GC is the high water mark for post SNES Nintendo so power to them if this is going to resemble that (I know we're only talking sales at this point but still GC

).

And uh, I dislike talking about vidya in certain contexts. Basically if I'm hanging with people who don't play games I don't talk about em, pretty much all girls. Once a girl asked me about good iPhone games and I recommended Sword and Sworcery and I got laughed at then told 'that's why I love you, you're such a nerd' but no, she has never spoken about games to me again or played Sword and Sorcery

Should've recommended some casual junk like Cover Orange. I never hide it though, it's not even embarrassing. Nearly every dude I know, even the older execs at work like playing games to some extent.

just to add a reverse : visited wife in hospital yesterday - a chunk of the time was taking up with how sh1t i am for having an armour rating that's not in the 8-900 range in EDF3 on the Vita.

Dissed by wife on gaming... again. :/

Quote

Wii U will support voice chat, but not as a universal, system-based feature. Nintendo has instead opted to allow developers to include the feature on a game-by-game basis. In a strange move, however, the GamePad's built-in mic will apparently not be the default source for voice chat.The publisher revealed that gamers will likely have to turn to third-party options to find headsets with built-in mics, and then plug those accessories into the Pad itself. Here is the company's statement:

"Wii U will have in-game chat functionality for select games, including, but not limited to, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Assassin’s Creed III and Mass Effect 3. This feature will be supported by licensed stereo headsets that plug directly into the headphone port of the Game Pad. Licensed headsets are available from Turtle Beach and TRITTON."

Things get more confusing from here. Though the GamePad has a plug to support headsets, the Pro controller does not. That immediately cuts off the option of plugging in a headset for voice chat. It appears gamers wishing to use voice chat with the Pro controller will need to plug their third party hardware into the GamePad while playing a game supporting the voice feature.

yeah, it's a bit of a mess with the peripherals. There are a lot of neat and unfocused ideas happening with the system. Things don't work how you think they'd work.

This voice thing doesn't bother me since I rarely play multiplayer and don't bother talking when I do. Things like how you can only use Wii controllers to play Wii games are annoying. Supposedly there's a Wii ecosystem that's for Wii and Virtual Console games.

The other disappointing thing I read is that not every game supports tablet play. I don't mean Wii and Virtual Console games can't be played on it (they can't) but that it's a feature devs have the option of excluding in Wii U games. It's not a system wide thing. Actually, it's not bad if a developer wants to make a game using the two controllers in a creative away, but it's directly conflicting with the other selling point.

DCharlieJP · « **Reply #3009 on:** October 19, 2012, 02:07:03 AM »

this is all starting to go directly against what made the Wii a success : it was all so simple and straightforward....

now it's a mash of "well, this doesn't quite work, and this controller works with this game, you might need this one for that game, the pad works like this -sometimes- but not all, etc"

for regular gamers it'll be fine but the first sign of even remotely complicated gubbins and casuals will just glaze over and leave it alone.

Only one of my friends plays games these days and it has been the same game since 2003. He only plays Tiger Woods 2004 on his PS2. None of my other friends play games. At work, the average age of my coworkers is about 55 and they will think less of me if I talk about video games. Forums is pretty much it and my gaming is a secret life. Honestly, I'd rather admit to downloading porn and then jerking off to it than playing a video game.

I bought a GC around the time Resident Evil 4 came out. It really is a great little system. It doesn't have the gigantic library of the PS2, but there is a solid set of titles worth playing.

Most Nintendo systems are great buys about 3-4 years into the system's lifespan- you get a built in library of pretty good games without having to suffer through the dog days of waiting for something worth playing to come out, AND everything is cheaper.

They act how they act because they make a fuckton of money acting that way, and pretty much every time they've made even slight attempts to act like the other nerds, they've made less money/lost money. Understanding Nintendo gets a lot simpler if you rub your eyes and realize they are in it for the money and are better at achieving that than any other game company ever.

Yup, Even if the Wii U has a disasterous turnout, Nintendo will still make cash - a "disaster" for Nintendo does nowhere near the damage a "disaster" for MS or Sony would do.

I'm curious however how , if it all, the Ipad Mini now factors into the "BUT ITS THE ULTIMATE XMAS PRESENT" angle - seems Wii U just became the gift you give people you hate or, at best, don't love enough to go find an Ipad Mini.

That is true, however Bayo 2 on a Nintendo console marks the first time of a software/hardware "misalignment"; It's hardcore game in theme and gameplay on a Nintendo console, without a Sony/XBox counterpart. It's much more serious than VJ and Ookamii appearing on a Sony console. That's what's causing the glitch in the Matrix. The fabric of reality was weak as is, but this, this ripped a huge gash.

Maybe Star Fox is is a popular brand that sells well and people are attached to the animals that fly the spaceships. Encouraging Kamiya to make a Star Fox is like begging Mikami to make a Killzone game or something. It's a waste of talent.
