Sadly at $470 AU for just the system with nothing else its just too much. I can get a standard PS4 cheaper with a game or a PS4 pro for $90 more with a game. Will wait for the price drop if that even happens.
I have no issues with the game itself having no voice chat but Nintendo should be adding party chat to the Wii U in general so you can communicate to your friends in a closed environment if you want.
Awesome they are releasing new DLC for the Wii U! Just a shame you cant actually play online on the WiiU due to the horrible connection issues that are "still under investigation".
@MadAdam81
Yes there are others, you cant invite friends to join you, they cant invite you etc etc. Its just a mess
Strange review as I really feel this game has returned the series back to a better stealth game than some previous editions. Sure the load times are horrible (hey its the Wii U!) and its a shame there is no offline co-op but it would still have been a high 8 to 9 out of 10 for me.
Sorry they registered the domain in 2004 which was before even the name Wii was announced let alone the Wii U. Glad Nintendo didn't win.If you want something go buy it Nintendo.
And they will then say they are not developing for the Wii U due to poor sales of this game like EA did with FIFA13. You give the Wii U games with half the game missing and no one will buy it. Stupid Devs!!
Well for now I will be getting all retails released games on disc and just download e-shop only titles digitally of course . Reason is the cost difference and the speed of the download via Nintendo's network.
Sad thing with EB is that the store by me had 2 Wii U Monster Hunters for sale on release day and of course sold out and now they have none to sell. Seems like they dont believe in the console at all.
Well having grabbed the PS3 version I enjoy it and find the MP to be really fun. Playing the campaign on the Harder settings definitely makes the game before. Play it on normal and you can breeze though it, up it to hardcore and those Aliens make short work of you if you are a bad shot.
Well not in the US here but I got 4 extra Wii U games and Monster Hunter Tri cause I couldnt wait till March Sonic Blops2 Scribblenauts ZombiU Nintendoland (with Premium so didnt count that in my 4)
Seems like Trine 2 is not on the AU e-shop at the moment I have read. Oh well 7hrs later and update has stalled through the night so about 20% left. /sigh

Re: Splatoon Producer Inks Out Reasons For Lack Of Voice Chat And Staggered Content Roll-Out
I have no issues with the game itself having no voice chat but Nintendo should be adding party chat to the Wii U in general so you can communicate to your friends in a closed environment if you want.

Will grab it once it hits bargain/sale prices for the kids.

Re: Australia rejoice! Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition is Heading Down Under Soon

Re: Deep Silver Has "No Plans" To Support Wii U
well for me at least there are 2 useless games they mentioned so no loss
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Should Make EA Co-operation a Priority
Any extra games is good for the Wii U, doesnt mean you have to buy them if you dont like EA but more high profile games can not hurt the console.
Re: Talking Point: The Download or Disc Dilemma
Well for now I will be getting all retails released games on disc and just download e-shop only titles digitally of course .
Reason is the cost difference and the speed of the download via Nintendo's network.
Re: Review: Need for Speed: Most Wanted U (Wii U)
Awesome game and stunning graphics on the Wii U.
Re: Aussie Retailers Express Their Views on Wii U
Sad thing with EB is that the store by me had 2 Wii U Monster Hunters for sale on release day and of course sold out and now they have none to sell. Seems like they dont believe in the console at all.

Dont really care for DLC myself but still going to get this game. Have it on the Vita and it was impressive enough on that machine!

Re: Rumour: Wii U Version Of Aliens: Colonial Marines Postponed?
Well having grabbed the PS3 version I enjoy it and find the MP to be really fun. Playing the campaign on the Harder settings definitely makes the game before. Play it on normal and you can breeze though it, up it to hardcore and those Aliens make short work of you if you are a bad shot.
Re: The Darksiders Series Looks To Be Over
Shame enjoyed both these games.
