Context is king, Iwata is speaking to a Japanese audience, in most cases unless he clearly indicates otherwise he is speaking about Nintendo's situation in Japan or as it applies to Japan.
Don't raise any hope that all or most of what he is speaking of will also be true as to the release of any software mentioned in this report will also mean a release in the US or PAL regions.
The reasons for this could be as simple as not enough resources to as complex as the conte...
You do realize the using an emu doesn't help any with incentive for developing a sequel right?
My, little baby's all grown up now. (rubs tear from eye)
They grow up so fast. V_V
If this is a blood n gore game from Nintendo... does that mean Miyamoto's new hobby is...
Smash Bros...
honestly they want to differentiate themselves from the pack, but the only other game like this is Smash... which they intentionally promoted this game to being made in collaboration with Sakurai.
Over 40 hours of game play I want my multiplayer.
I'm tired of these 6~8 hour affairs
Brawl worked this way too, I could join a friends game and request his friend FC in that game, the issue was communication; if I was online and a friend was doing a quick Brawl I had no way of letting him/her know I was online until they decided to check their Friend List again or go to the website we communicate through.
In that case it’s not the FC that the problem it’s that these online games aren’t on a PC or XBL.
Example being the PS3 which for SF4 you can at l...
They are indirectly rerouting their resources.
NPD has Wii tracked at a 18% growth in America YoY, the month of March would be skewed though because last year Brawl/Mario Kart/Wii Fit/ Wii Ware were all released or near release.
VGC claims a 16% growth globally, even with Japan in its current form. The month alone in Japan has seen a near 50% drop in sales for the Wii, but for the PS3 its seeing a massive 100 ~ 170% jump in sales on the cuffs of Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 4 and quite a few other anticipated software rel...
Analog Devices makes the Wii-mote accelerometer and are making them 24/7 at rates 10 times higher than ever in their history.
STMicroelectronics makes the accelerometer in the nun-chuck and they're doing the same thing. .,;l
Broadcoms Wi-Fi chips are at peak capacity.
AMD/ATi has their manufacturing partners rushing out Holly woods well beyond their anticipated capacity.
Same with IBM and the Broadway CPU.
Connecting to DS players is a plus, playing on a larger screen... I'm not certain... I'd really have to try this game out.
One thing is certain and that is SE is just testing out different approaches. FFCC:CB is not FFCC for the GC, I'd say they went to two extremes on their approach of the Wii audience.
I'm sure they will figure something out.
I'd much rather PN03.. that's just me, I mean it would of been nice. V_V
Except make it so I can move and dodge and shoot and bigger cooler enemies. V_V
Twas a good game.
Care about the source of this article is little.
As I understand it VG247 aren't doing their job, they asked Michael Pachter to do their job for them... Pacther doesn't do his job either, most Analysts that do their jobs tend to be recognized by analysts and added as a resource, this makes analyzing the industry much more time consuming; he shouldn't have the ability to give VG247 even the time of day.
Anyway, EA can't succeed on Wii platform in their current form, i...
That can't happen, at least not with 50%, unless EA divides itself there is no chance of them rivaling Nintendo.
EA would have to make a portion of it's production properties reliant on success of Nintendo hardware before they can make games designed to sell like Nintendo games. They can't look at the Wii as in. "Ok guys how do we tap into that 45 million install base." They have to look at it as: "Ok this thing is easily accessible so let's make something for ever...
Nintendo said they would not develop games for Wiiware sometime in March, I remeber it because the interview was with Shigeru Miyamoto and the interviewer got Shigeru to say he may be considering independant development on the wiiware platform.
Aka: A game done by Shigeru himself!
But Nintendo will not publish or develop content for Wiiware platform. This was a decision made according to Shigeru; in order to keep competition from Nintendo at nothing, and because Nin...
The game bombed on the PS2... Monster Hunter but took off by the second itteration but only in Japan.
The game was never graphically amazing, but it wasn't sore to look at either.
The way some look at it is that this is the equivical of Sony losing FF which translates to a lot of people buying a PS3 for the next FF, Capcom keeps trying to put out there that this game wont appear on the PS3 or Xbox 360 meaning: "Don't buy a PS3 or Xbox360 to play this game."...
Good information and perspective, though I see some opinions in the later end of the article, which is probably due to a lack of content shared by the reader.
Ok thanks for the article.
It's all about the global release, it should be at exactly the same time.
=P
Here's a tip, and I'm serious - no joking here, no snide comment nothing, just a tip.
When you review a fighting game or any game, check the control options. Option B for the Wiimote + Nunchuck is the best option hands down; for those looking for a classic fighter feel.
The game in itself is very expansive, however lacks the technicality of a Tekken or Soul Calibur, it is similar to what a 3d Marvel vs Capcom 2 would be like.
Anything more would be my o...
For the platform Monster Hunter Tri IP is a feather in the cap but the interesting part of that portion of the article was the confidence exerted by Iwata about Nintendo's own properties. He never mentions the likes of Monster Hunter Tri or Dragon Quest IX.
The interesting aspect is that he is no longer talking about expansion, which would mean Nintendo may recognize their current core market as transitioned and realized and as what the Wii was intended to reach. So we may see M...
