Re: Splatoon 2 Misses Top Spot in UK Charts But Out-Performs Predecessor

MEGAMAN_D

Had the first 2 crash games as a kid and I barely even remember them.

Crash bandicoot was for PlayStation fans that would have played anything to scratch that Mario and sonic itch they had.

Crash was never on par with Mario or even sonic and it definitely isn't even in the same league as splatoon 2.

Its just like when knack outsold Mario 3D world.

Ehhhh, whatever

Re: Watch Dogs Wii U Release Dates Confirmed

MEGAMAN_D

I buy games that I want to play regardless of who has made them, now to be honest I am not the biggest fan of Ubi Soft's games all I have of theirs is Zombi U and splinter cell blacklist. I have never liked the AC games so they can keep em, in fact I don't care about any of ubi soft's games. Watch dogs was the only one that caught my eye and it's coming to the Wii U. I would like them to give us a Zombi U sequel, then they can take a walk.

Re: E3 2014: Shigeru Miyamoto Confirms Star Fox for Wii U

MEGAMAN_D

To all those worried about this game and/or the controls let me just say this

This is nintendo we are talking about, the only really disappointing star fox game was assault on the cube and that was made by namco and even that wasn't THAT bad.

So I have faith, and as for controls, INNOVATION, it's what nintendo do so relax and I'm pretty sure there will be a more traditional control option for those that wanna kick it old skool.

Re: Mortal Kombat X Announced, Platform Details Sketchy

MEGAMAN_D

That's the bit that gets me angry

PS3 and 360 versions are on the way.

The Wii U will continue that trend of nintendo consoles not being taken seriously. But to be fair, I think a lot of people have blood on their hands and it's not just 3rd parties, nintendo should have done more to reach out for support for their console, a console only receiving 10% of games that are available on other systems is just not fair to the people that bought it, and it is part of nintendo's job to keep their customers at least half content, but as always old man ninty is asleep on the job.

If average joe only want's one console, it's gonna take A LOT more than mario kart and donkey kong to draw his attention, and unless you plan on owning two consoles or are only into nintendo games, who gonna want a Wii U.

And then you have those Wii U owners that moan about 3rd party support but will go and buy the PS3 version (despite it looking awful) of whatever game because they are scared what their friends will think if they get the wii u version of said game.

I still say that the main culprit is nintendo, WAKE THE HELL UP ! and get your cool back.

MK-X on Wii U, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

No but seriously, it is a shame because these are the kind of games the Wii U will miss out on and people will brush it off as a console that has no games. Well I did my part, I went out and bought injustice day one for my Wii U and still enjoy it to this day.

If you don't like these kind of mature titles, then that's fine, but to those of you wishing for these kind of games and won't put your money where your mouth is well this is what happens.

And don't play the old "gimped port" card, because there have been lots of superior ports of games on the Wii U and they still didn't sell.

Re: Feature: A Round-Up of the Best Nintendo-Related April Fools' Pranks

MEGAMAN_D

Ok guys, who remembers the snes mortal kombat april fools joke in ONM years ago ?

The one where they told you to sellotape a penny to the top of the cartridge in order to trick the snes into thinking the cartridge was heavier lol and play to the end without taking a single hit then input a code, and when you hear raiden go "ALLIBABBALEEEH" it had worked, then you would have blood in the snes version.

They even had screen shots and everything.

Re: Report Suggests That June Could Be Crucial For Iwata's Future At The Head Of Nintendo

MEGAMAN_D

Let's all be honest, this has nothing to do with games, this is about perception and the awful job nintendo have done in advertising the Wii U. Wii U is a great console and has some great games (way better that the other next gen consoles) so what's the problem ? I'll tell you, I was in the pub the other day chatting to some random guys over a game of pool about games and when I told them I have a Wii U they looked confused and I had to explain to them that this was nintendo's new console, THERE'S THE PROBLEM.

I hate to say it but they need to embrace more western ideas and remember who THEY once were, Getting rid of iwata won't change a thing.

Reggie should have been president of NOA and europe, and Iwata in charge of japan.

If they do get rid of him, they better get someone that knows what their doing, otherwise it will be even worse, but then I ask myself, can things get any worse ?

