I was already getting this game, but after the demo I am looking forward to this so much. I haven't been this excited about getting a game since Skyward Sword.
@Kaze_Memaryu ' Anyone else noticed how this is basically the Mario universe equivalent of Xenoblade's Frontier Village' This is pretty much the only thing I can agree with.
These prices are horrible (apart from the console bundle). Just like Splatoon. £35 for the base game plus a shirt no one will ever wear... When you can get the game for £25 elsewhere.
The attach rate must be pretty good though. Either way it's a great console, just not sales wise... Which isn't good for Nintendo, but at least they're still putting out great games for it, which is pretty much all that they can do (except advertise more -_-). Hope Splatoon does well, seems pretty popular already but maybe that's just a very vocal minority.
Hopefully this will help. I think the last thing I've seen advertised was Mario Party, I never once saw a Smash Wii U advert, only 3DS. It's been pretty appalling, I don't understand it at all, you would ALWAYS see Wii adverts, but they just don't seem to care anymore.
I know people will just say how it's fine because it gives them more time to make the game great, but seriously how long are people going to buy that? They should really just learn to work faster, or not give something a date to begin with.
This seems entirely unnecessary, though I wouldn't be opposed to having the option. It's not like Zelda doesn't have strong female characters though, so making Link female just for the sake of it is stupid.
One of the first games I got for the Wii U was Trine 2 and I played it so much in those early months. Online was often hilarious and ended up with people trying to kill each other or box each other in with the wizard. Will probably pick this up when it comes
I never quite understood why it came out after only the second film, I suppose more money. But I guess not anymore... The film was incredibly disappointing anyway, except the last 20 minutes or so.

Re: Nintendo Download: 7th May (North America)
Pretty bad week... Downloaded the Splatoon demo, can't wait for my 1 hour .-.

Re: Exclusive: Behind The Scenes On Playtonic's Yooka-Laylee
It's at over 80% already... crazy. At this rate it'll reach the million anyway.
Re: First Impressions: Hands On With Playtonic's Yooka-Laylee
Dat music.
Re: Exclusive: Behind The Scenes On Playtonic's Yooka-Laylee
Day one console release is 1 Million stretch goal... what.
Re: PAL Gamers Can Brighten Their Day With This Club Nintendo Majora's Mask Light
Do want. No where near enough stars anymore after getting the ALBW soundtrack though. Sigh

This is pretty much the only thing I can agree with.

Re: Splatoon Creation Was Inspired by Rare's Perfect Dark
Except it's a third person shooter...
I can't really see the influence.
If anything it's like Team Fortress.

@DarthNocturnal Completing all cups on 150cc
Re: Hands On: Hitting the Tracks in Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2 and 200cc Mode
These all look gorgeous o_o
Re: Marvel at the Launch Trailer, Live Music and Tracks of Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2
These tracks look great, better than the ones in the first pack, though those were still good.
200cc is gunna be crazy
Re: Ubisoft Announcement Suggests More Child Of Light 'Universe' Games Are On the Way
Child of Light was brilliant, easily one of my favourite games from last year. Hopefully it's something similar, and on Wii U.
Re: Video: Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power is Shaping Up Rather Nicely
Looks really great, it seems that Trine 2 did pretty well on Wii U so I'm hopeful it'll be coming.
Re: Video: Super Smash Bros. Glitch Turns Kirby Into A Great Ball Of Fire
I've seen something similar to this happen online once, it was weird.
Re: Weirdness: Fans Reimagine the Game of Thrones Intro as the Opening for A Link to the Past
Visually it's amazing, but the theme doesn't work.
Re: The Legend of Zelda for Wii U No Longer Set for 2015 Release
I know people will just say how it's fine because it gives them more time to make the game great, but seriously how long are people going to buy that?
They should really just learn to work faster, or not give something a date to begin with.
Re: Feature: Ten Must-Play Games for the Nintendo 3DS
@Caryslan Your hatred for ALBW aside, OoT 3D DID make the list.
Great list, glad ALBW beat out the two remakes.
Re: Poll: Vote For Your Ten Must-Play Games On Nintendo 3DS
A Link Between Worlds
FE: Awakening
Those are the best IMO.
Need to play Kid Icarus and Luigi's Mansion soon.
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (New Nintendo 3DS)
@abbyhitter ALBW isn't full of garbage fetch quests
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (New Nintendo 3DS)
Probably won't get this, still have it on Wii, but they're releasing the cover plates separately when it launches right?

@JaniN83 You leave that ponytail alone!

Will probably pick this up when it comes

Practically every enemy type shown
The music

Are there any original ideas in this game?
@Fazermint Also you're assuming everyone liked Wind Waker.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Reportedly Promises That Mewtwo Super Smash Bros. DLC is Coming "Pretty Soon"
@Boidoh That's what I was asking originally. And then you were snarky. Guess your only choice is to buy Smash Wii U.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Reportedly Promises That Mewtwo Super Smash Bros. DLC is Coming "Pretty Soon"
@Boidoh because eShop cards are only sold in the USA... '-'
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Reportedly Promises That Mewtwo Super Smash Bros. DLC is Coming "Pretty Soon"
@Boidoh Why don't you have access to eShop cards?

@Grimlock_King lol.
Re: Exclusive: Affordable Space Adventures Pricing Confirmed, Aims to Retain Value Of Wii U Exclusive
Rather expensive for what it looks like, I suppose it depends on the content, so providing it's actually good I may still pick this up.

Re: Splatoon eShop Listing Continues Speculation of amiibo Support
I'm guessing they'll just unlock clothing or something, but a new inkling range would be cool.
Re: A Cowboy's Tale from Nexis Games Rides to the Wii U eShop in 2016
'Open-world' but I bet it'll be tiny
Re: Poll: Which 2015 Nintendo Blockbusters Should Have amiibo Support?
Star Fox, Splatoon.
I don't see Zelda working with it.
Re: Feature: A Summary of the Xenoblade Chronicles X Battle Presentation
If it's half as good as Xenoblade it'll still be a great game, but it's looking to be even better, so fingers crossed
Re: Short Fan Film is Set to Chronicle the Final Battle Between Link and Ganondorf
@Tsurii897 also yeah, that Navi was awful lol.
Re: Short Fan Film is Set to Chronicle the Final Battle Between Link and Ganondorf
