Emblem

Its looks like a line defence game not tower defence but i can't be sure without a trailer. In any case i might pick it up if it plays well and the price is right.

Day 1 for me, can't wait.

@Jazzer94 Fair enough, I just thought you were pricing it at £10-20 based on the earlier rumours that the game was only 20 or so levels. This trailer has made me more interested in it then I was before but i'm not sold yet.

@Jazzer94 It's currently £40 but it may go down to £32 like Hyrule and DK did. If its over 70 levels £32-40 seems like a fair price to me.

Not going to bother with the demo but those of you on the fence should give it a try. I'll wait for the real deal in a couple of weeks, should have finished Shadow Of Mordor and Hyrule Warriors Adventure mode by then.

@Damo please correct the article as your source didn't bother to translate properly, they are talking about AAA games not every game.

The Darkstalkers thing is unrelated, it wasn't triple AAA but bombed anyway despite alot of demand from fans.

@taffy @Tops @taffy "The first thing I expect many people might think is, “I thought you were working on Treasurenauts!” Yes, well, I have a confession to make. We were working on Treasurenauts – and it was progressing really well – then, one day I got a bee in my bonnet to make a [Metroidvania] game ... it started when I mocked up a 2D demake of Moon Chronicles for fun a while back. It came together much better than I expected, and I really liked how the main little space man turned out. I let that mock-up sit dormant for a few months while we finished up the real Moon Chronicles and also continued to work on Treasurenauts, but the idea of the 2D space game came back to the front of my mind one day"

Pretty much means they stopped (really) working on it ages ago to focus on Moon, the failed kickstarter and this. I'm sure they will get back to it once this is out, or maybe they will go back to Mutant Mudds 2 which is also in suspended development.

I'll likely pick this up when it comes to the UK, looks quite fun and will be cheap as chips.

@markybbop Well i own most of them and i can say Wii U owners are not missing anything imo. I agree about Dust though its great, forgot it comes out today .

@markybbop The only one missing from Wii U that really should be there is Towerfall, its so good and 4 player. Transistor is also awesome but im not sure Nintendo fans would like it. Other then that PS4/X1 indie games are pretty weak but there are some good looking ones on the way.

Can someone ask RK if Treasurenaughts is cancelled? Its totally lost all hype at this point.

I got smash day one but its going back to amazon this week. Its a great game but i cant really play it on my commute due to its fast pace.

I also picked up Shadow of Mordor for PS4 (awesome) and between that and Hyrule Warriors Smash is not getting any play at home. I'll wait for the Wii U version, ive already put 5 or so hours in but i really need the big screen expierence.

This list is not 100% character unlocks are seemingly random, Wario was my first unlock (10 Matches), the others i have also don't match up with this list at all. I'm actually pretty glad as its alot more fun that way .

@3DSfan134 Lol didnt even notice until you pointed it out .

Stealth Inc 2, Bayonetta 2, Smash Wii U & MAYBE Sonic Boom for me. I'll also be picking up Swords & Soldiers 2 and maybe Affordable Space Adventures (If its ready). Along with the PS4 & 3DS games on my shopping list Fall is going to be jam packed with great game experiences.

Good stuff.

FYI Warlocks just hit its funding goal with 15 hours to go, looks like its coming to Wii U.

@Captain_Gonru The boss pack is two new game modes which focus on the massive bosses. This is for the free update that makes Cia's faction playable.

@vamkar Lol okay that one got me .

Even if i didnt have a Wii U i would have got one for Bayo2. Atleast the other consoles are getting Korra on the 22nd so they can play some Platinum goodness. Im picking it up for PS4 and maybe 3DS if that version turns out okay.

@FX102A You can but i would say wait until your sure you like the game first as im sure the dlc deal is limited.

The preorder dlc is coming for sure but we have not been given dates yet. I expect this is due to the deals that have been made with retailers.

Warning to anyone who hasnt played it yet but the dlc pack has a (minor?) spoiler.

Great game cant wait for the dlc to roll in for both this and MK8.

@NodesforNoids Lol replace 'folders' with anything else and get the same result.

I wouldn't tar everyone with the same brush though as there are a few level headed Nintendo fans here .

I hope this makes its goal, have not seen much sites reporting it though.

@dizzy_boy lmao its a finger.

Sigh, i fell for the clickbait article title.

Edit: Wow people are really taking this as an offical confirmation? I thought i was bad for just clicking the link lol. Lol hiw many times do we ave this exact same scenario? No plans or afaik does not equal and offical confirmation.

I saw this earlier, amazing.

No Fire Emblem? I am disapoint.

@Melkac Never happening, TK games are always 'complete' on release, they just always have a ton of follow up DLC support that TK either convert and transfer from their other games (since they use the same engine), or they develop once the initial game is complete.

