I've seen every episode. I'm waiting for Season 2.

#11054 Wii U Price Discussion

Posted by Kinvara on 26 June 2011 - 12:49 PM in Wii U Hardware

$349 is going to be my guess.

#11377 Origin of your username

Posted by Kinvara on 29 June 2011 - 10:09 AM in The Café

The name of a project my Dad worked on years ago- it sounded cool so I took the name.

It's also the name of a village in Ireland.

#6453 Could the Wii 2 be outdated soon?

Posted by Kinvara on 14 June 2011 - 06:31 PM in Wii U Hardware

I doubt that the PS4 and NeXtBox will be THAT much more powerful than what the U is packing so we won't get screwed with multiplatform releases like we did with the wii. (at least I hope so)

#10303 StarFox Assault 2 Could It Happen?

Posted by Kinvara on 22 June 2011 - 07:11 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I've never played a Star Fox game... but I will be getting the remake for the 3DS! I'm really excited about it. Miyamoto did mention in an interview one time that he always disappointed that StarFox 2 had to be shelved. The 3DS remake could be a sign the series is ready for a comeback!

#7820 Do you believe in 2012?

Posted by Kinvara on 16 June 2011 - 03:27 PM in The Café

Hold on let me check... well it appears that the year 2012 does exist so I guess that's a yes then.

#6455 Pikmin 3

Posted by Kinvara on 14 June 2011 - 06:36 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I played Pikmin New Play Control on the Wii and absolutely loved it! But I kept holding off on getting Pikmin 2 since I wanted to get the wii version. I hope they release a Pikmin trilogy for the U.

#11375 How backwards compatible is the WiiU?

Posted by Kinvara on 29 June 2011 - 10:03 AM in Wii U Hardware

That would be awesome if it meant they played on the WiiU controller, because those old VGA games would look good on it whereas they look dreadful on a HDTV.

I would certainly be happy to buy Starfox Adventures again if I could play it on a screen it actually looks good on. Although the question is, can you still output the sound from your 5.1 surround setup when playing on the WiiU controller? There is no technical reason not to, but Nintendo seem to like to make our minds up for us rather than giving us options.

I agree. It would be nice if you could stream older games from the Virtual Console to your controller since you only need one screen anyway.

#11379 Film Thread 2011

Posted by Kinvara on 29 June 2011 - 10:16 AM in The Café

Update:

Super 8 was pretty good. Not great. I have no desire to see it again but I enjoyed it for what it was.

Cars 2 was a huge disappointment-very mediocre. I wasn't expecting much but still... it's Pixar's worst film by a landslide.

#7817 Film Thread 2011

I've seen Kung Fu Panda 2. Might see Super 8. Definitely going to go see winnie the Pooh since I'm a big fan of traditional animation.

#6883 Wii U Colours?

Posted by Kinvara on 15 June 2011 - 07:24 AM in Wii U Hardware

Just to be different they should have a Navy-colored model at launch.

White is fine though.

#11469 Could "The Conduit" be Nintendo's halo?

Posted by Kinvara on 29 June 2011 - 04:25 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I've been wondering why [(Insert 3rd party name here)] would make The Conduit on the Wii when other consoles would be better suited(Don't get me wrong I love it on my shelf) due to it's HD and hardware capabilities. If they plan on making The Conduit an all time exclusive this could be really good for Nintendo since there aren't many exclusives that would appeal to the "Hardcore" gamer of the Ps360 and a exclusive like this could change that. What do you think?

I think they have potential but in order to differentiate themselves from the rest of the scifi FPS's out there- they should make The Conduit 3 (or whatever it may be called) a parody by making it as ridiculous as possible.

#9921 Worst Pokemon design?

Posted by Kinvara on 21 June 2011 - 05:02 PM in General Gaming

I think Gen 4 had the worse pokemon ever. Mostly due to the fact there are a lot of stupid evolutions to older pokemon. Such as...

Whenever someone says 1st generation pokemon are the best... I post these two:

#6880 Wii U will not play DVD's Do you care?

Posted by Kinvara on 15 June 2011 - 07:22 AM in Wii U Hardware

I don't care. I have a PS3 to play the bluray dvds I get and to occasionally play games on. I want the Wii U to be for games and games alone. It would probably drive up costs anyway.

#8458 Most Anticpated Wii Game 2011

Posted by Kinvara on 17 June 2011 - 05:00 PM in General Gaming

SKYWARD SWORD. It looks like a fresh, new take on the zelda franchise.

I liked Twilight Princess but it was way too formulaic in my opinion.

#10305 7 things you didn't know about the Wii U.

Posted by Kinvara on 22 June 2011 - 07:17 PM in Wii U Hardware

Stopped reading at Fox News. JK.

I already knew all of this info but I hope the U supports more than one tablet controller.

#7810 The Wii U needs 3rd party exclusives...badly

Posted by Kinvara on 16 June 2011 - 03:11 PM in Wii U Games and Software

The Conduit was fun, but I think the Wii U really needs more 3rd Party support, because it could end up like the Wii. When was the last time Nintendo had a lot of 3rd Party support? N64?

I think it was SNES. Nintendo lost a lot of third party support on the N64 when it kept cartridges instead of switching to discs.

#11781 The Wii U Power Debate

Posted by Kinvara on 01 July 2011 - 06:43 PM in Wii U Hardware

The Wii U will be very powerful, surpassing the PS3 and X-Box 30 power-wise.

It has been confirmed that this will be the case, my source right here:

Good ol' David. The U is going to be a powerful system- no doubt about it.

#6879 "The Wii U Controller Needs Analog Sticks and Triggers"

Posted by Kinvara on 15 June 2011 - 07:19 AM in Wii U Hardware

It doesn't really matter to me as long as the controls work. I never had a problem with the wiimote despite the many complaints and I doubt I'll have a problem with the U.

#6451 The Wii U is 50% more powerful than the Xbox 360 and PS3?

Posted by Kinvara on 14 June 2011 - 06:27 PM in Wii U Hardware

This "50%" just comes out of nowhere and probably means nothing but as long as it's significantly more powerful to the PS3 and Xbox 360 I will be a happy gamer.

#11382 Golden Eye Might Be THE Nintendo FPS

Posted by Kinvara on 29 June 2011 - 10:23 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm just the messenger so don't fire; do you remember the sequel to Goldeneye developed by EA, "Rouge Agent"? It's possible for any company to milk anything regardless of it being good or not. The game was eventually ported to the PS2 and a sequel was in development using the Multiplayer Mechanics of "Halo: Combat Evolved" but was scrapped due to poor sales.

Also

What the? What game is featured on that 3DS? (Sorry, but I'm completely unfamiliar with Golden Eye.)
