"Nintendo needs to embrace iOS as a games platform"
That's like saying Mario needs to be on Steam/PC.
Nintendo games are on Nintendo consoles. If they end up anywhere else, there's no point to that particular console. Do you think anyone would buy a 3ds to play Mario land 3ds when then can download it to their iphone? They're making money and with the 2ds coming out, I'm sure parents will buy that thing along with pokemon.

Are the Dragon quest online games on the wii and wii-u? I know it's on the wii, but it's not hardware limitations that's stopping developers form putting games on the wii-u...it's the developers (and most likely publishers) not wanting to put that much effort into it. If worrying about sales was thrown out the window, I'm sure developers all over would being putting 150% effort into their games.
It's been a long time since sega said anything about PSO2 coming to the west. Too long! I've played on the JPN servers myself and it was fun. The only reason I stopped was because I didn't want to get too into the game just to have Sega release the game over here and I'd have to start all over again.
Having to redo any mmo is a pain, especially when rare items are involved...
Subspace was a good idea, but they didn't flesh it out to make it amazing. Brawl had extremely bland levels, enemies, and bosses. Would've been much better if they used ALL of the assets they had from the various games. Let one of the bosses be eggman and Black knight from FE. Let the enemies in the jungle be the croc pirates from DKC. Instead we got a bunch of crappy kirby rejects.
And for those who say "They can spend more time balancing the game". They ...
These are some nice ideas. I do like having more special events and weekly/holiday events. Though I HIGHLY disagree that this game should have PAID dlc. I don't want to have to pay $5 to get back Falco or Roy or something. I want ALL the characters to be unlockable through PLAYING THE GAME.
If Nintendo is stupid enough to pull a Capcom and have those DLC character locked on the disc, people will hack the game to get all those characters out. I doubt Nintendo will do that...
I'm with you right there. Link made SC2 better, simple as that. He was a somewhat cheap character, but it WAS LINK! Aside from Link, SC2 did have a slew of extra stuff to do and weapons to unlock...wait..They aren't going to...no...please god no!
[All unlockable content (weapons from edge master mode) from the original version turn into paid DLC to make this new online game seem cheaper.]
I really hope they don't do that. Turn all the unlockables...
I'd want to see them add Gargoyles into the mix. It could be an opening to have some marvel characters show up since Gargoyles takes place in NYC.
This is kinda what bugs me about gamers and the word "innovation." When a game does something different, like Other M, People complain that it isn't like the old games. When They do revert back to the old style, people complain about it not being INNOVATIVE. What do you want?!
There's exploration in Metroid, but the game has a lot of action in it. Samus does run fast, jump high, and shoot stuff. You can't blame tecmo for trying out the all action route f...
I was expecting by series, not by single game.
The top game franchises would easily be:
1) Capcom Vs. (Marvel/SNK/other)
2) Street fighter
3) Tekken
4) Smash bros.
5) Blazblue/Guilty gear/Persona 4 Arena
6) Mortal Kombat
Guns are a huge part of American's History. It helped free them from the Brits and Helped them conquer the rest West. It's very much a culture thing, that's why the common American Stereotype is a cowboy.
Action games are a little too vague, imo. The might be counting only FPS games and not 3rd person shooters. What big action games came out last year?
So...it's just a slight waggle of the controller and the Kinect will read it? Hasn't the Wii been doing this for years? Waggle to get an enemy off of you?
Capcom is one of the old companies who have a huge backlog of characters and game franchises. Remember Dinocrisis, Onimusha, U.N. Squadron, and MEGAMAN? If Capcom does go under, I really hope either Sony or Nintendo pick up their franchises. If Cacpom ever went to M$...it would be a sad day because M$ would just sit on those franchises and turn Cacpom studios into a kinect factory...Remember Rare? They are a shell of their former selves...
Xenoblade and the Wii fit/Sports stuff does count as New IP. (Not sure if Pandora's Tower, Eternal Darkness, and The Last Story counts as Nintendo IPs) People always complain about how Nintendo doesn't make new IP and when they do have something new...they get ignored.
Though Kid Icarus isn't a brand new IP, it was revived with new mechanics and stuff for the 3ds. Does Nintendo NEED a new IP all the time? Nope! A new IP once in a while, yes, but not all the time. ...
The thing with Nintendo consoles these days is that People buy Nintendo consoles to play Nintendo games. Aside from Sony, Nintendo is the only console maker that has an amazing set of in house exclusives. Mascots like Link and Mario will always be on a Nintendo platform for people to play. Why would I buy a 3ds? Because it's the only system where I can play Pokemon, Mario Kart, and Zelda. Why buy a Wii-u? So I can play Xenoblade online and Smash bros.
3rd parties don'...
I take it he means interactivity with the open world element. GTA5 will have more stuff to do than MGSV. There are more cars and things to play with in GTA5. I'm basing this assumption off of the previous games I played. Gameplay wise though, MGSV seems to be more of an evolutionary step than GTA5. GTA5 just looks like more of the same, but prettier. whereas MGSV's open world element adds new things to do for that franchise. Driving stuff in an open world is new for MGS5 as well as dy...
Imo, it looks like they just upgraded the TP character model and didn't really use the SS model. What to I mean? Well Both TP link and Smash bros 4 link have that leather thing on the left arm. IIRC, SS link doesn't have that. SS pants are a lot more poofier too. Minor details, yeah, but the major detail missing from this SS link are the tools and the watercolor look to him.
HD link still looks great. Not mad or disappointed that they're just using updated brawl m...
I want to beat the game and dont want any spoilers, but ill assume that the bugs ruined the game for him? If the glitches were as bad as this writer says, then the game might not have been getting near perfect scores. I don't think Skyrim, with it's game of the year award, got near perfect scores and some reviewers did take the game breaking glitches into consideration.
Some glitches and bugs are tolerable. Unless it breaks the game, then it shouldn't be much of ...
I'd love to see tag team in ki3
I'd really want him to remake/re-imagine Snatch too. I'd hope they somehow get the same voice actors for the roles though.
What a ripoff of Mega Man X. So many assets were taken from the series.
