Yeah, but with underpowered specs not many will develop for the Wii U once the new Xbox and Playstation are released. And c'mon, you'd be lying if you said you didn't want to see Metroid Prime in 1080p HD with more realistic graphics.


Riiight. Metroid Prime in HD would be awesome, but, you're making baseless accusations about a console whose specifications you know jack s*** about. Better graphics doesn't always mean there will be more developers. Weaker graphics never stopped countless 3rd party companies from developing for the PS2, now did it? It was the weakest of the sixth-gen consoles as far as graphics went, but guess what, that didn't stop the system from having awesome games.

People thinking better graphics are everything are entitled to that opinion but in reality I know me and a lot of others would buy a Nintendo console JUST because it's made by Nintendo, I mean Nintendo has such a big fan base due in large part BECAUSE of game series like Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Megaman, Metroid, Super Smash Bros, and IMO graphics do NOT matter as long as there is polygons better than the PS2, Original XBOX, or N64, it doesn't have to be so realistic that you crap your pants playing games like dead space or silent hill thinking it's real, it's all about the individual end users which are all entitled to their own opinions but the big N is gonna do whatever the heck they want and whatever they believe will sell better. Whether it does sell better or not can not be predicted by ANYONE because the ONLY way to find out is to wait and see. I know I will be a day 1 buyer, just like the PS Vita and the 3DS and I will return my product if I am unsatisfied or I will give it to my little sister so she can decide what to do with it. I returned the PS Vita so I could wait for the PS Vita 2000 just like I did with the PSP, and I gave my 3DS to my sister and she loves it. But in the end it's ALWAYS about money and profits and what the company decides to do with them.

EDIT: The_Randomizer's post above mine is also a valid argument.

i dont understand how the graphic argument can still be used that much, when the gamecube, far supperior to the ps2, did rather bad, as did the dreamcast, which, at the time of its release, was a beast too.

the psp, far better than the ds as far as hardware goes, wasnt as successful as its rival either.

sega genesis lost the battle against nintendos snes, when the genesis had more power in its hardware, game boy took the prize against the colorful sega handheld


its not a good argument

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
