I see. I haven't played any warriors game. I guess it's not my kind of game then. Thanks for the heads up.

@electrolite77
The first one was to point out as to why I think Nintendo decided to link one account per console and not what everybody else is asking that they want to download their games on multiple consoles tied to their account.

On the VC cross buy issue, Nintendo just implemented NNID this gen on the Wii U and 3DS. It's still new. They can possibly implement cross buy this gen but I can see them implementing it on the next gen to avoid the complications of refunding/alienating those who already bought same games on their 3DS and Wii U. It's just a hunch but I hope they will implement cross buy in the future.

As for Sony, they profit from PS+ subscriptions beside from game sales so they're more flexible. They can offer cross buy without losing anything. Should Nintendo also offer subscriptions? For me I don't know. But I don't want to be forced to pay just to access some basic features such as online play, chat, miiverse, etc. So unless Nintendo does it better, no I don't want Nintendo to offer subscriptions.

@electrolite77
The problem with that is some people would buy a lot of Nintendo handheld consoles and home consoles and load it with a lot of VC and eshop games under 1 account and sell it at a higher price for profit. I think that's what Nintendo is avoiding. Unless they implement some kind of DRM on accounts (which isn't widely accepted) then cross buy could work. Nintendo mainly profits on their software sales so they'd want to protect that. (Although they are open for liscensing their IPs now).

In iOS and Android it works fine because they don't profit mainly from software royalties but with either hardware (for Apple), ads, music store, etc as well. Plus if you remove the account on a phone or tablet, the games and apps will be removed as well. And you don't want to sell phones and tablets pre-loaded with paid games and apps while they can access the account's emails and other accounts.

Also Pullblox World is a "different" game from Pullblox on 3DS. They have different architecture/OS. What's the same is if you buy a game or app on Android Play Store in your Nexus 4 and you CAN download it freely on your Nexus 5 (or in appStore in your iPhone 4 to your iPhone 5)

I think it's good to buy digitally now with NNID already in place. I think our purchases especially VC games will carry over on the successor of the Wii U/3DS provided they are Nintendo published games.

@GuSolarFlare
LOL I meant emotional. I edited my post just in case there are other meaning of "emo" I didn't know of in what I wanted to say. Haha!

@World
I can't really find the right word honestly so I settled for "emotional". It's like I get emotionally involved with how the character would probably have felt coupled with the mood that the music brought. I was also inspired in some way. I was 7 In SMB1, I was like "okay I saved the princess. I'll make another run." But in SMB3, it was different the first time. I think after that I went looking for my first real world princess.

Watching the ending again made me feel what I've felt 25 years or so ago. But it's funny thinking about it now.

Cool. Though I'm not hyped on this game. I personally prefer if we get a monster hunter-like game playable with zelda characters. And Samus, and Kid Icarus, Bayonetta, Fire Emblem chars and ... wait. Super Smash Hunters?! LOL

Seriously what turns me off in this game are the hordes of enemies which is just there so there's something to slay. Sure you can increase the difficulty but it doesn't really change anything. I still think it will become boring after a few hours of gameplay.

LOL. I love it! My favorite and the best Super Mario game ever! It has also the best music among Super Mario games that blend well with the game (it felt right and good).

This is also one of the first 2 games that I went emotional when I was a kid (when I saved Princess Peach). the other game was Tsuru Pika Hagemaru: Mezase! Tsuru Seko no Akashi on the last scene before the final boss fight.

@Josaku
I agree. They need a unified OS for it to make sense.

@Tlink7
They have different codes or programming. It's like you buy watchdogs on ps4 and expects it to be free xb1, pc and wii u. It could only make sense if they are of the same OS. Like an android game to another android phone/tablet. Or on iOS game to different iPhones and iPads.

How much on NA? I gotta admit it's epic. I might get this along with Shantae on Wii U if it gets at least a 9.

@AJWolfTill
So I'm not missing a lot if I don't play Origins and just buy Rayman Legends? If that's the case then you're my savior!

I'd buy rayman legends no more than 15 euros on eshop if sale comes to Europe. I still can't find rayman origins on wii disc at less than 20 euros.

I'm not hyped on this game. It will be repetitive and will become boring pretty quick judging by the gameplay. I bet this won't get an average rating higher than 7 across known gaming sites. Although multiplayer could save this game.

I hope Rise of Lyric won't disappoint. I didn't like StLW demo and I didn't want that Olympic Sonic.

So we'll get Wii U N64 VC on its 20th anniversary?

Wii Sports Club! Still no Castlevania 3 NES on Wii U VC though. 1, 2, and 4 will remain on my wishlist until then.

@FalconPunch
Eh I said they should make a short video review like IGN's to go along with their written review. I didn't say they imitate how IGN makes their reviews.

I don't find IGN video review format bad. There are just bad video reviewers on them but not everyone.

@bizcuthammer
Thanks. I just checked some gameplay videos. It looks awesome! I'll still research more about the game and it's devs.

