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.
I'm actually surprised people like the game so much. I loved the anime, but watching gameplay made it look so so sooooo boring. I guess I'll just have to try it.
So...Wii U is getting "hardcore" game and people are complaining? Way to be disappointing fanbase. And if you really want to yell at someone about not getting the game on PS4/One blame Sega. They dropped Bayonetta in the first place.
@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.
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.
Well this is pretty disappointing. That's just one more reason for me to get a Vita to start playing fighters again. I'm a big fighting game fan and I love the Wii U so stuff like this is a big issue for me.
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.
Is no one else worried that this Pokemon is throwing things off a little too much. All normal moves are ice AND an ice move that decimates water types. It's a bit much.
It's a good thing I just got a job and that my friend is buying 3D World for all of us to play. I've got like 2 games per month to get for the rest of the year now.
Well here's hoping my idol's newest baby sells well. I've already paid off my copy so that's in the bag, and as soon as I hear a release date I'll be saying the same for it. I hate seeing good, innovative games sell badly and crappy expansions passed off as sequels sell like hot cakes.
I'm totally fine with this. Kamiya seems to do a great job rigging little nods and shoutouts to his older works in his new IPs, so it's not like Bayonetta or any of his other titles will just die off. Plus, the dude is really good at handling new IPs. I'm excited for whatever he plans to make next.
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.
@SanderEvers well wouldn't it be possible on 3ds? You can play games from other regions on it, it's just that if they find out you played something from another region they'll brick your system. Just don't brick me bro.
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.

@Kroisos wow, you know what I'd never seen that list. And yes @I-AM-REGGIE is absolutely right. I noticed that double standard late last year.

@BinaryFragger thank you kind sir. I guess my faith in purchasing it has been restored!

I want to get Retro City Rampage, but I feel like I'll be squinting to make things out on the original 3ds. Can anyone confirm that.
Re: First Impressions: We Shine A Light On Arc System Works Action RPG Swords & Darkness
I heard about this a month ago, and it looks really interesting. The first impression makes it sound pretty weak. I'd still love to try a demo.

Re: Matters of Import: E.X. Troopers Brings The Heat To 3DS
Considering that MML3's engine went to making this we should have definitely gotten this game already.

Show me some good ole gameplay and I'm in! The concept sounds pretty fun and I'd be interested in playing through that on my 3ds.
Re: Performance of Batman: Arkham Origins Wii U Version Compares Unfavourably to 360 and PS3
@AdanVC yeah, my post right there. Maybe they'll change once we start getting more PS4 and One multis the developers will stop being so lazy.

Senran Kagura then Sonic, then I'll get River City Ransom.
Re: Marth Confirmed as the Latest Challenger in Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS
Good to see Marth back as a veteran. The King should be a regular, and hopefully Chrom is the newcomer for Fire Emblem.

Re: SoulCalibur II HD On Wii U "Isn't Out Of The Question", Says Series Producer

Re: 3DS System Update Goes Live, Doesn't Really Do Anything
@DarkNinja9 my thoughts exactly. I think it's just the calm before the wonderful storm.
Re: Video: These Sonic Lost World Bosses Look Rather Fun
I'll definitely be buying this. Just can't get it right away, gotta wait until Christmas.
Re: Bravely Default: For the Sequel To Serve as Testing Ground For Follow-Up
Oh I've definitely been looking forward to this. Glad that we are getting sort of "Final Mix" version.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th September (North America)
I'm still trying to find time to play Earthbound, so no Breath of Fire II for me. But, consider Recca already bought. I love a good shmup.

@Ryno if you don't mind me asking is there any specific reason why they shouldn't?
Re: Kamiya Doesn't Think Bayonetta 3 Will Ever Happen, But Is Open To Okami Sequel

Re: SEGA Reportedly Interested in Acquiring Atlus' Parent Company
@Samurai_Goroh hmm...good viewpoint. Ok, SEGA getting them would be fine in my book.
Re: SEGA Reportedly Interested in Acquiring Atlus' Parent Company
I really hope Nintendo gets them. Makes sense.

@AcesHigh yep, exactly how I feel. Take that combo heavy, quick time event crap out.
Re: Soul Calibur II HD Online Not Announced For Wii U
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.
