scaled down. It can play the 'handheld' titles that would be your typical 3DS fair. Fire Emblem, Pokémon, 2D Mario, Monster Hunter, JRPGs, indies, VC, etc. to satisfy the Japanese demographic. If you have the console though you can stream the console games to the handheld via wifi, meaning Nintendo never having to do two versions of their AAA titles (3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash), basically all the games we got two versions of this gen that potentially stole console sales.

The final SKU is a bundle of the first two at a discount.

With this model Nintendo could focus on their home console while maintaining their handheld demographic but never competing against it.

Why are you throwing x86 into there?

Because that's the industry's standard architecture.

#314703 Iwata acknowledges the reaction of Ninty's Digital Event

Posted by Azure-Edge on 16 June 2015 - 01:14 PM in E3 2015

It wasn't just the pacing, it was the content.

We have a mainline Starfox that looks like it's just a reimagined Starfox 64 (still awesome) that seems to require gyro controls (fail).

New Fire Emblem (awesome).

Xenoblade Chronicles X release (so painfully far away, but still loved).

Jpop Fire Emblem/Persona/Vocaloid (I honestly don't know what to think about that).

Yoshi Wooly World (it looks cute, we get it)

That's literally it for mainline games. Everything else was a side game or an Amiibo advertisement. Show off Fatal Frame or Devil's Third? You know, games that gamers would actually like. No, we need a lady talking about how she made yarn Yoshis. If this is what Nintendo is being transformed in to then count me out.

#309906 Tantalus’ Wii U port will be announced soon for this year, studio’s biggest .

Posted by Azure-Edge on 01 March 2015 - 08:25 PM in Wii U Games and Software

My greater concern is that they are apparently porting a Wii U game to the PS4/Xbox One...

Ya see, I'm all for the Wii U getting more games, but losing exclusives? They'd better not be porting Bayonetta 2 (and btw, that CAN be possible since Sega owns the IP and can publish a port on other systems themselves [obviously outsourcing the port job to a developer like Tantalus] if there is no explicit part of the contract stating that the game will remain Wii U-only indefinitely).

This is much like how Mass Effect, originally published by Microsoft Game Studios, eventually ended up on other platforms through EA buying out Bioware and Bioware owning the IP.

It's probably sonic boom.

#313563 Considering Hard Drives for my Wii U.

Posted by Azure-Edge on 31 May 2015 - 07:30 AM in Wii U Hardware

I don't se why not, but a cheap flash may be slower and 64gb doesnt last long.

It'll be enough for me. All I'm downloading is dlc and indie/virtual console titles. Even if each one of those was a gb I'd still get around 60 titles which is more than I'll ever buy.

Heu guugguys, I was just wondering, can the Wii U use a 64gb flash drive? I don't need a whole tb and would rather not have to have another power supply.

#310199 Xenoblade Chronicles 3D - Final Game Stable, Steady Frame Rate

Posted by Azure-Edge on 08 March 2015 - 06:20 AM in General Gaming

I'm a web developer and at my current job I sometimes have three virtual machines running depending on what I'm working on (3 apps that live in different places but communicate with each other). *shrug* At any rate, I didn't pay for it.

I'm starting to think I'd like to build a PC at home for gaming. Maybe I'll make another thread to ask for advice.

Not to get off topic but if you want to build a pc, look up Austing Evans on YouTube. He has a ton of vids for pc related stuff.
