PlayStation Vita Just Might Be Region Free

This could be good news for anyone looking forward to the PlayStation Vita; IGN report that according to Michael Denny, Vice President of Sony Worldwide Studios Europe, the device will be region free, “to the best of his knowledge”.

The PlayStation Vita will come in two models – one with Wi-Fi capability for $250 and one with Wi-Fi/3G capabilities for $300.

Well, I know that I want this one, because I can play it on my 360~

Now my Dreamcast disc can rest inside the case and get some well-deserved sleep.

I would love to see ZERO 3/Alpha 3 get the same treatment, and keep the World Tour mode~

Some hints from the article.

Making a portable version had its appeal for him, as they'd be able to do a number of new things. At the same time, there would be limits, as they'd be handicapped in some areas when it comes to offering the usual enjoyment areas of Smash Bros.

Specifically, Sakurai feels that a portable system makes the game a more "individual" experience in that, compared to a console, it's easier to make players attached to the data that they've built up and collected. The fact that you're carrying the hardware with you makes for a more personal experience.

The difficulty here is that the current Smash Bros. games haven't relied on rewards, collecting money or raising your character's level. There's no element of gaining experience to make your character stronger, Iwata noted.

What Sakurai hopes to do is have the 3DS version of Smash Bros. allow players to build up their character through battle and rewards, then take their custom character to the Wii U version to face off against everyone. He feels it could be nice if they can make the "personal" portable space and the stadium-like "public" console space mesh together.

Iwata summed it the basic idea nicely: players would spend time on the 3DS version, building up their character and collecting stuff, then show off their skills on the Wii U version.

Sakurai noted that as the Wii U is an HD system, this version could offer 60 frames per second visuals, high quality graphics, dynamic effects, and smooth character movements.

While it is important to have both versions of the game be enjoyable on their own, Sakurai feels that connectivity between the two versions will make the experience even more enjoyable.

Closing off the little section offering vague hints about the new Smash Bros. games, Sakurai said that his aim with the 3DS version is to offer players a slightly different experience from conventional Smash Bros. games. He believes that there is merit in having skilled and unskilled players play together, so one emphasis will be on elements of players helping one-another.

For the programmers, the difficulty is in making two games at once. Sakurai wants to place a focus on smoothly making the basic systems. They will first begin by porting the basic gameplay systems of Smash Bros. X to 3DS and Wii U.

Smash Bros. DX = Melee
Smash Bros. X = Brawl

Fan Creations / Re: Anyone here good artists? NES game cover needed!

« on: June 09, 2011, 06:00:38 PM »

An idea for the cover art itself, instead of only having the boss characters and Rockman himself on it, why not jump beyond the border of what official Japanese cover arts has in them (boss characters, Rockman himself and the castle).

Draw the new landscapes or the weapons that Rockman is using. Have 4 weapons being used on one side, 4 weapons being used on the other side, and Rockman staring at you in the middle with a cool pose or something. Add some other things in the background of the cover art too for more vibrant and eye-catching effect. Include the new Rush changes too if you like. ^^

Here's a list of the new weapon changes from the ROM hack, so you get an idea of what the ROM hack has to offer.

You can also look at qzecwx and Bluestar899's channels (and so many others to count) to find more about the hack.

The ROM Hack itself is made by PureSaber and is called Rockman 4: Minus Infinity.

I think you should keep the original Wii (or the original Gamecube), so you can play Gamecube games on it.
The WiiU is able to play original Wii games fine tho, as it was mentioned in the specs. ^^;

Seems you have to manually refresh that one, though.

It's automatic too, but you rarely notice the refresh tho.

Well yea it works, the feature is similar to the "Hardware" category on the Wii shop.

It shows every game for that specific system (GB, GBC, Game Gear, etc). All you need is use only the top choice where you select the system, then press "Search" and it should find all the games in that category.

There's at least 6 Game Boy VC games on the JP store.

[16:55] <@VixyNyan> ok let's see, Super Mario Land, Downtown Special Kunio-kun (River City Random), Phantasm, Baseball, Hoshi no Kirby, Rockman World
[16:55] <@VixyNyan> Phantasm is a 2D action game by Jaleco, with cool music
[16:55] <@VixyNyan> I saw a video and it looked ok
[16:55] <@VixyNyan> but I will wait for that one
[16:56] <@VixyNyan> might be better games later

And there's going to be 3 more games on June 15th. You can always find out what games will show up a week later by using the Search feature in the eshop.
