07 was probably the second best year in gaming. Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy, Uncharted, Orange Box, Rock band (lol yes this game), The Witcher, Crysis, and just for fun I will throw in super paper mario. I like that game XD
Actually, Wii was not overpriced. The part reason why it sold so well was because it was so cheap compared to the competition. You can debate where Nintendo is now, but without the wii, Nintendo would not have the billions they have now. That and wii had great game so it was far from a mistake. Trying to carry that over to the wii u was a mistake.
Give me a break, this game is a single player game first. This game is so huge they were considering having two disks. Having an mmo like multiplayer would probably make the console blow up.
What makes it so good also is that each character is faithful to what made them great in the first place. The characters are not just skins, they are the actual characters fighting. Even subtle things like Mario's jab is his attack in super mario 64, or Shulk jumping is the exact same as he does in xenoblade.
It is impossible to beat this roster for any other fighting game. This is the best roster in the history of video games.
I see people defending the order and it is ok if you like it. But from a story and gameplay standpoint, it was still bad. Red letter media (people who review films) went over the game as a storytelling experience and found how many holes the story had, and how bad the pacing was for the game.
People try to defend it saying it is a story experience and that their is supposed to be a lack of gameplay (even if the gameplay is generic), but the story in itself is actually really...
I disagree with Kirby. The level design was fun and unique. And the game is only like $30 so it is not like we are expecting a full blown Kirby game.
That being said, Nintendo had it hard this year, mainly due to big games being delayed and filler games being mediocre while we wait for the stuff we care about. They only really had Splatoon and Xenoblade X which are fantastic, however. Which is disappointing knowing how huge 2014 was for them with game line ups.
Nintendo does not force development unlike other studios. Monolithsoft has the freedom to make what they want when they want it. As long as Nintendo see's potential in the the project, they are going to fund development. Nintendo does not tell them to create a new Xenoblade, they create what they want to create.
People are getting real tired of your ****. It is not because of the production of games, it is the lack thereof. Not many AAA Nintendo games were released this year. It is that simple.
This score is also before xenoblade so it is bound to go up a little. If every big AAA Nintendo game was not delayed this year and this score was super high, you would still complain about something else.
This video was for only 1 area of the game. Xenoblade X has 5 locations. Also note this was from one side to the other, not the overall size of the area. Xenoblade X is bigger more times than any of those games.
Here is the whole map for the game.

Sora would be so hard to do, not because of his character and creating moves and such, but because of property rights. People forget that half of KH is Disney. If Nintendo were to make Sora a character they would have to licence with Disney as well. Also, Sakurai does not like the idea of putting non video game characters or assets in a game all about video games. I don't need Disney to be apart of Smash bros.
If by the impossible chance Crash and/or Spyro get in Smash, I will laugh so hard. XD
Cloud has never even been on a Nintendo console. It just shows how much respect Sakurai and Nintendo has to put such a character in Smash bros, despite SE leaving them for PS back in the day.
This shows smash is not just a celebration of Nintendo games, but video games in general. Smash is a video game museum in game form.
I have faith it will be great. Despite the split of the fanbase, Skyward sword is my favorite Zelda next to Majora's mask (and yes, I have thoroughly played all the other Zelda games to and loved them). The only problem I had with Skyward sword were the tutorials and Fi always bothering me telling me what to do. The linear was not bad as it had a ton of great variety and the motion controls were spot on. I actually hope they come back as an option to play in the next game.
How about, just don't have them? Making someone pay for something so small that could have been in the game from the very beginning is dumb. This includes both paying to win and paying for items so small just to experience the game better. It is a pain and unfulfilling. I don't see any major positives for this. How about you just make a game, make a game complete and make people have the challenge of trying to beat the game rather than paying to win.
Adorable. :3
Honestly no matter what they do people are going to get upset with them for the dumbest reasons. Nintendo's stockholders pressured them into mobile. Even today there are people saying "get with the times" and so that is what Nintendo is doing with mobile. TV ads don't work as much anymore as the internet does for advertising today. Whether or not you think "It is not the Nintendo you once knew" has been said from many other people before for many different reasons....
I could be wrong but if they are just now handing out dev kits, then I would think they would not be releasing the NX next year. They themselves said they learned from the wii u's mistake of not having a strong line up. It make sense they would announce it maybe but they probably would want all 1st party and 3rd party games to be ready at launch, which would more logically be 2017 no earlier.
The sad part is wii u games look fantastic. However it is just not enough for 3rd parties to publish. Nintendo knows the nooks and crannies of their own console while third party devs instead of taking the time to figure out the possibilities of what they can do, would rather just easily be able to port their games to save money and time. That is why first party games are so good while a lot of third party games are lazy ports. 3rd parties are too lazy to create and optimize for the hardware....
I love playing my wii u.
