Ricube

@AlexSora89 Ciao a tutti! Hi to everyone!

@Randomname19 Me too...

So, is Sonic becoming a Nintendo Mascot? For anyone ho was playing in the '90 it's weird to see that Sega has become Nintendo's greatest friend. Therw was a time when they where great rivals. This game looks really good, it reminds me of Sonic Advebtures 2 Battle on the Gamecube...

I didn't read the condition to be eligible for the discounted price... I just thought it was a normal discount. If I download one of the games for full price will I still be eligible or am I too late?

I think I already know the answer... should pay more attention in the future...

@XCWarrior same opinion here. You can only understand it when you try it. For me even the use of the gamepad in Zelda TWW was fantastic, switching items on the go and especially looking at the map while sailing! Even with this basic use it improves the experience. They just need to push the gamepad and touchscreen features when they make a big game that sells. Maybe create mario kart circuits by drawing or some special attacks items.

Wasn't there a post some days ago that Spin the Bottle owners get a free DLC when it comes out in February? I really think it's time to get that little funny party game...

It's sad that Nintendo's only "weapon" against XBO and PS4 is Super Mario 3D World. It's a great game, but the problem on the WiiU is that there are not enough games to cover all genres. I would not get Sony's or Microsoft's console because instead I'll rather buy a PC where, thanks to Steam, there are almost all great 3rd party games at lower prices and running on a much more powerful, upgradable machine. So the weakpoints, in my opinion, are that N's first parties can't cover all the needs of a gamer and the other two consoles are way too similar to a PC, that's why I think that int the future, and with the perspective of a Steam machine, console's and PCs are going to merge into an hybrid. Nintendo is doing the right thing as long as they focus on their strenghts: make great games and great consoles for those games. Nintendo needs to continue making toys (instead of super-technological stuff), because toys are always fun to play with!

I would like to be optimistic, but I don't think that Mario can do it alone. Hope Nintendo advertises even Wii Fit U and Wii Sports Club (without the U, to make things easier)

The only AC game I really enjoyed was AC II, maybe because I live next to Venice and that city has not really changed... Now I can't think of the game when I go there and try to climb some buildings I also played AC III on WiiU but all the wilderness was kind of boring after a while. For myself I would appreciate a new AC game that plays in cities

@Kodeen Actually AC3 does not support a 3D mode for 3D TV, it just duplicate the image in green and red so you need cheap plastic glasses. Processing power is not involved in that game. But from his statement it seems that WiiU supports a 3D output for "real" 3D, 'cause I think the GPU needs to support that mode. If they make 3D games I'm going to get a 3D TV!

Why not: Red Steel 3 for WiiU

@JimLad I have the same feeling... sadly...

I see that the problem with low commercials is anywhere, not only here in Italy. In one year I have NEVER seen a WiiU commercial and only tonight I've seen more than one ps3/4 and xb360/1. Even an arkham origins trailer not mentioning the WiiU version... In stores the WiiU and it's games are hidden in a corner and a lot of internet shops still have wiiu games in the Wii section. Even amazon.it had no WiiU section until a few months ago!

@Cohort There is a WiiU section in the amazon.co.uk page but they put this in the Wii section... non wonder it's selling (in preorders) better than old Wii games...

I downloaded Steamworld Dig yesterday. It really is a simple but engaging, fun and clever game and I recommend it to everyone.
I live in Europe and don't really understand why on the eShop Nintendo charges the USD price in EURO equivalent. I mean, this game costs 7.19 € that are 9.82 $ by current change rate. I see why it happens with retail games, but even digital downloads? That's kind of unfair...

@ICHIkatakuri It sure is, you are rigth. But it's always in a time when the world has been rebuild and a new menace is coming. Maybe twilight princess plays in something like a "dark age", or the future in Ocarina of Time (with the destroyed buildings in Hyrule, and the zombie-like creatures), or the dark realm in A link to the past. I would like to play in a destroyed world, were Evil has won. As I said, i was thinking about a game not made by Nintendo, kind of a spin-off from the Zelda series. Maybe with Tingle smashing giant monsters with a large sword

Ha! Anyway, I'm sure I will love the new Zelda made by Anouma and hope the maintain the high quality. But I was serious when I said some other producer could make a more sci-fi zelda (like Retro or platinum).

Oh! And Nintendo should let Platinum Games make a post-apocaliptic futuristic steampunk action game. Zelda should be playable and all weapons have a futuristic look. There still should be a lot of exploration and the usual sound when opening treasure chests. AND he might meet Samus in a space level and team up with her!
And a semi-mechanical Epona that has rockets and can fly!

@Wonder_Mask Yeah maybe an island like in Link's Awakening, with a lot of sidequests and non story dungeons to explore! They could even do some dream sections where everything could happen, like... in a dream! (kind of a dark realm in A Link to the Past or shadow realm in Twilight Princess).
I also love the non linear dungeons and items you can buy right from the start they are making for A Link Between Worlds, hope they bring it over to the WiiU Zelda

I didn't know that Woodrooffe is creative director at Rare. Maybe you can hear the sound of a child's dreams shattering to pieces. I mean, the first two Simon the Sorcerer were so amazing and my first adventure games! I can't believe this guy is still in business now working for M$. Such a wasted talent. He should go away from Rare and start his own company, a lot of people my age and older would support for example a Kickstarter game from this guy.

@ToxieDogg I also have one but ever played with it... it came out too late and was actually a gimmick only for collectors. It looks like a little jewel!

@Freakazoid Ich bin zur haelfte auch deutsch. I've got 3 figurines from mcDonalds and even here Nintendo characters are beloved as anywhere. The thing is people just doesn't know about the WiiU. Anyway Nintendo sure has a stronger presence in Germany than in Italy. Until the Gamecube game's wheren't even localised in italian language.

