Nintendo drought. My only speculation is that Nintendo is putting all of their AAA dev teams to work on games for the NX. These JV team games are lack luster.
I've switched back over to exclusively playing Steam games.
They need a game announcement direct and a DLC/Amiibo/eShop direct. Maybe alternating every quarter. This last direct was disappointing for me. Next to none of the games appealed to me.
So it's just an emulator with IO for each console? Hmm. I guess it's good if you have a ton of games from each console and don't want to hook up each to your tv... Emulation though ew.
@yuwarite I think that's the point everyone is missing here. Not that it's a dumb meme but the fact that localization is stepping into an area that could be a slippery slope.
I only buy digital on the Wii U wehn it's a game I'll play in spurts like Smash or Splatoon. I tend to keep one physical disc in my system until I finish it and then move on. Splatoon and Smash seem to never really end and I sometimes only want to play for 15 minutes or so. Digital is perfect for this scenario.
The surprise twist that fans didn't ask for will be the name of the game, "Zelda Federation Force". Team up with 8 friends online as each take control of a Octorok to take down the evil Generic-final-boss. It's everything no one asked for AND MORE!
It's pointless to even follow the timeline. Treat every game as it's own Zelda story/timeline where some elements might overlap. I'm putting this Zelda title in the garbage timeline.
I don't have any kids but all of my friends that do love the Wii U and the family friendly games. But I don't think they're all in the living room participating like the goofy picture up top.

Re: Nintendo Download: 26th November (Europe)
Some classic NES titles! WOW it's about time we've gotten good news from the VC front.
People give Double Dragon 3 a lot of flak but I always enjoyed it and remember renting and beating it in a weekend with just practice.

Re: Editorial: Linkle May be a Clunky Introduction For a 'Female Link', But Opens Up Interesting Possibilities
Is this progressive or just pandering?
Re: Amazon Lists Pokémon Red, Yellow And Blue At 10 Bucks A Pop

Re: Video: Watch Kids React To The Original Pokémon Anime Television Series
How long until "Watch kids watching kids react to 'watching kids' videos"?
It's the same thing every time.
Re: Poll: Did The Nintendo Direct Comeback Fire on All Cylinders?
They need a game announcement direct and a DLC/Amiibo/eShop direct. Maybe alternating every quarter. This last direct was disappointing for me. Next to none of the games appealed to me.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 12th November
I don't care about Wii Zelda's, Pokemon, Animal Crossing board games, or JRPGs.
Maybe that's why I've gone back to PC gaming lately. I'd rather have Nintendo port over more SNES VC games.
Re: Mother 3 Heading to the Wii U eShop in Japan on 17th December
Yeah still waiting for Super Mario RPG in the west. It's already in the JP Wii U eshop.

Re: Nintendo Download: 12th November (North America)
so annoyed that nintendo has dropped SNES VC games
Re: Feature: What We Expect from Nintendo Direct - 12th November
I don't expect much. Probably more DLC for Smash and amiibo cards. The last two directs have been rehashes of material we've already known.

Re: Zelda Fans Vent Anger At Nintendo of America Over Doge Memes In Tri Force Heroes
@yuwarite I think that's the point everyone is missing here. Not that it's a dumb meme but the fact that localization is stepping into an area that could be a slippery slope.
Re: Zelda Fans Vent Anger At Nintendo of America Over Doge Memes In Tri Force Heroes
Glad to see millennials now working for Nintendo. blech
Re: Zelda Fans Vent Anger At Nintendo of America Over Doge Memes In Tri Force Heroes
@BenAV so it's not a big deal but you're glad you get the UK translation? Contradicting yourself in the very same sentence, that's impressive.

Re: Poll: The Tricky Issue of Retail Games as Download-Only Releases

Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd October (North America)
What's with all of the GBA releases of SNES games? So stupid.

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (3DS)
@GraveLordXD Totally agree.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (3DS)
Super fans will buy anything with Zelda slapped on the box unfortunately. I can't believe they spent dev time on this instead of a true sequel.
