  1. Nintendo knows it had better release some system-sellers pronto. If Nintendo is serious about making the Wii U a viable platform for third-party developers (and it MUST be viable for third-party developers in the next few fiscal quarters, or it will die), these games should be announced for Christmas 2013. That said, I'm not sure which of the games is the best for selling systems. Probably Mario 3D, but having three Nintendo games drop in a short period of time will hopefully (for Nintendo) boost the Wii U install base.
  2. I have no clue as to the quality of Sonic games past the Genesis era. I am just skeptical that a Sonic game will sell Wii Us.
  3. I wonder if Nintendo thinks the Sonic game will sell systems. I'm skeptical.
  4. Well. I think it's safe to say that today's Nintendo Direct saved Nintendo's butt. We have a new main-line Zelda game out for Christmas, tons of Wii U exclusives from third party publishers, a new Metroid in the vein of the GameCube Metroid games, and a great Studio Ghibli/Nintendo joint project! #forumpostsfromanalternatereality
  5. This is just the online pass, right? Project Ten Dollar is still going strong?
  6. I also really like how it connects with Steam friends' accounts and the "challenges" that pop up (like 'driving clean'). Can't wait until I can play again Monday night.
  7. Iwata offering to commit seppuku if Nintendo's profit goals aren't met.
  8. This game is pretty boss. I love how much driving on the left side of the street fucks me up.
  9. Sleeping Dogs is pretty neat-o. Better than Tomb Raider so far.

      You mean like comparing Uncharted and GTA? Also what's with recent uptick in SD posts?

      I only compare them because they're adjacent on my "Games to play in my backlog" list. I guess they're also Squenix-published games; Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs and Hitman: Absolution are clustered together on my list for some reason.

      I was just making fun of me comparing Tomb Raider and Uncharted (and people saying I shouldn't compare them).

  10. Well, my inability to get past that puzzle was pretty much maximum derp.
  11. Just in case anyone was wondering, I made it past the stupid puzzle on which I was stuck and have beaten the game. I'd give it 3 outta 5. Better than the first hour or so of Uncharted 2, which is all I played of that series.
  12. Didn't surprise me. I wonder if it surprised Nintendo.
  13. It's the timing, guys. I know *how* to do it, I just. cannot. time. the. fucking. jump.
  14. It was revealed a few months ago that DA3 would be using Frostbite. As far as the Wii U goes, well, there are plenty of Japanese developers to make 3rd party titles, right? And that gamepad is just begging for loads of shovelware once the install base increases.
  15. @ST I've spent an hour on it in total. Just can't time it right. So frustrating. Should be able to stand on the motherfucking thing.
  16. MOTHERFUCKING TEMPLE PUZZLE WITH THE WIND AND THE PLATFORM AND THE TIMING!
  17. Rumored internal Microsoft memo allegedly asserts that singleplayer games on the NextBox should work offline. http://kotaku.com/report-the-next-xbox-will-let-you-play-games-offline-493136979
  18. *Looks at release date calendar* Looks like no new games for GOH! until September. Sadness in the kingdom.

      There's a pretty good game coming out the first week of July. ;)

      Uncharted 3 was the best shooter this gen?

       

      I just... I don't even know what to say to that...

       

      I would agree that Uncharted 2 is one of the best games of this gen, but the shooting aspect has never been one of the series' strengths.

      Well GOH!, maybe it's time to try games outside of your normal wheelhouse. Have you played Picross? If not, you owe it to yourself to play Picross.

  19. I think this counts as barely trying. I'm curious to see how the Wii U is marketed in the West over the next year; will Nintendo continue to market in dribs and drabs, or is it just waiting for the library to develop and will push harder this fall and winter?
  20. Apparently Nintendo is pushing a notification to all Wii owners about the Wii U. Emphasis is on the Wii U being a new and different system than the Wii. http://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-urges-wii-owners-to-discover-wii-u-252827.phtml
  21. Well, in this case it was a subsidiary company that was sold off to satisfy the terms of the agreement, IIRC. Which would also not apply to Ninty. Yes; the bottom line is that Ninty cannot ignore its falling stock value for long.
  22. The hell is that a new console generation means more console exclusives. By the way, 2014 is my guess as to a PC release date (if there even is one), not anything official.
  23. It's a lot different than a hostile takeover. But I wasn't talking about bankruptcy necessarily, as that screws over just about everybody involved. I recall reading at least one case in which the creditors of a company forced it to sell assets while it was still solvent pursuant to provisions in the lending agreement. I may be misremembering, however. or it might not have been a public company.
  24. PC version will launch in 2014. This might be my first PS3 game bought new.
  25. Well...companies can be forced to sell if they do poorly and are in debt; IIRC, creditors can force all sorts of things on a company pursuant to lending agreements. Been a long time since I actively dealt with that, though.
