I think it's more of a "well I would get a Wii U to play game X but then I wouldn't be able to play game Y" sort of attitude. Even if gamers are interested in the Wii U for it's exclusives, if it didn't have any of the games coming on other consoles it's going to be harder to justify the purchase. I know a lot of people buy multiple consoles but there are a great deal of gamers who only support one console a generation.

@Austroid Well Retro are 1st party so I would argue that they don't. At least Ubisoft are supprorting the Wii U.

I wish Nintendo were this chummy with Western Developers as well. Hopefully Iwata's new position is going to help bring in the partnerships.

@Smitherenez
I think I commented on that one as well XD
I'm 21 and my very first console game was Metroid II on the gameboy when I was 6, although If I were to replay it I could probably do it in a day, it took me until I was 12 to actually complete that game but I now no so many of the hidden short cuts.
So yesterday I started playing Super Metroid for the first time, and I am loving the experience. I have actually reached a point where I was wondering around in circles unable to work out how to progress (after aquiring Spazer and high jump boots). I don't want to ask for help but I can't begrudge those that do seeing as it's as simple as addressing someone across the room thanks to miiverse.
@RetroGBHippie92 OMG THAT MUST BE IT!

This upsets me because I have a lot of respect for Bioware which as a result of this decision wil not be bringing any of their titles to Wii U.
Ea Sports games don't interest me personally but I can see the loss resultling from this. Hopefully some third parties can use this gap in the market to create some new franchises.

Jeez, why is this such a big deal, I'm playing for the first time and it's incredible, although I'm hopelessly stuck :/

If there are any new announcements I imagine they will be regarding 3rd party software. Stuff like Metroid will surely be saved for the e3 one.

I'm not going to lie, Tharja kind of creeps me out.

I will very likely pick up both of these at some point considering how much I'm enjoying ACIII and how great Watch_Dogs is looking so far!

@CoAndy
Absolutely, got to have some Gumshoe!

It's looking like in the immediate absence of Nintendo 1st party games my Wii U is going to be continually gorging on M rated games Most of which are from Ubi.

I loved the end of the video XD bless

Reminds me of the wierd option to put the twins from Project Zero 2 in Mario and Luigi costumes XD
Sailor Chris is amazing XD

What suprises me is that they are releasing a version for the ds...
I know this kind of game may still shift copies on that system but if they try to share assets its going to drag the 3ds version down considerably right?

This is exactly the kind of thing I'd sample if it was on a promo sale, but is not something I want to shell out a couple of quid for otherwise.

Looks pretty dire to me, gameplay seems generic, sound effects are annoying, art style doesn't do much for me. But hey this is only an announcement trailer, it may very well look better in the future.

I would absolutely love a sequel, there are so many things they could add and improve on. I'd love to be able to encounter other survivors but not be allied with them, that way you know that if the going gets tough for them they may try to take you out for loot. I hope this could work without crippling the atmosphere.

Is the demo the same level from the 3ds demo?

If this game was worth it, I fail to see why Nintendo wouldn't produce it themselves. I can't bring myself to fund this despite an ED sequel being in my top 3 Wii U wishlist. I just don't trust Dyack to deliver anything if he is in a position of power.
If an Eternal Darkness game is going to be released it will be able to use the Eternal Darkness name, rather than riding off it's fanbase.

This game looks so delightfully tailored to my interests.
The eshop is drowning in 2d platformers so this is a huge draw.
What programmes are you using for the designs? I've been teaching myself 3d animation and design and would love to get recommendations from such talented indie devs.

@Zup I don't feel that's the case.
Even though they never meant to enter this situation they are still making a statement by removing this feature.

I actually like 3 of these a lot, not so keen on the lizard but he clearly has fans here!

I would love to see Ninty expand on the Smash Bros and Nintendoland concept and create a Kingdom Hearts style game when original characters have to enter worlds/landscapes based on the different franchises.
That is my definition of a Super IP XD

@Dpishere That's a fascinating approach to storytelling, which should really be a staple of the unique experiences that only video games can provide.
Also @Dpishere If I hadn't been already, that would have settled it.

Maybe the slow virtual console release schedule is to prevent Indie titles from getting buried by golden oldies? Perhaps this is a bit ludicrous but I wouldn't rule it out.

Anyone else think that some of the money they raise from crowd sourcing is going to be spent on legal fees?

This is the definition of fan service XD
Not for me but I'm glad to see localisation is making progress.

If the patch removes same sex options, I will be furious with Nintendo. There is nothing inappropriate about equal opportunities.

As long as we get Destiny....

