STEEL DIVER OMFG! This would be perfect for Wii U, looking through the GamePad to fire torpedoes. Will buy in any capacity.

People hate Tingle because he is them. A 40 year old man who dressed up and plays videogames. My hero.

@Peach64 Steel Diver proved nobody cares about new IPs

Sounds perfect. This game will surprise a lot of people.

He doesn't know, that's even worse. Imagine feeding your kids and you don't know if you have enough food for the last plate. Little Timmy sits down anyway, looking up. Waiting. He can smell the food.

Good. Price means absolutely nothing when people are not interested, even people who already have Wii U's are too lazy to download 30 cent games.

They will never support it, and I'm OK with that. These guys care more about metacritic than the gaming experience. Need for Speed was twice the price of other console versions, and he's also taking credit for Criterion's work like a jackass.

How can something drag on if it's fun? Sounds to me like you're too tired to enjoy it.

Wow Moffitt is ALIVE! I was getting worried, he basically vanished after smack-talking Reggie.

Blaming Nintendo isn't going to help. Tell SQUARE-ENIX you want Wii U games, not Nintendo.

No surprise there. Gamers acted like morons when it was announced "hurp durp it's not going to sell, give us something better!". Well there you go, self fulfilling prophecy. It's not going to sell so they put it on platforms that will buy it.

@Joshers744 likewise, I'm jumping in! The GamePad + Miiverse combination is probably the best way to catch up on these old games

Bless him

Letting this game exist could be Ubisoft's apology to Ancel for the Rayman mess.

Sounds great, love their attitude. Any word if MSF2 will have leaderboards? Pretty much the only thing missing from the first game and MSF HD.

@Yorumi I agree, Dragon's Dogma vs Skyrim is another comparison

I wonder is there an article on the Sony site asking them to make an Animal Crossing-type game?

Disaster: Day of Crisis was great because it knew it was a videogame, and took advantage of that to give us more spectacular events.

Cinematic flair and exciting gameplay, like The Wonderful 101? Or does that need grenades and crying.

Something doesn't have to be realistic to give you real feelings. I felt more connected to a lost Nopon in Xenoblade than some little girl solely created to appeal to my emotional strings.

Nintendo's strength is in creating original worlds with their own unique characters and musical compositions that couldn't exist in a Naughty Dog ghetto movie backdrop. To ignore those enormous strengths for the Game of the Month #6 is just insulting to videogames and ignores everything that makes them great in the first place.

Damn it. So this is where that Last of Us tweet led to.

Super Metroid tells a better story than this review-pandering garbage.

Hahahahaha man.

I just hope Australia gets something, anything. I'll buy this or the Animal Crossing XL one, heck even the Fire Emblem XL. It's so hard to import a console because a small defect will take weeks to exchange.

My Barbie is ready

@Midnight3DS you sure you aren't a techie? Nice job pulling 25 years out of your booty.

Codemasters is dead, they've run the F1 franchise into the ground already and they are everything that's wrong with the ever-diminishing racing genre in 2013.

Take out all the cutscenes, career-based unlockables, improve the interface, remove the tutorials, remove EVERYTHING that isn't driving-related and stop treating every player like a moron and I'll buy it. Call it "Wii U - Gameplay Edition".

We do need more motor racing love but Codemasters wont be the one to provide it. There's a huge opportunity on Wii U for someone to step up and make a proper racing game with real driving being the focus, free of an achievement and trophy system.

Great review, it's a hard game to explain but you nailed it. It's nice to hear people giving this game a chance. Very worthwhile experience even if it's not the best "game".

360 version is probably identical, it's not like this game is pushing any boundaries. It uses no Wii U features at all except off-screen play and the same bottom screen from the 3DS game.

@WiiURockz i'm not judging all games, just Capcom's effort. Monster Hunter is just a Wii upgrade too that makes the GamePad feel like a burden. What's the point? It's Wii all over again where crappy clones of Wii Sports were the best use of the system. If developers don't give a damn then I wont either.

The game is unplayable to me after ZombiU, I keep holding up the GamePad to scan as a reflex. Terrible controls, Wii U games are already taking a step backwards. It doesn't even use the GamePad speaker.

