#314992 Post Here Every Time You Get Something!

I got a few things recently

Spoiler

Because the picture is massive
I got a new mouse, new fans for my pc (i only wanted the green leds, I didnt need them) 2 new desks, a chair (as you can see, I like green) and 4 amiibos...Ignore the mm 3ds, thats just there because I pulled it out of my pocket when I sat down




#314985 What do you want to see in the NX?

Posted by SPG on 18 June 2015 - 07:54 PM

So 2 things before I start this off, I get to rewrite this because the forums hate me and decided to crap out when I hit preview so I lost everything excluding the title. The other one being that the search function on the site doesnt work (at least for me) so if this a dup then ctrl F has failed me so I apologize ahead of time.

So that aside lets talk about what you want in the NX and what you think will make it successful. At first I thought the NX would be the next handheld being how the 3ds is older than the Wii u, but after the start of the digital event for e3, and what recent interviews have suggested (most notably the one about Metroid Prime 4) its a safe bet that its a home console, or the 15 year old rumor of it being the "fusion" (seriously, its old, no idea why people keep thinking the fusion is a new rumor, tis far from it)

So there are a few things that I think will help nintendo make a 180 and bring back the core audience being how they lost casuals for the most part. 

  • First and foremost the console needs to pack a punch, be powerful, just as or more so as the ps5 and the xbone2. I am well aware this will cost a pretty penny but they HAVE to do it, or it will be screwed just like the wii u was the moment it came out being better than last gen, but weaker then next gen. The best way to do this would be to bite the bullet and take a loss on the console like how sony did at the start of the ps4, this may be odd to say, but this will make sense the more you read trust me.
  • Make the system x86, This wont go away with the next generation I can assure you so nintendo might as well do it, a reason they are hurting now is that development costs have gotten more expensive so 3rd parties dont want to spend the time and money trying to work out a way to port something to the nx if its hard, early ps3 games are a great example of this, its cell cpu made it a nightmare for devs to the point the games ran like crap, or looked bad (most the time both)
  • Please the 3rd parties, this is a major reason why the wii u is having a hard time keeping up (next to one other reason) there are 2 things they should do to go about this
  • Once again, make the hardware powerful
  • Drop the gimmicks, if they're so keen on doing it, make it a separate bundle like the kinect where you aren't forced to buy it. If you want games to use it, then it will end up being like skyward sword where people will go out of their way to buy that piece of hardware just to play the game. But a gimmick pulls away from other resources for the system and shoots the price tag up.
  • Don't focus on backwards comparability, I feel as though this is another reason the wii u is as weak as it is now being how the hardware lets it be a gamecube (because a wii is more or less a over clocked gamecube) If they do it 100% through emulation like the xbone, fantastic, but for the most part nintendo's consoles are backwards compatible because they have the old hardware in them adding to the cost of the system and pulling away from the new system itself. If you really care about playing your old games, keep your old system, its not rocket science.
  • Add bigger hard drives, I dont see physical media going away any time soon, but more and more people are downloading games, and updates, dlc etc take up a great chunk of the hdd space as well, give us at least a 500gb, 1tb would be best.
  • Make the console have usb 3.1, type c or what ever the fastest transfer/wildly used medium is...nuf said
  • let us use external drives...still
  • For the love of god please, PLEASE......PLEASE have a solid first and 3rd party line up at launch (even if you have to throw money at 3rd parties) put zelda wii u on the nx at launch, 3d mario, metroid....sorry I needed a good laugh, animal crossing, etc If you have a solid launch lineup like almost no one ever has, it will bring in new people incredibly fast. If you have 3rd parties on the other consoles look just as good or better (thats what throwing money at people is for) that will also bring in new people. With this, it wont matter if they're making a loss on the console at launch, the software is what will make them their money back especially since most people (from what I have noticed) buy at least 2 games at launch, more so if you have  a solid set of games to choose from that isnt shovelware.
  • Improve your online, they're already on the right track with the wii u, jsut further improve on it..how? I dont know, im not the person to ask since I don't care about online at all, maybe let friends talk with others while playing any game they please (I think xbox and playstation do this)
  • Let me play with my friends....Yes, you're starting to do online right, but I stil lcant play with my friends with most games, nintendo needs to learn not everyone can come to another's house, either it being them not having time from work, family, etc Just let me play games like mario party or super mario 3d world with my friends (ie they have to be in my friends list) is that too much to ask for?
  • Don't worry about making it small and sleek, this was a reason why the wii u is underpowered, they tried really hard to make it small (same with the wii) I'm not asking thme to make it a box like the xbox, but you can still make something some what large while looking nice, take the ps4 for example, its decently sized and looks cool.
  • I think that covers my main concerns, there is more I could talk about I'm sure, I didnt even touch on the fusion idea at all but what ever. So what do you guys think? do you agree? Disagree? Have no idea what I'm even trying to say since my grammar is atrocious? Let me know, I'd love to know what you guys think/want in the next console.

