TalkBack / RE:Nintendo Fusion Tour in San Francisco

« on: October 29, 2006, 08:44:34 PM »

I envy that dude for being able to play Zelda. I was not able to play Zelda at my Fusion Tour in Georgia becouse the line was way too long. As much as I love Nintendo I was angry and let down by the Fusion Tour in my area which was the first I ever went to by the way. I don't think I will going to the Fusion Tour again and this is why. Other than Zelda which was the only great Wii game there was one ok Wii game (Excite Truck) and six sucky Wii games being Baseball, Tennis, Golf, Bowling, Duck Hunt, and Wario Ware. I was also disapointed that they didn't have Metroid Prime 3 there. I guess a lot of the reason why I don't like most of the Wii games is becouse I prefer good looking games and I hate sports games. I was surprised that Zelda was the only Wii game there that used both the Wiimote and Nunchuck. The DS games there where really better than the Wii games (Except Zelda) but that was not what I came there for. Also making me wear the retard strap that was on the Wiimote to play really insulted my intelligence. You really have to be clumsy/drunk/retarded to need it. The only good parts about the event was hanging with friends, some of the rock music, and the free stuff. Other than that the money I paid for my ticket and the longer hours I had to put in at work to go was wasted. I still do plan on getting the Wii on launch day since I am a hardcore Nintendo fan so I can play the Wii games that I really wanted to play.

The gamecube D pad works good for me. I think the playstation 1 & 2 D pad is the worst becouse of the space in the middle which is bad for diagonal movement. Why don't I hear anyone complain about that?

Nintendo Gaming / RE:The Revolution: the good, the bad, and the ugly

Well it's nice to hear Ian say something good for once. That kinda makes things more balanced. About wired VS wifi I think  most cable & dsl ISPs come with wifi routers I know mine did. I can't wait to play Metroid Prime Hunters on my DS. It's gonna rock! As far as HD goes it's really a trade-off. More power is needed for HD and that is why the Rev's specs won't make the system look lacking. Nintendo even said Revolution will look the same on a SD TV. While HD does look sharper too few ppl have becouse it costs too much. This is also why the Xbox 360 costs so much and why the games are $60 instead of $50. Nintendo understands this and thinks it's not worth it this gen. I think that is wise of them. I don't wanna pay for things I won't use. I prefer a cheaper console instead.

I wouldn't consider that a pro.  It's too iffy.  It could end up being a huge con.  I'd say if anything would totally kill the Rev it would be the controller.  Changing a tried and true controller design that no one really felt was broken in the first place is a huge risk.  I would wait until there are some actual games being shown before I would declare that as a pro.  It is a fact that we're getting a new controller but it's not a pro until we have more proof (or ANY proof for that matter) that it's actually a good change.

Ian I have read many of your posts over the years and I notice that almost every one of them bashes Nintendo. If you hate Nintendo this much why do you bother even visiting Nintendo sites? Yes Nintendo has made some mistakes in the past but I as a fan can logicly see why they do some things and I think they do have some good reasons why they do many of these things. Yes Nintendo does take risks but you have to when you innovate things. One of the reasons I like Nintendo is not only their great games but also that they are the only ones that have the guts to take risks to innovate to make games better and keep them fun. Why fix it if it isn't broken? I personaly don't like the same old recycled junk year after year and if you don't ever change parts of the hardware that affect the gameplay like the controller you limit the kinds of games that can be made. I think it will improve many types of games like FPS's that will feel sucky on a normal controller after using Nintendo's new controller. You also seem to forget about the classic controller shell which should be common will allow any game to work fine on it. Nintendo is changing the rules of videogames and that is why it is being called REVOLUTION. Think outside the box dude.
