Hardware sales will have a slight bump but will drop off back to normal the following month, I think the game will do better with current owners but struggle to pull in new ones.
@FullbringIchigo What you said is true to an extent but retailers wouldn't keep buying something that isn't selling, this leads me to believe the XBone has still passed Wii U numbers in terms of sold to consumers.
If you're on mobile the extra squares don't even appear, basically they mean nothing and all we know for certain is that we're getting at least 3 dlc characters.
@Sanya Yeah you basically described online, it would have been neat if LAN party acted as local multiplayer but given the fact you need and accessory for ethernet support I doubt it would be worth the time.
@Hero-of-WiiU Sad thing is DK64 in UK/EU is the 50hz version so I'd much rather wait a week or two for the 60hz one.
@TingLz I never feel the need to buy Pokemon twice and really as long as you got a friend or someone to trade with you get pretty much everything you would buying two games. I can't see that being the case here which is why I really want to know just how much these games share of then characters.
Nintendo will ride the Wii U out for most likely 2 more years (could be 1 but I doubt it) but the majority of people have written it at this point that can't be argued with. Honestly people overreacted to the Zelda delay and if not for Twilight Princess I don't think we'd be seeing so many assumptions of Zelda U possibly being on NX.
@audiobrainiac Killzone Mercenary felt 100 times better than this game control wise and is what developers should be taking notes on when making fps games for handhelds, this game felt clunky and poor in comparison.
Would be both excited and disappointed if it was real (don't remotely think it is). excited that the best Paper Mario gets more recognition and for the chance to play it again, disappointed that it would be on 3DS instead or Wii U where it would look so much better.

Re: Zelda-Style Adventure Midora Runs Out Of Kickstarter Cash, Future Of Wii U And 3DS Versions Uncertain
This is why I'm not too keen on showing support to projects via ways like kickstarter, backers are just not protected enough.
Re: Video: Mute City in Mario Kart 8 Just Got Crazy Courtesy of 200cc Racing
Just isn't the same and makes me want a proper F-Zero more.
Re: Rumour: Upcoming Mario Kart 8 DLC to Include Baby Park and Neo Bowser City
Yes to Baby Park and yes to Neo Bowser City, this would make me happy if true.

Re: Analyst Thinks Nintendo Is Already Winding Down Wii U Ahead Of Nintendo NX Launch
@FullbringIchigo I thought XBone passed it some time ago? I mean its been heavily outselling Wii U for months now.
Re: Rumour: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 Teased For Nintendo Release
@Hy8ogen A year or two after release and probably only one extra map.
Re: GAME Launches UK Pre-Orders for Splatoon amiibo and New Wave for Super Smash Bros.
@TwilightAngel I wouldn't pay £100 either as I'm not an idiot, I look around and get the ones I want for £10/11 (what they are supposed to cost).
Re: GAME Launches UK Pre-Orders for Splatoon amiibo and New Wave for Super Smash Bros.
Nope, there is no way I'd ever pay £15 per amiibo Game are an absolute disgrace.
Re: Empty Slots on Super Smash Bros. Site Suggests More Upcoming DLC Characters
If you're on mobile the extra squares don't even appear, basically they mean nothing and all we know for certain is that we're getting at least 3 dlc characters.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Plans for DLC and Microtransactions Point to Changed Priorities
At this point it is clear that dlc is becoming more frequent because Nintendo aren't able to produce new games quick enough.
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders for Splatoon Bundles and amiibo
@Grumblevolcano I fought the Squid one only came in the bundle, so it can't lock away content? can it?
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders for Splatoon Bundles and amiibo
Tempted but the stand alone game is so cheap at TGC.

