I'm done buying Ubisoft games so I don't care what they do with this or Watchdogs.

Blacklist was the last straw for me..

Tommo deserve more than a termination demand, they should get 3-5 years for that abomination..

@DrScottnik Me to, apart from Rayman Legends, Ubisoft have been a bit of a disappointment IMO.

The fact that they said that they still have issues with the Wii U architecture, is very worrying indeed. Especially when other devs have been saying how easy it is to work with.

But in saying that, the PS3 and 360 versions of Blacklist were not exactly a "smooth ride", says more about Ubisoft than than the Wii U really..

Definitely picking up Zelda, more free VC games please Nintendo

SWOS is still one of the best football games i've ever played, Cannon Fodder is also a firm favourite...

So this is from three days of sales?

@ricklongo It's also 720p 60fs confirmed

I'm not surprised, the Neo Geo X really is a piece of crap.

The CVMS Slim on the other hand...

I've been waiting for a Little Inferno price drop...

Still waiting for mine, I pre-ordered but there seems to be a back order

Speaking of Cell Shading, I thought that XIII was pretty cool.

Do we really need anymore Zombie games?

@SanderEvers Mee too, my old charging setup died a few months ago and I get through batteries playing BLOPSII

@Samurai_Goroh It'll probably end up being a much better port to Wii U than Blacklist is.

@LDXD There's a blog I follow that's not been up long, they post Wii U bargains, its only UK prices though...

@LDXD You could buy Rayman Legends at £26 before it was even released at some UK sites, then Amazon dropped it to £20.99 after a week or so, they did a similar thing with Splinter Cell too. One week I bought three brand new Wii U games for around £60, which I was very happy about...

The prices seem to fluctuate here for some reason, just had a quick look and Rayman is now back up to £31.99...

@LDXD Should sell well in the UK, its only £23.99 @ Amazon UK, I'm definitely picking it up at that price..

I pre-ordered, should get it today..

The VC games would actually be worth the price if they were 'cross-buy"

I'd love another Pandora's Tower game.

@ArkOne77 For all we know Nintendo could have quite possibly helped Capcom out just to make MH4 happen?

A SEGA, CAPCOM and Nintendo alliance would be very nice indeed...

Sign of the times, huge sales needed to cover massive production costs. Unsustainable business model.

@TrueGamer1985 You don't though because what you've written makes no sense.. Seriously read it back yourself and you'll see.

@TrueGamer1985 He does have a point, your previous comment hardly made any sense at all...?

I'm going to bookmark this page for future reference as like I said before, there is going to be some monumental flip-flopping going on over the 2DS.

@Dreamcaster-X Great minds...

Japan really isn’t a good indicator, home console sales have been on the decline, the Wii and PS3 only sold around 9M units each over there and Sony are even releasing the PS4 later in Japan as Europe and the US are the main markets these days.

Just like Mario World 3D, there's going to be a lot of flip-flopping going on regarding the 2DS...

@9th_Sage @TruenoGT Add me to the Castlevania Rebirth list, fantastic game!

@FiveDigitLP I know a guy that sold his Wii (in a fit of rage over motion controls) and repurchased a GameCube, he connects his GC up to his TV via composite, Madness!!!

Wii + Component cable is a hell of a lot cheaper than a GameCube + Component cable.

@JaxonH I decided to wait and picked up blacklist for £24.99, so I can't really complain too much, £55.00 on the eShop though is a completely different story.

It sounds like Ubisoft made strides regarding the hardware concerning AC4 on Wii U, one to keep an eye on for sure...

@JaxonH I've commented before on this, I bought Blacklist and ZombiU and enjoyed them for the most part, but the fact that Ubisoft can't release a stable game on Wii U worries me slightly.

There's no excuse really, especially in Blacklist's case, it's a 360 game yet the Wii U version is only a slight improvement?

@TheRealThanos Well Ubisoft games in general are not exactly a smooth ride, which is another reason why I find that quote interesting. We know that Shin'en can back it up though, so can't wait to see what they have in store..

Shin'en also make comparisons between the eDRAM of the 360 and the Wii U and goes on to say that not only does the Wii U have more to work with but it's also used a lot more efficiently and has way more versatility from what I understand, Interesting stuff.

