#41016 I'm Back!

Welcome to the forum :D



#40785 Shenmue 3?

Posted by Katana on 03 November 2011 - 01:53 PM in General Gaming

I had a Dreamcast and played the first one and was impressed by it.It really was something new in its time (you even had to take up a job as a fork lift driver to earn cash) and also you could play mini games like darts etc.But most of the time you was investigating things.
The end of the first game was epic when you left on a boat in to the sunset to start the next part of the adventure.

#36247 Hi everyone...

Posted by Katana on 14 October 2011 - 05:00 AM in Introduction Central

Hello,
I am Mark...Hmmm where do I start...OK...!!
Been playing Nintendo machines for years,don't own any other systems.
Big fan of Mario Kart Wii,Metroid and Zelda.
Just bought a 3DS and can't wait for MK7...really...can't...wait:(
Will be getting Wii-U as soon as it comes out:)
And I do other stuff thats more boring like read Batman comics and listen to Metal ha ha.
Want to know more or I'f you are a Karter and want to add on MK talk to me:)
Thanx.



#40271 I am beginning to wonder...yet would NOT be surprised if it would end up so...

Posted by Katana on 31 October 2011 - 12:35 PM in Wii U Hardware

Yes I agree,Nintendo stated a while ago that the industry was shrinking and that new audiences had to be found.The Wii was very successful in doing this but I think it didn't get the balance right...for every great game on the Wii there was a 100 rubbish 'lifestyle' games like Wii-Fit and Cooking with Mama...please don't get me wrong I have nothing against these titles but there was just too much of them and not enough triple AAA titles on the shelf.Also I bet most Wii-Fit peripherals are sitting in a cupboard rotting.
To survive companies will be looking to expand this audience and thats fine but they have to cater for the more gamer minded player like me and I guess most of the people on this forum...but I think the Wii-U will appeal to many different people over different ages...something the other two in their present forms will not do (unless they copy Nintendo which is a possibility)
There will be lifestyle peripherals and more of the same that the Wii had but with a difference...big developers will be on board this time bringing the 'hardcore' titles to Wii-U (something the Wii did not have) and I'f Nintendo expand on this audience will only mean that more sales of the machine,more dev companies getting involved,means me and you will have a bigger selection of games.The Wii was just not powerful enough to run these big name games but now its different.
I hope women,children,men,grannys and even the cat buys Wii-U and that their tastes are catered for because that will mean mine will be too :D



#36395 Hi everyone...

Posted by Katana on 14 October 2011 - 06:15 PM in Introduction Central

Thank you all for the cool welcomes:)
OK questions questions....
I love the film Zatoichi and Katana just sounds cool...so chose it:) so maybe I have some Samurai in me LOL.
I am not a 'troll' well for a start I don't live in a cave...I try to get along with everyone and never saw sense in rowing about systems,specs,games LOL...you like what you like right...???
First game I ever played..?? Mario Kart on SNES:) been hooked on Nintendo ever since then,had every system,every game that was wroth getting.Even Goldeneye broke up a relationship I had...but hey it was a great game right...??? and bought a 3DS last weekend so I am ready for MK7...oh and Luigis Mansion 2 looks great...but my favourite game is probably OOT...but MK is very close 2nd...!!
I'f anybody wants to swap codes with me just ask...I'm very active on MKWii too as you may have guessed:)
And want Wii-U now...its genius...thats official...



#41069 Will Nintendo's image need to change before the release of the Wii U?

