PLAYERESSENCE : Koji Igarashi Wants to work with Nintendo on Metroid......Nintendo PLEASE CONTRACT HIM!

Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:45:51 +0000

Francis, I may have mentioned this before, but I have a sister who works for Nintendo of America. Every other week or so there is a report that goes in from the field reps to Higher ups. Reggie gets those reports and looks them over himself, and, since they are from the reps directly, he definitely views them and takes them seriously. Previously, I alerted her to tell Reggie and other higher ups about Playeressence.com, and she did so successfully. Just yesterday, I showed this article to her and she included it as a link in her report. So, at the very least, some of the highest people at NOA will see this. Let's hope something transpires from it.

Hey Francis, I have some news for you that you might find interesting. My sister just started working for Nintendo as a field consultant (there are only ten of those in the western United States). Anyway, she's currently doing training in Redmond Washington, roughly thirty miles outside of Seattle, and she mentioned your website to the head of Nintendo's PR team. I'm serious dude, this isn't a joke. The rep said he would check out your website and see what you had to offer. My sister explained that you are Nintendo friendly without being overly biased or negative. I hope you hear something soon, and who knows, maybe this will help promote your "Playeressence" brand more. I don't know if you know this, but rubix8703 is another sister of mine (I have 6 sisters... I know, I know you don't even have to say anything lol, it's rough growing up with a bunch of women), she's the one that told me about your site, and I haven't turned back since then. I promote it whenever I can, especially with me working for Samsung, and being in the public sector. I think you're doing a great job, and let's hope this year is your biggest one yet. Oh yeah, and one more thing *ahem* WHO THE HELL IS HYPED FOR THE DIRECT TOMORROW??????!!!!! Anyway dude I just wanted you to know, and here's hoping for the best. Rock on Francis!

PLAYERESSENCE : New Development Studio AE Games Slams Ubisoft, EA, and Other 3rd Parties over Treatment of the Wii U

Tue, 11 Feb 2014 08:04:20 +0000

AE Games.... Quite literally the opposite of EA games in both policy and name. I like it, whether its a coincidence or not! I eagerly anticipate the reveal of their first game on Friday. With all the Indie devs on the Wii U, plus the first party content that is coming out this year, this will be an INCREDIBLE year for the Wii U fans! Anyone failing to relish in all that we have in store will be in for quite a loss when the portfolio at the end of this year is presented in its entirety. Congrats on your studio AE Games! I wish you success in your ventures.

PLAYERESSENCE : Funky Kong runs the item Shop in Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

Thu, 19 Dec 2013 23:44:13 +0000

Funky use to run the Vehicle shop back in the original DKC, so its cool to see him back in the game running a shop again. Very old school feel. Can't wait for this game to be released! This game's release will mark the start of an incredible lineup of games to come. If 2013 was the Year of Luigi, than, with all the things to come, 2014 will be the Year of the Wii U. And it'll be interesting to see how all the negative journalism will try to cover themselves when that happens. Different console, same story for Nintendo. The 3DS is the perfect example of this phenomenon happening in recent years. With all on the horizon, it sure is great to be a Wii U owner!

PLAYERESSENCE : Metroid & Deus Ex Inspired game ReVeN Planned for Wii U

Mon, 16 Dec 2013 20:54:43 +0000

Thank you for coming here and providing reassurance/feedback on the comments being made thus far. I look forward to seeing the game progress in development and differentiating itself as a familiarly unique experience. Although it's in the alpha stage, it looks like things are moving along nicely based on the videos you've posted. I anticipate the official trailer of ReVeN and will be watching for how things shape and develop over time. Again, thank you for visiting the Playeressence Community.

PLAYERESSENCE : Zelda Wii U - Seamless Open World, Controls, Non-Linear Structure, Art Style, E3 2014 Reveal!

Okay... I'm psyched!

PLAYERESSENCE : Nintendo's Digital Business is Absolutely Soaring

Thu, 31 Oct 2013 23:08:09 +0000

There are PLENTY of other doom and gloom sites on the internet that refuse to even acknowledge anything positive that Nintendo does. Take your pessimistic crap to one of those other places. Francis posts news, whether good or bad. Just because he isn't narrow-mindedly post only negative news, you feel the need to come on here and try and attack his merit!? Open your eyes and actually READ something before you post something this blindly stupid. Oh, and to address your foolishness about Francis only posting positive news about Nintendo, try this: http://playeressence.com/iwata-unhappy-nintendos-... Oh, and the whole "just force a bunch of memory down someone's throat and unnecessarily inflate the prices" model that most others have adopted is stupid. Expanding as you need for much cheaper sounds better than spending far more for a base model and overspending for memory. It's 2013! A Terabyte is $30-50 dollars! Tiered base models cost $100-250 dollars more for far less memory! Why should we have to overspend for memory when Nintendo has clearly presented a far better solution? It just doesn't make any sense! Baseless attacks will get you nowhere.

