I have a Vita, and I can say with absolute certainty it's more than a new PSP Go or an overpriced PS3/PS4 controller. Right now I'm getting much more enjoyment from the Vita than I am the WiiU. Doesn't mean the Vita is the greatest thing ever, or that the WiiU is crap. It just means I'm liking the games on the Vita more right now, that's all. I'm probably playing my 3DS even more than the Vita right now.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I go wherever the games are, and I've been doing that since the 2600 and Colecovision. I don't care who makes the console or the game. A good game is still just as good even if it's outsold by another game, or on a console that's outsold by another console. It's so disheartening to see all the petty fanboy crap being thrown around nowadays. I don't understand how people could be so blindly loyal to any company that doesn't care anything for you other than how much money they can get out of your pocket. There's a difference between being a fan and being a fanboy. /rant
@GunstarHero234 @minotaurgamer What the hell are you smoking because I want some of that and what "lies" you speak off??? Just because of opinion and preference what a gamer buys that isn't a Nintendo device that doesn't mean they either stupid or a "zombie" they have a quota of what they want and he or she will buy it so why you so salty about this?"
He's just butthurt. Who cares about sales figures? Who cares what other people are playing? Does it make you feel better to insult people because they actually enjoy something you don't? How exactly does someone playing the so called "dumbed down PC's" affect you? You are the epitome of the arrogant ignorant fanboy.
@minotaurgamer "That's what pisses me of videogamers nowadyas. They follow the game industry's lies and propaganda without seeing real life. You people are pathetic."
Dude, there's only one thing that's pathetic here.....and everyone but you knows what that is, don't we?
@Nintenjoe64 I don't have any problem with speculation. It just seemed like you were stating things a little too matter-of-factly. I do understand your logic, however, and you could very well be right. We may never know.
@minotaurgamer "Those consoles are dumbed down PCs. Yes they are very overrated. Only game-industry zombie followers buy them."
Wow.....That's just ignorant on so many levels. Either you're trolling, or a fanboy....or perhaps a trolling fanboy. I'm going with C: A trolling fanboy.
@Mrclaycoat "Nintendo was the reason the Turbo Graphix 16 wasn't allowed to be sold in toy stores. They put pressure on stores that this upcoming and impressive system if made available would mean Nintendo would pull out. That's why the system was only sold in Radio Shack. Nintendo is a company, a company filled with greed likle any other company and made a selfish choice then that hurt gamers."
I bought my TG16 at a Toys 'R Us(the mother of all toy stores) and bought many games at the now extinct game store, Babbages. I also bought my Turbo Express there. Where on Earth did you hear that from?
@Nintenjoe64 "I also suspect there are some infighting problems dragging the whole organisation down." Are you privvy to corporate meetings or something? "They were far worse off after the GC than they are at the moment." Do you have some sort of evidence that led you to this conclusion? "I still believe Iwata had an feeling Wii U would flop and that the currency fluctuations and deferred tax assets would make their 3DS losses look far worse if they fully supported the Wii U so they never gave it the resources." Once again, how is it that you would know what he is thinking? Did Iwata lay down on your couch and tell you his innermost feelings?
@SonicTheBluBlur "..I will not buy a platform unless it's made by Nintendo."
Man, with that philosophy you're missing out on some damn good games. :/
Loyalty is admirable, but being a fanboy...not so much. Just my opinion. I don't mean to insult you.
This is a truly brilliant and enjoyable game. I do have a couple of issues, though. Sometimes the camera makes things more difficult than they need to be. For example, it zooms in while I'm trying to carefully guage where to place a block, which forces me to readjust and compensate for it. Another issue I have is that the camera is very reluctant to pan up really high, which is a problem with the levels that are about height. Despite all that, I really like this game. It's more than worth the $7 I paid for it.
EDIT: Ok, the wonky camera is actually making it IMPOSSIBLE to complete World D Level 7.5. It's a height based level, so I think you can see where this would be slightly problematic..
EDIT 2: Good news! Switching to Camera B allowed the camera to pan up enough to finish the aforementioned level. Having completed about two-thirds of the game I'm still enjoying it immensely, but the difficulty level is all over the place. You'll be presented with a real brain-buster followed by a laughably easy level. The most frustrating of all the levels so far has got to be the ones with a time limit. Some are brutally hard. I'm sure if I fail to comple 100% of the game it will be because of a timed level. As I continue playing, and eventually finish, I'll report back with more... if anyone is interested. I realize I'm a little bit late to the party here, but because I like this game so much, I'm motivated to tell as many people as possible about it.
@Zombie_Barioth Yeah, I hear ya.
We're pretty much arguing semantics here.
If the seal is broken, you can no longer guarantee that it hasn't been used. That's why I expect something I buy new to be unopened and sealed. It's funny how Gamestop (a company I absolutely LOATHE) will sell things they've opened as "new", yet they'd never accept anything returned as "new" if it's been opened (and rightfully so).
@Zombie_Barioth I agree that there are some differences between used as-is and refurbished, and that refurbished is as close as you're going to get to like-new (usually), but the fact is that it's not new, it's used.
If it's not sealed in a box is it then used? Well, yes. If it's been removed from the box and connected to a tv, even if it's connected only long enough to determine it's broken, in my mind it's used. Obviously Nintendo feels the same way or they wouldn't distinguish between new and refurbished. Nobody refurbishes something that's new, do they?
When you buy a new car, the moment you drive it off of the lot it's a used car, with considerably less value than it had a few seconds ago.

@element187 If something is refurbished then it's not new, if it's not new then it's used.
