I have to say Enslaved is definitely a breath of fresh air. It's probably one of (if not the most) beautiful post-apocalyptic stories I've seen. The ending totally blew my mind.
Yeah, it is a bit short, but I would rather a short game of concentrated awesomeness than a long game that's totally diluted.
Complain about the price all you want; Nintendo knows you'll buy it. Personally I think it's a good price point. This is, after all, the first mainstream glassless 3D system. Imagine how much it would cost if this were in Sony's hands? The PSPGo cost $50 more than the regular PSP and had less features.
Man, lists like this make me wish I had jumped on the PSX bandwagon, but I was waaaay to stuck on my N64 to even consider doing so. My friend had a PSX, though, so I wasn't completely out of the loop. Same thing happened with the PS2; I was too stuck on my GameCube and missed out on the "Greatest Console of All Time" until my then-girlfriend bought one shortly before the PS3 came out. Finally I broke the habit; ditched my Wii and bought a PS3
"You don't have an inferiority complex, you're just inferior." X3 @TFUPrivateIron I agree with you in regards to third-party developers, but Nintendo's games have always looked sharp on the Wii
I agree, I don't think 3D gaming is feasable until the next gen. I work at an electronics store and we (unfortunately) have a 3D TV on display and whenever someone tries it out they're like "Oh, that's pretty cool". Needless to say, they aren't flying off the shelves. I always tell them to wait a few more years, cause then they'll be cheaper and you won't need any friggin $250 glasses (sold seperately, of course) in order for it to work. I think if anyone's made progress with 3D gaming it's Nintendo: starting small AND not needing glasses. Meanwhile Sony says Nintendo shouldn't bash needing glasses for 3D, even though we've needed them since 3D movies started in the 50's. To quote Shuhei Yoshida: "With the latest technology, the glasses are light and you kind of forget you're wearing them after awhile." Not really; if anything, like David said, you forget you're watching 3D after a while.
I know this is probably never going to happen, but I'd like to see a battle system akin to Chrono Trigger instead of the same old turn-based battle system. Imagine getting into a battle and not having some flashy transition screen, your trainer just tosses the pokeballs out and the battle starts, keeping the same overhead perspective. In terms of story, I think playing as a character with some semblance of personality would be refreshing. The closest thing we've gotten to a majore story overhaul was Pokemon Colloseum. And make Team Rocket (or whatever iteration) actually threatening. What if your charaacter gets captured by Team Rocket and you have to battle your way out of a base, rescuing trainers and Pokemon as you go? I'm not asking that they burn your home town to the ground and you cry out for vengance over the body of your dead mother, but at least make them seem threatening and not just an obstacle on your way to the next gym.
The new Nintendo system would have to do more than HD in order to garner my attention. What Nintendo needs to do is bring back some sort of Seal of Quality, or at least a way to drastically reduce all the shovelware on the system, and then make motion control OPTIONAL for most games (similar to how the PS3 will handle Move... hopefully). The new system should have a standard controller as well as a motion-controller. HD is a no-brainer by now. And for goodness sake come up with a better name than 'Wii' recaptcha: tarzan could
I just facepalmed.
