Nintendo Direct (Wii U & 3DS games)

You know how Nintendo announced Metroid Prime: Federation Force? And how everyone hated it?

Well, now there's this: https://www.change.org/p/nintendo-petition-for-cancelation-of-metroid-prime-federation-force

Nintendo, when something like this is happening over one of your games, then you really have messed up this time.

Japan doesn't care about Metroid.

The title alone had me thinking it would be kind of like Metroid Prime Hunters in that it'd be more multiplayer-centric (or at least -friendly) than we normally expect of a Metroid title.

But in the end it hardly looked like a Metroid Prime title. Should've kept it as it's own game.

Finally those chicken walkers have become canon.

I notice that the Landmaster can transform too -- they finally gave it a proper flight system.

The footage shown for SF0 has me a little worried, though -- if you use the gyro for turret aiming, how do you move your vehicle? It's easy to just presume analog stick, but with the design choice of using the gamepad for a first-person cockpit view, I dunno yet.

They said you use the left stick to move, gyro controls to aim, and do special moves with the right stick.

That picture is the most depressing thing I've ever seen in my life

For me it's not as depressing as seeing this was.

I wonder if Nintendo's next biggest game will be dedicated to his memory, unless one already has been.

I mean okay, maybe it's not as sad as someone dying

 

[TransformerRobot]

Well, Satoru Iwata has admitted that Nintendo must do better with third parties, but he hasn't really said any new info on what the NX will be like.

There's a rumour going around that it'll be released in July of next year, which would be a terrible idea. The Holiday season of 2017 would work better because of the increased demand, and Nintendo wouldn't want to piss off Wii U owners by cutting the Wii U short.

Omfg, first Club Nintendo and now this, I can't take this much sadness

 

[TransformerRobot]

And now there's a rumour going around that the NX is coming in next June.

I'm gonna call baloney on that, because even though Nintendo has done really stupid decisions with it's games and hardware, they're highly unlikely to pull a Sega CD/32X/Saturn.

So like. I just heard.

Satoru iwata just died last Saturday. Sad news for Nintendo.

 

[TransformerRobot]

It's a little while since Iwata passed away. I wonder who will take his place. I hope it's somebody who can steer Nintendo in the right direction.

The sound direction of this game... there are no words.

Is it being narrated by Inklings?

Also, I came across this thing, and all I can say is "Wait, what?".

And another note, they're pulling the plug on Nintendo TVii on August 11, which isn't really a bad thing since nobody used it.

Yeah, I don't think Reggie's body is ready for that. But what do we fans know, this is a corporate structure we're talking about and certainly Iwata's peers have more grounds to pick a new leader than we do.

I just hope he's somebody who can bring in the NX the right way, and get Nintendo it's third-party support back.

 

[RedLeFrench]

Very unlikely. If not impossible. Nintendo is a Japanese company, and a "gaijin" getting to run it from the very top would hurt their pride a lot.

I really see Genyo Takeda becoming president, for he has the experience... Buuut his age is quite a problem. Miyamoto is also unlikely, because he is more of a creative than a business type of guy, sooo... Only time will tell, I guess.

 

[TransformerRobot]

Does anyone here think the NX is gonna implement augmented and/or virtual reality? VR and AR are making a pretty big impact, and even Microsoft and Sony are already jumping on the bandwagon.

I know Nintendo likes doing it's own thing, but I feel it needs to implement AR/VR support for the NX, unless something goes sour for the AR/VR craze.
