i mean, for the N64. Galaxy is incredible, maybe as good as 64 was, but it was 10 years later!

wind waker already looks better than the newer zelda games, i dunno why it needs a remake

Why the hell wasn't there Zelda sequels on SNES? Kids these days have no idea how lucky they are.

Miyamoto also did a bunch of Zeldas in those ten years and spent ages developing other stuff that got junked and turned into the engine for Galaxy iirc

they definitely need to do a standard Fire Emblem for that GamePad in addition to the SMT crossover.
― GM, Friday, 25 January 2013 22:18 (eleven years ago) link
pretty safe bet on that happening i think

you need the big screen to truly appreciate the awkward flirting between the paladin and the dark mage
― GM, Friday, 25 January 2013 22:29 (eleven years ago) link
seems like Atlus are developing the SMT/FE game, which frees up Intelligent Systems to make ... something i guess? A new Advance Wars would be nice, probably a 3DS Wario game though :/ The 3DS FE game is out in the West v soon though, has had rave reviews & is highest selling FE game in Japan since SNES days, so super hyped for that.

i really wish there were more info on the history of this game.. the title screen says copyright 1998 MITCHELL or something, and the intro video and general aesthetics of the game are SOO '98
― ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 30 January 2013 20:35 (eleven years ago) link
Tokyo Crash Mobs is based on Puzz Loop, a 1998 game by Mitchell. Popcap stole the idea for Zuma, and Mitchell threatened to sue.

This is like when you guys delayed Assassin's Creed 3 for Xbox 360/PS3/PC so it could get released on Wii U a month later, right? Oh, that's right, you didn't fucking do that!
yeah fair point.

Had my first play session when a friend brought over their Wii U. My monitor doesn't support HDMI so we had to run it through a Composite able, and weren't able to view in HD or even change the resolution. That said, DAMN it looks amazing. He brought over "Nintendo Land" and "Super Mario Bros Wii U" or whatever it's called, and we played the new Mario game but just ended up having too much fun, we ran out of time to check out the rest.

played The Wonderful 101 demo at a friend's last night; man that game is sick, a total system seller. too bad it already bombed in Japan - utterly tragic!
― Nhex, Sunday, 1 September 2013 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
i played an hour of Pikmin 3 at someone's house, it was amazing. supposedly the white WiiU is being discontinued & should be going cheap soon, if i see one at a bargain price my resolve might begin to crumble ...
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Sunday, 1 September 2013 17:56 (eleven years ago) link
i kind of want to pick up one of these. are there any worthwhile games yet? pikmin3? i never had a wii so i get access to all of that gen too which makes it seem worth it.
― ciderpress, Monday, 4 November 2013 21:02 (ten years ago) link
Pickmin 3 is fun, Wonderful 101 is like Pikmin combined with Viewtiful Joe, Super Mario 3D World has some buzz so we'll see if Tim Rogers likes it

I guess 3rd party games might exist but why would you buy them
new mario doesn't really look like what i'm looking for in a mario game unfortunately - i think they've decided that mario games aren't supposed to be immersive. with mario64 and sunshine you actually felt like you were inhabiting the gameworld but since then the games have increasingly been framed such that you're looking in from the outside and guiding mario through a series of dioramas.
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 November 2013 20:42 (ten years ago) link
immersion is for Zelda games; Mario games are for mirror neurons
― i too went to college (silby), Thursday, 7 November 2013 21:59 (ten years ago) link

it might be this generation's Dreamcast, so decent chance. at least the 3DS is doing well for Nintendo
― Nhex, Friday, 8 November 2013 14:45 (ten years ago) link
I'd disagree on that too. I'm not much of a gamer but I STILL have dreams about Mario 64 (which I have not played in about 9 years!) I think that the controls and freedom of movement in that game felt so natural and intuitive that it wound up being more immersive than intended. That does odd things to the brain...I've never felt vertigo in any real life situation but the last couple levels (mostly Rainbow Ride) made me feel queasy in a way that I haven't felt with anything else. I remember just dicking around on that level once, getting to the top and wondering "If I long jumped off the top of this, would I survive?" - I already had 120 stars, nothing to play for, and even then, I was reluctant to actually jump off and I can't explain why.
― frogbs, Friday, 8 November 2013 14:51 (ten years ago) link
thinking about getting one soon. how easy it is to transfer vc games and such from the original Wii to this?
― frogbs, Friday, 6 December 2013 16:52 (ten years ago) link
yeah, someone explain to me that weird Wii passthrough thing
― Nhex, Friday, 6 December 2013 16:54 (ten years ago) link
didn't even know you could do that? we just got one last night. plan is wii u will be the coop/netflix box and i'll do mah srs gaming on pc. buh bye xbox/ps.
first negative - mario u, you essentially need 3 controllers to play 2 player co-op b/c the gamepad inexplicably only works on 1 player. neat, another $35.
― bnw, Friday, 6 December 2013 17:11 (ten years ago) link
what exactly does that mean. you can't just play with old Wii controllers?
― frogbs, Friday, 6 December 2013 17:13 (ten years ago) link
oh good timing, i just got one of these for £149 in a Black Friday deal.the Wii transfer thing is pretty simple but full of maddening Nintendo bullshit (of course)you just need yr Wii console, yr new WiiU and an SD card. you then need to download an app from the Wii shop to the Wii, which guides you through the process.its an all or nothing thing, you can't pick and choose which ones to transfer, and a very small amount of games can't be transferred at all (e.g. Lost Winds)the WiiU has a Wii built in, that's how you play them. so if you want to play a VC game you have to boot up the Wii interface which is completely walled off from the WiiU (i guess since the Wii was hacked to hell and back). oh and you can't use the Gamepad controls at all. there are a small amount of VC games in the WiiU store that can be bought to play directly on WiiU and have save states, Gamepad functionality etc - if you have bought the game on Wii before (and transferred over) these have an upgrade cost of $1 or something.in summary: the usual Nintendo clusterfuck when it comes to digital gaming. did i mention no real account system yet?
