I also want to watch Rango. It looks awesome and Johnny Depp is awesome.
Rio looks okay and I'm interested in seeing that too.
There's also Fast Five, Transformers 3 and that new Pirates of the Caribbean movie

#2822 Most Anticpated Wii Game 2011
Posted by Play4Fun on 14 May 2011 - 11:29 AM in General Gaming
E3 showings were a bit disappointing for many people but I think hype will soar once more when Nintendo show it off this year.
But alot of people are also looking forward to localization of XenoBlade and Last Story, which are both likely in my opinion.

#2662 Best Deal you ever got on a Game?
Posted by Play4Fun on 09 May 2011 - 04:46 PM in General Gaming
$1 US is $2 here.
PS2 games are still selling for between $60 and $100 (only sucky games cost below that), which is $30-$50 in America.
Current gen games are usually above $200.
So yeah...I haven't really ever gotten a deal here.

And yeah, if Nintendo achieves what rumors and Nintendo themselves say they are trying to achieve then I'm sure you'll get what you're looking for with Wii 2/Cafe/Whatever.

#2219 Wii to Cafe strategy Speculation.
Posted by Play4Fun on 27 April 2011 - 01:10 PM in Wii U Hardware
I think that the goal of the Wii was to act as an entry level platform, not necessarily a "bridge" platform. The next console, whatever it is, will, I think, be aimed to "bridge the gap" so to speak. Nintendo could achieve this by actively marketing to both the "core" gamers and the "Wii" gamers, where "'Wii' gamers" are the new gamers that have already bought into the Wii.
If they market aggressively to both camps, provide a plethora of solid games, as well as a few "casual" titles, and a few "bridge" titles, then I think Nintendo can reap the rewards of triumph over both sides.
In my honest opinion, I think Nintendo was actively keeping itself distanced from the "hardcore" camp. They had two real audiences to draw in with the Wii, it seems to me, the Nintendo loyalists, and the "new gamers." They were in a fairly safe position, I think. If they failed to draw in the "new gamers," then they could easily fall back on the loyalists and still rake in the dough. And let's be honest, Nintendo would have had to screw up REALLY badly to lose the majority of their fans.
As the Wii came to life, and the response from the "new gamers" was heard, I think Nintendo decided to divide up it's resources, targeting their new audience, as well as their core audience. I don't think they really cared about the the "hard-core" this generation, simply because they didn't need them, and furthermore, in a bid to entice the masses, they needed to appear very accessible, something not easily done when also trying to promote your product as "the console for 'REAL' gamers."
But now, Nintendo has acquired this market, they still have most of their loyalists, and they can move on. I think the next step for Nintendo is to convert the "new gamers" into Nintendo loyalists. These are impressionable gamers, though. They know what is being offered on the other platforms, and I think Nintendo recognizes that it might be enticing to some of them. In other words, a great number of them could probably look at the PS3 and Move or the 360 and Kinect as their next step up in gaming. To counteract that, Nintendo will have to provide similar experiences to what can be found on those competing devices, as well as unique experiences that can only be found on theirs.
In doing this, I think Nintendo will win over a lot of people who aren't already predisposed to hate them (for those their is no cure, methinks). It should also mean a much stronger platform with greater game quality and diversity for Nintendo fans.
TL;DR Version
This generation for Nintendo was targeted specifically to draw in the new gamers, and with this market sufficiently enticed, Nintendo will work on converting them to faithful Nintendo fanatics/core gamers. They will do this by equalizing the difference between themselves and the competition, and then adding some unique Nintendo flair to it.
[i]Keep in mind that this is just speculation. (Although it does sound very reasonable)

#2185 Nintendo-'When at first they don't succeed'
Posted by Play4Fun on 26 April 2011 - 05:38 PM in Wii U Hardware
Nintendo always seems to be experimenting and testing out things not only in their research building(s) but also on the market, hence all the add-ons.
In the GC days, Nintendo, I feel, failed at online but it didn't really matter in that generation anyways.
In the Wii days, Nintendo didn't fail at online. Wii's online system was never meant to rival Sony's or MS'. It was bare bones and seemed more like experimenting to me. It is what is was mostly meant to be. It seemed to me like Nintendo was partly using Wii's online to test certain things.
I think with Cafe, we will see Nintendo take a big step towards social gaming. Cafe will be a social console and the controller screen will be a big part of that I bet.
It won't just be a PS-NetWork/XBox Live rip-off. It will be different. It will have that...*Eyes shine and he waves his right hand in a semi-circular motion in the air*...Nintendo Magic.
3DS to Cafe connectivity will also play a big part in this.
#2184 What type of storage media will Wii 2 games come on?
Posted by Play4Fun on 26 April 2011 - 05:31 PM in Wii U Hardware
Bluray disc, because hopefully the wii 2 can play blu ray movies along with it. It would only make sense that they came on a blu ray disc.
Does it need to play movies when they'll have Netflix though?
We know how Nintendo are with these things.
#2183 The Wii 2 Mockups Thread
Posted by Play4Fun on 26 April 2011 - 05:29 PM in Wii U Hardware
Here is my latest Nintendo creation called the nStream Controller. It is based on many of the rumors surrounding the successor to the Wii and is formally inspired by the visor of Samus.
Any feedback would be appreciated as I'll continue to develop the design over time.
Jade.
Looks nice.
I wouldn't be surprised if the real thing turned out kind of differently than these mockups though. Few people got close to the Wiimote and nunchuk with their mock-ups.
#2163 Are all of those leaks real or fake?
Posted by Play4Fun on 26 April 2011 - 12:45 PM in Wii U Hardware
I'm sure those are fake. Wouldn't be surprised if the real system looks totally different.

Good to hear they won't leave the Wii to die a gruesome death.

Oh, I must have mistaken the comment for UE3 for UE4.

They'll be ready to launch as soon as possible if (when) the Cafe has an impact.
