Assassins Creed 3 is definitely the last one for me. I understand the need to shake things up, but the execution was just poor and I hated Connor as a character. The game had a laundry list of problems apart from the bugs.
The series peaked with Brotherhood, but the story missions in that game were pretty lame.

I looked at the list of unreal 3 games and we're not missing much. I understand that consoles should be as open to different ideas as possible, but cover shooters and third person hold forward games have been done to death.

This is like the thinkgeek april fools where you're depressed that it's a joke, instead of relieved

AAA!

All eleven FFs on WiiU

You guys talk wayyyy too much about the number at the bottom

Looks like GTA2

@invmat 3DS has its own display. There's no reason for it to be converted from NTSC to PAL or to use either format in the first place

@GeminiSaint more game modes = more work hours.

@CountEkkiM because 3DS has a ton of games, no Nintendo Network integration, and this way is pretty easy.

The mobile aspect is great, but if you NEED to read Miiverse when you're not on WiiU, you have problems.

@Pixelroy The kiosks suck because there are no games in them. Nintendoland should be in the tray and you should be able to at least see miiverse.

They had 12 kiosks at the Nintendo World Store (with rayman and videos) and 4 actual systems with Nintendoland, and guess where everyone was lined up?

@rambosdad They said it's coming in April. https://twitter.com/BitTrip/status/317297412131651584

Wii Fit U will do it. I'd blow $60 on the digital version. Not sure how much they want.

I honestly don't care what games AREN'T coming out on WiiU and I'm tired of seeing articles that say this. Multiplatform really means dual platform, and that doesn't bother me.

@tanookisuit
scroll to the bottom, click "See All" (Browse all eshop content) then in the Sort By hit "Name"

SO HARD

@mariobro4 In the next gen the CONSOLE will wait while YOU load

If any dev wants some help making a game I do UI and CSS and think this would be fun

@liavcol Yeah I was bothered at first but I got used to it.

Rhythm is not a "natural sense." It's a skill and it's taught. If a rhythm game doesn't attempt to teach you how best to play, it's a poor rhythm game.

There's no instinctive rhythm. That's silliness.
And tone-deafness is something else altogether

I got this from origin and it just didn't work out. Maybe I am just not a car guy.

Driving was very difficult because the accelerate button is the equivalent of slamming a gas pedal to the floor. So I drove around by tapping the gas. Motion control steering was too sensitive and the stick wasn't a great deal better. I imagine trying to cram the totality of a steering wheel into an inch long stick isn't easy.

The touch screen features were very odd. At first I was surprised that there was no way to turn on the map. Then I tried playing with the wii remote (no motion steering, despite the enabled option), and suddenly they came on, but the gamepad driving controls needed to be enabled.

With the map at hand, I couldn't find a whole lot to do. I hit cop cars and ran past speed cameras, but races seemed to be pretty hard to find. The open world concept is usually pretty cool, but I think an old-fashioned menu might work better here.

The sports cars are (sorry) really ugly, at least from the back. One of the devs said you could play "any" car in the game, so I assumed I could be a taxi or a van, but that didn't work out. Back to moron driving games like mario kart and cruisn usa for me!

@Intrepid Ten years from now, someone will want to play a Nintendo game, but can't because Cthulu ate the power grid.

Who knows what will happen in ten years.

This makes me want to make a game but I know eff all about game design

If the game has online multiplayer and/or I'm never going to sell it, I may as well download it. This only really works on 3DS since the SD card is cheap to upgrade.

Used prices and sales make it cost-prohibitive, though.

oh and http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=megaman+toys&sprefix=mega+man+%2Caps%2C260

There are plenty of normal-looking Mega Man dolls available, .e.g http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10828395

Nice photo

So Nintendo should have more VC games. Their SNES offerings are paltry.
No FFV? Starfox? Dragon Quest? Earthbound?

The best thing about this cake is you don't have to horizontal slash then vertical slash those piranha plants, you can just eat them

creepay

This gives me the urge to play the game again... but I must resist, as it will eat my life.

And during the "drought" several games have been released. They're not first-party, they're not what was promised, and most are download-only, but they do exist.

There are few ways to manage release schedules effectively:
1. work employees to death
2. release bad product
3. delay finished product

Anyone have more? 1 & 2 go hand in hand and were clearly required for WiiU's christmas release. So complaining there are too many games or not enough games are due to the problems of being human, i.e. - it ain't done yet.

When it's done, don't complain that you can't buy seven new games at once. No one's forcing you.

I spent about 3 months obsessing over Puzzle Swap, walking my 3DS like a dog.

The thing cheats. Repeat pieces are far more common than new pieces.

New puzzles and purple panels mean I will never complete the original puzzles, because I will keep getting repeats as I lack the purple ones.

At least Find Mii is possible without constant streetpasses.

Look out for some tiny heads and massive chests, Contra fans

@SkywardLink98 Now that the dev has finally been honest about the reason for not releasing it.

This is more an indicator of the kind of articles that readers are interested in (NOT "middling game sequel skipping wiiu").

You think with all this gaming "press" someone would have asked Nintendo or found out what the problem is. Instead we get @Mr_G spreading nonsense

Have you guys seen Emperor Vo on Miiverse? He draws these brilliant surrealist pieces and is really amazing with the medium

The problem with old ports is 1) they're old and 2) they're $60.
EA's selling Need for Speed for $30 on its Origin site right now, though.

@DarkKirby I think wooing publishers is a factor, but not the only one. I think the catch-22 "Wii U isn't selling enough because Wii U doesn't have enough games because Wii U isn't selling enough" is the main reason publishers won't invest and I see it being the same down the road for future systems.

That is one ugly baby

@Kroisos what Kroisos said
I'd buy a download code for a system I own in advance

No real loss, but no one says a 3DS game must make use of the 3D effect. Fractured Soul doesn't, and none of the VC games do.

If I'm getting an external HDD, it's gotta be white and under $50, because I bought the basic, because wiis are white and I am cheap.

I'd rather play as the old dude in the cave.

Why must games fetishize youth when old people are perfectly good at murdering moblins?

I demand to see a son hack skyward sword so his father can play as the old cave dweller!

It's my dying wish, son. Please call me.

Not at this rate. I'd be happy enough with non-ambassador GBA games like Aria of Sorrow

Demo? What demo?

This is just the calm before the DOOM
