Re: Review: Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty (Wii U eShop)

Madder128

This has really breathed some life into my Wii U.
Really I would recommend buying it, it's challenging, addictive, and rewarding with it's colourful imaginative story telling.
My only gripes are the frame rate drops like crazy when a lot happens on screen.
The sound can be very glitchy, sometimes loosing all character sound when a lot is happening, again probably down to processing.
The voice over work has changed, and the art style isn't quite as grim as the original.
Mudokon pops have been censored aswell ! No longer a severed head on a stick.
But all that aside it's great fun like the original.

I hope more Oddworld comes to Nintendo, but if sales are shoddy, which I expect, it's not going to happen.

@shani Metroid as a name is going to put fans in seats, but for people
who don't know the series, Scarlett would be an excellent choice as she would sell tickets, and put people in seats.
I respect your opinion, but for a Hollywood actress, mainstream, she is good at what she does.
She's great in Lost in Translation.

Of course we are aware, there are better actresses.
But for a Metroid movie, without a big name, it's not going to put people in seats.

Re: TT Fusion Outlines Process for Level Design in LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Yeah I can't wait for this.
It may not re invent the wheel, but it's going to be fun a play, a no brainer.
Was debating getting the Xbox One Edition, but I think I'll stick to getting the Wii U Version.
Gives me a reason to go back to the Wii U, and well the better graphics on Xbox One.... It's Lego, not going to make much difference.
Lego Jurassic World, was seriously one of my favourite games last year.
I know Nintendo Life bashed it, which makes me wonder why they are looking forward to this ?
But it was really a solid game, great for fans of the movie.

Re: Reaction: Nintendo Titles Miss the UK Top 40 Once Again

@Maxz Japan struggles to embrace anything not Japanese, which is a shame.
I've got an Xbox One and I think it's great, even though there is still more to do on Wii U with it's back catalog.
At least in the West, Japanese technology is embraced.
Playstation 4 has been a run away success, and it's been down to good advertising.
Once the price comes down, I'll likely pick one up.

Here's the problem, especially in the city where I live, you can't buy Nintendo games anywhere.
And if you do find them, there is very limited selection.
An interesting note is this, on the run up to christmas, exchange shops like CEX and Cash Generator were full of used Nintendo games.
Once Christmas was out the way, the shops were empty of Nintendo games, I mean completely depleted.

Re: Nintendo Games Absent from UK Top 40 to Kick Off 2016

With only one big release, that's really not surprising.
Going into Christmas, there was no campaign to rally people to even consider buying a Wii U.
A marketing campaign, showing the back catalog, and upcoming games would of been very beneficial.
The Wii U pack for £249.99 with Splatoon/Mario Kart 8 wasn't going to lure anyone.
Give people a reason to buy something through advertising, and they'll want It.

Re: Feature: Five Key Reveals and Releases That Will Define Nintendo's 2016

Madder128

I'm very excited for this NX reveal, more so than when the original Wii was announced after the Revolution hype.
Whatever Nintendo decides to do, contrary to what a lot of people want, I don't want to see Nintendo pile down the power house route.
Really they need an affordable machine, which does something different, and gives people a viable, good alternative to Sony and Microsoft.
If they go with this new Sharp screen technology for their controllers, that's going to be expensive, let alone making the machine up to the spec of Xbox One/PS4.
Cut in with a fun product, a good price and your onto a winner.

I still feel Wii U could of been that, but they fumbled with the marketing of the machine, and the price was too steep.
A lot of people I knew, really thought Wii U was a tablet for the original Wii.
I'm sure Nintendo will have learnt a lot with the machine, both good and bad.

Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2016

Madder128

Well there is 4 titles there I'm going to be picking up, and they all look excellent.
Maybe a small output, but at least they should be decent.
I have to admit, I felt a little skeptical about the ZTP HD Remake. Yet when I thought about it, how could I resist going through that game again.
Maybe, just maybe, there will be one more grade A title announced to see Wii U off into the early sunset.
I'm not holding my breath though.

It may sound ridiculous, but if Half Life 2 came to Wii U, I'd be a total sucker to re buy that for the fourth time.

Re: Crush 40 Facebook Post, Since Deleted, Points to 25th Anniversary Sonic Game

Madder128

Worst case scenario, it will be another Sonic collection, rehashed, relabelled.
I'm hoping it will be a sonic game with some fresh ideas, and dignity.
I have always felt Nintendo could do wonders for the series.
Chances of that happening are close to nil.

When Sega pulled out of the Hardware market, I wonder if Nintendo thought about buying them out.
The IP alone they could of done wonders with.
