#74968 RUMOR: [Some of you are probably really happy] - Wii U renamed Nintendo U

Posted by Nintendo Nostalgia on 26 April 2012 - 09:44 AM in Wii U Hardware

...
I think you're misunderstanding the context of my statement.

You commented nintendo used bad japanese, and substituted some kanji
I said it's fake, but even if it was real they wouldn't really use kanji exclusively, so there's no reason to doubt it based on that.

It´s very funny how these fake news about Nintendo always have wrong japanese.
-------------------------

I didn´t say Nintendo used bad japanese, a japanese company, specially Nintendo would never use wrong japanese. I said that people that make fake news about Nintendo know nothing about japanese, and they don´t even try harder to make it more trustable, even being fake.



#74779 RUMOR: [Some of you are probably really happy] - Wii U renamed Nintendo U

Posted by Nintendo Nostalgia on 25 April 2012 - 01:10 PM in Wii U Hardware

True that, I don't know nothing about Japanese.
I never said game titles.
I said Nintendo wouldn't not use 'kana to announce something simple like "this will be available in Winter"

When am I confusing katakana with Kana? I'm shortening it since I'm pretty lazy.
Correct me if I'm wrong here:
hirigana, katakana, and kanji.
hira/kata dropped from the words = 'gana/kana as I said in an earlier post, if I'd known it'd be this much trouble to explain it, I'd have just spelled them out fully then.
I'm not 100% sure the differences between the gana and kana as above is, but I know the differences between those two and kanji.
g/kana's do be based on pronunciation right?
kanji is chinese (lol, don't get pedantic with me on this, i'm just over-generalising) symbols, each one representing a word.

I ask native speakers when I need help with Japanese, they are pretty slow to answer though.
Last time I had a question it took a week to get an answer. :(

In this video, it appears "この冬来る´´ Which means something like "This winter comes" obvious, gramatically wrong. The correct form is "冬発売予定" Fuyu Hatsubai Yotei, or "scheduled for launching at Winter"

The previous fake zelda games also had wrong japanese with the アイスをプロフェシー  and 火をプロフェシー , that should be アイスのプロフェシー and 火のプロフェシー.

And it would still be a strange name, specially using the fire with kanji but ice with katakana.


The other fake news about Wii U being renamed on the japanese page, everyone believed that without looking at the japanese official page. Not only it had not that title in english, but it was written Mario Party 9 in japanese.

Sorry for bad english!

Nollog :
Nintendo wouldn't use Kanji would they?
They'd use hiragana.

And I was under the impression from the several Japanese to English translators I've known that Japanese tenses are extremely tricky to convert to English.

Well, there are some other mistakes you made, and i was trying to make it clear. But take your time, i´m not attacking you, and the one being pedantic here it´s you. So, don´t blame me xD



#74572 RUMOR: [Some of you are probably really happy] - Wii U renamed Nintendo U

Posted by Nintendo Nostalgia on 24 April 2012 - 06:51 PM in Wii U Hardware

I know, I just got fed up of typing the whole word out.


I guess you're right, some of the more common kanji would be used.



Since you were confusing Katakana with  Kana and saying that Nintendo would´nt use Kanji for announcements or game titles, i was sure that you didn´t know nothing about japanese, so I explained that.  But, if you have some question about japanese, ask me, I can help you!  ^^



#74436 RUMOR: [Some of you are probably really happy] - Wii U renamed Nintendo U

Posted by Nintendo Nostalgia on 24 April 2012 - 10:56 AM in Wii U Hardware

Kanji's harder to read, and more formal, 'gana/kana is usually used when you want to make an announcement to the general public without wanting it to be all super-official.
Right?


All super official or not, general announcements are made using both Kanji and Kana - Notice that Kana is not the abreviated form of Katakana. It´s the system that includes Hiragana,Katakana and Man Yougana. In some cases, there are some words that have a Kanji form, but people usually write it in Hiragana, Like 「びっくり」 and 「きれい」. These words are simple, but their Kanjis are difficult 「吃驚」and「奇麗」. Also, only in very formal moments, you´re are going to use some Kanjis that are not used normally. like the Kanji form of 「有り難う御座います」, wich is usually written in hiragana「ありがとうございます」, Katakana is also used when you want to express the word fonetically, but not represent it by a standard Kanji meaning. So, if someone don´t agree with a Kanji meaning or want to make it dubious, they can use Katakana, also it´s used for non-japanese words. Hiragana is standard for grammar and some other words and some names. Kanji represents an idea,a meaning, so it´s used as a substantive,adjective,for example. And names too.

But, when it comes to announcements, Japanese uses both systems. The  name of the product that can be changed, one example is the New Super Mario Bros Wii, it´s written with Katakana, but a game like Kid Icarus uprising , which uses a lot of Kanji 「新光神話パルテナの鏡 」 New Light Myth Palutena´s Mirror
Dates and price are also written with Kanji  2012春発売予定 定価5000円



#74328 RUMOR: [Some of you are probably really happy] - Wii U renamed Nintendo U

Posted by Nintendo Nostalgia on 23 April 2012 - 11:44 PM in Wii U Hardware

posting from mobile device, cant type otherwise, site incompatible
What about Nintendo Revolve

for those what can't read it.
Amazing, you can write small posts!


