Miiverse trolls are pathetic


There's just something sad about a Miiverse troll. I mean its comical even. If you hate the Wii U so much, why are you on the Miiverse whining about it? Oh wait! Let me rewind a bit. The Miiverse is a social network of sorts built into the Wii U. It can be accessed on the web, but get this, you have to have a Wii U to even create an account.  let that soak in for a minute.  mmmmhmmm. See why I say they are pathetic? You're level of hate has to be pretty strong to go buy an atleast $300 machine just to hate on the Wii U, or actively find someone with a Wii U and make an account on their's just to hate.

It's truly pointless. What's the purpose? Do they not realize they are on the Miiverse, which is about 80% Nintendo gamers, 20% newbie gamers, neither of those crowds care about what they have to say. The Nintendo fans love their Wii U, and a few words from a troll won't change that. The Newcomers are just checking out the scene and getting advice and tips on what to try from the Nintendo fans. So what are the trolls doing, other than wasting space and getting shut down by a throng of fans with facts to back up their claims. Well, trolls, enjoy your pathetic existence on the Miiverse, just know that for each troll that joins Miiverse, thats another sell for the console that you loathe. Happy Gaming!

I want a Sgt.Frog game for Wii U


Anybody who has seen the Keroro Gunsou anime, (Known as Sgt.Frog in the US) probably already know why i want this game on the Wii U, and why i want it to be released in North America. The Wii U Gamepad could easily lend itself to this franchise, with Kululu's gadgets, the Kero ball, or even use it as a second screen when sending drones to check various locations out while The Sgt. is safe in his little room.

The story definitely should be an original one instead of following the manga or anime, because we've been there and done that. The show is so goofy and wide open, that it should be easy to create a believable storyline for the game to take place. It could be an RPG, a beat em up, even a party game would work well with the Wii U. I can't be the only person who wants to be able to access all of Giroro's weapons on the fly, or change Keroro's outfits on with a simple touch of a screen.  They could even add in parts where you have to play as Fuyuki, Momoka, or Natsumi. There have been a few games on DS and PSP starring the kerons, so they are no slouches in the video game world. I want this game to be made, and I want it localized for a US release.

The Last Story is IttyBittyTitty City

Normally this wouldn't even bother me. But 2 hours in i chased around some dang birds to get invisible armor only to realize EVERY DAMN WOMAN IN THE GAME IS FLAT CHESTED! Don't let the cutscenes or the concept art fool you. When you go to change armor colors or see them in game, the women are flat as Yurick. Why even give me the option for invisble armor? You know if you give a guy that option he's going to be expecting some big knockers, not these little ittybittytitty women. Hell, I hate Princess Peach, but even she has bigger boobs than syrenne. Who's idea was the invisble armor? Was it some sick joke? What the hell? Nobody alive can be satisfied with those little mosquito bites. Again, normally I don't care about small breasts, but damn it. They made me work for those only to be rewarded with flatzilla. I'm convinced they could all run around bare chested and it still be rated T for Teen because it would be just like looking at a guy's chest! Argh! Pissed me the heck off! Its still an awesome game and I love it, but damn it, if there is a sequel they better at least give an NPC some boobs.

Why Harvest Moon needs to come to Wii U and not Rune Factory.

You Read that title correctly. Harvest Moon Needs to make its way to the Wii U. I love the Rune Factory series, but there needs to be a return to form for the Wii U, and the Gamepad lends itself perfectly to the series. It could be used for inventory, conversation logs when trying to woo a potential wife, cow milking mini game, or cheese making, washing your sheep, status and health bars. The possibilities are endless. I also see Harvest Moon having a big community on Miiverse. If Natsume knows what they are doing they could combine miiverse with online capability and maybe even start a trade system. Miiverse would be chocked full of people trading goods and selling and auctioning livestock to better their farms. This game needs to happen, and it needs to happen yesterday! MAKE IT HAPPEN, NATSUME! I could use a little dose of "Serious Fun" on my Wii U.

Will X mark the spot with this One?

 

XBox oh how you've come a long way. It seems like just yesterday you were that weird little black box with the odd name that I laughed at. Who'd have guessed that Microsoft would create a console that set the gaming world ablaze? Or should I say the western gaming world? Yes, Xbox with all its merits, can't seem to make a dent in the asian markets.
  
      The main thing keeping the XBox brand from making an impact in the east side of the world, is the same thing that makes Nintendo so lovable. That's right. Just as I said Nintendo is unapologetically Japanese, XBox is proudly and painfully American. I have no doubt that XBox One will sell in America, but right now the features and games shown just are not hitting the spot for my admittedly asian-esque taste in games. If microsoft wants to hit it out of the park with this one, they have to be able to appeal to more than America, UK, and Canada. I am convinced that halfway through the 360's run, Microsoft just said "screw it!" and gave up on Japan. To make matters worse, the majority of the fan base agrees with that idea and thinks Japan just hates American products. If that were even remotely true, Apple products wouldn't be so big over there.

   Microsoft has to be able to sell in Japan and other asian countries if they want to be the top console. The Xbox One could possibly be the console that gives the XBox brand a fighting chance in Japan. Granted it still seems aimed more at American s with its features and the majority of its games, there are a few that stand out and seem like they will appeal to an Asian  audience, such as Spark. If Microsoft can get exclusive RPGs, adventure, platform, or even RTS games, it could help their stance. It is imperative that the XBox One sells more than just 1 million in the Asian territories if it wants to be the dominant console, and the only way to do that is with Games!!!! 3's a charm right? Your move, XBox, will X mark the spot this time?

Is Mario being milked dry




The question on everyone's mind these days, is simply a question of "is Mario being milked dry?" In order to answer this question, we must first acknowledge that Mario himself is a character and he has multiple games that he stars in. Is the character Mario used a lot? Yes. Nobody can argue with that, but is each individual franchise that he represent being milked? I would say no.

Let me explain. Mario on average has 1 or 2 main franchise games per console and 1 of each spinoff game. Do you honestly believe everyone who enjoys Mario and Sonic Olympics, or Mario Party is also going to go out and buy Mario Galaxy or New Super Mario Bros.? The problem is that people group anything with Mario in it as a main franchise game for some reason. Mario Kart has its own following separate from Mario Golf and Mario Tennis. I know several gamers who are "tired" of Mario platformers, but get excited every time a new Mario Kart is announced.

Think of Mario as a movie star. Would you group Enemy of the State and I Am Legend as part of the same line of movies with Will Smith? No you wouldn't. Though they all star Will Smith, they are vastly different from each other. This variety is what allows Mario to churn out several games per console and still stay fresh. If we look at each individual franchise, we see there have only been two 3D games, one sidescrolling 2D game and one RPG game on the Wii. How is that any more milked that the yearly Call of Duty games that are all the same genre? So no, Mario is not being milked, he's just the star of multiple separate game franchises.
