I half want this game just for the custom characters, but watching web casts of it, it seems like everyone just uses the same three characters (Pryyia, Algol, and Nightmare). Not a whole lot of variety form what I see.
Battle Royal was a disturbing ass movie and even more disturbing manga because of that.
It's the A-10's grandfather...
Which is odd, as most people couldn't name a single human character in any of the classic Godzilla movies.
My guess is they publicly say 'yeah right' but privately increase stellar observations. In reality, you'd see something like this coming a long time in advance.
Once it starts showing signs, they work on countermeasures, as well as expanding their empire to offload some of their population.
The UK price needs to be reduced to closer match the US one. 242 pounds is just retarded. Would be cheaper to import one form the us and pay for the shipping.
It's not all of wipeout you get for free, just the Fury/HD DLC. The 2048 tracks are still exclusive.
Portable wipeout has always been a good time waster too. Best racing game at launch as well, minus those load times.
Super stardust is already on my too buy list. Really looking forward to that one.
Says you, meatbag.
The GBA had it by default because there was no competition, and the gamecubes was inferior to the offering on the xbox or ps2 from the thrid party developers.
The 3ds is looking iffy to me. Judging by sales, game attach rate isn't too great, and the nintendo games are by far the reason to buy it.
Lumines is a riot, and easily the best PSV launch game. It's high class addition all around.
I've already purchased Lumines, Rayman Origins, and plan on getting Super Stardust. for the target sale, i'm thinking of Hot shots golf, Wipeout, and probably blazblue, but I haven't read any reviews for that one yet.
Despite the vita being available, i don't expect a ton of sales this week for it. the $350 bundle doesn't seem worth it with the $300 version having the better memory card and being $50 cheaper. The $250 is cheaper still.
Honestly, to save $100 I can wait a week, and I think many others will as well.
That being said, between what i've bought already on amazon, and the upcoming sale at target, I should have five games, a memory card, and a wifi Vita by this time next week. Can't wait to give it a spin and really put it though it's paces.
Awesome news, will definitely buy this one day one.
Because there is shit all to compare it to on that platform. It's easy to look good when everything else looks fairly bad. there are a few legit gems, but there is also quite a bit that gets highly praised simple because that's all there is to play.
Except the ipad is sold as a stand alone device, not as one part of a client/server device liek the wii U. it's also a $500 piece of kit.
If nintendo made a full tablet, they basically will have to pull a ps3 to price it, and that will kill sales. They would also suddenly be in competition with the tablet market, which also puts a squeeze on them as they can't provide the expected levels of apps, and they hate the app store game model.
they are not going to take a multi-hundred dollar loss per console to move units, they simple cannot afford that. Sony and MS can spread the costs over dozens of divisions, where as nintendo cannot.
Making the controller a full tablet simply has more negatives then it has positives at this point.
The roms costs them nothing to distribute, minus the small amount of bandwidth needed. It might cost some future profits, but it didn't cause a loss in their current costs.
It's more because the third party offerings worth a damn are ether ports done better on other consoles, or just not as exciting as they could be. Red Steel, for example, was heavily hyped pre launch, but was fairly sub average at actual release.
Sony and MS have, for the last two generations, had the more high profile and more robust third party offerings. The Ds was the only exception, as it had a large enough audience that it generates quite a few notable third party games.
Apparently not, judging by the sales for the released ones.
those 'free games' were 30+ year old roms, who's dev costs were paid decades ago. Hardly a loss.
As for selling at a loss, I don't think the 3DS costs more then $170 to make, so I think they are still turning a profit per unit.
That's a far cry from what it would take to sell a full tablet as your controller, which would be a 150 - 200 per controller loss. this is pretty unreasonable all around, and pretty pointless as well.
the thin client model fits perfectly with what the wii U is designed to be: a home console. Making it as thin a client as possible is the only way to keep costs down, and still have the possibility of multi-controller support.
It makes little business sense to ship one with full tablet internals, nor would it add to the games any.
Suddenly, a lot of product codenames make much more sense.
The next version of this should just be called Genophage++
That's slightly mor eunderstandable. You have to know what not to read in public. I, for example, am a huge Negima fan, but despite the barbie like nudity, I still won't read it in public.
