I'd hoped that Atlus being sold would finally mean that those of us in Europe would get games earlier/at all. Instead, with Sega at the helm, it seems that the US is gonna end up in the same situation as us (or worse) which is no fun for anyone.
So I bought this lame console and now you're not even gonna give me compensation!? >:[
Seriously though, this doesn't bother me hugely, mostly because I barely touched the GBA/NES games for the 3DS and I'd rather not have a ton of crappy games clogging up my limited Wii U storage space. Eshop credit would be nice though~
Wind Waker HD is really the only game that interests me on that list. Then again, I bought my Wii U entirely for X. (If only that was releasing soon. ) Oh, and broken link in SM3DW description btw. :3
Can't wait until this releases in Europe, which hopefully will be soon. :3
@DarkCoolEdge Believe it or not, if good DLC is released for a good price, it will interest a large number of people. Atlus aren't releasing an unfinished game and then adding DLC as you're suggesting, these are just additional extras. Besides, as many people have already said, it's not like you have to buy it. u_u
@SCAR392 We already know you hate everything that Sony ever has/ever will produce and that in your mind it will always be inferior to what Nintendo come up with next, so stop ranting! >:[
I kinda feel like I should get this game since everyone else is. D: I'll probably pick it up sometime anyway, especially since I've yet to give the series a try~
None of my favourites are really on that list. D: Not sure about a top ten, but my top three would definitely be Tales of the Abyss, Virtue's Last Reward & Devil Survivor Overclocked.
@SCAR392 At this moment in time especially, the Wii U is nowhere near as good as the PS360. It can't even get developer support for their ports - what about when next gen rolls around?
and yeah, Wii U needs to either find a new demographic to target or Nintendo need to give it individuality from the Wii, since so many are considering it to be some sort of Wii add-on or peripheral.
Who cares if the Wii U "wins"? Provided Nintendo get around to releasing some good first party software, I'll be happy. My PS3/4 I'll keep for third party games, because in all honesty the Wii U was never going to be able to compete against this generation for that support, let alone the next gen.
This is a great article, hopefully we see more of these in the future from NL~ As for what Pachter says, I agree. Aside from Nintendo dropping out of the console market - I can't particularly see the Wii U being a huge success but that analysis seems slightly drastic. Still, the majority of the time he is correct and has good reasoning to back up his arguments too.
This is hilarious. Some of you Ninty fanboys would be overjoyed if Nintendo crushed your house and stole every item in your possession due to your blindness. Especially @drunkenmaster. You can be a Nintendo fan without praising every move they make, and as every company does at some point, Nintendo has made a bad mistake here. It's better to acknowledge that than buy every single one of the lame ports/games being produced by third parties, claiming the Wii U somehow has amazing games and support, and you can't possibly understand why nobody would want to buy a £300 console for half-baked ports available on other consoles for a quarter of the price.
I'm still waiting on localisations of Tales of Innocence / Hearts R at the moment, but I guess it would be nice if Namco went multiplatform so everyone can experience how amazing the Tales series is~
At least things are looking up for the Wii U to an extent at least. The only way is up! Still some good competition between the 3DS & Vita though, which hopefully means lots more awesome games for both systems!
Atlus need to hurry up and get a European sector so we can actually get some of the awesome games they develop, especially considering how the 3DS is region locked. u_u But yay, at least we're getting it this year! (Hopefully, anyway)
That 'thing' looks like a squished GBA crossed with a PSP. D: That said, considering current Wii U sales I can see why they'd turn to other devices though.
Wii U sales rise from 6K to 14K in Europe: Wow what amazing sales! Vita sales rise from 20K to 60K in Japan: lol, Sony couldn't even outsell the 3DS for more than one seek.
The Wii U needs games. Or a price cut. Or preferably both, and soon.
Those are still some nice Vita sales. If the console can sustain those sales hopefully that means more games, more sales, more competition, and ultimately, more awesome games!
Eh, it's not like $30million is gonna have a huge effect on Nintendo, especially when you consider the several billion they already have lying around in a bank account.

Re: Oh Snap, Now Rayman Legends Is Coming To PS Vita With Exclusive Content
Vita is dead? Considering it's outselling the Wii U, I wonder what everyone's stance on the Wii U being 'dead' would be. :3

I'll wait and see what happens with this; Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks weren't to my tastes, and this looks similar-ish.

Great news!
Re: Review: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers (3DS)
Pleas pick this up for us in Europe, Ghostlight. Please! The chances of Atlus doing anything are as non-existent as ever.

Re: Tales Producer Says The Series Could Eventually Make It To Wii U
@Melkaticox Did you even read the article? The majority of the Tales fanbase is based on the PS3, making it the best system to develop for.