DW8 XLC on PS4 has over 50 separate pieces of optional DLC, they were released bi-weekly since release and there is still more to come. WO3U also has a bi-weekly dlc release schedule that I expect will deliver dlc over the next few months. The season pass for Hyrule Warriors is the best valued deal for a warriors game dlc ever.

"unlucky individuals were forced to buy the standard edition instead."

I'm fairly certain no one was forced to buy anything .

@Artwark @Interneto An 8 is a good score i'm not disputing that at all. I don't much care for scores to be honest i glean the information i need from the actual content of reviews. Since NL often have long reviews they are a good source of said information which is why i read them. That said Bayonetta is one of the best action games ever, if you are going to give it an arbitrary score it deserves a higher score than 8 imo.

My issue is actually with the review itself and (some) reviews in general, they lack consistency and often have mis-information and conjecture (The Hyrule Warriors review is a good example of this). For example Mega Man also received an 8 but didn't lose marks because of its age, this review was published about the same time. Most times I just ignore it but once in a while I make a comment.

And yet it scored an 8....

Gamer was my best game from Game & Wario, i really hope they release it as a separate digital game at some point as alot of people slept on G&W so missed this gem.

Looking forward to this game i hope it turns out great.

Lol do not, i repeat do not mess with them on Hero difficulty. Not only will they mess your whole game up they will also leap from the screen itself and proceed to f%#k you up in your own home.

People are not thinking straight. There are a few reasons why EU & US are getting it in 2015.
1. Production. No way they can produce the amount of N3ds units needed to cover such large markets.
2. Logistics. These consoles are shipped not flown, that means they need to be produced and shipped before they can be sold. Shipping takes ages but its cost effective when moving large amounts across large distances.

@XFsWorld I think thats because the PS3 version allowed you to select your own music. However the PS4 doesn't have a MP3 playback function so your stuck with the 24 tracks. To be fair that's Sony's fault not the developers, however it does mean the PS3 version is superior to the PS4 version which is why they likely marked it lower.

Still a 5 is way to harsh imo, although I must admit I got the Wii U version over the PS4 version but that was mainly due to own screen multi-player and the likely hood that it will be on PSN+ at some point in the future anyway.

Yeah i got this on release, decent game but nothing amazing.

You know what? F*%k Atlus.

Sincerely yours, UK & Europe.

Dont recall ever seeing a warriors game chart so high. I hope it sells enough for a sequel in anycase as im loving it.

Just Demon King Box for me.

Never heard of him or his music, i'll check youtube in a sec. Its crazy how people end up doing stuff like this though. Sometimes you really do just need to put your best out there and see who responds and how.

Edit: Just skimmed through a few tracks from 'The Call' album, it's surprisingly good. I was expecting a gimmick rapper to be honest but instead I found an intelligent and conscious hiphop artist with good production. Going to check more of his stuff out...

@sinalefa He is an independent contractor so its not Nintendo's decision. Unless they offer him a project he is interested in he is likely to do a smaller project with his own company or even work for another large company outside of Nintendo.

Nice article.

I hope he goes on to another new IP or reinvigorating a dormant IP once he's done with Smash Bros U (After a lengthy rest for that hand of course). I understand his desire to make new games and not getting stuck constantly updating his past work.

After spending most of friday playing this i disagree with this reviews content even more. Its a sold beat em up even if you dont like musou games there is enough Zelda lore and fan service to make a couple of play throughs of legend and adventure mode worth anyones while.

@Jazzer94 Cool, thx.

I have the unlimited demo, did they say if we get to keep the coins we collect or not?

@Einherjar Awesome, most Warriors fans have being saying the same thing. My only concern is the quality dip in local co-op, every Warriors game to date has had a quality dip in local co-op so its expected, I just hope its the same as always and not any worse than previous Wii U entries.

Amazon UK Shipped my game yesterday so i'll be playing it in the next few hours .

Best action game of last gen gets an 8?

@Bass_X0 "DLC is fine. If the DLC appeals to me, I'll download it. If not, I wouldn't have cared if it was in the free in the first place. Its okay to have a choice."

Nice post, pretty much sums up my stance on dlc.

I love warriors games and they always have an abundance of dlc so i often only buy a few choice pieces i really want/need.

I've never put any stock in reviews for Warriors games and buy them regardless. Shame this only scored a 7 but thats expected of warriors games in the west. Not being overly familuar with Zelda lore im hoping this game will engage me. In anycase this will hold me over until SW4 next month.

One issue i have with the review is the section implying Zelda Musou is using an old engine and not the new one. Thats incorrect, the latest Musou titles including the upcoming DW8 Empires are all using the exact same engine, its one of the main complaints of the community especially on PS4.

I love the animation used for the FMV's they have, they should totally doing something with that. This game isn't for me but i'm glad its transitioned well to the west for those who are interested.
