Is this some kind of blood god worshipping?

I hope it plays different and better than AC3 - that game is just overproduced garbage.

Never will understand why Nintendo underpowered the CPU that much. If you want to provide new, engaging game experiences you need cpu horsepower. All those gpu emphasize on the WiiU is just for the shiny things, normally things nintendo fanboys are quick to shun.

For some strange reason I had all the SC gamecube games - and enjoyed them, even if the graphical performance was abysmal here and there. So no question I will support this game and buy it for Wii U.

If there were more players online playing Blops2 and if there were DLC I wouldn't regret for a second buying and playing that said game. Don't no why there so much hate towards it.

That's like making jokes about your customers... I think it's not funny, or maybe I'm just too german for this stuff.

What a strange Headline. English is not my first language so I'm glad even native Speakers seem not to get the idea of the Headline...

I never saw any problems with japanese games. Things went wrong when Capcom tried to do a western game (resi 6). All its flaws felt like only a western company would come up with.

In my books, most of the western developers still have to learn how to make well crafted games. I still cannot believe how anyone can think Assassins creed features fine gameplay...

Nintendos first party game output is abysmal. They need to reorganize, seriously and outsource more of their projects. Seems even a lazy "new" NSMB is too much for them. And dont get me start on pikmin game decade in the planing/making? If this stays like this we will never see a new f-zero, wave race, star fox, and especially no new IP.

No, just no.

The point is, that fish guy bashing on my beloved MH3U and I'm having a blast with the game even on my 3ds small screen without any circle pad pro attachments whatsoever... He's just a full MH noob and now whines about it. Thats why he is a douche, simple as that.

On a other note: I never have heard of games like fez, monaco or what ever bullcrap iOS shovelware. Why are those games even a topic? Why should I be worried not being able to play them on a nintendo system? Why? Life goes on.

Hey look, it's teen wolf.

My gosh, this is still a topic? Nintendo bought, no, even saved the game, so they won't release it for ps360, full stop.

What is this Fez thing I keep hearing about? A new Ubi soft petz game?

Fill in the above mentioned excuse to any Nintendo game lacking online multiplayer

I could cry out loud for they do not mention Wave Race... fanrage

Only reason I bought this lackluster system. Can't wait. Gimme naow!

Am I the only one that thinks the host's performances are mindblowin laughable? Ist hard to understand them, there is no real humour although they tryin hard. Are they trying to evoke the Steve Jobs factor? I'm sorry but broken english and timid performances are not always charming.

Just gimme a Nintendo channel and let me choose which News i want to see.

I got it for Wii U and my very own opinion about this game is: pure crap. It is my first AC for that matter. Do not see why so many are in love with this franchise. Really, really bad controls, low fps, bad game design (you are punished if you choose to fight outside of a certain area - problem is: no real hints where this area starts and ends), stupid menu over menu, bad Equipment/skill Management. Playing games like ACIII I feel western Studios still do not have a clear idea how to make a polished videogame.

I bought it at day one release and I wish I didn't. But whatever, Monster Hunter on the way. Until then it seems this console is already dead. Ports that look worse and run slower (I know what I'm speaking of, got Ps3 here), no great exclusives, crappy controller. Hardly any useful concept for implemeting dual Screen as of now.

There is really no reason to buy this thing yet especially if you got a ps3 or xbox. Personally speaking, it felt very underwhelming buying a console at the end of 2012 and still be served ugly looking visuals. I'm not a graphic whore, but it's about time games look polished... For looking at jaggies and mud again I do not need a new console.

There is no value in the 299 bundle comapred to the 349. Can't belive they dont pack in nintendoland in the basic bundle, since thats the casual bundle...

well, Nintendo saved and bought the project, so its absolutly their right only having it on their platform... shrug

Hope it gets delayed to next year - noone will care any more (noone does atm anyway) and the Wii U chapter is closed for all I care, at least in Europe.

Europe shafting has to end: Although we have to dish out much more money value to buy videogames (transfering $ to € with no adaptions - what a joke) and still pay more just comparing numbers, have delayed releases and don't even get frigging chargers. Nintendo is dead to me, they are acting like doomed anyway...

So crazy Europe not getting the AC adapter. It's not like we are already paying much more compared to US and JAP gamers for games and consoles...

And did anyone actually see the Nintendo Direct? Never have seen such a stupid, poor performed show/announcement ever. It was literally emberassing.

No full 1020p support? No AntiAliasing? What kind of "bit better than current gen" console is that? I'm sick of graphics looking jaggy and muddy. Has nothing to do with being focused on visuals, I don't need amass of polys or bumbed map textures with perfect shader, I just don't want to see graphical distortions for one more generation, serious people. PC is looking better and better...

I approve it. It's fun. Will buy it. You do too. And to all US-cry babies: this game was developed in UK, so what's wrong releasing it here first?

I feel this presenation was hardly any different compared to last year. If this were the first showing of the Wii U, all power to Nintendo, but one year has past and nearly nothing new of significance? Really? And they wasted too much time stressing they have not enough time to show all their non-existent hardcore and 3DS games.

Mario, Mario and Luigi. Booooooring.

I'm sad fans rate HoR, Castlevania etc. so low.Those are the games we need to keep 3DS actually alive.

If they were serious about the circle pad pro, there would be no need to invent this another piece of plastic to make their games playable.

