Re: The Legend of Zelda for Wii U No Longer Set for 2015 Release

@JaxonH yeah I know I just would not be surprised if an end of 2016 release for the new system, plus gamecube got alot more third party games where Nintendo gets a lot of money, and in the UK gamecube was 2002 till 2006 and the last year had sod all games so having no to little wii u games could be on the cards next year.

@Scizor711 dunno Nx could come next year both ps4 and xbox1 were announced and released in the same year, and wii u will be 4 next year around about the life span of Nintendo consoles well short by one year but sales have been bad, plus we haven't heard sod all about teams like retro or anyone making big games after the second half of this year making some believe they have moved most teams to the new hardware

Re: Reaction: The Nintendo 'NX', and Why We Think a Unified Platform is the Future

SPEtheridge

They won't have two device's, I think we will still get a hand held and a home console, power is just not there for mobile tech yet, what you will probably get is the two systems running on scalable hardware using the same or similar architecture, where the same tools can be used to make the home console version and scale it down to the portable without having to change assets and code between versions.

Re: Poll: Which 2015 Nintendo Blockbusters Should Have amiibo Support?

SPEtheridge

They should just work with one game really one sort of like the sky landers, yeah it's nice to have a little extra but the figures are so pointless atm it's not even worth having them unless you collect them as figures every game to use them atm it's pointless rubbish, they need to make a game that's all about the figures

Re: Shovel Knight is Getting a Cross-Buy Discount in Europe

Just Wii U for me really looking forward to it but not going to pay twice for something, I think all platform owners should have it that if it's on two of your systems and has not been radically changed or improved then you shouldn't really pay twice, I mean people would flip if you had to pay for apps on your phone again if you went from a galaxy s4 to an s5

Re: Talking Point: Sony's PlayStation 4 Poses a Fresh Challenge for Wii U in the 2013 Holidays

SPEtheridge

If PS4 comes in at the rumored £300/£350 then Wii U may suffer big time, but hopefully if Sony do announce a price like that Nintendo will lower its price to something a little more sensible like £200 or a £250 bundle pack with Mario Kart or whatever the big holiday release is at the time, at the moment though Wii U needs games and its such a shame that Nintendo didn't have any big games ready to ship for the first year (Yes Pikmin is great but no system seller) which is a massive oversight, they could have used this one year head start, but the lack of games is killing sales.

Re: Rumour: Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Is Coming To The Wii U

SPEtheridge

I don' think this will come to Wii U, I'd like it too just don't see it happening, people have asked Ubi and they just say we have nothing to announce about Wii U which I could see being a no in the long run but here's hoping, the whole hacker premise of the game would be quite cool when's there's a certain gamepad involved.

Re: Nintendo Reveals Plans For Wii U Virtual Console

SPEtheridge

I would have expected the GBA VC to be on 3DS first though hopefully it does, for some reason never been into playing my portable games on the TV, never got the GB player and such good to see won't have to pay much for the Wii U upgrade though, oh and please Nintendo when it comes to the N64 get some more games up, DK64, Turok 1&2, Mischief Makers, Wetrix, are a few i'd like to see.

Re: The Big Wii U Survey

SPEtheridge

@Rapadash6
totally agree there, i love the wii u my mate has one and i've really enjoyed it, but have yet to buy one for this reason have no clue what or when 1st party titles will be out and some of the biggest games this year are missing the wii u such as bioshock and gta 5, which is a real shame.

Re: Wii U Games Struggling At Retail In The UK

SPEtheridge

Price i think is the major issue, mass effect 3 for £45 when i can get all three on ps3 or 360 for £35 or £40, they need to be the same price they have no real need to be that price, and tbh there's really nothing note worthy on the system yet either old ports or un intresting nintendo games yeah mario bros u is good, but the casual buyer will just think its a minor update to the wii original.

Re: Wii Owners: Microsoft Wants You To Buy The Xbox 360 This Holiday Season

SPEtheridge

@SonicMario @SonicMario
They both have advantages the 360 has a lot more games, nearly all the Wii U third party line up, the games and console are at a cheaper price too, don't get me wrong the Wii U has pontentiel with games such as Zombi U and a few others, the 360 is a great console and i have faith that the Wii U will be as well but at this moment in time other than Zombie U and Mario the 360 has all the other games plus great ones such as Dishonored, Hitman, XCOM, and Bioshock next year, also the PS3 is a great choice as well, at the end of the day it comes down to what you love i have always liked my Nintendo's over the competition but that doesn't mean the others are bad, but what ever people choose this holiday everyone's in for a great time.
