PLAYERESSENCE : Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo Team up Against DDoS Attacks

Fri, 6 Mar 2015 23:21:37 +0000

“I don’t think it’s great when PSN goes down. It doesn’t help me" Call me a horrible person, but I have a hard time believing that. I bet those Xbox execs were popping champagne and laughing it up heard when they heard their rival's online services got hacked. At least until they themselves also got attacked.

Greninja and Jigglypuff could just be for the Smash Bros. line, though.

How wonderful. This GamerGate controversy has essentially become a supermassive black hole at this point, and on both sides, too. Even if you so far as indirectly or inadvertently get roped up in the nonsense, you're still in trouble. Just ask JonTron. I swear, if this causes sales of the game to drop like a rock, I'm going to fucking flip.

I, too, would like to see Nintendo take a page out of Steam's book. eShop would be perfect if they did.

Oh, I thought they were suggesting "move entirely to mobile". Because unlike you, SEGA, your former rival company's got enough money in the bank to prevent that from happening.

Can't we just say that they're both good and be done with this? It's not the '90s anymore.

I see it more as, "we never knew people would actually WANT to buy a Wii Fit Trainer amiibo of all things!"

This is... quite a hassle. Especially for those who have to travel for at least an hour to get to the nearest GameStop.

PLAYERESSENCE : My Honest Opinion on Splatoon Lacking Voice Chat in Random Matches

Fri, 6 Feb 2015 01:20:47 +0000

What I'm about to say mirrors a lot of what Francis said, but I've got a few more cents to put in. Now, if it turns out that the game doesn't have voice chat (in any form), it's okay to be disappointed by the news. More power to ya. But angry? Throwing a tantrum and deliberately choosing to miss out on a potentially great game because of the absence of one inconsequential feature is such a petty and infantile course of action, especially when there is a darn good chance for any of the following: a) private voice chat (like in MK8 and SSBU) b) some alternate mode of communication when playing with anyone, like shouting to call your teammates over as in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon's multiplayer c) the game is so expertly designed that communication isn't necessary d) all of the above If Splatoon doesn't sell well because of this nonsense, people only have themselves to blame if Nintendo takes it as "no more new IPs, ever". Assuming the kvetchers are just a vocal minority, that is.

Usually, the people who cry the most about something as inconsequential as this are a vocal minority. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

"No communication with players you are matched with" Players you are matched with, they said. One could take this to mean communication only with friends or something.

This stuff usually happens whenever Gamingfan says something, and nobody attempts to ignore him or take his posts in stride. I'm not even joking here; this stuff is getting annoying as hell.

14. I count 14 upcoming Wii U titles on that list, and that's only first-party fare. And people still claim that this console is dead and buried.

This news might please you, Francis. http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-creators-p... "Nintendo has just announced the “Nintendo Creators Program”, a new opportunity for fans on YouTube to earn revenue. Users will be able to receive a part of the advertising proceeds for Nintendo-related YouTube videos by signing up on the official page."

It's also worth mentioning that the Wii U has quite the lion's share of games coming out in 2015, anyway.

PLAYERESSENCE : New Nintendo 3DS XL Won't Sell Well in the US? Umm... no

Fri, 16 Jan 2015 18:02:22 +0000

So it'd be stupid for someone to replace their old tattered 2011 Original 3DS with an improved model with extra features? It'd be stupid for someone to trade in their Original 3DS/XL at Gamestop and get an improved model for a lower price? Would it be stupid for people who were planning on getting an OG 3DS XL to get a New 3DS XL instead (which is currently running for the same exact price)? Come on, man.

I don't think we'll need to worry about SMTxFE. Yoshi's Woolly World was announced at the same time as that, disappeared for about a year, then showed up out of nowhere at E3 2014. Same thing could happen with SMTxFE.