They need some popular concepts to copy and paste before they can make a game

Bulldoodies. Has this guy even heard of the eShop?

Obviously he never stopped to appreciate the fundamentals of 3D camera design

The WiiWare game was incredible, flawless controls and wonderful graphics. My only problem is still, to this day I haven't been able to find one of the collectables. I swear I've explored every inch of the beautiful game but it just doesn't exist.

The character design fits the bill I think. Fast, clean, gets poop done. It's a symbol of the game. Can't wait to try this on my 3DS.

So much foreplay, my body is about explode from readyness

It's a damn email reply. Every experience I've read ended up with Nintendo replacing the games for the user. They simply aren't going to say "oh yeah, lose your 3DS, throw it away no problem" because they don't want to reimburse Joe Casual at the drop of a hat.

They'll sort the account system eventually, but so far people are worrying about something that hasn't even happened yet

HELL YES! This thing was a beast on DS, can not wait for this. It'll be so much easier now that we can export!

"New release" buzz is overrated, look at Luigi sticking to #5 in the charts for two weeks straight. Knowing Nintendo lately, people won't even know the game exists until after it's out. A game like Brain Training is a steady seller because it ALWAYS HAS BEEN, has Nintendo forgotten everything about the original DS? Brain Training certainly didn't sell millions in it's first month.

Launch timing is a load of crap, the rumour is pushing it to September which hilariously sticks it right next to Pokemon.

These guys are doing a great job, I was surprised to see Code of Princess making it's way to Europe and Australia. Keep releasing games and I'll keep buying them.

What's also strange is Mighty Switch Force HD has been rated a few weeks ago, and still no sign of it. It took Trine 2 about a month after being rated to arrive here too. There's a general wave of incompetence at the OFLC that seems to be the bigger problem.

Ken, the fee is small, but it's still larger than the amount of sales the game will get here. 23 million people means nothing when less than 100 people buy your game on the eShop. Small developers don't have the luxury of this "piddly" risk.

Plus, most of us have learned to buy from the European eShop by now. The fee may be piddly but it's the catalyst that started all this. My question is, what the hell do we do about it? Why doesn't the government care, are they just too dumb to recognise the benefits of having a healthy market?

Lego City's sales are baffling me, the Miiverse isn't too popular either. It's by far the best game on Wii U and uses all of Wii U's features very well. What are gamers doing?

The timing is a bit awkward too with Lego City out TODAY. The game is amazing and we should be playing it not whining like entitled princesses.

BTW, there's plenty of "old-school Zelda" difficulty in Nintendo Land.

January 13 isn't an early adoption, you were a month late.

The answer is shut up and play games, and lead by example. It's really not complicated, Wii U has great games. It had great launch games in fact the best launch lineup in history. Play them, ignore the crap and people will notice that.

Are you a customer or an analyst? Is Nintendo a half-hearted company or are you a half-hearted gamer? Your problems are all exterior factors, third parties were always going to drop the ball. Forget about them. Battlefield 4 isn't even out. If you really want a dudebro shooter, play Black Ops 2. Wii U has the best version of the game. If you play Metroid to feel "awesome" you're doing it wrong, that was embarrassing to read.

Damn, they toned down Traffic Attack? Sure, it was frustrating but INCREDIBLY rewarding when you finished it. The challenge was fair despite it's difficulty and it feels amazing when you're in the zone.

Improved motion controls sounds interesting, I already loved them. Can't wait to try this.

I just played a bit, through the Nursery and back to the safehouse. Nothing different at all.

Like @3dbrains I've beaten it 3 times before, no glitches. Maybe they'll patch in a glitch for us deprived souls.

I'll play it safe by not buying Battlefield 4.

@Smitherenez I got the impression Prepper was just venting and not directing that comment at your character

In that case, I won't buy Fez unless Phil Fish pays for it.

Yep, he's a wanker. He said Japanese games suck in a panel with a Japanese developer calmly listening to his drivel, just plain rude. Indie developers have a big ego problem lately.
