Folders is the one thing that needs to be added to the 3DS (and eventually Wii U) OS. I want to put all my NES and GBA games into folders.

yupp, i have to post a screen of the clusterfuck that my 3DS screen is now. i tried to give that shit some sense some time..buttt nahhhh....no chance.



FAKE EDIT:

i'm here, because i have 1 1/2 week off of work. 10 days sunday. i dont care :P

Star Fox Command was pretty Star War-sy in a sense. That game exuded space opera: ^ not spoilers, even if you somehow know the context

Haha that's the one where They join the G-Zero racing league.

[Nibel]

What the hell is this about? Never saw this

[weird]

they should do it like iOS where you can see a mini-grid of your apps in the folder

see? that's all i'm talking about!

easy to do. no big effort. someone need to hack the 3DS OS and manipulate it to do something like that.

How is Star Fox Command? I skipped out on this game due to bad word of mouth, but as the years go by, people now say it's not THAT bad. Not sure how good or bad is it.

Well, you're able to get out of your ship and shoot things. That's the cardinal sin right there.

I actually liked the game for the most part. And the ending stories were usually pretty funny.

No?

There's two phases.
There's the TBS phase where you try and protect your ship and there's the flight phase where you shoot down enemies and buildings.

[Cow Mengde]

You do that in Command as well? I thought it was only the Namco game?

Yeah, been thinking about playing it for the endings.

It is not a bad game. It just is Star Fox in a different direction. More of a strategy with loose bits of action.

Those endings were done by Nintendo's Takaya Imamura. The same guy who created the F-Zero and Star Fox universe.

I still like this design that Nibel made a long time ago:



I don't like his controller OS design (which was esentially the same thing but on a controller lol), but that one for the TV was good.

[BlackJace]

GAH stupid me. You do that in ASSAULT not Command. My fault.

[AceBandage]

It's good and all, but it's also just a straight copy of the 360 Dashboard.

[Shin Johnpv]

I stand by it being some kind of amalgam of the 3DS and Wii OS'. Specially with the dual screen aspect, look, view of the 3DS OS. It only makes sense. I think you're going to be doing most of your selecting of apps and games on the Wii-U tablet.

[-Pyromaniac-]

It's good and all, but it's also just a straight copy of the XBox Dashboard.

I don't think so. I think the xbox dashboard is bordering on obnoxious with the things going on in it. Also it's more horizontal. This one seems to have everything on one screen. Which is perfect imo.

[ReyVGM]

How is Star Fox Command? I skipped out on this game due to bad word of mouth, but as the years go by, people now say it's not THAT bad. Not sure how good or bad is it.

It's horrible. All missions are all-range and about "killing x amount of enemies" or "destroying a missile". There isn't a single on-rails mission. You control the game with the stylus on the bottom screen, but the gameplay is in the top screen.

The worst part is... the hoops, the god damned hoops. Have you played Superman 64? In SF Command, they actually force you to go through hoops to be able to destroy the target bases. And those horrible missile missions... you have to destroy a missile in x amount of time, but you have to go through hoops that make you go faster and faster. And if you miss a hoop? Mission failed.

I liked the strategy aspects though, but I would have really loved classic on-rails missions and no fucking hoops.

Where are the ads? :P

[weird]

Just a few more posts and you can make it to 100 in this thread.

Lol, i'm going to be awesome in the next thread. Top 10 or bust. :3

[AceBandage]

Those come via SpotPass, luckily.
Though, I actually don't mind the ads on the 3DS SpotPass.

[Shin Johnpv]

It's still REALLY similar to the 360 OS. Specially with your Mii standing there with objects and items on it.

I don't think your Mii is going to be such a part of your OS experience. I say again look at the 3DS, there are Mii games and interactivity, but you don't see your Mii during regular OS stuff.

[HylianTom]

True.. not too obtrusive. I just hope that Nintendo doesn't go overboard.

Ideaman came in blistering. He might be a challenge for a top 3 position at his pace.

[Wolfie5]

so where is Wii U Speculation Engine 3.0: Hopefully it will be 4.0!

[-Pyromaniac-]

Late march/april my posting will slow down considerably I predict, because of finals.

[AceBandage]

Well, better prep up the third topic.

[ReyVGM]

so where is Wii U Speculation Engine 3.0: Hopefully it will be 4.0!

That would be a great title for the next topic.

[ClovingWestbrook]

If anyone has a new thread ready let me know. If not I will do it.

[bgassassin]

Ace has it ready. You like to jump the gun. :P

Ace if you keep the OP updated with new info in the next thread, I'll try to help you out if i see anything missing... I've read 380+ pages of this thread, and usually read every post. (since I'm at work usually when I'm on here) but yes, that would hopefully keep us on topic.

If anyone has a new thread ready let me know. If not I will do it.

ace is doing it.

[Shin Johnpv]

I've got some freelance work for the next 6 weeks starting tomorrow, so my posting is going to be super slowed for those weeks. I'll just have to come back stronger, after.

[Gisk]

I still like this design that Nibel made a long time ago:

I like this, but the designer in me says there's too much empty space on the left, unless the tiles are supposed to scroll past your mii.


The Wii U should just take the wii menu and make it so that the "channels" are re-sizable, and add folders. Its a pretty capable interface already, and is much better overall than the current 360 dashboard.

[weird]

Ideaman came in blistering. He might be a challenge for a top 3 position at his pace.

Yeah, ideamens posts are full of blistering, glittering, crazy funk. I like them.

when did he join, anyway? And is he some dev janitor guy or something? He seems to know stuff!

[Hobbestetrician]

Super hyped for Speculation Thread 3!

I like this, but the designer in me says there's too much empty space on the left, unless the tiles are supposed to scroll past your mii.

There is a lot less empty space on that mock-up than there is on either the 360 dashboard or the XMB. I like the look of it and with some tweeks would be really sweet.

[AceBandage]

Gotcha covered, man. :D

So, who's making the 3rd thread?

I agree! hopefully Nintendo sticks to it. I love how android 4.0 gives you the folders option, I really hope they do it like that.

[-Pyromaniac-]

he claims he is an ex journalist who still has some contacts, no one knows if it's true, we accept it regardless because we don't care :P

Yeah because you were known for spamming this thread up with all your posts. ;)

This is the one thing the Wii and 3DS OS needed/s badly. Being an ambassador on 3DS, with a few downloaded games, and some other stuff and you just feel the need for folders.

It would be nice to be able to set up category channels, and have sub channels in them.

Like say having SNES VC Channel, or N64 VC Channel. Hell or even going Adventure games channel, RPG Games channel. Basically let people organize shit how they want.

Well I was a lot more active in spec thread 1. This one, I've been a lot quieter. I make no promises about spec 3/4 threads.

Third one might be the last thread before E3? Possibly!

HAHA, you're joking right?

There has been 20 pages added to this in like a day and a half.

Thanks, not sure what we'll need right now. Most of what will be in the OP will be stuff we learn between now and E3 (or thread 4).
