I have about 5 surveys on there for games I've never purchased. I tried to fill one out but it keeps kicking my back to the home page. Obviously, I'm OK with that (I shouldn't get coins for that anyway). But I can't register any of my new game purchases... gotta' get enough coins to get that gold nunchuck!
In the end, this and NSMBU are the most fun I've had playing video games in a long time. That's what has really sold me on the Wii U, I feel like video games are fun again.
Poor economy, higher price on the system, higher price on the games, and a bundled game that is more robust than Wii Sports.. I can see why most people are only buying 1 or 2 games. I bought 4 with my system, but really SMBU and Zombie U were the only 2 must haves for me.
Yeah, and it should have officially licensed cars. And the Wii U can incorporate Google Maps and let us chose courses from all over the world... Wait a minute, that last part would actually be really cool!
Ohhhh, so the plan is to gauge how receptive PC gamers are to a fan-made game. That sounds like a very well thought out idea. Clearly, Capcom has their best people on this. I would use the same group of individuals that decided to put DLC on the disc; clearly they're the best in the business.
@bobbysanders If you're going to ban Nintendo for supporting the laws of the country they're based in, here's a list of other companies that are based in Germany that you can also avoid for "supporting" censorship: Merck and Bayer (you'll be fine without medicine!), Adidas, Puma, Mercedes, Audi, BMW, VW, and the Deutsche Bank (you should probably avoid any business that ties with this bank as you don't want your money to get back to them!) You should probably avoid chocolate all together just to be safe.
I think I'm the only person in the entire universe who can't get into this game. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but I just can't play it for more than an hour. I feel like it should have online multiplayer.
I finally had a chance to play this game. Had to beat Mario first and, you know, make a living and stuff. It's a great game and a return to the roots of the genre.
@luminalace The problem with that information from Gamestop is that: 1) They cut preorders off on the Wii U very early on (I believe it was within the first 48 hours). 2)Generally speaking the amount of people preordering games is up hundreds of percent over 6 years ago. Which also makes that information not entirely accurate either.
Unfortunately, there won't be accurate information until we see actual launch sales figures. Which I do believe are going to be very good and will reflect what you stated in your post.
I'd like to see how many in range of 20 - 29 and 30+ want a Wii U. I'm 34, and got mine on launch day; it brought back all the memories of getting my first NES, SNES, and N64. This is the most I've enjoyed a console launch since the SNES.
I'm sure that Nintendo wants to ensure that their network is secure and reliable before they start adding too many features. We'll see cloud features in a future update. I'd rather not have some features at first over having everything right away but the network crashing every 5 minutes.
I really don't care either way. I never once cared about unlocking an achievement/trophy, but i know some people do. It won't hurt anything to add them in someday.

I'll be more surprised if Namco doesn't port this to the Wii U.

Bad form Nintendo, bad form.

So if I preorder I get a condom for my 3DS?

Re: Some Euro Wii U Buyers Reporting A Distinct Lack Of Nintendo Land In Their Premium Bundle
Well, this certainly explains why I got 500 copies of Nintendoland in my deluxe edition.
Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. U (Wii U)
Great review, couldn't have said it any better myself, which is probably why I don't write for a website.
Re: Wii Mini Is Official And Has No Online Connectivity
Do you think they'll possibly make an external device that will add online connectivity, like the early model 360's?
Re: Wii U GamePad Offers Nine-Axis Controls
So what this article is saying, is that if I hold the Game pad by crotch I'll go sterile?
Re: Rumour: Yoshi's Land Coming To Wii U
I heard it's going to be called Yo! Shizzes Island and that it's going to have a more "urban" feel.

She should be playable,so she can make me a sandwich.
Re: The Godfather of Video Games Is Baffled By The Wii U
I wish he would have elaborated as to why he felt that way. Saying that it baffles him, just makes him sound old and out of touch.

3d bores me. I'm assuming it's because I'm a defective human being.
