i never bothered with xbox one or ps4 there just isnt enough jump in gen from previous machines i couldnt justify paying out for 2 new machines that dont have anything different on them to play at launch. i bought super mario 3d world on friday and its not been off since. i will likely opt on the ps4 and xbox one train once they bring something new to the table. people are already trading in xbox one and ps4 games so to me that isnt good that means they still dont offer any replay value whatsoever.
i was at the same checkout as everyone buying the ps4 on friday and i was alot happier with my super mario 3d world its one of the best games this decade
didnt anyone notice that when you finish the game it kinda seems unfinished and feels like its got more of a story to tell on on wii-u , ps3 and 360 and leaves you left a bit empty. apon popping the origins game in my 3ds the story started right from where the console game ended. so nintendo did get the love cuz its th only way to see what happens next on 3ds.
id just like to point out regarding sub par ports. .. call of duty ghosts on ps4 is the worst version with a 1080 resolution that the system just can not handle with frame rates dropping to 15 fps during the single player game when things get hairy
they fail to grasp that the game isnt a must buy on any console in any version. its no where near as good as arkam asylum or city and the mutiplayer is forgettable. buy deus ex human revolution directors cut and enjoy one of the best games released in the last 5 years
@C-Olimar 12. but this has been capped on all current consoles probly due to activision providing most of its dedicated servers to xbox 1 and ps4. on the plus side the wii-u's performance is better than the ps4 as the ps4 is struggling to handle the 1080 resolution with 60 fps consistancy. on some major scripted events the ps4 version drops below 15 fps.
most of the games difficulty flaws with controls etc can be overcome with patience. does anyone know any small children who can complete sonic all star racing transformed onhard difficulty. its punishing beyond belief. my toddler almost smasshed the gamepad through tv
i personally am very interested in getting the 2ds now i am quite fond of this new design and im one of the people who cant use the 3d feature of the 3ds for more than ten minutes without getting a migraine
3d is a fad that comes back to haunt us every ten years. it hangs around for 2 to 3 years and then drops off the face of the earth. we are almost into our last year of its current cycle. no one will care about 3d until 2023. 2ds is nintendos time to break away from the current fad
i like horses and hopefully when rockstar bring out the undead nightmare add-on to gta online ill be able to go horseback around los santos just like rick in the walking dead
this game is destined to become one of those games like earthbound that no one buys and ends up in a bargain bin for $1 or £2 english pound. it will then become collectable and hard to find in years to come and you will end up having to remortgage your house to buy a copy on Ebay
@TechnoEA in 15 days ps3 owners and xbox 360 owners will stop buying rayman legends as this decades most awaited game GTA 5 is released. the wii-u will still dominate in sales for rayman legends.
on the ps3 and 360 the touch screen wii-u exclusive stages have been replaced by a computer ai that you activate with one button. this ai sucks and doesnt always react or go where you wish it would and thus you die. wii-u all the way.
this could well be a lie but someone i know who was at gamescon was speaking to someone from nintendo over a few drinks and he was in mid sentence saying they were developing super mario g before his boss cracked him accross the head with a back hander telling him to shut up
@bassoongoon nfs most wanted is better on wii-u than on a top end pc. nfs most wanted on ps3 flopped so bad they are giving it away to psn+ subscribers. i downloaded it just cuz it was there and quickly uninstalled and went back to my wii-u version.
the app will be free will have some nice beta features and will give people a chance to try before they buy or just keep using the free version. the full version will release later for a fee which you can opt into if you wish to for enhanced features.
dont see the big deal. dont see the point of multiplayer for this game anyways. if i was getting this for the xbox or ps3 id not be bothering with the multiplayer anyways. but let me play the full game on the gamepad and im happy
im happy with my wii-u shop purchase and to be honest like my wii-u more than my 360 and ps3. i guess i just love the fact that nintendo games are timeless
just a heads up any seller who advertises earthbound as NEW and Sealed is actually selling a cartridge in a fake reproduced box. theres a company on ebay manufactures laser printed boxes for the game. they look real but are not. the company is selling empty boxes for $59.95. you can also buy a resealer that factory seals the box so it looks the real deal. obviously two fake new ones on amazon for $6000. theres no way someone got hold of a brand new copy and never opened it. they didnt even make massive amounts on its original release and never even bothered releasing the game in Europe.
this game sold last week on amazon Uk for £1200 and now theres none left. You can currently get one on ebay thats got bids currently sat at £700 and item has 6 days left
do people realise HOW MUCH EARTHBOUND is to buy on the SNES on Ebay and Amazon. up to £1000 i kid you not. Earthbound for £6.99. Take my Money Nintendo my body is ready
nintendo dont seem to realise that a lot of the market just want to be able to play the current new release games on every format and be able to choose. it might seem stupid to release xbox 360 and ps3 titles on the wii-u but if the titles were there for us to choose to purchase we would probly buy the wii-u since it would have its 1st party games and all the normal 3rd party games on the other consoles aswel. tomb raider, hitman absolution, metal gear revengence, gta 5 , battlefield 4, need for speed , dead island riptide, bioshock infinite. there is no technical limitations stopping any of these working on the wii-u its the lazy developers dont want to do any extra work.
just for any one out there including trolls heres some info. wii games play on wii-u. so if you want to play fifa 14 on the wii-u just buy it for the wii. the graphics engine hasnt changed in about 7 years and still looks gash on ps3.
how is it stupid releasing great games to another nintendo console instead of waiting till next year to build reputation back. i just meant they have great 3ds games and are obviously putting everything they have into the 3ds when their wii-u is struggling and losing potential customers here there and everywhere. if new leaf was on wii-u aswel it would sell wii-u consoles
the UK is the worst place for R4 cards. it is often mobile phone shops that sell them near us and before gamestation went bust they used to sell them at our branch. out door open markets usually get away with selling them. usually you will find stalls that sell blank dvds, cds and blu-rays will also be selling the cards. Nintendo should work with local trading standards to get them removed.
i love nintendo and all but its censoring of the miiverse communities is quite laughable at times. why should kids be playing zombi-u and call of duty black ops 2 when both games are rated 18 for adults. ok so all kids play 18 rated games, always have always will. so why censor what i draw or write in a community that actively lets kids play the 18 rated games that feature the same type of content.
