Sensible

Wii Fit U is okay as a method of tracking your weight.

But anybody that honestly thinks that doing the exercises in front of a TV is going to make them fitter needs to buy a copy of Brain Training in order to make themselves a bit smarter.

Not much for me this week then.

Get in! Delighted about this!!!

@TreesenHauser "And yet they didn't say a word when they were pushing out worthless junk like Madden 09 All-Play (which was actually kinda fun)"

YEAH

The feeling is mutual EA. I don't really think there are too many real Nintendo fans worried about your departure.

Mass Effect 3 was a slap in the face, when other consoles were all receiving Mass Effect Trilogy at the same time.

And it wasn't a solid effort. It didn't run as well as the PS3/Xbox versions.

No love lost.

@Shiryu lol, no worries, my friend count is currently sitting on 2!

@Shiryu I feel exactly the same about this matter. We should become Wii U friends!!

Prediction: A Nintendo Direct will hopefully be coming soon to Europe, which will shed light on this matter.

I would say they will have it out within the next two weeks, in the other territories.

I cannot wait for this!!!

@SecondServing Geist isn't fit to hold a candle to the majesty of Chibi Robo for Gamecube.

@Sanquine I have all the consoles in my possession. Dont own an Xbox one of my own, but one of the folks that live with has one.
I have PS4, 2 x PS3, 2 x Xbox, Vita etc. Mainly a Nintendo gamer/fanboy.
I'm talking about the general crowd. The people who buy the majority of consoles.

I own the Uncharted games and the Last Guardian will be got.

You should feel stupid for saying "didn't bought" a 3DS

@Gerbwmu it is really news. Whatever way you look at it, the site is called Nintendo Life.

How can a Nintendo news site, not report on News that comes from Nintendo themselves?

I will be the first to agree that this site does have some fecal articles.

But this article is totally valid, it would be an omission not to report on it.

I guess in my eyes Nintendo consoles still have many many "must have" games.

However, when compared to the results of the PS4 and Xbox one, fickle people these days (Who I consider to be NON-HARDCORE gamers) actually are more concerned about owning the next "must have" console rather than focusing on what software is good.

A poopiedoodoocacapoopledoople game with good graphics is more likely to be purchased in the UK, than an actually good game.

Most people that own consoles know very very little about games.

NINTENDO STILL NEED TO SORT OUT THE ACCOUNT SYSTEM.
_{Please watch the profanity — TBD}

Personally couldnt give a toss about it. I wish they would just do an update that removed the icon from the home screen.

I didn't buy a TV AND console in order to watch the TV.

@King47 do not worry.

Believe me mate. It ain't that good.

It got attention because Nintendo published it. Also, if you have read about the game it spoils the hell out of it. Because the insanity effects are so widely documented, you just sit infront of the TV waiting for them to happen. YAWNFEST.

@King47 PAL

Eternal Darkness was good. But I really never got what ALL THE FUSS was about.

I didn't consider it a standout title. It simply wasn't as good as the Resident Evil games. It got too much attention simply because of the insanity effects.

Which, in my opinion only ended up making the game seem stupid.

I still have my copy, I'd be willing to sell. I can't see me ever revisiting it.
And I don't consider it enough of a classic to make it worth keeping. I can't see my offspring ever playing it in the future, for example.

I'll swap it for a copy of The Twin Snakes if anyone is interested / foolish enough.

It's in mint condition.

@A01 GET A PS4. Enjoy your life.

I'm well aware of what they want me to do...

I usually do it. But it's getting a bit frustrating!!

It further negates any possibility of cross system retro purchases.

And they have previously been discussing having Game Boy advance titles on wii u! That will also come out no doubt.

Honestly, this is great and all....

I love SMB3.

BUT, WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T THEY BROUGHT OUT THE GAME BOY ADVANCE / MARIO ALLSTARS VERSION WITH THE BETTER GRAPHICS?

RIP OFF!!!!

Wow! I think this is really, REALLY cool!!!

It was such a pleasant surprise to see those communities yesterday, made me dig out some of the older games in order to do a bit of bragging. Really getting into this Miiverse!

Great addition!!

@Epicnessofme99 nobody should be suprised. Nintendo announced nothing really. And all these daft websites reported on it.

They should just talk about release dates once they are known.

@rjejr good luck with gerjinga

@MAB you finished it then?

about TIME!!!

LOL!

@Xtremetdifan some daft parents will buy it, because their child likes playing it on their tablet.

Reel them in!!!

@jedisquidward regardless, it's still a piss poor beat em up then.

To be honest, even though the Game Boy was amazing (faultless for it's time)

Every handheld Nintendo have released since, have lived up to the legacy of the Game Boy.

