Playeressence's Furious Francis discusses why he's upset with Nintendo, how Sony knocked it out of the park with the PS4, and how Nintendo needs to pull things together by E3.
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.
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.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
Nintendo really does need to bring their A-game this E3 if they don't want to be overshadowed. If there's one thing I hope it's that this Sony conference will help Nintendo kick their asses into high gear, take it to the next level and really give it all they have in the coming months. Nintendo has some months before the new consoles arrive and that's an opportunity they simply CANNOT let go to waste. Releasing their heavy hitters and (hopefully) dropping the price of their console before Sony and Microsoft unleash their new machines is absolutely crucial in terms of the Wii U being a success.
One thing's for sure though, I think this coming E3 is definitely going to be one to remember. Here's to hoping all the companies give it their all because if they do, who wins? We the gamers do.
The lack of faith in Nintendo's Wii U system, is astounding.
Even Nintendo fans doubt the Wii U after the PS4 reveal. What a tragedy.
I agree with some of this, and sadly so. Not to say my Wii U purchase was a waste of money, but far from it. I love the Wii U, and the gamepad is a welcome addition. There is just nothing else that compares including Vita/PS3. E3 is Nintendo's last chance to impress with the Wii U. Granted the Nintendo direct last month was great. Now we need to see the games with solid release dates.
Nintendo has done a poor job with marketing the Wii U, and so much so that you could go on Youtube and see much better fan made commercials that show what the Wii U is about. Whoever is in charge of Nintendo marketing of the Wii U should be out of a job, and Nintendo should take a fan and let produce the adds. Bet they would do a FAR better job. Hell even most gamers that don't have a Wii U don't REALLY know how cool it is. No store demo can do it justice. Nintendo should have done it just a little bit more like Sony did and get fans EXCITED!
The Social aspect of Wii U is growing, so I don't really agree with that part of it. In the next 6 months I think MiiVerse will be an awesome app, and it really pretty much already is an awesome app.
Common Nintendo get your $%^& together and get people pumped up. I know that Nintendo is very meticulous about first party games and that is great, but hire more people and pump some of these games out faster.
Nintendo should honestly stick with making handhelds and software.
Leave the consoles to the big boys.
The only reason the Wii U has low sells is because it has had like 1 or 2 games(that were poorly made) total released in the last 2 months.
Games sale consoles. Software moves hardware. This has been the case for decades and it has never changed. Its simple as that. When the games start the flow, the sales with pick up on the Wii U. Nothing more, nothing less.
Nintendo has done nothing wrong other than fail to provide games and properly inform people about the console.
