I got one here in Canada, but I live in the far north where the population is not that big to begin with, so our Gamestop had one ready for me the same day as the launch.
Aww D: I was going to pay full price for this game on Wii U. Much rather enjoy this game in the comfort of my living room other than on a PC. Big fan of Road Rash 64.
I wish Nintendo would just hire the guy to make a small animated-series (assuming that they keep the series as is without censorship). However they would have to get SEGA in on it too.
Not surprising. Judging from the screenshots on their site, the game looks too good to be on Wii U, and especially since this is an indie developer, chances are as good as 0%.
I can see some improvements, but like what @Kirk said, it's harder to navigate and read than the old layout (at least for me). I like how nice it looks, but the layout needs improvements of its own and hope to see it become better.
@Whopper744 No it isn't (thankfully). A bit challenging here and there maybe, but definitely no where as hard as Megaman. However I've only played 5 and 6 of the series, so I've never played 1-4.
Lin’s bikini change I can understand and agree with. I would even like her version of the costume to be available for my character as it looks pretty nice and cute.
However what I’m against is the removal of the bust slider. Taking away something that limits the detail of my character does not sit well with me.
@melonarius Easily one of the most annoying things about this game. I don't mind music during character's speaking but when you can barely hear what they're saying, and with no audio options, it's just ridiculous especially when it's a basic feature in most games.
@ThomasBW84 Nice touch adding the descriptor This should make review scores seem less harsh and let people know there's a chance the game might appeal to them (ya know, in case they just want a rating to determine their purchase). By the way, NintendoLife is always the first place I check for a review.
@Vash_Visionz @TeeJay Right, Sorry, my honest mistake. I guess it's because the people of Pokemon (The Pokemon Company) and Nintendo are associated so close to each other that I mistook them for one of the same.
Wow...that's something I would think a company that ISN'T would do. The guy was having pokemon theme parties and giveaways, doesn't seem like he was selling a product and making a profit of your IP for one, and he even cancelled the whole thing all together (not like he did it anyway). Was that really necessary to put the guy in that kind of hot water? Sorry, Nintendo, you're in the wrong here.
@VoodooTrumpet I think I'm going to join you bro. The only thing good I can say about my Wii U is Smash Bros. Anything else isn't even worth talking about. I feel like an idiot for choosing the Wii U over the PS4 tbh.
Smart. Give Wii U owners the false impression you were going to 100% release it on there, and with that Wii U backers pony up the cash to get it on their console. Some years later, you have to say “Oh yeah, about the Wii U, we were never 100% sure. Too bad, your loss”.
Well, Wii U, I think it's time I gave up on you, my new friend. It's getting ridiculous and Nintendo aren't being the best parents. I hear the Sony and the PC Elite calling me.
After they were so confident before on getting it run well on the Wii U, seeing as they now don't know if they'll be able to develop as they're using backers money is really disappointing. I wasn't planning on buying it (don't like racing sims), but having this game on the Wii U would good regardless.
@ikki5 I'm using the Canadian store, and I've noticed some pretty ridiculous price increase as well. I was thinking about getting Attack on Titan but for $50 CAD I rather wait on a sale. I was also thinking about getting one of the Wii Sports Purchase Pass, but those increased by $3.50 CAD. $5 I can understand, but $10 is just taking advantage of the consumers.
@ikki5 True that. I was kinda torn on which one to go with.
1)"I did, it was solid entertainment".
Um, it was quite good I guess, but I wouldn't say it was great entertainment.
2) "I didn't really enjoy it, to be honest".
No, I can't say that I didn't like it since I did at least had a little fun within the first time playing the demo.
Why is Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure not on here?! One of the absolute best games for 3DS I've played!
I haven't played most of those titles sadly but I had the most fun with these games:
Rhythm Thief & Emperor's Treasure
Super Smash Bros. 3DS
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies
Kid Icarus: Uprising
I tried the demo. Considering I was super excited for the game ever since I heard about it, I close the game feeling so disappointed. It just felt boring and the characters and voice acting has to be a special kind of awful. I'm sorry, VdDev, I really wanted to love this game but I don't think I can bare playing this.
While doing the legit way is cool, it'll take forever for me to complete my puzzles. No lie. I can't even get one streetpass when I take a walk downtown. The most I'll get is two and that's very rare.

One of the worst games I've played in a while.

