Make great games but man these guys are annoying

No runner 2 is bad. But I am not surprise...just annoyed

@Peach64
I think they are making it multi-platform

Nothing wrong with the wii u launch titles....it's simple really...they are too expensive in shops and most people are buying from online retailers where the prices are a lot more reasonable.

Too expensive at retail shops...better lower prices online like on amazon.co.uk. Does this chart take into account online sales?

Access to guns in his house had nothing to do with it either...no it's was his computer games

@TourianTourist
"the Wii U is about doing different things in the same room"
I think you are missing one of the main selling points of the Wii U....asynchronous multiplayer gameplay.

would like to see euro prices in these articles for all the games....seeing as it is the main currency in Europe....but anyway.
I think retail download games will almost always be high as long as high street game shops exist. Nintendo wont undercut the high street.

when he was with Microsoft he loved Kinect...now he has left he doesn't like Kinect...now he is making iPad games...he loves iPad....
I see a trend here...

any euro prices for the retail downloads?

From what I understand achievements are in games if developers put them in.....just no overall gamer score. I don't think that is a big loss.
And after seeing user videos of the miiverse in action I think this is the feature the next Xbox and PS will be looking at most.

Background downloads are great and all but.....what if I get the console and hit cancel update thinking I will play some games now and do the update later. Finish playing a game and turn the console off. If the console is background downloading (without me knowing it because I hit cancel) it will be bricked? That cant be right????

The update download is around 1GB.....not 5GB

When will Nintendolife be reviewing launch titles?
New Super Mario Bros. U has already been getting some impressive review scores...same with nintenoland

assassins creed 3 is also listed at 17GB.....I think it looks like wiishop games will be around 1.5GB-2GB and retail games around 17GB....

Anyone wanting to get an idea of eshop download sizes might want to check out some games on Steam

Trine 2 is listed as needing 1.5GB of hard disk space...I expect the Wii U to be similar.
Toki Tori 2 is listed as coming soon so no disk space requirement is listed yet.

this refers to SD cards and not external hard drives....other websites have the correct translation. Nintendolife should really update the article

@LEGEND_MARIOID I dont think you cant play off SD cards but you can play off an external hard drive...I remember seeing this somewhere on twitter I think. dont know how true it is .

Will this take up some of my 32GB space or will it use space set aside for the operating system???

if people think this is expensive wait until the next xbox and ps are announced....seeing as some people think they are going to be three times as powerful

people over react too much these days and only see the message they want to see in things. People love to complain

Voice chat would be nice for when you are playing with your friends...like party chat on the Xbox. Not great playing with friends online and you can't chat. Wonder were saga just lazy and rushing for launch seeing as cod etc. have voice chat.

I agree with @zyph...the headline is very sensationalist. I dont know how nintendolife got "clueless" from these quotes from activision.

I wonder did he like the pro controller for the wii....I think this wii u pro controller is probably a similar build quality etc.

@erv I agree...I think its great news. More diverse game from more developers that wont cost a fortune to develop is a good thing. And because of the link between unity and mobile I can see a lot of developers seeing it as an opportunity to get games into both WiiU and IOS/Android markets. Ubisoft talked about this already.

Unity isnt just for phone games...a lot on PC.
Check out this list...

@MariosLoveChild I think we need the pro controller for the survivors Vs zombies mode?
Or maybe that mode been dropped...have not heard alot about it. But it would be strange to give a controller with a bundle when you dont need it.

@PrimedMetroid @C-Olimar
any phone with a web browser...did say wont be ready at launch tho

seen mixed hands on previews for this...will wait for a review. Looks cool tho...I want it to be good

@Alexneon and to buy another 3DS in 2013?

I think it makes more sense to announce release dates and games at E3 rather than in a release schedule document now.

Does anyone know if the resident evil demo is the same one that was included with Resident Evil Mercenaries?

@YellowChocobo I agree but I really dont think Minecraft on the Ipad is a good example to use? Its the basic first version of the game for €5.49?....No mining or crafting...no online....

monster hunter

maybe the problem is with amazon.com? Amazon.co.uk are still selling it.
No where in the quote from amazon does it say that a problem is with the 3DS. Its just a standard message from amazon for any product. Could be anything.

@JesusSaves the new controller has all normal controller buttons so I don't see this as a problem......third party developers seem to like it as well and have been saying all good things. Just have to hope that all that positive talk turns into games
@Yogsoggoth were the specs announced???

People are so optimistic on these forums. Full of good vibes

reviews have been disappointing for this. Think I will wait a few weeks for a price drop.....

I wonder have nintendo forgot that European 3DSs have 3D screens as well with all the 2D videos this week....
donkey Kong will be good tho...

@MARIOOO prob just the ridge racer fix update....let us know

wouldn't hold my breath for online play.....hope I am wrong tho. Would work great online.

well written impressions....but would have preferred to see impressions from someone who got to play all the demos available....I know they were not real games but still...

I agree with everything Ado says. He is my hero!
We just want the same content as the other regions. Not really too much to ask I don't think

Good review...have this pre-ordered with my 3DS
I know there is no multiplayer but is there a way to see our friends score on the challenges...like a friends leaderboard or something?