Nintendo's handheld games and products have always been untouchable by the opposition!

BRAVO NINTENDO!!

PSP has good games, if you were using it to emulate Nintendo games.

Seems to be working... got 10 at lunch time in Belfast!

@Jayvir exactly... As long as Nintendp don't go to other platforms, or stop altogether, then I'm happy!

It won't change frame rate issues, may load slightly quicker.

(Talking fractions of seconds here though)

@Mallard I for one can see the difference, but don't really mind if as long as I get a solid 30 or very close to it.

This game doesn't even do 30 frames, so your comment is irrelevant.

@ricklongo are ea gay?

So basically Nintendo have once again left me in the dark wondering what the hell to do.

Im gonna wait for the packaged version methinks.

God, Nintendo are continuously making stupid announcements these days!

@readypembroke get yourself a Playstation then or Xbox.

I don't really care about any of the games you mentioned. Especially not on Nintendo consoles.

You love EA!!!!

Can someone tell me where I can vote in this poll?

I'd love to sink the boot in EA as hard as possible, they are getting my vote for sure....

Mind you with Nintendo's ballocks policies at the moment, NOA might come into the poll!!

@bezerker99 tell me the dozen better Wii U games please. That are $30 or less from the online store.

Im moving to Sony. My favorite thing about the 3ds was grooming children. Now they have removed it. Theres no point.

@JaxonH they are a platforming culture, don't you feel a tad "oxymoronic?"

Why would I comment on the gameplay of a game I hadn't played?

@JaxonH yeah mate, same as the way I mustn't have played ZombiU, because I thought it wasn't much good.

@Mommar how does a gamer become elitest? I am keen to know...

Is an elitest gamer someone who plays good games?

I guess a true gamer such as yourself likes the occasional poor game thrown in for good measure, helps you to "keep it real" against us elitests.

@ducktrapper thanks for not going down my throat. It's a good enough game. Not totally deserving of it's extremely high scores.

It kept the guys in my house who don't usually play games out of trouble for a while

But then FIFA came out and they stopped playing it. (They are obviously elitests)

@Mommar as stated earlier I own/have completed Rayman Legends. I can post it to Miiverse if it would be pleasing to you.

Maybe you would regard such a move as Elitest?

You will clearly see the little ticked box at the bottom of the comment which will suggest that I do indeed own the game.

@Geonjaha you are obviously too young to understand the definition of what a platform game is.
I'm guessing you miss Spyro and Crash.

"Games where jumping is automated completely, such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, fall outside of the genre."

A lot of the jumping in Rayman occurs automatically when you move the platforms with the touch screen. This is not platforming.

@Geonjaha the fact of the matter is that I am simply justifying the fact that Rayman Legends didn't sell well.
Why would someone be expecting people to buy another platformer on the Wii U and hope to come close to emulating the success of Mario?

As a platformer fan for years... pixel perfect jumping is pretty much one of the main reasons platformer fans play platformers.

Would you honestly say that Rayman is better than Mario U or Donkey Kong Country returns?

In my opinion, it really doesn't even come close, because of it's slack gameplay and over reliance in it's muddled art style, which doesn't even clearly denote the edge of each platform.

I'll admit it does have some nice aspects. But they are mainly frivolous factors that don't contribute to the gameplay.

The guys that live with me enjoyed the game, they also enjoy COD, FIFA, Assassin's Creed etc.
(They aren't really gamers)

They find a proper platformer like Mario a bit taxing.

@Geonjaha Pixel Perfect jumping is what a platform game is about.

Rayman is an action game if it isn't about that.

@Einherjar the article relates to Japanese sales. Hence the discussion being on this actual web page.

Western gamers don't give a toss about gameplay, that's why Assassin's Creed sells well.

@Einherjar I never said Sonic was on a par with Mario games.

I don't think Sonic Lost World is a great game.
I don't think Rayman Legends is a great game either.

It doesn't surprise me that the game sold poorly in Japan.

@Einherjar

"And comparing it to Lost Worlds is a joke. This games controll scheme has a mind of its own and works only when it wants to."

Forgive me for believing you didn't get to grips with the controls from reading the above statement.

Innovative ideas do not constitute good platforming gameplay/mechanics, which are the most important elements for a platformer, especially in the eyes of the more rational japanese gameplaying market, who's judgement doesn't get clouded by the sort of guff that attracts a western audience.

Anyone who thinks Rayman PLAYS better than Mario is quite frankly bonkers.

What you are basically saying, is that Mario would be better if it had better graphics and more cheesy american style humor in it.
Because that is all that Rayman offers over Mario.
