[Let’s Talk] Have you ever been to a convention or expo?
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 7 Comments
Let’s Talk #27: Have you ever been to a convention or expo?
Last week, Comic-Con was held over in New York. That’s just one of several conventions/expos throughout the year. There’s obviously E3, though that one is admittedly difficult for most folks to get into. There’s also the San Diego Comic-Con earlier in the year, a couple of PAX shows, and IndieCade just to name a few. If we’re talking about conventions outside of the states, Gamescom, TGS, and Eurogamer Expo are some names that you guys may recognize.
So have any of you had the opportunity to attend a convention or expo? What was the experience like? Do you plan on attending anything in the future? Or maybe you’re just not interested in what’s out there at the moment? Sound off in the comments below!
Highlights from last week’s topic: What are you playing? – October 2015
Sean Patterson
I’m still playing Bayonetta 2 a lot, but lately I have also been playig Freedom Planet since it released. Great game!
Also been playing my old Sega Game Gear again for some reason… I enjoy the hell out of it though. Sonic Drift 2 is hard as heck.
SnowChillWolf
I have been playing Mega Man Battle Network 2, I am about halfway through the game. I am also playing Mega Man Legends on the Vita, but switched to the PS3 version because my hands was cramping. Moreover, I am playing Metroid Fusion on my AGS -101 Gameboy Advance SP.
Rwokkefeller
I’m currently playing through the newly released Persona 4: Dancing All Night. The story is actually deep and meaningful, and the game as a whole feels like an actual sequel to Persona 4, which I didn’t really feel from the Arena games.
On the Nintendo side, I’ve been slowly working on Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 and Senran Kagura 2, though I don’t know if I can break free from P4D long enough to dabble in these games again anytime soon XD
Final Fantasy XV director points to Zelda as a franchise he’d like to work on
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 85 Comments
In one of its issues earlier this month, Dengeki PlayStation spoke with a ton of recognized game creators ranging from Keiji Inafune to Tetsuya Nomura. This feature was published to celebrate the magazine’s 600th issue.
One of the developers Dengeki PlayStation reached out to was Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata. To start out with, Tabata was asked which company’s title he would like to work on as a member of their staff. Here’s how he responded:
“The Legend of Zelda series. I’m not quite sure why myself, but a Zelda game made with the technology and know-how of Final Fantasy XV is the game I wish to create as of this moment.”
Of course, you shouldn’t make too much of Tabata’s words – it was just a harmless comment after all! Still, it’s an interesting choice on his part. It almost makes you wonder what a Square Enix-made Zelda game would look like.

WSJ journalist comments a bit more on the power behind NX
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 66 Comments
The Wall Street Journal published an article about the NX on Friday, which was written by journalist Takashi Mochizuki. One of the items highlighted in the piece is that Nintendo’s new system features “industry-leading chips”.
Mochizuki has now shared just a tiny bit more on that statement based on sources he has spoken with. Here’s what he told NintenGen:
-Several people who said who have seen a demo said what they saw is impossible to run on a computer without a “industry-leading” or “cutting-edge” chips. Cutting-edge in what way, they refused to elaborate.
-And an important thing to remember, probably you know well already, is that chip specs won’t be finalized until much closer date to the release.
Mochizuki also tweeted out the following:
"Industry-leading" chip = more powerful than PS or Xbox? My answer is don't know. But that's how sources described: https://t.co/Kp6NpGSNrn
— Takashi Mochizuki (@mochi_wsj) October 17, 2015
I’m not too sure how much we can make of the early comments about NX’s chips, but I suppose it makes things a tad more interesting. We’ll see what comes of this all!

SmileBASIC in the works for Wii U, 3DS version getting DLC
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
SmileBoom finally brought out SmileBASIC on the North American 3DS eShop this past week. Interestingly, the company has now revealed that a Wii U version is in development.
SmileBASIC for Wii U (PetitCom BIG) will support all creations from the 3DS version. Cloud-based saving will be included, which lets users make games on Nintendo’s handheld, save to the cloud, and then retrieve them on Wii U. This will work the other way around as well.
New features are also included in the Wii U version. It will be possible to create games that support the GamePad or Wii Remote, off-TV play is supported, and USB keyboards will be compatible.
We’ll be seeing this new Wii U version in Japan this coming spring. The application will also head west at a later date.
This isn’t all of today’s news surrounding SmileBASIC. The 3DS version will be receiving “Advanced Sound Unit” DLC this year, which provides the following:
“Advanced Sound Unit” empowers SmileBASIC to process audio signal with various methods. “Advanced Sound Unit” allows you to process audio signal in real time coming from the MIC input. You can process the signal by analyzing with a FFT algorithm or with a BIQUAD filer and put it into the playback stream to output. In short, you are able to create your own software synthesizer or guitar effectors on your Nintendo 3DS system.
Finally, while it only applies to Japan, SmileBoom is teaming up with Bandai Namco. Graphics and sounds from Galaxian, Galaga, Xevious, Pac-Man, DigDug and Mappy will be sold to SmileBASIC users in Japan.

NES designer explains the front-loading slot, why the Zapper was bundled in
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
Masayuki Uemura, a lead designer of the Nintendo Entertainment System, held a presentation at New York University’s Game Center last night. Uemura shared a couple of interesting insights that I wanted to relay here.
First, the front-loading slot was implemented since VHS systems were popular in the mid-190s. The team wanted to make the NES to take on a somewhat similar appearance. Uemura also commented on why the Zapper was bundled in: because Americans loved guns, apparently!

Nintendo UK – Wii U has a “compelling line-up of games”, talk about delays and holiday lineup
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 23 Comments
In the latest issue of MCV, the publication features an interview with Nintendo UK marketing manager Chandra Nair.
Nair first talked about the Wii U by noting how it’s “a fantastic proposition for both families and gamers”. He also pointed out the system’s “compelling line-up of games” and growing list of “must-have titles”.
Nair said:
“Mario Kart 8 continues to be popular week-in, week-out, even after all this time. And Splatoon is still a relatively new title and something that kids have been pestering their parents for, so we anticipate that bringing these two fantastic games together in one value bundle should be a popular move.”

Report: NX dev kits going out, multiple devices, has “industry-leading chips”
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 263 Comments
Nintendo has started to distribute a software development kit for the new NX system to third-parties, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. The publication cited “people familiar with the matter” in its report. Nintendo could introduce NX “as early as next year.”
The Wall Street Journal also briefly touched on NX’s form. It isn’t absolutely certain what shape it will take, but the publication noted that “Nintendo would likely include both a console and at least one mobile unit that could either be used in conjunction with the console or taken on the road for separate use.” Additionally, the company apparently intends to include “industry-leading chips in the NX devices” following criticisms about the Wii U’s power and the console’s inability to stack up against the competition. All of that information is said to have come from those “familiar with the development plans”.
Finally, the Wall Street Journal’s article briefly touches on the NX’s release timing. Having spoken with analysts, there might be reason to believe that Nintendo will be looking to bring it out relatively quickly.
“We are increasingly of the idea that Nintendo might launch the NX in 2016 because of the softness of 3DS and Wii U,” analyst David Gibson told the Wall Street Journal.
We won’t be hearing or seeing NX – at least in any official capacity – until 2016.
