@coren It may or may not even come out for Wii U, depending on stretch goals, so I'm not really sure dropping $15 to it right now can be construed in any way as a "pre order on wii u." Article headline's overselling this.
Bluffing, to be sure. If they don't drop the deluxe package to $300 for the holiday season, I'll eat my hat-- it's the kind of move that will help them stand out against the higher-priced systems from Sony and Microsoft.
@LonDonE Haha, come on, the fastest logged typing speed in the world is around 212 WPM, you're not pulling 360.
I am cautiously optimistic about the Wii U's future. I think they're in a position that can be capitalized on, here-- if they can get some powerful titles out in the Christmas window, and couple that with, say, even a 50 dollar price drop of the deluxe model down to that 299 window, I think they're going to look pretty attractive by comparison.
Here's hoping for a Wii U Ambassador program for those of us who were early adopters and have had to ride out this long lull.
Taking risks is great, and I like new gameplay experiences - certainly I'm not some kinda purist - but those experiences have to WORK.
I also don't get how "taking risks" equates to "making a God of War clone." That seems like a different kind of playing it safe to me, though certainly a sales-conscious one
Piracy may be an interesting setting but it doesn't evoke, to me, anything about what I enjoy in an AC game. Weird choice, not really "universally" appealing.
@theblackdragon Didn't really think my comments were tearing anybody down-- certainly that wasn't my intent, anyway, and certainly not ALL of them-- guess I'm a little unclear about what's permissable and what isn't, here, because other similar comments are still up, and this article frankly invites them.
Those VC choices are baffling. Seems like there should be about a thousand other games that would take priority - and sell a lot better - than either of these choices. Who in the world is going out of their way to buy the first - and worst - Xevious?

Re: Weirdness: These "Anywhere Buttons" Look Daft Wherever You Are
They work well on tablets and phones, which is what products like this are generally designed for?
No idea why you'd stick one on a 3DS, but they definitely have a purpose.
Re: Weirdness: Say Hello to the Cross Plane, a GamePad For Other Systems
@Raylax Well I mean to be fair it's almost certainly a prototype, but yeah, it's not really selling that high price point.
Re: Weirdness: Mike Tyson Plays Punch-Out!! And Takes on His Arch-Nemesis, Glass Joe
@SuperMario2099 I have a feeling that Nintendo doesn't want to put a convicted rapist in Smash Bros. Just a hunch.

Re: Mega Man X Blasting Its Way Onto Wii U Virtual Console This Week
@Bass_X0 I never owned a wii, and while I suppose I could swap over to Wii channel and pick it up, Off-TV play is my primary way to game lately.
Re: Consumers Go Crazy For Wii U Following Xbox One Reveal

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (3DS)
Never played it on Wii, but this is sounding like the definitive version of the game to pick up. Definitely a purchase for me.

Re: Developer Interview: SnowCastle Games On Holding A Festival Of Magic On Wii U
Wow, this was not on my radar at all but I'll definitely pick it up.
