Despite our mixed feelings for CoD (judging from the comments), this is actually quite the blow as even a slimmed down version of it was available for the Wii.
I don't think the Wii U can really compete with the PS4 at $350, with a mere 32GB storage and little to no 3rd party support. I hate to be the one to crash the Wii U's party but at least for me, the PS4 offers much more value at the current price range.
@Rief True enough I suppose. Skylanders is for people that can afford to do this sort of thing or who have incredible self control so that limits the audience by a lot.
@DESS-M-8 In the US a Wii U + Wiimote + Game = roughly $450. Now, a PS4 will be $50 expensive sure, but it has 3rd party support, which makes it the better purchase in my mind for the extra $50.
True enough. Not sure if I can but two consoles (definitely not during the same time) but the PS4 is definitely the priority here. Sorry, Nintendo, but without 3rd parties I'd rather pay $50 and upgrade to a PS4.
Can't help but laugh at the people blaming the devs/publisher. If no one buys it on the Wii U, no one get's it on the Wii U. It's how this stuff works.
I hope the 3DS' announced games get some attention. With Pokemon releasing in october and Zelda releasing in the holiday season they need to give us some details :/
@bunnyking That'd be interesting... stamina added a level of difficulty to the game I liked. Without it I'll just end up holding the run button the whole time.
Alan Wake, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, and Guild Wars 2. Picked up the bundle for Alan Wake on humblebundle.com/weekly and I'm close to getting my next ascended in GW2 so I'll be going for that all weekend.
@MarioFanatic53 Yes they do. We have 0 information on LoZ 3D, and no information on Yoshi's Island. I'm not saying announcements, just information on previously announced titles. The 3DS has had a flurry of announcements but little information on those. The Wii U has a couple of announced titles too, but no information on them, and they both need attention. They aren't competing for conference time this year, so what's the problem with giving them both attention?
@seronja The reason for DLC is there has been no proven market for it, so all of the devs/pubs are playing it safe until someone works up the nerve to do it. Lame I know, but I find it understandable.
@MarioFanatic53 ... Lol, wouldn't it be better if the Wii U and 3DS were amazing AT THE SAME TIME!?! I know, far to radical for our human mind to process, but with a good release schedule both consoles could shine at the same time. Now, you do realize that they haven't shown us anything about most of the games they've announced? The Wii U needs announcements, and the 3DS needs elaboration on previous announcements.

It'll be interesting to see how Nintendo approaches free-to-play. F2P can be very good, but if done incorrectly, be awful.

I'd get the VC release if it was real (Don't own a Gameboy, sorry).

SkywardLink98 commented on First Impressions: Skylanders Swap Force:
Sounds interesting for sure. The first game was pretty fun, and this seems to change enough up to warrant a new purchase.
@Rief Well, it's not entirely Activision's fault because when you need figures the prices are bound to be high.

Legally speaking, you never buy a game, just license it. At least that's what I've read in the back of game manuals.

Makes sense to me. It's not EA's job to build the Wii U up, it's their job to keep it up once it is.
