@BerendJan They can keep FIFA as long as the Wii U gets PES Playmaker.

@Shambo Seriously they were complaining that there were not enough Zombies...

I liked the Idea of ZOMBIU but there's not enough to keep you there playing it, If it had an "animal crossing" vibe of finding items to trade or fix up your hideout with, then that would have kept people coming back, "scavenging" for items would have been a good fit with the style of the game.

Bethesda would probably have to spend six months fixing all the bugs before Nintendo would even let them release anything..

@Fusion14

It's based on the Turrican series

@Fusion14 Turrican you mean...

YES!!!

You don't want to make games for the Wii U, we get it!

I don't know why people just can't come out and say that? Basically MS and Sony give devs the freedom to do what they want (good or bad), Nintendo don't. That's the bottom line really..

@Shambo A lot of the ZombiU reviews seemed to mark it down for not being an FPS and not having more Zombies... lol

@xNoktemAeternus Rayman was built from the ground up for Wii U, so it's very much a "Nintendo game" in that respect, the PS3 version is actually a port of Rayman, a good port but obviously not as good as the system that it was originally made for..

@JaxonH

This is why I hardly trust reviews anymore, for the majority of the games that I own on Wii U the GamePad is an absolute joy to use..

@ScroogeMcLz Similar thing happened with Wonderful 101 in regards to a lot of reviews that I read..

@ScroogeMcLz Very strange review...

@jpfan1989 Well quite.. the "reviewer" in question also gave Skyward Sword a 7.5/10

Only Gamespot marked the Wii U version lower than the others apparently.. Didn't like the gamepad levels..

@unrandomsam Champion Edition for the PC Engine was probably the best port out of the three consoles IMO.

I've got a US 3DS so I'll be getting Bit Trip. at $4.99 and maybe Resident Evil Revelations at $19.99.

Sonic Lost World could be a surprise hit, I haven't been this excited about a new Sonic game since Sonic Adventure was released.

Zelda, Watchdogs and probably for the first time since Sonic Adventure have I been looking forward to a Sonic game..

Funny FM story: guy I know at work, his flatmate got his team to the FA Cup final and wore a suit for the game

The FM crowd are hardcore!

@Peach64 Obviously you would have to make a few changes but it would work very well on the Wii U, plus you could maybe add Mii support for the player mugshots and Miiverse features, would be awesome..

@SMEXIZELDAMAN Why do americans have to try to ruin everything?

@Lionhart I'll let the doctor speak for me:

@Macarony64 FM + New Leaf cross over = No Life!!

New Leaf
Donkey Kong (original)
Trine 2
W101
RUNNER 2

Well if you think about it, there would be no point releasing it for the 360 over there..

@ferthepoet The Wii U gamepad would be fantastic for playing FM, plus it would be a great alternative to PES and FIFA. The Wii U needs some decent football action and FM would be a perfect fit..

@bezerker99 Good luck selling "soccer manager" in Europe

@MadAussieBloke The MD version's problem was the controller, the system required a multi tap for two player games!

He's also the voice of RUNNER 2, which is one of my favorite games right now..

@thanos316

People need to get out of this "iGeneration mentality" of thinking that every product is an upgrade that they must buy...

If you actually sit down and think about it the 2DS makes perfect sense. No 3D means that it's easier to market for kids, so they can play Mario Kart and Pokemon without getting headaches or falling over.

The 2DS also has the eshop which has cheap downloadable content like indie games and apps like brain training and art academy that allow kids can learn and doodle. There's also wifi so they can watch videos (nintendo zone/netflix) and browse the net, not only at home but there's hotspots in places like McDonalds and Airports etc..

The design has a kid friendly "fisher price" vibe, plus the one screen and no hinges cuts production costs way down (Nintendo are extremely clever in terms of making a profit from their hardware), which makes the 2DS more attractive to parents who will be paying for these things.

So obviously if you already have a 3DS, you really don't need this!

@Kirk Mean Machines was in a different league, I basically stopped reading games magazines when Mean Machines SEGA came to a halt.

I still have the SFII SCE, pull out special somewhere..

@Kirk I sold all my old copies on ebay recently... and yes I had the Contra Jigsaw

I'm not bothered about buying early, I've been playing MH3U, ZombiU, Nano Assault Neo and earthbound up to now and if the price drop means more sales and games then great! I want this console to succeed!

@Shiryu I remember buying the japanese version at the time, plus a HoneyBee converter. Then I got home, read the Mean Machines review and come across the cheat code that allowed you to use the same character in two player mode.. good times

@samstreet101 They only have one Premium Pack left atm...

Also strange how the MH3U Pack is £339.99..?

@Shiryu Hahaha, awesome!

I'd imagine that a lot of people will be upgrading their Wii VC version of Zelda this week

@luminalace The Super NES version was incredible... (waits for @MadAussieBloke 's thoughts on the MD version ) sad not to see it in the VC line up

If this is half as good as Smash TV then we are onto a winner there..

I really want to like the PS and XBOX as most of my friends own them but I just don't find the games that appealing to justify buying one.

Stuff like Blacklist and Watchdogs are on Wii U and use the gamepad, since Konami have decided not to release PES Playmaker for the Wii U then PES is the only game that I'd be interested in on those platforms. I think that I'd rather wait with fingers crossed for a 3DS version than buying another console..

Looks very Smash TV...

Good to see Bit Trip. getting some love in the voting. You can't go wrong for $4.99

The 2DS is a cheap option for the kids to play Pokemon on, they are even being released on the same day. I don't know why people are having such a hard time with this?

MH4 Wii U... this needs to happen!

@ForeverIgnited It has a sleep button. o ( o_0 ) o

A lot of people are completely missing the point here..

@cheleuitte I've got a HDD ready for games like Blacklist. Seems like digital is the way to go for this one..

@MadAussieBloke I was always partial to thunderforce III my self.. Not the SNES version of course.

@banacheck I'm not presuming at all, your logic is fundamentally flawed, whether you choose to accept it or not..

@URAmk2
Actually I'll come back on this, at no point did I say that digital sales would push the game much higher in the charts.

I was simply suggesting that the digital offer (that's still on) may effect the amount physical copies that were bought more than they usually would. so that MIGHT entice a FEW more people to pick up both Pikmin and W101 through the digital service.

You don't have the sales figures so digital could have POSSIBLY pushed the game up to 20 (but we don't have the figures so we will never know) which is what the article is pretty much based on "The Wonderful 101 Misses the Top 20 in UK All-Format Charts".

So i haven't contradicted myself in anyway whatsoever, you're clutching at straws,

It's a little pathetic in all honesty..

@FishieFish Those people are embarrassing..

I actually had a tear in my eye whilst reading that, great to hear..

@unrandomsam The Super NES was capable of more detailed graphics and better sound, but the CPU ran less than half the speed of the MD.

Some slowdown on SNES games were down to bad programming but it still couldn't match some of the more intesive MD shoot em ups. The SNES also needed a lot of custom chips in most of it's games to help out.

@SCAR392 said:
"No one is clinging to the 30% discount. It's there, and no one has numbers based on it. It still contributes, even if it is a low number. That's the point most were trying to get across"

I'm amazed that some people are unable to grasp such a simple concept..
