They need to give their exclusives, like Mario Party and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, good online capabilities. The fact that Mario Party doesn't let you play the main game online is sad. The fact that New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe doesn't let you play online at all is embarrassing.
I've been wanting something like this for a while. I just hope it's well executed. It's kinda weird that we have to talk through our phones to chat online though...that's basically like using Skype instead.
Oh, and you wanna know what's a real slap in the face? Buying 1 game (Mario Kart 8) gives you a better reward (One $40 retail game) than spending $400+ on games and systems (a game worth $20 or less.)
This is my 2nd year in a row getting Platinum...and it seems like both those years the rewards have been the worst they've ever been...
Rewarding gold and platinum members with 1 download game is like giving someone who just bought 50 fruits a fruit that they either don't like or already have...I know that was a dumb comparison but it works lol...
I feel like the Wii U will be 3rd, and Xbox will once again outsell both Playstation. Once Wii U gets some awesome exclusives like Mario Kart and Smash Bros. sales will definitely pick up.
I really don't understand how anyone thinks the Wii U will outsell the Xbox One and PS4 though...c'mon guys...
Alright, I'll be honest...GTA V is a great game. GOTY worthy...? Sure. But the handheld game of the year cannot be Assassins Creed...I've played AC games on the PSP/Vita and it's not very good...I don't know who votes on this stuff but...damn.
And don't worry, Wii U should be able to compete next year...
Also, my friend got a few Call of Duty games from a local game shop like a week before release. If you preordered and paid in full a week ahead of time they would give you the game in box and tell you not to play online. They later got shut down, lol.
I'm not a huge fan of spoilers. Some are good, and some are bad. Some are a mix of both though, like if you find out what the starter evolution are. Yes, it ruins the surprise when you evolve it, but knowing what they look like or the typing could help your team and let you know what you're getting. I'm just going to head into the game blindly and if I get a Pokemon that's a bust, I'll just replace it and try-hard train a better Pokemon, lol.
So glad it doesn't have the game. I like getting physical copies and I'm sure if this included the game it would be downloadable and it would bring the cost up by at least $30. This is good!

Re: Feature: Nintendo Games We'd Love to See in 2014
I don't know why, but I've always liked the 2D Metroid games better than 3D...but I'm sure one on the Wii U would bring more people too it.
