Miyamoto: "Nintendo Wii U is okay I guess sort of not really" - Page 5

Find a vid that compares the intros, or use youtube doubler to do it. It really is an impressive difference. If there's a complaint I have with what I've seen of OoT 3D, it's that the audio doesn't sound as good as I'd like, just in terms of actual audio quality. Of course, the ZREO team has set my expectations for Zelda music pretty high.

I have to say, I could care less if they made OoT look any better at all, cause I am a sucker for my favorite game of all time

I downloaded the 3d trailer for MGS 3D Snake Eater. Freaking awesome, and looks better than the original PS2 version. Also, taking photos with 3DS camera and turning them into camo? I am gonna abuse that SO hard.

So your theory is that a company is spending millions of dollars on launching a system they don't really believe will succeed? That they're throwing away good money on a crock of shit that will end their company as they know it (I.e. the Dreamcast).

That sounds the opposite of plausible. It's much mote likely they're distancing themselves from having the revolutionary new console that will change gaming forever. That's almost the only way to follow the Wii's success.

I didn't bring up the Dreamcast. Nor did I say the Wii U will be bad. Just that it is silly marketing to continually point out that it isn't totally amazing and great.

What I am saying is that me and America are ready to be lied to again by Nintendo. We need it. We crave it. More than enough time for fingerpointing and disillusionment after the thing launches and we all buy one and find out it isn't Electric Jesus.

OR we find out it actually is Electric Jesus. Because I am ready to look forward to buying Electric Jesus. Instead I continually am told that I should only expect to get Electric Mithras or maybe Electric Zoroaster at best.

Nintendo has confirmed they don't plan on localizing Last Story, Xenoblade, or Pandora's Tower.

Suddenly that whole "We hate money" theory is sounding more feasible. [/teasing]

And yet, English versions in Europe.

Dammit, they're pulling a Square on us? If Ocarina weren't everything I dreamed of and wished for in a remake, I would so be pissed at Nintendo... no I wouldn't. Dammit, 3DS is quickly becoming a "God damn I'm glad I have one now, because the next few games up for it are gonna rock!" system for me.

People get asked questions and then they answer them. I don't understand why you think lying is a good idea.

Online? No, they're not trying to be the best online company. The best online company will operate primarily on PC. Claiming that you'll have something better will just make you look like a fool when you fail. I will concede, though, that generally it looks like Nintendo still doesn't "get" online.

Movies? No shit. What did you even expect and who gives a fuck? It plays games. That's what it's for.

Graphics? There have been lots of waffley statements about that. Sounds like no one knows what's going on. Looks like it won't be mind-blowing. They abandoned this direction several years ago, so again, not really surprising.

DQX? WTF? Wii U has BC. It can play Wii games. Not like DQX is even being made by Nintendo or anything so I seriously cannot understand what this has to do with anything.

They have some crazy-ass control scheme and they think the way it works is gonna revolutionize your family or something. That's what they are making the console for. They're not making it to play movies and they're not trying to stroke off technophiles for the first few years before modern PC's inevitably overtake them. They also have a strange attitude about online. You can think what you want about all this, but they have their objectives in mind, and those are what they're working toward. If you ask them about something they are not trying to do, obviously they'll say, "that's not really our focus."

Maybe what you want to say is that Nintendo's focus is bad, or at the very least that it doesn't appeal to you. You seem to think they're trying and failing to achieve something, when in fact it doesn't seem they are trying to achieve that thing at all.
