Re: Review: Mario Power Tennis (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)

@Yosher I really don't like 3DS and GC Mario Tennis because their gameplay is horrrible. I like much more the tennis in the GBA game, it is a lot closer to the real game than on the others. Those boring and incredibly repetitive supershots and neverending points... ugh.

Plus, I miss the rpg component. It was neat.

@Samurairu actually that's not a problem for me. Lately I've been enjoying more playing shorter (but good) games. I still play games that will take many hours but usually they are non-absorbent games like DK: Tropical Freeze, I can play one or two stages and be done, unlike Deus Ex/Wind Waker/SC: Blacklist which you have to play for a while in order to advance.

In fact, I'm really looking forward to Tengami

My problem with Armillo is that it doesn't seem fun to me

@electrolite77 the momentum might not get to 2015 although I hope it does.
I don't want to sound like a hater or just too negative but after years of watching this industry I don't consider those signs of recovery that important.
And lets not forget that Far Cry 4, AC Unity, FIFA 15, Rainbow Six Seige, The Division, The Crew, The Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, GTA V, MGS V and many others aren't coming to WiiU. That is a HUGE handicap which I'm afraid Nintendo won't be able to overcome.

Sadly I now am sure that it'll struggle. Not only has its biggest seller, Mario Kart, moved less systems than needed but they haven't show any game that will shift the focus to the console.

I love what they have shown and probably buy all or most of the games but they are not system sellers. Does anybody believe that Captain Toad is that kind of game? Or Yoshi? We know (sadly and unfarely) Bayonetta and Xenoblade aren't. And Smash? It is great, it is shaping up wonderful BUT the 3DS is getting it too and the GC also had a a great one...

Right now WiiU's only hopes are:

  • A price drop that ain't happening
  • A system defining game we haven't seen yet
  • The new Zelda really kicks a**.

Meanwhile I'll just enjoy all the great games it has on offer.

I don't think Nintendo did that great and I'm really surprised about Splatoon's reception. That doesn't mean that Sony or MS did a better job. Non-gameplay videos are junk although effective to fool most gamers and shooters-shooters-shooters is getting tired.

I'll stick with my PC and my U.
