XboxPants posted:Apparently Wii U has been a pretty good platform for indies as well, and that's great, but that's a ~$300 system. It also doesn't have the built-in library of a 360, or even Wii. Wii U plays Wii games (including VC titles) and uses Wii controllers. Are you just fabricating and hoping we won't notice now?

Haraksha posted:Just imagine how different the tone of this thread would be if the Kickstarter had said, "We see Android as a viable gaming platform, but feel that the hardware is too fragmented to know where a good point of entry is. We want to create a dedicated Android console with high end, but affordable, specs that developers can use as a benchmark in indie gaming." Sticking to the Play store would have helped too.

Comes from this post earlier.XboxPants posted:Special Note: I made this post with the voice to text on my android phone, which tragically doesn't seem to recognize the word "OUYA". So, in the spirit of this thread, I just used whatever my phone thought I was trying to say, and capitalized it in magical "OUYA" fashion.

bucketmouse posted:Pretty sure this was because Gunpei Yokoi was messing around with it as a prototype when he died and Nintendo just grabbed it out of his department and ran with it. VB was released while Yokoi was still around. Its failure drove him out of Nintendo and to his incredibly unlucky demise.

DoctorStrangelove posted:Reading all the poo poo about Visorman, all the selling points are things that the game doesn't have. NO IRONSIGHTS! NO TWO STICK CONTROL! NO ONLINE MUTLIPLAYER! It's almost as if the game doesn't have anything appealing so the guys marketing it are talking about the things it doesn't have and then acting like those things are unappealing. Disciples of the School of Uhrman.

raditts posted:Does it still count as a controller if it barely corresponds to what's on screen and crumbles in your hands when you try to use it, though? The Bluetooth device that comes with the KSHATRIYA is really more of a "suggester" than a "controller."

XboxPants posted:I think the issue is that if you review something early, and that causes your review to misrepresent the product that people end up getting, that's a problem. And that's not just a pro-OUYA argument. It's completely possible that OUYA could totally collapse and the servers would be offline two months from now. If someone read that review and decided to buy an OUYA, only to find out that they couldn't actually get any games on it, that's pretty hosed up. By the same principle, the issue that OUYA fanboys bring up about possible improvements to the software and library holds some water, as well. Tell us all about journalistic integrity, please. Without somebody actually getting up on their hind legs and And God knows we can't have that happen.

Aweful Dreams posted:Eh, I'm not sure I'd go that far Nice way to get the same "got your money, fuckers!" deal you can get from Kickstarter. That's actually pretty scummy. If it's "preparing to ship" for more than a few days, will Amazon slap the merchant if you ask?

GameStick is definitely better at communicating with their customers, but they've already jerked customers around in a minor way (well, me at least). I preordered a GameStick, and they told Amazon (their merchant) that the device was preparing to ship so that the order cannot be canceled. I don't want to cancel it, but because they did that I couldn't if I wanted to.

Bruceski posted:That's actually rather clever. I have no idea the pros/cons of doing it in this case, but if I ever do any of my own crafted stuff I'll keep it in mind should a panel need to be removed often and I don't want to find a screwdriver every time. Magnets work OK if it's not a panel you expect to have a lot of sliding friction on or that doesn't have an edge that is likely to get pried up. Screws and snaps are frankly a much better solution for a game controller which always has the first and probably has the second.

What Fun posted:If anyone's looking for something to do, reddit has a thread in its main Games forum about the new Ouya (lack of) sales numbers. A lot of people who aren't familiar with the debacle are asking questions about it, and it seems like many would be receptive to the non-fanboy version of events. For example, I already see people being told the controllers "aren't that bad" and were "fixed at launch". It's overwhelming to me, but I think if someone made a few real posts it might save some poor sap who isn't subscribed to r/ouya from thinking the system is anything other then a flaming wreck. They're posting on reddit so they're already beyond redemption. Plus that sounds an awful lot like an invasion.