Posted by Katana on 06 November 2011 - 01:53 PM in General Gaming

We'll I remember the quite dark days of the 64 and the darker days of the Cube,lack of support was crippling their machines and I have to be honest on the Cube Nintendo did not even make the best games on that system (my opinion) but I though that RE4 and Metroid Prime (yes Retro are close to Nintendo but not in-house) was the best titles on it and it was a tough time defending Nintendo.Then the Wii came along and Microsoft/Sony fanboys rubbished that system as we'll and to some degree they had a point.Shovelware and a lack of good titles.Its like Nintendo have been adapting/changing/branding etc but didn't quite know where to position itself...casual...hardcore...(hate these terms but makes it easier) or are they both and then end up pleasing no-one.
Just 2 days ago I was talking to a 360 player in my local comic shop and he admitted that he loved generic titles...shooters with no brains...another driving game as realistic as possible and he had never heard of Zelda...I am being serious :o
Nintendo have to prove this time round that they want to compete with Sony/Microsoft for the big games like GTA and they seem to be doing this,we all know the titles that have been mentioned.I hate to say it but Nintendo need to cater for these players because there are lots of them,then they will cater for the lifestyle crowd and also players like us that buy Nintendo machines to play Nintendo games.
I think there is a crowd of people that think big guns,big men,big explosions = hardcore great game....and a plumber or an elf running around saving a princess is for kids...but I did say to this guy I met that I'f he played OoT he would be stuck 15 mins in because he is used to generic brainless crap...and he agreed :D
I think it is cultural...FIFA...COD etc dominate and to be honest I hate these games,but Nintendo have to get these players on-side so yes more re-branding it seems :) but something tells me Nintendo know this.And as soon as I saw the controller I knew Nintendo had changed direction,and the machine is more powerful that I thought it would be (I was expecting the same as 360) so Nintendo have entered the graphics arena again.
Also the 3DS is really gaining momentum now with the software being released and then it will be trickle..trickle of Wii-U...I have to be honest for the first time in a while I am confident of Nintendos chances and that Wii-U will be known as a gamers machine :D

#41111 Will Nintendo's image need to change before the release of the Wii U?

Posted by Katana on 07 November 2011 - 05:08 AM in General Gaming

#40273 Hi, I'm New

Posted by Katana on 31 October 2011 - 12:49 PM in Introduction Central

Hello and welcome to the forum :D
Don't worry I understood your English perfectly :D
I have raced many Japanese Karters on Mario Kart Wii like Keke,Chikuten,Yutori...they are very tough opponents :blush:
I am a bit of a Mario Kart fanatic as you will find out and can't wait for Mario Kart 7 :D
But I like Metroid and Zelda too ;)
But I know nothing of Pokemon and Monster Hunter :P
It will be interesting to hear what games you play most and what you are looking forward too :)

#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.

#40733 Steve Jobs more Influential then Miyamoto, What!?

Posted by Katana on 03 November 2011 - 01:16 AM in General Gaming

We'll I have nothing against Apple but at the same time do not own any of their products (and probably never will)
Apple stuff seems very expensive and I really don't care about mobile phones,my current mobile sends SMS's,can ring people,surf the net and thats all I require from it.Steve Jobs was a clever man no doubts,but Apple is a fashionable brand as much as making tech devices.
But its fair to say without Nintendo and Miyamoto gaming would be dead.And so many things that are industry standard now Nintendo developed.
Plus game design for me is as meritable as making music,painting or sculpting and anything else thats considered art or culture.
The I-Phone might be popular but Mario is the most recognised characeter on the planet,thats a fact...most children in Africa know who Mario is but not Mickey Mouse.
And I hate to say it but its true but when someone dies their achievments are elevated higher etc than when they were alive...so true of many artists and musicians...



#40838 high resolution zelda tech demo pics

Posted by Katana on 04 November 2011 - 01:05 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Yes its an awesome demo and shows what Wii-U is capable off :)
But I also have a feeling that demo will end up in the game,its too good not to :D



#45030 HATERS?(in general)

Posted by Katana on 03 December 2011 - 04:03 AM in General Gaming

Well a fanboy is created as soon as someone walks in to a shop and spends loads on a console and games,then they have to argue,put down,other systems to reassure themselves they made the right decision.The worst type of fanboys will go on a forum for example and read a review of a game not related to their system then start pulling that system to pieces,these guys suck bad because of their massive insecurity issues.
Haters will hate,trolls will troll,flamerz will flame and insecure dog turds should not be allowed near the internet.
