Don't hack your console. Fixed.




#236362 Wind Waker Price & Masterquest?

Posted by Phanto on 01 August 2013 - 08:25 AM

I am ashamed to admit that even though I loved this game on the GameCube, I never completed it. Mostly due to that whole water traveling nonsense. That was just dumb, requiring you to sail across an ocean to grab things. I also don't care for flying in Skyward Sword. That was also dumb.

 

On the plus side, I actually completed Skyward Sword. Even though the flying was a major deterrent for me.




#229926 Nintendo to announce secret “brand-new types of games” for Wii U soon

A new Wii u sports would be cool

#229856 Is Zombi U A Good Game?

Posted by Phanto on 08 July 2013 - 07:29 AM

ZombieU is a great game. The problem it has is that most people were expecting of Call of Duty Zombie game and that's not what survival horror is, so they were disappointed. Survival horror isn't about taking on hoards of undead with almost unlimited ammo or just gunning your way blindly through the streets and killing anything that moves. It's about strategy, supply conservation, and using your brain to overcome problems. In that respect Zombi U is an amazing title and I think anyone who doesn't agree simply doesn't understand the survival horror genre.

I'm kind of on Nintendo's side with this one. I can't read Japanese anyway, so why would I want to play a game in Japanese?

 

...or French, or Italian, or any other language other than English. Can't read those languages.




#223477 Gamestop's pre-order scheme (don't fall for it!)

Posted by Phanto on 18 June 2013 - 10:46 AM

...I don't shop there anymore.

 

Good. Now if only everyone else would quit shopping there. The oppressive regime would fall!




#221038 Metroid or Donkey Kong Country Was a Hard Decision- Retro

Posted by Phanto on 13 June 2013 - 08:33 AM

I think they made the wrong choice.

 

I disagree. This new DK game looks like a lot of fun. I'm excited for it.




#221028 Iwata: more unannounced third party titles will come

Posted by Phanto on 13 June 2013 - 08:05 AM

Yep. It took me... years. I'm talking since the beginning of this crap back durring the N64's popularity to finally get it, but I now know it to be true. The denial is over and my faith in Nintendo is lost. They've lost touch with gamers and are unable to support 3rd party developers.

 

Game over, Nintendo. You've lost me. I can't believe your lies anymore and the Wii U is the last concole of yours I buy on launch day. Next time around I'm just going to wait until you prove yourselves to me. Sorry. Just the way it is now.

 

...And I've been a loyal fan of Nintendo since the NES. Sad times.




#220271 Full Access To Nintendo's Hi Res Screen Shots From E3

Posted by Phanto on 12 June 2013 - 09:34 AM

Super Mario 3D world is a wii u game! I know, its graphics suck and its gameplay looks meh. I hope it gets panned so Nintendo figures out that people don't want Mario to keep getting more linear and more linear! Its gone downhill since sunshine. The galaxies were alright, 3dland was good for a handheld, but we need something more substantial than 3Dworld for the U!!!!!!

Thanks for the login info OP!!

 

I completely disagree. Super Mario World 3D looks like a lot of fun with the new gameplay mechanics and challenges it will offer. I don't see Mario as becoming more linear, as there is still a lot of exploration and discovery offered in various ways, such as the hidden items discoverable through the gamepad for one example.

 

This doesn't mean I don't want a Super Mario 64-esque title to appear on the Wii U, I definitely do! For now, since we're not seeing that I am perfectly happy to purchase and support the wonderful and fun looking titles that Nintendo is offering.




#220268 Nintendo "Feels Good" About How It Stacks Up Against Sony And Microsoft

Posted by Phanto on 12 June 2013 - 09:18 AM

Sigh.... Donky kong country returns sold more by itself than every single metroid prime combined.

Mario 3d land sold more than galaxy 2 and almost as much as galaxy, on a platform with a fraction of the wii's user base.

 

This is why I am excited for both of these games. I loved Donkey Kong Country Returns and Super Mario 3D Land, so I am looking forward to seeing what fun new challenges await me with the newer titles. I am also a huge fan of Mario Kart, so Mario Kart 8 looks like another must-own game for me. Nintendo are making all the right moves, in my humble opinion.




#219812 New Mario

Posted by Phanto on 11 June 2013 - 02:17 PM

I'm so happy it's not Super Mario Galaxy 3! I need to find out when Toys R Us will let me pre-order it. Gotta get this on launch day.




#218244 Xbox One price and release

Posted by Phanto on 10 June 2013 - 10:18 AM

Yeah, I'm skipping the XBone. I maybe reconsider if that price drops. Until then I'll be paying more attention to the PS4. I want to get another console besides my Wii U.




#215516 Pachter Predicts Wii U Price Cut, Feels Nintendo Is Losing "Non-Tradition...

Posted by Phanto on 04 June 2013 - 08:06 AM

Pachter is an idiot. I never listen to a word he says. He just trolls Nintendo because he has nothing better to do.




#215212 USB HDD Disconnecting?

Posted by Phanto on 03 June 2013 - 02:00 PM

Hello friends,

 

I recently purchased a My Book for Mac 2TB External HDD, and an issue I have been having is that while I am watching Netflix the screen will suddenly go black. A message on screen says that the USB Hard Drive has been disconnected and that I must turn off the console.

 

The issue here is that the HDD was *not* disconnected. It was simply not being used for an extended period. At first I was a little puzzled and worried that I'd have to contact Nintendo about a faulty Wii U, but after thinking for a bit I am hypothesizing the issue lies with the HDD itself, perhaps in a "sleep mode" that could be initiated when it is not in active use.

 

Does anyone know that this is indeed the case? Has anyone else experienced this issue?

 

Any attempt at help is much appreciated. Thank you.




#215114 Mario Kart U Discussion.

Posted by Phanto on 03 June 2013 - 10:48 AM

...I think their finally breaking the pattern and the Mario Kart U will look better.

 

I certainly hope so. I know graphics aren't everything, but that's not an excuse to be lazy. Nothing wrong with actually putting effort into the visuals.
