Nintendo Just Earned My Respect Back...

Archive: 16 posts


Well, over the past couple of days, Nintendo's been announcing tons of new stuff like crazy. Let's look over what they've given us so far:

-Nintendo DSi: the new Nintendo DS with a built-in camera and SD card slots for uploading pics and music. Also, there will be a store to connect to and download new features.

-Club Nintendo US: Club Nintendo finally arrives in the US! You can accumulate points through buying games and such to earn prizes.

-Gamecube Remakes for Wii: Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, Pikmin, Pikmin 2, Chibi Robo, Mario Tennis GC, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2 will all be re-made to work with the Nintendo Wii

-New DS Games: Mario and Luigi 3, Dragon Quest IX, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (will link the DS and the Wii)

-New Wii Games: PunchOut!!!, Another Code, Sin and Punishment 2, Dynasty Warriors, and a Tales game

I knew Nintendo would swing around sometime. This list has somewhat restored my faith in Nintendo's gaming industry.

Yeah Pikmin was an awesome game, Especially pikmin two with the multiplayer, wow I miss that game now... Too bad I don't have a Wii, but oh well I know some people. Good list, very well organized. I'll give you some rep for it 2008-10-04 19:56:00

The only way they are ever going to earn my respect back is to put Majora's Mask in the store.2008-10-04 20:08:00

It is good to see nintendo release a decent games finally the problem is msot of us want to see the nintendo of old but the main problem is the nintendo of old was losing them too much money, so it's a hard situation to be in.2008-10-04 21:21:00

The Nintendo first-party line-up is pretty bad in my opinion. Animal Crossing looks like they've added very little and I can't see much fun in Punch-out! outside of the nostalgia factor. I could be wrong of course.

However, third-parties are really stepping it up and there's a TON of decent games on the way. My personal favourite is probably Fragile. Look it up if you enjoy the work of Tri-Crescendo (Baten Kaitos, Eternal Sonata).

The Wii collected so much dust in my room, I ended up selling it. After seeing all of their press releases, I know I did the right thing.

Now if they mentioned something about a Secret of Mana remake, then I'd cry and run to the store and re-buy the system.

Ya I was super excited when i heard about the Punch Out! announcement. Tokyo game show is starting in a couple days so who knows they might have some surprise announcements on the floor there too. I'm hoping for Kid Icarus announcement and maybe a tru Wii Zelda. I loved Twilight Princess but that was a Gamecube game changed at the last minute to be a wii game. I want to see what they can do with Zelda from the ground up on the Wii.2008-10-07 20:23:00

The hope of a new Zelda is pretty much the only reason I still have my Wii. 2008-10-07 20:25:00

Nintendo won't be at TGS so don't waste your time on those expectations.
