Nintendo's "life-saving" patent
A patent filed by Nintendo last year was released this week to optimize attack judgment in games.
The patent, filed by the developers of HAL Research Institute, the developer of Star Kabi, allows the game character's attack judgment to change according to the angle of the camera, which is simply that the attack that "looks like it can hit" can be judged as a hit. This will also effectively lower the operation threshold in the game and make the game more friendly.
In fact, similar patents exist in many games, but Nintendo's patent application this time is more relaxed in scope and can change according to the shape of the weapon.
Those who play "Star Kabi Discovery and Discovery" released last year must be deeply touched by this. Sometimes attacks that seem ambiguous are judged as hits—and even attacks that you obviously don't feel like hitting can sometimes hit
This also made many friends sigh, Nintendo is really careful, this patent really saved the lives of our handicapped party!
Nintendo is confident in Kingdom Tears
In the face of the price increase of "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" to $70, although many players have said that "it doesn't matter, any loss/PDD will shoot", but the fact that the price of the game has increased is also a little worrying.
This week, in an interview, the president of the United States talked about the price of "Kingdom Tears" at $70, saying that "Kingdom Tears" will bring players a very complete and deeply immersive experience.
To put it bluntly, "the content of "Kingdom Tears" is worthy of the price of $70", which can be said to be quite confident.
In addition, the president of the United States also said that "it does not mean that all our future games will be at this price". In fact, Nintendo's games, even on the NS, are still available in three price ranges: 40, 50 and 60, and some smaller and more ordinary works are often priced at $40 or $50.
President of the United States talks about "new models"
In the interview with the president of the United States, the topic of "new models" was also mentioned - of course, this is also a question that Nintendo executives must ask in every interview and every meeting
This time, the president of the United States is basically some car remarks, such as "we are very confident in the 7th year of NS" and "NS can have a strong performance in the next few years" Yunyun. Of course, this also makes many friends worry, should this mean that Nintendo will not release a new machine in the next few years, right?
In fact, there is no need to worry at all, the generation change will not be completed in a year and a half, look at the PS5 and XSX next door have been released for more than two years, PS4 and X1 can still play many new games. Even if the performance of NS is weak, including first-party games and a large number of independent games, existing NS will still be logged in the future.
Nintendo controller black technology
This week, NWeedle, a perennial person who broke the news of Nintendo's patent, exposed a Nintendo patent that has not yet been made public.
He said that the next generation of Nintendo's controller (controller) will come with its own storage device, and players can save personal accounts, preferences and other data in the controller. This way, when the controller is connected to different consoles, there is no need for the player to log in to the account or modify the settings repeatedly.
In fact, Nintendo has practiced as early as the Wii era, players can write their personal image Mii into the controller, and when the controller is connected to other Wii, the Mii image can be transmitted. But in contrast, this patent is obviously more technologically advanced, with more data volume and encryption.
However, at present, this technology is limited to the exposure of this person, the document has not been published in the patent office, and Nintendo has not announced related products. It is also highly likely that it will only remain at the patent stage without practical application.
As far as I personally understand, this technology is likely to be related to Nintendo's future device form. Although the NS of the main handheld integration is very popular today, it may return to the form of host handheld separation one day in the future. And this patent may allow the handle to switch freely between the two forms of equipment.
Breath of the Wild full edition bonus
As the release date of "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" approaches, the "Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild + Expansion Ticket" (full version cartridge) that has been out of stock and even speculated to 800+ yuan has been reprinted, and the new cartridge can generally be won for about 500 yuan.
And Nintendo announced this week that this group of players who purchased the full version of the cartridge will receive a postcard bonus, a set of 2 illustrations for "Breath of the Wild" and "Kingdom Tears".
If you have purchased this work before and only want the bonus, you can also go to "Little Yellow Fish" and other platforms to search, there are many profiteers will sell these bonuses.
Nintendo has always had a habit of republishing previous generation games/merchandise before the release of new works. But if you miss this reprint, I am afraid that you will not have much chance to buy the new full version of "Breath of the Wild" in the future. Therefore, you and other parties don't wait much this time, it's time to start~
New trends in "Yokai Watch"
In this week's interview with LEVEL-5 President Kohiro Hino, Famitsu mentioned games such as "Lightning Eleven", "Professor Leighton", "Million Ton Musashi", "DECA POLICE" and other games released at the previous press conference. In addition, there is an "unpublished new work".
Among the previous works, Professor Layton's new work "Professor Leighton and the New World of Steam" has been confirmed to support official Chinese, including simplified and traditional characters, and will be released globally simultaneously. Although several other games have not yet explicitly stated that they support Chinese, according to the official introduction of these Chinese games in the previous live broadcast, and hints such as "support multiple Chinese" and "global simultaneous release", you can basically not worry, L5 should really "figure it out" this time!
For fans of Yokai Watch, Hino said of this "unpublished new work" that it "draws on the style of Yokai Watch". This sounds like it doesn't seem to be the orthodox work of "Yokai Watch", but may be a similar new IP. Of course, there is only a clue to this sentence about this work, and what kind of game it is is still unknown.
