'neither accurate, nor to scale' - cute

This is why I am still shocked and saddened whenever I see so called gamers bad mouthing Nintendo. Even if you don't like what they make (which I find extremely hard to understand), their business methods and corporate values are something that deserve to be supported by anyone who loves games.

the simple addition of off screen play makes the gamepad completely worthwhile.

hooray for the first world!

other next-gen consoles, you mean

He is such a gentleman.

A very rare and welcome quality from someone in a position such as his.

that's not clarification, that's backtracking.

maybe they would also like to backtrack on how many console generations there are as well?

I prefer playing on WiiU, so I'' probably get it, but it would be huge pity. I normally don't care about DLC, but Arkham City has the only DLC outside of Mass Effect 2 I've ever bothered with.

I won't buy it for a different platform just for the opportunity to give them more money.

Nintendo would squash the 'backup' argument if they would just create proper eShop profiles that are linked to your library. As it stands I would love to be able to back up games and lose the ongoing fear of a broken or stolen 3DS.

only slightly baffling?

"Which of these (fictional) first-party Wii U offerings would you like the most?"

should definitely have had 'Games' on that list.

I joke because I care

Damn I used to enjoy knocking that dude out of the helicopter!

This is fantastic news. I love the look of this game, both game play and aesthetic

It now gives a message saying that the software is opening, instead of seeming to do nothing after selecting a game. Which is helpful

Better on WiiU or 3DS?

Will this also be at 50hz?

Not just subtitles...

REALLY BIG SUBTITLES

without Wiimote controls I just can't see myself bothering. It was great on 3DS, but this reeks of cash-in.

Edit: Wiimote controls would make the purchase entirely worthwhile, since I only really played the main game on 3DS. The other modes looked great though and would be very enticing with the fantastic Resi 4 Wii controls.

@ SilentHunter382
You are a man of excellent taste!

Cool - I'll wait til the price drops then.

@HeatBombastic That was a bit of an off hand comment - I guess its not just the guns but the overall violence. I was a huge fan of Road Rash back in the day. Road Rash 2 was probably my favorite Megadrive game next to Sonic 2. But the tone was entirely different. Road Rash was really camp and the violence was basically comical, which was highlighted by the funny animations at the end of each stage. There were 'good' characters who generally frowned on violence and bad ones who were basically vicious bastards. It was an illegal race, where violence was an option, but not actually encouraged, and when there was violence it was comical.

Now its assassination missions, neck stabbing and guns.

The racing part looks great, just don't see myself enjoying this.

EDIT: And yes I am afraid of guns. I live in one of the more dangerous countries in the world. Anyone not afraid of guns needs a reality check.

I'd be so much more keen on this if it weren't for the guns

All singers should be Justin Bieber

I thought it was a great film. It was like if Monty Python made The Dark Crystal.

Obviously less good as an interpretation of Mario.

Looks really good. Just wish the characters looked less like Lego

But what a lot of free advertising the blogs have given them! Totally worth it

I don't get this debate. I think its great to have casual modes. We want people to play games don't we? I'm not sure what mode I'll play this in, if I ever do, but I know my girlfriend prefers playing games just for fun. Challenge puts her off, so this might allow her and the millions of people like her to enjoy the game. She only recently started gaming, and so far has only finished Layton and the Curious Village and is nearing the end of Luigi 2. More varied difficulty means more gamers!

looks pretty great!

Man that hurts! I got it launch day. Consoles are normally more expensive here in SA, and seldom see price drops as quickly as the rest of the world. Guess that's changing.

so glad to see Hellfire getting some love.

Personally I would love to see more Rolling Thunder

speaking of too proud...

Michael Pachter on how he does his job: "I guess..."

A good release date is tomorrow. Hooray!

please please please

that is one floaty jump

Its my favorite. To hell with the haters. Megadrive should be second.

Will start pestering Pixel as soon as Nicalis gets Cave Story to the EU eShop.

still my favorite soundtrack to any game

Its so frustrating - I can't get connected to the Wii Shop, not with my Wii (I thought for a long time there was something wrong with it) but now I can't connect my WiiU either. It connects to the eShop just fine, just won't go online in Wii mode. And I wan this game soooo badly

I kinda think that's a high price for Nightsky

Really nice, but as some have said,this might have a heavy negative impact on sales later.

its a low blow, but not a low blow for Sony

Hey - Cape Town. I can't see my house from there, but if you went about 4km further along Tafelberg Rd I think you could!

its moments like this that I have to admit to a certain amount of fanboyism - I had little interest in this on PS3, but will almost certainly buy it on WiiU. Silly me.

Of course most Wii's are still actually working.

Maybe its postponed until they can fix it. No loss at all.

Sold. Especially with the Nicalis seal of Quality

Put more time into Xenoblade than any other game, over 96 hrs. Can't wait to see what they produce next.

@RaymanFan2 Not true at all.

For a start check out : http://www.theesa.com/facts/gameplayer.asp including this - Forty-seven percent of all players are women, and women over 18 years of age are one of the industry's fastest growing demographics. It annoys me when a normally excellent site like Nintendolife makes statements that reinforce stereotypes that are entirely false.

It really doesn't help change perceptions, which ironically seems to be one of the goals of making the statement in the first place.
