$7.99?! With tax, it's closer to $10 for me!

Good call Nintendo! If they were 4.99 I likely would have bought a few. For $10? Likely none.

@WiiULoveGBA

I think the comparison to punk was dead on. Originally that style of music represented rebellion, a new attitude, doing things your own way on a small budget, not mainstream, etc. Sounds just like the current indie game scene.

Then punk began to change in the late 80's early 90's where punk bands were signed by major music labels, their sound changed, marketing and recording budgets went up, and their music became more 'manufactured' by the label who owned them.

That's just what Peter was warning would happen to indie developers if they were bought up by EA, Ubisoft, etc.

If you dig around, you can still find a few 'non mainstream' punk bands recording their own stuff, but the vast majority of what kids today consider punk is stuff that's just as mass produced and sterile as current pop music.

Huh? I fail to understand why the author thinks this was a 'doom and gloom' statement.

It's not as if Molyneux was criticizing indie games or their developers. He was just saying that a lot of these studios are going to likely be bought up by other companies. Is that an 'incendiary' statement? It sounds completely plausible and rational to me. Oculus Rift was just sold to Facebook for gods sake!

He then goes on to say how he prefers working for himself, and gives reasons why, if he was an indie developer currently, he wouldn't 'sell out' to a bigger company. It all makes sense and doesn't sound negative at all, so why did the author try to spin it that way?

I also had to lol @ this sentence "It's an incendiary quote from a man known for incendiary quotes". A thesaurus could have been helpful there!

I just recently played this one to about 50% completion (after beating it before a couple times), so maybe I will have to wait for this one and buy it if the price is fair.

@Blast

"The Ouya's situation is bad cuz FOR MANY REASONS. The Wii U's situation is different cuz many 3rd party ports on the Wii U are pretty freaking bad. Some are really good but some are REALLY bad. Don't try to overgeneralize the situation."

@Spoony_Tech

I have no problem with the DLC. If they included it, they would have charged more for the game. Instead, they have lowered the price and made the extra pieces optional purchases. I see no problem.

Now if it was a full priced retail release and they did this, that's a whole other matter.

I prefer a more realistic 3D design

The perfect downloadable game.

Something that costs around $10, you play and enjoy it for 5-8 hours, then completely forget about it.

@SebCroc

We can appreciate the effort, but still admit that it looks like garbage.

@dumedum

I won the debate and the image posting battle too!

2-0!! REDCORN WINS!!!

I'm unstoppable!!!

@dumedum

TL;dr LOL.

Thanks for coming out!! Maybe you will beat me next time! LOL.

@dumedum

I WON!!! I WON!!!

@dumedum

LOL!

Can't counter those points so you gave up LOL.

I win LOL.

^ You LOL.

@dumedum

"Wii U launch sales were stronger than PS4 sales in Japan"

PS4 surpassed the Wii-U's first week sales LOL.

"The Wii U didn't sell as poorly as the PS4 during its first launch weeks in Japan."

The Wii-U launched in the busy holiday season where everyone is buying consoles for themselves and as gifts. PS4 launched end of February LOL. Not really all that surprising that the Wii-U sold more units at Christmas LOL.

"The PlayStation 4 has dropped off in sales from launch week, while the Wii U continues to hold steady week over week."

The PS4 is experiencing shortages everywhere, so naturally that would affect it's abilty to sell more units LOL. The Wii-U is holding steady selling 7-9,000 units a week LOL. That is horribly embarassing LOL.

"Good luck with your prediction that it will surpass Wii U by April-May when it's already trailing behind. It might ONE day***, but it's going to take a while."

PS4 WILL surpass Wii-U LOL. It's inevitable LOL. It's surpassed it everywhere else already LOL. You are clinging to this "Japan sales" thing when it doesn't matter LOL. PS4 has sold more consoles worldwide in 3 months than the 14 month old Wii-U LOL. And without the benefit of being available for two holiday seasons, like the Wii-U was LOL.

***You were supposed to emphasize the "MIGHT" not the "ONE" LOL.

@dumedum

Not upset LOL.

Just wanted to point out how ridiculous your assertion is that the 'PS4 has failed in Japan' LOL.

You are bragging that a system that launched at the end of February 2014 hasn't sold as many units in Japan as a system that launched in December 2012 LOL.

You are incapable of having an intelligent debate LOL.

PS4 will obviously catch up to and surpass the Wii-U in Japan LOL.

When it does I will return to this post and let you know LOL.

See ya around LOL.

@dumedum

PS3 owners are still having so much fun with the system that they don't need to upgrade to the PS4 yet LOL

Same reason the Wii-U is selling like crap, right? LOL

PS4 is the top selling console this generation already LOL

Let the butt hurt flow through you LOL

@JJtheTexan

So are you telling me my upcoming game "Breaking Bad Golf" could run into some legal trouble? Hmmm....maybe I will just call it "Diff'rent Strokes" instead.

