Boo hoo, stop crying. If it helps the game, then let them work on it. You'll live.

"There is a positive side to the inevitable death of Nintendo’s latest flop, and that is the fact that the company won’t have a choice but to go in a different direction for the next console system. Nintendo has run out “get-out-of-jail-free cards.” They’re at a crossroads. On one side, the company can continue to remain a self-contained infrastructure and suffer the consequences of not adapting to today’s technology and the ever-changing platform of video games. On the other, Nintendo can finally wake up and stop trying to be the smartest person in the room and grab hold of it’s destiny."

Ouch. Pretty harsh, but also very true. Nintendo really can't afford to continue down the path they have been pursuing; they need to stop with the gimmicks, and just focus on solid hardware that can handle games for years to come. The Wii U wasn't able to compete, hopefully the NX will be a much more feature-rich, solid console.

Err..the author missed quite a few Wii U titles coming out through the end of this year.

Story quality? WTF? 
Like this website? No

No it isn't! then it'll be a buggy mess, then the complaining starts rolling in how buggy the game is and need to be fixed. So it's a good thing to delay it to work on it more to make sure there is no issues with it.
Jesus some ppl are really impatient these days!

higgins783562d ago

Agreed. Also, I guarantee 99.9% of the moaners have a backlog of games as long as their arm. Yes, everybody want the newest toy asap, but if anything a delay should give us a breather and allow us to take stock of the many, many games we've accumulated. Gutted about the delay, but, be it Steam, WiiU or PS4 games in which I've barely scratched the surface, I'll get along fine.

Best bit about the Wii U fail is it will hopefully go same route as the wii.
In a few years you will be able to get the console plus a stack of games for a tenner on Gumtree!

Dario_DC3562d ago

Yeah, I already can get Wii-u games used really cheap. Still not buying a Wii-u yet, in a few months will cost me next to nothing to own one with a ton of games.

It's a good ponder. Nintendo would be stupid to not do it. The more titles and first party line up released on the Switch 2 the more enticed the customer will be.

Star Fox Zero, Was it Really That Bad?

Has time been kind to Star Fox Zero? Does the game have any redeeming qualities that are worthy of revisiting? Should it be considered for a port to the Switch? Was it really that bad?

Haven't played it since it came out, but I really enjoyed it. Can't tell if that's just nostalgia-tinted glasses, or if I actually consider it a good game though lol.

Vits1328d ago

It's a mediocre game that reuses ideas, scenarios, characters and moments from previous ones. Paired with one of the worst control methods that I had the displeasure of using.

CptDville1327d ago

Those controls. Boring and frustrating at the same time. Only with co-op they were bearable, but co-op was restricted to finished levels.

SeTTriP1327d ago

Yes couldn't finish it it was so boring.

MissAubrey1327d ago

controls made me stop playing also what good is a 65inch tv when you have to look at a tiny Wiiu tablet.. same with kirby & the rainbow curse..

Einhander19711327d ago

No it was great, just the control scheme spoilt things really. The wii u screen was not needed for it really

But any potential design changes would be up to Nintendo if it happens.

I’d rather Star Fox Assault be brought to Switch with online multiplayer instead

Teflon021377d ago

Finally, someone who knows about Assault. Best Star Fox Multi-player imo.

Neonridr1377d ago

or a Star Fox 64 remaster instead.

deadfrag1377d ago

Platinum Games wants to many things but sadly it does not show nothing new for years!They try to jump on all offers but end finishing none!

whitbyfox1377d ago

1: Get rid of the motion controls.

2: Bring us Okami 3.

Good-Smurf1377d ago (Edited 1377d ago )

I rather have them show more of Bayonetta 3 first before they talking about any new project.
This reeks Inafune's funding for Red Ash and Mighty No.9 animated series, both never materialized.
