Iwata keynote

Link

Sounds interesting. Discovering new development opportunities? That certainly sounds interesting. And considering the last time he spoke at GDC it was about how Nintendo would start to bring in "casuals", and the time before that he announced the Wii, this ought to be rather important. I wonder what he means by "new development opportunities"... What new opportunities to develop games has Nintendo been introduced to? I have no clue. This is going to be good.

Edit: The help system from that patent is definitely a candidate, but the chances that we can correctly guess what he will speak about are slim to none. So maybe the very fact that we thought of that means that the probability of it being topic is too high for us to expect to be right. Whatever.

It would be very interesting if you could find a link with that quote from Iwata about "casuals". Mainly because I'm almost certain he would never use that word.

That is an old article.

But never the less. it is still interesting

Yeah, I don't recall if they actually use the word "casual." I know they like the word "disruption" though.

It's going to be the games that play themselves

That's Nintendo's newest thing. Games that require no user input at all and you'll still be able to beat levels because the game will do all the work for you.

I haven't minded any of Nintendo's pressers

They've all done well addressing everything they wanted to address.
Also everything they talked about has done remarkably well.

[QUOTE="Head_of_games"] Ah yes, the other idea Nintendo recently patented. Actually, I wouldn't mind that. I mean, it's not as if you would be REQUIRED to use the help system. It would just be there for those that are stuck on a part of the game. There have been games that I have adored but have parts that drive me insane. I would appreciate being able to skip particularly frustrating segments and get to the part of the game I enjoy. Plus, it would allow Nintendo the opportunity to develop more difficult games that will still appeal to "casuals" because they can skip the parts they don't like. I'd be very happy if that is what is announced.Head_of_games

I don't think I was, I can't be 100% sure but as of right now typing this I'm not lol

There's only one thing I'm against when it comes to Nintendo, everything else I'm good with

Remakes

I hate them with a passion so great that if we started talking about giant problems in the world I'd pick remakes

Like other countries living in slavery? I hate remakes more

Children starving? I hate remakes more

Dogs? I hate remakes more

They are a deadly scourge that destroys years of entertainment and dilutes the expectations of the masses.

Seriously! My jaw dropped the whole time I read it... :o

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY well it sounds obvious to me and sonic has dug his grave too far to be repairedEliteshadow413

The Sonic franchise is doing the best it has since Sega stopped making consoles and it's also the strongest it's been in it's history over the same amount of time

I have no idea where you heard it was doing poorly
