Still waiting for EU Wii U... I'd like them to make a new game/IP/Character with a similar concept then later make a game with these characters from various games teaming up to face a common enemy. Kinda like Konami's World on the Famicom.
@mch @antdickens @Ralek85
I guess rear view on the gamepad could affect frame rate though. The map on gamepad and the Horn button doesn't affect that much. It's also unfair for the 2nd-4th player. Unless it's for single player only.
@King47 Ha! I was about to make a comment about it. I'll wait for amiibo myself. These toys mentioned in the article would cost 12-20€ anyway in Europe. I've seen some with a different licensee and they cost that much.
@sinalefa Thanks. I didn't see one on GameStop. And they were selling the used other RE titles for 25-30 euros so I didn't buy any. Amazon is selling at the same price brand new but still not getting it at that price point. I'll check archives though if it's cheaper.
@unrandomsam Do we have a list/discussion of these 50Hz/60Hz games in the forums or what's the impact/difference in gameplay? Link would be appreciated.
Good review! I did like the Famicom one back then and I was looking to get the SNES one but I'm not willing to pay that much. I will wait for a sale. This one however is different but still not sure if it's worth the price.
@aaronmclaren I don't think so unless you're a big fan or collector. If it's 20 pounds/euros more then I'll take back what I said on my first post. I thought it will be 10£/€ more like other limited editions.
@Kolzig @Pahvi Nintendo did open up a website for Nordic regions to register Mario Kart 8 for the free game promotion. If they'll do the same for the Ganon DLC of Hyrule Warriors, I think they will open a website for it or re-use the one they've used in Mario Kart 8.
When I'm cleaning my gamepad while switching it on (so I dunno exactly how to replicate this bug again but it happened 4 times already with the last one being last night), sometimes the left stick gets stuck (on the system not on the gamepad itself) and the hand cursor on the screen keeps going up. I can scroll down but when I let go of the left stick, it goes up again. I'll need to put off and on the console again to fix it.
@Spuratis Nice! I've stopped buying games on Steam for a while. I don't feel like playing some indie games on PC. I think some of them feel right playing on consoles. Plus I wanna support the Wii U. thanks for the info. I how they bring it to the Wii U soon!
I just played my first Monopoly game the other day and I was hooked. I'm already looking to purchase our own so I might get this or look for the Mario-themed one.
Omfg I've played Kid Dracula a lot on famicom! I dunno if it's the same on the game boy. I've never finished the last stages because I couldn't understand Japanese. Although my older brother did a lot of times because he knew the sequences to the answers on the Q&A part.
Did they ever released it on NA or EU? Must play it again!
I will get this game for half the price or if Nintendo offer to give WWHD for free if you purchase it within a month at launch. I'm hoping the Direct will change my mind and convince me to buy it regardless.
While it is really a missed opportunity of not including online coop on Hyrule Warriors, you have to understand that it will take more time to develop such feature for a game designed to be a local co-op in the first place. It could have been delayed until next year. Anyway, I facepalmed on those people who thought Super Mario 3D World would have worked with online coop (lengthy explanation so don't ask).
There are console owners (parents mostly who bought it for their kids) out there that don't bother or don't even want to know the technical know-how on how to expand the storage space of the Wii U or use the eShop. It was really a bad decision releasing the console with only little storage capacity. That 8gig basic model is an abomination. They should discontinue it already and release only the 32 gig and higher. Nintendo is trying to cater on those kind of users by releasing retail versions of originally download-only titles. Plus Nintendo is trying to fill those "empty spaces" on the shelves of game stores. That's what I think.
Edit:
Also as mentioned by others, it's more like an awareness campaign to show these games exist. (As I mentioned earlier, some users may not even bother to access the eShop).
I can wait one month. They could be waiting for more Wii U sales before launching Toad. Let's face it, most Europeans especially UK prefers PSBoxOne anyway.
@sinalefa I'm sure watchdogs 2 won't be coming to WiiU so I will not buy the first one when it comes out on the WiiU. I just bought Rayman this month so after that no more Rayman for me. The only game I'm looking forward from Ubisoft is the 2D Prince of Persia. The rest, I don't care anymore.
@Genesaur Yeah I hope Bayonetta will get at least half the treatment. I'm more interested in what I've seen on Bayonetta than HW. I hope the direct next week will convince me to like Hyrule Warriors.
Okay, that looks awesome. I will try to find MH3 on the Wii U but for no more than 20 euros. I never liked the demo but I've been reading a lot of comments that it is addictingly fun.
This game, W101, Trine2, Sonic The Lost World, Rayman demos and others have turned me off from buying those games. LOL. I will never download eShop demos from now on. They've turned me away instead of luring me:)

This game, W101, Trine2, Sonic The Lost World, Rayman demos and others have turned me off from buying those games. LOL. I will never download eShop demos from now on. They've turned me away instead of luring me:)