I guess commercial risks such as Okami 3 might not be likely under this climate
Still they're making a profit so it's not all bad.

Oh sweet this looks fantastic for an Indie game. I can't wait to have some non platforming action games released on the eShop. Some of the character animations look a little rigid atm though.

@Gavin_Rozee If this was a console exclusive I'm sure Nintendo would help publish the game.
However judging by interviews about it they are going for this crowd funded, system to enable increased interaction between developers and fans.

I'm in two minds about this project, I really want to support it and put faith in it, but the very fact that a game of this size has no publisher support and the stories I have heard about Dennis Dyack, as well as the track record of Silicon Knights, make me very sceptical of whether they will pull this off.
Combined with the "if you fund us you can give us your ideas of what content goes in the game and if it's popular we will put it in" sounds like trouble to me.

While the majority of app games are not things I would be invested in, it's worth noting that there are some ds ports as well as genuinely unique games such as Nightjar.

@LittleFuryThings
Exactly, does anyone get VLR vibes from the footage?

I'm going to pick up Starship Damrey as soon as it's on sale, unless the reviews can tempt me enough.

I Love my Wii U but since I didn't buy it until Febuary I haven't run out of games to play yet, and before the summer I have Deus Ex to investigate and haven't tried Lego City yet. The way I see it is that Nintendo knows that the Wii U has no momentum, and also knows it still has a small user base. The signs do indicate that when we get to July-ish Nintendo is going to firing out titles like Pikmin, Mario Kart, 3d Mario, Wind Waker and maybe Retro's game all before the end of the year. It's annoying for the early adopters but if people keep seeing these huge releases lining the shop, more and more people are going to invest, on the other hand if every two months one particularly inticing game is released that will keep the small userbase happy but won't give them as much marketing power. I am sorry for all the gamers who have legitimately got no new games to play.
On the other hand a lot of the ports which people often knock are still phenomenal games, don't brush them asside because they are older games.

To be fair this is only a chart of content, bot a slander piece.
Lol Zumba fitness is on it as well! Even people who have only played two or three games in their life could probably laugh that off.

I think I only ever played this once and yet some of these tracks sound suprisingly familiar.

As much as I love my sweeping layered soundtracks I did love the way they used the original 8 bit theme for the Orne in Kid Icarus Uprising. You knew you were in trouble when that came on.

Just wanted to say kudos to Damien, the tag line made me laugh.

@Wiidsguy
Yeah this is exactly my sentiment, it seems like a well packaged tech demo to be bundled with something. Exactly like Wii Play.

The stuff he was talking about sounded really impressive, if what he was showing on the Ipad was an actual demonstration of what they were doing then I'm not too upset.

@Zup
Actually the way I see it is they say also coming to CURRENT generation consoles. This is Ubisoft stating that the Wii U is current gen and that more current gen consoles will feature this game. Everything else on relsease is previous gen.

Oh yay, I'd forgotten about this game Looks rather special.

"If u hate to finish a game the next day u buy it, u better not play TW101."
Ok then I won't
A lot of big game releases seem to have done this last generation . I don't want to be able to buy a game and complete it in only 1 or 2 sittings. This to me is a waste of money.
If there are amble bonuses I may reconsider but there are other Wii U games which I can turn to if this is not the case.

Edit. Upon reading the above mentioned article I retract most of this statement XD

Never bought a COD game myself, but since this isn't Mod W or Blops, I will at least keep an eye on it to see if it does something different. You never know, judging by the title it might be a stealth game, which I enjoy infinately more than most FPS games. More interested in Deus EX though.
On more thing... Someone please ressurect time splitters, it was easily the greatest multiplatform FPS series.

I love how "Noise Level" was in english XD
This game looks seriously stunning!
@Kirk Exactly the fusion has come out perfectly.

The only reason I bought Links Awakening DX on the eshop (I had the original) was because I won eShop credit at a Kid Icarus tournement. The only reason I bought Mario Bros 3 and the Original LoZ was because one of them was a concession for paying for the internet browser and the other was with club nintendo points.
Although the only reason I have pursued the Wii U VC so far has been the sales I am more likely to support it than I have been other VCs. However without discounts I am unlikely to buy anything that I was not already hoping for such as Link to the Past.

I really hope they do add N64 and GC games as these are far bigger draws to me than classic NES games, largely since I grew up around them. (Sorry retro fans).

I wonder how many people have a similar attitude.

This and Trine 2 are the reasons that I haven't purchased NSMBU. They both ooze beauty and creativity in a way it doesn't seem capable of.
