An indie platformer? You don't see those too often these days cough. Still, there seem to be some very promising ones among them, so I'll keep an eye on them.
@moo99 I have met plenty of people in my life who couldn't keep a steady beat going, just like I met plenty of people who were completely tone deaf. I'm not saying you can't be trained to become better at it, but yes, I would say some people are naturally better at keeping rhythm.
Seems like a game I'd like to play. Unfortunate that there's no EU release mentioned yet. Also.. I wonder if this will strain my eyes.. It seems like it might.
Really hope this won't turn out to be a disappointment in the end. I must say the increasing coverage on it makes it look like a very appealing game. I'm highly anticipating the review on this one.
@DerpSandwich Woah Woah.. Ancel and the development team actually demonstrated against the delay, it's not his fault, that's why I don't feel like boycotting the game either, the people that actually worked very hard on it aren't to blame for this stupid decision.
Wow, nice statement. Good to see the actual developers displeased with the recent turn of events. I'm not too confident this statement will make a difference, but I certainly appreciate their willingness to take a stand against it.
Well.. there goes a whole chunk of respect for Ubisoft.. They'd better not scrap the cool Gamepad-based gameplay for this one! I was looking forward to this so much! A delay I can stomach, but a delay ánd the news that it's coming out for the other platforms as well is just crap..
Couldn't care less.. Sonic Colors was supposed to be one of the better sonic games, and I still didn't care too much for it, so as long as the formula stays the same, I'm not interested in the slightest.
This doesn't work for me since our wifi isn't supported by the "Wii" setting of my Wii U.. which I find confusing because the same wifi works fine on the regular Wii as far as I know.
Nice.. there's already a bunch of downloadable titles I'd love to sink my teeth into. Question though, how am I supposed to purchase these titles without a credit card? Will there be prepaid cards available just like the ones for the 3DS?
Throwin' me a Wii U party next week (if everything goes according to plan), so I bet this and Nintendo Land should be enough to keep me and my pals entertained. I'm curious about the difficulty level though. They had some serious trouble with the later stages of NSMBWii, so I wonder if we'll even get through this one in multiplayer.
Such mixed signals.. one developer praises it, the other utterly destroys it.. I just don't know what to think anymore. I'll just take solace in the fact that the games shown to work on the console give the impression it's just fine. Now if only the 3rd party developers could stick around longer than on the Wii.. that'd be just great.
A Rayman demo? Nice! It breaks my heart to see Origing in the budget bin every time I enter my local game store. It had its flaws, but overall that game was really fantastic. I hope the amount of attention it's gotton from being this promising WiiU exclusive will help out both the WiiU sales and the game itself.
I don't mind since Nintendo's approaches DLC in a more fair way than a company like EA for instance. I only bought the nerve wrack pack for nsmb2 since that one seemed the only one to give some significant new experience to the game, but I think it's a pretty neat little add-on for those who'd like more levels.
Mighty Switch Force wasn't thát easy.. sure it wasn't too difficult to beat the levels, but doing so within the time limit required some quick thinking at times. I'm probably not getting the Wii U version, as the 3D felt really important to the game's overall atmosphere. Plus, an additional difficulty setting's just not enough incentive to buy the game again. I will say though that I really loved it on 3DS and I'm looking forward to future WayForward games.
Holy crap it's doing well in Japan! I wish Europe was equally crazy about it. Hopefully the holiday season will be a nice boost in systems sold. The more success the platform has, the more developers are interested in creating content for it. Meanwhile the Vita's having a rather hard time. I know the 3ds had a rocky start as well, but the Vita's up to a point where one could wonder if it'll ever recover.
Still I wonder.. WHAT DO YOU DO?! I love the atmosphere of the game, and world of goo proved tons of fun, but I still don't get the game mechanics of this..
I pre ordered it the day the European release date was announced, so I should be allright. I don't think the pre-orders sold out here though, but it's still nice to be confident you'll get your hands on it soon enough.
I'm probably not going to use the eShop to download retail titles, so I may not even end up buying a hard drive for my Wii U. I bet I can store a decent amount of eShop games like Toki Tori and the like on the 32gb. Still, it's obviously a good thing to be able to give it that much more storage.
Nano Assault really looks amazing! Shin'en seems to be rather dedicated to making quality games, unlike UFO Interactive for instance, so I applaud Shin'en for that and I'm greatly looking forward to the release of Nano Assault on 3ds and Wii U.
Well, that's certainly a lot higher than the 2/5 GameXplain gave it. Seems most other reviewers seem to rather like it thusfar. I've personally been enthralled by everything I've seen of it thusfar, and by the little bit of time I got playing it at an event, so I'll be sure to buy it.
Yeah, I think it makes sense. I don't know if Rayman Legends is one of those games they held back, but not having it compete with a certain other sidescrolling platformer would do them both good I guess. Plus, there's a load of games for Wii U that interest me, so I actually prefer them not being handed to me all at once.
I had a decent time with it, but it was a little bit too generic, way too easy and the visuals were quite.. well.. lazy at some points, especially the characters looked bad. I don't regret picking it up altogether, but it's a pretty forgettable game, so I can understand they lack of commercial success.
Well.. nothing too shocking here.. I'm kind of bummed out by the fact that they didn't give us a more in depth look at Luigi's Mansion. Gives me the impression it'll still be a while before they release it in 2013.
I call bull.. people would be seriously pissed off if Nintendo were to release a new console only two years or so from now, so nobody would buy it. Also, development for this baby was started quite a while before the 3ds was released, I reckon, so I find it highly unlikely that they simply rushed this one out the door to make up for poor sales. There's a lot of cool new ways of gaming to explore on this system, and it's got plenty of horsepower to keep me entertained, so no.. not buyin' this story. Not at all.
@rjejr If I recall it's been stated that the pikmin, zelda and metroid games can be played alone as well.. the other three have a very stern focus on competitive multiplayer, so I wouldn't bet on being able to play them single-player.
oh no.. wait.. wait.. takamaru, balloon trip breeze ánd DK crash course, means that there were already THREE single player ones.. so it's half 'n half.. sorry people of the world, I made a mistake.
so the final three are all single player? So that's five exclusively single player games and seven where co-op is either possible or necessary. I'd thougt that at least one of the remaining games would be multiplayer too, but I'm pretty curious what they look like now.
Ah well, I've got plenty of games on my wishlist anyway.. Pikmin will have it's moment of glory once it comes out, untill then.. I'll be enjoying the hell out of everything that comes before it.
well.. didn't see this one coming. Nintendo's listened to my about lack of eshop games. Thank you guys^^! I beat every single one of the original Pullblox levels, it was a pain in the , but a very gratifying task in my opinion. This looks like the puzzles may get even more complex.. If Pullblox is any indication of this title's quality, I'm in for a treat^^.
Kinda weird to have a game out on the eshop with almost no footage available to show off what the hell we're dealing with. It's managed to catch my eye, now if only we had a nice detailed review.. cough cough
Fchinaski's right. I'm not particularly interested in this game, but it is worrying to see Europe being left in the dark, 3ds-wise. I sincerely hope today's nintendo direct will alleviate that at least somewhat.
