Nintendo

While looking at the game section I noticed a very disturbing lack of Nintendo. Now one thing. Yes i know everyone believes Legend of Zelda to be parallel to gods gift of fire to man but it does get old seeing nothing but Zelda love. Clearly the other series of Kirby, Mario, Star Fox, Metroid, Donkey Kong and many more need more love and attention. Granted yes Star fox had its own issues and Mario is busy trying to fit another party down your throat, hate for Metroid over what could arguably be a great game, Donkey Kong's good company (Rare) being sold to Microsoft, but they are fun. It just seems to me like people have forgotten about Nintendo recently, I do not blame the Wii or Wii-U. Having ownership of both at the moment I can say, many good memories and seldom any bad ones. The Wii-U in itself (while being of great controversy for the non-believers) Is well made, with plenty of upcoming titles to play. But that is my opinion. I'm off to play New Super Luigi U. In the mean-time. Lets talk about Nintendo and what they have done to make Gaming fun and awesome.

METROID!!!

Meh. PC for life.

I have no qualms with PC people, unless they start shouting the whole "pc master race" shit.

Touhou is PC.

I do like Nintendo. Really, I do. Mario is fun.  I just don't have much to say about it.

Och, we shouldn't talk about gaming too much. PC superiorist. XD

>Thread about Nintendo.
>Not talking about video games.

Pick one!

Nintendo is video games! I do like Nintendo, even if they've been rather... Weird as of late.

Weird is an opinion. Considering the specs of the Wii-u and all it can do. Its quite fun for those who want tothink outside thebox.

You must admit that the controller is kinda odd. I'd think the second screen would draw focus away from the main screen. Of course, my focus is hard to keep so maybe it's jsut me.

They did studies to make it so the right amount of focus is devoted to each screen depending on how you play.

Well the two games that i have for the moment are a bit interesting. Nintendoland for one player is almost strictly looking at the game-pad screen. There is a game where you look at the tv from time to time following "dance" moves from a game and watch, usually failing to do so and getting grabbed by a giant octopus. (thanks japan i know where that is headed) As for Super Mario Bros. U, the game shows on both the t.v. and game-pad, meaning i could just turn off the t.v. and play off the game-pad. Same with the older SNES games i have downloaded. If your playing multi-player, then your friends are using the t.v. while you are on the game-pad by yourself. Though in Super Mario Bros. U if doing multi-player then the player on the game pad is more or less a helper, placing blocks for people to jump on to reach heights (or if your mean, making thier jumps smaller and causing them to fall into pits or enemies.) In both those cases, the t.v. is, an added peripheral for others to look at.

This.

See, I'm not a console gamer, but that last line does'nt seem like a good thing, to me at least. But then again, PC player, I only need one screen for everything.

Well the whole reason for not having a t.v. on is part of the wii-u's selling point. The point being, if your parents or significant other wanted to watch their shows, they could use the t.v. and you are still able to play whatever you are playing. Just on the game-pad.

XD I'm probably not the target audience. Also I hate small screen devices. I don't like looking at them. To small!

To each their own, though it is really nice watching Netflix on the small screen.

Really? I would be annoyed. XD I like my screens to cover as much of my easily distracted vision as possible.

The possibility of being able to play GW AND check my forum at the same time intrigues me... Smaller screen for the forum, larger for the game- I admit, if the Wii-U was for computers, I would totally abuse the shit out of it.

This message was posted using the wii-u gamepad. Thank you Nintendo!!!! To verify message I must admit. Small screen is nice.

Winning!

Duck hunt. Best FPS ever.

Going back to this point, the Wii U also has an actual game controller with 80 hours of battery life.
