CasuallyDressed

At first, I was kinda disappointed. But this way, it's almost as if we're getting TWO brand new Smash Bros. games

Miyamoto is the cutest full-grown man on the face of the Earth.

Sorry about the sound on this, folks.

@Samus06 - I have to agree. I was expecting to be absolutely mindblown by 3D Mario, just as I was back in 2005 with the reveal of Super Mario Galaxy. 3D World kinda looks by-the-numbers, just knocked together to push out as quickly as possible. The lack of orchestrated music was particularly depressing, especially after Galaxy's incredible soundtrack.

I hope this is just a quick effort to boost Wii U sales for the Christmas period, and we're going to get something in the vein of Galaxy before the generation's over.

All over this.

@ThomasBW84 @gaby_gabito I am shuddering at the thought of a game being worse than Survival Instinct.

You know there's something wrong when people are ripping on Uncharted 2. Practically flawless game. Also, there seems to be a lot of people putting words in Thomas's mouth here.

@MadAdam81 You suggested using the right stick for throttle and the left stick for braking. How are you going to steer? With the gyroscope? Yuck!

@MadAdam81 Aren't you forgetting something?

I never buy digital if there's a retail version available. With that in mind, I pre-ordered from Tesco months ago.

After reading the comments, I feel I have made a huge mistake.

I feel like there has never been a more appropriate time to use this.
LIKE A BOSS!

I don't understand this argument that it's okay to pirate games because they're expensive. So what? Lots of things are expensive. What is this ridiculous notion that games are a commodity, some kind of human right? I can't afford a Ferrari, doesn't mean I can just go and steal one.

Like most things in life, if you can't afford it, don't have it.

Ugh, here we go again.

I'm sure this has been pointed out already, but by 'generations', he obviously means GPU generations rather than console. In that case, he's probably spot on. The GPUs in the PS3 and 360 are DX9-based and were high-end in 2005. Now, they're pretty ancient.

@Kifa No, that was beautiful. Never apologise for bad puns.

I'm so ready for a F.A.S.T game for Wii U.

Also, CoD: Ghosts at the Xbox One reveal didn't look much better than Black Ops II on PC.

You know what, I'd pick this up for Wii U. The Xbox One version didn't wow me graphically, at all. I'd take Off-TV Play and pointer controls over a resolution boost and slightly better textures.

It's 2:30am and I'm really tired. However, I've read this quote about 20 times now on three different websites. Where does it say, or even imply, that EA are making games for Wii U again?

Yeah, no. 1.24Ghz to 3.24Ghz without any discernible difference in power consumption or heat? Not a chance.

This is a straight up lie.

I'd just like to know how the 'tablet' is 'weird'? Like, how is it weird? Come on dude, how is the GamePad 'weird' in any way?

That is hideous.

@tsm7 @stevesnowmn I think this is one of those UK vs. US things. Addressing things like bands and companies as 'is' seems weird to us. When I go on music forums and see stuff like 'Funeral for a Friend is on tour,' it just reads totally wrong to me.

I would always say 'Nintendo are'.

@rjejr The video was originally just going to be 5 minutes of me killing zombies to the Benny Hill theme tune. Seriously, can even ask Damien.

@Damo You've made a remarkable recovery from being shot in the face three times, it must be said.

For those still interested, Amazon have price matched the Wii U Basic pack.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys!
And no, to the best of my knowledge, I won't be appearing in the next Fire Emblem game. Not enough boingy bits am i ryt.

Haha, this is bizarre! Surely you'd think up a use for a peripheral BEFORE designing and producing it?!

Even as a very light user (mainly texts, occasional Twitter/Facebook checks) my phone's battery barely makes it through the day, nevermind playing resource hungry games on it.

Wake me up when someone figures out how to make a phone with the graphical fidelity of the PS Vita, an OLED screen, physical buttons and sticks, an operating system that's functional both as a phone and a games console and a battery life of over 12 hours, all in a form factor that's usable as a phone without looking dorky.

Maybe then I'll be interested. Maybe. And still probably not.

Oh god oh man oh god oh man oh god oh man

Yeah, this is fairly incredible news.

I'd just like to point out that my palms are largely sweat-free.

I'd love to see an OS-level screenshot tool, like you have on iOS and PlayStation Vita.

The Wii U's implementation is ooooookaaaay, but, as far as I'm aware, the screenshots just get stored in a cache until you post them to Miiverse; there's no way to actually save them.

@Hunter-D Well yeah, I get that. But what I meant was I could just download it from my Wii U without going to GAME to buy one of these pre-paid cards.

Hang on a minute, why would I go out of my way to go to a physical store, to buy a download code for a digital version of a game that I could have downloaded from home without leaving the house, and pay more money for it than I would for a physical copy?

What?! Just...what?!
And yes, £41.99 is cheaper than £49.99, but that kind of only applies if you pay £49.99 for games, and who actually does that?

@rjejr Apparently, I have a broad Scottish accent! Who knew?!

@Pixelroy Not to give too much away, but we may or may not be in preliminary discussions to bring back the Nintendo Life podcast. But I never said that. You never saw me. I was never here. Swoosh.

Damn, I would never leave the house with that thing.

Both my local GAMEs (Preston) had a decent supply of both Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and LEGO City Undercover. Unfortunately, they were asking £50 a pop.

They didn't even know NFS:MW was out for Wii U, haha.
