This is a day one DL. I'm downloading an RPG for DK: original. Anyway, I got a week to play this before the Wii U, but I'll probably beat it in a single playthrough!
This game won't be original, but who said I cared! It looks original, with the baby Yoshis and use of the GamePad, but people will still complain. As this site's review for NSMB2 said, not liking fun games because of originality, or lack thereof, is like attacking painters for making the same style painting.
The article asked if the Wii U's uniqueness could hurt third-party support, I say no. Think about it. You can do button-using games on Nintendo's latest system, too. However, on other systems, you can't do a ton of the stuff the Wii U can with ease! This makes for plenty exclusives!
I got the three-pack at "launch." I'm still trying to beat the Nerve-wreck pack, but mainly because I haven't been playing the pack enough. I The Gold Rush pack is a must for those either trying to reach 1000000 coins or 9999999 coins. And yes, there is a reward for maxing out the counter. Look it up.
I would love that. Good thing I didn't overlook the "Rumor:" part of the title. I think it would be nice to be able to play Luigi's Mansion on a Wii U to celebrate the launch of Dark Moon.
EDIT: @Omega Don't have a 3DS? Makes sense. Retail takes 10 min. to download on that system. I imagine something 2 consoles older can be downloaded with ease on a newer item.
P.S. Don't worry about the Wii. That had the worst download service ever.
This isn't final at all. Think about, there will be hundreds of games on the eShop. The one thing that bothers me--don't ask me why--is that blue! Blue is my favorite color, and my favorite shade is light blue! Why do I hate this blue!?
I'm fine with DLC, as long as your'e not missing out if you don't get it, and it has a reasonable price. For instance, DLC in Theatrythym was fine, since it a. was absolutely unnecessary b. had a pretty low price I think songs would be better priced at $.50, but eh. Waddayagonnado.
That video didn't really tell how they were made. It just kind of said "Hey,we got some duct tape, took a big piece of paper, painted it blue, did some other stuff, and somehow we got this thing. Don't even ask where we got the Mega Drive logo." Tell me what I'm missing, and I might make an edit.
Doesn't explain much. Many of the demos were multiplayer-dependent. Do you have to switch out onto Murphy like 20 times in those levels? Wasn't a big fan of Origins anyway, and got it way after release for $20.
We need a SM64 2 on the Wii U! TRUE SEQUEL!!! (FYI: this is a parody of how people say there needs to be a super mario 128, a "true sequel" to mario 64.)
@DonJumpMad I never knew there were purple pikmin.
@KneehighPark This, right here, is what everyone wants. Well, not EVERYONE, but, you get what I mean. Decide you don't want that game, because it got a bad review, get a 3ds eShop game that got a good one. It's foolproof!
"...there is no way they can keep up with mobile phones rapid graphical and speed enhancements."
Yes, because everyone knows the iPhones graphics are WAY better than the 3DS's, and that they're faster too.
EDIT: They should do it. Just charge $1,000,000,000,000 per game. It's a great deal. (Whisper: Not really!)
What kind of person wants Batman AND Scribblenauts!? Two totally different games, for totally different audiences! EDIT: At least they don't name their bundles. I can see it now: "The world's weirdest bundle."
Great job getting 2 different games for the same audience, Toy's R Us. I'm proud of you.
It's all a big LIE! Why, why us!? Anyhow, sounds fake, and dual analogue wouldn't work anyway. If it's to slow, you utterly lose every time. If it's fast enough, it cant be accurate. Quite a predicament, huh?
I think the Wii U will sell wonderfully, but I think by the time PS4 and Xbox 720 come out, most buyers will already have a Wii U in their living room. So, in a 2012-13 prediction, those sales look more accurate to me.
Completionist: I have 100%ed every game I've ever played! Guy: Here's angry birds trilogy! ONE WEEK LATER Completionst: I can proudly say I have fully completed every game I've ever played (to self: but angry birds trilogy.)
Yeah, except the Wii U has games that use it's awesome feature, where as the Vita + PS3, well, no games, and about 1 out of 100000000... people even know what a Vita is.
@BobBillyBoo 42 kids. Maxwell, Lily, and brothers #1-40. wow.
I'm making a flying elven chair that shoots octopi with machine guns that attack by themselves, and the octopi shoot ink that confuses enemies. Now THAT would scare ME. It'll be called: "The Ultimate Weapon." Wreaking havoc on my Wii U, one Mii scared and confused at a time.
OK, I came for news. Where is it? But really, who cares? Most games eventually come to you, and if they don't, it usually means they didn't sell well, and aren't that good. So deal with it!
I, for one, hate all the things he wants. Basically, he wants a brick. Heavy controller, clicky buttons, sounds like a brick. I wasn't going to get one, but because of him, I'll think harder.
@k8sMum That was last time. There're trying to correct it this time, and thats why they called it "Wii" last time, for We, and "Wii U" this time, for We AND You. So hopefully they do a good job of that.
@CEOJumpMad NICE! Anyway, that's really cool. I'm glad Nintnedo not behind the car with a guun yelling, "DONT TAKE MY IP'S!!!!" and shooting at police force. Then agian, Nintendo DOES have the money to buy the police.
