You could argue that it's useful for people without a smart TV but in reality any TV with a USB port now you can hook up to your phone using Chromecast and no doubt other devices too. So I don't entirely see the point but I guess it's useful for that 1% of people who don't have a TV that was made in the last 6 or so years?
@manu0 "people like this guy" ?? I don't know what world you live in where this guy is a child predator?? Don't quote me but I believe that was a main reason why Swapnote was brought down. Anyways you have obviously a very differing opinion to me, lets just keep our own and not start a war in this comment section xD lol.
@manu0 er no. I mean I personally don't see a 7-8 year old being on the same type of gaming level to a 16 year old, he did say they were evenly matched. Get over yourself, imo you're too obsessed with screeching "morals!!!!111!!!" perhaps out of jealously? I wouldn't know... Even if she was 14 at the time of MKWii, it's only 2 years difference. Besides they were only pretty much friends at this point or friendly if you will.
I see everywhere people saying you need to spend tokens on GHTV to play tracks on demand but it isn't the case on GH Live (with the 42 tracks that come with the game disc) & you can play whatever you want on demand without having to spend any type of currency, right?
I was like omg! when I first saw this... but then I realised they are only 10 cm tall and plus it doesn't even say what they're made out of... I really hope it isn't plastic. Too expensive for 5k stars really.
Good job Nintendo: nerf the special that's easy to counter but leave the bubbler which is twice as deadly alone... I still think that the bubbler should be banned in ranked.
If you think about it: almost 10 million consoles sold, there must have been someone out there somewhere that bought their Wii U mainly for TVii. Must suck so much for them lol.
I was pleasantly surprised in the global test fire; was actually really fun, most certainly a lot more fun than I was expecting. I'm now planning to pick it up next Friday. But I don't see people buying a Wii U just to play it, that's just crazy.
FIFA 12, 13 & 14 on the Wii are all the exact same game (Excluding one new title screen & Squad updates) so I wouldn't be surprised if the money whores at EA keep following this pattern.
LOL! Well, one less purchase of your product for you Activision (or who ever it is). This was genuinely the only thing that excited me about the whole game & for me it was quite a big one too because I really miss some clans I had on other games.
These sales figures are based from something like may to THE END of June. The come back has only just started a few weeks ago in July with Pikmin 3. No ome should really be worried looking at this news.
The European version of the game is going to be published by Nintendo, maybe they are too busy with publishing and creating other titles? Especially 1st party ones because they will no doubt be priority.
First when I look at this story I'm like: I'm probably not going to get that. But then every time I see the graphics it temps me but then I have to try to tell myself that gameplay matters more than graphics.

Re: Mercedes Arrives in Super Mario Maker With a Course and Mystery Mushroom Outfit
It is a little weird but on the bright side those Mario Kart themed courses I've seen around and about will look the part now.
Re: Guitar Hero Live to Add 34 New Tracks on 25th November
^ & I would've much of preferred the 5FDP track to be Wrong Side Of Heaven than House of The Rising Sun, but ah well.
Re: Guitar Hero Live to Add 34 New Tracks on 25th November
I'm happy about finally getting some 5FDP but other than that & perhaps SWS & RATM there's not much for me to personally get too excited about.

Re: Feature: The Unexpected Legacy of Wii Music
Almost forgot this game existed! O.o it's been a while, so many good memories from it though.
Re: Video: Learn More About Guitar Hero Live's Festivals and Rocking Out Online
Can't wait! Although I'll be extremely disappointed if this is cancelled at the last minute.
Re: Splatoon's Big Update is Coming on 6th August
Hopefully we get parties in public lobbies too and as well being able to change gear/weapon at least in the lobby if not in the game.
Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55
I just don't know quite what to say...
I'm upset by this more than I would've ever had imagined he was an amazing man

Re: Splatoon Version 1.3.0 Update Due on 30th June, Gameplay Adjustments Detailed
@RainbowGazelle Agreed.
Re: Splatoon Version 1.3.0 Update Due on 30th June, Gameplay Adjustments Detailed
@Spoony_Tech I think it's more of a buff than a nerf.
Re: The First Western Splatoon Splatfest Kicks Off on 4th July
Thought it was Rock Vs Pop? And also gutted that it's been delayed but had a feeling it may do.

Re: Latest Wii U System Update Removes TVii On European Consoles, Piles On Stability Elsewhere

Re: Latest Wii U System Update Removes TVii On European Consoles, Piles On Stability Elsewhere
...In Europe anyway.
Re: Latest Wii U System Update Removes TVii On European Consoles, Piles On Stability Elsewhere
Yes! So glad, that button kind of annoyed me because we've known for while now that it'd be forever useless.
Re: Nintendo Hoping That Splatoon Will Tempt Lapsed Fans To Splash Out On A Wii U
I was pleasantly surprised in the global test fire; was actually really fun, most certainly a lot more fun than I was expecting. I'm now planning to pick it up next Friday. But I don't see people buying a Wii U just to play it, that's just crazy.
Re: Here's Your Next Helping Of Guitar Hero Live Tracks
Woo! BMTH!
Re: Harmonix Explains Why Rock Band 4 Isn’t Coming to Wii U, But Doesn't Rule it Out
I'd definitely get it if it has a decent track list. Preferably more modern tracks.

Re: Reminder: Nintendo's Wi-Fi Service on Wii and DS Closes on 20th May
Does know what time it closes? I'm guessing it's going to be at 23:59 on Tuesday right?
Re: Nintendo Switching Off Wi-Fi Connection Service On Wii And DS
Wait, so does this affect 3rd party games like Goldeneye?
Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2014
I chose Project Cars, unlike everyone else lol.
Re: Video: Just Look For The U On The Box, Nintendo's New Wii U Promotion Helpfully Suggests
Needs to be on TV then TV and TV then finally TV and maybe also TV too.

Re: Iwata: Wii Fit U's Free Trial Period Will Improve Wii U Sales Momentum
I have to admit, I'm a sucker for the Wii fit U. I'm probably gonna end up buying the fit meter :/ to turn the trial in to the full game.
Re: Feature: Where Is Your Wii Balance Board?
I thought the trial would start sometime in December.
Re: Wii U Players Won't Be Able To Join A Clan In Call Of Duty: Ghosts
LOL! Well, one less purchase of your product for you Activision (or who ever it is). This was genuinely the only thing that excited me about the whole game & for me it was quite a big one too because I really miss some clans I had on other games.

Re: New Nintendo Direct Coming August 7th, Focus Is "Previously Announced" Wii U And 3DS Software
How about new games? All the Nintendo Directs recently have all been about additional information about previously announced titles.
Re: IGN Editor: If Wii U Doesn't Pick Up, Nintendo Should Look To New Hardware
@ocarinaoftime Nintendo life are just quoting what someone from IGN said. This article wasn't based on Nintendo life's thoughts.

Re: Asda Stores No Longer Stocking New Wii U Systems or Games
Yep, I noticed this, my local ASDA never sold anything Wii U related. And at other shops there was never more than a few Wii U games on sale.

Re: Codemasters: F1 2013 Would Need To Be "A Very Different Game" To Run On Wii U
As far as I know codemasters is the company who make Dirt. Now if no Dirt game is going to come to the Wii U, I think I will cry.. :/
Re: Nintendo Initially Requested a Shutdown of the Whole Smash Bros. EVO Event, Before Backtracking
I've heard about this EVO thing quite a lot. What is it?
Re: Still No Word On Scribblenauts Unlimited EU Release, Despite Unmasked Announcement
It looks like it's just been forgotten about tbh. I think I would receive the game quicker if I made it by myself. It doesn't look promising.
