@Doma I'm gonna go ahead and guess that very few 360s and PS3s will be sold after the launch of the Xbone and PS4. It's not like we're counting the Wii in the equation, either.
The Wii U is cheaper than the Xbox One and the PS4 are going to be, so I don't see why the Wii U needs a price cut. If people opt for the cheapest console, the Wii U will be the console of choice, even without a price cut.
I believe that the upcoming releases will help Nintendo get back on their feet. Wii Party/Fit U will reel in the casuals, and there's a strong line-up for the core gamers on the way.
@Emblem You're absolutely right. They could port it if they wanted, but it seems they don't want to... Which is stupid, because I think a lot of Wii U owners would get the game. The KH games kinda feel like Nintendo games. When I first saw a vid of KH2, I thought it was for the Wii
Looks very cool, I would get it if it was a real game. The great sword would do wide swipes, the lance would only hit in front... I can see it all work out really well.
Women usually don't mind playing a male character. Men, on the other hand, may have issues playing a female character.
I thought Super Princess Peach was great. It was easy, and the fact that Peach used emotions as abilities was a little silly, but the game felt more like a sequel to Yoshi's Island on the SNES than Yoshi's Island DS ever did.
The gamepad is fine, but it's up to the game devs to make good use of it. I wouldn't worry about first party games, Nintendo knows what they're doing. The problem is third party devs who adds touch control without thinking. The most common mistake is to add touch actions that have to be performed in the middle of non-touch actions (like a special move performed by touch, while the rest of the combat is performed without touch). This is "control-breaking" - you shouldn't be required to drag out the stylus to clumsily perform a special move or to keep the stylus handy at all times for a game that mainly uses non-touch controls. I saw this problem with tons of third party DS games, as well.
I'm actually glad. We already heard that the 3DS version was "holding back" the Wii U version somewhat. Catering for crossplay might have been another factor to hold back the Wii U version.
I think it looks great. Not only the wall / ceiling rides and the underwater / gliding parts, but also the environments. They look way more fleshed out than ever.
@MadAussieBloke haha I bet many will hate the Wii Fit Trainer just because she's the Wii Fit Trainer. Owning them = trolling successful. The trainer has potential though, as a swift and acrobatic character.
Miyamoto knows where it's at. I don't want to rent games, I want to own them, and I want to be able to play them in 10 years. And when the time comes, by kids can enjoy them
I'm hoping it's some kind of lightweight online rpg, perhaps in the lines of Maplestory. Maple sucks now, but it was really decent a few years back. One can dream, right?
@edcomics You get your 'fun extra' on the game itself. Plus, all of us that don't own a 3DS can get it, too. Personally, I have little interest in MiiVerse, but I see no need to bash Nintendo for making use of it.
@Davidiam007 No one is trying to pick a fight with you. Don't get upset when your opinion is challenged. It's not a rip-off since you cannot rip off your own creations. You misuse the term. Also, who cares? The 3DS game got great reviews, and many of us haven't got a 3DS in the first place. It will probably be the most memorable Mario game so far because of the multiplayer aspect.
I don't think of this as a big loss. I'm a Nintendo kind of guy, and if I am any indication of the Wii U audience (in that I love Mario, Zelda etc, and I don't care about games like CoD, Fifa etc), I don't think many people care.
In a year, the Wii U will have launched a dozen of big name titles (Smash Bros, 3D Mario, Monolith Soft's X etc) and will be back on top.
Just let me get this straight: The New Super Luigi U game will be just as big as the original (as in amount of levels)? And it will retail at half the price of the original? Then I'll just skip the original and get the Luigi version, lol
