It lets be honest if Nintendo step in with some cash that would be the best chance of it seeing the lights of day and the tears of the idiots that would end up complaining about it would just be the salty icing on the cake.

I'm sure it'd be a good game, but is it going to bring enough back to make it worth Nintendo's money? Didn't Bayonetta perform poorly as well?

Mister Jack Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Bayonetta sold pretty well for a Wii U game, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Anyone using Miitomo? I don't know what to make of it at all. I guess part of my problem is I'd probably answer the questions in earnest, but the people I'm on it with... don't. so it doesn't jam with the Nintendo vibe. I guess it seems too unfocused too, as I don't know when it wants to ask me questions or when people have replied to my answers, you just always feel like you're rooting around trying to find the point that isn't actually there. I guess if it had proper chat functions so you could have a conversation with close friends if you wanted to and the other stuff went on in between, with people you may not have real chat with, then I'd find it more useful. I guess at the moment it's fun(?) but once the novelty wears off and people stop using it, it's no good on your own, unless they add in an "everybody votes" channel type function which I think would fit in here well and would work when your friends aren't using it. Speaking of which, it's insane how the friend adding works, that it doesn't use people on your nintnedo friends list. I guess i's to force people to talk about it on twitter/facebook? Who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I think the biggest problem (other thank only being able to add people from Twitter/Facebook or face-to-face) is that there's no indication when someone responds to your post, or to a comment you left on someone else's post, so there's no encouragement of actual back and forth interaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 It needs some work. I haven't tried it out with a friend so take the lack of social function commentary with a grain of salt. Gerbil and Ethan mentioned the lack of in-app chat and social aspects. There's some nice things that could use a more robust chat/social function like the Miimoto voices and the Miifoto. The Miimoto voices can be a social/chat goldmine, as with the Miifotos. The Miifotos are really nice since you can say position your Miimoto to be sitting on a mountain ridge, cursing the screwed up landscape but then you have to share it via some other app. One of the most common apps I use is Snap Chat and it feels odd using it to share a Miifoto. An in-app Miifoto with Miimoto voice message would be amazing. Performance wise, one of the things that's been annoying me is the amount of loading required. Barring network/wifi issues, my apps are snappy. Miimoto is doing local loading and it's doing it every single time I change the screen. It's annoying. It's a 3D app so maybe I should give it some slack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Nintendo are Selling most of its majority stake in Seattle Mariners (keeping 10%), valued at $1.4billion, which should be enough to keep them in the hardware business regardless the fortunes of NX, which I know will be joyous news for many of you NintendoLife Edited May 1, 2016 by TheFlyingGerbil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 So the rumours are that Retro's NX project is a new IP. What sort of thing would you like to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMW Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I dunno. This is the problem with companies keeping their creative talent under wraps. I don't have an identity for Retro Studios. I don't see a through line. They made Metroid Prime, it was good. They made Donkey Kong, it was good. They made Metroid Pinball, it was good (weirdly so). They worked on Mario Kart Seven, it was good. I dunno. They're adaptable if nothing else. But they've never done their own IP. Working on ancient Nintendo properties from day one. So I have zero clue what to expect from them on an original project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have zero clue what to expect from them on an original project. That's actually an interesting point. Reminds me of Ready at Dawn. Spent most of their existence developing decent PSP entries for existing Sony franchises like God of War and Jak and Daxter. Then they got their shot at a new IP and we got The Order: 1886... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 It's $60 in US, I believe, and £50 in UK (pre-orders went up earlier today). Which works out at a a smidge under £2 a game if you discount the hardware. Obviously the option is always there to emulate, you can get a RPi for £25 (heck the Pi Zero would likely do and that's only £5) and that'll run a NES emu fine, but it doesn't have a nice case, nostalgic controllers and requires technical knowledge to set up. Which for likes of my step-mum is a bit meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
