PoV: Nintendo’s Impending Destruction

Posted Mar 2, 2012 at 12:18PM EST by Listed in: PoV Tags: 3ds innovations, nintendo innovations, wii u innovation

Why the innovative games company is headed for failure.

Nintendo is, by most accounts, one of the most innovative forces in the world of gaming. The company lays claim to breakthroughs like force-feedback technology, motion control, z-targeting and a whole host of other now-standard gaming mechanics. Unfortunately, Nintendo’s days of leading the pack are quickly coming to a close.

Nintendo has always performed well in the games marketplace because of its exclusive titles and accessible technologies. However, games aren’t really the future of the games industry. In 2012 and beyond, it’s not games that sell devices, but their multimedia capabilities. One of the fastest-growing groups of console owners is made up of people who primarily use their devices to watch Netflix, listen to music or rent movies.

Nintendo has failed to keep pace with its competitors in the realm of multimedia. And it has also failed to keep pace when it comes to online gaming (friend codes, seriously?). If the Wii U can’t make some major improvements to the way Nintendo delivers multimedia content and online gameplay, it’s simply not going to be the console of choice.

Consumers always flock to the device that provides them the most value. A large number of PS3 sales can be chalked up to Blu-Ray support, just as a large number of Wii sales can be chalked up to the initial hype concerning motion control. In the next console generation, the device with the most utility wins.

If Nintendo fails to recognize this trend, it’s going to find itself toppled from the throne faster than it can say “3DS Lite.”

Sound Off: The Joy of Microtransactions

Posted Feb 22, 2012 at 4:06PM EST by Listed in: PoV Tags: Blizzard, free-to-play, microtransactions, modern warfare

Are tiny in-game payments the way of the future?

If you’ve never heard the word “microtransaction,” here’s a quick primer: a microtransaction is a purchase made in a video game, with real-life money, for some sort of in-game function or item. This purchase is almost always very low in initial cost, hence the “micro” part of the word. The idea is simple—players spend tiny bits of money at a time, but all of that money adds up.

Several games have used the microtransaction model to great success. In fact, it’s one of the primary ways in which most free-to-play MMORPG and mobile games stay afloat. It would seem that players, as a rule, aren’t opposed to investing a small chunk of change if it makes their game easier or more enjoyable.

With microtransaction popularity skyrocketing, it’s inevitable that we’ll see more games offering in-game purchases. And it’s not unfathomable to imagine a world in which Activision sells weapons for Modern Warfare at $1 each, or where Blizzard offers “Premium” services for their next MMO. Whatever the game, microtransactions are going to be a permanent part of any game publisher’s revenue models.

So how do you feel about microtransactions? Are they a good way to recoup costs on a game and keep the initial cost to players down, or are they a manipulative method for tricking players into pumping cash into a game long after they should?

Sound off!

Are tiny in-game payments the way of the future?

What? A F2P Simpsons iOS Game?

Posted Feb 21, 2012 at 4:34PM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: EA, hit and run, ios, itunes store, tapped out, the simpsons

EA is bringing America’s favorite dysfunctional family to your iOS device.

Simpsons games, as a rule, have been pretty hit-or-miss. The arcade game was an instant classic, but some of the side-scrollers that showed up on various consoles throughout the 90s were utter garbage. The franchise saw renewed game-related praise for 2003’s Hit and Run, but has been mostly dark since then.

Well, Simpsons fans, your long wait has come to an end: EA is prepping a brand new Simpsons iOS game, titled The Simpsons: Tapped Out. The game will utilize writers from the show, as well as all of the relevant voice talent. Tapped Out revolves around rebuilding Springfield after Homer accidentally destroys it in a nuclear explosion.

The game is slotted firmly in the free-to-play notch, with the initial download being free but microtransactions aplenty. You’ll be able to trade your real-life cash for in-game doughnuts, which I can only assume will be used to unlock new characters and gameplay elements. Simpsons games are always risky, but with the writers and actors onboard, this should at least turn out interesting for fans.

Look for Tapped Out to hit the iTunes Store sometime this spring. And for you Android users, watch for the game a few months after that. As usual.

Nintendo 3DS Moves 5 million in Japan

Posted Feb 20, 2012 at 2:23PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: nintendo 3ds, ps vita

Suck it, Vita.

