super meat boy! played 2-3 levels once a couple of years ago, very excited about this! Maybe ducktales. I LOVE PLATFORMERS

I'm only half interested in the NX news, it comes when it comes, curious to see how and what, but the release date is the most important info about it, so thats good news.

I'm not interested by the E3 news since i won't be there, so i wont be playing anything anyway (they could still SHOW gameplay/news of other games, and that's what Im interested in). So this isn't really saying something unless your actually attending E3.

Will not be playing on mobile, so i'll skip that news. Only thing that bugs me is that between the lines is seems to state that WiiU will not be getting much more, but i could be wrong...

I was quite hyped in 2014, but now i've really lost interest in this game, since all info Nintendo gives turned out wrong or really vague. At this point, i'm assuming Zelda will be released in 2020 or something, and will in no way deliver (like star fox, tennis, party, animal crossing). I've lost faith that Nintendo will produce anything noteworthy for WiiU if they don't have ANYTHING to show. hope im wrong.

holy cow

@Gerbwmu
i own 5 copies, and will buy again. Just to be sure.

I'm of the 2% that hasn't finished new game plus YET. Best indy game together with Guacamelee.

Legend of Kay Anniversary discount looks really tempting, nice to have a 3D platformer for a nice price

every event course is a good course. and Mario in a Mercedes might be a cash-thingy, it's still a fun looking costume. Thx Mercedes/Nintendo, will try it out tonight

Duke Nukem and L-shaped tetris block!!!!

im happy to see him stepping up. nintendo really was faceless for sometime after iwata's passing. like his vision on the wiiu, worlds most cult console EVER.

didn't read lol. planning on figuring all out myself and probably find out stuff for myself waaaaay too late. not to many games out there where that's even possible, so I'm cherrishing that feeling of exploration

Whoa. Bad timing with xcx! I only dislike hammerhead bridge, rest of the maps are great.love the dynamic element. Camp t3iggerfish also has this sudden new tactic at the minute mark which i really enjoy. Then again if ill get my new job ill probably wont be able to play much.....

Since it cannot be said enough: these "sales" are more expensive then regular retail prices.

Its internet: everyone wants to have an opinion and since you cant be personal, people pretend a lot and shout a lot. also, there are some really dumb people online, like, shockingly dumb. So i tend to not participate in review discussions and just enjoy the review as a text, not an advice or proof of something.

Only bad thing about this year is the low output. Wasnt interested in buying the tennis or the amiibo board game in the first place, so thats ok. Devils third is the only let down for me.

Looks like its made by a 14 year old, who bluffed his way into the eshop....

@shani 4guess i did. Will check that out. The trailer really doesnt speak to me for that exact reason...

I dont understand the comments here... no gameplay was shown. How can you guys possibly say anything about its looks?!

Since this isnt the ballot, duke nukem could still be in smash.

? Hahaha i'm sure levels relying on those glitches where very popular to begin with. Nice to know people cant chicken their way out of levels using that door glitch.

Super Metroid is one of the most fun games I played on the WiiU VC. Tried to finish it without any online help, which I did -eventually-. Later found out I was missing multiple upgrades, so I immediatly played it again. Love the way the player needs to find out everything for her-/himself. That makes is a very personal experience.

A moody, detailed classic that's aged very, very well IMO...

Octodad. Great that it's coming to WiiU finally.

I tend to not buy anything digital except VC's and some indies because

• I can't sell digital copies
• I cant buy secondhand digital copies
• I can't show people cases when choosing a game to play
• I Need to add stuff to my wiiU in order to make it work
• Digital isn't faster/safer to use at all (or at least not notable to me)
• Cant buy when not online/I prefer wandering around in a gameshop before buying.

And last but definitly not least,

• Digital games are, for reason's completely beyond me, MORE expensive than physical copies, even though you factually get less! god knows why, but it is)

I don't see any advantages to buying digital whatsoever except for VC's.

Weird that Nintendo hasn't got any releases at all anymore and now they also stop that one big catalogue that's seems so perfect for filling up these gaps.

no wiiU discounts? DIRECT INCOMING!

Don't get me wrong, I love reading articles and reviews on this site. Also, i found the hands-on article about Devil's Third insightful,

but
"Games journalism isn’t journalism. Games journalism is a neglected johnny-come-lately subset of entertainment journalism, which is also—with a few honorable exceptions—not journalism. Because entertainment journalism is a field where all of the money and all of the power lies in the hands of companies selling products, where the only thing to “cover” is the products being sold, where the target audience of the publication is defined by their pre-existing desire to purchase the product, and thus the border between advertising and “journalism” can’t help but be blurred." - Arthur Chu

So i gues both parties are getting a bit childish now. I'll just wait untill the game releases.

"Video games are meant to be just one thing. Fun. Fun for everyone!"

• Satoru Iwata

That quote, by the man who created Kirby, the wii, the DS, earthbound. He nailed it, lived by it, and inspired me with it.

Iwata-san, somehow, you're still around; Everyone can now just press start to have fun. I thank you for that.

@Dezzy
That would include me! Looking forward to this release, if it's not too expensive.

@rjejr
Yes, Devil's Third!

@JaxonH
hi jaxonH. Thx for your reply. You must have misread my post. Im not saying companies are doing this on purpose. Also, yes i DO think its a benefitial thing to do. Its not a conspiracy but a well known marketing strategy, nothing new, esspecially with collectibles. Those numbers also do t mean anything to me on their own. I'd need full financial insight to state anything about that, those arent publicly available.

