Hoo boy, sorry but if there was ever an evident demonstration of the term "rose tinted glasses" it would be this post.
GC was pretty mediocre but N64 had a damn good lineup that is miles ahead of the Wii.

I'm kinda wondering how long this upcoming generation is going to last. I mean, we're going to see an even smaller jump this time around in visuals.. how much of a leap are gamers going to expect, and will they really get to a point where they say things like, "The 720's graphics suck ass! We need the 1440, and we need it, like, yesterday, dude!"
They're pretty much have the same level of popularity IMO. A competitive racer like F-Zero would be a perfect "core" title to show a strong commitment to online.
An article about EA alarming situation, speculating about the fact that it could be a takeover target
Just imagine Nintendo acquiring some of their franchises, the glorious Bullfrog/Westwood/Origin/Etc era, hiring some of their employees, and opening a western studio dedicated to refreshed/up to date "old school" PC IP's adapted to Wii U...
Back to the news, i hope there won't be a drastic restructuring with a lot of job cut-off
Edit: and that some Wii U titles in development get canceled, like Sega with its recent bad financial news.
Back in the day glory had nothing to do with sales. I would have given anything to have more of the quality of the GC and 64 era during this gen.
Many are trained like robots to want more and expect more out of greed and a so-called expectation of advancement.
I can't believe some actually really want this, they just become cyclically silly.
You never hear any gamers say "I can't wait for the next so and so system, it's level design is going to be so much better."
Yeah, I hope I can get a nice stream or it's on an HD channel.I just want to watch it on my HDTV. :lol
If it is, I'll be watching it by myself most likely. I would invite my girlfriend, but she will most likely be in class. Besides, I get pretty intense during the conference and I doubt she will want see that. :lol
Isn't that what we're trying to do here? Speculating on how a new system can be improved upon based on its non-graphical enhancements? (edit: and getting hyped about it!)
Hoo boy, sorry but if there was ever an evident demonstration of the term "rose tinted glasses" it would be this post.
Would the two rumoured racing games (Project CARS and Concept Grand Prix) not perhaps fill this particular niche, or are they too different?
That depends. I personally enjoyed the N64 and GC more than I did the Wii. I found this due to the fact that N64 and GC had more quality multiplayer titles that my family, friends, and I enjoyed together. The Wii didn't really have that same charm, however, the Wii did have some great titles.
Edit: With the Wii U, I would love to see a lot of multiplayer titles.
I've have to vote for the Wii as my favorite, but it cheats in the form of the included Virtual Console.That depends. I personally enjoyed the N64 and GC more than I did the Wii.

My comments were purely on graphical expectations.
Non-graphical enhancements - and the associated new gameplay options that they enable - are going to be where it's at.

Oh, of course they'd have to be selective in whom they choose for those kinds of events requiring travel. Maybe they can mix things up a bit, where instead of bringing two folks from Major Site, they bring one person over from Major Site and another person over from Fan-Run Site. There are ways where some sort of middle-ground of compromise could be established, I think.
I'm thinking though that they could still do more interviews and reveals elsewhere - but instead of physical travel, they could take advantage of the internet and do Skype interviews or telephone interviews - those are pretty cost-effective ways to communicate.
Heck, another example: Nintendo could even do invite-only Let's Play videos to show-off a game. Or they could mail a console with a disc and remotely control it such that the game is unplayable after XX/YY/ZZ date, and the disc must be returned immediately after use.
The idea that some of these large media outlets are being given more access can be a bit repulsive at times, honestly. Just my own personal take. There's gotta be a better way.
Whaaa?
Wait.. wasn't Toonces a few spaces above here earlier?
Whaa happen?
I've have to vote for the Wii as my favorite, but it cheats in the form of the included Virtual Console.
On games made for the system itself, it's a close tie between GameCube and Wii for me.
Those Mario Galaxy games keep coming to mind, but the GameCube's body of work - Eternal Darkness, Wind Waker, Chibi Robo, Tales of Symphonia.. is was too good to me.
and after he steps out, it would burst into flames, a genuine tribute to the quality of the star fox franchise.

(my favorite Toonces was when Steve Martin was in the car with him)

MK Wii and NSMB Wii were great multiplayer titles, but yeah N64 is still king in 4p awesome sauce.

Yeah it was discussed earlier today, with a possible explanation as the Wii U may not have been an intended platform but can still run it.
Or of course the Wii U can't run it, who knows.
There is a better way. It's called "cutting them out of the equation entirely".
Microsoft and Nintendo both have been making moves that put them at the tip of that, with self-delivered news, peer-based reviews, the options for targeted marketing of games based on play records... aside from opinion pieces that little to no one gives a shit about, what does gaming journalism have left to offer?

Tim Sweeney is the posterboy for pushing unsustainable business models to push a middleware solution.

You're right, and I stand by it where most third party titles are concerned.
I've lost count on the no. of occasions where GC software has outdone equivalent offerings on the Wii. It's not the hardware - the shift in development priority and effort in hardware utilisation is what took a nose-dive pretty much everywhere except EAD and Texas.
Or he meant they haven't announced which platforms will use the engine.
Good grief, and now you go and blow my mind in reverse. Mmmmmm, how I pine for the days of system draughts! Bring us back to the days when NCL could barely be bothered to release one major game annually.

That's about 5 worthwhile games a year and I made sure to only include the games that were well reviewed pretty much everywhere.
It is a really ambiguous comment. Seems like he could have phrased it differently to clarify his meaning.

I'm more than overjoyed at how far the first and second party titles have advanced with this gen -- no complaints there.Just tell me you like SMG much more than Mario Sunshine and we can be best buds.
The Turoks were on PC too IIRC. But yeah, N64 was a beast.
Those Aki wrestling games are some of the best games around.
My list > your list.
I just remember being into them on the N64 and never realized there were PC versions until a few years ago.
I wish we still had quality Wrestling titles like the Aki ones. The closest we got was Day of Reckoning and THQ killed that off for SvR
Lets just agree to agree.I'd argue your list = my list = <3
