Re: Talking Point: Is There A Future For The Wii U Without The GamePad?

Platinumhobo

I hope no one that hasn't actually played through a game or two on the WiiU is even voting on this. Of course they should keep the gamepad. It's fun, which is exactly why I play video games. I feel like 70% of gamers care way too much about what their game console can do besides play fun games. WiiU has fun games, which is why I'm so lost on it selling poorly. Graphics don't make games fun(though if they are like PS2 level it can be a hinderance). Social networking doesn't make games fun. Whatever people's issue is with the eshop also does not make the games any less fun.

Like seriously, there is nothing exciting on the Xbox One and that thing is somehow selling. Mind you that is just my personal opinion but that's my opinion as a gamer. They can throw as many numbers, pixel counts, commercials about sports and movies at me as they want but I don't care. I just want fun games. And the WiiU is slowly but surely delivering. That's my issue with the gaming community, developers and gamers, now. The graphics really should not be stopping anyone from putting enjoyable games on that enjoyable console.
P.S. Before anybody can say it no the WiiU does not have PS2 level graphics. You are clearly going overboard with whatever spite you may have with graphics that aren't on the same exact level as PS4.

Re: Poll: As the PS4 Arrives, What Do You Think of the 'New Gen' Environment for Wii U?

@ThumperUK that, that I can say that I respect that pretty reasonable opinion. Being unhappy about how Nintendo has presented the WiiU is totally valid. Now over here in America I have seen a commercial for 3D World more than a few times so I think they are trying to fix things, but being a bit pissed about it taking so long is totally understandable and kind of expected honestly.

I'm just not upset about it because Nintendo doing things there own way has never failed me before, no matter how skeptical I got. I'm looking at the GameCube as I say that.

Re: Poll: As the PS4 Arrives, What Do You Think of the 'New Gen' Environment for Wii U?

There are quite a few unhappy Nintendo fans here that have some strong negative emotions towards the WiiU. I'm a very happy WiiU owner that feels no need to buy a PS4 or even think about wasting money of a XOne. Mostly because I haven't been disappointed with anything I've bought. Wonderful 101 has been the best so far, TTT2 was great, and so was Injustice. The remakes have been fun, though I will admit I have not paid full price for them. Plus, I have plenty of indie and VC games like Nano Assault Neo and Super Metroid.

If one of you wouldn't mind, and others are free to back them up, can you give me a detailed reason why you are unhappy with the WiiU? And by detailed I mean more than "The games aren't fun" cuz that's a variety of games you're just casually dismissing.

Re: Monster Hunter 4 Dominates in Japan as The Wind Waker HD Has a Modest Debut

Personally I think WWHD came out to close to a brand new Zelda title. For example, as the end of September rolled around I realized "crap, I'll only have enough money and time to play Pokemon in October. Oh well, i guess I'll just skip on WWHD and get LBW the following month."
With like a literal 2 seconds of thought I came to a conclusion that would make me pass on it. WWHD should have come out during the summer.

Re: Soul Calibur II HD Online Not Announced For Wii U

Platinumhobo

I'm definitely down with this because II is still the best one in the series. 4 and 5 really do not stack up. Nintendo should really be getting this though, we've been getting some really nice Namco support as of late and this makes me worry that we won't see games like SCVI, Tekken 7, and Tales of Next on the Wii U. Please don't let me down Namco. They could at least just release the original GameCube version on the eshop so we can have Link and just skip on the online.

Re: Satoru Iwata - "There Are Some Reasons Behind" Region Locking

Platinumhobo

Look...I would have never played my all time favorite game if region locking had any say. Jump Super Stars and its beautiful sequel Ultimate Stars was the first game I ever imported and by goodness did I play that game consistently on my DS for the next 3 or 4 years. After i beat FE Awakening i definitely started playing it again! Nintendo should really realize what they are passing up on, because some people would be more willing to buy their systems if they know they can play whatever they want.
