Support NeoGAF

[KojiKnight]

I still think that the best thing for Nintendo to do is something they should have done years ago. Give NoA and NoE some leeway and independence and allow them to have dev teams/small & medium sized studios set up in EU and US.

It wouldn't hurt to have smaller studios that are given more control in US/EU even if they are perhaps more restricted in IP use (it may spawn some much needed new IPs anyways)... but you can't forget hardware is a big part of this issue as well. Price certainly needs to drop if they want people to invest in the system, even if it does cut into their bottom lines a bit more than they'd like. $200 would be a sweet spot, but it'll only work BEFORE the PS4-720s out. If there isn't a cut before then, they won't ever get any attention and they'll be DoA.

How did this 'only for' thing start?

I mean, I joined blindly, but why.....why I wonder.

 

[Roo]

thanks - I'm joining the fun!

I can't see it

The same way it always starts... with hype. With hype anything is possible.

? can't see the avatar picture or can't see it because 'not gamecube'?

They need to get someone like Howard Lincoln to get third party support, he was very good at getting Western support (reasons while people called the N64 the Xbox of that generation), someone even said EA was threatening to not support the N64 (EA loves pulling support) but Howard Lincoln convinced them not too.

And since Iwata is now the CEO of NOA we still haven't seen what his changes will be, hopefully Iwata doesn't pretend that there isn't a problem and fixes it.

Nintendo will have to pull a Sony and fix the Wii U, with that I mean turn around the Wii U because the PS3 was in the same situation years ago, Actvision was threatening to pull support, Valve HATED the PS3, Nintendo fix your self and the Wii U.

 

[Anustart]

Figured I'd ask here as it's the most happenin' Nintendo topic on the board at the moment.

Was wondering if someone with a wii u could make me a nintendo id and pm the log in? I really want to read some stuff on miiverse but sadly no Wii U to set up an ID.

IIRC, NOA now has a small production arm for things...I think they worked on TVii.

Not much, but it's a start.

 

[BY2K]

Every time I read New Zelda in a Nintendo PR I get excited for half a second before realizing they mean Wind Waker HD.

Looks like Takayoshi Sato (Silent Hill 1 & 2) may have joined Nintendo Co. Inc. last year as a 'Visual Producer'. http://www.linkedin.com/in/satoworks Old?

Hell, I'm excited for Wind Waker.

Apparently NST is working on something other than Mario VS Donkey Kong, something "bigger".

I'm pretty excited for Wind Waker HD, but I'd be pleased with a teaser for the next console Zelda.

It better be 1080 or Waverace by Zeus.

No.

It's not happening.

Turns out the Naughty Dog guy was working on Mario VS Donkey Kong, so it's seeming less likely now.

If only they could get a game like Rayman Legends out earlier. NCL could add one or two more titles to it, drop the price of all the current crop of titles to respectable prices' and then drop the WiiU price tag...

They need to get someone like Howard Lincoln to get third party support, he was very good at getting Western support (reasons while people called the N64 the Xbox of that generation), someone even said EA was threatening to not support the N64 (EA loves pulling support) but Howard Lincoln convinced them not too.

On the other hand, if it feels like it will drag on for too long, chasing after EA, then perhaps they should concentrate their efforts on the ones that still show a glimmer of interest.

Could definitely do with more. Easy said than done, of course, but it'll help out immensely.

Wii Will see.

Fixed for U

I wouldn't expect anything more than concept art, and that's at the very best.

Better be Yasuhara making it.

TVii is done by an outside company isn't it? God I can't remember their names... but they also have a program that does something similar for iDevices.

I don't think Nintendo will give up trying to get EA back on their side, but things will need to be changed for Nintendo to do that.

Nintendo's been saying that they want to get into partnerships and expand publishing, so I think Nintendo will try to do that, and hopefully succeeds in the end, if Nintendo money hats third party games like Bayonetta 2 and Wonederful 101 but bigger, than Nintendo really wouldn't have to worry about EA support, I do think they will need Fifa and Star Wars though, I don't think not getting the next Mass Effect or Dragon Age will harm them, even though it is sad.

Edit: After hearing about Pokemon 3DS X Color news, I think it's time for Nintendo to bring out the big one, an Pokemon RPG on Wii U.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Source?

It was hypothesised that since Hirokazu Yasuhara (Sonic/Naughty Dog), Marcos Gomes (343i), were hired that they were working on something bigger, but both turned up in the credits of Mario VS Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move.

Can someone give my avatar the snes only for treatment?

 

[Clefargle]

Hype, hype, hypeadelphia

 

[hatchx]

TVii, for me so far, has been a terrible and useless app. It is so incredibly slow, and doesn't actually provide any meaningful significance seeing as I don't have DVR.

 

[udivision]

Hype, hype, hypeadelphia

I hear it's always hyped in hypedelphia, but it's not like you can just put on a pair of hype pants in the morning and drive your hype-brid car to the hype station and take the hype train on over to hypeadelphia where hype grows on trees and the air is 99% hype.

Pokemon = pocket monsters = portable game , so unlikely.

 

[rockx4]

I'm hoping for some surprised 3DS localization announcements. A couple of DQ games shouldn't be too much to ask for...

 

[lordfroakie]

Can someone "only for nintendo" my avatar?

 

[Meelow]

Pokemon = pocket monsters = portable game , so unlikely.

There was Pokemon games on Nintendo consoles before, even Pokemon XD was an RPG.

But what Wii U news is an open world Pokemon RPG game.

 

[Drago]

Can someone put the "Only on Playstation" along the bottom of my current avatar? I guess if someone can find a place for "Only for Nintendo" then try that too (not outside the box please)... not required though.

Sorry to ask this request in a Nintendo thread

 

[ASTROID2]

Can someone please do the "Only for Nintendo" for mine? I think I'd like that one more.

There have been Pokemon Gamecube games...

Well, I wish Iwata all the best. He's going to need all the luck he can get, but I'm hoping it all turns out well for him. And a Pokemon game for the WiiU would be great. Pokemon handheld style game + Pokemon Stadium + Pokemon Snap would be glorious.

tvii has been great for me since i don't have a cable box. speed hasn't been an issue either. i just wish the search function was better.

Time to go sleep, hopefully I can sleep, Nintendo Direct is on my mind.

Hmm, not bad!

If you could get the NA "Only For" on there, that would be even better, if you don't mind

Can't find a usable one anywhere.

 

[Why would you do that?]

It better be 1080 Snowboarding.

1080°, while amazing, just couldn't hold a candle to the sheer unadulterated awesomeness that was SSX Tricky.

Therefore, I hope it's Wave Race. The water will look so amazing...

 

[Drago]

Aww, thanks anyways!
