Nothing wrong with the wii u launch titles....it's simple really...they are too expensive in shops and most people are buying from online retailers where the prices are a lot more reasonable.
@TourianTourist
"the Wii U is about doing different things in the same room"
I think you are missing one of the main selling points of the Wii U....asynchronous multiplayer gameplay.
would like to see euro prices in these articles for all the games....seeing as it is the main currency in Europe....but anyway. I think retail download games will almost always be high as long as high street game shops exist. Nintendo wont undercut the high street.
when he was with Microsoft he loved Kinect...now he has left he doesn't like Kinect...now he is making iPad games...he loves iPad.... I see a trend here...
From what I understand achievements are in games if developers put them in.....just no overall gamer score. I don't think that is a big loss.
And after seeing user videos of the miiverse in action I think this is the feature the next Xbox and PS will be looking at most.
Background downloads are great and all but.....what if I get the console and hit cancel update thinking I will play some games now and do the update later. Finish playing a game and turn the console off. If the console is background downloading (without me knowing it because I hit cancel) it will be bricked? That cant be right????
When will Nintendolife be reviewing launch titles? New Super Mario Bros. U has already been getting some impressive review scores...same with nintenoland
Anyone wanting to get an idea of eshop download sizes might want to check out some games on Steam http://store.steampowered.com/ Trine 2 is listed as needing 1.5GB of hard disk space...I expect the Wii U to be similar. Toki Tori 2 is listed as coming soon so no disk space requirement is listed yet.
@LEGEND_MARIOID I dont think you cant play off SD cards but you can play off an external hard drive...I remember seeing this somewhere on twitter I think. dont know how true it is .
if people think this is expensive wait until the next xbox and ps are announced....seeing as some people think they are going to be three times as powerful
Voice chat would be nice for when you are playing with your friends...like party chat on the Xbox. Not great playing with friends online and you can't chat. Wonder were saga just lazy and rushing for launch seeing as cod etc. have voice chat.
@erv I agree...I think its great news. More diverse game from more developers that wont cost a fortune to develop is a good thing. And because of the link between unity and mobile I can see a lot of developers seeing it as an opportunity to get games into both WiiU and IOS/Android markets. Ubisoft talked about this already. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-06-04-ubisoft-to-port-wii-u-titles-to-tablets-smartphones
@MariosLoveChild I think we need the pro controller for the survivors Vs zombies mode?
Or maybe that mode been dropped...have not heard alot about it. But it would be strange to give a controller with a bundle when you dont need it.
@YellowChocobo I agree but I really dont think Minecraft on the Ipad is a good example to use? Its the basic first version of the game for €5.49?....No mining or crafting...no online....
maybe the problem is with amazon.com? Amazon.co.uk are still selling it. No where in the quote from amazon does it say that a problem is with the 3DS. Its just a standard message from amazon for any product. Could be anything.
@JesusSaves the new controller has all normal controller buttons so I don't see this as a problem......third party developers seem to like it as well and have been saying all good things. Just have to hope that all that positive talk turns into games @Yogsoggoth were the specs announced???
well written impressions....but would have preferred to see impressions from someone who got to play all the demos available....I know they were not real games but still...
Good review...have this pre-ordered with my 3DS I know there is no multiplayer but is there a way to see our friends score on the challenges...like a friends leaderboard or something?
