I hate this time of year because you realize just how many games you need to get. These games include Star Fox Zero, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Shovel Knight, Halo 5, and Battlefront (gulps).
I highly doubt this game will be an instant success, but I'm not saying that this could be one of the best Nintendo games of 2016. Yeah, of course the hype is real!
Yeah, I agree. Although I do like Nintendo's controllers (the minority of them, anyway), I feel as though the Xbox and Playstation controllers feel better in the hands. Maybe it's just me, I don't know.
But having the screen implemented would be awesome because Nintendo knows how to use touch controls, as we all know.
I had an awesome idea for a controller. Imagine an Xbox or Playstation controller. Now, picture a thin groove vertically through the middle of the controller of the front and back. What if you could pull on one side of the controller and the two parts would separate, revealing a medium sized touch screen?
This would be incredible as you can choose to play in a more ergonomic controller or have the added touch controls with the screen.
I wish McDonald's would just drop their toy line once and for all just so we can ignore the ridiculous accusations. First there is the cursing Minions, now an erected Mario? Why, just why?!
Absolutely adore the Directs, keep them going! Obviously they won't be nearly as enjoyable without Iwata on the stage, but even so, Nintendo could give someone else the spotlight just to give out the news.
You know what, they should just have Iwata's puppet do all the work.
@MightyKrypto Phil Spencer has done things like this for a while now. This is why people like him, because, being a gamer himself, he shares his honesty and delivers fan expectation.
@gatorboi352 Thanks, I already knew that. If too much stress induced when making one Smash game after six years, then making one each year would be overwhelming.
This is why I'm a Nintendo fanboy. Imagine getting a new Smash Bros. every year? Not only would the games get boring after a while, but it would put to much stress on the development team. I'd much rather have the Big N focus on delivering quality games than making more of the same.
@shani Umm, excuse me?! Do yourself a favor and look at half the comments on here. Obviously it's a server issue, not an Internet connection problem. I have a 25 Mbps download speed. Before you say that my internet is broken, maybe reconsider what you're saying.
What I'm trying to say is that Splatoon's local multiplayer is broken and doesn't live up to the Big N's standards. Usually they offer awesome local play like they did in Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros.
However, Splatoon currently offers 1v1 battles outside of online matches with is definitely disappointing. And considering the fact that your friends can't even use Wii remotes, that mode is almost unusable (at least if you're like me and don't own multiple pro/classic controllers, which I'm guessing most of you don't either).
Oh, and where's local online play? They had it in Mario Kart and Smash Bros., so why not here?
Playing with friends online is great, but I was really hoping for some local action. Please Nintendo, fix this soon. Support your fans!
The story may have been different with the Wii, where almost everyone had it. I'm not saying they should remove online multiplayer, I'm just hoping they add REAL local play.
Splatoon is a lot of fun when playing solo, but when you're trying to play with friends it's a nightmare.
First of all, I only play online with people I know, not strangers off Miiverse. In the end, playing online with friends is pointless. Besides, most of my friends don't even have Wii U's. Face it Nintendo, people play with their friends on Xbox and Playstation. Proven fact.
On top of that, you can't even have your friends play with you locally without a classic controller or pro controller! What the hay, Nintendo! Seriously, I shouldn't have to go out and buy another controller JUST TO PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS.
Heck, you can't even do split-screen online multiplayer. I find this amusing because people marvel at Nintendo for being the only ones still offering local play. Advanced Warfare and Halo 5 are missing out on it, and as a result people gravitate toward Nintendo's split-screen games such as Mario Kart 8 and (even though it's not split-screen, it's still local multiplayer) Super Smash Bros. Realize that PEOPLE CARE. Give your loyal fanboys what they deserve.
Seriously Nintendo, you must've been smoking something strong when you were developing Splatoon.
Does anyone know if Nintendo will finally allow you to upload replay clips that were not compatible with the last few updates? I was very upset about that...
Everything about this game seems like a dream come true. Small details such as the snap of the fingers when going into editing mode, or the hand on the screen make Super Mario Maker seem like an even better game. Hype, anyone?
@6ch6ris6 Maybe we can both conclude that I'm enraged about Nintendo's decision to launch several 3DS exclusives this year/next year. Nintendo's almost shaming the Wii U.
@6ch6ris6 I'm tired of these 3DS fanboys who are demanding more exclusives. As if you don't have enough already, Nintendo is releasing even more in the near future. Want Super Mario Maker? Buy a Wii U.
Shocked. Rest in peace, Iwata. Thanks for your commitment toward delivering quality games for young and old alike. You have given me and many others around the world several fond memories revolving around Nintendo games. Thank you.
Haha, Ubisoft made a huge mistake titling this game "Zombi". Not only does it sound out of place, but they clearly didn't intend to take the "U" out of ZombiU. I guess they were hoping to make a legendary third-party game for the Wii U.
Absolute bogus. Why give details of the on your next home console at E3 2016 and release it a month later? Nintendo admits that they still have to satisfy their current Wii U owners, so I don't expect a new console coming within a year.