@dumedum

There are more PS4 owners worldwide than Wii-U LOL

Why are you so obsessed with Japan's sales? LOL

It's just one small country LOL

Vita has been out several years LOL

Why would you compare it's sales to a console that has only been available for a month in Japan? LOL

ROTFLMAO

@Daisaku36

I hope it never comes out so your faith in humanity gets crushed

@MadAdam81

If he can't make a professional looking website, what hope is there that he can produce a video game? Let alone one that gets publishing approval on the Wii-U?

There has been no evidence yet that this game even exists, yet this is like the fourth article about it! Very embarrassing.

@dumedum

There are PS4 shortages all over the world LOL

The PS4 will have outsold the Wii-U in Japan by this summer LOL

The PS4 has surpassed the sales expectations of everyone LOL

The Wii-U launched at Christmas, that's why it sold a lot LOL

@unrandomsam

Close. It will be a Metroidvania game where you play as Sir John A. Macdonald, the first prime minister of Canada.

Here is my first concept sketch

The guy 'developing' this game has a crappy looking website, no Nintendo development approval, and has only posted two crappy sketches as proof of this game's existence.

I could literally lay claim to those same credentials in a couple hours....so when can I expect to have an article posted about my game??

Objectified woman!

@Ren

Hypocrite!

Sickening!!

@Rukiafan

@TrueWiiMaster

Mario being a fat, blue collar Italian guy with a mustache who speaks broken english is a racial caricature too. Hopefully NL writes an article about this disgusting fact soon.

I've already stolen the Club Nintendo codes out of all my little cousin's Wii games anyway, so I don't care about this.

@dumedum

Ya, because PS4 is sold out in Japan. LOL.

Also, PS4 has only been out in Japan for a few weeks, so I don't know why you are comparing it to the sales total of the Wii-U that has been out for 14 months. LOL.

PS4 will have outsold the Wii-U in Japan by April/May, and the Wii-U will never catch up the PS4's worldwide sales totals after that LOL.

@Ryno

Ya, because none of those problems affect young males either, right?

Plenty of males have eating disorders, body image issues, obsessions with working out and low self esteem based on their bodies as well. Lets not pretend these issues are exclusive to women.

For every game that "objectifies" women, there are ten that objectify men as hyper aggressive, musclebound meatheads, yet there are no special interest groups whining about that.

This is the correct way to do a tour of this horrible game

@Yorumi

Again, it's not similar, as the law attests, so I don't understand why you continue to cling to this comparison. It's only weakening your own position (i.e calling out people for using logical fallacies, then arguing your point by comparing two dissimilar things).

@Yorumi

Questioning/debating/satirizing religious beliefs are all legal under US law, so I don't understand why you keep comparing it to racism and calling other people 'sub human'. They are two completely different things, and a poor argument to make in support of your case.

@LordGeovanni

What America do you live in?! Religious beliefs, especially Christianity/Catholicism, are mocked or criticized on a daily basis in films, televisions shows and news programming in the US.

And the US media doesn't support sex/nudity?! The US produces and consumes more pornography than any other country on earth combined!

People have the choice to watch it or buy it, it's not like its banned and doesn't exist. Same should go for games. If there is a market for it, it should be made available. Just because it contains religious subject matter that some people find offensive, doesn't mean that the game shouldn't be allowed to exist.

@Yorumi

I have played games where I drive cars through crowds of people, make drug deals, beat up women, shoot up innocent people at airports, ect. I don't really care, nor do I take it seriously or get offended by it. If I don't like it, I don't play it or watch it. It's that simple. If your hypothetical 'racist' and 'homophobic' games had cool graphics and made interesting use of the gamepad, I would probably play them too!

My view is 'let anyone play and enjoy what they want' while yours is 'what people play and enjoy should conform to my personal beliefs'.

When you bring up the phrase 'common human decency' while talking about vidya game content, it's a sign you are taking things too seriously.

@LordGeovanni @Yorumi

Don't like it? Don't buy it!

Even better, don't try to force your beliefs on others here. If you don't want to play it and are offended by its content, why are you posting about it?

@Yorumi

Don't get so offended over vidya games. There are more important issues to worry about.

Yoshi's Turd

Hopefully the 'gimmick' courses like this are kept to a minimum. I just want to play a normal game of golf (as normal as the prior games were) not one with giant obstacles in the air and pipes that boost your shots.

@Hy8ogen

Sorry, I don't speak Cambodian

@dumedum

Wii-U was in plentiful supply though, while the PS4 is continuing to sell out available stock. You can't sell systems if there aren't any on the shelf.

p.s. PS4 sold more systems in 4 months than the Wii-U has in 14 LOL

@barnetbee1

Nintendo first-party games usually have reviews posted several days, if not a week, in advance.

The fact that this game doesn't have any official reviews posted online and its just hours away from releasing, tells you that Nintendo doesn't have much faith in it either.

Not surprising. He knows the Wii-U is a sinking ship and is merely casting his line in the direction of the mighty S.S. PS4 in hopes that they take him aboard.

It looks like a dog ate a box of crayons then threw up on a 3DS

Looks pretty cool

Horrible commercial for a game that looks equally bad.
