incomplete, outdated, broken games in not selling shocker

Interactive comics, please

You can start with Bayonetta

Hello. Im from Yorkshire

How Much!?

Luckily for me, I bought AC3 brand new for £8 last week, so I already know how rubbish it is and saved myself £3 this week

I might be stupid enough to pick up Marvel, though

I didn't buy it either. I don't live in Japan though

P.S. I think you rename the site Nintendodeath. Editorial team? Nah.

Wathced the third video. That's my last one now. It's clearly looking like a very good Mario game. Day One.

Wow. Mario 64 and Zelda OOT have retained the 'greatest game ever' tag at the end of the first generation of HD consoles. Says it all, really.

Easy choice for Nintendo really. They are allowing cross platform online because they benefit from the increase in online players. I doubt Sony or Microsoft will be open to sharing. Console wars, ahoy.

@Technosphile Latest update on Kickstarter says that they had to scrap the handling model and build a new one from scratch. November rlease is looking unlikely

Could it be related to the 'pre-order' DLC?

Injustice forces the download of all DLC whether you pay to unlock it, or not

"If, for example, the Wii U were to be portable in its own right we’d probably reconsider. But for the moment..."

That's it confirmed then. In a future update the GamePad will be turned into a fully fledged handheld.

Actually, that's not possible C-Olimar. A 685% increase on nothing, would still be nothing.

Get your maths right if your gonna be funny

There is a very clear risk to console gamers from the 'mobile market'. I don't think it will be too long before one of the major studios pull out of console gaming altogether, and devotes itself to mobile.

I'm not so sure that 'innovative story telling' is how console games need to compete, though.

Being an English sports fan, I was a potential customer for a FIFA game.

I decided not to buy because of EAs reputation. I will not buy a game which could potentially have a server shutdown, after a mere 18 months.

Maybe EA should consider if past practice is affecting sales? I'm sure the current install base is made up of learned gamers. We make noise with our wallets. Not 'worst company' votes.

30p, or not. They all bought it. Doesn't look to me like Nintendo have been told that 50hz optimised is unacceptable.

Collective power makes change. (p.s Buy FairTrade)

OMG Third parties ditching XBox. Microsoft is DOOMED!!!

NSMBU DLC gives me confidence that when Nintendo do DLC, they'll do it well.

Looking at third party support, Ubisoft and WB are two major publishers supporting add-on content on Wii U. That just leaves Activision and EA as the ones who have DLC but aren't bothering, doesn't it?

Obviously

unproven filmmaker wants 50k?

This needs to come to The Proms

Neo Geo VC is still getting support. This needs to come to Wii U asap

So someone e-mailed customer services, and they said no? Is that it?

It's silly to think that the police overreacted because it looks like it does.

That nut who shot up a cinema appeared to think he was Batman villian. I'm sure it's possible that there a some asspiring 'jokers' fantasising about atrocities, out there.

It would be silly to dismiss it, regardless of the climate.

I bet it was some art school twat. Someone needs invoicing for the police time

All the retailers in Europe came together and purposely delayed release, by one week, to exact revenge on Nintendo for not reducing the stock price of the Wii U?

Yeah, I'm pretty high too, dude. Peace Out

Obviously, WB doesn't want to go toe to toe against Kirbys Adventure!

I echo MilesVor's and Dunban's frustrations

Being unable to redeem stars for accessories for new hardware or e-shop credit, kinda makes collecting the things pointless. No pun intended.

The trailer does seem to suggest a remake, not a re-release of the original. But that '1990/2013' date stamp is odd.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't look as horrible as Duck Tales does, I'll be happy

Getting good support from WB. And good games too

I wonder if a F.E.A.R game will come to Wii U

He sums up the impact of IOS gaming, perfectly, I think.

Can't say I agree on his opinion re third part support though. The console is getting cross platform releases. And surely exclusives like Monster Hunter, Bayonetta 2 and LEGO city can stand toe to toe with those titles that won't be on the system, this year.

If software is what drives the install base, and if cross platform releases only matter to people who own one console, I don't understand his assessment on third party support. Unless its based entirely on GTA

I am so happy that Bowser drinks tea

@sonic-doom

That happened once with ISS64. It was the number 1 football game in the late 90s. Im sure a lot of people on here would have good things to say about it.

It doesn't feature in any top selling N64 game list

@AbeVigoda

I would buy Madden on Wii U, instead of PS360, because of the GamePad features.

Although I won't be buying any EA Sports titles because the servers get cut off too soon, for my liking.

@Sun

The calculator is correct, but your formula is not. You are not accounting for the original whole number

100 x 125% + 100 = (100+125%)

Imagine sales have gone up by 25%. If you multiple 100 by 25%, you would get 25.

If sales were 100, and they have gone up by 25%, the answer cannot be 25

I dunno...Sun is Irish, might not be a troll

@Sun

If your gas bill was €100, and it went up by 125%, it would not be €125

That would be a 25% increase. A 125% increase makes it €225.

@Sun

If you have 100 and increase it by 125%, you add 125 to that 100. Giving you 225

You're right 200% is double, but a 200% increase would be triple (100+200)

I didn't appreciate the enhancement to gameplay that the GamePad can bring until I used it. And I can't say that I was warm to the idea of the GamePad, before then.

If I was fresh out of high school, grown up on 360, it would've been a difficult sell.

@mookysam

Not to take it off topic, but I would add programming code to the list of assets that can make games art

I wish they hadn't made a mess of this. I was looking forward to it, but I let go a while back now. Cancellation is irrelevant, really

One and One Story is the only 'love story game' that I have connected with.

I think the genius of design in One and One Story shows how difficult it is to tackle grown up issues through play.

I voted for Rayman in Jan, but not in March

I would have bought it, if it was available now, but I'm not so sure that I will buy it, come September, because of the competition on the shelves.

That's why I couldn't vote for it this time. But hey, maybe the promised challange mode freebie, will change my mind....

(it'll need to come before September though, if it arrives the same time as the retail release, I'll probably just download challenge mode and forget about the full game)

I would love to know how much was from the IOS $0.99 sale

@DarkKirby

Surely the EA Sports titles have gathered more lifetime sales than COD(?)

We've had 20 rolling years of annual releases

OK Amazon, its one thing to pay nothing in corporation tax and have terrible working conditions for your staff.

But to advertise Sony on a Nintendo product page. OUTRAGE!

@MilesVor
Good knowledge. Thanks for sharing. I was airing a worry that the people making the games don't know what a fun game is. (But yeah, Nintendo. Duh.)

Nintendo didn't think Goldeneye was good enough and Rare thought multiplayer was a stupid idea?

....that's a bit concerning

Ther are some IOS platformers that are actually pretty good. I don't enjoy playing with a virtual d-pad, so this news is good news, to me

P.S I totally wanted to make a Chuckle Brothers reference
