C-Threep

I clicked on the article because I wanted to see people complaining about Nintendolife. C’mon folks, just skip over the article if it doesn’t interest you. Nobody is forcing you to come to this website, let alone read an article you already know you don’t want to read before you even click it.

@StephenYap3 I would argue that the weapon durability mechanic added a huge layer of strategy to the game because it forced you to use certain weapons in certain situations and save them for the right time to have a competitive edge i.e. using fire weapons in cold climates to instantly vaporize enemies, using long spears when you need to keep your distance, etc. It kept you on your toes when a good weapon would break and made the combat quite varied.

Looks like a fun game that I’ll pick up eventually.

Write an article at the end of 2018 comparing all of these points to what actually happens. If Ninty delivers on half of what you hoped in the article, I’d call that a tremendous success.

Regardless of what people want, Nintendolife has already reported on what Aunoma said in April...he thinks open world Zelda games will be the new standard. So there's your answer. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/04/aonuma_says_that_open_world_is_here_to_stay_in_zelda_games

@Kalmaro Throw Mario Tennis in there too..

I say it counts just as Wii Sports, bundled with the Wii, also counts.

@Kalmaro I tried to follow the conversation, but there are a ton of posts. It seems as though you've been making some phone calls and trying to find the answer. This may help: Regarding the legality of emulators, the United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit ruled the following when Sony tried to sue Apple for selling software that emulated the PS1:

"Sony understandably seeks control over the market for devices that play games Sony produces or licenses. The copyright law, however, does not confer such a monopoly."

@bolt05 Making a backup copy of a game is actually 100% legal. Distributing it in any way is 100% illegal.

https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-digital.html
"Can I backup my computer software?
Yes, under certain conditions as provided by section 117 of the Copyright Act. ...
Under section 117, you or someone you authorize may make a copy of an original computer program if:
the new copy is being made for archival (i.e., backup) purposes only;
you are the legal owner of the copy; and
any copy made for archival purposes is either destroyed, or transferred with the original copy, once the original copy is sold, given away, or otherwise transferred."

@Danpal65 Fair point. But the emulator that Apple made (in partnership with Connectix) was a $50 software that allowed you to play PS1 games on a Mac computer. It was ruled as totally legal and Apple made a few million dollars on it before Sony bought out the product.

For clarification, I would never play an emulated game without ripping the ROM from the game I own, I'm simply saying that emulators are legal and can in some cases help companies who sell their consoles at a loss by driving up software sales.

Just a friendly reminder that emulators are 100% legal (see Sony vs Connectix court case) but it's the downloading of ROMs that is illegal. You can, however, legally rip your own games and play those ROMs on an emulator, no problem. But if you then sell the game you have ripped you then must delete the ROM.

@Wolfgabe Did they even print one million copies of Prime Trilogy? That crap was hard to find at leas than $70 used for a long time.

This game, man. It's just so good. I played it a year ago for the first time and it made it into my top 10 games of all time.

I find these complaint comments rather amusing. Sure, if an individual person decided the order then maybe the flack is justified, but the fact of the matter is the whole darn community voted and WW:HD got the most votes. So obviously a ton of freakin people think it's a great game.

And if your favorite Zelda didn't make the list, so what? Does that make your favorite game less fun? Chill.

Lovely intro song.

These levels are amazing to watch, in my opinion.

They are fun games, but I already bought them on the 3DS. $4 is a perfect price point though, I suggest you buy it if you haven't already.

Thanks for the good content.

I love this game, though I've only played it for about 3 hours. Online is intense too, it adds a lot of value to the game for that small $15 price tag.

Looks awesome!

Day one. More hyped for this than any upcoming Wii U game.

This game is in my top 10 favorites of all time. The atmosphere and inventory system were brilliant. Not just because the inventory was managed on the gamepad, but the fact that you could only have 6 items readily available at any given time. If you get in an unsuspected frantic fight with 3 or more zombies, you might use a flare and grenade immediately, then get hit a few times and use your only medpack, and before you know it you have nothing but a pistol on hand and you've got to quickly go through your backpack to replenish the 6 slots - all while fighting zombies. (Sorry for the run- on sentence)

So very excited for this.

@Tsurii that made me LOL.

This review got me more excited for the game. And I must admit I'm glad they have the first bit of the game available for free download so I can try it out. Otherwise it might be a year or two before I decide to fork over the money for a used copy.

Looks quite fun. I love me some couch multiplayer.

I recently played through Steamworld Dig (got it with the Nindie Humble Bundle) and I'm very looking forward to Heist!

ZombiU is one of my favorite games of all time. The tense atmosphere of the game was achieved rather perfectly by only being able to have 6 items accessible instantly on the touch screen, so you really had to prioritize what you'd keep on hand and what you'd keep in your backpack. I'm on my third play through of the game and I know it's one I'll play for years to come.

@chardir someone killed me with a nozzlenose once. Yup, I remember specifically being like "woah, was that a nozzle nose? Hm. Well I'll be darned!"

Really wishing I was getting Mario Maker today, and this level sharing community sounds awesome. But alas, the game shall be an eventual buy for me.

Looks pretty rad. Certainly reminiscent of Doom and Wolfenstein.

Cat suits all the way.

Tough call between Super Mario World and Super Mario 3D World. I chose Super Mario World.

Looks right up my alley. It's nice to see that a seemingly polished indie game has made it to the Wii U. We get some good ones, but too often there's a dud.

Glad to see these tweaks and improvements. Now to fix the online connectivity issues....

Looking forward to buying this games day one. It looks masterful.

Looks pretty fun, tbh.

You're kidding me! I just bought RE Mercenaries for $15 on eBay two hours ago! I hope the seller sees my message to please cancel my order.

Learn something new every day. I had no clue Mario Bros 2 in the West was a re-skin of a different game entirely.

I could get fired and/or sued if I talked about some basics of my job in an interview.

What's in the box???

A Red Snapper, very tasty!

@OorWullie is that a setting I would change on my Wii U? Sorry, I ain't all that internet savvy.

I was literally just being all sad inside about this. I just spend $30 just for a copy of Perfect Dark and expansion Pak for my N64. And an additional $10 for Jet Force Gemini. Blahh!!! This needs to be on the Wii U!

Child of Light for just over $3??? I recommend any fan of RPGs or adventure games go buy Chold of Light immediately.

That's pretty awesome. Would certainly take some skill.

@Captain_Gonru That's a fantastic idea, actually.

Point being, the reviewer said he can't stress enough just how minimalistic the amount of content is in this game. You go around an oval track and press "A" to switch between the two lanes. Maybe if there were more tracks, more music, and overall more variety (heaven forbid more lanes to switch between), then it could have fared better. Seems like one of those digital key chain games that had one button, the kind got from Kmart as a kid.

@DualWielding Haha, as if. I feel that ZombiU is a great exclusive, but the fact that it's being ported doesn't make me magically hate the game now. It's my favorite title on the Wii U, arguably my most favorite video game of all time.

I get more and more excited every time I read/hear about this game.

Day one for me.