I'll get Shantae for Wii U. Maybe Shovel Knight if it will get at least a 9.

@ToneDeath
I agree. It would have been better as is if the guy are on the right side or left and not taking the center screen. I want to see those gameplay too that he's talking about.

@PuppyToucher
Yeah I'd like them to make video reviews and make it short just like on IGN.

@Grumblevolcano
Yes we don't know it yet but what I read from those who are against the inclusion of the car is, as long as they don't see it when playing online then it's fine for them.

As long as the car have the same stats as one of the karts like the coupe, I'm okay with it. Also, this will be a non-issue IF those who don't download the DLC won't be able to see it on online and will be replaced by something similar to the car on their point of view.

I'll play her original costume but I will try Samus' costume. Peach costume is god awful imo. I don't mind Link's costume at all but I wish they went Zelda costume instead.

I've never played any Kirby game to be honest. I'm still looking for Kirby's Epic Yarn new and below 20 euros though. I can't wait for Yoshi's Wooly World.

While I don't care if it will be playable online, I still hope it won't be for the sake of those who don't want seeing it online publicly. I can understand the purists not wanting it on a Mario Kart game.

@Kirk regarding the unified account system.

I think Nintendo wanted it to be tied to one console only to avoid piracy or others making a profit selling Wii Us at a higher price filled with digitally downloaded games from one source account.

I think it's good to buy digitally now with NNID already in place. I have high hopes that our purchased Nintendo published games on the eShop will carry over to the successor of the Wii U provided we are using the same Nintendo Network ID. It could still be tied to one system by then.

It would have been a Day1 for me but I've too much to play right now. I'll surely get this later. I've already bought it on Steam ages ago.

@Kirk
Didn't you think Nintendo considered 2 or more gamepads support before they've finalized the product? It's impossible they didn't. It's just not feasible. Most of us Wii U owners and even non-WiiU owners have thought or wondered about it at some point about having 2 gamepads. It's a no-brainer it could have been more expensive. There are a lot to consider than by just including multiple gamepads support. Any console maker will aim to sell their consoles as cheaper as possible to attract buyers even selling it at a lost. We all know that.
Two gamepads are still possible on the Wii U. But I'm betting next gen will surely support it if they are still including the gamepad on their vision on the next console.

O'Neal on 3DS? System seller!

Anyway to import these Miis or QR codes to the Wii U? (no 3DS)

PS4ExtremePatriot in the IGN comments section even said while he is a PS4 guy and will never buy a WiiU, he said Nintendo clearly won. He is an extreme PS4 fanboy.

Wow Reggie kept his promise on VC games. NA eShoppers must be happy.

@Olmectron
I think there's another Pacland made which resembles the pacman on smash. Maybe that one is what they're talking about. I'm not sure.

I couldn't wait for the review before I left. I'm glad I didn't buy it. Anyway, there was a pacman I've played on the PC back in the 90s. It was Halloween-themed with graves scattered in the maze. I did like it and the graphics looked similar to one of the pacman games in the GBA collection.

@C-Olimar
Yeah because it is possible to flip the screen upside down so you can hold the gamepad upside down. It makes so much sense.

It's free so I can't complain. I wish there's an option to split the screen on the TV and gamepad. Or rotate vertically holding the gamepad vertically.

Also clicking the right analog stick will rotate the screen 180 degrees which I read from a NL comment.

PacLand review please before the promo ends.

Anyway, still no PacLand NES VC review? The promo discount ends in about 3 hours here in EU.

Anyway, a gamepad with HD resolution and HDMI port? so you can basically use it as a replacement for your TV screen.

I don't think the Wii U will be able to handle 2 gamepads for resource-hungry games. MK8 couldn't even handle gamepad + TV without affecting frame rate and/or resolution. It could work for party games like Nintendo Land but it's just a waste of time for the developers and for Nintendo. They need to focus on making games first for what we have now.

Although I could see it possibly being implemented on the Wii U's successor.

I'd like them to sell an extra gamepad though just in case we break our gamepads.

I still wear my Fit meter regularly. Although I've already returned the balance board a month after I registered the fit meter to get the free game.

Still waiting for a brand new cheap original balance board. Wii Fit Plus white bundle for Wii is 60 bucks I'm still waiting for it to drop to 40.

LOL yeah. I agree with the first two posters.

Did they announce a DLC yet?

http://m.ign.com/articles/2014/06/18/knex-unveils-a-new-line-of-super-mario-building-sets

Want!

For sure:
Wii Sports download
Bayonetta retail if available on 2-disc else download
Captain Toad (tbd if retail/dl)
SSBfWU download

Probably:
Hyrule Warriors
Sonic Boom
Project Cars

LOL verry pun-ny.

I'm glad I didn't buy the pacman NES and bought this instead. Now I'm not sure if I'm gonna get PacLand.

@Emblem
3DS VC have nothing this week for EU.

Vertically scrollable icons/list (kinda like windows explorer) to better organize games and apps and not windows or pages. And add folders with it.
