Yea, I agree with many here. Why didn't they include both control options? Anyway, what is a bigger problem for me is the fact that they haven't also included a Wii world orientation (mirrored mode) without hero difficulty for people who have played the Wii version. Of course one might call this good chance to play the game how it was originally made (aka Gamecube version), but still I'd like to play the game how I originally played it. Please Nintendo, it's not too late for simple updates.
Don't have this game yet, but apparently there is no motion controls or mirrored mode without hero difficulty, which I think are real bummers as a fan of the original Wii version, possibly enough for me not to get this game... . Am I only one who thinks this?
Am I only one who thinks the europe box art is lot better....well I think so anyway, I like it's closer to the original box art with a darker tone fitting the darker tone of this awesome game. Also I am hoping there is like a option to play the game Wii version style with everything mirrored from gamecube version and motion controls and no gamepad, or just the gamecube version style. I'd personally prefer the Wii version with the original Wii controls since it's the version I own and originally played and loved. I am sure everyone has their preference about the versions, so both versions should be must. Also I don't like if they are cutting those tear sections and making the game easier, I actually kind of liked those sections.
@luke88 And where are the stuff about Bravely Second announcements from european direct. These things weren't in the Nintendo direct summary either. I mean why, I am not completely sure what was in NA direct, but feels like all these summaries and stuff are based solely on NA direct, but like I said, I don't know, but it's just weird that things are completely left out.
This better not happen with western release. Western people just won't put up with such rediculous milking of money. Similiar things happen in Japan all the time when western usually get's the full final thing (like Monster Hunter series with those better ultimate editions), hopefully this will be the same and Europe and US will get a complete game. I just don't know how japanese people can put up with such money milking, I think Nintendo is misusing the trust and enthusiasm of their native country men and women.
This is a good thing. I live in finland and they did the same thing with Mario Kart 8 + free game thing which was nice. But like said, it would be very nice to get a full club Nintendo here.
I just got my Wii U not too long ago and Black Ops II alongside with it and the single player was actually really good, lot better than in the first Black Ops. Also I have been playing the multiplayer and have been really enjoying it, also lot better than in the first Black Ops. The game works really well on Wii U and looks good. For me this news is just kind of surprising positive news since I never knew it was missing in the first place.
I don't understand what all big developers have against Wii U, it's like they are just abandoning the system and thinking all hope is lost for Wii U, even Wii U is clearly alive and getting just better. Just come on Capcom, you know this is wrong.
Me too will choose Wii U over Ps4 first. When I just build up enough money, Wii U is in the top of my list. (Xbox one does not even count) Ps4 certainly has better graphics and will get all the multiplatform games, but will not get any Nintendo games (many of them must have games). Also Nintendo hardware alone is more unique than on the Sony or Microsoft side.
I agree with Miamota and Nintendo. Local multiplayer should be the focus before online multiplayer, having fun with friends in the same room far more fun than playing online.
I agree completely, I hate when companies like Square Enix are porting their franchises and old games to smartphones and tablets. It brings shame for those old classics and makes them feel cheap even they once were incredible high quality games and still are in their original platforms or on virtual console.
For once he is right, but that's how it always have been with Nintendo. If I just had money I would buy another console or consoles regardless, because Sony just has so many extremely good exclusive games, so this isn't anything new really.
I am still playing Black Mesa and Final Fantasy. In three weeks the Fire Emblem Awakening will be in Europe and I will be very happy when that happens.
I have to agree. Wii is my personal favorite console currently. Mostly for it's awesome games, but also Wii was the first console ever which I bought myself, so there is some special emotional value included.
On PC I get everything digitally in Steam, but on consoles... nope. I prefer good old boxed retail games on consoles, because it gives you the real feeling of ownership and collecting. On PC I just feel somehow different. The box doesn't just feel to have a same kind of value than in consoles. I not going to go into more detail about this, but some may know what I mean.
He has a point about two control sticks and more powerfull handheld hardware, but about everything else he is wrong. Two screens is not just a gimmick, it really helps to have two screens in many games. I also think that beside better games, the dual screen is the thing what makes 3DS better console in my opinion.
Frankly, I don't understand him and I think he is wrong. Stories are the main reason why I play video games and without them I wouldn't be playing video games nearly as much. For me the compination of good story and "good enough" gameplay is the thing why I like games more than movies and books. But I know that people like different things and this is just how I like it.
I think they should really bring back the original release date and fast. I had faith in ubisoft before but with this ubisoft really disappointed me and caused some doupt against them. Come on Ubisoft, even the developer team is angry.
Did you guys know for example, AMD FX-4170 is 4,2 Ghz four core processor but Intel core i5-3450 3,1 Ghz (four cores) for example is lot more powerful and faster than AMD FX-4170. It is all about the architecture. (but still the CPU speed is super low if 1,2 Ghz is true)
I don't care for achievements, I don't play games for achievements. I play games for enjoyble experience and achievements are not a part of that experience. Altough achievements could be nice litle extra but trying to get achievements intentionally is waste of time in my opinion.
Iwata is right, we shoukd think tablets and smart phones as allies not as enemies because gaming on those platforms will never really match gaming on real gaming console and they can be used to get information about Nintendo like computers, but in lot easier way.
Mario Galaxy games shouldn't be in that list, how in world they are in the second and first places. I hate Mario games, but that's just me. I am probably only one in the world who dislike Mario and I don't understand why.
This time he is not being hugglebunny, I think he has a point. I am Nintendo core fan and I will buy Wii U no matter what. But will everybody buy Wii U no matter what? I sure hope so but I doubt it.

Re: Nintendo Executive Describes Rise of Tablet Gaming as "Undeniable"
