Bright Eclipse: Nintendo's Next Revolution
E3 2011 is OVER. The secrets are out (well, most of them anyway), and the results are in: Nintendo won. To some, not by much; and to others, by leaps and bounds – but the general consensus is that Nintendo won.
While they tried, Sony and Microsoft’s showing at E3 was a tad underwhelming, leaving it to Nintendo to satisfy the appetites of ravenous gamers. The Big N brought in a live orchestra to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, gave the 3DS something to live for, and proved that Project Cafe wasn’t a coffee maker.
But was Nintendo’s new bag of tricks enough to kickstart its next revolution? In this follow up to last weeks “Hopes & Dreams: Nintendo is About to Make History,” we’ll look into whether or not Nintendo’s latest offering is destined for the history books, or, something else.
As promised, Wii U made it’s E3 debut during Nintendo’s press conference, to seemingly mixed reactions. Naturally, fans cheered when Nintendo lifted the veil on Project Cafe, revealing its official name, but you couldn’t help but notice the tad lack of enthusiasm, likely due to those hoping Nintendo would push aside its Wii antics and move on to a more hardcore friendly name.
Of course, anyone with half a brain should know that simply doing away with the hugely successful Wii brand, at such an early stage, would be a bad business move on Nintendo’s part — because let’s face it – every major company’s main objective is to bring in revenue, and Wii delivered truckloads. Hence the cliche saying, “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it,” and if I might add, “build on it, and make it better.”
Console names are great, but they alone do not drive sales – for Nintendo, that area of expertise belongs to its games, and the way you control them. Enter Wii U’s controller.
As he did with the name, Reggie Fils-Aime introduced its controller, to better applause. As some rumors had suggested, the controller did in fact have a screen in it — a 6.2 inch LCD touch screen, to be exact. Additionally, Wii U features a d-pad, four face buttons, four shoulder triggers, two analog sliders, a power button and a camera.
In the first “Hopes & Dreams,” I proposed:
So, is the system that we now know as Wii U capable of such abilities? Or, am I overshooting it just a bit? Similar to the system I used in part one, let’s connect the dots a bit, using mostly the info provided to us by Nintendo. And maybe, a wee bit of speculation.
Super Puzzle Fighter Ii Turbo - News
It turns out that Nintendogs + Cats and Pilotwings Resort weren't enough to keep the system a hot seller, and even the spectacular Super Street Fighter IV couldn't carry the system. The problem was this: The gang was missing. That's right.

My Mother Vs Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo | Gaming Lives
When I was a child, videogames were very much the pastime of the child; my friend Wayne and I would spend hours playing Bubble Bobble on the NES with a level of skill I’d never be able to recreate now. We’d swap tapes loaded with ZX Spectrum games on the playground blissfully unaware that we were contributing to the eventual evolution of DRM. The only times I would ever see an adult play a game was my father playing Snooker on the ZX Spectrum 48k and later games like Jimmy White’s Whirlwind Snooker and Archer Maclean’s Pool on the Amiga 500. My friends parents didn’t game, my teachers didn’t game and my mother didn’t game.
What my mother did like to do was comment on my gaming. The music, when it was there, was repetitive. She couldn’t make out what we were doing, and when she could it seemed pointless or wrong. Her comments on my driving in the Batman: The Movie game have always been a source of my fear of learning to drive: “I’m never getting in a car you’re driving” she’d say. I tried to explain that the Batmobile was a little trickier to drive than the average Ford Escort but that didn’t fly with her.
My gaming experiences as a child were confined mostly to the Spectrum, Amiga and various Game And Watch LCDs as My family never had the money for the flashy consoles of the day and if I wanted to play Kid Chameleon I’d have to do it around a friends’ house. That was OK though because they’d come around mine to play Magic Kingdom Dizzy, then that Dizzy whore turned up on the Mega Drive and I again yearned for a real console.
When I was thirteen and my brother was eleven my parents got divorced. I should have seen it coming but apparently we were both oblivious to the problems at home, probably because over the past year I had received a Gameboy, my brother a Game Gear, and we shared a Mega Drive. Honestly, there could have been a fire and we wouldn’t have noticed. The following couple of years weren’t always the happiest of times in our household but we got on. We’d visit our dad and have good times watching movies whilst eating chips from the local chippy, while at home we’d hog the tv to play Revenge of Shinobi. My mother didn’t mind, unless it got in the way of Coronation Street or The Generation Game, but one thing that always remained was that she didn’t “get” videogames.
When I was fifteen we all moved to live at our nan’s and a few years after that we had a place of our own again; around this time I received a console as a present that would eventually allow myself and my mother to bond over videogames. That console was the grey slab of nightclub culture known as the Playstation One, or at least the “One” would be added later as it was still just Playstation at the time. It was a futuristic piece of kit for the day; I had seen CD Drive consoles before, a memory of playing an Amiga CD-32 is a strong one that still haunts me to this day, but no CD based console had forced its way into my home with more bravado than this one. When I got it I had Wipeout, Demolition Derby, Tekken and Twisted Metal World Tour which my mum thought were all loud, ugly and violent and, in retrospect, that was possibly the most accurate description of the early PSOne era anyone could have stated.
