Shame everyone is being so dismissive, this game is actually incredibly fun. There's a discord where the dev is totally active too, and plays against people in the server.

It's a fantastic game, really great for quick pick up and play sessions and some intense multiplayer. It's really a crying shame it came out alongside so many other releases, including the much hyped Golf Story, cause it deserves to be played. Sadly it seems gamers still have yet to get past the idea that a simplistic game doesn't deserve to cost more than $5.

Geez, Ryan is really cute :0

So what about the TV button my the gamepad? It'd really bother me if that button is now just a useless button that does nothing.

Three steps on the side of the box

1: Gamecube controller.
2: GC/WiiU adapter.
3: Coffee cup.

They talk about it in that article.

Hm, want it on WiiU, but that 3DS discount is tempting. May end up getting both eventually, but I'll grab 3DS one first.

@rjejr: That's not really the game's fault, though Being stuck in a game doesn't make it a bad game. If that was the case, there wouldn't be any good NES games XD

I'd love a system that does true HD for the NES, but 500+ is absurd.

They're full of crap. They obviously don't care about the Wii U. Having the Wii U version come out later will completely destroy its sales, and if they really cared, they'd delay all versions. And don't tell me they can't, because it certainly didn't stop them when Rayman Legends was delayed.

Agreed, WiiLovePeace. $15 for Super Mario Bros. with a cool twist is nothing. Throwing in these little mini games and a take on NES Championship is just an awesome bonus.

Wow, some of you are getting downright offended over this. Relax. It was a random selection, and it's for a bloody pizza. Is missing out on that really crushing your entire universe?

@KeeperBvK: Agreed, I thought it could be serious,but the fact that he called the Metroid's Samus just immediately makes it obvious it's all a joke.

These are pretty funny, no trout, but some of them are just cod awful.

What's with this trend of making Wii U ports a stretch goal?

To be fair, the Wii Punchout didn't have that. Skyward Sword matches the Zelda one perfectly, though

@Salnax : He can totally jump in the first two :/

I don't even like turn based RPGs, and I might buy this. I tried it a little before, and the comedy is spot on. I just wish it were an ARPG, but ah well.

I need to get a 3DS...

Aw, I was hoping that Retro Studios was going to be doing this. Ah well, hopefully if it really is F-Zero it'll be good.

PLEASE be Prince of Persia. And PLEASE be good.

It doesn't look like they're going to make it, though :/

I seriously doubt Nintendo was actually worried about it. It was probably more of a lighthearted thing. Considering how he holds it in the final film (very daintily), it's possible the original had him holding it more rough and clumsy like.

And all across the Wii U user base, a collective "Eh." was heard.

@SCAR392 : I know, I meant the control scheme.

I hope Pikmin 3 plays like the Pikmin game in Nintendoland. That game was really good.

@DarkKirby: But that was a pre rendered cutscene. We all know those aren't really how the game will be. They claimed all of this was how the game was actually going to look and play. They flat out lied, not mislead.

@GiftedGimp: Except after everything Gearbox did wrong, I don't think Sega would trust them with more money. Even if it did turn out well, people already lost interest. It wouldn't make even half the money back. At this point, it's better to just let it die quietly.

If the unit was to be recycled for some water bottles or some crap, what harm would it do if someone took it and used it? The reason recycling exists is so that things aren't left in landfills that could be used for other purposes. If it's being used for it's initial purpose and not filling a landfill, what's the problem?

@mariobro4: The fact that the game is terrible and no matter what they did to the Wii U version it'll still be a low mediocre at the unrealistically best?

After all the awful reviews (and from what I understand, Gearbox's outright lies to SEGA about what they were doing with the money), SEGA probably doesn't want to release it because they'd just lose more money.

Let's be honest, even if this version is actually fantastic and everything we thought it'd be, it would still do average at best in sales because everyone already lost interest and had their views tainted by the horrible reviews.

I'd prefer it doesn't ever come out. We don't need something like this damaging the Wii U's library.

If the whole game is that funny, count me in.

Bought F-Zero yesterday, and just picked this up. There's no reason not to. I'll probably get Super Metroid and Kirby when they come out.

