Nintendo Thread: Nintendo Direct Mini 03/26/2020

Been playing DKC: Tropical Freeze the last two days, best Wii U game available imo  I can't wait for Bayonetta 2 and Smash Bros.

edit: been on that Super Mario World too

Tropical freeze is hard has hell! Be having me frustrated at the crib.

My biggest gripe is using the gamepad, joint is too big. Not a real big fan of the pro controller either. I hope we can eventually use the GameCube controller with the adapter, I been both you can as well as you can't.

New Smash Bros Nintendo Direct coming this Thursday the 23rd that will focus of things that are not in the 3ds version.

The stream will be broadcasted at 6PM EST/3PM PST on Nintendo's Twitch and Youtube channels.

Are all of the Wii's online functions now disabled? I know you can't play online anymore but I can't even connect via Wi-Fi. I was going to buy a bunch of old school games on it. I bought a few on my son's Wii U but the VC library is limited (kind of odd to me that it doesn't have the same VC library that the Wii has

).

Does Nintendo have any plans to bring any SNES games to the 3DS VC library. I would love to play Super Mario RPG on the go. I been watching people stream it on Twitch and it got me feeling all nostalgic

I kept getting an error code and then I noticed that Wii and Wii U both do not support ethernet

 The Wii was somewhat understandable but the Wii U not having a port was kind of disappointing

 I just figured since my Wii is collecting dust, I could use it for my retro fix.

U have to get a Ethernet port adapter
I got one at bestbuy.com for like 6.99
It's called rocket or rocketfish
Can't remember but rocket is in the title of the brand name
It works for Wii and Wii u
The official Nintendo costs a trip so check bestbuy.com for that brand

 

[nawghtyhare]

Actually seems not to be in the website anymore
But they have other brands seems like
The Wii u wifi isn't reliable for me
But the Ethernet port is clutch
Specially for when smash comes out

 

[Ricky D]

Damn now I remember seeing these things back in the day but I had no idea what they were for nor did I care

 Good looking, I can't be getting smacked up online in Smash cause of a trash connection

 

[souljaman22]

[h1]Nintendo looks outside Japan for next system's leadership[/h1][h2]by Connor Sheridan|October 22, 2014[/h2]
Nintendo is looking to hire a lead graphics architect for its Washington-based Nintendo Technology Development office. Of course, the fact that Nintendo is hiring up for "future gaming platforms" isn't much of a surprise (it has been doing so for thirty years, why stop now?) but where and who it's recruiting offers some rare insight into the company's shifting priorities.

The architect will do all sorts of, y'know, technical stuff, but the job listing reveals at least one exciting tidbit for people who are more eager to play Nintendo's next console than design it: the position will "act as the graphics architectural evangelist working with global Nintendo teams for future and on-going programs".

Nintendo Technology Development was established in 1996, and it has contributed to many products since then, including the Wii U GamePad's wireless systems. That said, Nintendo Integrated Research & Development in Kyoto has remained the unquestioned center of console creation efforts for as long as Nintendo's made stuff with Start and Select buttons.

But a "graphics architectural evangelist" responsible for guiding work with Nintendo's teams all around the world sounds like an entirely new level of contribution from beyond the ivory tower (and that's just the one position we know about). Nintendo may be taking a page from the PS4's design document.

Sony looked outside of its typical knowledge base when it selected Mark Cerny as architect for its latest system. He pushed for the company to create a platform that would appeal to developers (and by extension consumers) everywhere, not just in the company's home region of Japan. It's worked out pretty well so far.

Up until now, Nintendo of America and other satellite offices acted largely as localization and licensing centers, leaving most questions of direction to the monolithic Kyoto headquarters. Remember that tone-deaf Miiquality imbroglio? Yeah, that was one nasty culture-clashing side effect. As Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata admitted in January, he and the company have problems staying in touch with the demands of global consumers: “In Japan, I can be my own antenna, but abroad, that doesn’t work."

As Wii's success fades into history and mobile gaming eats more of its handheld lunch, the classic Nintendo response is to look for another ‘blue ocean’ to dive into where it needn't worry about direct competitors. Even as the company pursues weird-but-potentially-lucrative offshoots like Amiibo and whatever that Quality of Life platform is, it's good to see the big N's tech types branch out into some truly daring territory: the rest of the world.

Just let me know the date. Friday is good with me. Don't think I'm going to travel this weekend

 

[lamekilla]

I'm down for an MK8 tourney anytime this weekend.

As far as Nintendo's next console, they haven't led the graphics race since the mid 90's. It's time they come back with a console that is years ahead graphically. Focus more on home integration like what they've done with the Wii and Wii U and take a page out of Microsoft's book with the Xbox one guide controlling the television.

And for the love of everything holy can we finally get a DVD/Blu-Ray player

 

[suberzat1]

I feel Nintendo doesn't need graphic to keep their consumers happy. Look at Xenoblade. I would love better graphics but that doesn't draw me into the company like Microsoft and Sony has to.

See but Nintendo is proof that u don't need graphics for a game to be good
I feel that the other consoles rely on graphics to much
Nintendo to me provides unique experiences with their gameplay
Now if they do add that graphic factor
Other consoles may have to watch out
ANYBODY ever use the tv function on the gamepad??
What does it do I never even tried

 

[nawghtyhare]

Friday sounds cool with me
Y'all know a time
