It's hard to get more than an hour in on any given day where I might have some free time to begin with. About 6 to 9 months ago, I was trying to play through 3 different games that I had never played before at the same time. Ico, Limbo and Super Paper Mario. That turned out to be a bad idea, because I got a little burned out and ended up finishing none of them. Well in the past week finally I got back to them. I beat Limbo first. It turns out I was about 3 minutes from the finish. I finished Ico two nights ago (I still consider it to be one of the greatest games I've every played and can't believe it took me this long to beat it). So now I have the encouragement to get back to Super Paper Mario. |

And also played the secret ending after credits! I had it for 14 years and never played it much! I did need lots and lots of help with the walkthrough, but yes Ico is one of the most charming games of all time. Great game. Would you say it's like a Zelda? If not, what games do you consider similar to Ico? By the way, there's another Ico game coming out called the Last Guardian. One of the characters other than a boy will be a gigantic Dog Bird, she will be like Yorda. I'm looking forward to it. |

I feel like the NX is going to be 'Nintendo successful' - analysts, commentators, and a large section of gamers who weren't really that interested in Nintendo will proclaim it as a huge mistake, the end of Nintendo as a company, all the while, Nintendo will be happy with it and good games will come out for it. It will probably be a success in terms of quality, if not innovation. Will it be a sales success? That's a much harder question to answer. I'm not thinking so - the mainstream is probably going to prefer the systems they currently have, and I'm not sure there's enough consumer interest in the NX (beyond Nintendo fans, that is) for it to overcome the PS4 (and Xbox One!), which is going to have an even more entrenched sales lead over the NX by the time it launches, and that may well make people write it off sight-unseen as an also-ran. Unless Nintendo makes a deliberate effort to change this, the NX is probably going to be considered the "quirky alternative console you should get after one of the other ones", which, anecdotally, is the exact role I've seen both the Wii and Wii U take among people I know personally. |

(paid dirt cheap for it, and picke dup another BC base a few years ago too, ofw 3.61 mess. can't do shit with that one bar an ode and/or progskeet/e3flasher.) ... admittedly, i'm no fan of nintendo, but the original wii solved a LOT of problem for me in the gamecube department... by way of a wode jukebox ode, and a nand flash to combo the fucker. :P it was for ngc on a harddisk was the reason, wii roms as well are a bonus. (the pad optional playable games that is.) ... aside small technical limitations, it's been the best of both worlds for me, IF i ignore that fuckin RSI inducing baton. >:( ... the wiiu i have is stored away pending a flash, just waiting turn. reason for that block of shit, was wii bc AND the possibility of nds (possible dsi too?) rom playback. the wiiu gamepad is a touchscreen as well, and the systems this user goes for usually have to be a consolidated effort, or i avoid. :D |

There are rumors that the controller isn't going to have physical buttons, but instead have a touch screen. That way buttons can be assigned to different spots. Also no Physical no Buy for Me, and with the large open world games like Witcher 3 and the new Fall Out. Its hard to find the time to get through them. So I avoid them, because I know I wont finish them. I have been trying to make more time for gaming. So far I am about 30 plus hours into Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel. So doing pretty good so far. |
