servers are cheap for microsoft, they use their own technology and do not charge themselves for it. Everyone else has to cough up money to server software providers (AKA Microsoft).
@BMDNERD Cause it should not be there in the first place, not in a retail game. I understand the concept of micro-transactions in F2P games, and I understand buying DLC created to add more content later on to a game. But for a retail game, They will break it on purpose to make you pay. Make some incredibly almost unbeatable boss to entice people to pay them more money.
The only 3rd party games that will have success on the Wii U are games developed for the Wii U specifically I believe. Multiplats are not selling on Wii U right now. Especially half-hearted efforts.
@SparkOfSpirit Its not the 7, its 5 that its been scoring everywhere else.
I have played plenty of games with horrible reviews that I have enjoyed. But the general public is not going to throw 60 bucks at a game with a low score even if it is a good game.
Nintendo should just patch the Wii you so that the 3DS can be used as a second "gamepad" although short 2 buttons. Everyone is the world practically owwns a 3ds. Shoot I have 3 in my house alone
I am glad that Rayman was released on multiple systems and bombed. If it would have bombed as a Nintendo exclusive, the Wii U would have got all the blame.
I hated it at first site, till I play the game. The moment I had the game in front of me and the controller in my hand I was like baby, for Christmas I want a game cube with Zelda.

Re: E3 2014: No DLC In The Works For Content-Rich Bayonetta 2
No DLC means you got the complete game when you first paid for it.
When ever DLC is announced before a game has been out for a while I feel robbed.
Re: E3 2014: Shigeru Miyamoto Confirms Star Fox for Wii U
It would be insane if they showed Metroid, Zelda and Starfox today.
I think people's brains would just explode.
Re: E3 2014: Shigeru Miyamoto Confirms Star Fox for Wii U

Re: Pokémon X & Y Pass 1.8 Million Retail Sales to Top Japanese Charts
Nintendo is gonna have to make a steeper cut in the price of the Wii U for it to sell. in the 200 dollar range.
Re: Poll: Did You Pick Up Pokémon X, Pokémon Y or Both?
Not my cup of tea.
Re: Watch_Dogs Pushed Back to Spring 2014
This will now almost definitely not sell good on the Wii U, Spring brings Donkey Kong and Mario Kart, plus who knows what else.

Re: Monster Hunter 4 Surpasses Three Million Sales in Japan
A Wii U port would be better, this looks a little too intense for the 3DS. But we take what they give us.
They can co-produce and release both to the West like they did with 3U.
They already raked in more profits than expected.
