    Nintendo Wii U

    in General Discussion

    hmmm.... I used to be a die hard Nintendo fan. all the way up to the GCN.

    I loved Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, Smash Bros, Mario stuff (Sunshine, Kart, etc),... hmm... ran out of stuff. I couldn't get into metroid or much else. So I went to xbox because of online multiplayer and cool games at that point i was just starting high school and all my friends had one. LAN parties were great.

    now after owning a 360 and ignoring the Wii completely, I'm looking back at the WiiU due to xbox one and PS4 reveals.

    the Wii U might be might next purchase only if these first party exclusives are amazing looking.

    Wii U owners, are you content with your purchases and what is your gameplay schedule like?

    Like I've been saying, I don't think I like any of the 3 new consoles, but of the three, I'm gonna get a Wii U because for one, they seem to actually be more supportive toward the game side of the spectrum more than the other two consoles, and I'm also a die-hard Nintendo fanatic and so obviously I'm gonna get the Wii U for all my Nintendo games. And then additionally SEGA and Nintendo have made a partnership now, so one of my other favorite series [sonic] is now going to be on the Wii U.

    So of the three consoles, if I'm gonna get one of them, it's gonna be the Wii U.

    I think Sonic began to truly catch my attention again when Sonic Generations released. Sonic Unleashed actually got me hyped too, honestly. It wasn't as good as I was hoping, but Unleashed, in my opinion, really didn't suck. Sonic Colors bored me to tears, unfortunately.

    With what has been said, this honestly does seem to be a follow up to Sonic Colors though , but so far it's looking way better and way more interesting and fun.

    Yeah lots of people are thinking a Super Mario Galaxy vibe. But after everyone saw the Desert level they knew it was different.

    Additionally, does this not remind everyone a lot of Sonic X-treme? Pretty freaking sexy.

    I'm not entirely sure any of the consoles of the 8th gen are going to do all that great. The only reason they will probably be a success is because of the games for it.

    Honestly, even though they are directing the consoles toward other people that don't even play video games as well, those people aren't seriously going to buy one. I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of a middle aged guy wanting to watch TV and listen to music and then decides to go get an Xbox One. I just can't see that happening.

    You know what would be seriously cool? If someone did a game made for the Xbox, GameCube, PS2, and Dreamcast again. Like a new game for the old systems. Only gamers of the 6th gen would buy it, but I think it would seriously be awesome.

    It will never happen, though.

    Meteo, the thing is that the older people are wanting the real Disney back. Everything recently has just been crap. Tangled was decent, and even stuff like Wreck-It Ralph was good, but when you go and look at Disney Channel or Disney Interactive, they are just getting it all completely wrong.

    Native, I'm sorry about that. ;P

    I mean, if Disney could continue going strong with stuff like Tangled and stuff, then great.

    Honestly, my biggest issue is that I think they are getting so obsessed with trying to do what everyone else is doing, when Disney was the first to do some of the best things. I worded that horribly, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's just like music nowadays. So many talented artists are doing crappy stuff just because they are trying to do what seems to be the cool thing. And the new "cool" sound is utter crap. Maroon 5 is a very accurate example. Their latest record was just them trying to sound like the new cool stuff. And no, it was an awful album. They were best when they were doing music their way, not everyone else's way.

    That's what I'm trying to get to with Disney. Yes, Disney works with PIXAR and PIXAR is CGI animation and PIXAR is fabulous (not recently, but they've been great in the past), but I think Disney is thinking that CGI is the only way to go anymore, and hand-drawn, traditional animation is dead and should no longer be done for films. Recently they let go of a lot of amazing animators just because they didn't have the ability to do full CGI animation. Those animators probably should've learned, but hand-drawn animation honestly takes more talent than CGI and it's what started the whole animation business in the first place. So to fire a lot of really talented people from Disney just because they can't do CGI animation is just depressing.

    One of the greatest animators of Disney in current times is Glen Keane, and about a year ago he left Disney because he did not like the direction they were going. They have been begging him with a lot of money to come back, but he won't, because he doesn't like what they are doing.

    Yeah. There's all the Disney for now. I'm pretty sure I recall the title of this thread being "Xbox One". ;P

    Disney. Listen. No seriously, Disney. Hahaha no listen, hey Disney. Hey what if, no seriously listen, Disney what if you actually made something great again and you don't, like, ruin my childhood or destroy an epic classic of yours? That would be great.

    I think they are trying to gain a teen audience when honestly the (this is going to sound biased but I believe it to be the truth) smarter teens are the ones who enjoy Disney for its classics and its... magic. If they could continue that, then they are on a roll. But they seem to be trying too hard to make their stuff attractive to the "cool" teens out there.

    And I believe the coolest teenagers are the ones who don't turn down Disney just because they think it's so childish. So many teens I think just wanna see cooler things, like violence and whatever else seems to cool to teenagers (lots of things which I would hate to list because it's so depressing... since when was drinking before 21 cool?). Of course, this game just doesn't look "cool", period. I think this statement sorta goes toward Disney Channel as well, which is more directed toward "tweens", from what I've seen. Dog with a Blog (or is it Vlog? Idk). That show was one of those moments where I literally got so depressed I wanted to jump out a window. You ever get that feeling? Where something is so bad, that it's not even funny and you just want to either kill the people that created it or just kill yourself? No? Ok, sorry about that.

    I think this all sorta goes towards all the game systems of the 8th gen as well. They are trying too hard to direct these game systems toward adults and 50 year olds and stuff. You know what? Forget about that. A game system is for the gamer. Not for the hairy 50 year old guy who wants to watch ESPN. That guy can go to his actual TV and DVR and watch that. I want an Xbox for the games. Not for ESPN. I already have that.

    Ugh.

    Harmonix announced a new title for the Xbox One.

    A shame that it took 10 years for Frequency/Amplitude to get an HD remake.

    Someone explain to me how the **** this is Fantasia?

    Disney, I swear, you are completely killing yourself. You are slowly deepening the knife into your chest every single year.

    Not sure if this needs its own thread but here is the trailer for Sonic: Lost Worlds for those who haven't seen it yet:

    Sonic: Lost Worlds (Wii U)

    Personally I'm mixed but as with anything Sega shows off with Sonic you need to be cautious anyways.

    It screams high speed Mario Galaxy in presentation (and maybe some Sonic Xtreme if anybody remembers that canceled game). Which could be either a good or bad thing

    The new enemies look terrible though. Also terrible music in the trailer

    I'm liking it so far. The one thing I'm a bit surprised about is the graphics seem to be a downgrade from previous games. I honestly don't care all that much about graphics, though.

    Also, the music isn't even Sonic. That's the instrumental of "Cinema" by Benny Benassi. :D