Im glad to sense that you were able to find all amiibo's you sought.

They're Having so much problems with keeping up the current amiibo's and are Lying about not doing this on purpose. I mean, i believed them until they started repeating the exact same thing(which was 1 day later). I cannot believe a 125 year old game/toy company can't mass produce toys they invented themselves for more than 1 whole year. Sounds like an unreliable company to me.

Well, I won't buy early access games because I'm not an investor but a gamer. So i only pay money for full games, if I can check the content.

Just like I dont watch half-finished movies or read early drafts of books.

Great article. One cannot deny that some weird choices have been made by Nintendo regarding the marketing of the console. Star Fox for instance, looks like it's 10 years old! And there are still quite a number of people who dont know the difference between a wii and a wiiU. Then there is the 3rd party issue. such weird choices..

That being said, I still think the WiiU is the console I had the most fun with. I love the gamepad to play offscreen, and since I haven't had all Nintendo consoles, the VC is awesome and I've discovered some true gems there (Metroid series!). I hope Nintendo puts a lot of effort in releasing vc's and Indies on the WiiU if it's truly coming to an end.

My WiiU is faaaaaaaar from being replaced.

Never played any of the games, so I'm really excited to see some gameplay.

Wasn't expecting a Metroid, so not let down about THAT. The problem is that they release something that's obviously NOT a Metroid game, and then just state it is. Next they release an animal crossing game that not an actual AC game, next they release a Zelda game that is NOT an actual Zelda game.

Next, Reggie smiles at the camera and says how carefull they are about their IP's and shows us how Bowser and Donkey Kong are now Skylanders.

That's my problem. seems like Nintendo is selling out HARD and as a Nintendo fan I find that worrying.

So.... What are the EU WiiU & WiiU VC sales?

New Metroid, hopefully 2D. Hopefully more Indies that will still come to WiiU such as Ori and the Blind Forest, Octodad etc. New Mario (platform)games are always welcome though that seems unlikely, since Super Mario Maker basically is just that. Mk8DLC would also excite me. Devils Third, hopefully some weird surprise no one expected..

yeah, quite excited for their digital event...

Also, not a single non-American. That probably means that people outside the US are not interested in games as much or they all suck.

hmm too bad, i was hoping for non-random-anime characters to be added. I mean: Shulk (even the name sucks), marth, Ike, Lucina, Robin; nobody i play with even knows who they are, and they all look the same to me.

@theberrage
It never will, so best thing to do is write a letter to Nintendo asking it they can sell it to you for less or stop waiting.

@outburst My thoughts exactly, I dont think any weapon will have main/sub/special as usefull as the Splattershot Jr (in turf war that is).

Tip: match your gear! Some perks work great with some weapons but are useless on other weapons: walkingspeed on rollers, Damage on high RoF guns for example (damage ups per "bullet" so technically damageboost have more effect on high rate-of-fire weapons). The other way around won't have as much impact.
Also: paintbrush + opening gambit + messaging "follow me" = insane in ranked mode. Or at least using each others ink to be speedier.

@KillScottKill
I dont like being told to screw off. Knowing it comes from someone who buy a game twice because he wants his doll makes it less hurtfull though. Knowing it comes from someone who gave money away without ANY garantee what will happen to the product OR the money, makes it even a little funny.

You should be happy, because you're getting a game twice for only double the price!

@KillScottKill
You (assuming you've backed up the game) havent made "it happen". you just paid someone elses marketing campain. Also, you choose to buy something twice, your not entitled to it, read Kickstarters rules for more info about that. I only pay for things that actually exist, Or i would be an investor who actually DOES have something to say about the game instead of just throwing money at random people like kickstarter projects.

@outburst
You do know that you cannot use your MP gear in campain and that finishing the campain unlocks weapons you CAN use in MP? Best to finish the campain early so you have better gear in MP.

Nice. Looking forward to it, first it needs to be released though... so not hyped yet

Hey, we just spend 4 years on this game , so better make sure to price those 4 years instead of what a consumer is actually willing to pay...

Yeah of course that goes wrong, no one to blame but yourself. Blaming consumers is just BS. Get your business strategy straight and make something worth the consumers money instead of whining about "the industry".

Example:
2 Indie games like S&S2 (digital, so no trading/returning/lending/showing off/selling/no quality garantee) or 1 Nintendogame (will have a good reselling price, different sellers, so competition --> better prices, will sell fast/ slim chance of you actually wanting to sell it)? How does it NOT make sense that your game will sell bad?!

Bought pt.1 for 3 euros, was too expensive, since it played as a random flash-game. I wish them luck selling a flash game for that price.....

uhhhh, so its a GBA clone thats more expensive than an actual GBA?

Hmmm, doesn´t look that interested yet. Still, i'm interested in colorful 3d platformers, but only when i can see something like a finished game, right now I cant see much to get excited about.

great addition, got 4 cups on 3star level now, so once you get the hang of it, it definitly possible. Whoever said braking is not necesary has not tried a cup other then the mushroom cup.

@Kaze_Memaryu
I like how you call one of the most critically acclaimed DLC's "a complete trainwreck" and are "fully aware" you're offending people, but are still "disappointed" that people do this on a forum that reminds you "an awful lot of DA".

As cherry on the cake, your "self-knowledge on how you to express critical thoughts and are not willing to change" must make it a wonderful experience to post anyway!

Sad to hear you don't like the DLC hehehe. No seriously.
