Despite all the negative press about the Wii U's launch sales in recent days it turns out that the system is doing better out of the gate than the 360 and PS3 in America.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Microsoft has announced the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox will be discontinued in April and has confirmed that weekly streaks will also be coming to an end.
Other nominees include games like SimCity & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
There are some good nominees in this list that are deserving to be inducted also, but I feel Metroid has had the most impact on the industry out of all of these. Look how Metroid influenced the evolution of the Castlevania games, and the "Metroidvania" subgenre of games have become a prevailing force in gaming today. Especially now, Metroidvanias are bigger than ever.
I can very much see Resident Evil being added later too, bc it really did popularize and define the survival horror genre. I would say that one is next in line.
If any Metroid game should get the honor it should be Super Metroid , it's perfection in my eyes . 30 years later and I still feel it's the most epic shit ever .
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
Titles and descriptions involving sales figures should really start to specify regions. This being NPD numbers only, although I'm curious to see how it's doing comparatively WW. It'd be nice to see the WiiU doing well the world over.
PS2 was still running strong when 360 launched. PS3 was $600.
Wii u will be winning the new next gen race.
They've all had shortages when they launched. Launches are a terrible thing to compare.
Wii-u will probably put up great numbers just like the wii did be fore it's said and done. The other 2 are still trying to catch up after all these years. Plus it's profitbale on day 1.
