@ShadowlinkBack when Pokemon first came out, the internet wasn't as propagated as it is now. Even in the following years, part of the appeal was "catchin em all" and with two / even three versions of the game that contained exclusive Pokemon, portability allowed for a relatively faster transfer than anything else. Sure, you needed peripherals and other dongles but at least it was feasible. Nowadays, something similar can be accomplished with online on Wii U. Nevertheless, with a portable like the 3DS It is convenient to trade a Pokemon right then and there, that it is to go to your house to trade. Of course before I doubt it would have made logistical sense to put out two Pokemon versions and try to trade with your Nintendo 64s or GameCubes (although the GC was portable to an extent.) That is what I was getting at. At any rate, like I said before, I would like to see a Pokemon game on Wii U. It's going to be a cold day in hell before Nintendo makes puts one of its biggest IPs and handheld system sellers on a home console. My idea of an ideal Pokemon game would be a real-time RPG that controls like The Last Story. That means basically allowing the Pokemon to fight while giving different behaviors and/or attack patterns. And of course no random battles, but we all know that wouldn't happen. Homosexual marriage will be legal in all parts of the globe before that happens. |

@Tranquilo or anyoneHave you played Tales of Symphonia 2? I was talking a bit about this in Chat a few days ago, but there is a "Monster Catching" aspect to that game, recruiting enemies if they're the last standing guy in battle. No Random Encounters in that game either, so you can see at least one of the monsters you'll be battling with, and then you can take out all of his buddies (in battle) before you extend your hand. After doing that, you now have a Lv1 Bear (for instance) in your party, and he will gain levels with your human characters, and when he gets to a certain point..he'll change class, or his class path will branch (to like, "Werebear" or "Cave Bear"), and you have a decision to make (do you want a nimble guy who kinda doesn't look like a bear anymore, or do you want a HUGE GRIZZLY STANDING ON TWO LEGS DOING BODYSLAMS??). He gains increases across the board (SPD, STR, etc), and picks up new skills. It's BASICALLY POKEMON. Sadly, this game got DUMPED ON because a lot of people who enjoyed Tales of Symphonia wanted to spend more time playing with original ToS characters in ToS2. They're still there, but their levels are locked so it really isn't worth using them for an extended period of time (but that's what Tales of Symphonia was for, soooo..). Roll with the monsters! I got a good bit of my Beastiary all filled up ("Pokedex"), and I went back and caught another one when my path split ("Living Pokedex"). Pretty awesome, and fills a good role on the Wii. I'd LOVE to see a Pokemon game in this format. The whole time I was playing: "uhh, so why can't a Pokemon game work on a console??" It CAN. |

@TranquiloJust know that the game isn't FOCUSED around them (as Pokemon would be, obviously), and that they fill 2 of your 4 active party spots. And I don't believe you can control them. I do remember one of our Bears (we had the Cave AND the Were- variety; there are a TON of traditional-type RPG monsters, too, not just "actual animals.") hitting someone for a RIDICULOUS amount of damage. He was lumbering, but hit like a sack of bricks. All this Pokemon talk; instead of going X/Y for 3DS, why not go X for 3DS, and Y for Wii U? "Wanna catch 'em all? Get a friend with a Wii U or 3DS!" Hello, cross-promotion.. EDIT- If you're DEFINITELY going to check out Tales, you should probably start with the GameCube game, though I've heard that is an expensive endeavor now.. It is also one of a few games that allows you to benefit in your Wii game by playing the prequel on GameCube (Fire Emblem Path of Radiance / Radiant Dawn is another pair I can think of). |

@PogueSquadronYou can play console and PC games with headphones and the experience is just as "intimate", dare I say moreso because the huge screen can make things really immersive depending how close you like to sit (I'm a as close as possible kinda person even with my 60 incher*). Some people are kind confusing my argument a bit, too, btw. I'm not saying even necessarily saying "don't ever make Mario games or Metroid games or sequels on handhelds", I'm saying that there should be a divide between the style of games on both systems, and for them to make it at least fair. Aside from them being pussies, there's no need for Bravely Default to be on the 3DS when it could easily be on Wii U and be better in every way. Why is that 3DS only? What's the big risk for Wii U? And if there's a risk, build a fucking audience holy shit. Nintendo really has treated their consoles the way third parties do, relatively speaking. They refuse to build an audience on their consoles like they do for handhelds. That's bullshit, and it's not fair. On the specific subject of direct sequels/remakes switching it up, yes, I do think it's idiotic. And it goes both ways. I would prefer they stuck to a certain style for handheld games versus console games. Yet nowadays the 3DS is getting EVERYTHING. So how is that fair? They're literally taking old console games away that could have very well been on Wii U and IMO should have been, since the people who played it on consoles the first time, might wanna play it there again. I don't even see how this opinion is controversial. Would handheld fans like it if Dillon's Rolling Western (get that name right?) had a sequel only on Wii U? The next Pokemon? A remake of Pokemon Red/Blue? Link's Awakening 2 for Wii U?? I'm sure Grant would love it if a direct sequel/full on remake of one of the best handheld games of all time was on Wii U. And that's what Nintendo's done multiple times here already. Luigi's Mansion 2, ALBW, Star Fox 64, OOT, Chibi Robo, and numerous others. Where are the huge sequels and remakes on 3DS that Wii U is "stealing"? Nothing but a few downloadables? Oh and they're not stolen, they're just ports. Cuz Nintendo likes to suck handheld dick. I would be fine with a clear series either being exclusive to each console, or that they share both. But no, handhelds have been the only ones to get both. And there's no real reason for this, except for that fact that it's fucking safe and easy. Well Nintendo, grow a pair and create an audience on Wii U. It's not like it can't be done, it could be. If there's SO many great games on 3DS and DS, why not share the wealth instead of hogging them all? Maybe that way the consoles won't have any huge droughts. But nooooooooooo, precious lil 3DS needs all the games. Fuck that. A bit of a rant, but I just wanted to be clearer about where I stand. Either keep it fair, or don't steal all the games. Not that crazy of a concept. *plzgetyourmindouttathegutter |

@carlosroxSo exactly what is the 'style' of Zelda games that the 3DS is entitled to in your mind? I mean it can't have the big 3D console epics. It can't have the 2D top down titles. What's left? I guess Nintendo has no choice but to turn Zelda into a text adventure. Enjoy Return to Hyrule , Link. Try not to get get eaten by a grue. And I'd love a pile of those games on WiiU. I like games on both systems. It isn't a competition. @Mr_MustacheI would love Golden Sun 4 on WiiU. I would love Golden Sun 4 period. The only picketing would be coming from the Anti-Mustaches out there who hate consoles. |
