#134944 Nintendo Says It’s Not Making Anymore Wii Games

Posted by dagwood dang on 20 November 2012 - 04:01 PM in General Gaming

I own a Wii, but I have no problem with Nintendo focusing all it's energies on Wii U.



#134930 iPad and Wii U most wanted by Kids (and Adults) this Christmas

Posted by dagwood dang on 20 November 2012 - 03:50 PM in The Café

Seems like the marketing portion is going well with Nintendo. These little tykes know what Wii U is. Kudos, Nintendo.



#129884 GTA V Trailer 2

Posted by dagwood dang on 15 November 2012 - 09:25 AM in General Gaming

Are you saying Chinatown Wars were aimed at kids?


Um... I said nothing of the sort... Huh?

I'm saying that R*, being a smart business, would need to see proof that the Wii U, a brand new console that many core gamers and Nintendo defectors might still be on the fence about, is worth the time and money to port over.

Chinatown Wars was simply a result of a successful deal between Nintendo and R*. Nintendo needed to prove that their already successful handheld was more than Style Savvy, Horsey Petz & Pokemon, and Rockstar made a title for them.
However, I don't think Rockstar was too happy with the return, since most DS owners were still buying Style Savvy, Horsey Petz and Pokemon.



#129710 GTA V Trailer 2

Posted by dagwood dang on 15 November 2012 - 12:59 AM in General Gaming

They should take a risk. Hell, look at Ubisoft. They're wasting a LOT of money on the Wii U banking on it's success.

And I'm pretty sure Take-Two is in control of what Rockstar releases on each system, but I could be wrong.


I'll bet Nintendo is having lots of talks with 'em about bringing the title over, and I hope they succeed. I'd be willing to wait another 6 months for the better graphics and whatever they can come up with on the U Pad.



#129705 GTA V Trailer 2

Posted by dagwood dang on 15 November 2012 - 12:48 AM in General Gaming

As of now, no plans for a Wii U release.
I'm sure R* would want to see a large number of mature gamers (in age only ;)) using the console before even considering making a Wii U version.



#128165 The voice of Elmo involved in sex scandal.

Posted by dagwood dang on 12 November 2012 - 12:06 PM in The Café

in england at the moment theres a dead guy who loads of people looked up to and he did a tv show called jim will fix it and he turned out to be a molester who was involved in over 80 cases of sexual abuse and this is bringing down bbc. (the equivalent of cbs or nbc) this guy was awful to children and trick 8 year olds in to doing it with him.
Sicko
Jim will fix it:

**blech!** That dude looks like a chi-mo. If I lived in the UK, my kids wouldn't watch that show, simply because looking at that guy would give them nightmares... ew with the stringy gold necklace on his blotchy skin... ... grosss!



#125966 Why I won't buy the Wii U (please read)

Posted by dagwood dang on 08 November 2012 - 09:37 AM in Wii U Hardware

While I agree that they could have easily programmed the Wii U Gamepad to function as a controller for any or all of the VC games, and that this whole situation reeks of greed,
I'm still going to buy a Wii U.

Besides I already have all those peripherals. I'd hate to not need them anymore. Still, it would've been nice not to have to switch controllers so much. Also, too many peripherals starts to feel gimmicky.



#124137 Nintendo's Next Handheld Epic Design Contest!

I'm excited to see everyone's ideas. Good luck everybody.



#122946 Nintendo 4DS!

4D. So it has a flux capacitor?



Like that? Here's all TEN dimensions...



...Welcome



#114369 What has Nintendo's massive R&D budget over the years gone into?

Posted by dagwood dang on 02 October 2012 - 08:21 AM in Wii U Hardware

10,000 pts to Socalmuscle.



#113913 Ninja Turtles

Posted by dagwood dang on 30 September 2012 - 12:13 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Licensed franchise games are risky for consumers, because they usually DO end up being shovelware titles, due to short, unreasonable deadlines. So if you ever see a game based on a TV series or movie, be cautious. Me? I never buy em.



#113911 One gamepad

Posted by dagwood dang on 30 September 2012 - 12:02 PM in Wii U Hardware

All in good time. Lets start with working toward using 1 gamepad for now. When we need 2, they'll be there.



#112962 Dont Buy ME 3 for Wii U , Wii EA

Posted by dagwood dang on 26 September 2012 - 01:56 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Why would they have to do that?


Well I suppose they wouldn't have to. Like I said it's not a great excuse.



#112894 Dont Buy ME 3 for Wii U , Wii EA

Posted by dagwood dang on 26 September 2012 - 09:38 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Yeah. Now I'm not getting ME3 either.


but if you think about it, the Wii U trilogy would have to be different from this trilogy, because EA would have to implement features on the Wii U gamepad for parts 1 and 2 as well. Maybe that's not a good enough excuse, but something to consider.



