"I agree a Wii U version would make sense, btw. The only reason for no current plans is we've got too much work already. I <3 Nintendo."

Notch just said on Twitter (along with, before that, "I am not aware of any plans to release a Wii U version of Minecraft."). so I guess that lays this to rest, absolutely.

I was just able to redeem a $50 eShop card on the WiiU Shop, then buy Knytt Underground, but it won't let me download it right now, it keeps erroring. It bought it just fine though, I guess I'll have to wait and download it another time.

I...don't think we should take this as anything more than rumor, but when questioned semi-recently about why Minecraft wasn't on WiiU, Notch said something like "Why not?" so maybe their previous stance of "very unlikely" has become somewhat more likely. Who knows?

Oh, so there IS a problem like that. I was wondering (was trying to get into the Uplay stuff on Rayman Legends in order to redeem a code for a special character and it took a few tries). Not to mention it kept reporting network services not available... which was causing the Uplay to error out actually, I think.

Whoa. I feel like Europe has better promotions than the US, heh.

Actually, uh...you don't need a Raspberry Pi for this. You can do it with most routers, really. That's about all I'll say about that, heh.

Well that wasn't a surprise. I realize that they probably thought they'd get more funding if they uses that name, but really...that was dumb. "Hey guys, we have no rights to this name, but we'll use it anyway! No game company has ever gotten angry with that! There's also not a part of copyright that a company must defend their copyright or lose it! No sir!"

@Clavis Huh? They worked fine for me...have not one but TWO underscores in my NNID. It entered in just fine.

Ooh yeah, Mystical Ninja!

I dunno...whenever I see things like this it just makes me curious as to what it tastes like. I'm way more curious about this kind of thing than I should be.

I'm not much interested in Super Hang-On 3D, but Space Harrier 3D is fantastic. I can't wait to see what else they might do.

It's SOOO awful. It looks and feels like something they made in a weekend because Nintendo kept bugging them about making a Youtube app for 3DS.

So they were written by the same person? If you're going to say things like 'Nintendo is doomed' (basically) you could at least not insult me by being incredibly wishy washy about it.

I might use it now, since we can view videos on the Gamepad. It's also working better for me than the old version so far.

I'd definitely buy it, I know that.

@ueI That's weird, I could have sworn someone posted something like that.

'only the last one has potential'. 'none of the 3 sound promising'.

I personally think they could all be interesting.

Time to watch Maru on my 3DS!

We all know three screens are better than two!

Oh good, that's what that was for!

Huh, I thought they'd done this already.

Personally I've liked all the styles they've tried (for different reasons, all).

I actually want a grown up Link this time...the kind of more 'hard edged' looking Link design in Smash Bros has got me wondering what that'd be like.

They...probably shouldn't be calling it that if they don't yet have the permission.

Under my bed currently...I like to keep it handy as I enjoy doing the Yoga stuff (more than anything).

The Post takes a dim view of it? But it's a clear cut case of copyright infringement. It may have come out in the eighties, but they still OWN it. I mean, it's probably not hurting them all that much, it's true, but it really is their IP, their copyright. It's not like the creators of this didn't know that.

if I got this...in conjunction with my Nyko Power Pak or whatever it's called...hmmm...

"Our games aren't selling on the WiiU?"
"I know what will help that...make the WiiU version to be inferior by not including things like online play, or DLC!"

Oh man. I've...spent a lot on Kickstarters recently, haha. There's been so many interesting ones (maybe I'm just passionate about games... somehow I feel like I can't help myself sometimes). I'll have to think about this one too.

I really hope this happens, I backed this game a while back when Wayforward mentioned it on the Half-Genie Hero page. It looks super cool.

@Nintenjoe64 I vote Castlevania Rebirth as well. It's pretty freakin' awesome.

Ooh, those are some good prices. All are great games too.

That would be interesting. I'm curious to know what might be in that update.

That's the thing though right....there is nothing making you buy these games early. Just so long as games are well marked as being 'early access' then I don't see the problem.

@element187 that's good if they do, I'd rather just have the unified account though. That's better than call customer service and hopefully they don't give you a hard time.

I think it's pretty important fixing up their account system. I like getting digital stuff, I'd feel better about it knowing that if my system explodes tomorrow, I can still log in with my account and get all that stuff on a new one.

So...DOES it have dragons in it?

