Have they called anything by 'Starfox' here yet?

Drakul 07-01-2015 01:59 PM

Starfox Adventure, Star Fox Assault. Maybe Starfox 64 DS.

Starwing and Lylat Wars were pretty cool names.

  • During an interview with IGN, Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes' director Hiromasa Shikata stated the reason there are no playable female Link characters is due to them not wanting to overhaul the main lore of the Zelda series and none of the female staff at Nintendo had a problem with Link always being a male character.

Today's News:
1) Some highlights from Nintendo's annual big investor meeting includes:
  • Club Nintendo's replacement likely will include special discount deals on the eShop.
  • Admitted they failed with the Wii U in terms of sales and couldn't rebound it like they did with the 3DS' poor launch.
  • Won't be dropping Wii U and 3DS support in the near future.
  • Are reconsidering how they handle their E3 announcements plans in order to improve future E3 Direct shows and prevent disappointments.
  • Implied Nintendo will no longer be having soft console launches in terms of their own games in order to keep third party companies happy. Hurt them a lot with the 3DS and Wii U launches while 3rd parties barely provided system selling games needed.
  • Admitted they are having serious problems with supply games for their current Virtual Console service.
  • Their mobile plans include making games that don't heavily rely on a very small pool of players being the bulk of revenues earned.

Nintendo seems to think very little of Americans, in my opinion. Everything has to be "cool" and as American as possible as if anything that isn't will terrify you.

Worth mentioning, in regards to Shovel Knight and Smash. Lucas, Roy, Mewtwo and Ryu were NOT added as a result of the fan poll. The fan characters are still to come. The only reason I can imagine Shovel Knight not getting in Smash, as it seems like almost anything can happen these days,is the fact he isn't a huge deal in Japan, as far as I'm aware.
I feel if a character is huge in Japan but unknown in the west, they are still viable but if a character is huge in the west but virtually unknown in Japan, they are automatically extremely unlikely to make it.

but weren't Roy, Marth, Ike, Lucas, Ness, Lucina, Robin, and Shulk all "huge in Japan but unknown in the west"

Drakul 07-04-2015 05:05 PM

Yes and they got in. You can't really name a character in the game who is huge in the west and unknown in Japan.

Does anyone in the UK know where I can get an official charger for the Wii U gamepad? I need a new one, badly. I've looked on Amazon, Nintendo store and GAMEs site.

The Rogerer 07-04-2015 05:19 PM

It might be quite tough. I'd try ebay, but at least if it's fake then it shouldn't be too bad as its DC

I bought a charging dock to prevent wear and tear on that. Did it break?

Drakul 07-04-2015 05:40 PM

I have a dock but I never use it. The Wii U is my only means of internet so, between gaming, internet, iPlayer etc, I use it ALOT. So I'm charging it pretty regularly.

DC?

road doggy dogg 07-04-2015 07:53 PM

I bought the deluxe WiiU that came with the dock as a throw-in. Thing is amazing, really glad I didn't opt to not buy it.


Really hope the NX doesn't come out so soon. But that's just me being selfish since I finally jumped on the WiiU train ~a month ago and I'd hate to see them "give up" on the console so soon.

I bought the extended battery, even though it's overkill. I just didn't like having to think about it all the time.

With DC I mean that it's a DC charger. I'd always be worried about unoffical chargers if it's something that needs a lot of power or an AC thing, but in my head DC chargers are usually safer to use an unofficial thing with. That's me talking out of my arse though. It will probably be quite tough to find one if they're not selling them individually.

The NX won't be out for a few years. They only had to bring it up because people freaked out when they said they were going mobile. They've been frank about the Wii U doing poorly but they're not going to execute it.

Kalyx triaD 07-07-2015 02:02 PM

Mighty #9 and Red Ash are necessary titles in the wake of Capcom's stupidity. Don't be so enamored by a name that you don't care a great gameplay philosophy lives on in another title.

I'm a Devil May Cry fanboy, but if I had to get my jollies from Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising with DmC being shit than so be it. At least until DMC4SE came, which is awesome.

Let more 'knockoffs' come out of dead franchises. It's the fault of these publishers and we win in the end.

Seriously, can't we just get a regular DQ game for the first time in 10 years?

Yes, but it is Robomodo, the guys who made Shred, Ride and HD. I can forgive the gimmick ones, but HD wasn't even serviceable. I got it for £7, made it to School and then just thought it would be better to dig out my Dreamcast because the fucked up the feel of the entire game.

So re-registered for the Live Beta program to get backward compatibility, and it appears while I can play Mass Effect...no, not really because the DLC linked to my saves isnt downloadable on the One.

Lame.

Thought the only way for the preview program was to get an invite from MS or a friend?

If you are in early access, could you send me an invite to it? Let me know what you need.

Lame.

I think performance on ME sucks as well unless they improved it. Other games work great though.

drave 07-15-2015 08:15 PM

WOOOO!

Thanks :D

alvarado52 07-16-2015 01:43 AM

No problem, though be warned...unless something has changed, one of the bigger reasons I opted OUT of the program was the update every couple of weeks. Not really up frequency of the updates, but the fact that the One boots you out of whatever youre doing unceremoniously when one comes around.

drave 07-16-2015 05:32 AM

Kinda thought it would be like that. I was a part of the 360 preview program or whatever, kinda surprised it didn't "carry over" or something. I have decent internet, so the updates shouldn't be too bad.

Thanks again :)

Dunno whether this goes here or not, but for any of you that enjoy trying mmo games, Skyforge open beta went live a couple hours ago.

Pretty sweet so far. Reminds me of a FF game or something similar.

3) For those interested in a game called The Flock, the developer announced an unusual twist on how game sales will work. For every player death in the game, a countdown is triggered and if the number reaches zero, the game gets pulled from Steam preventing future purchases. The pool of players for online multiplayer matches would then be locked at a specific number.

4) According to Gearbox's founder and CEO Randy Pitchford, the company is at the very early stages of development for a both a new Duke Nukem game and Brothers in Arms game.

I'd say that's pretty accurate from what I've seen.

I absolutely cannot stand "YouTube Gamers".

Cool King 07-17-2015 10:30 AM

The majority of their "fans" are pretty bad too.

5) According to Double Fine, the company managed to "break even" in regards to money made from Broken Age with the main reason due to how badly they went over the budget for the game's development. Wouldn't have come anywhere close to breaking even if they just used the Kickstarter's funds or hadn't split the game into two parts.

Pretty much. The only one I really like is The Switcher because all they do is sit down, play the game, and talk about stuff. No gimmicky bullshit.

Lot of people on here can't stand them though.
