Advertising in Australia is non existent. The only advertising I saw was last year was at the very beginning of launch and now the new consoles are nearly upon us you would think they would ramp it up!
And still nintendo of Australia give us dsi game cases or maybe a pen to use our points on! About the only decent items on there are the game and watch collections but everybody who collects points already has them.
@nik1470 Mate we won the ashes every time we played England from June 1989 to November 2002/2003. So it's only fair we let you have a little win every now and again
Umm "we're not writing them off as the drm suport we thought was happening for the xbox one has now been scrapped so we will continue to support all consoles" Thats how it should be worded!
Sorry this video is for residents of the United States and its territories! Really? Just go to YouTube if you can't watch it. Good to see though the nintendo getting some exposure.
Only reason it's not comng to wii u is because of the user base the wii u has. If sales pick up then I'm sure a lot of third party developers will ensue.
Why not do it in other countries besides the us? They want to raise awareness of the console? Then putting displays with the latest games would be the way to do it!
Ea are just soured on nintendo for no implementing their online service. I mean frostbite 3 runs on ps3 and 360 which are 7 yr old consoles but not wii u???
@XCWarrior AAA titles? And when was that last must have game from EA? They need to start making new games from the ground up not just releasing sequel after sequel!
Personally I couldn't give flying **** about them not supporting wii u but just watch them crawl back once nintendo starts releasing their big titles and people flock to the console.
@ErnisDy So its dead because ea and now insomniac are refusing to make games for the console? I couldn' give to hoots about either of those companys! Lets face it ea is just a sequel maker rehashing all of their titles over and over again and insomniacs latest installment looks like rubbish.
Probably because they have no programmers that could use the gamepad the way it should be used in the game.
I also put it down to ea hating the wii u because they wouldn't bow to their online service.
It's funny how the uk/us pay full price for wii u games in australia the most we pay is around $70 but if we look around it can be as low as $64. Over here at eb (GameStop in us) we pay up to $100 for 360/ps3 ports!

Re: Precursor And Nintendo In "Constant" Contact Regarding Eternal Darkness Successor
@Kage_88
Bad advertising and no support for extra content once the games released.
As this is one game that would definately warrant it.
Re: SEGA Planning Seven Releases for Wii U in the Coming Year
another house of the dead would be nice.
Re: Precursor And Nintendo In "Constant" Contact Regarding Eternal Darkness Successor
@Kage_88
That's exactly what I thought as nintendo have made so many mistakes with their games that this project if take over by them may not come to fruition
Re: Precursor And Nintendo In "Constant" Contact Regarding Eternal Darkness Successor
Why doesn't nintendo jump in and take over the game making it exclusive for wii u by backing it all the way?
Re: Madden NFL Is Skipping Nintendo Systems For The First Time Since 1991
Probably because they have no programmers that could use the gamepad the way it should be used in the game.
I also put it down to ea hating the wii u because they wouldn't bow to their online service.
