Satoru Iwata, Shigeru Miyamoto, and other employees have discussed the future of HD for Nintendo.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
Rare has had an astonishing journey since being founded in 1985. But of the 125 titles released to date, which are the 7 best Rare games?
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
"Won’t HD be better for the games like Pikmin?"
Yes!
Eventually, Nintendo will have no choice but to go to HD. Even if there is some software that doesn't really need it, like Wii Fit, there will always be software that does need it. Picture Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Starfox, and Metroid in full 1080p HD!
so what did he actually say
What stuck out to me was that they said that certain games were suited for HD (pikmin) while others are suited for SD (WiiFit). Either Nintendo is going to push both Wii and WiiHD at the same time or the WiiHD console will be fully B/C to give devs the freedom to create SD games and HD titles.
That would be a win win if they go that route (fully B/C), because 3rd parties that want to push HD technology can do so, or if smaller devs wanted to still make SD titles they have the freedom too. Nintendo should definitely go this route with WiiHD but I think it should be able to read BD-Roms, DVDs (Wii games),and Optical roms (GcN).
I think Nintendo have realised that what they had/have with the Wii is a once in a lifetime occurence - a freak result, if you will. With rumblings from loyal Nintendonites(?) that the focus of Nintendo seems to be more and more on casual titles, and that throwing loyal fans a "bone" every year with a new Mario, Zelda, etc., isn't good enough, the company is realising that they have to at least entertain the idea of having multi-platform titles as the Gamecube did in the XBOX/PS2 days.
This will only be possible if the hardware can cope and sadly the Wii can't at the moment. I for one DO hope the next Nintendo console is on par (or at least very close) to the next iterations of Microsoft's and Sony's home consoles. Note, I'm not necessarily saying "GO FULL HD" because we all know that HD doesn't make a brilliant game BUT having the capability under the "hood" of a new Nintendo console means that at least the possibility is there to not only churn out the casual-ware of this gen, AND also introduce new IP's that could compete with Gears of War, Uncharted, etc,. THAT would be amazing for us gamers!
