I know people will automatically assume this is a good move by Nintendo. But there are major benefits to allowing content sharing on YouTube. Especially for smaller games (which, admittedly, doesn't apply to many of Nintendo's fraanchises). Just look at Minecraft. It wouldn't have done half as well if not for YouTube.

Also Sega has changed it's mind in regard to content sharing. They were shutting channels down and I had to stop a certain LP because of it. But because of the backlash they changed their mind. Unfortunately a lot of damage was already done.

Edit: Just to add. People now need to be more careful when making a video review of a Nintendo game. We are well within our rights to review products and share said review (at least after the release date) but now content makers need to be careful about the footage and audio they use in the backgroud. Again, bit of a shame.

Most of the time it's an automatic thing. Youtube's software will recognise content belonging to a specific third party. Some videos get through this and won't be tagged. It can be luck of the draw. Nintendo was always good with content sharing though so this is a bit of a shame.

Yea they remove all monetisation. Part will go to Nintendo and the rest will go to Google. I fear for NintendoCapriSun. Poor guy.

@DePapier Again, you misunderstood. Insomniac is now a third party developer and can do whatever they like in regards to the Wii U. However, the Ratchet and Clank series remains a Sony exclusive series. Insomniac is currently working on an Xbox 360 game which could have also come to Wii U if they wanted it to... but they don't.

@DePapier You know what, I appreciate the fact that some can't afford/don't have time for multiple consoles. And also, boycotting companies that are damaging the industry is another fair reason. But that is no reason to start slamming games that aren't on the console you DO have. Ratchet and Clank, whether you like it or not, is an extremely well made and polished series of games. It's not copied and pasted and zipped out like Call of Duty. Insomniac is a company that actually seems to care about their titles so it's really sad to see people here putting one of the good developers down, for no reason at all.

CD Projekt Red is a company known for it's amazing post-game support (for free as well) but i'm sure if it was said that CD Projekt Red wasn't making games for Wii U, all of you would come out and say the company is "rubbish and stupid" or something along those lines.

@DePapier Why? I own a Wii U. I loved Nintendoland and I know I will love the exclusives being released later in the year. But come on! The Wii U could do with some of the big third party titles here and they're not getting any.

Edit: I also own an Xbox 360, PS3 and 3DS from the current gen line-up. I have had amazing experiences on all of them. I'm no fanboy and I really think people should stop being so loyal to one company. They're missing out.

@Royalblues THANK YOU. That's exactly the same problem I have with people on this site. I remember when it was said Saint's Row wouldn't come to Wii U and some people said "good". How is it good that a series doesn't come to your console of choice, even if you don't enjoy that particular series. Idiots.

And in regards to the tagline "here we go again". Well yea, what did you expect? Nintendo once again decided to make an underpowered console, whilst console developers have been craving more power since the Xbox 360 and PS3 became more and more outdated relative to technology. The Wii U basically is "Current Gen", just with a "Next Gen" release date.

@LavaTwilight 1080 is the resolution, not the graphics. You can have some really bad looking games still use a 1080p resolution. Also, as others have pointed out, game developers obviously have dev kits for these consoles. They know what the consoles can do (maybe not to the full extent; that will come with time and practice) and it's clear they are favouring the ACTUAL next gen consoles instead of the Wii U.

@Philip_J_Reed Surely it can be both?

Knew I made the right choice marrying Tharja, Nice.

Whilst the Wii U download prices aren't very special; the 3DS prices are a lot more reasonable. Still not great, but better than the Eshop!

It is quite funny though to see "TITLE X is skipping the Wii U, TITLE Y is skipping the Wii U" followed by "Disney's Planes Jetting Onto All Nintendo Platforms This Year". Some things never change.

@Koto What do you mean they have no idea what they are doing? Have you read the comments here? Lots of people saying "we don't care". Therefore Deep Silver clearly made the right decision since the Wii U userbase doesn't care about their games.

I hate when you commenters say "who cares" etc. You should care! Sure, you may not like Dead Island or whatever but that isn't all Deep Silver is behind. They've been a great publisher of various German-made RPGs. So now, beyond Dead Island and Saint's Row the Wii U won't be getting things like Sacred. But okay yea. If you kids weren't going to buy these games anyway then all you're doing is showing Deep Silver they made the right decision.

@HawkeyeWii Why would you want it to crash and burn? Competition is only a good thing for customers.