The Nintendo 3DS has quickly become the comeback kid of the games industry. Despite a weak launch that went so poorly Nintendo was forced to drop the price of the unit, the 3D handheld has surged in both western and eastern markets and dragged itself, somehow, to the top of the heap. 52 weeks after initially launching in Japan, the Nintendo 3DS has officially become the fastest system in history to land five million sales in Japan.

The previous record, naturally, belonged to the Nintendo DS, which moved five million units in 56 weeks. 3DS continues to perform well in Japan, even now that the Christmas holiday has passed and gamers are back to watching their wallets. The device moved 67,558 units last week, far outstripping new competitor PS Vita’s 13,939.

Things are a little different here in the west, with the PS Vita set for launch this week and a slightly less enthusiastic response to the Nintendo 3DS. We’ll just have to see how things play out over the next few weeks—can Vita stake its claim in a new market, or is the 3DS on its way to becoming yet another jewel in Nintendo’s increasingly heavy crown?

Given the choice, would you buy a Vita or 3DS?

[Game Informer]

Suck it, Vita.

Australia Finally Getting SWTOR

Posted Feb 15, 2012 at 4:37PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: EA, Star Wars, swtor, the old republic

Assuming, of course, that the Aussie ratings board doesn’t ban it.

Star Wars: The Old Republic hit shelves on December 20, 2011. Since then, the game has moved over two million copies. Unfortunately, none (or very few) of those copies were sold in Australia. EA announced in September that Australia would not be an initial launch zone for the game, and Aussie gamers have been waiting patiently for an update ever since.

Well, here’s your update: SWTOR lands in your upside-down country (also Kiwi nation) on March 1. If you’re already playing the game and you live in one of the March 1 zones (Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong or Singapore), you’ll receive an optional free character transfer to an Asia Pacific server.

The Old Republic has been doing quite well since launch, amassing 1.7 million active subscribers and more than a few glowing reviews. It’s not the WoW-killer everyone seemed to think it would be, but nothing ever is. An Australian release will boost subscriber numbers and help EA get a bit closer to recouping its $200 million-plus investment in the game.

Are you eagerly awaiting a SWTOR release in your area?

Resident Evil Revelations Price Lower than Expected

Posted Jan 30, 2012 at 3:27PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: Capcom, nintendo 3ds, resident evil revelations

Capcom revises its initial price point for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS title.

Resident Evil Revelations is due out for the Nintendo 3DS in just a couple of weeks, and up until now we were fully expecting to pay $49.99 for the game. This price, a bit higher than normal for 3DS titles, was apparently the result of the game being installed on a 4GB card instead of the usual 2GB.

While Capcom noted that it was confident the game’s quality was well worth the extra cash, they didn’t seem happy about the higher price point. And, according to a statement on their official site, they’ve been looking for weeks to find ways to eliminate the discrepancy. It looks like they figured it out.

As of now, Resident Evil Revelations is priced at the normal rate of $39.99. It’s worth noting that the price change only applies to United States version of the game – if you live somewhere else, you’ll need to stay tuned to Capcom for further updates.

What do you think of the pricing change? Is Capcom really fighting for the wallets of consumers, or just afraid the extra $10 will scare off potential buyers?

AbleGamers gives SWTOR Game of the Year

Posted Jan 20, 2012 at 3:30PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: BioWare, Star Wars, swtor, the old republic

The charity, dedicated to bringing gaming to disabled individuals worldwide, celebrates the deep accessibility options present in Bioware’s MMO.

If you’ve never heard of AbleGamers, here’s the scoop: The organization, founded in 2004, focuses on bringing expensive accessibility technology to gamers with disabilities, thus enriching their lives by providing them with fun entertainment and a method for interacting with the online world. AbleGamers also lobbies for accessibility options in games that allow people with a variety of disabilities to more easily enjoy the titles.

Star Wars: The Old Republic has just been named AbleGamers’ 2011 Accessible Mainstream Game of the Year, a title that, while not catchy, recognizes the immense work Bioware put into making their massive MMO accessible to all gamers.

The charity cited full subtitles, colorblind graphics setups and flexible control schemes as the primary reasons for the award, with president Mark Barlet noting, “It's very rare to see a game of this caliber initially released with so many accessibility options.” He also stated that thanks to Bioware’s work on accessibility, the great majority of disabled gamers would still be able to enjoy SWTOR.

Nice work, Bioware!

Do you think developers have a responsibility to make their games accessible to individuals with disabilities?
