I think NX was revealed because Iwata wanted to see one more system come out while he was alive, something similar to ~new~ 3DS.

Nintendo has lost me, and that's like DEFCON 2 given my nearly three decades of blind, irrational loyalty. DEFCON 1 is when Finch starts feeling the same way.
I'm just done with their shit. I'll still buy something if I really want it (Super Mario Maker being a recent example), but the NX isn't a day one buy for me like usual. It's not even a "first couple of years" buy unless the software lineup is sufficiently awesome that I change my mind.
They also need to figure out the Internet. If you bought SMB on Wii, it should work on Wii U without needing to jump across menus. It should work right off the NX home screen. And it should work on the 3DS without having to buy it again, since you already registered the game and machines with your Club Nintendo account. You know, like Sony has been doing for years. I don't know if it's greed or incompetence, but this shit is unacceptable in 2015. I'm tired of supporting it.
lol, i didn't like Nintendo that much from N64 through Gamecube! There was a long period in the middle of last gen where i didn't like Wii at all and i was big on *gaaaaasp* Xbox360 and PS2!!!!!!!1111 After that time where i sold all my stuff because i was depressed and hated things i liked i bought a 360 two years before i bought another Wii U!
i like Nintendo so much because it's the weirdest Japanese developer left and the few remaining weirdos are still with them. I don't know how Sony gets the pass when you can't even play the large majority of your PS3 games on a PS4 and with any major title you're buying a remastered version. Sony's the one console developer where i'd rather have every game on a single box too!
Anyway, see: ugh this argument again.
I just like Japanese games. I've paid for SMB more times than i can count and i'd still rather play it on an NES. I guess i'm just old.
Though it's weird to me that everyone's begging to pay for VC games while bemoaning Nintendo's account system when they can play them way easier for free on PC or even a $30 Wii where they'll look and run better than WiiU.
Wii is still the system i use for VC games and for *WINK* NOT VC games.
I want to make a topic on perceived value in video games because it's still weird to me that people think $5 should buy them a thing across multiple platforms until the end of time. The kids especially don't seem to think games are worth a dollar and that Destiny couldn't possibly have cost more than $1.5 million to develop, that delays are the developers being lazy, that it's okay to make money off of something else's thing even if you don't pay for it, but it's almost 4 and i need to get work done.
I'll get this and the two DS VC titles; and probably MGS3 for PS3/4; and probably the HD remake of Final Fantasy XII.
Because, In that era I was too busy doing the videogame equivalent of slamming my dick in a door (playing WoW) to finish them.
The Gamecube was dead when Twilight Princess came out on it. They promised the game on that console and they still delivered it, they'll do the same with the Wii U.Quote:

Looking at past announcements for systems, the Wii was first talked about at E3 2004, and didn't see release till 2006. The Wii U was first shown at E3 2011 and didn't see release till the end of 2012. If they're just first talking about NX (and really we don't even know if they're going to talk about the handheld or the console first, or both) there's no way the home console is out in 2016 as well. I think Zelda U will actually hit 2016 and the NX will be 2017, maybe launching with an upgraded Zelda U.
I don't think NX will be a replacement for Wii U like people think it's going to be a replacement for Wii U. People complain about Nintendo winding down development for Wii U and 3DS, but even if 2016 is the last year of either, it's so much more than the entire years of barely anything after N64, GC, and Wii. It was better on the portable stuff because Pokemon is always a generation behind because GameFreak is digging in the sofa in the lobby for a budget, but it's way better there too.
They delivered TP on Gamecube AFTER they delivered it on Wii first. I remember that decision ruffling some feathers.
I remember people thinking it was rare htf but i saw it at Target for months and no one was buying it
Kinda curious as to why that would. Getting it on the Gamecube was a good thing imo.Quote:
