Cool video but no. My smartphone can hardly get through a day without being less then 40% just using it for talk and email.

For me that smartphone wouldn't last 4 hours just for the reason I wouldn't think of it as a phone, if that makes sense to anyone.

I wonder if they count in-app purchases in that total.

A game can be free but can cost $50 in months just to beat it, get the best/useful items/outfits, or unlock all the features.

Somehow this is nothing new. The only difference is that people around the world knows the clueless gamer rather then people around them.

The Internet is the best way to gather our flaws and victories.

A Nintendo Direct that on a day I don't have to work or go to school and short notice. Awesome, tuning on my Wii U at 9:55am for this.

Back in your days the game was 8 bits and display only 2 colors old man..... I mean mole. Our generation is so spoiled with all the 3ds features lol. I wonder if he jokes on that too.

Just a random thought. I found I get alot more playtime on the 3ds on my daily commute then on my smartphone.

That's a fun way to brag and pass the bomb all in one go. Do great now and if something happens later on, you know who to blame.

Wouldn't be the first time I had to wait at least a month and a half for dlc on a Wii U game. I'm used to it since developers are still getting used to the new system (imo) and dlc is only candles on a cake.

I remember it took over 2 months for Ubisoft to release dlc for Just Dance 4 on the Wii U while other systems (including Wii) had it day one. Some times I wonder how hard it is for developers to get used to a new online distribution system.

TBH I mostly brought the game because toyrus had a sale last week for $35 on it. The game stands well on its own and dlc is not my key buying point, but it would be nice if they still release it at a later date, at least for equality/fairness sake.

And I thought Donald Trump and Paris Hilton were the only ones that can trademark words for their identity. I bet most people haven't even thought of Monteroza when WaraWara Plaza was first announced.

@snoox I got my 32GB SanDisk Ultra class 10 months ago for the same price.

I'm pretty sure by next year (or black friday) I'll find a 64GB class 10 on sale for the same price.

I wonder were the rest of the warioware fans go? You know the ones who play Warioware Snapped! for even an hour total or Warioware D.I.Y without the do it yourself. Feeling more negetives then positive energy around here.

Can't say I'll miss it since I haven't played Tri online in over 2 years and I'm loving the Tri Ultimate online community, minus the no in-game player search command to find people not on your friend list.

What I can say is I lost alot of free/sleep time because of that darn online game

Sounds like my type of game. Fun, not too long story and with alot of contents for replay. That what make up my 3ds and wii u top play list.

This is even better news for me since I was willing to pay $50 day one but let's keep that a secret to everyone.

It does make sense in a way. Like some people have said, a good amount of E3 news are leaked online days before. This lends to less hype and more buzz kills.

For the most part with NIntendo direct, the info have been tightly sealed (ex 4/17 ND) so you can expect some surprising news.

After all, almost all of us watch E3 on the internet so it wouldn't be too hard to click a link to nintendo direct. I'm pretty sure any game site (unless it's a hard body sony/mirco fan site) will have videos posted.

Interesting review and comments. I'm not too big on fighting games but this have peak my interest. Hope the eshop have a demo soon.

Can't say I blame them. On Disney XD (U.S version btw) 2/3 of the programs is live-action and 1/3 is modern cartoons. I don't think they even show original Disney characters (Mickey Mouse and friends, Aladdin, Kim Possible, Lilo & Stitch, Timon & Pumbaa, etc.) unless it's a movie.

Personally, even without an account based system (which would be a A+ btw) having digital copies is more safer to me than physical. I have yet to lose a handheld system in my years of gaming but have lost, have stolen, and misplace my physical games. I still can't find my mario kart 7 "under the tv stand".

@blacKnight samething I was thinking.

If anything bad happen when Nintendo released a "flawed" account based system, people would be even more flame happy or Nintendo would lose alot of money.

That's crazy. What next a powerbag with an outlet that carry enough power to supply a WiiU for some time, that way you can play your games anywhere.
As crazy as that sounds, I think there is actually someone working on it.

This will be useful for when I want to watch a show while playing for a limited time but don't want to end a quest and/or transfer to the 3ds just for that 30-60 minutes.

That's cool. The only time I buy a happy meal is when they have the Pokemon figures.

Thumbs up for video game IP awareness, or more childhood obesity if your a pessimist.

Isn't this something. The first nes I ever own personally that wasn't a handy down or used is getting a WiiU release on my birthday. Fyi I was 5 years old at the time and this was my most played game for the system. Fate or coincidence, still worth another play.

Also Dillon's Rolling Western when I complete at least 1 3ds game I already own

4th and 3rd paragraph to the last for the win.

I always found in my experience that more people judge pricing of a system compared to its competitors more then the system itself. One of the key reason the Wii sold so well was because it was cheaper then it's competitors. The 3ds did well with a price cut and being cheaper when the ps vita arrive with a larger price point.

If the other two consoles price is at least $200 more with no game included and the msrp is $70 (my guess), more people would pay attention to the WiiU especially if they're parents.

No point in having a war when your opponents haven't been born or even conceived yet.

I wonder if they did this to get job offers like the guy who hacked his school's computer system (before being expelled) and got around 10 offers, including on from the same company that worked on the school's program.

On a side note, I love that no one bats an eye that a 26-year-old man have a online persona of a 16-year-old girl. Things that makes you go hmm

If I can play games like Metal Gear, Monster Hunter, and Resident Evil without an extra circle pad nicely, then this should be no problem to me.

Sometimes I wonder if a developer will make a game that requires a Circle Pad Pro instead of it being optional just to gaze reactions. That would be a fun read.

After Wind Waker, Having no feet became a norm for me in videogames. In some cases I'll accept even missing limbs.

Idk I think GameStop can also try to demonstrate the Wii U more to its customers. I been to more then 6 different GameStop in the past two month that have WiiUs that are not even on. Then again it would be nice to try out a game that wasn't Rayman and videos of other games.

I don't agree with the price drop but I do agree with the cheaper alternative since PS3 and Xbox360 cost over $500 and the Wii cost have that amount around the same time. Similar effect with the 3DS and Vita with people comparing price. I can Imagine how much the PS4 and NextX cost by comparison when they release.

It's letters like this that makes me question what a nintendo fan is. The author says he's an early adopter so he should know the pros and cons from the buyer's side. He could of waited longer until more games/ games he would like are released or enjoy the games that are released.

As for the whole Mario, Samus, Zelda part, I just think back on what Reggie Fils-Aime sais about satisfying fans.

I have my doubts that the writer is interested in the Wii U innovation since 2/3 of the rants was about multi-platform games not being released and recent nintendo games not being up to par with past version in the series. Personally I prefer to have a different gaming experence then the others.

I agree with the advertising though, since I remember that the 3DS was in the same boat but with more of a spiky/sharp oar if you know what I mean.

In short, buy games/systems and support the people behind them because you want to and not because you have to, That's how people get disappointed or angry. Also patience is a virtue and no one lives on videogames alone as far as I know.

Btw not sure if this is a NA exclusive but Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed for the Wii U eshop is on sale for $29.99. Ends March 31th

HarmoKnight for me as well as the Save Data Transfer Tool since I may one day get digital copies and just give the physical ones to my gf or sell them. I notice I replay my digi-games alot more then my physical ones (kid icarus: uprising aside).

That's cool since netflix is the only one of the 3 I subscribe to. I use Tvii about 13% of the time when I play my Wiiu but it will be even more when it supports DVR features and load time update.

@Five-seveN (checks out avatar) lol so it does, like a past and future evolution.

@Five-seveN @MultiMariosonic I know that. I was referring to that even if Nintendolife rate this game 6/10 for some reason, I will still buy it since I like this type of game. It's like Rhythm Thief in a way which I also like.

And there goes two more games I've never heard of until today. Got to love the Internet.

That's one reply down, two to go with I'm guessing 2/3 of Nintendolife waiting for Fish.

Even if it got a 6/10, I would still be eager to get it. I normally enjoy rhythm genre and this will be my third for the 3ds.

@SilverSeraph I think Nintendo is more willing to help indies like Brian Provinciano then Phil fish.

If they can have a Pokemon theme park (which I want to visit someday), why not a Nintendo one. Begin daydream.

Fish should be careful what he types on the Internet. Unlike using your voice, you have time to read back on your comment, edit, and send before the world that follows your posts reads it.

FYI this is my third retype on this comment before I reply. The first two was alittle childish and/or mean of me.

I had my finger in my ears so I don't have to listen to the gloomier side, too bad that didn't stop my eyes.

It would be a nice start if nintendo or other 3rd parties had their games to try out instead of having a bunch of videos to watch and having only rayman to demo.

I was going to download Pokémon Mystery Dungeon at a later date (too many games to play atm) but that free dungeon is pushing my impulse button. Lucky we have a month for the bonus.

Lets see if sales will increase since half of the people against the restriction "boycott" the 18+ games and the other half are/were underage.

It seem as if I was mistaken thinking this was a ok series. Awell on to next game and story.

I wouldn't mind playing it if it was released. Haven't played any in the series and I'm always curious about games I never played; as long as it's on a system I own.

As for their statement, I sometimes wish they could be more straight forward with their responds. Is it spec, work, or financial issues that prevent it for being on the Wii U?

The Wii U GamePad screams "innovation" but most developers/publishers currently screams back "we don't know how".

Got to love the developers of today. when pubishers says we can't because of (insert reason), developers says we can and/or we did but the pubishers won't let us.

Nice to know it's possible though and that no developlers "disappear" after going over the higher ups

I can't really comment on the matter since this is the first time I heard of this game.

On a side note since there's no plan of a 3ds version, what about a wii u version. I apologize for my cluelessness, I don't keep track of indie games too often.

I feel so cocky with my $50 1TB external hd right now. Even more so when people complain about downloads. It like knowing a secret to everybody :3

Just as I imagined, optional and not a requirement unlike skylanders. I was hoping they would grow with exp and not currency but no problem.

Now the question is would they would release this west side and if so, can we knowingly buy the figurines we want. I would hate to do that mystery pack buy for the ones I want, and yet sadly I would still do it.
