Re: Yooka-Laylee Rattles Away From Wii U Release

Crafton

@HaNks Would be interesting to get an actual break down of the numbers by platform, I'd be very surprised if the percentage of backers asking for Wii U codes was even close to double digits.

The Wii U is a dead platform so it makes sense that they'd drop it in favour of being able to create a better product, realistically how many sales are they likely to make releasing it on the eShop in 2017, would they even make enough to cover the costs of the Dev kits, let alone the QA and certification?

It would have been nice to have gotten a more detailed explanation as to why it wouldn't work on the Wii U, probably down to a feature in unity which is not supported on the Wii U.

People also need to remember that Kickstarter isn't a pre-order service, there's always going to be a risk of not getting anything in return for your money. I'm just happy that the game is being made and that I helped make that happen.

Resident Evil Revelations for the Wii U should also net 60 gold coins on MyNintendo too as they are calculated on the original price rather than the discounted price, almost worth double dipping just for that!

Apple do a similar thing with their I-Pods, you don't get a wall charger in the box but you get a USB cable which can be used for charging if it's plugged into a usb supported device, perhaps a similar approach would have been better.

Of Course this wouldn't be an issue if Nintendo just used Micro USB like nearly every other portable device.

Re: Amazon Removes £199.99 Wii U Listing

Crafton

I got a pre-order in last night after seeing it on Hot UK Deals, one of the posts I read on there is quite interesting:

"An Amazon customer service representative, speaking to me over the phone, tells me that all information in their Black Wii U listing - including price and date - comes from their suppliers (not the manufacturer). I was also assured that this console is covered by their price guarantee, including the eventuality that the price increases once customers have placed their order (though the on-site guarantee mentions only decreases). This means that if you order a Black Wii U from Amazon for £199.99, that is the maximum price you will pay"

and another post:

"just been on the chat to the customer service again, and i ask them why the ability to pre-order has been removed. they said that demand was high and they only have limited stocks, they also said the delivery date which is july the 14th can change"

So fingers crossed we will get it for that price.

Hopefully we will see patched in support for the Circle pad pro on some existing games in the not too distant future.
Using the triggers in Mario Kart would be awesome, and the bigger controller would save me from a lot of hand cramp.