As always theres a lot of stupid people here. For starters; Unreal Engine is not only for Unreal Tournament, nor just for FPS games. Many RPGs have used the Unreal Engine.

@Warnerdan Well done for one of the most pathetic fanboy comments in the thread. "i'm very happy with this news". Why on Earth would you be happy about less support? Dumb.

Also to those who are surprised about the suggestion that Wii U is not next gen...why? Why are you surprised? The Wii U is ONLY next-gen in terms of it's release date. Nintendo shot themselves in the foot once again. This isn't me claiming the imminent death of Nintendo like some would; but they've alienated their console once again and therefore screwed their fans out of multiplatforms once again. Good job guys.

Oh dear.

@ivanmata No they can't because a lot of the stores are physically closing. They need to sell of some of their stock to get back into a good financial position. Once they have fixed the business then they can switch back to selling at regular prices.

@mch @Morph Forgive me if i'm wrong but i'm going to go ahead and assume you two are the type of kids that support everything Nintendo does. There is a reason they got rid of this restriction so quickly... because it was dumb as balls. No other online digital store has implemented it; Nintendo were just being idiots. Glad to see some other people here realised that too though.

Just to be clear:

• Stopping kids from downloading 18+ content = Great!
• Stopping adults from downloading 18+ content = Stupid.

@DePapier I hope you don't mean me. I never said anything of the sort. Of course the Wii got some amazing games. It also got a whole lot of shovelware... or are you going to tell me i'm wrong?

@mudjo Well Deep Silver is publishing both this and SR4; so in reality it is the exact same company making the decision for both the games.

@yoshisaredragon Hardly shovelware. Not compared to most of the crap the Wii got and the Wii U is sure to get. But nice try.

@3DSonicPizzaHD How? By saying a game looks better on a 5 month old console than on a 7 year old console? Wouldn't really call that a win.

@SteveW Deep Silver are pretty awesome, actually.

Any of you Nintendo-only fans who are saying "Who cares about Saints Row" are really missing out. It's a series which takes gaming back to it's core characteristic; Fun. If you're gonna be fanboys, don't be dumbass fanboys.

Good luck guys!

@Banker-Style Brought it where?

@SilverLightning The Ps3 was never £599. It launched at £425.

@Angel792 The Xbox took nowhere near 2 years to get good games. Are you serious? Around 6 months after it launched Oblivion came out. Oblivion. Thats a huge game to get so early on in a console's lifecycle let alone an entire generation. Don't just make random stuff up. That same year it got Gears of War and Saint's Row. And they're only the heavy hitters; obviously. Plenty of other games came out in the meantime.

@PinkSpider Your friend is a massive idiot. Clearly can't take care of his stuff.

And why wouldn't people get their Xboxs replaced when Microsoft was doing it for free for those with the RRoD.

@Peach64 Exactly! People just love drama. Or they're just immature fanboys.

@SneakyStyle Well these websites are posting the bad news stories because they get hits. People click on them. Just look at the Rayman story. Not because Microsoft and Sony are paying them to. Also what news is there to report about those games you mentioned? What details do you have on Mario Kart U for instance?

Mindlessly bashing the Wii U is wrong. But so is mindlessly supporting it.

@cornishlee Look I hate Bobby Kotick, but you literally just supported everything he said. He's saying there's not enough kids playing on the Wii U. Whether thats because of the launch games, the price point, or the fact that they are still satisfied by their Wii's; it doesn't change the fact that there aren't a huge number of children playing on the Wii U.

That's all he's saying.

@Hyperstar96 Given that he's also the Skylanders guy, yup.

@Slapshot Thanks a lot for the reply. Yea I agree, I can't see the logic behind it whatsoever. In fact it seems detrimental in every single way bar one. And that is that marketing for the game wouldn't happen all at once, they would have to market it twice. However, by doing this they have upset Nintendo fans, whereas if they released the Wii U version now and kept the PS360 versions as delayed; I don't think anyone would have been upset.

I'm not the biggest fans of Ubisoft's games; just don't have much passion for any of their franchises. That said, they usually seem to conduct business in a fine manner. The only compaints i've really seen against them are the Uplay system (which i'm not very familiar with so won't say anymore about that) and the fact that they have switched to yearly releases for Assassin's Creed.

Oh well. Very strange story.

