@TenEighty its all about how much they can sell. People dont price things lower so they can make less money, they do it to sell more and actually make money. For three hours of gameplay, and a hidden object game, that is completely unrealistic.
Some of the funding awards are pretty nice. Dinner with shaq? Pick up basketball with shaq? Personialized recording from shaq? This would be a steal if I was a shaq fan.
I already have the nintendo one. So i think i might pass, Unless thhe pokemon one filled with creativity. I am excited to see how these turn out, at the very least.
@Jazzer94 I meant crtical success, especially on wii u. Tons of critics say how its a great game and wii u is the best version. I am also pretty sure it sold over 200k on wii u alone
@CaviarMeths Don't you remember Rayman Legends was a Wii U exclusive? So it was built around the Wii U. So its quality and success further proves his point. Legends took advantage of the Wii Us capabilities
@Benjerocks Its simplicity made it so creative! It required more skill to stay in fist because of the onslaught of items. It was simple like no other mario kart course. I enjoyed Baby Park, but DK mountain is the best!
@Xtremetdifan come on, he does have a big family to feed. And it would be hilarious if he is like, "ya, i am allergic to donuts. So because u gave me a donut I am gonna charge you $5." Or at least to me because I wouldnt spend a cent on this game anyway
Liberation Maiden is extremely short. I can't believe they try to charge $8 for it. I beat the game (normal mode) in 1 hour and 9 minutes... Well it does seem like a game where u try to get high scores though.
@AJWolfTill I have never played Xenoblade, by the time I learned about it, it was a little too expensive. But ya those shrieking characters... I think it might be better when they speak in English and I can understand them.
Idk, I will need to see more. It will probably be awesome but the combat looked kinda bland on the first watch. But it might be cuz I didnt understand what was happening. I look forward to more information.
Way to ruin my day ubi. I was gonna buy ubisoft games for the sake of supporting ubisoft but this is unexcusable after making us wait for rayman legends. They definately have a double standard, and really lost all my trust and support. I was excited to play this game too... Ubisoft was the last one to be here for nintendo...
@faint well it wasn't gonna break the bank, they wont miss the cash. Maybe I just don't know causw pacman means little to me because I am only 17. Only played the original pacman and it did little for me without nostalgia.
Namco is most likely cutting support because this game isn't gonna make them top much money and their Wii U and 3ds teams are working on Smash Bros. This is a small game featuring ports of old games, so I don't think it was a big deal. I doubt Namco is gonna pull an EA.
Hoping March... While everyone was away on Senior trip, me and my friend were gonna skip school and play this game. O well time to break out Secret of Mana!
I think Nintendo should offer a cheap version of the Wii U for $199 missing the gamepad with a pro controller in its place. They would sell more systems and I feel that is there biggest problem.
This is really depressing... It makes me want another current-gen console if its true. There are too many games missing the Wii U. Without these game, I completely give up on the Wii U's third party support. O well I will go back to assassin's creed III and super mario 3d world.
Why can't more attractive women dress up as Link, go to obscure locations and play amazing Zelda covers on the instrument of their choice? The world would be such a better place!
I love startropics! That got me really excited! I have only played the first one and its the only nes game where i defeated the final boss. So much fun. It is like quirky legend of zelda... Maybe i will go buy the second one now
Not only does it look amazing but it is being released in a game drought. Its been a while since I have played a sqaure RPG and i can't wait to get my hands on this one!
I do not think nintendo would succeed on the mobile market. The games that make the most money are free to play and I know Nintendo isnt gonna want to charge less than $5... The well made mobile games get over looked for the lesser quality, candy crush i am looking at u, games.
Put an "and" between the toki tori and toki tori 2+ at the top. But ya this is kinda dissapointing but if they keep making quality games its not that big a deal.
I started visting wii u daily early this year, but once i realized that website is lame, I came here. A needed a new place for my nintendo fix once nintendo power was cancelled... And this place is amazing!
@dumedum Most companies mark up their games when the bring it to the eshop. Zenonia went from $2 to $8 and cut the rope went from $1 to $5. Without those increases I bet those games would have sold really well on the eshop
$2 is a lot for people to pay on a phone but its nothing on a 3ds. So if u want to sell a game for money, its more likely to sell on the 3ds but free-to-play models thrive on ios and android

Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd April (Europe)
The GBA games cost half as much for the cartridge, at least in NA. Nintendo is trying to make a profit and I think these games are fairly priced.
Re: Smartphone Game Market Shows Impressive Growth in Japan
@retro_player_22 You have to look for the good mobile games. Give Badland a try, I think it is pretty good for mobile.
Re: Weirdness: Engineer Uses Four Monitors to Display Whole Super Mario Bros. Levels
Recreation would be some much easier but using a real nes cart would b awesome!

Re: Video: This Steel Empire Footage Makes Us Jealous of Those With a Japanese 3DS
I would probably buy this if it came to NA. O well i will find something else to play.
Re: Watch_Dogs Wii U 2014 Release a "Possibility", Bucharest Studio to Make "Good Use" of the System
I am more likely to buy it on a delay. Because MK8 is coming out three days later, so i wouldnt have bought it right away anyway.
Re: Review: BLOK DROP U (Wii U eShop)
I was gonna get it if it was a 7/10 or higher, so I will pass and get runner 2 for $5 instead.

Re: Internal Invasion Blasting Onto the Wii U eShop
Meh, looks pretty boring. With so many great eshop games coming out, I think i am gonna pass on this one.

Re: Senran Kagura Bursts Into The UK Top 40 While Donkey Kong Country Hangs A Little Higher Up
Its a major achievement when Senran Kengura Burst comes in 38 but when DK finished 2 in Japan it was all doom and gloom. Makes perfect sense...
Re: Retro Studios Talks Up Wii U And Has Been Working On A New Title Since November

Re: Review: Quell Reflect (3DS eShop)
I have quell+ on ios and its not a bad game. Kind of not my style though. Though I recommend it to puzzle fans.

Re: 3DS eShop Title Rusty's Real Deal Baseball Is Free-To-Play Gaming With A Nintendo Twist
He should be able to increase the price too, if u haggle poorly
Re: Weapon Shop de Omasse to Complete Guild 01 Collection, Massive eShop Discounts Available Now
Friday Monsters and Liberation Maiden is too good to pass up
Re: Monolith Soft's X Combat is Shown Off, Based on Xenoblade Chronicles System
@AJWolfTill I have never played Xenoblade, by the time I learned about it, it was a little too expensive. But ya those shrieking characters... I think it might be better when they speak in English and I can understand them.
Re: Monolith Soft's X Combat is Shown Off, Based on Xenoblade Chronicles System
Idk, I will need to see more. It will probably be awesome but the combat looked kinda bland on the first watch. But it might be cuz I didnt understand what was happening. I look forward to more information.

Re: Pac-Man Museum Reportedly Cancelled on Nintendo Systems

Re: Talking Point: Is There A Future For The Wii U Without The GamePad?
I think Nintendo should offer a cheap version of the Wii U for $199 missing the gamepad with a pro controller in its place. They would sell more systems and I feel that is there biggest problem.
Re: Namco Bandai Will Now Be Known As Bandai Namco Around The World
@Gioku ya i was wondering the same thing. Its probably not true... Haha
Re: Kickstarter Campaign Launches For ReVeN
Not interested. It looks like they copied Metroid but took out my favorite part, exploration. Too many enemies. I think I will pass.
Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life - The Return
I thought it was gonna be about Mario Kart 8. I am really looking forward to that though.
Re: Video: This Awesome Gerudo Valley Violin Cover Brings the Heat
@JellySplat She is definately a great musician and I am certainly not dissing her. Last time I checked attractive and creative are complements.

Re: Nintendo Has "Great Games" But Is Facing A "Structural Problem", According To Industry Analysts

Re: Gunman Clive Sells Quarter Of A Million Copies Across All Formats, "Vast Majority" On 3DS