That's not really impressive considering I've seen bundles on the site get way more sales.

Nice try, but I'm aware what today is (it was also said they won't do a 3DS Splatoon too)

The Wii U is so weak it can be emulated lol

Nope. Next question.

Another poor week. Kinda want another Capcom sale so I can get PW: Trilogy.

Re: Site News: Welcome To The Brand New Nintendo Life!
Also it would be nice if there was a 'light' and 'dark' theme switch (like on Youtube), as I think a black background would be easier on the eyes.

Re: The North American eShop Winter Warm-Up Sale Concludes With 15 More Discounts
Hey, Zero Last Escape is on sale. I think that's a first. Other than that this sale is disappointing
Re: Another 17 Games Get North American eShop Discounts in the Winter Warm-Up Sale
Getting Injustice from last week turned out well for me. Keeping my hopes high, this week is just disappointing.
Re: Poll: Are You Optimistic About Nintendo's 2016?
Do you think the Wii U will have a good 2016?
Nope. With barely any noticeable releases and the unavoidable presence of NX, the Wii U will definitely be pushed aside.
Re: 17 Games Get North American eShop Discounts in the Winter Warm-Up Sale
Guess I'm getting Injustice: Gods Among Us. Sure this will be pretty neat to play with a good friend.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Voice Actress Is In Favour Of Lin's Western Costume Change
Lin’s bikini change I can understand and agree with. I would even like her version of the costume to be available for my character as it looks pretty nice and cute.
However what I’m against is the removal of the bust slider. Taking away something that limits the detail of my character does not sit well with me.
Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2016
Pretty poor list if you ask me. Even the best games on there aren't even too appealing.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's 2015?
Overall, disappointing year for Nintendo. They could've done better, however I am slightly satisfied to some extent.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th December (North America)
Resident Evil Revelations on sale. Got it on my 3DS, but I won't mind playing it again on Wii U.
Or I could get MH4, but I'm not up for handheld gaming at the moment.
Re: Editorial: Xenoblade Chronicles X Has Tiny Text - Time for an Update?
@melonarius Easily one of the most annoying things about this game. I don't mind music during character's speaking but when you can barely hear what they're saying, and with no audio options, it's just ridiculous especially when it's a basic feature in most games.
Re: Review: Lucentek - Activate (Wii U eShop)
Even the first Xbox games looked better than this o_o
Re: Red Fly Studio is Trying to Resurrect the Cancelled Nintendo Exclusive Darth Maul Game
This has my interest. If they can make a good Star Wars game and make it for Wii U, I'll love to see it
Re: Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is Creeping Up On the European eShop for Halloween
Even if NA gets it, I would have prefered the HD remake they made on PC on the Wii U, and from what I heard Wii mote support would be awesome.

I think they forgot to mention that One Piece Unlimited World RED got reduced to $19.99

I feel bad for the person who will lose their job because of this
Re: Video: Watch Koji Igarashi Hack And Slash His Way Through An Early Build Of Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night
Damn, I can barely see the screen -_- well, it looks like it's living up the concept art instead of going the "Mighty No.9" route so that's good.
Re: Monster Hunter X (Cross) Confirmed for Japanese Release
No Wii U? Disappointing because this seemed like something that they could have launched on a console.
This also only reminded me I haven’t played Monster Hunter 4…and that I’m probably missing out on one of the best games the 3DS have to offer.
Re: Assault Android Cactus is Blasting Its Way to Wii U This Summer
Holy snot! O_O That gameplay trailer was amazing! I wouldn't mind getting this full price as long as it's reasonable.

Would have considered getting Revelations on Wii U if I didn't already had it on 3DS.
Re: Nintendo Has Unannounced Wii U Titles Which Will Launch Before April 2016
Very good to hear, but honestly I'm hoping for third party releases, ones that I can be hype for.
Re: Poll: Did The Splatoon Global Testfire Hit Its Targets?

@LazerPan I thought I was the only one who felt that way, especially when game consoles aren't cheap here.
Re: Review: IRONFALL Invasion (3DS eShop)
I tried the demo. Considering I was super excited for the game ever since I heard about it, I close the game feeling so disappointed. It just felt boring and the characters and voice acting has to be a special kind of awful. I'm sorry, VdDev, I really wanted to love this game but I don't think I can bare playing this.
Re: Video: This Harmless Exploit Will Help You Grab All Those StreetPass Puzzle Pieces