#112871 "Wii U's GPGPU Squashes Xbox 360, PS3;Capable Of DirectX 11 Equivalen...

Posted by dagwood dang on 26 September 2012 - 07:54 AM in Wii U Hardware

psh. Nobody here knows. lol.

I'll wait for Nintendo or a credible youtube video of someone literally opening a Wii U and breaking down the specs.

This is what rumors do to you poor ladies and gents.



#112870 GenGAME Rumor: Retro Studios Working on Game Engines for Wii U

Posted by dagwood dang on 26 September 2012 - 07:47 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Fake. They just HAD to mention UE4.

Yeah I realize this HAS to be fake, once they mentioned UE4, that sealed it.


So is it impossible for UE4 to work on the Wii U or something?
I don't know too much about the tech specs or requirements.
How does the mention of UE4 make it a false rumor? Just curious.



#112867 ZombiU Box Art : U for Ugly WiiU

Posted by dagwood dang on 26 September 2012 - 07:29 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Huh... :huh: ...I didn't notice any of that stuff...I still like the EU box art better though


Uh... You don't notice the GIANT white square shaped glare to the left of the soldier's hat?
That's not just some piece of paper blowing in the wind... it's a soft box flash.

Also, since the surface of an eyeball is convex, any imagery or reflection should bow along with the arch of the eye surface... The image of the soldier isn't doing that.

Kinda hard to not see these.

Like i said. Good idea, bad execution.



#109982 ZombiU Box Art : U for Ugly WiiU

Posted by dagwood dang on 19 September 2012 - 08:28 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Euro box-art breakdown:

(1) Photoshopped "zombie" layer over the "eyeball" layer... Didn't do a good job.
His fuzz hat overlaps the edge at the top of the iris. What the?

(2) The image of the zombie should be bowed along with the con vexed eyeball... It's flat. Oops.

(3) Um... I can see the studio lights in the eyeball too. Very bad.

The idea is more creative than the US box, but poorly executed.

Maybe this is just another placeholder image?



#109978 Demos?

Posted by dagwood dang on 19 September 2012 - 08:11 AM in Wii U Hardware

I wanna get a huge Hard drive and download every demo that comes to the Nintendo network.



#109977 The future of Sony?

Posted by dagwood dang on 19 September 2012 - 08:09 AM in General Gaming

Everyone should read this: http://www.notenough...ecline-of-sony/


Thank you for the link.

Man, Sony is hurting more than I thought. Pretty sad, really.
To think, the PSX and the PS2 did extremely well in their time. Now this? I'm sure it's also due, in part, to the weak economy right now.
Sony likes to push high end, latest tech, when a lot of people aren't buying that kind of thing right now.

#109008 A No Brainer Adaptation for the Wii U

Posted by dagwood dang on 17 September 2012 - 08:20 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Yeah. It'd be awesome for sure, but that might involve the kind of reprogramming that Ninty might not want to put money into... I'd be all over that though.

#106924 The Wii U has no chance -_-

Posted by dagwood dang on 13 September 2012 - 09:18 AM in Wii U Hardware

Now that's it's confirmed that the Wii U runs on GPGPU its oblivious the next gen consoles are going to crush it *SiGH*


Inconclusive.
No Proof.
Troll.



#106536 Why would a graphical leap be a bad move for MS and Sony?

Posted by dagwood dang on 12 September 2012 - 12:06 PM in General Gaming

I agree that technology is becoming a lot cheaper, now more than ever. But the issue at hand has nothing to do with this fact, but how Sony is getting hit really hard as of late. Sony is known for wanting to be the best, getting the best of the best (via PS3 and PSVita, made during this time). They even stating that they dismiss price if it means outstanding performance. I can't see Sony settling for this, as it would be out of the norm. When I stated that comment, I had this logic in mind. Sony can't afford this logic whatsoever. Microsoft on the other hand, can afford to do what Sony usually does (though would most likely go the route in which you are entailing).

Your comment is a nice reminder for everyone though on the upcoming price announcement. Do you think we should fear a high price? (Out of curiosity)


Nintendo's price will be affordable. There's no way they're going to make another 3DS type of initial pricing error this time around.
They're going to push these babies at a low price so they can sell a lot. between $250 and $299 are the rumors, and I believe that's about right.

P.S. Sony is far from broke. They may not be winning the console wars, but they're a huge company, ranging in all kinds of tech out side of videogames... They have $$$.
If they want, they'll put another insane amount of money into the PS4's tech, but again, that's fine. It's supposed to be this way (tech advancements), otherwise this industry would suck butt.
