Nintendo to show 30 game titles for DS at E3.

[notAFanB]

Jeez, what's with the attitude from some of you N-fans

that's quitre enough outta you there... :?

I didn't know that system wasn't a portable, as I didn't pay much attention to it since it's only released in china. I don't even remember what it was called.

then why bring it up to support a point? look it has been released in China to (marginal) success but the backgrounds are a little different from a new generational HW release.

Also keep in mind that the GBA was exactly like a super nintendo, but there were plenty of games ported to it from the snes.

except that it wasn't really, unless you referring to the portathon that occured in which yeah they milking it alright.


PS: in case you haven't noticed already I am not an N-fan.

 

[I.S.T.]

Oh that's right. Thanks IST.

I remembered the Q but thought it was Rel-Q, but they are a software testing company.

NP.


I hope they don't do another GBA style port-a-thon with the DS. And if they do, at least enhance the games. Many GBA ports I've read reviews on didn't have any enhancements at all. Same game you bought 6 years ago kinda thing. Edit: I meant ports of non-Nintendo made games.

Excuse me? you can check your attitude at the door thanks.

then why bring it up to support a point?

Why bring up recent tech Nintendo was releasing? Why NOT bring it up?

except that it wasn't really, unless you referring to the portathon that occured in which yeah they milking it alright.

Actually I meant to say "wasn't" (typo) but a portathon as you called it is what I was reffering to.

PS: in case you haven't noticed already I am not an N-fan.

Really, then why the attitude? My first post didn't deserve reponses like that.

I assummed you knew the situation with the iQue and felt that comaprisons with future HW releases was unwarrented.

My apologies .

Yeah that was what made me hold off on the GBA for the first while (also the non-lit screen). All of the games I wanted were on the super nintendo, and I still had them (on emulators, but they were there). Then I went out and bought two games the legend of zelda and mario kart with them being the same as the snes versions. Ah well. If they do end up being ports, then I hope they are changed.

Many of the launch titles on the GBA didn't interest me much, other than COTM. At least many of the Nintendo ports had a bit of enhancement, lol. I hope Square doesn't screw the pooch on the port of FF1 and 2 they're doing for the GBA. I don't trust them with classic ports anymore, not after what they did to FF3/6...


I'd like to see a port of SSB on the DS, if it has enough buttons, anyway. The game is out of print.

 

[Paul]

LOL, you mean my industry contacts such as Nintendo themselves? So much for nintendo keepig the developers in the loop on this device Also I think you shoudl keep comments like that to yourself, thanks.

There you go again, "If I didn't hear it, it's not happening"

Like I said, I PERSONALLY doubt 30 games, but you are acting like it's a done deal, not surprising.

I'm not checking back with the thread, so tata.

Oh and BTW, speaking of keeping comments to themselves.

Jeez, what's with the attitude from some of you N-fans

You can keep that to yourself also, thanks.

*Hits everybody in the thread on the head, including myself just for fun, with a cartoon style mallet.*

What's with the agresstion(God, I can't spell.) today?

There's rumours about a mario 64 demo running on a nitro/DS hardware(or emulator?!).
So , if those rumours are true , then the dam containing all the N64 games , will brake to submerge the newborn DS

On a sidenote , if those are excellent ports it can be interresting to play n64 games on a handheld. But for the moment we have no serious clues about the renderer, 3D accelerated or not? That's the question!

And if the portathon (as you call it ) happens i seriously hope it won't be like the Gba's Portathon, few games perfectly ported( Mario's titles) , others Badly ported (Donkey Kong Country , or the HORRIBLE port of blackthorne...)

 

[jvd]

Hopefully it will be 30 playable games with only a few ports .

Then hopefully that trend continues and for the gc 2 we get 60 games at launch.


mmmmmh 60 gc 2 games at launch. That be so nice

 

[Guden Oden]

But I'd be willing to wager I've hear more than you on occasion.

You should note though, that NOT hearing about X is not evidence X does not exist... So you shouldn't draw any conclusions from what you have NOT yet heard, because none can be drawn.

Obviously the only ones that could have been rare titles are the game that use nintendo's licensed characters .

Unless Rare itself made the game for the DS specifically.

So what is that portable hardware is that system being released in China based on again?

What portable system? The iQue has no screen at all I believe, much less two and I don't think it runs on batteries either, so it doesn't exactly qualify as a portable. Anyway, like I said, the CPU(s) are different, so why wouldn't you expect the rest to differ also? Especially as iQue uses RDRAM (hot, expensive), and lacks GBA compatibility, something the DS reportedly has.

It just seems unlikely that's the way Nintendo would want to go. There are rasterizers out there aimed for portable use that kicks the crap out of the N64 that would be SO much better. Re-engineering the N64 chipset for portable use, new CPU and GBA compatibility seems about as big an undertaking as just getting a better 3D core to begin with.