@Slapshot I don't want to revel in the fact that you may have been fighting the wrong corner for a bit there; all your comments have been mature and you took the time to do a bit of research; but i'm just wondering, what made you think it would be a legitimate delay for the Wii U version when it was so close to going "Gold"? I mean sure games get delayed all the time, but it's a special case when it's 3 weeks from release and gets delayed 7 months.

They already did get LOST, they released Via Domus. Was ok.

Lol the censorships by TBD or whoever are pretty funny. Keep them up you bucket of candy floss.

@Knux You keep saying people are overreacting. Isn't that a good thing? If enough consumer pressure is placed on Ubisoft they might actually decide to do something about releasing it sooner on the Wii U. I'm not interested in Rayman Legends. But I know that consumer power is growing larger and larger... Just look at operation Rainfall. The consumers fought and they won. So okay, you sit back and complain about the complainers. At least their complaints might mean something, unlike yours.

@DePapier Haha, its cool i'm glad you mentioned it anyway. Funny stuff!

@DePapier Please tell me you know that's a parody twitter account.

@3Daniel Great point about the marketing; i'll admit I didn't even think of it. Still doesn't excuse the huge delay though.

@Spark_Of_Spirit I agree. Funny how it's always September isn't it. If they released in August they might have an argument; but September? Not smart.

@zionich Exactly.

@Koto Yup, I agree completely a lot of it boils down to opinion at the end of the day. Oh don't worry I will definitely be buying one. I can't resist. I know I will want the games that are coming in the future so I will definitely get one. I just don't trust that there won't be a price drop or a special edition model or something before those games actually arrive! I'm trying to be smart this time (for once)

@phoenixology Not really. Those of us with an XBOX and a PS3 didn't exactly ask for this. It's never nice especially when it was so close to release.

I have to say I think there is a massive difference in attitude between those of us in Europe, and those in the United States. With good reason. Delays are hitting everyone these days but moreso those in Europe.

Scribblenauts was meant to be out soon right? Like very soon? (I may be wrong) But that just got delayed, when it is already out in the US.

Fire Emblem is out in the US, but still months away in Europe.

Not to mention the price of the console. Honestly the way I see this whole thing relates back to Operation Rainfall (to an extent). It doesn't feel nice being in the region that gets the shaft. That being said I do realise this particular game is delayed for everyone; I just feel like it's reaching breaking point in Europe.

@Koto Don't get me wrong. I don't have a Wii U, but I really want one to play Nintendo Land. However I can't justify the purchase just for that. Gotta wait for the usual suspects to be released (smash bros, 3D mario etc). And you're right about development times being longer. I just feel like Nintendo shouldn't have launched when it did. It's all well and good being first on the market and releasing for Xmas aswell but with stock problems and a lack of high quality games I can't help but feel the launch was rushed.

And another thing, Nintendo definitely need to stagger their releases. No point putting out all their big guns at the exact same time, even if it is launch. But right now there is basically nothing to look forward to in the coming months besides the new Lego game (my opinion of course).

@Wildfire Sure but he might not be referring to this. And if he was, this is "interesting" for sure. To a lot of people. Just look at the amount of replies. If it wasn't interesting then there would be a severe lack of comments.

It's just not interesting in a good way.

@Koto Right, i'm not an idiot. My point is, Nintendo keeps releasing their console at a time where nothing seems to be ready for it. Remember Mario 64 releasing with the N64? Absolutely legendary and will always be remembered as one of the best launch games ever. As will Halo for the original XBOX.

Nintendo made the mistake of releasing the 3DS with practically nothing. Making the mistake once is acceptable, they apologised and acknowledged their mistake. Yet they made the same error with the Wii U.

Don't insult my intelligence please.

@Wildfire How is this not interesting? Just because it's not good news for Wii U owners, doesn't mean it's not interesting.

@andreoni79 Maybe they are finally wising up to the fact that a console with no games is poo. Promises are great but having to wait until a year after the systems release for the game you really want is pathetic.

@Ryo_Hazuki-san That is the EXACT problem. They ANNOUNCED all these great games because they have to. The games should be here already. I'm not saying this second, but within the next couple of months. Nintendo pulled the same bullpoo with the 3DS. I remember the Paper Mario sticker star video being one of the first used to show the 3DS. When did that come out? Oh only 18 months after launch.

I know this particular game isn't Nintendo's fault. But seriously, they need to sort themselves out. Especially with Europe. Where the hell is my Fire Emblem, Nintendo?

Yea, it's only a Sonic Adventure game if it has a Chao Garden.

Please?
