@simmons5533: Wii U was the worst selling system in Nintendo history. That might have put a damper on their Wii love. LOL Personally I wouldn't mind if they kept the Wii Motes cause I have quite a few of them myself. But then again, I may not get the NX, it all depends on how Scorpio turns out. I might end up getting the Scorpio come 2017, I desperately need a 4K game machine for my TV.
@drake08: Key difference video games were not meant to be beaten back in the early cartridge days. They were mean't to be kept by the user for as long as possible to stop resale of second hand cartridges, hence games were made as hard as humanly possible. Every game was Rogue there were no save slates, you die, you start from the beginning.
It wasn't until the SNES era that video game designers actually made games with stories that were meant to be enjoyed for the content and not the repetition.
@simmons5533: Its the brand that makes them cringe. Unless they rebrand them NX Motes or something. I don't think Nintendo wants anything with a Wii Logo on it to exist in the post NX market.
@simmons5533: I hope they keep the Wiimotes, but given how they desperately wanna distance themselves from the Wii brand after the Wii U failure, I doubt it.
I think some games were awesome with it, most of the FPS games were great with Wiimote.
@hussin005: You are not seriously saying Tolkien is a lesser writer than a dude who literally changed his name to be more like Tolkien. Ask any literary scholar who's a better writer, a guy who writes popular serial fluff or a guy who novel has been translated in every language on Earth.
And Gandalf didn't die, they thought he did when he actually won the fight.
John Snow actually fucking died was brought back to life using leprechaun magic, if that ain't bad writing I don't know what is.
There is literally a scene in episode 9, when Snow tells the witch if I die again, please don't bring me back to life again, and she says I can't promise that. What kind of retarded dialogue is that? That's like some grade school kindergarden shit right there. Game of Thrones is filled with laughably bad dialogue like that.
LOTR never had a single line of cringe worthy dialogue throughout, despite as your claim being written for children. Tolkien's dialogue is poetry in motion, his character speak in eloquence and poise, while Martin's character say shit like "Please don't bring me back to life again if I die." "I can't promise that."
Deus ex Machina - If anyone can be brought back with leprechaun magic and unicorn tears, who gives a fck who dies, just get the witch to do her little naked dance and voila. Once you use a BS plot mechanic like resurrection by unicorn tears, you essentially throw out all tension and reason. Doesn't matter anymore if anyone dies in the series? No cause anyone can come back as long as it suits the selling of more books. That's why you don't use deus ex machina as a plot device.
Actually this episode was pretty good. What would dumb ass Snow do without people bringing him back to life and his sister saving his ass in war. Snow is by the far the most useless character in the show, yet wins and survives by sheer luck. Bizarrely enough this actually reflects real life, some of the most successful people are completely useless and make it on luck alone. Snow must have used up all his unicorn tears to survive that one.
@brunorr: You telling me that Ninja Gaiden didn't need impeccable timing? Only difference is DS enemies are more overpowered. DS does nothing different than past games, only the overpowered stats of enemies make it harder, you get fewer chances to make a mistake, that's it.
@simmons5533: 1080p looks fine in 4K. But SD looks like ass on a 4K tv, the huge difference in pixels makes SD games almost unplayable like Wii on 4K looks horrendous. 4K uses same aspect ration as 1080p, so you don't get stretched effect.