BTW my copy of Rayman Legends turned up this morning

@TheRealThanos It will be interesting to see the next Shin'en game that's for sure..

Again I bought Blacklist and thought that they should have done more than an 360 port with higher frame rate but I am enjoying the game, seems like the current gen is holding the Wii U back a little regarding multiplats.

I also bought Rayman Legends a few days ago so I'll be looking forward to that, I mean a great multiplat game that was built for Wii U? There's not many of those around atm..

"The Wii U architecture poses some technical challenges that we’ve been able to thankfully overcome. It hasn’t been easy, but we’re really proud of the final result on this console."

I find this comment interesting, especially if you look back at the Shin'en article with Manfred Linzner, who basically said that he was amazed how much he could throw at the Wii U without any slowdowns, even with zero optimizations. He went on to say that with only some tiny changes he was able to optimize certain heavy load parts.

Also Two Tribes sent out a very positive tweet regarding the Wii U's texture compression capabilities..

@JogurtTheYogurt Sorry it's actually £35.99! Here.

For some reason I thought that WW digital release was on Sep 20th and the retail disc was the 4th Oct?

I was going to buy the digital version but I came across the WW retail disc for £35.00 online, good times!

Also, no Final Fight Guy!!

Ubisoft: "Come and play our 360 games in a slightly higher frame rate on Wii U..."

Thanks Ubisoft!

There's no guarantee that the multiplayer is going to be any good.

It's no secret that EA wanted Origin integrated into the Wii U's OS, there is no strong relationship at all as EA are employing "Dreamcast tactics" on the Wii U.

I find it weird how they keep referring to this gen as 4th gen, when EA started publishing console games on the Megadrive. EA also wanted to publish games on the NES but Nintendo said no as they wanted "more lucrative terms" than everyone else.

@WesCash Obviously you and Richard Hilleman haven't read this article.

4th Generation?

£37.99 (Amazon UK) + £15.99 DLC = £53.99 No Thanks!

I really don't understand why people are so into DLC? You're basically paying full price for incomplete games.. and then paying extra to download the rest of it.

In saying that though, if you bought this with the DLC, it's still cheaper than Splinter Cell if you bought it from the eShop.. (that's SC without any DLC)

EA have always been a s**t stain on the industry, back when they were trying to get into the console market Nintendo refused to give them publishing rights as did SEGA, so they decided to muscle in on the console market by acquiring a "rogue" Genesis devkit and reverse engineered it in order to blackmail SEGA in to giving them a deal on EA's terms. They also dropped support for the Dreamcast over "SEGA SPORTS" because EA wanted the whole pie and they don't like any form of competition.

Now it looks like they're now trying do a similar thing to Nintendo, because "allegedly" they refused to integrate EA’s Origin online service into the Wii U as it’s main online OS.

...and regarding the "legacy" thing with FIFA... EA have been doing this since 1993, it was only when PES started to get popular (being the much better game) and people found a way to mod the game to incorporate licensed kits that EA actually decided to make changes to the way FIFA played by basically copying the the old PES engine.

So much for EA's "tremendous relationship" with Nintendo...

The best thing about the PC Engine games is that they all run at 60hz too

@TwilightV I already had them too, glad I got in there early..

@FineLerv We didn't get in the UK either sadly, I used to see PC Engine stuff in import shops (remember those) from back in the day but it was way too expensive.

@Peach64 FIFA now plays exactly the same way that PES used to so it's not like EA have done anything "revolutionary" themselves to improve the game.

You can go on about how many units the game has sold and how EA tried to change the game engine in order to make it a "half decent" football game, but it still doesn't change the fact that nobody would care about the game if EA didn't have the monopoly on a "full, exclusive" license..

Like I said before, without the official license, EA wouldn't even be allowed to call it FIFA.

@FineLerv Some of the PC Engine arcade ports of SEGA games were better than the "SEGA" Megadrive ports, Outrun for instance...

@Chris720 Idiots, I mean "people" still do because of the official license, EA are the only publisher to have "full rights" to every league because they have exclusive deals with a lot of clubs.

Without that monopoly they wouldn't have had the biggest selling football game for so long as even if other companies make a better football game, people still want to see all the official teams, players and kits etc.

Damn! Without those rights EA wouldn't even be allowed to call it FIFA...
