Downloaded, Thursday night, after 9pm on the west coast of the US (12am on the east). As much as I love physical, its just not practical for me anymore.
Unless he is making a game for us Nintendo owners, I don't care about him, as RE has is gone down the toilet since 4, literally and console wise (not his call, but still).
As happy as I am about this, they better advertise the hell out of Bayonetta 2 before and after the broadcast, or give it one last Direct broadcast of it's own before the 24th
@c1pher_c0mplet Yeah, because even if they had enough money immediately to produce another game, violating a contract would be a great business practice for Platinum. lol
@MoonKnight7 Well, there's still the Microsoft Defense "low sales in Japan, crazy sales everywhere else" (of course they better do well in the west for that card to work, lol)
@Haywired at least Mario and Link are in the same company, in the same gaming universe. Capcom has made itself very clear in being its own company, sending all future Resident Evil games to MicroSony only...but they LOVE to LEECH off the big N exclusives.
What is Crapcom's relationship with Nintendo exactly, as it makes zero sense these days. No more Resident Evil on any N system (despite the last game selling the most on the 3DS), but this and the Animal Crossing stuff is okay?
@MoonKnight7 There are movies released every weekend with higher budgets and A-list stars with lower numbers. Yes, the sales aren't good, but they're not bad either, considering it's competing against Smash Bros, Hyrule Warriors, Kingdom Hearts, Destiny. The timing couldn't have come at a worse time to release, so again yeah, those numbers aren't dud numbers at all.
Bayonetta 2 is still in the Top 20 again, despite stiff competition in Smash Bros, Kingdom Hearts, etc. I'm sure plenty of other of games would be jealous to get a fraction of that, despite it being such a controversial game. Why does everyone claim its a dud? The Japanese economy is more of a dud, surprised games are selling what they are there right now.
The only good things I will say about Ubi is how good Rayman was, and how good ZombiU was, full of flaws, but better energized survival horror than how the lazy slob Resident Evil/CrapCom has become. With that, the company I used to love is now gone, and is responsible for it's own 3rd party hatred, for choosing to port games to the Wii U 2-3 years later for full price and no dlc.
My favorite character in Fire Emblem, whom my avatar got married to. Would loved using the Nosferatu spell or Aversa's Night. A shame she wasn't included, as they could've easily altered her costume. They should at least offer her as dlc.
@umegames Yeah, and they'll release Zelda U for PS4 and X1 too, and Sony will be happy with Destiny sales, so they'll release it on Wii U. lol. #notgoinghappen
Will have to wait on Smash and Hyrule, since I just bought Wii Fit U and DKC:Tropical for the Smash sale, need to save up again. Definitely getting Bayonetta 2 no matter what on the 24th.
Despite so much competition, and in it's 2nd week still in the top 20, I think Bayonetta 2 is doing fine. For a niche type game with a lot of adult themes that only sold a little over 2 million copies across 2 consoles the first time around, Platinum should be proud. Japan's current gaming trends are just wacky right now, it'll be huge everywhere else.
@Smug43 The third parties decide to release games on other consoles first, than wonder why their games aren't selling on Wii U 6 months to 2 years later, with no upgrades, no dlc. In the beginning, yes, Nintendo was responsible, but 2 years later, the blame is mostly on the third parties now. I'm tired of Nintendo getting blamed for something that isn't entirely their fault. If third parties wanted their games to sell on the Wii U, than 1)they would release their games at the same time, and 2)they would try to match Nintendo's work ethic. The reason Nintendo's IP sells so well is because they put quality first, fun 2nd, and everything else 3rd. Being a fanboy or fangirl is just a bonus. Third parties, put up or shut up, don't get mad at Nintendo's work ethic to deliver 5 Star games, and then blame it on fanboys/fangirls not wanting to buy half-assed quality games.
Ubisoft, just don't release it anymore. Stop burning your money and time on something you already predict doom and gloom on. I wanted to support this game, despite the bad reviews, but your company doesn't want the support. It's bad enough that the other versions have barrels of bugs and frame rate issues, but if making a game set up to fail (unnecessary delays, phoned-in code translation from the source code, no dlc, then expecting fans to pay full price) is their plan to use a tax write off, they really should just get out of the video game business entirely.
Finally got Wii Fit U, was waiting for this weeks sale...unfortunately, so were the prime sellers on Amazon, as it was 9 bucks for a Fit Meter last week, and now they are 17 bucks. Should've bought the meter last week, oh well.
Despite the mixed reviews, I'll still get it, I want Ubi back on the Wii U full steam. Haven't played any other versions, and I'm sure the Wii U version will be the best, since they've had time to iron out the bugs from the other versions, plus the gamepad will make it the best as well. Given the number of new owners that have increased so much due to MK8, I hope it sells well enough to put faith back into Ubi, and hopefully ZombiU 2.
Willing to let them finish the game, but from the get go, there is ZERO difference on the 3D builds of the women (other than hair color, outfit, etc). There is also zero difference on the attacks. Sidescroller fight game 101: Strength person, Speed person, Magic person. This games seems to have the characters as all the same, with slight 'Mario Kart' differences, not true differences in character.
Wait, so they made a version for the Vita because they thought it would make billions, compared to being on the 3DS or Wii U?! How does Daniel Kaplan have a job again? lol
"Capcom turns heel on Nintendo, tells fans to go to hell." I'm instantly transported to wrestling of the 80's-90's, where heel turns meant something, minus the fact this is a real life heel turn. You go to hell, Capcom!!
@AtlanteanMan Agreed, Sonic Racing Transformed is off the chain, so much innovation and content, finally glad to see that Nintendo is taking notes from that game.
Just the Wii U + 3DS for me, it provides what I need at this stage of my life. I have to be careful on how I spend my money, time and energy. Owning every system is unrealistic and absurd, dividing my time between my current job, while still pursuing my dream job, paying rent, paying for gas/auto related things, paying for food, spending time with family and friends, dating and the expenses that come with that, etc. Nintendo's offerings are just the right balance now, MicroSony caters too much to the dudebro/bromance crowd. No thanks.
It's sad how Activision and Ubi are giving up on WiiU based on 2012-2013 sales. Everyone, keep buying the system and the games, esp Bayonetta 2 and Devil's Third!! Let's make them regret overreacting too quickly, that mature games can and will sell great on this system in 2014 and beyond. And again, BUY DEVIL'S THIRD (and WatchDogs too), it will be the only version of a COD type game we will ever have for a while!!!
I'm surprised that 135% of software increase isn't larger, as I have so many WiiU games that I bought off Amazon as soon as I got my MK8 Bundle, and I'ved notice they are starting to increase the prices a bit on those 1st gen gems.
All in all, still messed up. I was about to purchase Revelations (now that I'm at the end of ZombiU), but it seems like Capcom doesn't want my money anymore.
@kereke12 Actually the gamepad made ZombiU awesome, can't imagine playing that on another system, it would suck and be another RE game, with game being paused while you scroll through endless pages of inventory, not to mention it's the best sniper gun ever. Big N's fault for bad advertising, but the gamepad still rocks.
Great read, def recommended for all beginners and veterans. Not trolling, as I love MK8, but I also love Sonic Racing on the Wii U as well. Is there a stat sheet for the customizations for that game as well? No luck finding on the net as of yet...