ProJared's thoughts on the game. He basically explains, or at least gives a very hard to dismiss theory, on why the game ended up so bad, and how the developers basically lied and hid the fact that the game was a mess.

@edhe: Agreed. In fact, something about this game gives me the feeling it isn't going to be all that great.

NFC shouldn't be used as a way to gouge more money out of us. However, if NFC was added to different figures and collectibles from popular franchises and using it just added little bonuses and cool effects, then that would be cool. I buy gaming related figurines all the time. If they just also happened to interact with their respective companies games, that would be cool.

@Punky: Agreed. I love Super Meat Boy, it's one of my favourite games, but I wish they wouldn't act like that

Nintendo owns the rights to the D-Pad, don't they? They could sue just for that, especially since it's near identical.

I love RUNNER, it's such a great game, but..... Ugh, I just hate the style and tone this game has taken. It left the whole "Retro Reboot" style behind and instead went with "We did all of the coke" style.

@Haxonberik, Scott Pilgrim on XBLA was really good, too. The Simpsons Game, The Incredibles, Lord of the Rings The Two Towers, Toy Story 2, and The World is Not Enough are all good too. Harry Potter 4 is also not terrible, if I remember correctly.

Let's not forget Spiderman 2, as well.

Exactly. Everyone should buy this game because it is actually a fantastic game. But buy it on the Wii U if you have the option, not on the others. Though it's rather doubtful, if the Wii U sales surpassed or at least met the sales of the other consoles, Ubisoft might stop thinking their games will fail on the platform.

I don't see the big deal. Yeah, it's a little lame, but to not buy the game? Relax. Support this game, don't be stupid. If you want exclusives to last on the Wii U, don't freak out over something so small. The game is still Wii U exclusive (and 3ds, but you know what I mean), and it hasn't been delayed.

By being whiny and boycotting the game, you're just going to damage the game's sales, and make Capcom think people don't want the game, or at least not on this console.

The problem isn't that they ported it, it's that the push is almost definitely just to port the game and have them all release simultaneously.

Yes, it sucks that it's no longer exclusive. It's a hard blow to the console. But is it really so bad? If the game is actually good, I'm glad others will get to experience it too. Besides, I'm pretty positive the WiiU version will still be definitive, since the game was developed with the tablet in mind. The other versions will most likely have some sort of shortcut or clunky control scheme to get around it.

Unless they change the Wii U version to match the other two more, or add a bunch of bonus stuff to the other two versions to make up for it, in which case, yeah, up yours Ubisoft.

I feel like the industry needs to stop assuming that low sales=bad product or marketing. People don't have a lot of spending money these days. They could've done everything right, and released it along side a new Zelda or Smash Bros, and I guarantee it still wouldn't have sold as well as they wanted.

As for Iwata leaving, I agree it sounds more like he's just not considering failure as an option and not that he'll step down. Iwata clearly has a passion for games, something other big developers seem to lack. I think Nintendo would be crazy to let him step down.

@Farmboy74: Unfortunately, I feel as though many "developers" will still view the Wii U as a family console, despite Nintendo's efforts to bring back long-time gamers, and thus, no matter what, we will continue to have these releases.

That said, I feel it may be on a much smaller scale than the Wii. Not only was the Wii U marketed more as a traditional console and not "HEY, YOUR GRANDMA CAN PLAY TOO! HOW 'BOUT DAT?!" but Miiverse seems to indicate that people aren't buying into this trash.

Say it with me, people: GREEDY!

Glad someone bought South Park. I was really scared the game would get canned.

@TrueWiiMaster I certainly hope so. At least, the developers of the games could have sales. If I'm not mistaken, Sega held a couple sales on the Wii VC at one point. I don't see why the same couldn't happen now.

Also, side thought. While it might be unlikely, wouldn't it be freaking amazing if split screen games allowed one player to be on the Gamepad alone, so their screen wouldn't appear on the TV? An option to toggle that would be even better.

I read somewhere that porting your Wii VC games to the Wii U would require a dollar or so in order to upgrade them for use with the Gamepad? Is that true?

@Kinsale Is there a North American lineup?