     

    edit: I should note, some of you may not care about some of this stuff I know, but this is to bring over new people, you may not care about 3rd party games, but others do, you may want the hardware to be different and not just another box, but look at it from a developers perspective, not your own.

    They better make a summer direct that is zelda U specific in 30 or so minutes in length :P

     

    If not then we might have to wait until the VGA awards again to see anything...

    i really dont want to sit through another vga rewards just to see zelda, that was painful to watch last year, it will be painful to watch this year




    #314885 Just got my first Wii U

    Posted by SPG on 17 June 2015 - 07:51 PM

    wii u is like the gamecube, everyone hates it now and in 2 generations it will be viewed as the best thing since sliced bread since people will see it for all of its great games instead of its hardware and lack of 3rd party
    (in other words, you can buy ~80% of the first party games with out regrets)

    oh right, nnid: pyroblock




    #314875 Where do we go from here?

    Posted by SPG on 17 June 2015 - 06:16 PM

    well, if someone else owns the site and gets the required perms to run it (even just basic ones for editing sub forms or something) would you have any idea how to bring traffic in? because thats the main issue is that there isnt anyone left, im just here because i made na account years ago and check back like once a week. Only been active recently due to e3 and there is actually stuff to talk about

    #314393 Mario Maker - Now Super Mario Maker?

    Posted by SPG on 14 June 2015 - 09:38 PM

    I'd buy it right away, only problem is  that each 3D mario game has game mechanics that all work differently, for example, you can run faster in 3D world than you can in other 3D mario games, and there's fludd, and the spin from SMG... all the achrobatics, hazards, gravity, etc... so much stuff that is different in each game :P

    plus you'd then have to factor in lag. Something you (shouldnt) have to worry about on the wii u with a 2d mario. But with 3d and you give 100% control to the player you'll have to add some limiters so the player doesnt over load the system. This can easily be done by assigning a value to what ever you're trying to place and show a max for what can be rendered ect ect, but the point of this 2d version is to throw all limits out the window so I think a 3d one would be too limiting for what nintendo would want in terms of a smooth frame rate...or I could be wrong and all that gets thrown out the window who knows.

    #311351 Zelda Wii u delay = NX launch title?

    Posted by SPG on 01 April 2015 - 10:04 PM

    im still curious on to why everyone thinks the nx will be the next console. It is clearly a handheld, especially sicne the 3ds is "far" older than the wii u (about 6-7 years old by the time we get the nx wii u being maybe 5)

  • #302802 Mario Kart Super Circuit Now Available for VC

    Posted by SPG on 13 November 2014 - 03:53 PM

    Time for people to relive a classic.

    Fun fact. I think this whole game was 2D but used certain means of giving a 3D look. I know how this works, but it's really really hard to explain.

    the gba actually supports 3d to a certain degree, it used the same (or very similar) technology the snes did but the chips were built into the gba instead of the cart. I think its called mode 7 or something to give it that look?
