[QUOTE=Wiggles;47381823]This is all academic anyway since I'll just end up waiting for the inevitable HD remaster on the NX. :v:[/QUOTE]

Why are people assuming the NX is a replacement for the WiiU anyway? Didn't they say it'd bridge the traditional and mobile gap? Doesn't that sound much more likely to be a 3DS successor than anything? That description makes absolutely no sense for a home console, not in the slightest.
[QUOTE=HybridTheroy;47381802]you played an early build last year though how does that have you convinced there won't be enough content to keep you playing?[/QUOTE]
The demo I played convinced me I would enjoy the gameplay. My worries about the content stem from what's been shown in videos, Nintendo's gentle approach to providing additional content (although this is has been changing over the past year) and just the fact that this a new venture from one of Nintendo's smaller teams.

You have to understand, there are enormous swarms of people who genuinely believe what you were only joking about, and they've been ceaselessly poisoning nearly every video game discussion board in existence (and Youtube, and Twitter, and everything else) for days on end.
It's getting increasingly difficult to tell what's sarcasm.
I wonder when we'll get more info on Mario Maker.

[QUOTE=Sift;47381798]I'm trying to desperately get into Splatoon. I keep looking at it and just feeling like it would get boring fast. It's style I dig, character design is charming as all hell but something just kinda looks off and I really don't know what exactly it is.[/QUOTE]
I think, in part, it may have to do with the fact that there is basically no reason to ever stop shooting and, as a result, gameplay becomes monotonous and boring to look at. In most every other shooter gameplay will be broken up between moving between objectives and engaging the enemy and whilst there is still a distinction between those in Splatoon, it's a lot more subtle.
Speaking of Splatoon, who wants an enormous Splatoon wallpaper?

(Click for ludicrous res)
BANDWIDTH WARNING - No joke, it's 6000x3800 and almost 9MB. Don't bother if you're on a slow or metered connection.
Splatoon looks like it's going to be one of the only shooter games I've bought on consoles other than Timesplitters and Goldeneye/Nightfire. I tend to stick to PC for my FPS/TPS games and this game looks like it's going to scratch my itch for good team based carnage, especially now that Team Fortress 2 is getting old and the new UT won't be finished for a while.
Just watching the gameplay reminds me of the various shooters I've played over the years. Jumping to parts of the map like podding in BF2142, various weapon types that are basically classes like TF2, good movement options and hectic gameplay like arena shooters, customization which fills that perk/skill point thing that most games have to differentiate how you play, and a unique art style that's not bland like most military shooters. It just looks like the [I]perfect[/I] game for me, like it was made with me in mind almost :v:
I'm definitely buying it on launch.

In the next nintendirect, which should be soon. Sakurai saying mewtwo is basically done, today's splatoon info, and that seattle meeting that happened earlier last week? Could be soon.

I bet Nintendo will come out with 1 map pack then sell clothing items. I don't see this a long term game. But I think it's just me not being that interested in Splatoon

I really wish the Mario Kart 8 replay editor was a bit more like TF2's replay editor, or at least gave you the option to focus on blue shells as well. I have (what I consider) a great clip of someone throwing a blue shell while I'm in 2nd with 3 red shells and 1st has the super horn on the final lap.
Blue shell made the guy drop his horn and I then punished him with red shells and stole 1st near the final bend of Music Park, but I can't get a good clip of it, because the replay editor simply doesn't want to highlight that on its own and I don't have a capture card to record each perspective (me, horn guy and shell guy) or decent software to splice the clips together.
The replay editor is a start and I hope they keep improving it in the future and won't drop it like they did with missions in Mario Kart DS.
The last thing you could wish to MK8's replay editor is for it to end up like TF2's

At least it doesn't crash 95% of the time and all maps/servers support them.

I'm 100% sure it's part of that deal. From the link alone Playboy seems to have some kind of gamer article thing. My guess is it's a simple back and forth of "you give us stuff to cover, we'll promote your games."

I've been midly interested in Splatoon, but I'm really sold on those grayfax.
Glorious 60 fps HD.

Heh, it's not like we can get them either. I've been thinking of getting that third party adapter. Nintendont added support for the official one, I wonder if the third party one will work too.

I remember a while ago some NoA reps were really excited to bring AVGNA to WiiU (apparently he has a lot of fans in high places), but there were some things holding it back at the time.
IIRC Nintendo's biggest concern was the heavy, blatant parody of Konami IP, and whether or not it was a good idea to publish the game with the risk of a negative response from the company. Apparently everything went okay though, which is great to hear; ScrewAttack felt it only right to put the game out on a Nintendo platform, with just how much Nintendo has influenced their lives and careers.
When they first announced the game it was intended for WiiU and 3DS. Also, i bet Nintendo wasnt that worried as they publicly sent out Meme run.

Neat, that game is really good. I might buy it again to play it with a decent controller.
Man, I remember this getting announced such a long ass time ago for Wii U and 3DS. Back in like 2013? I remember thinking all the way back then "wow, I wonder if Nintendo will be okay with this being like a big title on the eShop."
Since then shit like Bombing Bastards and Meme Run have polluted the Wii U's starting screen, so now I'm not as worried. :v:

Guess they saw that instant wave of rule 34 and decided to roll with it.
Reminds me of how Hideki Kamiya criticized makers of Bayonetta doujinshi not for depicting the character in sexual acts, but for portraying her [I]out of character[/I] in sexual acts (IE, too submissive). They apologized profusely, and promptly made changes to subsequent releases to comply with his request.
He knows what's up. That shit's gonna happen, you might as well make sure it's accurate at least.

That is a legitimate problem and I'm glad Kamiya gave them what for and remedied it.