I live in Italy and i'we never seen any kind of commercial here... In stores I alwaye see wiiU games in the most hidden corner in the wii shelf...

He is so expressive in those screenshots! And he shows different contextual emotions, like in WW. Anyway thry should even do a young link that can use the deku, goron and zora masks from Majora's Mask!

@sleepinglion Right! They do that with wii sports why non with VC games?

@ungibbed Just buy the real book. It's well made, beautiful and you can find it pretty cheap on Amazon

@sackferret On the box the name is like the original. The Legend of Zelda the wind waker with an HD at the end.

@SuperPeach That was also my thought! A faster (and blue) Mario Galaxy! I like it!

I would, I also signed the petition on change.org even if I'm not really a fan of the series. Still I think it's a game with a high value and... well... if someone doesn't like it for all the right reasons he might have, he doesn't have to buy it.
Anyway, even on this site this game moves a lot of opinions and I think that means people are really interested in it!

@rjejr Oh yeah... that was sooo boring, except for the picture of the shrine

I made a topic on the forum for this. As others said, it's always sad to see a new (or remastered) game not coming to WiiU...

@Fingeldor Except for the sarcastic "better than wii 1" (really funny) This would have worked a lot better. Even in stores the put wii and wiiU games together in the same corner, and maybe a sign on the shelf that says "WiiU games are NOT compatible with the Wii". I always thought, before they showed the new console, that Wii two (read Wii Too) would have been the best name. Look at the Playstation...

@Emblem You are not alone, there are others who had a Dreamcast, it's difficult to find them, but they really existed!

This really reminds me of the days when a went to a friend's home ho had a PC (386) and this game... a 2 players game. We always failed at the 6th level or so... Believe me that in my memories it had much better graphics than this one. Anyway this would be very cool and I would absolutely love to buy a remake of a classic beat 'em up (I feel kind of old writing posts like this...)

Reminds me of Cannon Spike on my old Dreamcast... ahhh... nice memories...

@triforcepower73 Maybe you don't play them either or you should know why your statement is not correct. Maybe they have a similar style, but I've never heard someone complaining about, let's say, SM galaxy 2 because they've played a SMG a lot. And this one is a sequel on a different console, so if you liked SM 3D Land I think you should make a gift yourself with this one. Anyway that is what I am going to do.

Right! Now Nintendo should fund them and collaborate to make a 90 min movie. Anyway, it's a fan film but they were trying to make money from something they don't own the rights of

"...talk over their next moves in Italian". Well, actually they don't really speak italian... Just wanted to say that...

I'm just disappointed because on my WiiU I'm going to play a lot of really good 2D platform games, but no really good 3D exploration/shooter game for a long time. I mean: i really like 2D games, but the WiiU almost looks like a more powerful Snes with all those 2D games, look at the eshop games. They sure are great, but a lot of genres are not covered

I'm sure this game will be awesome, i'm sure all games shown are going to be awesome... but I missed a real NEW game at this E3, they all may be improved, but they are still only sequels. This time Nintendo played it safe, maybe because of the WiiU's sales. Anyway, I'm really sad if we are going to wait 3 or 4 years more to see a new RETRO game... Nothing against 2D platformers, but in recent times I've played too many of them.

@Funny_Moblin Conquer is a game for N64 released in 2001. The remade it for the first xbox. A donkey kong racing game (think you meant diddy kong racing for N64) is unlikely because donkey kong is property of Nintendo

I remember that a lot of talented people left rareware when it was acquired by MS and founded free radical studio (or something like that). They made the three Timesplitters (I loved the second one on gamecube, it was kind of a spiritual successor to goldeneye). Anyway, the best thing Rare made until then was the HD remake of Perfect Dark and nothing else like their games fir the N64. Maybe Nintendo saw that coming, when they didn't buy the company. I'm not really jealous, but if they make a really good perfect dark - banjo kazooie - conquer game I may think about getting a xbox one, but I can't see that coming...

@brandonbwii I also think he was honest. Finally someone from EA said what they wanted to say! Not really smart, but honest.

Someone remember Mickey's raceway USA? That was a good game for the N64...

Ok... now... when do they announce what RETRO is working on?

@NintendoPro64 I live in Italy and I've NEVER seen a TV ad or anything else to promote the WiiU. In stores it is also hold in the last corner... They really need a strong marketing, maybe they'll do it when the games are out...

@Midnight3DS That's exacly my point.

@darkgamer001 I really hope The wonderful 101 will be a new blasting IP. Anyway, even with really great IP's like perfect dark (my all time favourite game), banjo kazooie, conquer and other from rareware, in the N64 era, the N64 didn't sold as much as. Ps1 or ps2. And, about that, we should not forget that the wii sold a lot because it was easily hackable...

@bunnyking that's bad... Gamecube had a lot of really good games. Now you can get them really cheap and I think they are worth it!

@bizcuthammer I know a lot of people who bought a Wii to play wii sports or wii fit and then tried for the first time other games. Let's not forget that a lot of consoles are sold as a gift for kids, aka future players. In the same way Wii made a lot of people who never played start playing. I have non numbers about that, but I think even MS and Sony gain a lot from so called casual gamers. I think they should, even if we are not going to love that, Nintendo should publish wii fit U and wii sports U or something similar, to get a larger install base. Then we are going to see a lot of 3rd parties go to Nintendo. Large publishers today are no more interested in making appealing games (not saying they are not good, there are a lot) but in numbers 'cause investments need to be higher and higher and they need money, immediatly.