 

[I.S.T.]

I answered his question about the I-Que already, Guden.

Didn't know Blackthrone had a crappy port.

Well, if there is a round of ports for the DS release, I hope SSB, Paper Mario and Kirby 64 are among the ports. They owned.

Fafalada:

> given those are all Nintendo titles only it's a lot either way you look at it...

I don't think they're all Nintendo titles and it's still a lot.



nobie:

> I think the "unveiling" will just be a paper list of 30 games that are in
> development.

There will definitely be playable titles at the show. Probably not 30 though.



Qroach:

> But we didn't hear of any confirmed to be working on games

Sega has confirmed NDS development and has had hardware since last year. Konami, Namco and THQ are also on board.

> Well the GBA was practically launched on convereted Snes titles.

As usual you're completely wrong.

> So much for nintendo keepig the developers in the loop on this device

Stop flattering yourself. There are lots of developvers with NDS info.

> I didn't know that system wasn't a portable

Perhaps you shouldn't have mentioned it then?



Guden Oden:

> Just speculation mind you, but maybe you don't hear everything?

That's not speculation. Quincy never misses a chance to demonstrate just how out of the loop he is.

> Now that N and R no longer are butt-buddies I'm just intrigued by the
> thought wether R would want to be a 3rd-party for the DS.

Rare probably doesn't have NDS kits yet but I wouldn't be surprised to see them eventually make an NDS game. Afterall, the GBA is where Rare makes its money these days.



Johnny Awesome:

> Well now we know why there are barely any 1st party Cube games...

What's M$' excuse?



notAFanB:

> you know very well it's not a portable.

You give Quincy far too much credit. Rest assured his ignorance won't stop him from trolling.

 

[notAFanB]

... my god man, it was an mistake since iQue is kinda low profile (effectively reselling the N63 to a new market).

It just seems unlikely that's the way Nintendo would want to go. There are rasterizers out there aimed for portable use that kicks the crap out of the N64 that would be SO much better.

which pretty much sums everything up really.

 

[Qroach]

This is one of those "N-fans" (cybermerc) I was talking about earlier. My apologies to anyone that comment doesn't apply to.

Sega has confirmed NDS development and has had hardware since last year. Konami, Namco and THQ are also on board.

Got any press releases that say they are "officially" working on titles, and not just a "we're interested" statement?

As usual you're completely wrong.

If you really don't think the GBA was launched on the convertion of lot's of snes titles (even some genesis titles), then you are more blind than I thought. It has a foolish amount of snes ported titles early on.

Stop flattering yourself. There are lots of developvers with NDS info.

That aren't Japanese developers ? Hardly. Naming 7 or 8 publishers developing titles isn't what I'd call a lot.

Perhaps you shouldn't have mentioned it then?

Perhaps you shouldn't be responding to that as it was already responded to. Pure sign of a fan, when you scan through a thread looking only for comments you disagree with or want to correct.

That's not speculation. Quincy never misses a chance to demonstrate just how out of the loop he is.

Personal attacks from a F@nboy. Sorry, but you really should have been banned ages ago.

You give Quincy far too much credit. Rest assured his ignorance won't stop him from trolling.

look who's really trolling. Like i said before, you and your bad attitude needed to be banned ages ago.

I've read on Gamespot I think it was that Sega was developing for the DS. Been a while though, so I'm not sure. Edit: I really suck at phpBB quoting.

 

[Fleet-C]

One thing is sure, GBA wasn't launched with a lot of converted SNES titles, I remember it very well, there was only one, and it was SUper Mario Advance. Nowdays, there is the illusion that the GBA is a port machine, and there are some, I won't deny that, but nowere near as much as all of you make it to be Concerning the DS, well, there is only one confirmed title to be shown at EEE and it isn't even from a Japanese company, it is Project Helix from THQ.

 

[Qroach]

Well maybe not all were older titles, but there was enough snes/genesis games on there that kept me away from the GBA intially.

Nothing 100% clear but there's some info about sega and the DS

at gamesradar first

Sega president Hisao Oguchi has confirmed in a recent financial report that Sega will develop games for both the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS handhelds. He also revealed that the company have possessed Nintendo DS development kits since last year

Gamespot is precise about the fact that sega has the Nitro Dev/kit but they don't know what they're going to do.(Sega talked lately about doing on handheld MORE than games (music, apps, videos?!))

Gamespot

As for the mobile console sector, Oguchi did not clearly state that Sega will be developing for the Nintendo DS, but he hinted that the company is ready. "We have already acquired the development kit", commented Oguchi, referring to the tools required in creating games for the double-screen handheld machine. Oguchi also commented that Sega is “prepared to release software [titles]â€￾ on the Sony's upcoming portable console PSP, scheduled for a worldwide launch at the end of the year.
