Hunter-D

Superb review, thoroughly enjoyable read. I've had this pre-ordered for a long time and I'm happy to have stuck with it.

I'm assuming that this will be an eShop title.

Just get rid of the walking vomit also known as the "Wii U difference" ad campaign.

This is more like it.

Apart from Legends debacle Ubisoft have been great towards Nintendo & the Wii U. They support them not only through their words, but with games too.

It's nice to see that their ZombiU risk paid off for them when it came to developing Watch_Dogs too.

Hmmm, I may give this a go!

Will probably do this on Art Academy: SketchPad.

Why enter a tournament to see who's the best when you're just going to cheat?

Baffles me.

So far all of your videos have been amazing, Rory!

You can now add this to your collection.

Pokkén

Pokémon X Tekken.

Shin'en never cease to amaze me...

Your review deserves a wonderful thumbs up

It has been a while...

This weekend I'll mainly be playing Pokemon Black 2, Dream Team Bros. & Fire Emblem Awakening (still going strong) for the 3DS.

On the Wii U it's going to be Pikmin 3 and the ever-so-lovely Art Academy: Sketchpad

On my PS3 (yes, I finally got one) I will be welcoming in the new BPL season with FIFA 13, and if I have some time, Tales of Xillia will get a go!

Probably the NSMB2 DLC packs for me. Good thing I waited

Will get this soon. Love to draw casually while taking my time!

Oh Shibata...You're so cool. I'm actually crying...

@Humphries90 I know, which is why I said that in my initial post

"Nintendo Direct is used to announce/provide details for upcoming games only."

@Humphries90 Nintendo Direct is used to announce/provide details for upcoming games only.

Hopefully it should be good, I want more info on Super Mario 3D World.

Well I had this pre-ordered for an absolute AGE, but it kept getting pushed back until it was taken down completely.

I'll pre-order this as I wanted this game, if it doesn't work out then that's also fine as I've got plenty of games already and I'll just wait for Break Record on the 3DS when it releases in 2020... unless Ninty buys Atlus

It's delicious.

Well that certainly is a disappointment...

but I remember the whole Batman DLC debacle for the Wii U, it took a while but it was finally confirmed.

This shouldn't be happening at all, I just can't wrap my mind around incomplete Wii U ports/multiplatform releases. Just doesn't add up.

What message are they trying to send?

"You can’t get a true feel for Mario on smartphone or tablet"

Amongst other things.

Keep sticking to your guns, Ninty.

If you do it correctly, you get this.

@MadAussieBloke Very true, forgot to consider DLC on this occasion.

I guess we're just going to have to see how this one turns out.

It's a funny idea but a waste of time in my opinion. People get angry/annoyed when their favourite characters get cut. They complain when other franchises aren't represented, yet they turn to a petition to get Reggie in the game and 'supposedly' take a valuable slot?

Just a quick pointer. Those with a Wii U should REALLY follow Maidens. He's a really cool guy, amazing artist, good sense of humour, very polite and down-to-earth. Just take a look through his posts. His contribution is outstanding.

@MrBlutzIII Oh, yeah. We should definitely be seeing more people now. I'm getting Ghosts on the Wii U at launch. I've had plenty of fun playing BOII with friends/family.

Pikmin 3 will be my first adventure into this gorgeous world.

The multiplayer mode in this looks awesome too!

@MrBlutzIII Sorry, should have been more clear.

I meant it's hard to find matches apart from Team Deathmatch & Domination. Those are the only modes that the majority of players choose.

The only other times I was able to play another mode was on Double XP weekends (or double weapon XP) and when you also factor in a "best" connection quality filter, you get even less people.

"but can you really expect a company to put in the effort to code the DLC for a platform which has such a small install base when the other versions sold in the 10's of millions EACH? " @taffy

True, but I also think that they haven't provided DLC for BLOPSII as this would divide the very small user-base even more. Last I played it was hard enough to find a match. Add DLC into this picture, and those without it will have an even smaller pool of players for match-making.

I want to flip the patty.

About. Damn. Time.

If the rest of our clan get it, so will I.

This story isn't new. He was asked the same question a while back and almost gave the exact same answer.

Anyway, I'm fine with that. Seeing as Sakurai said they've got something else planned for us instead.

Well congratulations, Nintendo. Onwards and upwards from here.

A long and hard journey is in front of us, but as long as we have the games then your message will spread!

Tempting, but the box is on its way!

Here are some of my favs.

"we still crack out the dusty old console from time to time to indulge in a spot of remote mine-related tomfoolery."

I want to visit you guys.

Ugh... of all the times.

I haven't played AC in weeks. Got burnt out.

Anyway, Good luck to all the other contestants. This sounds fun!

It may yet see more of a rise. Especially when you consider the upcoming titles.

Seriously, the Wii U can't do any worse than it's doing now. Pikmin 3, W101, SM3DW, Sonic Lost World.

@TonLoco Yeah. Something like 12/13 years?

Although I heard that it was being considered but it's looks like it will happen sooner rather than later.

It is a very good week for the 3DS over here.

NintendoLand also placed 33 in the individual format charts.

I will eventually download Petit Computer.

Pikmin 3 will be a physical purchase.

:') that was beautiful!

I always thought that Ninty would be a suitable buyer and I'm not just talking about SMT X FE.

Not only would Nintendo fans benefit from the amazing games but this will also open Atlus up to a larger crowd. So far they've had a niche, cult-like following. Their name deserves to be spread.

Handheld + 3D = Awesome Pinball experience.

Although playing on the GamePad is SOOOO comfortable.

Hmm, but yeah, if I had to pick then Pinball on the 3DS comes out on top.

Don't forget the Digital Deluxe Promotion. You'll be making some good points by using this opportunity as well as getting a 30% discount for W101.

Yeah, but you can expect two characters representing Fire Emblem from the next Smash Bros. as there have been two from the last two games.

I'm thinking the likely duo would be Marth (Smash Veteran) & Chrom.

Happy to see it turn out well, nice review!

@AceSpadeS Those were awesome games, both Super & Ultimate Stars.

What about One Piece Gigant Battle 1 & 2?

Enjoyable interview, was an interesting read.

Oh yeah, Chrom WILL be in the next Smash Bros.

I mean he just has to...right?

@ThomasBW84 Yup, LM2 still showing strong legs, in fact last week it jumped 5 places from 19th. M&L and ACNL holding 2nd & 3rd. MK7 crept into 40th place and DKCR3D was standing at 33. It's been doing quite well.

It's a donkey.
