#38338 Hello everyone!

Posted by Katana on 23 October 2011 - 07:11 PM in Introduction Central

Hello and welcome to the forum:)
Yes I don't mind other systems (its all personal choice right) but I prefer Nintendo games more:)
But then I have played their games for ages,so I know the quality of Nintendo's games and hardware and they have never let me down:)
Plus Link,Samus,Mario are the coolest game characters around:)
So I suppose that makes me a fanboy too and as you said we would not be on this site I'f we was not:)
At the moment I am loving OOT (all over again) and Starfox 64...but have Mario 3D land on pre-order,but the game I am dying to play is Mario Kart 7...
But of course want Wii-U like...now ha ha.



#38786 Wii U Price Discussion

Posted by Katana on 26 October 2011 - 03:56 PM in Wii U Hardware

Well I have heard a rumour from someone who's brother works for a big game developer and he told me the the price in the UK will be £250-299....Of course I can't say this is definite...but his brother has worked for this company for many years on Xbox,360 and PS2,PS3 software and they working on Wii-U now too.
The Wii-U looks great and is...but its not really next gen.A lot of it is of the shelf parts that have been around a while.
The days of massive profits are over (for now) and adaptability is the name of the game.
My friend did stress this is a rumour within the company but I think this sounds about right.

#39049 Wii U's Release Window revealed?

Posted by Katana on 28 October 2011 - 10:03 AM in Wii U Hardware

Yeah of course I would love Wii-U now but I saw this coming,I think Nintendo want to push 3DS as much as possible before Sony release their new handheld.But I think they have learnt a lesson from the 3DS launch...software,software,software....and they will be busy getting triple A titles ready for launch...I have heard a rumour a Mario title is in the works and Wii-U needs it.I dont mind waiting as long as Nintendo get it right...I held off buying a 3DS because it had no software for like ages and Nintendo cant repeat that.
My guess is that Wii-U will go on sale in Nov next year.
But do not forget the awesome titles coming for 3DS like MK7,Mario 3D,Kid Icarus,Luigis Mansion 2,RE Revelations,MGS,Sonic Generations to name a few:) So that machine will keep me happy until Wii-U comes out:)
And when Wii-U gets released it will have Arkham City,GTA and hopefully a Mario or Metroid game (just what are Retro up to at the moment..??? does anyone know...???please tell me I'f you do.
And who knows Nintendo may even change the nubs for sticks on the controller etc...Its all good I think :)



#39052 Which OOT is better so far?

Posted by Katana on 28 October 2011 - 10:37 AM in General Gaming

Having played the original tons of times (and still consider it one of the best games ever) and today just completing the Forest Temple on the 3DS I have to say so far the 3DS...more detail,smoother frame rate,better lighting so yes 3DS.
But I did love the N64 controller...Z-button and stick was great :)



#39053 Is games & consoles sold in Australia a rip off?

Posted by Katana on 28 October 2011 - 10:47 AM in General Gaming

I used to talk to an Aussie gamer and he just complained about release dates..Aus use the PAL system like we do in Europe but still they seem to get games generally later than us...this I find strange.Like MK7 gets released in the UK on Dec 2nd,but Australia its just listed as Dec?
I think in terms of pricing it depends on how much people earn...I think generally wages are higher in Aus than say the US or the EU etc so thats why the price is higher.

#39192 This is an introduction thread

Posted by Katana on 29 October 2011 - 08:26 AM in Introduction Central

Dazzle offer good capture cards...quite reasonable prices too...I am not sure how user friendly they are though... :ph34r:



#39694 What games would you like to see make an HD remake or revived on the Wii U

Posted by Katana on 29 October 2011 - 11:18 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Remake:Starfox (SNES) Majoras Mask (N64) Goldeneye (N64..Licence rights is an issue here I think though) Metroid Prime 1,2,(Cube) MP Corruption (Wii)
They should do all 3 Prime games in HD boxed together:) Resident Evil 4...come on that will be great:) Mario 64 HD(N64)



#39868 Intro.

Posted by Katana on 30 October 2011 - 07:50 AM in Introduction Central

Welcome to the forum:)
Hmmm maybe I should ask...are you getting MK7...??? Thats I'f you have a 3DS of course.....



#39878 Will the Wii U controller run on Batteries or Charger?

Posted by Katana on 30 October 2011 - 08:06 AM in Wii U Hardware

My guess is that it ill be like the 3DS...rechargeable battery plus charger (which can be used during gameplay...I hope)
Because I think the 3DS can last around 3-4 hours on one charge (all effects on) but the Wii-U tablet has bigger screen,its also shoving around lots more polygons,lighting etc than the 3DS,so the power consumption will be heavy...I hope the controller is full usable with all games etc when charging...I am sure Nintendo have taken all these things in to account but its got me pondering.
But that being said the Wii-mote battery life was good (around 15 hours using all features) so its just the screen that will be intensive....
I am afraid I am sort of guessing but good question though:)



#39883 Will the Wii U controller run on Batteries or Charger?

Posted by Katana on 30 October 2011 - 08:55 AM in Wii U Hardware

Ahh yes good point...well maybe it will not be that intensive then.



#39937 Your favorite video game character?

Posted by Katana on 30 October 2011 - 12:26 PM in General Gaming

For me probably Samus Aran...but Link a close second.



#39960 Do you think Nintendo should move to the iPhone?

Posted by Katana on 30 October 2011 - 01:10 PM in General Gaming

Playing a Nintendo game on anything else but a Nintendo console is unthinkable.
Sega really have not been the same since they have been forced down that road.Although some of their output has been good the glory days of Yu Suzuki and the AM depts churning out hits seems to be sadly behind them:)
I would not play a Zelda,Metroid,Mario etc on anything else but a Nintendo console and I think many others will feel the same.
And gaming on a phone sucks (my opinion) Sure its cheap but not good.
3DS has been slow off the mark,but that was pricing and no software at launch.Learn and move on.But the future for 3DS is good and I would take that over any phone (and I don't care how smart that phone is)
But I'f Nintendo made a deal with these companies to sell much older games etc to help fund their R&D etc then I would say do it.
But MK7 or Mario 3D on a phone...laughable.
These stockholders don't know s**t...!!!
