Not this topic again *sigh*

 

Look, i can agree with some of your points, it's pretty poor on nintendo's part to not feature any advertising. But for gods sake, the system has been out for less than 4 months, what did you expect. It was the same for Sony when they first released, the system prices were through the roof and to top it off there was hardly a single game that made the system worth buying, but look where it's at now (aside from Sony's financial issues).

 

Yes the WiiU could be better, yes i definitely needs more games, just don't expect that it will be perfect within the first few months.

 

It will be fairly important that Nintendo shows off a huge list of games and upcoming features during E3 if they want to stand out against their competition, yes it would be better if they just released another Nintendo direct for this reason but Nintendo really needs to leave a mark this year. It's most important that they stick to their promises and avoid delaying games.

 

 

Just remember that the PS4 and 720 aren't even out nor have we got much information about either, you can't expect that they will rise on top based on what we know so far. A few issues will need to be resolved quickly in order for these consoles to avoid poor sales.

 

*The architecture will be fairly different from their previous consoles taking developers at least a year to really understand it, this could lead to some sloppy ports (maybe).

*Price: In this economy both consoles can't afford to price themselves at anything to far off $500, add that to the cost of 24 hour online connections (if that rumour is true) as well as the Gakai servers (Which will most likely be charged) and you have yourself a very expensive machine.

*Innovation: What will they brig thats different enough other than better graphics.

 

I'm sure both consoles will be fine but they just need to be aware of these issues.

 

My suggestions for Nintendo would be:

*Hire more staff to help reduce development time and allow for much more game development.

*Advertise everywhere, wether it be showing a tv commercial, a magazine article or showing the console off on a kids tv program, DO SOMETHING.

*Instead of a massive line up of games announced at E3 just release a steady stream through Nintendo direct.

*Don't delay you're games for too long.

*Get dat third party support

 

Note this is entirely my opinion, feel free to disagree.

Just because the Wii U has a lot less ram doesn't mean it's a lot weaker, in fact according to many developers it seems like they just have two very different architectures.

The PS4 may have 8GB of ram but that doesn't mean thats entirely dedicated to the game, the majority of it will be used to help run the OS and perform all the live streaming and whatever else they want to run.

Like if your a strong independent gaming analyst who don't need no Nintendo

 

 

Cheers to everybody's favourite gaming analyst for this wonderful piece of insight, said no one ever.

Before i start my rant, i want everyone to know this is purely my opinion, feel free to disagree.

 

The WiiU has been the most innovative console we have seen so far, what has the PS4 given us? A small touch pad on the controller, the ability to stream demos (which won't be possible on 85% of the planet), more pointless uses for your move controller.

 

The kinect 2.0 will be very unlikely to be the main selling point of the 720 and other than that we haven't heard anything new that would give most people a reason to buy it except for the promise of better graphics and thats about it.

Yeah, I don't know if they will. But there biggest problem is with there dvd. 25GB is small compared to 50GB, and that is what Sony pushing developers to do. But we'll see.

I don't think this will be too much of an issue, it will be a while before developers use all that space. Im not sure if the WiiU could have an expanded disc size like the 3DS cards did (Resident Evil:Revelations used an 8GB card while most games used only 2GB).

Skype is owned by Microsoft, but it could happen.

I have a feeling that Sony might start charging for all online services just like Microsoft.

Why doesn't that surprise me

As long as we can get Battlefield 4 il be happy.

EA have just been terrible for so long with fairly mediocre games and lack of support for WiiU.

As the title suggests Alien Colonial Marines is getting some fairly terrible reviews.

Note that this is the PS3/360/PC version, the WiiU version won't come out to a little later which should hopefully fix up some of the issues.

Problem is that mobile games were never really intended to be a platform for in depth games. The best games available on the IOS market were all intended to be games you could play on the fly (during a bus ride for instance) and these are the ones that sell well, examples of these are fruit ninja, jetpack joyride and Angry birds.

Some companies are trying to make in depth and lengthy games work on the IOS platform but really it just doesn't work that well.

Thats just my opinion, feel free to argue.

no surprise considering the wiiu is a 7 year old console

This isn't your regular stupid, this is...ADVANCED STUPID

Neat, wish the video had more gameplay footage.

Why does this remind of that time when those people stole those trucks with a cargo of 7000 WiiU's

I like Iwata and hope that things can turnaround for the better. If anyone needs to go, it's Reggie. He's completely clueless. VC releases in NA have been a joke and fans had to create a movement(O:R) just to get Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower over here. Reggie's good for internet memes and that's about it. NOA needs someone who knows games and understands the fans. Reggie doesn't.

I don't think he's body will be ready for that

KFC doesn't actually cut up their own chicken, if is plucked and cut up and bagged by another company and sent in fresh for the day, so it was likely the suppliers fault that that happened since this brain like organ was concealed underneath the chicken. I work at KFC so i know.

Mine would definitely have to the N64 controller. Despite all the palm blisters i received trying to beat the 'pedal power' mini game in Mario Party 1 it still has me coming back for more.
