Maybe they should have released the Gamepad as an add-on... because i see literally nothing here that wouldn't be possible on Wii. “Showcase of what the Wii U has to offer” LOL
@andreoni79 I agree for Advance Wars about the mechanics, i could play those all day without caring for any story. But with FE, the plot is usually just as much as a drive for me to finish the games (the first time).
Other than being boring, the inclusion of time travel made me hate Awakening's in particular.
Just the existence of DLC in Fire Emblem kinda ruined it imo. It's a mess of a game compared to older releases. I played through once on hard mode and got really irritated with all the forced grinding towards the end, so i just gave up on it. The first FE i refused to finish (the story sucking contributed, i'll admit.)
What kind of DLC was crammed into SMT4? That's the only RPG i intend to buy any time soon.
@Captain_Balko Joke or no, it makes you seem kinda unstable... Nowhere did i mention anything about hardcore/casual, what's superior, or what i consider myself as. I stated that Nintendo are “mostly concerned with casuals now”. Your rant doesn't respond to that point at all, despite quoting me.
@tanookisuit The only thing his post has shown is how over-sensitive and terrible the reaction from fanboys are. Who'd bother responding seriously to such a thing?
@oreqano I mean it as in - you can't compete with others unless you're at least competent at what you do.
When you look at their last two system gimmicks; 3D, the gamepad - one is being somewhat ditched from this point forward (an admission of it being short-lived), and the other is failing to attract any people at all due to uninspired usage. It's nothing revolutionary, it's not just that i personally don't like them. Btw, that doesn't sound rude. Man, i've seen much worse lol.
@Ootfan98 We'd all have real accounts by now if they cared about customer demands. At this point, i'm completely fine with avoiding eShop altogether, so these moronic responses don't faze me.
@PinkSpider I've been registering games since the GC days and only collected about half that in total. Let me guess, you buy/register every Nintendo game available? lol
3 games was enough from Retro imo. They should've been put to work on a new smash hit IP (similarly catering to the teen/adult demographic) as their first WiiU game. Doing so might have generated some actual interest in Nintendo's brand new console, unlike the slew of samey looking sequels to Wii games planned currently.
Give Metroid to Platinum, and make it a 3ds game. Screw the WiiU.
@idork99 Not much has changed in the way of mechanics or layout since then. So no, it won't appeal to you. Also, there won't be a demo, Nintendo never bother for games they think will sell regardless.
Would if i owned a WiiU... but that console isn't for me – I already have a Nintendo box devoid of third party support called the 3DS. Who needs another?

@LichiRichi Doubt it. I found two already with only 5 badges, and i've only tipped about twice (minimum values).

Ah, the underlying theme to everything Nintendo makes nowadays. Screw older/existing players. In with the new!
Re: Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies (3DS eShop)
Good series and the price is decent, so i'll look forward to buying this once that fabled account system gets implemented.
Wait.. there's free dlc outfits for a limited period?!!............................. big deal, lol.
Re: Nintendo Provides Reassurances on Wii Availability This Holiday Season
That never mattered to the Wii's audience - they live off minigames and shovelware (still being made for it).
Re: Nintendo Provides Reassurances on Wii Availability This Holiday Season
@Trainer_DJ Cheapness, of course! The WiiU was DOA.

Re: 3DS Tops NPD Hardware Charts Once Again, As Wii U Sales Increase More Than 200%
@TheLilK98 We need a gif to show the 3ds printing money directly into the WiiU, only to then have it shredded.
More accurate i think.

@solcross Are we even viewing the same stuff here? lol, it's cheap rubbish. I'd glady take games instead.

Re: Poll: Did You Pick Up Pokémon X, Pokémon Y or Both?
Y is more popular, most of the stores i went to on launch day only had X left on the shelves.
Re: Poll: Did You Pick Up Pokémon X, Pokémon Y or Both?
I'm too busy with other games but i bought Y mainly because my friend was buying a 3ds for it.
Haven't been playing that long but i've already got my first shiny (Skiddo) and that pokerus condition. Luck or way more common now?

Re: Nintendo UK Launches Online Retail Store
Metroid: Other M, £44.99 from Nintendo. £5 everywhere else...
Re: Nintendo UK Launches Online Retail Store
@Peach64 Oh god, you're right. They shouldn't have bothered.
Re: Iwata: We Never Fear Failure And Always Seek To Challenge The Status Quo
Nintendo are more concerned with casuals now than ever before.

Re: Iwata: We Never Fear Failure And Always Seek To Challenge The Status Quo
@Gerbwmu “Competing” and being “competent” go hand in hand. Their USP has become gimmicks and nothing more.
Re: Video: We Adventure Through the Opening 30 Minutes of Monster Hunter 4
Will probably buy this, but it would be my first MH game.
Re: Iwata: We Never Fear Failure And Always Seek To Challenge The Status Quo
Nintendo unable to compete, confirmed. Somebody laughed at me for stating that yesterday...
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Could Have Ruled The Micro-Console Market With Wii
I pick “No, Nintendo should focus on the 3DS (entirely)”. I think i'm done with their home consoles tbh. They just can't compete anymore.

Because you've played either game?

Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 1st October Broadcasts

Re: Feature: Five Reasons Why The 2DS Will Be The Biggest Selling Handheld This Christmas
5 reasons it shouldn't be:
1) Ugliness
2) Looks uncomfortable
3) Mono sound
4) Price is barely less than the OG
5) OG was never a barrier to kids in the first place

Re: Toon Link Adventuring Onto Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS
@allav866 Ha, that's true but they were supposed to be brought to life from those. For some reason they were left in toy form this time.
Re: Toon Link Adventuring Onto Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS
@shinpichu DK is fine (his fur is still inferior compared to the new DKC). The rest of them look so bland, like they're dolls.
Re: Toon Link Adventuring Onto Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS
Why is Link wearing a clump of bananas in the WiiU version?.....
Seriously, the lack of detail makes this the ugliest version of Smash to date. At this rate, i may not regret limiting myself to the 3ds version.
Re: Shin'en: If Developers Can't Make Great Looking Games On Wii U, It's Their Own Fault
@MeowGravy Sums things up perfectly.
@Freakazoid Peach's comments are always reasonable. Only the biased ever take offence.