Re: Review: Mario Kart DS (Wii U eShop / DS)
@Sanya Yeah you basically described online, it would have been neat if LAN party acted as local multiplayer but given the fact you need and accessory for ethernet support I doubt it would be worth the time.
@Hero-of-WiiU Sad thing is DK64 in UK/EU is the 50hz version so I'd much rather wait a week or two for the 60hz one.
Re: Review: Mario Kart DS (Wii U eShop / DS)
@Sanya But thats just online then and would require servers so why not just make the online function instead, lol.
Re: Review: Mario Kart DS (Wii U eShop / DS)
@Phantom_R How could you give it a 10 when there is no multiplayer on the Wii U version.
Re: Retrospective: Sega's Streets of Rage Series
Second is and probably always be my favourite with Skate being my favourite character to use.
Re: New Fire Emblem on 3DS Takes Shape as Two Separate Releases in Japan
@TingLz I never feel the need to buy Pokemon twice and really as long as you got a friend or someone to trade with you get pretty much everything you would buying two games. I can't see that being the case here which is why I really want to know just how much these games share of then characters.
Re: New Fire Emblem on 3DS Takes Shape as Two Separate Releases in Japan
OK now that I understand a bit better this doesn't sound good, why can't both options be one game and the third dlc.
Re: Gallery: Yarn Yoshi Is Just Too Darn Cute
Tempted to make myself a Yarn Yoshi, they're just so cuddly.
Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Reckons "It Would Be Cool" if Rare's Banjo Was Voted in as Super Smash Bros. DLC

Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate April DLC Available Now, Featuring Sonic Palico Gear
I need to get down to the dlc quests as I haven't even attempted them.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Turns to Classics, DLC and amiibo to Keep Fans Hooked
I like the dlc for the most part but in the end all it is is filler to keep current owners occupied.
Re: It's Not An April Fool, The Binding Of Issac: Rebirth Really Is Coming To The New 3DS And Wii U
Will get on Wii U.
Re: Mewtwo And Lucas Confirmed As Super Smash Bros. DLC Characters

Re: Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem Wii U Crossover is Finally Shown
@Kaze_Memaryu I can see the FE likeness at points but I just kept getting a Persona vibe.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem Wii U Crossover is Finally Shown
@Kaze_Memaryu It seems to be heavily favouring SMT both in style and combat but I'm not complaining as I love both series.

Re: Talking Point: It's Too Early to Write Off the Wii U Over The Legend of Zelda's Delay
Nintendo will ride the Wii U out for most likely 2 more years (could be 1 but I doubt it) but the majority of people have written it at this point that can't be argued with.

Out of Safety I'd advise EU CN members to register their stars today.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 1st April, With Updates on Wii U and 3DS
@RupeeClock Its at 11pm like the article says, I done goofed before.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 1st April, With Updates on Wii U and 3DS
@Grumblevolcano And you're totally right did not even clock that happened ( ) been busy all last week might be why.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 1st April, With Updates on Wii U and 3DS
@ThomasBW84 I realised its actually 10pm for the UK.
Edit: I'm dumb ignore this.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 1st April, With Updates on Wii U and 3DS
Wish the UK Direct wasn't at 11pm, hate being sleepy during a Direct as I miss stuff sometimes.

Re: IRONFALL Invasion Hits 300,000 Downloads as Free Update Arrives With Enhancements
@audiobrainiac Killzone Mercenary felt 100 times better than this game control wise and is what developers should be taking notes on when making fps games for handhelds, this game felt clunky and poor in comparison.
Re: Feature: Ten Must-Play Games for the Nintendo 3DS
FE:A is a real treat, I'd probably put MH4U and KI:U instead of some of the games.
Re: The Legend of Zelda for Wii U No Longer Set for 2015 Release
Had hoped for 2015 release but not surprised with the delay given the footage shown so far, still disappointed.
Re: Talking Point: That Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door 3DS Rumour Looks Fake, But Do You Want it to be True?
Would be both excited and disappointed if it was real (don't remotely think it is). excited that the best Paper Mario gets more recognition and for the chance to play it again, disappointed that it would be on 3DS instead or Wii U where it would look so much better.
