I played this on ps4 and it wasn't that great on that so I didn't expect much of the wii u version. Watch dogs was incredibly over hyped and ubisoft yet again failed to deliver they haven't had the best track record lately I hope they put out some games soon that are actually good and maybe ya know working properly on release... that last part is pretty important.
I wanted to put the homebrew channel on my spare 3ds but at the price cubic Ninja is at the moment most people are probably considering a flash cart to run cubic ninja to then run the exploit. Murky waters indeed but let's face it the people that want to do this probably accept there will be no more updates for there software.
Great memories of playing the donkey Kong country games and most other Rare games. I think Rare actually kept other developers on their toes with what they could do with there games.
I mostly agree with this list and I am glad to know that a lot of other people share my enthusiasm for Super Mario world it's a fantastic Mario game. Very glad to see the galaxy games ranked so highly because imo they are some of if not the finest 3d platformers ever made.
Now while Nintendo is outsourcing games to be remade hopefully they will give us galaxy 1+2 hd good vid Nintendo life
I loved both both Banjo kazooie and Banjo Tooie Rare made some excellent games before the Microsoft acquisition now they are only Rare by name still I enjoyed playing through both of these again on the 360
@MadAdam81 all homebrew programs are free and no homebrew emulators come with roms or other people's code because then it would be illegal Did you just compare modding consoles to taking someone's life? lol
@Azooooz piracy and homebrew are different things.
Personally I haven't updated because I use my wii u to play gamecube games through vwii devolution (this homebrew features anti piracy measures and means you have to rip your own games and verify them first).
Gamecube functionality is something Nintendo can do on wii u and just don't.
This was an awesome wrestling game and a fun all round brawler, I remember preferring no mercy but it had that game breaking save game bug on all the copies I have played
I am really happy about this surprise smash bros demo I got a code and played it, before I had played the demo I was just going to wait for the wii u version but it's so much fun on 3ds and I am fully hyped up about it now so I will be getting both all because of this awesome demo
Love the snes my favourite console ever glad to see someone is taking it exploring. It's actually Asahi beer not Ashari but forget the beer it's snes up a mountain it's beautiful
Ah that Saturn controller still need to get myself one of those. The n64 analogue stick worked great although I think my controller had a drug problem every time I went to use it the thing was covered in powder.
You know what kinda breaks the magic, yearly releases of assassins creed and telling Nintendo fans they have a game ready for their system but there hasn't been enough of us buying the system to deserve it, that breaks the magic. Ubisoft are climbing my list of devs to ignore EA are already up there on top waving down to ubisoft
I own all 3 and am very happy with each of them for different reasons (Xbox One came in handy when psn was being ddos attacked on Sunday for example) although the wii u and playstation combo sounds like most people's choice.
I would also like to point out that nearly all exclusive games on xbox one aren't actually exclusive at all because you can usually buy them on 360 or pc it's almost as if Microsoft wants the xbox one to become irrelevant and this is also why I rate ps4 over XBone other than the fact most multiplatform games have slightly prettier graphics on sony's system.
I felt fairly let down by lost world and this doesn't look half as good as that so I doubt I will be in a hurry to pick this up, I'll wait for some more footage and reviews
That t shirt 'xbox 02' yeah I remember now that's the year the real rare died now you got these phonies calling themselves rare making kinect sports.
I do love old rare they were a British studio to be proud of donkey Kong country, killer instinct, goldeneye, Perfect dark, conkers bad fur day and diddy kong racing were all favourites of mine
@Nintenjoe64 optional SS controls and 2011 tech demo now your talking. Not just zelda but most Nintendo games hold the players hand way too much full of tutorials and silly amount of hints and lives I guess they fear people will be put off by a bit of challenge costing them sales.
@Nintenjoe64 I'm up for any zelda game remake or new they are awesome games but motion controls unless you're able to turn them off would honestly put a lot of people off myself included it's what has stopped me finishing skyward sword I can't stand waving my arms around I just want to sit back with a controller.
A link to the past remake using the link between worlds engine would be amazing
While it's true that emulators on phones are not accurate many people don't seem to realise that you can pair your trusty wii remote or dual shock 3 with your phone's making it much more appropriate for the accuracy you would need for mega man or Mario. I do love articles like this and have the utmost respect for anyone restoring/modding consoles and handhelds I still have my original gameboy I wouldn't mind making it black with a nice blue backlit
The first poster on this news is obviously a moron.
Anyway I read this and didn't think apple but was thinking more about Sega in the 90's
"It's not like Nintendo can simply whip out a new console and apologise for the Wii U. That would drive the community mad, and could put them where Apple was in the Nineties, with short hardware cycles and confused customers in droves."
I'm not going to be complaining since I will be getting bayonetta 1 for free but I really hope it will be a physical disc as well worldwide because I hate digital only especially with the rubbish size of the wii u internal hdd.
Wii u has got some great games now and some amazing games next year whereas there isn't anything too groundbreaking on xbox one and ps4 just yet and probably won't start to hit there stride until late next year so probably not such a bad thing to wait to buy either console
@Heiki Well the loading times are longer, the colours are more washed out and not as vibrant and its has a better frame rate on the 360 by no means a bad game on PS3 but a better game on the 360. It was quite widely reported at the time of release. I totally get you i'm not an enthusiast of digital at all except for indy games tbh
It was a refreshing surprise to see this at E3 I think the ideas are spot on and I think this will appeal to both children and adults. Nintendo could have a winner on their hands here.

@Heiki
Well the loading times are longer, the colours are more washed out and not as vibrant and its has a better frame rate on the 360 by no means a bad game on PS3 but a better game on the 360. It was quite widely reported at the time of release.
I totally get you i'm not an enthusiast of digital at all except for indy games tbh
