I doubt there's many people who haven't heard of Mario, The Legend of Zelda or Pokemon. Maybe Matroid but that's more niche game than Gears of War or Halo. Metroid is a great series but not a Killer App.
And I agree, Nintendo have always been about the family, their two most successful consoles were the Fami(ly)com(puter) and the Super Fami(ly)com(puter). Also you know when you first started gaming on the SNES or whatever, you were a casual gamer.
I like how anything that isn't HD apparently looks horrible. Seems nobody ever played on the PS2 and I'm sad to hear you all threw your old games away as soon as this gen started.
One thing I enjoyed reading in these comments is how Nintendo only has the casual market but if Nintendo hadn't released the Wii most of the sales would have gone to the other two, so wouldn't they then have the casual market?
Some quality Wii games(I mean AAA games here)
Super Mario ...
I think you might want to try out Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker. it's more like a mix between DQVIII and Pokémon and is great fun. I think the DS is the master of RPGs right now, followed by the PS2 or 360.
I think you guys are overreacting. Is it not possible that both games are good? And Metacritic whilst a useful source for getting quick scores isn't very reliable as they could be 10 bad reviews and 7 good ones when there may be more good reviews than bad in total.
I think both games will be fun and whilst neither seems to innovate particularily they will still be enjoyable and immersive(except for the being a midget in KZ2, hope they sort that out).
Thanks SupaPlaya, I do try to see both sides of everything although I must admit I am firmly on SE's side.
1)I do admit that it is strange, I expected them to at least have one game out for it but it seems they do have at least 3 games planned at this moment(at this time).
2)Yes, it may be that the 360 so far has been better recieved and when the PS3 picks up properly(assuming it does) I hope they start doing more multiplatform. It's also interesting the note the rea...
I do understand some of the criticism and it's understandable that people would be upset but I just got the feeling that some people don't care about the actual game.
1)Insomniac is a Sony owned developer though aren't they? and while SE haven't released on the PS3 yet they have released over 40 titles in the last few years.
2)I think they may have some sly motivation, PS3's are region free so many people will import FFXIII and they'll be no Japanese 360 version. I t...
I don't think they could actually announce it too early because it's pretty obvious they were going to be making the next one, they may have showed it off too early perhaps.
I don't why they haven't released on the PS3 yet. They may be waiting for Sony to put out some big hitters like Killzone 2 before investing in it because they don't want to affect it too much.
The Last Remnant is still intended for the PS3 methinks but the director said that the PS3 is overly com...
I haven't actually been keeping track of FFXIII for that long, I've been too busy with some other games(a lot of them SE games, I'm currently playing Chrono Trigger, it's great.)
But I thought they hadn't shown gameplay until the recent trailer, that was one of the major complaints. I assumed they'd just made a cutscene or similar with the engine(which was already made) and shown that.
EDIT: Kind of a similar thing to the Killzone 2 deal.
I'd like to explain a few things to people. I know not everyone will agree but what I will say is what I believe to be true.
1)Square Enix plot out there games and think of the characters and ideas before beginning programming. This means when they announced FFXIII they probably hadn't even started programming it.
2)Dragon Quest is probably as important to Square Enix as Final Fantasy is, this is why they are currently concentrating on DQIX.
3)They don't...
They haven't even started to port it to the 360 yet and aren't taking it into consideration until after the game is finished, so if anythings causing problems it's the "we're difficult because we can they say it's better" nature of the PS3.
And people saying slowed down because of a DS game. The DS game is Dragonquest IX!!! You know the game in the series they have to release on Saturdays in Japan to make sure nobody skips work/school to get it, yer that. It's probably ...
