Aren't all Smash Bros. games exactly the same Like Animu Crossing?

Substantial content yields with each new game. Character count went from 10ish to 20ish to 40ish. Items and stages similarly expand. Stage editors, multiple new single player modes, the unlockable trinkets number close to a thousand, etc. It goes on and on. Thats not even getting into the mecanics alterations between each new game. No, smash is a game that most certainly reinvents itself around the tried and true all star mashup concept.

However, Smash 4 really needs to polish the giant featureset at this point. It has alot of awesome concepts that could stand to be better refined.

Nintendo kept even the most senior internal developers in the dark about the capabilities of Wii U leading up to the console's E3 2011 announcement.

Yoshiaki Koizumi - veteran developer, director and producer of games spanning The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (the original) to Super Mario Galaxy - admitted that even he didn't have the full Wii U picture beforehand. (um....WAT?)

"As a developer at Nintendo, I had some information about the new system, but I didn't really have all of the information prior to the announcement at our presentation," Koizumi told Wired's GameLife blog.

AMD: Xbox 720 graphics will look like Avatar

Technology company AMD, who supplied the graphics hardware for the Xbox 360, claims that the next Xbox will be capable of the level of graphical detail seen in James Cameron's movie Avatar. Even on PC, that kind of technology just isn't here yet, but AMD claims the Xbox 720 will launch with it.

While AMD would not confirm they were actually working on the 360's successor, director of ISV relationships at AMD, Neal Robison, stated that gamers have a lot to excited about.

Robison also mentioned that the A.I. and physics capabilities of the next-gen hardware will allow for every pedestrian in a game such as Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row to have a totally individual mentality, meaning when you shoot a gun or run someone over they don't all just do the same thing. There will be no more mob mentality, where everyone just screams and runs away; every NPC will actually be an individual character.

Whoa.

AMD hyperbole aside this "confirms" that nextxbox won't be a stop gap like Weeoooooo.

WiiU will be substantially weaker than the next xbox. I kinda don't give a shit. Until third parties abandon the WiiU three years after launch, then I'll give half a shit.

I'm far more interested in Nintendo's dd and online implementation, because graphics were never a concern for me on the wii. Plenty of games looked great in spite of the hardware. It was the friendcodes and other ancillary shit that bothered me the most.

I'm waiting to see if they'll implement measures to consolidate accounts under a single login. I imagine they'll still maintain their own service for themselves and smaller publishers, which I'm most interested in. In addition the os featureset will be integral to providing a functional online setup. The 3ds I feel is close. Just needs a messaging and invite system.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #453 on:** July 17, 2011, 03:14:07 PM »

this system looks kinda crud and they'll have to really really convince me that the controller will add something substantial.

but on the plus side, it will probably get a lot of super downgraded PS4/720 ports or slightly upgraded 360/PS3 ports. that has to count for something, right? Like, at least with Wiiu, there's a better chance for a 3rd party library compared to the Wii? Even if it's all ports. So, even if you buy it for a Mario game or Zelda, you might have some cheap ports of games you want to revisit to make the thing worth owning (as opposed to the Wii, where when you're done with that Nintendo 1st party game, the thing just collected dust.)

annnnd... on what are you basing this conclusion? the 3ds had a couple of high weeks during and immediately post ocarina, but it fell sharply in last week's sales data, well below the psp again.

i expect mario kart will do quite well but i think animal crossing is "over", like Nintendo Dogs. seeing tables full of 1000 yen wii animal crossing for months gives a person that impression.

I thought I was current on the numbers. Psp and 3ds were 30kish for awhile. I'll go skim a media create thread. I think Animal Crossing Wii was just heavily overshipped. It was one of the highest selling games the year it came out.

As Media Create and Famitsu track only what is sold to retailers (unlike North America, retailers *cannot* return stock to publishers), a game could simultaneously be one of the highest selling games the year it came out, and a disastrously poor sell-through product. The only way to know for sure is to see how retailers order on the next installment. Animal Crossing is going to be taking a big hit on retail orders next time, especially since Nintendo is bafflingly making it the same old shit once again.

I never knew it was basically shipment numbers this whole time. My whole life is a lie.

Quote

Nintendo has registered trademarks for a range of Wii U video games and peripherals, continuing some of the original Wii's biggest brands.

While none of the trademarks may come as a surprise, it does suggest that Nintendo will offer a similar line-up to that of its current console. It is also important to note that none of these trademarks confirm that these products are in development, but we'd be very surprised if Wii Sports U wasn't on shelves at launch.

The trademarks were found by Siliconera, and surprisingly include variations of Wii U Music, suggesting a successor to the disappointing Wii Music. The addition of WiiWare U lends itself to more downloadable games on the console.

It also mentions new versions of the Wii Zapper, Wii Balance Board and Wii Wheel. As Nintendo has announced before, all Wii peripherals will be compatible with Wii U.

The full list of trademarks is as follows:
Wii U + logo
Mii U
Wii Fit U
Wii Sports U
Wii Music U
Wii Party U
Wii Play U
WiiWare U
Wii Balance Board U
Balance Wii Board U
Wii Wheel U
Wii Zapper U
Wii U Fit
Wii U Music
Wii U Party
Wii U Sports
Wii U Play
Wii U Ware
Wii U Balance Board
Balance Wii U Board
Wii U Wheel
Wii U Zapper
Wii Speak U
