Devyn Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Summary: Scalping is wrong but nobody gives a crap, people who want games should wait several months past the release date, OCR is full of people who need to take courses in economics and government, I am a communist, if the Wii U is priced at 300 I need to actually save 600 (or wait three months), and none of this crap even matters because it's just a forum and I've already stated my opinion and nobody is going to agree with me anyway because we live in a society focused on money and void of anything that can't be sucked up and shat out in fifteen seconds or less. Fuck it. Have a good night people. Edit: Oh look it's Edgecrusher, douche number 1. I almost quit listening to fear factory because of your username. Just something I thought I would let you know.

The Damned Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Considering that must of the sales of the Wii during the shortage were retail, and thus not "scalping", I fail to see how this is such a terrible thing. No one makes you buy anything except yourself. You're just pissed because you couldn't get a video game system when you wanted one. Your points may have been valid, but it's ruined because you're coming off as an entitled whiner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) I shouldn't have to wait because someone can't make money honestly. What's dishonest about selling your own property online for an inflated price? It's not like you're attaching a hidden service charge into a legally binding contract. if the Wii U is priced at 300 I need to actually save 600 (or wait three months), Or you could just get the system when it comes out at regular price. It doesn't take a ninja to do it. My brother went to Target a few hours before the Wii came out, and he had no problem picking one up. Or you could, you know, preorder the damn thing.

Tensei Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 if nekofrog can get his grubby hands on enough consoles to make a $1500 profit, you must be doing something wrong if you can't even get one, just sayin. I had no problems getting mine early either. Silly tangent aside, I'd like to reiterate that I don't think it's very likely at all that we'll get a repeat of the Wii shortage when the Wii U launches.

DarkeSword Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hey let's talk about the Wii U instead of talking about scalping. I think this console is tailor made for a new Pokémon Snap game. That's something I'd like to see; the original Pokémon Snap is one of the best N64 games ever, and with the controller you could do some really cool stuff.

Bleck Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Pokemon Snap is an incredibly underrated game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 A new pokemon snap with more advanced camera options and maybe the ability to outfit your on-rail cart would be pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Pokemon Snap really had no business being as enjoyable as it turned out to be (I mean, come on, "Pokemon Spinoff game based around photography" doesn't exactly scream game of the year). I think it's basically the perfect rental game, because despite the short length it was graphically pretty impressive for the time, and the gameplay was tons of fun. I would love to see it return on Wii U. On a similar note, Fatal Frame would be great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Wii U was designed with hentai dress up games in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambinate Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 i would play the shit out of a new pokemon snap game. i have very fond memories of chasing mew around a cloud and throwing little pellet things at every pokemon i saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I have a terrible confession to make. I, The Damned, big Pokémon fan, doer of all things Pokémon-related, he who did many Pokémon things here and elsewhere, known to be a follower of all Pokémon stuff and things... Have never played Pokémon Snap. DON'T LOOK AT ME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 wow, even i have played pokemon snap on an original n64 even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I just like the core RPGs more than the spin-offs! I've played the Ranger and Dungeon games a bit, but I never really got into them very much. And while I had an N64, I didn't own a lot of games for it, and none of the local video stores rented game back then, so I never got to try it. Oh god, they're going to make me hand in my membership card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkspast Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 they should just make an SNES2. A paddle with a D-pad, 2 trigger buttons Start/select and ABXY... also If WiiU gets as much hype as the Wii Im totally going to get extras to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Wii U is just gonna collect dust like the Wii did... the novelty of the thing won't be enough to save it from what will undoubtedly be subpar third-party support and shovelware, again. If you gotta buy one early and pay a scalper, then that's your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I don't know... I got my Wii at launch (it was also the first time I lined up for a pre-order... surprisingly warm for a Canadian autumn) and we did play the fuck out of it once we got it back to my friend's house. Creating Miis, trying out Wii Sports, playing Twilight Princess... But after winter was over, and I had played all the games I got, I didn't really want to play it much. Even with Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, I just couldn't get back into playing it. Meanwhile, my DS saw so much use I'm starting to have problems wit the L button contacting correctly. So it's not just me getting tired of playing games. it really is the Wii. There just wasn't enough to keep my interest in it. I suppose I should see if there's an update for it. It has been several months since I used it last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Damned Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 OK, just ignore the acting. Look at the Nintablet being used to control aerial drones and plotting waypoints for your teammates. That is how you should be using a tablet for a console. You can still use it to shoot and run around, but when you need to, you an get building layouts and track your teammates as they spread out.

ocre Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 On a similar note, Fatal Frame would be great as well. I read about an innovative use for the Wii U controller where you can use the controller as a "window" into the game world outside of the bounds of the tv screen. I think it would be pretty awesome for a horror game to utilize that feature so you can look around your living room and see a monster or something. Also, Wii U Zelda can use it as a new Lens of Truth for looking at hidden stuff on screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensei Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 What's so funny about that? It's hard to deny that Nintendo is the most innovative of the three companies in terms of console design. If this is about a lack of new franchises, remind me again of how many first-party franchises Microsoft and Sony have launched in recent years. Stuff like Uncharted, Gears of War and God of War are all third party titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Console is innovative for about two minutes. Then you just look like an idiot playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
