Patent documents are more a proof-of concept. The WiiU Gamepad even had changes not long after it was first revealed (certain button locations, proper joysticks vs. 3ds-style sliders). I’m definitely thinking Nintendo has been protective of system specs for this reason and hasn’t finalized design yet. Of course,…

It’s actually a little more than Ep 7 for this one. There will be an epilogue to Return of the Jedi included that covers some characters and planets that TT was allowed to include in the new official cannon.

Oh man, after replaying Yellow last week, some of the exits/alternate routes (like on the S.S. Anne) aren’t even close to being marked properly. And its been a decade since I’ve played and I’ve beaten the OG games plenty of times! Gettin old man...

Remember Nintendo has been the only company to do full backwards-compatibility their last 3 consoles. Not saying NX will have it, but if they plop for the WiiU, maybe the games and accessories could carry over too (fingers-crossed).

These guys do CIB repros and hacks. Pricey but awesome.

I... just learned a lot. Thanks! (and I’m being legit here, had no idea about the low output power).

Oh I fiddled with the settings like a madman (and it was in a basement at the time). I’m thinking it was mostly the TV, but it was just plain dark. Still loved the heck out of it (what I could see).

The one I was using (at the time) was fairly old, but I never had to futz with the contrast and brightness like that before. Still one of my favorite versions.

Those lighting effects make a world of difference. I don’t remember if it was my TV at the time, but the game was so dark in spots, it was almost unplayable.

I think its more in-line with whether or not things can get away without being spoiled anymore. Last year had some pretty awesome bombs dropped at E3, so who knows?

Heayahhhhh!

I’ve got a feeling given their track record of secrecy, their hardware specs have something to do directly with whatever gameplay gimmick they have up their sleeve (which as the potential patents have shown, something like a screened controller, etc.)

Totally agree. I just wish they’d drop some specs for devs to begin to look at what they could develop for it. The company that did Ori and the Blind Forest tweeted today that he has interest and simply wants to know what he can build for it.

Failing is a strong word. They’ve got over $4 billion in the bank as I write this, and Amiibo is still printing money. We may measure success differently, but there’s no denying they will be fine for the next decade or so.

Enjoy FE brother! Getting mine in 20 minutes...

Haha. I say 2nd best, as there are plenty of games (and dear lord I want Star Fox to be decent at least) that entered development hell just to be released as turds.

Look at recent trends too: Battlefront, Rainbow Six Siege, etc. I suppose at least Capcom told us the updates would be free, but I’m sticking to 1st party Sony and Nintendo games at launch from now on...

2nd-best gaming quote ever

Disappointing they focused on visuals and not, you know, the dozen or so missions I can’t complete due to glitches. (I know 1.3 addressed more than the draw visuals, but come on).

That’s why I was glad to see Broken Rules offered to help Fox at least. I figure from a pure business perspective, it would be a good fit (and Amiibo support being a huge plus). Of course, I’m getting way ahead of myself here.
