I'm not shocked about Mario U looking better than a game on a less powerful system.

'Graphical fidelity' is a very broad term, wonder what the guy means? Image quality, textures? Detail? A realistic game should be more detailed and a toony game would be more stylised right? I think it will look a lot like Nintendoland, like the way they added patterns and pitules to surfaces.

The Forest looks amazing. I saw another horror PC game that takes place in an asylum. Seems like PC is the king of horror right now, mix that with Occulus Rift... im so excited.

So The Shadows of the Eternals trailer is left overs from when they were working under better funding? This isn't going to end well if they don't at least equal the fidelity in that trailer.

Yes and they were basically working directly with Nintendo like they did on the 1st game? That's the impression I get.....what a mess. But man I hope it turns out well. I still think Nintendo fucked up by not securing this as an exclusive & just absorbing these guys, even if just for this one game. The Wii U NEEDS GAMES LIKE THIS, just as the Gamecube needed ED1 back in 2002.

Rumour was that they were aggressively trying to build Eternal Darkness demos instead of making X-Men Destiny. Like Gearbox screwing Sega. Dodgy untrustworthy dudes who then got themselves in the shit with a legal case which they lost. Nintendo wasn't going to absorb 9 leftover developers. They should instead give them the $1.5 million for episode 1 and demand exclusiveness, threatening legal action given how Nintendo still owns ED and holds the patent for insanity effects.

I thought you were Robio for a minute...

Nintendo has never not been profitable.  Sony has only passed Nintendo once in yearly profit, and that was 1998 by ~$32M dollars.  That's one effective money printer.

Though tonight I doubt any Bulls fan would want to come out of hiding after what we did to them. Nyaa

So they made like 20 years worth of profit in 5 years wtf? They basically got enough money for them to sit on their hands for 15 years. One year they made $5 billion whilst the highest recorded yearly profit outside of them was like $1.3 billion? Wtf?

They've made like 32x as much profit compared to Sony in total? Even just looking at the GC era look how much they made with 18 million home console sales + gba. None of these Doomed threads make sense.

Had gobs of Power Up Rewards accumulated at GameStop, so I decided to get something to take my mind off my recent BioShock trauma. Used my credit to get Nintendo points, to in turn buy Mario and Donkey Kong... Which, as it turns out, plays pretty much like the hacking mini games from... BioShock... Cry

Sony and Microsoft are telling developers they're "going heavily" on free-to-play and in-app purchasing models with their next-gen consoles, according to Epic Games VP Mark Rein. Speaking in a roundtable discussion at the UK's Game Horizon conference, Rein said both companies will take on the kinds of financial models seen on mobile devices.


"The next-gen consoles are going to be fully embracing the free-to-play and these IAP-type business models," Rein told the audience, "So in case you don't know that I'm putting that out there. Sony and Microsoft are both going heavily in that area."


Roundtable chair Matt Martin of GamesIndustry International said that's what both platform holders are saying, but that "we still need to see some kind of evidence."


Rein replied, "Well, I'm telling you. I'm telling you what they're telling developers."

In the 124 years of their excistence, Nintendo only were not profitable for one year. This last fiscal year. Still doomed though!
