Explains why the galaxy games are the worst 3D mario games.
I don't believe this though
People are forgetting that they were not the first site with WiiU info, and that they also got that Vita RAM rumor wrong.Amir0x said:Ever since 01net got like a detail of the Wii U story correct people are now posting whatever they write as if it must be solid :/
01net has been wrong more times in the past than they have been right. This site needs to be a banned source for a very good reason.Amir0x said:Ever since 01net got like a detail of the Wii U story correct people are now posting whatever they write as if it must be solid :/
Ah, I see. I misunderstood the article. That's even less interesting.erragal said:It doesn't say Pikmin was a bought idea at all. There are two separate stories in there (Probably should have put a paragraph break between the two). Pikmin, according to the article, was a previously shelved idea that they resurrected and attached a cheesy marketing ploy involving miyamoto.
hardcastle_mccormick said:What artistic work doesn't have influences from dozens of others in its medium? Is anyone actually assuming Nintendo is so isolated that they don't see the world around them, and in particular prototypes shown to them?
And adding to that, what makes Galaxy great is not the design of the mechanics, as good as they are, but rather to implementation in the level design, in which Nintendo is still king.
I believe Gamepro already stated the 3DS stuff as fact in a headline.DaSorcerer7 said:watch kotaku and rest run with this.
I think we should wait and see if the 3DS stuff is correct because that's the most verifiable and if not then it should be banned.AzureNightmare said:01net has been wrong more times in the past than they have been right. This site needs to be a banned source for a very good reason.
Some people were saying they were returning their 3DS systems after the 3DS stuff.BocoDragon said:I think these 01net rumors are damaging... until we have a better sense of their accuracy.

Stumpokapow said:I'm sure they do prototypes. It may be the case that the overall basic idea for SMG was from a prototype.

erragal said:It doesn't seem like the article is really criticizing the specific practice of using an externally sourced idea to create a game; if anything the source is apparently frustrated that Nintendo isn't taking advantage of years worth of creative output to further cement its' future with a diverse range of timeless intellectual property.
Regardless of how much of a nintendo fan you are it's impossible to deny that they are very risk-averse when it comes to straying from their core IP's.
Holy crap how much fluff can you put in an opening paragraph and barely say anything.Our source, whom weve known for a long time, has always been very discreet about his/her feelings toward Nintendo, but this time somethings different. S/he is visibly upset, and highly frustrated like a growing number of Nintendo employees - by what s/he describes as the quasi-schizophrenic nature of the company. On the one hand, Nintendo has always been at the forefront of innovation, with a unique flair for what makes gamers and the general public tick. On the other hand, it suffers from a paralayzing structure and anachronistic dynamics resulting more from its own idiosyncrasies than the well-known features of Japanese corporate culture. S/he portrays Nintendo as a colossus with feet of clay, nostalgic of an era when it ruled almost unchallenged, burdened to the extreme by the mythology it has crafted for itself. According to our source, this self-mythology prevents Nintendo from fully measuring its true forces, and breaking free from the heavy layer of varnish that paralyses it.
hmm I remember this as well but then again I also recall a report that EAD Tokyo hired some developers who worked on Sonic Adventure 2 stages as well and that game certainly had some space and gravity elements in it.Shiggy said:A Japanese developer said on some forum that they pitched some gravity project to Nintendo and they used it in SMG. Actually it was on Tokyopia...don't remember the studio anymore though.
Rhod said:Seems pretty tabloidy/negative for the sake of it.
For example:
Fine, sure, why not? I don't know if Miyamoto came up with the idea of a floating, character-relative target-range and context-sensitive deployed forces. But I don't see why, even if he didn't, that means:
Why couldn't Miyamoto have just given the RTS its 'life' when observing his garden and finding the theme meshed well with that control concept he saw years before? That'd still mean that the idea evolved greatly thanks to Miyamoto's input.
It's all in the way you report it as to whether it was OMG TEH STOLEN and Marketers Made Up The Gardening Stuff, or the more reserved and likely 'it was a collaborative effort'.
Get your facts straight.bluehat9 said:Super Mario Bros. 3 was made with code stolen from some college kids when Miyamoto broke into their dorm room looking for somecold pizzadirty socks to satisfy his dirty socks fetish one night.
Cerebral Assassin said:I remember people suggesting that the original Super Mario Kart was based on a non-Nintendo game.
It wasn't originally a Mario game, but it was always made by Nintendo.Cerebral Assassin said:I remember people suggesting that the original Super Mario Kart was based on a non-Nintendo game.
To further perpetuate the idea that Miyamoto is God?Boney said:Plus the Pikmin part doesn't make sense as well. PR for what, who cares! So supposedely NST was working on a RTS on the N64? What does it have to do with anything if it indeed true. It's not like they took the game and reskinned it and tada Pikmin is here.

NOOOOOOOOO, that's not true. It's impossible!

badcrumble said:Wow so it's basically Doki Doki Panic all over again.
Sennorin said:If this and the "3DS with second analog stick" are truly untrue, then I hope Nintendo takes legal action against the owners of 01net. This is too big and too much of an accusation to ignore.
GrotesqueBeauty said:WTF is with 01net's current tirade against Nintendo? Sounds like they are acting as a megaphone for some "insider" with an ax to grind.

I mean, it's basically the same crowd which Iwata based the 3DS hype on.Boney said:That's like what.. 0,1% of Nintendo's costumers?
Stockholders liketo think they have the golden goose developer not someone who is easily replaceable that steals ideas from others.Boney said:cute

Rhod said:I was responsible for a (shelved) prototype for Nintendo about the idea of multiple copies of a character spawning behind you as you move around a 3D stage, and with which you mustn't collide. That obviously came to be in Mario Galaxy 2 with the shadow marios. Playing that was a weird day .
