Shack News: Everyone was showing off multi-screen connectivity at E3--not just Nintendo. Microsoft spent a good deal of its E3 presentation on SmartGlass; Sony showed off how Vita can be used as a controller for the PS3 version of LittleBigPlanet 2. Given Wii U is defined by the asymmetric gameplay made possible by its unique tablet, did Sony and Microsoft steal Nintendo's thunder?
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata doesn't think so. "That suggests to me that they clearly see value in what we're trying to do," he said. "So the fact that we have so quickly seen somebody following in the footsteps of what we first introduced with the Wii U, suggests that there are people who see great appeal in what we're offering."
LOL... here we go.
Sony has a patent filing for this kind of connectivity going back to 2010, before the Wii U was announced. If anyone is playing catch up with this, it's MS.
Why do i get the feeling the NFC, camera, and mic functions of the Gamepad is going to be what makes the BIG difference for Nintendo? I can see Yu-gi-oh, Skylanders, Pokémon, and even Kid Icarus taking advantage of the NFC with cards and figures
Anything wii u can do vita can do almost same and in some case better. Did Sony not already patent the idea
The fanbabies always give me a chuckle. The bottom line this generation is Microsoft has won. PS2 was in a dominant market position last gen, that has been completely eroded and as it now stands the two companies are effectively neck and neck in worldwide sales this gen, with Microsoft completely dominant in North America. That is a Microsoft win considering where they came from last gen. Nintendo made out like bandits with the Wii initially, but as of late they have been taking massive losses, much like Sony. So who really wins folks? The answer is clear. If you can't admit it to yourself, that is a you problem. And Microsoft has managed a win despite the red ring of death failure rate fiasco and charging a rather considerable yearly fee for online (the online is good, but come on). Sony has more (and better) exclusives, yet they are struggling. I own a 360 and ps3, and I fear sony's massive losses will effect how they approach the next gen. Microsoft is fattening their pockets at the expense of us gamers (red ring replacement consoles, xbox live gold memberships) and that does not make me very happy, but I'm a gamer and I need my games. Next gen as always I will evaluate strengths and weaknesses of the new consoles and buy one b4 I buy the other, as I bought my 360 2 years b4 I picked up my PS3 this gen. I really feel with the way it's going Microsoft is going to be in a better position to spend more on development and tech for their new machine than sony, and the online component may seal the deal, as sony cannot possibly go the mandatory fee for online route next gen without infuriating their "loyal" fanbase.
