TornadoCreator Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Simple enough, what's your most anticipated game or games from Nintendo currently... For me it's, depending on my mood either Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors or Devil's Third. Bayonetta 2 has pissed me off a little by making the pack in copy on the first Bayonetta a physical disc in Japan but a fucking download code outside of Japan. I'm a collector, digital is fucking worthless to me. In effect the western version doesn't come with the first game as far as I'm concerned and because of that the WON'T be getting my purchase without a big price drop unless they release a collectors edition etc. with a physical copy in it. Still that said, this was the game I was most looking forward to so I'm still excited for it. I love Devil May Cry style action, so definitely my kind of game. Hyrule Warriors is basically Dynasty Warrior with Nintendo polish... that may well be awsome. I wonder if it'll be much compared to Dynasty Warriors, after all there's not really enough characters in the Zelda franchise is there? We'll see. Lastly my wildcard, Devil's Third. I'll be very interested to see what Nintendo do with the male power fantasy action game. It's not their usual thing, but this looks interesting. Looks like someone mixed Ninja Gaiden with Gears Of War, which is bound to be good albeit juvenile fun... but who doesn't want that occasionally?

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 This seems like something that should be discussed in the general thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Nintendo has games coming out?! In all seriousness, this E3 was really poor for Nintendo, but Mario Marker and Zelda looked promising. Everything else though.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 The only Nintendo game I'm anticipating right now is Zelda. I'm mildly interested in Super Smash, but if it just never materialized I wouldn't be torn up about it. Overall my most anticipated game right now is the Master Chief Collection (I know, it's lame), with Destiny and Arkham Knight tied for a close second.

Mister Jack Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Seeing that I bought a Wii U after I saw that Zelda trailer, I'm pretty sure the answer for me is Zelda 2015 by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Outside of remasters and remakes, Assassin's Creed Unity and Dragon Age Inquisition. Maybe The Evil Within. I haven't seen enough of it to judge. I'm also not sure about Destiny. Im sure itll be a good game, but probably not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Unity and Inquisition are the next tier down below Destiny and Arkham Knight for me, with Inquisition being a little higher than Unity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 well since you qualified this as Nintendo, I guess uh Smash Bros, but Hyrule Warriors looks neat too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I didn't count Arkham Knight because it comes out next year. It's too far off. Otherwise id put Persona 5 on here too. Plus, I feel im Batman'ed out right now. The trailer for Knight looked awesome, but it really did look like the other Batman games. Im assuming its very similar and after Origins I realized how tired I was of the formula. Hopefully outside of the batmobile this new game freshens up the franchise with a lot of new stuff. Which is ironic because AC can be accused of the same thing, but I have way more fun with that formula. I can play AC games every year til god knows when.

TheMightyEthan Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I would agree with you about Batman, except I think the problems with Origins are entirely due to it meeting made by a different developer. It just feels like everything's a little off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoCreator Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) This seems like something that should be discussed in the general thread. I specifically wanted to talk about anticipated NINTENDO games, hence this section. Otherwise the conversation will be filled with games for PS4/XOne that I can't play because I don't own the console like Destiny, Arkham Knight, and Uncharted 4... which happened anyway.

MetalCaveman Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Star Fox, Splatoon, Hyrule Warriors, Devil's Third and the new Zelda game. I don't own a Wii U, but those games convinced me to get one soon(ish). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yeah that Splatoon game looks really fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Oh shit, I did see it originally, but then for some reason I thought dean or somebody had merged it with the general thread, which is why I brought up non-Nintendo games. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Yoshi's Wooly World, and both Super Smash Bros for this year. I've warmed up to Splatoon as it reminds me more and more of N64/GCN era multiplayers where you're having fun more than bitching about some ratio for an online leaderboard. There are others, especially Zelda Wii U, but I feel it's too early to get properly hyped. After all, Nintendo had the best E3 presentation and showroom with actual game footage that gave us a reason to be excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) I think FDS's point was that this could easily be a post in the General Nintendo Chat thread, which I would be inclined to agree with, especially since we try to keep new topics typically to games, with on going general topic threads like General Nintendo Chat and Nintendo Is Fucked. EDIT: BUT maybe new threads are a good idea to get more discussion going. OH GOD I DON'T KNOW.

TornadoCreator Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) New threads are always the way to go. It may seem more streamlined but new members will generally not post in a thread with multiple pages worth of posts because there's a feel that they're intruding, and they don't want to have to read pages of posts before starting up a conversation. Similarly, if a thread has been inactive longer than 2 days, new members will invariably presume it to be dead, especially as many forums will have moderators complain if you "necro" a dead thread. Worse of all though, a forum without new threads regularly appearing will put off new members from starting their own threads as they will feel they can't start a thread without somthing "important" to post. This combined with the earlier issues will mean new members will post in a few threads on their first few days then never venture outside of these few established threads because that form of communication on the forum is most reinforced... if those threads reach a natural conversation end the members will often stop posting all together. In my experience a small forum wants to aim for about 5-10 new threads per day, and a minimum of 50 posts per day, with ideally around 20 regular active members minimum. This keeps forum turnover less of an issue and ensures people don't log on to find nothing in the "what's new" section. Addional, non-themed 'General Chat' sections help in that. While most forums have an 'Off Topic' section, that phase has negative connotations and discourages posting, better to replace it with a 'General Chat' and a 'Debates/Extended Discussion' section. This keeps the in depth religious, political, and philosophical discussions separate from people talking about their favourite pizza topping, as well as clearly defining a section of the board where it's appropriate to criticise peoples religion or politics. This makes it easy for people easily offended to avoid conversations they don't want to be a part of. Another section worth considering for a gaming forum would be a 'Tech & Gadgets' section; this would be niche but members may feel discouraged talking tech news in the gaming sections, but may feel disenfranchised posting it in 'Off Topic'. As you can guess I've been a member of many many forums; tends to happen when you're at home all day and in need for human contact. I've been a moderator/admin a fair few times too... if you ever want some advice, by all means don't hesitate to ask.

Eleven Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I guess you haven't been here long enough! We like our general threads! And important new discussions should go into Status Updates! If you can't tell I'm making a funny. I fully agree with you, TC. People just really do tend to start discussions on status updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Status updates are rad, it's a good way to make our forums look absolutely deserted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 This would be a more interesting topic for PlayStation. Bloodborne?! Uncharted?! The Order?! No Man's Sky?! VARIOUS INDIE GAMES?!?!? So many good games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Personally, I'm just looking forward to the first Nintendo-published game released on Steam. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Personally, I'm just looking forward to the first Nintendo-published game released on Steam. Bayonetta 1 and 2! I wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I can't be the only one who has not interest in Mario Maker right? I mean...come on guys.. Anyway, Bayonetta aside, Nintendo isn't offering me much. I'll play Zelda, but even that probably won't be a day 1 purchase from me. Give me a new Metroid Prime type game though, and I'm all ears.
