Played them all, not sure its worth buying again. Actually not sure what the developer would achieve by thinking it doesnt sell well when most of the fans would have bought the game already
Bit stupid how the Chicken and Egg thing is in place already, surely it makes sense to put the newest one on the switch. I think its going to be set in the future and then release on day one then if they sell well, put the older trilogy onto one "disk" and service the "fans"
6th month of the year now and by March 2016, we are getting Xenoblade, Mario Maker, Fatal Frame, Devils Third, NEO Racing and Starfox. If I buy these five games for the Wii U retail and Fast Racing NEO I will have enough over the months to keep me busy. Splatoon is also pretty amazing and would have a great life over the coming months.
After watching the Treehouse stuff on Starfox, I was surprised it didn't look as poor as the trailers! It could be great fun, so I will hold out in general and expect a purchase if platinum put something really fun into the game.
@Joshhmarshh Must agree, that free for all is a must!
I also think the games needs to extend over time with more players with slightly larger games, Im thinking 8 vs 8 if the game really is popular enough. Only problem with all that is the actual online players. Does anyone know the peak players online? And generally the average so far?
Its probably just them catching up with everyone else, end of the day the other players have a subscription system, maybe Nintendo are looking to create this and with that its ended being that they have to get rid of the Stars stuff and then start from scratch they have been thinking about it for a while you can tell with all the little changes!
LOL I'm still on the first adventure map, I swear I have put loads of hours in and still haven't clocked it yet!
How long are people spending on this game, I love it and the content but man i think i have put at least 100 with about 50% of adventure mode map done!
Its interesting, don't think they will ever make another COD anyways! I won't ever buy COD again based on the lack of updates and content, got it on the PS4 the other day and wow what an updated game compared to what I have on the Wii U. Shame we won't get the next one but actually its a better experience elsewhere!
The success of previous launchs that are mentioned is irelavent in a huge sense based on the fact that gundam and one piece are massive in every way if anything those launch week figures are rubbish for such solid established franchises that have massive series arcs
Well I bought black ops 2 and then ghosts this time I have decided I won't buy the next one due to the lack of extinction updates and just how amazing that mode actually was and I never really experienced it
@yuwarite Hilarious, Little Big Planet is amazing and is what Nintendo missed the boat on with "Mario Maker" what a shame people think LBP is bad when its an amazing creation tool
I think sometimes people assume they have outgrown Nintendo due to how the market has perceived Nintendo, simple fact is Nintendo makes games for everyone.
I think its common that people believe this because they are older they need complicated mechanics and stories and graphics to make them feel like they are older. For example I can happily sit and play Mario Kart and not be embarrassed, whereas the normal older generation of today think it labels them as a child or childish for that matter. Its a game for gods sake
I'm getting surprised by the lack of uptake in the UK. People are just plain stupid about the Wii U.
The amount of people I have said I'm playing the Wii U to and they just laugh it off and like don't be silly. Nintendo has a bad image in the UK in my opinion, these deals should fly off the shelf, the issue isn't the game or even the console, its the brand in general
@Silent lol basically bayonetta is not in the game or another skin of zero suit unlocked the game for later as a surprise. The whole style is so bayonetta
@DESS-M-8 lol funny thought process and kinda blunt. If you actually read my comments its the cost structure thats the issue not the actual cost of each individually and its value add, years later trying to obtain from old tech.
I have them all on my GBA and I have a micro as well so your point is irrelevant so jog on with your basic simple minded approach.
It is a fact Nintendo are bleeding the customers of money, this VC service has amazing potential, with great games but the cost structure is a joke, that was all I was trying to get across.
@Jazzer94 It is took high to be frank, thats why I'm not sure however if everyone buys then things won't change!
So its one of those situations where i need to figure out, if want to wait, but Nintendo have not done any deals on the VC stuff really, when we talk price.
Love the games choice and will probably fall for Metroid fusion and Advance Wars.
But Seriously over £6 for a GBA game, issue I have here is that is a lot of money for a game most people have already bought and enjoyed and they are literally just emulating.
Not sure if I want to make a point and not bother buying till the price lowers, best thing Nintendo is do is ask for a tenner a month and give this stuff for free as part of the service as long as you have the subscription, only problem there would be like one release a week maybe.
Monthly Service for access to all VC titles is the best option for Nintendo though and should be a serious thought to start calculating actual fan base and to move forward on the next console.
Nice list guys My list: 1. Super Mario 3d World 2. Pikmin 3 3. Monster Hunter 4. Wonderful 101 5. Nintendo land 6. Need for Speed 7. Call of Duty Ghosts 8. Rayman 9. Blacklist 10. Assassins Creed 4 11. Zombie U 12. Mario Bros 13. Batman Origins 14. Zelda 15. Black ops 2 16. Getting bored but luigi u, sonic, injustice, darksiders 2 14.
However another monster hunter game would be amazing !! So many hours of my life went with monster hunter, epic fights!! Wasn't the same with people they made the hunts fun and much easier, the solo element was so tense
@ThomasBW84 LOL news will annoy people, I for one believe its important to note that DK has not increased the hardware sales in Japan. The Nintendo Everything article recently was amazing on how many INDIES are making games!
Pretty joke nominations on the best selling consoles over 2013 the 3ds should have some games at the end of the day the releases were amazing over 2013 including all sorts such as luigi's mansion and pokemon plus obviously link and fire emblem. That's a joke simple as
Lame results but makes sense, would be great to understand the margins and profit. The next gen versions may have lost them money due to development costs. The Wii U development costs should be minimal with the exception of Rayman legend's.

Re: Review: Splatoon (Wii U)
If you live in the UK this game is sub £25 quid, regardless of the score its new and fresh, I really do hope it sells well.
But as usual we will barely have enough players! However can't wait until I get my copy!

Re: Emulation Experts M2 Worked With Nintendo On Wii U Virtual Console GBA Games
Hopefully Nintendo just get a contract out for like 5 a month minimum and that's part of the virtual console covered.!!
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd April (Europe)
Anyways guys Advance Wars and Metroid Fusion are the way to go for me as previously stated

Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd April (Europe)
Not sure how I feel, want Advance wars and Fusion and probably will bite.
However a part of me is like £6.29 each, that is still £12.58 for two GBA games, is that really worth supporting, not sure!
The pricing structure is so bad it pains me, but these two games are just amazing in my opinion!
Re: Swords & Soldiers HD Catapulting Its Way Onto The Wii U eShop Next Month
