@Peach64 You just can't be convinced, honestly. And I believe their strategy for release globally is beyond our understanding.
Well, he is my Wonderful copy. Goodbye guys. I'll be focusing a lot more on actual games from now on and I believe I'll come back haunt you again around Christmas season.
@Slapshot You might want to specify Western third-party support there. The Japanese have more than enough games in and incoming both for themselves and for the Western markets on the 3DS: that would explain why it is selling worldwide, and selling significantly there too.
If I may troll, all I know is, the PS4 isn't launching in Japan in Tier 1 (and neither does the Xbox One): don't know what the Japanese think of it, though, but I know it means for a splendid Wii U holiday season.
In effect, it's the publishers that aren't giving them work. They're in a rock and a hard place: can't bash the publishers 'cause they're giving the job, they have to make it seem as if it's Nintendo's fault they're not working on their platforms, and here we are now hating. (I know I am.)
No, I don't think that's what he meant on Miiverse, I think he meant that depending on your position on the stage, the outlines will appear or vanish more or less strongly in relation to the characters surroundings so that they become more distinguishable on the screen.
@Sony_70 Monster Hunter Online, the one that was revealed in China a few months ago, runs on CryEngine 3 (now to be named just CryEngine). That's more than enough to complain: I would expect that good-looking Monster Hunter to most definitely come to my Wii U.
@Cyberbotv2 Thanks, I really appreciate. Now that I think about it, they'll surely have some Wonder-Masks at the Paris Games Week here in France, since it happens quite soon.
But I SOOOOOOOO wanna to see that Wonder-Red cosplay!!!
@the_beaver I think they want to make their own stuff, it's just that Nintendo hardware and culture are their preference.

@ToadFan I'm more into taking out Nintendo Land and selling the 32GB U at 299.99. I love Nintendo Land but now the game represents a limited vision of the Wii U.
@Nintenjoe64 No one said they can't sell Wii iso (games) directly through the eShop later in the Wii U's lifespan. At a VC-style discounted price, obviously.
So Siliconera isn't directly quoting any source, and their Japanese source doesn't seem to work, at least on my GamePad. It's not even worth wasting my time trying to explain it. I'll wait to see the numbers of the first week of sales.
@Nintenjoe64 At which point it would still and forever be 10 times cheaper on the eShop.
I have a theory on this move, but in order to not get mislead just like with that inexistant "Squeenix-no-KH3-no-Wii-U" announcement, I'm gonna have a deeper look at the source.
@Le_Gazman Juggle between L and R to zoom in and zoom out, Controls need some getting used for some, others in here found them actually intuitive and empowering.
@murphy77 We've had this discussion before on the forums. I think reactions of the people here can tell you were their money will go near launch. At least I know where mine is going... in a few days!!

Re: Ubisoft: ZombiU Development Was a Learning Experience in Second Screen Gameplay
I don't believe in "We believe in Nintendo"s.
Re: Out Today: The Wonderful 101
HECK YEAH.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Hero Mode Details Sail Into View
Actually, I'll play it and finish it solely in Hero mode in both playthroughs: I did 100% the original after all (noy counting the statues).
Re: Video: This Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies DLC Case Intro is Glorious to Behold
Wow, they actually have cutscenes.

Re: Talking Point: Gamescom Announcements Raise the Stakes for the Wii U and 3DS
@Peach64 X will be the first-gen next-gen JRPG. At least in Japan, I call that a system seller.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Hero Mode Details Sail Into View
Real. First-playthrough Normal mode, second playthrough Hero mode for 100%.
...And even if I've buying the game at launch, I'm still praying for orchestral songs for my second playthrough... PLEEEAAAASSSEE.........
Re: Video: Satoru Shibata Gives the Big Tour of Nintendo's Gamescom Booth
This guy is the localization master for Nintendo over there in Europe. I trust he will make some fantastic stuff for us with Japanese developers.
Re: Crytek Announces New CRYENGINE and Doesn't Exclude Wii U, Champagne Corks are Popped
@Samurai_Goroh Yep. All I know is the folks at EA must feel really dumb to have given FPS monopoly to Activision this November on the Wii U.
Re: Crytek Announces New CRYENGINE and Doesn't Exclude Wii U, Champagne Corks are Popped
@TheRealThanos Wow... That's real...
Re: Crytek Announces New CRYENGINE and Doesn't Exclude Wii U, Champagne Corks are Popped
@unrandomsam OH! Now that explains the quality.

It is sad for them indeed.

Re: Game Designers Reveal How Super Mario Bros. 3 Would Work As A Free-To-Play Mobile Title
"It's definitely worth mentioning at this point that Levy did state that it was all a bit of a laugh and wasn't to be taken seriously."
Good Lord, thanks for mentioning it, I was about to LMAO in the comments section...
Re: Character Outlines Will Be Customisable in 3DS Super Smash Bros.
Example: look at screenshot number 7. There is no outline on the right flank of Samus, but there is some on Link: it just depends on the positioning.

No, I don't think that's what he meant on Miiverse, I think he meant that depending on your position on the stage, the outlines will appear or vanish more or less strongly in relation to the characters surroundings so that they become more distinguishable on the screen.

@Emblem Late 2014... Next-gen JRPGs are ours, people!!

Here is a good example of the CryEngine for Wii U owners:

Time for me to learn me some programming!!
Re: Disney Magic Castle Prospers in Japan, Wii U Sales Return to Five Figures
@Emblem 2015?!?!?!?!?! Do you have a source for this, please? It's INSANE!!!
Re: Disney Magic Castle Prospers in Japan, Wii U Sales Return to Five Figures
Top ten softwares in Japan are Nintendo. The game is over.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Plenty of Wii U and 3DS Shenanigans at PAX Prime
Can anybody send me a Wonder-Mask through the Atlantic?
Re: Retro City Rampage is Totally Coming to the 3DS eShop
I'll look into it on the 3DS, then.
Re: Developer Interview: Shin'en Multimedia Talks About Jett Rocket II, New Modes and Sticking with Nintendo
Again, I can't wait to see their Wii U racer.
Re: Developer Interview: Shin'en Multimedia Talks About Jett Rocket II, New Modes and Sticking with Nintendo
@the_beaver I think they want to make their own stuff, it's just that Nintendo hardware and culture are their preference. They want to do what pleases them most first, rather than having to be stressed by potential corporate deadlines and requirements and stuff. Not having to report to anyone is a freedom I would understand they don't want to trade.
Re: Video: New Trailer Blasts Away Confusion Over Summer Carnival '92 RECCA
They showed the game on the American Direct only and it releases first in Europe. Now that's weird...
Re: Six Ubisoft Games Get a 30% Discount on the 3DS eShop
I'll go with @LJM. Plus I don't really care for any of those games anyway.
Re: More Evidence Emerges of a Wind Waker HD Wii U Bundle

Re: More Evidence Emerges of a Wind Waker HD Wii U Bundle
@PokeTune To the price drop. My console has the value.
Re: Video: Planet PNF-404 with Rory Cocker
Awesome... THAT was LOVELY.
Re: More Evidence Emerges of a Wind Waker HD Wii U Bundle
@PokeTune That's the 32GB Premium Wii U, so I wanna say heck no.
Re: More Evidence Emerges of a Wind Waker HD Wii U Bundle
It's definitive, Moffitt was hinting at bundles himself; though I have no idea what the other three could possibly be.
Bring out the bundle flood, Nintendo! Time to give an identity to that console!