Nintendo wouldn't use Kanji would they?
They'd use hiragana.
And I was under the impression from the several Japanese to English translators I've known that Japanese tenses are extremely tricky to convert to English.



Why Nintendo wouldn´t use Kanji?! Here are some examples :  Zelda game that use Kanji and hiragana 「 夢幻の砂時計 」 Phantom Hourglass
This one has Kanji, hiragana and Katakana 「 神々のトライフォース 」 A Link to the past, or Triforce of the gods, the original title in japanese
And the minish cap is written only using hiragana 「ふしぎのぼうし」or misterious hat
Twilight Princess uses only katakana「トワイライトプリンセス」
You might be confusing the whole Kanji/Kana thing.

Animal crossing is also written with hiragana and kanji, but notice that, Doubutsu 「どうぶつ」 animal is written only with Hiragana and not Kanji「動物」
And the rest of the title is in Kanji, 「森」 Florest.  Doubutsu no Mori ー 「どうぶつの森」

Also the japanese title of the previous fake Zelda game for 3DS, that was written gramatically wrong, as i said before, it they chose a title like that, and obvioulsy write it correctly, they could use Kanji and Kana - Hiragana/Katakana.  

Also, i think that these online translators are not reliable. Not only for japanese, but for other languages as well.
So, it´s better to ask someone that knows that language in particularly. If this person really knows japanese, it´s not going to be tricky, even if you are translating to english or any other language.

I am not japanese, but i´ve been taking japanese classes for almost 6 years , so i can understand it.

Cool! Your Japanese so you could read BS rumours? Or you learned Japanese?

#58258 Super Mario Paint U

Posted by Nintendo Nostalgia on 28 January 2012 - 06:01 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Wii U is more suited for a game like Mario Paint because of it´s large touch screen on the controller and the  images/art stuff being displayed on the HD TV.  

I can´t really imagine it on 3DS, the touch screen is tiny and the upper screen would not display well large artwork and paintings.

There are a lot of games that lack content. Look at Steel Diver and Pokemon Rumble Blast, even with little content, these 2 are retail games. Home Consoles also suffer from that.  So, why Mario Paint should be a downloadable game?  

I think that, instead of a copy of what Mario Paint have done, Nintendo could recreate it/reimagine and add more content. Even multiplayer for some new concept. Surely, it would have much more content than a game like Flingsmash, Wii Play or Steel Diver/Pokemon Rumble Blast;



#58084 Megaman 25th Anniversary and Capcom alliance with Nintendo

Posted by Nintendo Nostalgia on 28 January 2012 - 03:25 AM in Wii U Games and Software

This year it´s the 25 th Megaman series birthday, and Capcom announced that they are preparing some special to celebrate it. Megaman Legends for 3DS was cancelled for various and predictable reasons, that Megaman Universe too.

They can make a new megaman game for Wii U,or something like Megaman X series in HD, Metal Gear Solid and others franchises are getting their own HD collection now.

But, instead of this, seeing that Nintendo let Capcom made a Zelda Game for GBA and that, recently, they are very close, with Ono saying a lot of good things from Nintendo and SSFIV being a launch game for 3DS, it´s very likely that this time around Megaman is going to appear at Smash Brothers, since he is the only popular non fighting game character from Capcom that would fit better in the smash brothers universe.



#58083 Super Mario Paint U

Posted by Nintendo Nostalgia on 28 January 2012 - 03:22 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Well, i remember this game as it was yesterday. That unique sensation of getting that big game box packed with a mouse, support and cartridge was incredible. The Box art  was amazing and the game itself was not technically out of this world, but painting Mario Artwork, killing insects and composing music with exotic sounds was epic without precedents, and even now, 2012, some people continue to compose with  Mario Paint.

Imagine if Nintendo create a new Mario Paint for Wii U, with lots os possibilities regarding painting, composing and even more mini "art - cult" games Mario Style. The Wii U controller is just perfect for a game like this.



#58082 Paper Mario exclusive for 3DS and a New Mario RPG Series for Wii U?

Posted by Nintendo Nostalgia on 28 January 2012 - 03:18 AM in Wii U Games and Software

This is the first time that Paper Mario is moving to a handheld system, afterall, since the layers and paper stuff will look much better in 3D,something that we can attest by looking at the inside-game artwork book from Super Mario Land 3D.

I think that Nintendo is probably not going to bring back The Mario and Luigi rpg series to 3DS. We had differents rpg series for Mario untill now Super Mario RPG/Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi RPG series. Both of them for different systems, so, would Nintendo create a New Mario RPG series suited for Wii U??! Using some unique controls/gameplay and, maybe, with a different art style, something like a spiritual sequence to Super Mario RPG. Well, I would love to see that.