And MPH gave my granny wrists. I won't let KI:U do the same to me.

It's a good thing it isn't "just a plattformer" since this genre is dead and boring. One good Mario game per generation is well enough to fulfill any platforming needs.

Oh well, thx god there are no gamespot exclusive deals on this side of the pont, cause gamestops here suck big time it's not even funny. The stores even smell bad.

Dear Capcom/Nintendo,

please release this game in PAL regions, so I can help increasing the sales numbers.

Sincerely,
a fan

Motion Controls, no matter how advanced, can never match the comfort of constantly being able to rest your lower arms on your thighs while playing... After being able to play games in this position for well above 2 hours I cannot imagine going back to SS with kind of motion controls.

If they want to keep the motion controls, they shold get rid of the fake 1:1 controls. SS had fake 1:1 sword controls since no matter how you fine-tuned the position of the sword ahead of the slash, you would always slash in the same manner. The 1:1 positioning just made adjusting to the right direction a pain.

Don't know how to rate this game.
It's typical Tales of... battle system with some more advanced features here and there, but chances are you won't care much for the deeper mechanics and just brawl/button mash, what will make this game very boring. On the other isde, the game fails to explain the more advanced mechanics appropriatly.

The voice acting is decent and it's mainly simple english to help the non-native speakers, but it's hard to get your head around the plot and world explanations and how things work together. Fontech fonbelt, sephiroths, planet storms, it's just annoying and I reached the point I don't really care what I'm doing for what reason. To make things worse, I'm right now at a point where I have to run from one point to another just to trigger a story element I don't really understand.

Definetly, this game is not for everyone. But I will keep it, since it's already hard to buy it in Europe. Some significant stores even never had the chance to sell it, cause they didn't receive any copies.

Every 20 days? Yes, thats even already too much. And if you r using rechargeables they won't last even that long. It's pointless hiding AAA battery behind a compartment you have to screw every time.

Anyone noticed the game frezzes for some moments here and there if there isn't any internet connection?

Most of you fail to realize you can't sell console on and on without selling games. That's why the Wii is a fail in some regards. That's why Sony and MS earned more money than Nintendo this generation. Mario and Zelda games not breaking the Million sales in no time? Laughable.

This thing isn't a fail for gamers, but it's a fail for Nintendo.
Anyone remembering Wii Motion Plus never really has taken off cause it just were/is an peripherical device the 3rd partys resist to support. Addons changing a console's standard will always result in splitting the audience in two groups: the one having it and the one not having it. Naturally, the customers not owning the new device will always outnumber the other group, so most companies decide not to use the new device or only will support it to a non-relevant amount, causing the device lose more and more significance. In short: I don't "hate" this thing as a gamer (I will buy it), but I already perfectly know it won't be of any importance in the long run.
Strange decisions like batteries, locked in a screwed compartment don't help either.

It's all nice and so, but capcom japan has the last word. I don't care anymore what western representatives have to say except concrete announcements; they mostly are more ill- or non-informed than most of us gamers.

Although its real time footage, it's still a trailer, hence all the camera angles and the player doing his thing there. We don't know yet what we are actually supposed to do in this environment. Maybe escaping, maybe just the opposite: following the monster to its hidden lair.

Well, I never thought this looked very well if it were pre-calculated stuff. But if this is actually the gameplay-engine without enhancements it looks ok for being on the 3DS.

@zezzy: You ever have seen a MH cinematic sequence without the hunters running from the monsters...? This movie may feature the ingame gameplay, but it doesnt necessarily mean you have to play like the dude did.

Dudes, learn about the "Lassie-factor". You cannot have full voice acting for every character but Link. It will feel silly.

And M:OM voice acting was bad for the mere reason they only had bullcrap to tell.

Don't buy this game. This game is way too short to pack its own greatness and variety. You will be left hungry and spoiled forever after finishing it.

OMG I want it naow.

There is still too much running away from the monsters in this movie, but at least we get an epic GS upswing connecting with Great Jaggi's chin (don't do this in Multiplayer kids).

This is a featured article. Thats why you don't get to know any useful stuff, especially considering the item issue.

Canceled my order: the item terror is worse and more random than ever. No word about that issue in your review, NL. MK's Item balance is a big issue among gamers. You should have mentioned it. I will never buy again any MK if it keeps up this totaly inbalanced blue shell of/flash/... formula.

Two words: Time Trial.

And the game looks really smooth. Hopefully it has some kind of hardcore learning curve beneath the wacky item war.

Just for being named "Retro" they only had to develop the retro courses. Reality is simple.

@36: I'm a grown up peson with a job and family. If I invest about 20h into a game and it's still just plain and with padding, with no flavor and gameplay flow, that's reason enough to dislike it and go on. No credit roll after 10 hrs more will change the fact that this game does not grab me. Maybe Xenoblade spoild me because it does so many things so much better.

And stop bringing PS360 into play if you don't like people complaining about the poor graphics engine: I have no other console, just Wii and 3DS. I have no problem appreciating the visuals of SMG, MH3, even Xenoblade (and WW); SS on the other side has no art style to speak of and no useful post processing to improve the visuals. Even the distant blur still does not stop the pixilation.

Maybe with the Wii U Nintendo will realize powerful hardware is not just for the extra texture resolution, it actually can help providing bigger, more detailed, immersive worlds with less loading and better AI; in general: an improved gameplay experience.
