Well, it's OBVIOUS that in Europe the price will be higher. Now Amazon sells it EUR 39,58, but the full price is EUR 44 = $ 57. Ah, the old continent...
@SilverSeraph "Nintendo know this because they've tried that strategy before. The N64 had the best graphics capabilities of the generation, but the PS1 beat it."
You have a point. I'm more trusty, now.
@Chriiis I'm not a fanboy, I'm a normal Nintendo customer who wants to know if this new console is worth my money. And not offended at all You are probably right, but I won't buy WiiU until I'm convinced by 100%. Again, sorry for my english.
@ThomasBW84 "There's also the view in some quarters that Wii U isn't starting the next-gen because of graphical capability, but I think anyone who thinks generations are defined solely by graphics is seriously missing the point. That rule might have been true during the "Bit Wars" in the '90s, but Angry Birds, phones and tablets made it less important: graphics matter to plenty of gamers yes, but I don't think they define a generation any more, if console generations are even a thing nowadays."
That's an interesting view and I would like to agree. Unfortunately I see and hear many different points out there, so I believe that for the majority of customers graphics makes a great difference. I hope you are right, however, because I think the same.
First of all, sorry for my english. Now... Well... Hit me but I think the same. Burn me, but I always thought that Nintendo was planning something else more marketing related, such (as the article explains) the loss of sales of 3DS. Stomp me, but I feel that WiiU will have a short lifespan and that it won't be as revolutionary or even 'cool' as Wii was. Forgive me, but I'm sure that Nintendo didn't know how to make a Next Gen console and throw out this one to earn some money before Microsoft and Sony, jumping this stage and preparing for the next->next gen console only after having seen the rivals. I'm not a blind fanboy, I love this company, but I can't see the point in WiiU.
I own RCR for PC (released on 9th) and I think it's a great game, besides the obvious references. I would like to see it on a 3ds in the future, because it will suits perfectly. It's really fun.
Hines spoke about Wii U before. I'm a huge Bethesda fan, love Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind and Fallout games and I hope they will make something on a Nintendo machine, although I doubt it. And about the quality, Bethesda are one of the best game developers around, actually.
Love this game. There are some flows that makes it frustrating, but it's very good. I did'nt like the amount of police around (too many, it's not realistic to find 2 or more policemen on foot in a small area and police cars everywhere), the real problem is that, since most of the streets are tight, you can easily hit a police car, risulting in an istant manhunt all around Liberty City. The rest is great.

Re: Nintendo Download: Dr. Mario, Wonder Boy, More Magic Tricks and Crystal Defenders (US)
Crystal Defenders should be on DSiware (it will make more sense IMHO), but 1000 point are too much anyway.