I don't know. I'm sure they can be creative and whatnot, that's not why I distrust them. In their defense though, the money they're asking for really isn't a lot in terms of game development. If you think it's way more than they need, do some research...you'll be surprised how much game dev can cost.

Oooh, cool. I'm sort of glad I never did end up buying it on PC then, I'd rather play it on my TV with something like the Gamepad.

$9.99? That's kind of...well...BS. I can't say I won't buy it anyway, but that's kind of a trick (assuming that it IS true and not just some mistake).

Oh my god, finally they've given some info. @_@ Thank you, I look forward to it.

I really love Yoshi's Island, and I'm trying to give this one the benefit of the doubt, but hm. I really hope it lives up to my expectations, but I don't know if it can really.

It's still a good thing sans cloud, you couldn't back that stuff up seperately before.

Huh, so is this like the WiiU eShop version of selling the alpha or beta of a game then? I don't mean this in an accusatory way, or anything like that, just thinking out loud.

Haha, I don't blame him...people bother him endlessly on Twitter, usually with stupid questions/the same question over and over again.

I have to admit I'm interested in this but I'm not so sure about buying it given the stuff that really should be in this version. Maybe if they reduce the price since (despite what they say) the WiiU version is the cut down version. Maybe it looks good, maybe the game is good, but it's kind of hard to swallow that.

@polynomer you didn't read the FAQ I quoted, eh? Oh well, whatever. We don't agree, we aren't going to agree. I'm glad you believe in them so (apparently?). Hopefully that trust is not misplaced.

@polynomer they do, if that's how your project on IndieGoGo is set up. It's a moot point, given they didn't use IndieGoGo and we don't know what they'd have chosen if they did.

"What if I don't reach my funding goal?
If your campaign is set up as Flexible Funding, you will be able to keep the funds you raise, even if you don't meet your goal. If your campaign is set up as Fixed Funding, all contributions will be returned to your funders if you do not meet your goal. Flexible Funding campaigns that meet their goal are only charged 4% as our platform fee, whereas campaigns that do not meet their goal are charged 9%."

edit
That's from IndieGoGo's FAQ page, by the way.

@polynomer Ok, on the PC thing I do think I perhaps read that wrong on reading the article once again (if the court indeed verified that the PCs were wiped that's that). It still doesn't seem 100% clear to me if that is what they are saying but ok...I'll just give you that one. Also, hey, it's good that they say they are going to refund the ones on their website, I hope that they do. The thing is...that's nothing but their word. As I said, on Kickstarter you're protected without a doubt on that much at least because there is a third party. Also, by the way, they could have went with IndieGoGo if they were having trouble with Kickstarter instead of making something that looked like Kickstarter. For a minute I honestly thought that it was some kind of embedded version of Kickstarter.

Anyway, again, as I said already...even if things did seem totally awesome to me, I don't think this is going to work out and thus wouldn't give them money. Like @WesGrogan I'm done with debating this since it's far out lived any kind of useful debate we could've had. Good luck, I really do hope they prove me wrong.

@polynomer here's a shocker for you, ready? It's my opinion! Just like what you're saying is your opinion! I'll grant you that the thing with the PCs isn't something anyone could ever prove (since it's their word). If none of it seems shady to you, great! That said, I wouldn't give money to something that to me seems pretty shady (that 'hey we're doing crowdfunding on this thing that's like Kickstarter but oh wait it's our website really' bit didn't help either...for a bit I actually thought that it WAS Kickstarter. At least on Kickstarter, I know you will definitely not be charged anything should it not meet it's goal..on their site I honestly have no clue).

Anyway, even if I didn't feel that way, I don't think that a team led by Denis Dyack can pull something like this off. It's clear that SK isn't what they were at one time, and this company staffed with a lot of SK people, also isn't what Silicon Knights once was. I think you misunderstand me, however...I'd love for them to prove me wrong on all of this, but I'm not going to donate my money towards something I don't feel is ever going to come out any way (seems like a bad investment, which again is what Kickstarter more or less is).

In the end, I don't agree with you and that's really all there is to it. Feel free to disagree, just don't expect to convince me.

@polynomer Oh my god man, I already did. If you're going to argue with me about this at least try to actually read what I'm posting. To re-iterate in the plainest of terms: At this point, I really don't trust any company with Denis Dyack in a directing/producing/management position to deliver a game that I would care to play (if they finish it at all). If you want any more details than that, try reading please. I'm done with talking about this, it's clear you're here only to argue about this (are you Precursor Games indeed...).
