Kid icarus reminds a bit of a valentine angel...Cupid

I think no one saw a Kid Icarus WiiU game coming, but it would make sense....


#170746 Even Rayman Legends Creator Protesting Wii U Delay

Posted by Lupaie on 12 February 2013 - 12:45 PM

it won't make any difference now, the damage has been done, i had Rayman on order after i enjoyed playing the demo, but even if it was released this month i still would not buy it.


There are a lot of "Ubisoft-can-not-restore-this-I-will-never-buy-rayman-again" voices on the web. I believe that we should stick behind the "petitions", "voice-of-the-fans" and the outcry of "Ancel and his devs". The only way to do that is actually buy the damn game if it is released in Februari. Not doing that will be childisch and will not only destroy our outcries in the future but will destroy the freedom of Ancel and his devs. Giving those stupid marketeers the "see, we told you so".

So f these actions turn into results and the game gets released in feb. Forget your pride and just buy this piece of history.


#170081 Why Nintendo should be important to Sony and MS

Posted by Lupaie on 10 February 2013 - 11:46 PM

I don't think they see it that way but...

I believe that a lot of parents buy Nintendo related products for their kids. The software and identity are much less scary for parents to buy for their younger children. I for one would not buy a 360 or PS3 solely for the kids. So in fact, it's because of Nintendo that children grow up with games and are hungry for something new when they are a bit older. Other than that, Nintendo is the key innovator whose efforts freshen up the gameindustry time after time. Fourpointcontrol, thumbstick, rumble, dualtouchscreen, motioncontrol. I think that without the big N things would become stale very quick.


#169777 Am I the only one who get emotionally attached to games?

Posted by Lupaie on 10 February 2013 - 11:01 AM

I have an old Zelda cardridge with a savegame from my father in law. He died before finishing the game. I can never finish that game for him but I can't delete that savegame either. Every time I see A link to the past....it makes it a really special game. I gave it to him in the first place and after he died it went back to my wife and me. Very emo stuff.

At least I've finally learned the "Don't Buy On Launch" lesson.


I really know better than to buy at launch...yet I never can stand the rush to buy.


#168825 The WiiU Society

Posted by Lupaie on 08 February 2013 - 12:28 PM

I must say, since I bought a WiiU i feel like some kind of Rebel fighting again the evil of the world. Well, no not exactly. But by being a small group of videogame fans united by our favorite gamecreator, I feel a bit special. I would nit want to mis it. Even if all goes wrong, at least I gave my best to support my favorite. I am actually following this adventure like a soap. There are many happy days but also a lot of troubles. It's an adventure, a massive adventure and we all are connected. The last few of us. Sure, we all can be xbots too, but what would be special about that?

---

Oh sure, this is not my life, its my hobby, and I am really into it now. Maybe if there was nothing troublesome going on, there was not so much to feel connected too. So lets all enjoy this ride!


#168631 I find your Ubisoft hate childish

Posted by Lupaie on 08 February 2013 - 03:17 AM

I don't think a company as big and influencial as Ubisoft, Acti and EA will adept only because of MS ruling. They would loose their in dependancy.

Back on topic. Poor devs, I really feel sorry for them. Only losers because of this Marketing decision. The DEVS, Nintendo, The WiiU gamers, and Ubi themselves. Raymans would have sold really well because there is NOTHING else to buy between now to end March. By posponing it to September they automatically sell less.

I dare to question if the combined Xbox360, PS3 and WiiU sales in September would equal the sales of a solo WiiU release in Februari.

UNLESS: Rayman is targeted for Next gen consoles ps4 and Nexbox...then it will be a launch game..and sell loads!


#168628 Repositioning the WiiU

Posted by Lupaie on 08 February 2013 - 03:04 AM

Alright, we heard many many messages about how hard it is to sell WiiU sellingpoints. The asynchronous gaming is very hard to communicate. Not only Miyamoto mentioned that in recent interviews but also Ubi, EA, Activision and so on.

Do I enjoy the minigames and the possibilities shown by Nintendoland....Yes I do. But even Miyamoto said that for instance Pikmin3 will be mostly about HD and not so much about the second screen.

There is however 1 big selling point that is almost NOT mentioned but I think it would be very easy to market it .

The Off TV screen play on the Wii Gamepad. Only imagine the commercials about this. Bored husbands watching As the World Turns, Bored children watching boring tvshows...and last but not least, bored wifes watching sports tv. It's so easy coming up with more interesting commercials too.
I really like the fact that I can keep on gaming on the pad, watch and react on miiverse...and go online.

They did reposition the 3DS, not anymore is the 3D effect the focus point. The should do it to WiiU too. Reposition it, forget Asynchronious play and promote the other superb functions as mentioned above!

#166163 Mario VS Sonic ... again

Posted by Lupaie on 03 February 2013 - 03:06 AM

Ha just wanted to share this.

Just a little bit more than 20 years me and my brothers and friends always argued about who was better. Sonic or Mario, and aside from the logic things like speed, acrobacy, attack the fight mostly evolved into a systembattle between Nes/Snes and Megadrive/Mastersystem.

Today I was cleaning the kitching while my kids were playing in the studio. All of a sudden i overheard the youngest(4) saying "no, Mario!" then countered by the oldest(6), "don't be silly, it must be Sonic"....but then, when I went into the studio the two set up the xbox360 with Sonic Gens, and the WiiU with NSMBWiiU, and were actually comparing screens while racing towards the end of the levels.  Mario won...of course. Because he's better :)
