Locker Room Zubaz posted:If nintendo does what square does now they will make a killing porting old JRPGs to iOS. The World Ends With You is like $20 and it was in the top grossing apps section for a few months which means they were making a few million a week. One of the things they said in the announcement was that they weren't going to be doing ports of established stuff to mobile platforms because control schemes for full-sized console games on a touchscreen will always be total dogshit and inappropriate.

That's dumb but i guess they don't have nearly as many turn based games as square does and those work well because you can stop playing at basically any point and you can change the menus from button presses to touch targets. A pikmin game would be pretty cool

Hobohemian posted:I thought Japan plays consoles almost exclusively and they hate PC games. Tomb Raider was the last game from a Japanese company, and I remember hearing they got all bitchy about it becasue it was way more successful than that final fantasy crap. Bethesda RPGs are pretty popular over there; they love designing mods based around the Adoring Fan.

Actually Japan hates consoles, and PC, and most gaming types unless it's mobile or handheld.

Strange Matter posted:That would only happen if Sony and Microsoft pulled out of the console business. Otherwise making a conventional console is not an option, especially given that the conventional console market in Japan has evaporated, which is their primary concern. Then they should stop trying to sell to a dead market and focus on the western consumers.

I'm playing Super Mario World on my phone right now with touchscreen controls and the emulator was completely free. It even has superscope with touch controls. Nintendo just seems way too late to the party to make money in the android market.

Lol you really don't live near any major subway lines do you? People do weirder poo poo every single day on every single line. This sketch is like a 10% exaggeration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNkxEAvAfgE Unless you get on with someone you know, on the broadest possible level no one wants to talk to/acknowledge loving anyone else on the subway and anyone who does is considered a nuisance. As long as he's got headphones and/or is on mute I guaran-loving-tee no one cares except maybe nosy busybodies. Now should he just read a book or use a 3DS instead of dragging a loving Wiimote with him? Oh hell yeah, but on the subway that barely even cracks top 20 in terms of "omg look at that weirdo."
