#45375 Mario Kart 7 WiiU Community Thread

Posted by Katana on 05 December 2011 - 07:44 AM in General Gaming

Just seen on YT a terrible race winning glitch on MK7 :(
Re-spawns you so far ahead of the pack and unlike on Grumble volcano on MKWii where you could stop players doing that glitch with this one on MK7 you have no chance of stopping them do it.
Won't say the name of the track but I guess this will be chosen lots now and I wonder how many more there will be :(
Why can't Nintendo learn lessons :(


#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.


#43616 What music are you listening to at the moment?

Posted by Katana on 25 November 2011 - 02:46 AM in The Café

I am listening to a band called Born of Osiris at the moment...they are Progressive Death Metal and awesome:)


#41262 Zelda 3DS Graphics

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

^ I do not agree. What trilogy? If you mean OoT, Ura Zelda and Zelda64DD, they've already done that as Majora's Mask and Master Quest.

They said they want to do a new Zelda. I would like to think that it will be:
- Oracle of Secrets
- A story closely linked to Skyward Sword
- Something completely and utterly new, in that it does not closely relate to other Zelda games

Edit: Sorry, I didn't mean that to you Feld0, it is directed at Katana.
You just went all ninja-pony on me, that's all.

I mean a story that follows on from MM (which followed OoT) which would then it would complete a trilogy...then I'f they ported MM on the 3DS you would have that whole story arc.I thought master Quest was OoT with just some small changes to the dungeon designs etc (I played Master Quest on the Cube and struggled to tell the difference half the time) so that cant be classed as a new story arc???
And also they said they want to do a new Zelda because they was being asked about a MM port (Ounuma said he discussed this with Miyamoto and as they had ported OoT they thought a new Zelda game would be preferable to another port)...but that don't mean its gonna be some radical never seen before departure from the Zelda series...it will only be a something like cel shaded or semi-realistic and a different story...and what the hell is a Ninja Pony...???


#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

Ah I stand corrected..I thought Retro was only part owned by Nintendo.


#41107 Rumor: 3DS to receive a redesign and a new name starting in 2012.

Posted by Katana on 07 November 2011 - 04:18 AM in General Gaming

I think Nintendo should have called the 3DS something different so there was no confusion but it is what it is.
Also I can't really see where handhelds go from here,3DS has motion control,touch screen,analog,digital,more powerful than DS,3D screen,and you have to ask yourself what other feature can they invent or incorporate? What more can you do with a handheld?
I don't think a re-design will come out soon either (but one will be in the works,its the Nintendo way) but they are too busy trying to establish the current 3DS and will wan't to avoid causing more confusion with another 3DS on the market.
It was a bad launch,high price,confusion over its name,no games etc.But look at the games coming out over the next 6 months...lots of AAA titles and 3DS owners will be spolit for choice for software.
I don't really see anything progressive with other companies handhelds,they seem more of the same but more powerful and a few bells and whistles.
The fact of the matter is when it comes to handhelds Nintendo can't be beat...thats fact not fanboy talk and I don't see the status quo changing this generation.


#41106 -

Posted by Katana on 07 November 2011 - 03:54 AM in The Café

For me its just about MK7 :D
When the games out and I have played it a bit will probably go Metroid ^_^


#41105 Zelda 3DS Graphics

Posted by Katana on 07 November 2011 - 03:49 AM in General Gaming

I think this game will be similar to OoT and Majoras Mask because I think we may see the 3rd part of this story.
Miyamoto and Ounuma have discussed the MM port but decided a new adventure is needed first,so end the trilogy then port MM.
Just a theory.


#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


#41044 Known facts

Posted by Katana on 06 November 2011 - 10:34 AM in Wii U Hardware

To be honest no...thats why I could not dispute it totally but have played Nintendo consoles etc for years and they always create hardware thats quite easy to work with and they also help dev companies as much as possible.
I think looking back the 64 was probably the hardest machine Nintendo made to code for (big game worlds on carts,one reason Square went to Sony)
But Nintendo make reliable hardware thats accessible to players and coders so I would say at the moment its a rumour and no more.
But I have been wrong before ha ha...but I have heard nothing from 3rd parties to this rumour.


#41041 Known facts

Posted by Katana on 06 November 2011 - 09:48 AM in Wii U Hardware

Not sure what you mean here..what are basic slow movements for?

On another note, I am trying to find out more information in regard to the difficulties the companies are having while developing games that use the Wii U Tablet. So apparently, they are finding it hard to get the connectivity to work at all. This is making progress slow in development. Not too promising, even though its just 'rumour'..?

I would not say thats untrue but would also say that Nintendo give first class support to developers...I would say its the same this time round too.

#41014 Wii U sales wont go so well?

Posted by Katana on 06 November 2011 - 02:13 AM in Wii U Hardware

Yes I said at the time 3DS needed a different name to dis-associate itself from DS,most people thought it was a normal DS with 3D screens so didn't bother.Plus there was a lack of software at the start (SF4 was not enough to persuade me) and that price...!!!
Wii-U has been a bit shaky though,Nintendo did not quite get the presentation right at E3 (most people thought the tablet was the new console and didn't know about the desktop) and that was a bit of a mistake.Of course they are up to speed with it now and also Nintendo have another E3 to show it and the software.Nintendo will get the release right,good games,good price,but the recession is a problem...but people always find a way of getting the 'important' things :D
I think it will be fine and also Nintendo will have next year and maybe the year after to themselves...I don't see Sony or Microsoft releasing major hardware soon...and also Vita interest is dying I have heard.Might make Sony more reluctant to plough on with PS4 just yet.
I think Nintendo will be fine. :D


#40838 high resolution zelda tech demo pics

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

#40788 Wii U's Rejection.

Posted by Katana on 03 November 2011 - 02:18 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Batman Arkham City will be the first game I buy for it (thats if its a release title)
http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/20429723/Batman-Arkham-City/Product.html?searchstring=Batman%20Arkham%20City&searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&source=9593&_$ja=tsid:11853%7Cprd:78888&urlrefer=search


#40786 Do you believe in 2012?

Posted by Katana on 03 November 2011 - 02:01 PM in The Café

Complete load of nonsense spread by people with too much time on their hands,taking illegal substances and access to a computer and the internet.
The world will end one day...but its a long way off...so don't worry you will play Zelda on Wii-U....phew...!!!!!!


#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.


#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...
