Sure
When all our kids are living inside VR worlds remember who said it would be so.
EDIT: Let me amend this cause in terms of traditional gaming it may never be that important so yoda is correct. It wont run third person games well, has no benefit for 2D titles so already the benefits are limited. But it is the start of what will be a virtual revolution for all kinds of media and communication.
Just picked up these two
Omg, Stick of Truth is awesome!
Nintendo plans year-long Mario Kart 8 marketing campaign
Nintendo . . . actually marketing something?
I MUST make a thread about this in the morning when I have more time. So good.
A thread about South Park, that is. Not about Nintendo finally marketing something.
And its a game that needs no marketing.
I have no problem with less games because I've honestly felt for a good 10 years now there have been TOO MANY games. You couldn't possibly play every good game that comes out unless you're rich and have no job, no girlfriend, no social life.
I have a huge backlog...less games means more of them get finished.
But....The Kotor games have a better story than the movies. If anything, follow those and disregard the movies.
All those Star Wars books I read as a kid mean nothing now... oh well.
Interesting hypothesis, maybe it will take a few high profile bombs then they'll scale back to something more reasonable?
So NES Remix 2 is fantastic, the better games make all the difference. The challenges are easier though, I am getting rainbow stars with no problem, probably because the games are better so they have better controls and are far more familiar, but it is noticeably easier for stuff like mario. Now Miiverse allows videos, so if you see a post in the game you can watch that persons run, it does this automatically, its fantastic.
The championship mode is super addicting, I was ranked 25th at one point. Basically you rush through mario games collecting coins in order to have as much time as possible to get a high score in Dr. Mario. I hope these challenges change over time. I am addicted at the moment, great game.
Earthbound Documentary Announced
The game is still just about the most popular VC title for the Wii U, fan translated titles exist for Mother 3 and Earthbound Zero/Mother 1, a soon-to-be-doomed fanmade Earthbound 3/Mother 4 is being developed, and now a documentary is being made. Nintendo really doesn't know what it's sitting on. You want to know the saddest thing? Tim Schafer is apparently a huge fan of Earthbound. I doubt it would take much prodding to get him and Doublefine to develop a new title. Knowing that it will likely never happen makes me sad.
LostWinds 1, 2 now transferable to Wii U?
That's kind of cool. I'd love to have it come to the eShop. I still never got around to playing Lost Winds 2. Hell, I wouldn't be opposed to rebuying the first one if they discount it a bit, or bundle the two games together.
BREAKING NEWS:
The Microsoft excavation has found E.T. cartridges buried in desert along with other games like Centipede. More at Gamespot.
Was that a surprise? I thought the ET games buried in the landfill was always a fact? I'm starting to see news articles pop up in my Facebook feed though acting like it's a legend come true. Shit, even if it was just a rumor, it's not like they found buried treasure. They found a dumpload of Atari games, mostly ET. That's like digging a hole where an outhouse used to be and being excited that you found shit.
Yeah I'm not really surprised either but apparently there were skeptics out there thinking that Atari just repurposed the cartridges or something. Still being a gamer from that era I find it kind of cool from a historical perspective and the upcoming documentary should be interesting to watch.
