Whitewashed in '05 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) There's rumors of a FF7 HD Remake on PS4. It wouldn't be the first time, but the source (Siliconera) is fairly reputable. Fingers crossed. I am not a gamer anymore, but just hearing about it makes me think about buying it when it comes out.

whitesoxfan99 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'm probably the only person excited by this news but Shenmue 3 was announced at E3 and is being funded by Kickstarter. I might have to contribute to one of those for the first time ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projected release date of December 2017 right now so still a long ways off but considering Shenmue 2 came out in like 2001 what is another 2 and a half years to wait.

I am excite Looks really good, unfortunately no real surprises this year. Outside of Mario Tennis & some Aninmal Crossing party game, every Wii U title had been announced a while ago. Pretty disappointing Nintendo didn't have one big reveal, especially with Zelda delayed into 2H 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Nintendo's confernece was pretty disappointing from the Wii U side. 3ds side looks fantastic though if you own one of those. They seem to be gearing up for the Nintendo NX launch next year. I doubt Zelda even makes it out on wii u. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be gearing up for the Nintendo NX launch next year. I doubt Zelda even makes it out on wii u. At this point, I'd rather have them shift resources to the NX. While the Wii U does have some great games, the system was botched from the get-go. Going with the "Wii" brand (terrible idea), not having a killer app that leveraged the control pad, a barely functioning OS at launch, and some huge game droughts early on sealed the system's fate. IMO, Star Fox & Mario Maker look like the first two games that actually use the control pad in useful ways. Both would have been signifanctly better launch titles than Nintendoland. Hell, a legit 3D Metroid Game could have also used the controller in some cool ways. Ultimately, they couldn't convince the consumer what was special about Wii U and fought an awkward battle between targeting the hardcore Nintendo loyalist and the causal gamer. Too late in the game to introduce those games now. Whatever the NX is, I really hope it's launched with some convincing software. Nintendo has enough money to falter through another failed console, but I'm not sure their investors will tolerate it. The NX could really be a make or break system for Nintendo as a console manufacturer. Hopefully they finally learn from their mistakes, because I'd hate a video game world without Nintendo systems, even if the games keep coming.

Finished The Witcher 3 last night, if you do all the side quests + monster hunts, there's probably at least 30 hours worth in there. I'd be keen to have different save files from Witcher 2 and import to see what the differences are, but I don't want to go through that much gaming again (that's where Youtube comes in handy I suppose).

I don't think going with the Wii brand was a bad idea at all. Not simply calling it the Wii 2 was stupid. When I first heard about the Wii U I thought it was a f***ing add on, not a whole new console. The name may have killed it before it had a chance. Going with Wii 2 is something that is clear to the audience and everyone will know it's the new version. Wii U sounded like a college version of the original.

Going with Wii 2 is something that is clear to the audience and everyone will know it's the new version. Wii U sounded like a college version of the original. I agree with your logic here, the Wii 2 or something like Super Wii would have been way better. Like you said, the Wii U sounds like an add-on and when it was announced, everything focused on the controller. It really seemed like a new peripheral for the Wii. And even when more details were, announced the fact all your Wii stuff could still be used added confusion. Having said that, the Wii U was never going to resonate with the casual audience, which is why I think keeping the Wii brand was a mistake. The controller was expensive and its theoretical benefits should have been for hardcore gamers. Nintendo tried to get that causal audience anyways with Nintendoland, but it was never going to be another Wii Sports. Ultimately, they tried to leverage the Wii brand, but failed to build an offering at a price point that would appeal to the same customers.

Kyyle23 Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 I think the name definitely looks like a peripheral, but gamers aren't dumb they can figure out that it is a next gen system for Nintendo. The problem is always launch titles for them. They launched with Nintendoland and a bunch of ports. They needed to have Mario World 3d or MarioKart ready for launch, and they didn't have anything more than Pikmin on the way. Nintendo continues to march to their own tune though, and 3ds continues to sell games and make money for them so they don't seem to mind console mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 My MLBTS 15 season is kind of weird. It's July 2nd in the season and I've played every game. You have the good: Chris Sale is 10-1 with a 1.55 ERA. Jose Abreu is hitting .343 with 20 home runs. Adam Eaton is hitting .339. Zach Duke has a 0.00 ERA in 34 appearances. And you have the bad: Jeff Samardzija is 2-6 with a 4.82 ERA. Tyler Flowers is hitting .157. Adam LaRoche has 6 home runs. Jake Petricka has a 5.84 ERA in 20 appearances. I thought this would be leveled out by this point in the season, but I guess not. Overall I'm six games over .500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
