No DVD or Blu-ray Playback for Wii-U?

Tue Jan 31, 2012 9:00 AM

From an article on Go Nintendo:

"Nintendo of America’s Vice President of Corporate Affairs Cindy Gordon did confirm that the Nintendo Wii U won’t be able to play DVDs or Blurays."

If true, i'm not sure how to feel about this report. On one hand, I can see Nintendo trying to keep down the costs of its building its new console so that the shelf price is acceptable to consumers. On the other hand, with the Wii- U coming into the HD-era of gaming, being able to play a DVD or Blu-ray would seem to be a natural feature. (NOTE: no mention of CD playback in the article)

Is having Blu-ray or DVD playback an important feature of your console experience or is having access to Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc enough for you?

Stonekeep

Fri Jan 20, 2012 10:13 AM

I see that Stonekeep is now available for download for 500pts... $5. Just curious if anyone bought it and if so, what are your thoughts on the game?

I haven't bought a Wii download game since shortly after the launch of the system but I'm really tempted to make the purchase of this game just because I enjoyed the original Stonekeep on the computer.

Questions about INTV Corp.

Mon Jan 16, 2012 9:09 AM

I was reacquainting myself with the history of the Intellivision by visiting the home page:
http://www.intellivi...s.com/home.html

A few questions pop'ed into my mind while reading and maybe you guys can answer:

1) Did Blue Sky develop all of the INTV Corp. game releases or did INTV Corp have some of their own developers that worked on games? Did any other gaming company write or port any games for the Intellivision that were released under the INTV Corp. label?

2) The history page states that after INTV Corp. went with the All-America campaign that didn't help sales, they started developing games for the NES. Did any INTV Corp. games actually make it to the NES?

And finally, while not a INTV Corp. question, why do you think the IntelliVoice failed? I think upon release, it was priced at $99 but seemed to quickly fall in price and was soon being given away by Mattel. Could possible reasons it didn't catch on be because Mattel didn't release enough games for it or it was too expensive to manufacture games for or the released games for it were unpopular with consumers or the "crash" was coming and sales were down on all gaming products when the IntelliVoice was released?

Thanks in advance for any info- thoughts!
