@A01 oops... Me too, that is why I have veen reading the ews again anda again without getting the Star Wars reference. Still, he's an actor, as it seems, so... Isn't that his Job?
I also liked the game, and after some time of getting used to it, the controls give a great immersive feeling. My greatest complain are actually... The Boss Fights! I know they got lots of praise, but I really didn't like them. They were all ver similar in the scheme: Shoot weak point, avoid attack, shoot again and there are non on rail boss fights like the ones I enjoyed more in SF64. And the biggest disappointment was the final boss, especially because -SPOILER- of the missing "true" ending...
@AlexSora89 I hope you mean downloadable demos, because... https://www.facebook.com/NintendoItalia/posts/1038672209579614:0 They say they will be there in an "alternative way", without demo stations or anything... Just... people standing and... I don't know what they will be doing there...
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm just trying to lower expectations because I don't want to be disappointed, in the end. My only wish is that BG&E will come out on NX, I don't really care if it's exclusive (even if it would be a nice fan service). I see your points, but except from speculations we have absolutely nothing. And I've learned that rumors are very often untrue, even more in case of positive rumors.
I really don't think it will be a NX exclusive, especially from the picture before, in the post he thanks Ubisoft, not Nintendo. They could still make a ZombieU, but investors will not be amazed by an exclusive game for a console nobody knows anything about and from the company that has, in this moment, a failed console. (I love my WiiU, as I still love my Dreamcast, but they are both commercial failures)
I already finished this... I liked it and being free (i mean you don't use real money for it) is nice. Stille. Lots of puzzles where repeated in different modes and that made it a little boring, in the end...
I guess they will reveal it after the WiiU's swansong (or last nail) that is Paper Mario... So my guess is within the first half of October. With these shorter times they seem to try a different marketing model, more Apple like.
I still have lots of demoes installed in my WiiU and 3ds. I sometimes even play them. There are some of them that made me absolutely buy the game, like The Wonderful 101 or Bayonetta 2. The thing for me is that a demo can make me want to buy the game the moment I play it, because I really feel it works for me. It's like a test, in the end. For example I would really like to have a Xenoblade X demo because I'm still not sure I would like that game, there are more reasons to not got it, but a good demo could change my mind, even just making me try the combat system. Other demo versions, especially for cheaper e-shop only games made me buy the full game, I remember Trine 2, for example, and others. In this case I don't know... Blast ball is better and more fun than I expected, but I'ts not like it is giving me a taste of Federation Force. Gameplay videos make me think of a more action and less exploration focused game and the worst parts In Metroid Prime games are, for me, the action sequences.
There are a lot of bad games with decent trailers, this one has a really ugly trailer, so i'm not really sure it's going to be something interesting...
I might finally get Splatoon, my only trouble is the bad internet connection I have at home, it's also a big trouble playing Smash Bros because my upload speed is really bad. I highly recommend Nova-111, it's a great and challenging action puzzler. Layton and the eternal diva should also be a game Too bad it's only 3DS, because it could get boring watching it on that screen (low res). You can even find it on youtube in japanese...
As always, modesty is the greatest quality of this team... They just need to male some good games, then they should talk again, not that DT isn't good, but they need a Little more effort. Wish them good luck, but i'm skeptical if they don't change their attitude...
@Kirk that game is from a developer calle MixedBag. They are already developing forza.8 For Wii U, a game that was also in the E3 demos but isn't out yet. I wonder what happened to it? And why did they announce a porting of Futuridium? Both games are pretty old by the time they'll be released, so I don't really understand why it takes so long.. Anyway you can find a free version of this game, Futuridium, for PC and Mac on their website.
...and then you think about how People reacted when Samus got a voice. I enjoyed Other M, but the character changed and lost personality when trying to give her one. From Wind Waker on they worked a lot on Face expressions for Link, in 3D games and that is the right choice, continue that way. I usually have also subtitles when playing games with voice acting and I often skip the talking because I read faster than the characters speak, I also think dialogues in games are often far too long and boring...
Please Nintendo, stop timelining and give us a date or at least some information about Zelda WiiU! From what Anouma once said, that they are taking inspiration from Hyrule Warriors, having fights going on even when the player is not there and a land of hyrule that looks not very populated, I guess the new game will tell the story of the war in Hyrule that ended with the goddess creating skyloft... It would be great to be in a Zelda world where NCP's are more actively involved!
@Sabrewing They should make a game that you can use with both gamepad and wiimote for a more immersive experience. And HD graphics should give this kind of game a great push!
I don't think they are bad as developers, they only have a bad marketing and a strange development schedule. I mean: People have been waiting for Treasurenauts for years, in the meantime they made 2 remastered. I would gladly buy moon chronicles and dementium but... I live in Europe. By the time it comes out here I'll probably forget about it.

@Xilef As the first comment said, Project C.A.R.S. did the same. The thing is, they never really planned to do a WiiU version, if they are pushing it for a later release after the other consoles. That is like saying: "first we are going to do the other versions and invest in them, if we make enough money and still have time, we're going to do the WiiU version". He said: "We’re using Physically Based Rendering and other rendering technologies that don’t really run well on WiiU", so what? You didn't knew that before? I was actually interested in this, as I loved the two games it takes inspiration from, but I'm like 90% sure it's not going to happen.
Why did no one mention the new Metroid Prime? Oh... Right... I'm sorry... Still, they'll probably show something more to better the bad image of this game that many felt as a disappointment, not because it was really as bad, because it seemed like good fun, but because it wasn't the Metroid game people expected... Still could be refined. Anyways, they already said that there are still games that have not been announced yet and there still is project guard, somewhere... Right?
@alkteriosgames Thank you very much for your response. It means that you really care about people appreciating your game. I was unlucky because it seems that all download codes has already been used, but I will follow your work because i actually like original games that can make you play in different ways. We'll see..
@chiefeagle02 I played it a lot but never reached all endings. It would be a great game for the WiiU, using the stylus and gamepad screen, better than a mouse on PC. "Papers Please" is really addictive, considering how simple it is, and you get in some kind of depressing mood. I love it.
I recommend Stealth Inc. For that price! A really Smart and interesting game, it should deserve more custom stages online, some of them are really engaging. Maybe I'll get The Swapper
Most of the games have framerate issues... I tried them all and i absolutely LOVE Typoman... it's a little bit like Limbo but with more interesting word puzzles!
I would like to see a game similar to the Gamecube Star Wars games (rogue squadron). Maybe split into episodes that would explain the sgort development time. Anyway, after playing a lot of starfox 3# (still the most favourite starfox, as it seems) i think I'll get this new WiiU game!
@PanurgeJr
"I'll have plenty to play when the only new games being made are Grand Theft Auto 37, Assassin's Creed Get Off My Lawn, VilleVille, and Runny Jump"
This was so funny! And sad at the same time...
@Nico07 What I meant is just that after playing the Sonic demo I thought it might be fun, but after playing the full game I realized that it's not a good game and Sonic absolutely deserves better. Anyway, it's just my opinion. Maybe I'm just becoming older and the my gaming habits are changing...
