I've used the backwards compatibility of the Wii, Wii U, 3DS and even the DS, in fact earlier today I was playing Professor Layton and the Spectre's Call on my 3DS.
I quite like how the Wii U looks but I agree that it could of in a different selection of colours that haven't been done on the Wii before it, something like a silver or purple would of made people think something like "this is a new colour, oh, it's new console" but that's just me tiredly rambling
Yes, if you buy stuff from the eShop directly you have to buy say £50 worth of cards to buy a £45 game meaning that unless there is something else you want to buy you have lost money.
There have been a few Kickstarters that I've wanted to back but I haven't because it's not certain that it's going to be 100% funded or completed once funded, if a game is completed and released then I'll get it then and not worry about losing money.
The 3rd party support for WiiU has been fairly good for a new console. People are comparing it to consoles already out and I'm pretty sure that a similar thing will happen with PS4 and Xbox 720, althought noone will complain when that happens
I would download more retail games if they were cheaper. At the moment I buy all of my games as discs but I've considered downloading many of them but then saw the price, it's just not worth paying £50 for non-physical copy of the game. I know that less and less people are buying physical games but, at the moment at least, there is no real insentive for me to go download only.
£30 for Zombi U is a really great price, anyone that doesn't own it already should definitely pick it up although they'd have to wait until midnight to start downloading it.
This really bugs me but I don't think it's Criterion that have said no because they love the Wii U, no this is EA but I'm sure they'll release it if it sells enough copies.
Patcher almost always gets his predictions wrong and he always changes his mind, I remember before the Wii U launched he said that it would fail one week then the next he said it would be super successful.
I reckon that Sony and Nintendo will be really successful this gen and the Microsoft will only sell a couple of million consoles to the die-hard Halo and Forza fans.
I like how ZombiU puts other peoples zombies in your game and would actually quite like to see more games do a similar thing. I'm all for this idea so long as you don't have to be online to play the game.
I reakon the gamepad will have a map on it, not very innovative but it could be useful in this game, plus they might add a feature that allows you to hack stuff by pressing it on the map.
The release date hasn't been announced yet, the only thing we're judging it off is the Watch_Dogs release of Fall 2013 which doesn't mean anything. Yes it's coming on day one, and yes it shown at the conference but that doesn't mean that's when the PS4 is released. Look at Wii U, that was announced a whole year before it was released, something that i'm expecting with the PS4.
Don't get me wrong, i'm looking forward to it, but I don't think it's a day one purchase for me.
I know quite a few people who have either bought a Wii U or were going to buy one just for Rayman Legends, if Ubisoft had released Legends when it was intended to be released then Nintendo could of reached their target, now though it will be even more difficult. Exclusive titles do sell console's, almost all of you have bought a Wii U just to play the next Zelda or Mario.
I reckon that when the PS4 and 720 are released many developers will develop for the Wii U because it will be a heck of a lot cheaper than developing for the other two, but thats assuming that the gap between Wii U and the other two is as big as we think it's going to be but even so the ports will be a lot better than the ones for the Wii were.
I've had mine preordered at my local GAME since the day after the nintendo direct that first revealed the release date and i've already paid it off on a gift card
I only try to get trophies when i enjoy the game ( E.G. Assassin's Creed 2), some people will buy a terrible game just to make their score higher, I don't really care if nintendo put achievements on wii u but if they do i won't do any harm
