#57504 RUMOR: Nintendo considering renaming the Wii U

Posted by Meelow100 on 26 January 2012 - 10:21 AM

"It's been indicated that Nintendo is keen not to repeat the same mistakes with its next-generation home console, and we're told a change of name is a real possibility - especially after president Satoru Iwata told investors Wii U needs to learn "a bitter lesson" from 3DS and public confusion over its features."

It's just a name but this makes me really happy:D.

What names do you hope Nintendo could change it to?

I hope Nintendo Revolution/Revolution

Well, what the title says, so we can comment on the news on the forum instead of going to the main site or the blog to comment :P


#56007 What should Nintendo's online be called

http://3dstribe.com/...do-network-3ds/

Just as Caius just pointed out, and I'd speculated earlier in the thread. NintendoNetwork.net's a brand new domain name they only just started using in Japan for the 3D photo contests on the 3DS, and now that we're seeing things like this, it's looking pretty clear that it's Nintendo Network.

Funny thing is, I actually saw some signs of this years ago. There used to be a rather well done Facebook app called Nintendo Network, which was a great place to collect and display your Nintendo games collection on your profile. It stopped updating, and then vanished suddenly without trace at least two years ago now. Odds are good that this was due to Nintendo licensing the name and thus having the app taken down then.

At any rate, there's another investors' meeting coming up on the 26th. There's always an event unveiling new games and software the day after - that's where we learned about Pandora's Tower and Kirby's Return to Dream Land last year. With the NintendoNetwork domain name now being used and this interesting little icon showing up in the Theatrhythm case, I wouldn't be surprised if the January 27th event included the official unveiling of Nintendo Network and its opening in at least Japan.

Hopefully this will include a full extension to the 3DS of a single username and profile with a standard accomplishment system in games starting with Theatrhythm and others onward - with patches and updates for already released games in time also ideal to boost their replay value further, ditto for connecting the StreetPass Mii Plaza's accomplishments to a profile and adding them to the other built-in games and applications - and lay the groundwork for a standard, consistent online Nintendo identity as their counterpart to the likes of PSN, Live, Steam, and all other online networks, as well as lead into a more social online setup for Nintendo fans with their 3DS and Wii U onward, perhaps with some online metagames to get addicted to and go online daily to play, much as the StreetPass games serve such a purpose for our local social networking via StreetPass. (As, in many capacities, my whole Miitropolis concept is pretty much its own ambitious social metagame to give people good reasons to go online daily. I'll finally be adding some more ideas and thoughts to that thread soon too.)

Anyway, it's going to be exciting to watch for new concrete news on just what Nintendo Network means. We've already seen Nintendo take a successful plunge into a strong online networking setup for Pokemon Black and White with Global Link and Dream World last year. If they can get Nintendo Network usernames issued - assuming they aren't directly tied into an expansion of Club Nintendo itself - and get as many users as possible online and hooked up to that in all regions as soon as possible with the addition of new social content, accomplishments for as many games as possible, and so on, and third parties just as involved, we could see one of Nintendo's biggest ongoing weaknesses finally turning into another strength.

As it stands, we've already seen the 3DS grow and evolve significantly in the near-10-months since launch outside of Japan. And we've known for over half a year now that this was going to be the year Nintendo finally took a serious plunge into online features, gameplay, and networking to eliminate one of the few remaining advantages of the competition, while taking their own approach, working with third parties. Things really are only going to get more interesting in the coming weeks and months. There's a tremendous amount that we've yet to learn. Exciting times.

I hate you say bad, Josh. I hate you so bad.

I'm gonna have nightmares about Reggie, and not in the way I like it.

Yes, I have my preferences on how Reggie should be in my nightmares. You can't call yourself a true Nintendo fan unless you have them.

#53267 Are You Getting the PS Vita?

Posted by nintendo3DS on 10 January 2012 - 09:55 PM

Now that we know mostly everything about the PlayStation Vita, will you be buying it?
If so, will you get the 3G one or the Wi-Fi only model?
And to all the people that think the 3G price is outrageous (Gamecollector), it's not, it's around the same amount as other 3G price amounts.

Also, don't be hating on it. I know you Nintendo fans are probably thinking: "If it's not a Nintendo product, it sucks." No. Just no. I mean, you can hate on it, just don't say things like: "It's too expensive, so it's bad." Or, "Sony is makes terrible games, so of course the Vita will be bad, too." Just be civil.

I'll be getting the 3G/Wi-Fi model with the 2GB of data for 3G. Then I'll also be buying the 32 GB memory card, and probably Uncharted: Golden Abyss.

What is this? Even you, Waller!

Why has no one been a smart arse and said Catdog yet? Jeez...
Cats for the win. Dogs just piss off people, and vice versa.


#55911 PlayStation 4 will probably be alot stronger then the Wii U and Xbox 720

Posted by Auzzie Wingman on 20 January 2012 - 06:09 AM

I think it's far too early to be having guesses at the power of consoles that don't exist yet.


#55850 Deleting posts?

Posted by Waller on 19 January 2012 - 06:09 PM

Feld0 said he doesn't allow members to delete their posts because it disrupts the flow of the topic.
You can report a double post to Feld0/AMAC if you want it deleted, though.

I think that there isn't actually a "skin" in this forum, it's just the default IPBoards skin.
We do have a nice banner, though :D
