The Nintendo Wii/3DS/Wii U Thread

[Big_Bad_Lith]

I honestly think you're underestimating 12 year olds. 7 or 8 year olds though...

I'm thinking whoever it is that won't shut up on youtube comments. the kind of people who get angry because "why r people makin a big deal out of the 3ds... we've have games in 3d since the playstation 1 days..." or the ones who see a smash bros. roster prediction, and go "WOW!!! you must work for nintendo to know all this stuff xD!!! hey can you ask them to put goku in the next one b/c I'm the biggest dragonball z nerd everrr lol XD"

whatever age that is. if they ever accidentally saw this rayman trailer, after whining because it didn't have those funny rabbids in it, they would get excited about being able to put literally anything on the tablet and have it go into the game.

Iwata - Digital Pricing to be on par with physical

Seriously?

[black-leg jex]

to be fair they are quite a bit down in money to be having things cost less. I imagine it will still be cheaper to download as your not paying for the box but that's the only real difference

[Cyber-Robin]

would rather it be on par than extortion like Sony.

I'm still fairly sure they're trying for £49.99 for Infamous 2

[Gaiyae]

There are plenty of psn exclusives cheaper than in the shops. Infamous 1 is really cheap. And with Nintendo rarely lowering the prices of their first party francises that blows.

[Cyber-Robin]

I wouldn't know, I aint really looked on PSN much for a while. I picked up Infamous for £7.99 a few years back so if it's less than that then its a great bargain.

I need to play that game again...I got it, kinda got a bit repetitive and then I was insanely ill and it kinda put me off playing the game again.

Bought a 3DS yesterday. It's my first handheld and first Nintendo console since I bought a Gameboy Colour over, what, 10 years ago? Liking it so far, Super Mario 3D land came with it so I'm just making my way through that the now. I'll probably buy Kid Icarus or something soon.

Might as well put my friend code in my sig then.

Wii U won't be out by October

Pachter Says Wii U Late October Launch “Makes Sense”

Famed industry analyst Michael Pachter firmly believes that Nintendo will launch the Wii U in October. Pachter made the comments during the latest episode of Pach Attack, during which he was asked why Nintendo hasn’t revealed the Wii U technical specifications.

“There’s a couple of reasons, I think. For one, they’re probably not certain exactly what their final specs are going to be. When I say that, they have the CPU and GPU down absolutely as developers are making games for it.
“I think they’re just waiting to see what the commodity prices are like, and what the assembly is going to cost them. They kind of have to go final at least three to four months before the thing launches, so I think you’ll hear specs around E3 and I think you should look for around a late October launch. That makes sense.”


“The answer is nobody has any clue, including Ubisoft,” Pachter later expanded, responding to whether the console would release prior to Assassin’s Creed III.”
“The game will come out on October 30th, and it’ll come out on Wii U if it’s out by then. If there’s not a Wii U by then, guess what, it’ll be held until it launches.
“I think it’s likely that Nintendo is shooting for around that date on Wii U. Historically, we haven’t really gotten console launches in the US and Europe past about November 15th, so October 30th sounds totally reasonable to me. But, I don’t think anyone has any clue. Nintendo does what Nintendo decides to do.”

Wii U Zapper:

I like the idea of using the controller as a scope, but the thing looks wobbly. I can't imagine the controller is very safe there. Plus, I wasn't a big fan of the Wii Zapper design. It makes more sense here, though.

Iwata - Digital Pricing to be on par with physical

Seriously?

Man. I'm really not the slightest bit interested in the WiiU now. As much as I liked Wii games, I never really bought as much. Mainly due to how long it takes for thier first party titles to drop in price. It kinda feels like they are secluding me from trying most of their games. I can understand keeping titles pricey for the sakes of quality, but it does not make sense if I can get a title with just as much or more quality on another platform at a lower price.

And... I'm not really confident that third parties would favor or develop heavily the WiiU either despite the specs. Nintendo did say they would have a good number of support before the Wii launched, so I'm not keen on trusting their word again. Maybe I'll be wrong, but who knows?

Nintendo doesn't control how high stores sell their game for in the end, the stores do. I suppose NIntendo might be selling them to the stores for more, but even still, if nobody was buying it at high prices, it woulg go down in price. Its basic supply and demand.

I just remember looking into buying Gamecube games like 2 years after the Wii was released (games that were older too), and they were still in the 30 dollar range when I expected at-least 15-20. I'm just blindly assuming, so I don't really know exactly why first party titles stay at a high price for so long.

[Sakonosolo]

Did Ubisoft just say they were going to delay AC3 until the Wii U launches? Please say that isn't what they said.

[Hekti]

Yeah heard some rumors about AC3 and the WiiU Launch as well.
Either Ubisoft delays AC3 to hit the shelfs with the WiiU or the WiiU Launch moves up to the AC3 release.

If you were looking at used game stores, then you only have the popularity of the games to blame for their price. It isn't Nintendo's fault everyone wants to play Thousand-year Door.

But Nintendo does drop the price on their best selling games, after while. They haven't done it much for the Wii, though, but I remember TONS of "player's choice" edition games for the gamecube, selling the games for 20 or 30 bucks instead of the usual 50 at the time.

[RPGJay]

They didn't really do it for a few GBA titles, at least they didn't around the area I was in. Super Mario Advance 1, a launch title for the GBA mind you, was still selling around the $30 range for the longest time in the game stores around me.

[Supa64]

Shit, guys. I still, to this very day, see Mario Kart DS priced at 30 something bucks at Gamestop. I'm thinking it's Gamestop's fault but I don't even know. All I know is that I'm not going to rebuy an old ass game for 30 bucks even if it's amazing.