PLAYERESSENCE : Nintendo's Q2 Financial Reports: 300K Wii U's sold, 3DS Sales Break past 35 Million

Wed, 30 Oct 2013 19:20:46 +0000

If you honestly believe that the 3DS sales are going to be down after the release of Pokemon X and Y, then, with all due respect, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You being "more than sure" that the numbers will be down next quarter confirms that you lost all credibility regarding predictions. I'm not one to post these kinds of comments, but what you just said was incredibly pessimistic and couldn't be further from the truth. Foolishness, oh la la. Foolishness.

PLAYERESSENCE : Shin'en is set to Reveal Their new Wii U game "in days"

Mon, 21 Oct 2013 19:49:33 +0000

I absolutely CANNOT wait to see what they have been working on! From the way they described what they've been doing, this could be a game that potentially gathers the same kind of anticipation as Monolith's X. And the initial trailer could be days away!? Yes, PLEASE! It is definitely an exciting time to be a Wii U owner with the way things are lining up for the next year or so!

PLAYERESSENCE : The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker HD - Full list of Improvements

Thu, 3 Oct 2013 22:22:14 +0000

This game has received a vast amount of improvements. Rather than changing a few scenes to HD, the whole thing has been redone visually, with an improvement to gameplay elements to go along with it as well. Some of the changes are minor and some are tremendous (See original triforce chart quest for example). All in all, this is the right way to do an HD remake. Can't wait to pick it up physically tomorrow!

PLAYERESSENCE : Nintendo Showcasing a Bunch of Indie Games at IndieCade

Thu, 3 Oct 2013 21:27:58 +0000

I appreciate how Nintendo has been making it a point to continue to strengthen their ties with indie developers. Some of the indie games that are going to be released in the future are of a much better build quality than some of these so called "hardcore AAA titles". They actually care about making games that are fun to play rather than attempting to find the quickest way to dupe people into spending money on games that are more like interactive movies with shallow gameplay elements. While i'm on the topic of indie games, I absolutely CANNOT WAIT for Shovel Knight! Something about It reminds me of an absolutely amazing RPG from long ago called The Illusion Of Gaia on the SNES. So I've been waiting on more details on that since I first found out it was being made. I eagerly anticipate It's release.

PLAYERESSENCE : Surprise! Intelligent Systems is Working on Wii U Games

Sun, 29 Sep 2013 23:38:52 +0000

With everything that is coming in 2014 to the Wii U, this announcement just makes things that much better. There are so many unannounced titles that we have to look forward to, including, but not limited to, the Shin'en title that is coming, more details on Monolith's X, whatever Mistwalker could be potentially be working on, any potential Monster Hunter game that could be coming, and, of course, the unannounced Zelda Wii U title. We may not get all of these things in 2014, but it sure makes the horizon line for Nintendo look REALLY bright. It is a great time to be a Wii U owner with content like this coming.

PLAYERESSENCE : Microsoft watching what Valve does with Steam Machines, SteamOS, with “great interest”

Thu, 26 Sep 2013 19:23:08 +0000

Xbone seriously needs to give a great reason why people should buy it as a console. If people get wind of the fact that most of the games that Xbone will get will be on a (probably/potentially) cheaper box without Micro$oft antics and without priced online, the people may respond in a way that Micro$oft isn't ready to adapt to. This may force their hand and cause them to make the Xbone more appealing to those who would choose to opt out of getting the Xbone for the Steambox. Micro$oft may very well have good reason to watch Valve with "Great Interest". And, by "Great Interest" they mean "Great Fear" and they know it.

PLAYERESSENCE : Playeressence Review: The Wonderful 101 - Wonderfully Awesome

Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:39:09 +0000

I can't even begin to explain how stupid you are... Francis EXPLAINED why he gave the score, unlike the other brainwashed idiots online who hand out scores based on following the crowd and obvious bias. Take your ignorance to one of those other stupid sites because you're not welcome here with crap like this. Francis does a phenomenal job with this site, and the last thing we need here is foolishness that pollutes all those other places.
