Care to explain the logic of when one is getting a "new" (let us face it- it is pokemon) entry in a series the response is "boo hiss- want remakes"?
To be fair, he never did say new gens were bad. Just that it'd be nice to see RSE gettin' some love from GF :3

Yeah I might have gone a bit further than advisable there. I shall tweak my wording to question the worth of remaking something like that when the result would be precious little gain.

So, yea, there probably won't be huge 1st party titles. They gotta save that for E3 in order to get a tiny little bit of attention this year.

I kinda expect to see Yoshi's Island (After that Miiverse leak) And news on a Zelda game, MAYBE a small update on SSBU.
I'd like to see F-Zero or Donkey Kong but those seem unlikely.

EDIT: And also release dates for more games and showing off more features of some...

Alright, prepare for unrealistic expectations and massive disappointment, followed by frustration and misdirected rage.

Somebody grab the popcorn.
Got it :P

This time, the plan is a bit different from a regular Direct, in that I'll be talking about what kind of Wii U titles and services Nintendo is developing."
That's Iwata's message, by the way. So expect some in-house projects to be revealed

Seeing the source code above, I bet It's Virtual Console Related. I pretty sure it's that and maybe one or two Wii U games.
I hope they make the Virtual Console worth it, Gamecube would be awesome.

I'm just hoping for a new franchise. Aside from the mii games (which are minigames), nintendo has been rehashing games from over 10 years ago (pikmin is from 2001). It's no wonder I'm more eager to find out about third party support than about YET ANOTHER Mario game (seriously? Shouldn't you give the fellow some rest every now and then?).

Making good sequels isn't really rehashing. They're changing it up everytime and always adding something new so it stands out. As much as I hate to be the guy who says this, Call of Duty is what rehashing is. Not to mention, it's been years since Pikmin 2.

Also why put Mario on a break? Shigeru said back when he was first made he wanted Mario to be in everything. People want mario, as much as people will deny it, everybody always buys it and enjoys it. Could you imagine if say we had Mario Galaxy 3 (obviously I made that up), Mario Kart, Mario Party, New Super Mario Bros. U and all of his good titles in one year? That would be epic! They're also all different types of games.

I won't deny that nintendo always delivers on quality and innovation. But I'm sticking by calling it 'rehashing'. It are always the same worlds, the same mechanics and usually the same plot that thrives things. That, and nintendo's stubborn ideology to make games for all ages, puts them in a stagnant spot. And why do they do it? They had an honest chance of a new character with Kid Icarus uprising, but they insisted on using a character from one of their early NES days.
I don't know when Shigeru said it, but Mario IS in everything now. Sports, fighting games, platformers (duh!), RPG's*,...even pinball and puzzle games, if you know where to look. And to be honest, I doubt he doesn't have at least second thoughts about it. It's like with actors. There's some amazing talent out there, but if you see one play in too much movies, it's starting to lessen the experience.





*It may just be me, but I feel like the paper mario series is more of a parody on RPG's than the real deal. Which is probably because the main protagonist is pretty much a mute.

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
