Animal Crossing could hit non-Nintendo platforms

This is probably the ideal Nintendo franchise to go multi-platform in. If they could make some "lite" version of the game for mobile devices or something else, and have the data transfer over to a console or 3DS version they'd have something very powerful on their hands.

It could be the single biggest cash cow if it did. Fleece the mobile/tablet users, say the content is all included on 3DS/Wii U or whatever. The DS and Wii versions controlled with touch/IR too. So they already know how to adapt it.

Yep. I am a big fan of core gaming fleecing mobidiots. Charge them for every stick of furniture with ability to import into 3DS version. A sucker is born every minute and they should be funding my gaming hobby overlords.

Additionally FUCK RE6.  I am now playign 3D Dot Game Heroes as therapy.

Hey now. Those mobidiots are just unaware members that have yet to be introduced to enlightment by informed veterans of the society that we. . . oh fuck it. Take all their money and keep my costs down!

What? Why? That sounds like saying, "I'm tired of slamming my dick between the toilet seat and lid, so instead I'll just slam my hand between them.

Um.....isn't he the guy that caused them to shift focus in the 1st place? Lmao


That's the secret of corporate success man. Make some dumb decisions so that things look bad, then go back to the way things were when you were successful and be hailed a genuis for it. I'm pretty sure that's what Iwata is doing right now.

I finished Panzer Dragoon Saga....my 1st ever Saturn finished game. Definitely a very original, Unique RPG, even now 16 years later there's really nothing like it. Some bullet points:

  • Air based combat is great fun. Switching to different areas trying to get behind targets is a nice touch.
  • The game is very linear...it almost feels like an RPG inside an Adventure game. Not much leeway for exploration.
  • Its also short....as usual, the amount of discs it takes up is misleading. I beat it in 22 hours.
  • Love the Japanese voice work.
  • Would have liked some on foot combat to go along with the dragon combat.
  • Beautiful graphics for a Saturn title. Good sound.

Add this to the list of games that Sega is foolish to never go back to. As is the case with most unique games, it has some rough spots that could have been perfected in sequels. Imagine this series on later consoles with ground based combat, an actual party instead of just a solo character. Deeper skills and weapon systems, etc.

An awesome RPG that back in 1998 was only bested by Final Fantasy 7 and Xenogears. 9.1 rating.

No Ubisoft open world game has a demo. Why would this be any different?

I wish they would release a Panzer Dragoon Saga HD digitally on xbox marketplace for 7.99.  Maybe even 11.99 I'm feeling large.

Sounds like a game I'd quite enjoy.
