HBO Mario Kart Trailer - SNL

First Look at Nintendo Labo

SEGA's 3 Biggest Mistakes | Gaming Historian

Mordhaus says...

The funny thing was that after the genesis, they almost always neglected to have a solid library of games available for their hardware. The game gear was incredibly more capable than the gameboy, but they didn't support it with titles. Same as the nomad. If they could have managed to swing one of their portables into being a viable nintendo competitor, they might still be around.

4K 60fps Photo Realism With Unreal 4 Engine

notarobot says...

Exactly. At a time when Microsoft and Sony were pushing graphics, Nintendo nailed gameplay.

"I'm cheap, and fun."

SFOGuy said:

so, one thought; the original Wii was success without having the highest graphics, but offering great games and an original experience.

And---while I look forward to great engines (though water and skin and hair are still so hard to get right)--the story and the mechanics are more important to me...

Nintendo for the Technology-addicted!

RedSky says...

Could be interesting.

I would normally say for something like this, it comes down to the graphical power of portable vs. console mode (and the footage in the video makes it seem like performance slowed to a crawl), but Nintendo have generally cranked out good first party games even on low spec hardware. 3rd party support might be a different question.

Also, the two controllers tabs separately split from the screen looks awkward as hell. Like seriously, the part where the guy was using it on the plane looked super awkward, almost like a parody video.

How free games are designed to make money

yellowc says...

Well I'm glad she added that Pokemon Go has a fairly reasonable model, I feel like that was the strong hand of Nintendo.

If you take away location differences, which there is a glaring issue with at the moment. Two players in the same reasonably supported area, the major difference in needing to spend money is how much you want to walk and that's the core of the game.

So if you want to play the game as designed (with no false limitations), you can generally play for free.

She's also not wrong that because of all that, I actually was inclined to make a purchase, it was small and I spent it on the non-expendable upgrades but I've been pretty anti-freeium in the past, so it was a big step for me to give such a game money.

I think Pokemon Go has certainly obliterated that 1-2% pay money statistic. I'm positive reports will eventually show it had a much higher stat.

It's not a saint, you can still gain a sizeable advantage by spending a lot of cash and these elements are still very much targeting the addiction of whales (expendable, short durations, element of luck with egg hatching). But it is a refreshing change for how they treat the "other" group of players.

The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild Trailer

artician says...

Looks nice, but Zelda really doesn't have anything left to say, it seems. Just looks like Twilight Princess again, and... I just don't care about that. Oh Nintendo...

The weird virtual reality of Google's Project Tango

serosmeg says...

This guy is awesome. Look what he did with a wii remote back in 2008. Nintendo did NOTHING with it. AR on your tv in 2008? I was really looking forward to playing some first person shooters with that mod on a wii...

He worked on the Kinect and now he is at google with Tango.

CRASH: The Year Video Games Died

SDGundamX says...

The years after the crash but before the appearance of Nintendo were Golden Years for my brother and me. We were picking up cartridges for our Intellivision for a dollar a piece (or less) at retail stores and sometimes for free at local garage sales. I know our game library was over 50 games at one point, which as kids we never would have been able to afford if not for the crash.

We also switched to PC gaming. My dad received one of the very first laptops (with an LCD screen) from his job and I managed to get Bard's Tale up and running on it. Some of my friends went the Commodore 64 route.

So after the crash, we never stopped gaming, really, and just transitioned to the NES when it came out. But of course games became more expensive then. We gave up on owning anything but the most popular games (Mario, Zelda, etc.) and instead would swap games with classmates to try out other stuff. Mom and pop used games stores also popped up around that time and usually we could trade in an old game for a new one with an out-of-pocket expense at around $5, which was around my weekly allowance at the time and let me get a new game once a week.

how social justice warriors are problematic

ChaosEngine says...

Fuck gamergate. They are not, never have and never will be about "ethics in journalism".

They are straight-up misogynistic assholes that make me ashamed to be associated with an art medium/hobby that I've been involved with for over 30 years.

Let's just put this in context. They claim they are against the collusion of game companies and journalists.

First up, the specific instance they targeted was not a conflict of interest. There are absolutely, undoubtedly, HUGE collusions between game reviewers and games, but gg ignored all those because they were for AAA mainstream games that gg likes and instead accused journalists of giving higher review scores to indie games.

Here's a fucking hint: go read some movie reviews, and tell me if you see movie critics favouring indie movies over blockbusters. Of course they do. People who are seriously into something almost always prefer a niche product. See also: craft beer vs budweiser, restaurants vs McDonalds, etc. I could go on.

But here's the cheery on the big cake of poo.

When a games journalist dared to express an opinion against an otherwise well-reviewed game*, what did gamergate do? Applaud their journalistic integrity in offering a dissenting opinion?

Nope: they started a fucking campaign to get the game company to blacklist the reviewer.

The hypocrisy is simply staggering.

And I haven't even mentioned the doxing, the rape threats and so on.

Once again, fuck gamergate. Frankly, they're on a par with the KKK as far as I'm concerned.


* polygon gave Bayonetta 2 a score of 7.5/10 because the reviewer felt it was juvenille and over sexualised. gg started a campaign to get nintendo to block polygon. Nintendo, to their credit, ignored the little fucktards.
