I would have liked it if there had been more than one demo station set up.
Srsly, I got to the demo around 1:30 and didn't get to play a game until 5:40. Luckily the lady running our event kept the station open until everyone in line got a chance to play.
Apparenttly there were some Retro Studiios employees who came to our Best Buy. They left before I got there, though.
@citizenerased I think it's also probable that they'd like the freedom to be able to develop for a bunch of different platforms, rather than just being restricted to Nintendo systems.
No surprise here. Look, people, you need to accept that the series is just over. I know that's kinda weird, seeing as how most VG series don't really end, but it's time to let it go.
I'm really dissapointed in all the people who say that they're less interested in the game because it's not an exclusive anymore. Really? Then why the hell were you interested in it in the first place?
Definatley picking this up, no question. Was and is one of my most anticipated titles.
@Tertis Or it could mean that there will be better filtering/matchmaking, meaning you'd be more easily play with people that want to play with the same rules as you.
@CanisWolfred
Alright, so it happened. Currently it has a 77% Metacritic score, which sounds to me like receptions was pretty okay. I mean, sure, apparently anything below a 9/10 is a bad score nowadays, but still, 77% sounds like a pretty decent score to me. Edit: and the user score is higher, at 88%, close to 9/10. I'm not seeing how "no one liked it."
Edit: derp, should have actually read the article. Still, it was already known that you could unlock the AX tracks by beating all the Grand Prix tracks on the Master difficulty.
@123akis
Lol, math failure. Add the rest of the numbers, and the people either buying the game or not affected by this outweighs the number of people whining about this. And of course, many of the people complaining will likely get over their rage by the time of the games release and buy it anyway.
@NImH Exactly. It's just a delay, people, it's really nothing worth boycotting over. This isn't the first time a game has been delayed.
@Dreamcaster-X Alternatively, boycotting might convince Ubisoft that there's just not a market for Wii U games, making them abandon the platform altogether.
OMG UBISOFT DELAYED A GAEM! NO COMPANY HAS EVER DONE THIS BEFORE!
Yeah, the delay sucks, but I've seen people calling Ubisoft the new Capcom because of this. Sorry, but no. I may not like everything Ubisoft has done or is doing, but they are NOWHERE near as bad as Capcom.
@edcomics Bayonetta 2 is being published by Nintendo, so that's not multiplatform.
Seriously, people? I understand being upset about the delay, but are you really getting this upset at this game being made available on more platforms? It's not like the Wii U release isn't happening. This is worse than the complaints about the Bayonetta 2 thing.
I don't care. It still looks like a good game, doesn't matter that it's not a Wii U exclusive. A good game is still a good game, no matter what platform its released on. It's not like it's not coming out for the Wii U.
The one thing is I wonder if there will be differences between different versions. 360/PS3 don't have tablet controllers, so I don't see how that functionality will be ported.
@treeofmana As far as I can tell this game is just a port with new art assets. Which means most of the hard work involved with making a game is done. The work being done on this is not even close to the work done on a full AAA game. Maybe that's worth $60 bucks to you, but it sure isn't worth that to me.
@thelastlemming
I'm not objecting to the price JUST because I have low income. I can afford $60 every couple months. My bit about the income was just in response to Blue Yoshi. As @ToxorAxiom said, even if income weren't an issue, I wouldn't buy this game* for $60.
*Assuming the remake is just a graphical overhaul with gamepad/miiverse functionality.
@Ryno_Choryzo I have disposable income, just not much. $50 a month. I never said anything about catering to me. Just that people like Blue_Yoshi shouldn't get angry at people for wanting to save money.
@Blue_Yoshi I'm a college student living on his own. I'm unemployed, so I don't get a paycheck. The only money I get is a $50 monthly allowance from my parents. I have to spend my money very carefully. Don't complain about people being stingy - sometimes they don't have any other option.
@OorWullie Or I'll buy it when the price drops(probably used). I don't care if it's not "just" a re-skin, it's still not worth full retail price. $40-50 would be more acceptable to me.
@LavaTwilight $60 is the standard price for AAA games in the US(except on handhelds, where its usually closer to $40). Whether or not the $60 model is actually good or justified is actually a pretty heated debate. Games like this(such as the Halo Anniversary remake) usually have a lower price than other AAA games.
@AbeVigoda Subjective. The original graphics are just fine, and in my opinion look better. They have a more cartoony(not a bad thing) and timeless feel to them. The new graphics, while I'm sure are technically "better", don't look as nice to me.
So basically, assuming that there's no major changes(no new dungeons, mechanics, islands, etc.), you're asking me to pay $10 more for features I expect from a Wii U game and graphics that I consider inferior. Sorry, but no.