Re: New Watch_Dogs Trailer Highlights a Living, Breathing Chicago Game World

MEGAMAN_D

I'm gonna take a wild guess here, but I really do believe the Wii U version is finished.

But they know as well as we do 3rd party games don't sell well on the Wii U, couple that with mario kart 8 out around the same time and the Wii U version would just get washed away.

I gonna say July or August time for the Wii U version, this game is gonna sell like crap anyway on the Wii U, but if there is nothing else for Wii U owners to buy they may just rake a few sales off of it.

Re: Latest Assassin's Creed Announcement Continues Doubts Over Wii U Inclusion

MEGAMAN_D

It is never a good thing when a game is not coming to the Wii U. But in all honesty I'm not bothered about the assassin's creed games anyway, so no harm done here.

I have only just completed AC3 and I got that a week after launch day, it was Ok, but I found it boring to be honest and just forced myself through it for the sake of it, I haven't even picked up AC4 yet.

I am looking forward to watch_dogs though, so I hope that doesn't get canned.

I don't believe 3rd parties try with nintendo as much as they make out, they dip their toe in and then tell everyone they supported the console.

I don't wan't AC5, I don't wan't just dance, just give me a rayman and Zombi U sequel and I would be ecstatic, hell, you can even scrap watch_dogs ubi soft.

Wuddya say, deal ?

Re: Former Criterion Boss Alex Ward Laments Issues With Releasing Need For Speed On Wii U

MEGAMAN_D

I always thought it was down to the publisher to advertise and promote a game. And secondly how do you promote a game that has already been out for 6 months on other platforms ?

I bought NFS MW U and I thought it was a great game and I can clearly see the effort put into it, so kudos to the guys that worked on it.

If NFS MW U was a launch game for the Wii U, I think it would have probably done a little better, but no shop even stocked it, I had to buy it on the eshop.

But all in all, I still believe that Wii U owners have access to one of, if not the best racers out there.

Just buy it any way you can and see for yourself

Re: Watch_Dogs Wii U 2014 Release a "Possibility", Bucharest Studio to Make "Good Use" of the System

MEGAMAN_D

Just Imagine if this ends up using the gamepad as good as a game like deus ex ?

That's worth the wait in my opinion, "Oh, but the PS4 version will have better graphics"

Whatever, fact of the matter is neither PS4 or X1 have shown us anything graphics wise that has blown us away, so I highly doubt watch_dogs will be that game.

And I don't think this game will be cancelled, they still have the Wii U logo in the trailer and are probably close to finishing it. I never once saw the Wii U logo on any aliens CM poster or trailer which makes me doubt if the game was ever even started on to begin with.

Re: The Next Batman Game Is Arkham Knight, And No, There Won't Be A Wii U Version

MEGAMAN_D

I've said this before and I'll say it again

We now accept that 3rd parties are not in nintendo's corner at the moment, so it's NOW that nintendo need to make the best of a bad situation, how ?

Hide the negatives and accentuate the positives, the Wii U cannot compete with sony and microsoft when it comes to graphics and 3rd party games, so why try. But nintendo's own games are the best around and they make games sony and microsoft can only dream of putting out, the Wii U is also the most innovative console out there, has backward compatibility, free online, and they should start bolstering some second party exclusives like they did with bayonetta 2.

Hide the negatives, accentuate the positives

Re: PS4 Launch Sales Close to Wii U Equivalents, 3DS Remains Best of the Rest

MEGAMAN_D

The is a cash converters not to far from where I live and already I have seen 4 PS4's in there, I have only ever seen 1 Wii U and I have never seen a XBOX ONE.

In fact I have seen many second hand PS4's in CEX and other cash converters. I think people maybe running out and buying it because it's the new thing, and then realizing that it has no games.

If sony can't get some solid games out in the next few months, I really do think the hype may start to fade and reality will set in.

But I have been wrong before

Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Makes Top 10 Début in UK All-Format Charts

MEGAMAN_D

For a country like the UK where most of it's gamers just wanna play fifa and COD, coupled with the fact that the Wii U install base in the UK is tiny, 9th place ain't to bad.

Well anyway, I did my bit for Wii U in the UK and got my copy from argos day one after I finished work.

Oddly enough me and one other guy was in the que getting it, and they were the last 2 copies.
