I have most of Ubisoft's games on my Wii U. For the most part, they're pretty damn good. I don't want to see Ubisoft abandon their support for the Wii U, but if they can't make a profit...
Why do you make things so hard for yourselves, Nintendo?
Look at all this feed back. People WANT THIS, but it's only available in one city in the entire country. Do you guys realize the amount of potential sales you are about to pass up?
@Yorumi - Yeah it was! In the beginning, I hated coming across Snakers online. But I quickly acknowledged that these were skilled players and that in order to beat a skilled player, you have to become skilled yourself. And so I learned. It was hard, even harder to do online. But but it paid off!
I though every Mario Kart game after DS would take this kind of approach.
I hope Mario Kart's dev team handles the game balance correctly this time. It's the only thing they ever get wrong. As of late, Mario Kart always punishes the racers with the most racing-skill and rewards the ones who struggle the most. It's frustrating when you know you're good, you've been practicing and playing your hands off, but then you get online only to be pummeled with a huge barrage of items because you're who was able to pull out in front of everyone early on. And once you're pulled back into the pack, you never get out. It's just turns into a huge chaotic item-fest because there are 12 players and FAR too many opportunities to grab items/power ups.
So far, the only Mario Kart game with true balance is the SNES Super Mario Kart. It's still my current favorite of the whole series. Don't get me wrong, I love every single Mario Kart game I've ever played and I have really high hopes for Mario Kart 8. But I think the only other Mario Kart game that rewards skilled players (other than the original) is Mario Kart DS. If you knew how to "Snake" you could recover from just about any amount of item pummeling you took from other players. But snaking required some series skills.
There is really no need to get all caught up in visuals anymore. All I want are games that are FUN. If Watch Dogs is a fun game, then it's a WIN in my book.
FINALLY! Some good Metroid news! Retro Studios should be the only ones handling this game in my opinion. But the one thing I do ask is that the game has plenty of voice acting, including Samus herself!

THAT is how do Mario Kart right.
Re: Exclusive: Nintendo Developing "Virtual U" VR Platform to Rival Sony's Morpheus and Oculus Rift
If it's real, yes. If it's April fools, no.

Re: The Next Batman Game Is Arkham Knight, And No, There Won't Be A Wii U Version
Really bummed about this since I really loved what Rocksteady gave us with Arkham City and those awesome Gamepad features.
Guess I'll be getting this (MAYBE) for PC.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Racing Wheel Available For Preorder In The UK, Looks Suspiciously Like The Old Wii One
Bah. Motion and waggle stuff just doesn't work in Mario Kart. Gimmie the Gamepad and Pro Controller any day!
Re: Space Simulator "Space Pioneer" Shoots for the Stars with Kickstarter
This looks extremely interesting. I'll have to keep an eye on this.
Re: Video: This New F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition Trailer Hits the Accelerator
Ah, but is it better than Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed? Because that's what I'm playing right now until MK8.
Re: Nintendo Is Sorry That The Wii U's TVii Service Hasn't Launched In The UK Yet
When you guys finally get it over seas, you will love it (especially for sports). Promise!
Re: Mario Kart 8 Jump Festa Impressions
Please Nintendo, for the love of god, NO BLUE SHELLS in this one! It completely unbalances the game.
Re: Video: Just Look For The U On The Box, Nintendo's New Wii U Promotion Helpfully Suggests
Ah, so Nintendo has finally wised up and is now trying to straighten out the confusion between Wii and Wii U.
These are the kind of commercials we should have been seeing a year ago. But better late than never!
Re: GamePad High Capacity Battery Available Now in Europe
Hopefully this comes to North America SOON. I sooo need one of these!

Re: SoulCalibur II HD On Wii U "Isn't Out Of The Question", Says Series Producer
This would be a DAY ONE purchase for me. Lets cross our fingers in hopes that it actually happens.
Re: Poll: Would You Buy Grand Theft Auto V On Wii U?
@theworldgamer I'd have to agree! Off-screen play is the main reason I'd want GTA 5 on the Wii U over the other consoles.
