@Einherjar the Rayman games (I own both and have finished both) are not as good as Mario platformers.
Lost Worlds is also not that good in my opinion, but it does have a more rhythmic gameplay style to it, which is quite hard to master.
Rayman doesn't have that. The jumps in it do not require PIXEL PERFECTION. It's easy. It's so easy.
That's probably why you can't play Sonic. Or Need for Speed for that matter. (Which you say is a good game, yet you can't play it????)
As for Mario World, Smash Bros, Mario Kart etc. Of course they will improve sales.
Ubisoft are never gonna boost console sales in Japan with any of their titles.
Anyway I'm not worried about either title. I have hero mode to finish in Wind Waker, which is a much more worthwhile distraction to either Rayman or Sonic.
@GN004Nadleeh I would say that Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze will be unlikely to disappoint. If you have played Donkey Kong Returns you should realise how good it is.
It is a tight platformer, in every way.
There is quite a difference in the caliber of Sonic and Donkey Kong platformers.
If you don't realise the differences then you'd probably just be better off avoiding platform games in general.
The reason Sonic games always turn out disappointing is because people actually expect them to be good.
They are always poopiedoodoocacapoopsiedoodledoggiepoops. They always have been and always will be. Nostalgia seems to cloud ex Sega fanboys judgement.
This game is getting reviews which are pretty much as I expected. Please watch the profanity — TBD
@SetupDisk you must either be a fan of this comic book character lark, or have played very few beat em ups.
It may be "okay". It certainly is nothing more. It is not a distinguished beat em up and nowhere near the standard of Street Fighter, Tekken, Soul series, etc...
@AllCreation I have two wii u consoles and two 3ds. I would use all of them if my account allowed. Especially the wii u. These are my games for my consoles. I have no need to give my games to anyone else. Tell your gf to buy her own games for her own consoles and let us do the same.
This is the person that does the no grammar poopiedoodledoggiedoos on youtube. Sure he doesn't even really talk about games. He's a comedian. Watch the profanity please — TBD
@StephenYap3 To sum up what you are saying: The subspace emissary was crap. Disjointed and rough as hell. I thought it was shoddy and maybe the most pointless addition in the history of Nintendo gaming.
Leave Smash brothers to just fighting.
Go on youtube if you want to see pointless Nintendo videos...leave the game without that garbage.
Damien... you often write a load of crap. But you have hit the nail on the head here.
I buy Nintendo to play Nintendo. If I wanted to play other stuff I'd play other consoles/PC.
Nintendo will always prevail in some form, due to their philosophy. They are true to their vision. There are millions of Nintendo gamers who agree. They may be dwindling slightly in numbers. But a good hardcore selection of Nintendo first party content for the Wii U and the 3DS will consolidate more younger gamers into their way of thinking.
Once you are a Nintendo gamer and you are "caught" It is pretty hard to enjoy the majority of games by other companies.
Nintendo will survive. If not... I will stop playing games.
Oh, annoyingly, I cannot play the DLC on both my Wii U consoles. I know this isn't new news. It is still annoying. That's my only gripe with Nintendo, sort out the DRM and I will be loyal forever!!!
This DLC was fantastic, I finished it at the weekend and it took roughly 15 hours according to my play records on the Wii U.
As a serious Mario and Nintendo fanatic I really enjoyed New Super Mario Bros U. The additional challenge of the Luigi DLC is fantastic. Genuinely some of the toughest 2D Mario levels I ever played.
Fire Bar Mountain was my favorite level in the original version but Fire Bar sprint in New Super Luigi U may just be better!
I had such a great weekend playing it! Thank you to my Girlfriend, who took herself away for a few days, which made it all possible!

Re: Rayman Legends Lands With A Thud At Japanese Retail
Fact is.... that Rayman is a crap platformer. It has nice graphics and sound, even good level design.
But the gameplay doesn't flow like Mario, or even Sonic Lost world.
And it's a western-y type game.
Re: Preview: Super Mario 3D World
@andreoni79 please send me a link, didn't know Euronics sold games.
Re: Preview: Super Mario 3D World
I dont give a toss about third parties on Wii U.
Bring it on Nintendo. The wii u is looking hot as hell for the next while in my opinion.
Smash bros
mariokart
Zelda
Donkey kong
X
Id say we will get starfox, fzero,metroid and earthbound sequels on this nintendo consoles life span.
Bring it on.
Cant wait for bayonetta 2

Re: Nintendo Download: 24th October (Europe)

Re: Wii U Isn't Getting Need For Speed: Rivals Thanks To Low Sales Of Most Wanted
It's published by EA.
So it ain't gonna come out on Wii U.
Simples.
I bought Most Wanted for Wii U and loved it. I usually avoid EA games because I have morals.
Although I used to love the Burnout series, therefore made an exception.

Crap characters in a crap game. I will buy this game. (If it becomes cheaper than burning coal.)

Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition Isn't Coming To Wii U
@SetupDisk I'd also like (most of) the above beat em ups on Wii U.
I am aware of the Gamecube SC doing well in comparison to other formats.
I also really, really would like to see that series on Wii U. It is also a shame about Ultra SFIV not coming to Wii U.
Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition Isn't Coming To Wii U
@SetupDisk I also own all of the above.
I am a fighting fan. Apologies for offending you by calling them Beat em ups
I am also a Wii U fan. I find Injustice and MK to be pretty much the worst beat em up series at the moment.
The lack of a new Injustice is a storm in a teacup. The Teacup being this webpage.
Injustice is not as good as any of the beat em ups you mentioned in your comment.
Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition Isn't Coming To Wii U
@JuanitoShet Tekken has sold more than any other fighting game. That's a fact.
Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition Isn't Coming To Wii U
@SkywardLink98 comic book fans think those Batman films with Christian Bale are the greatest films ever made
So save your sales nonsense for someone who cares.
There are a lot of beat em ups and good third party content that the wii u is missing out on which would deserve more of your sales statistics.
Apologies if they don't feature your favorite comic book characters.
Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition Isn't Coming To Wii U
@SetupDisk you must either be a fan of this comic book character lark, or have played very few beat em ups.
It may be "okay". It certainly is nothing more. It is not a distinguished beat em up and nowhere near the standard of Street Fighter, Tekken, Soul series, etc...
Tat vs Capcom on Wii is a better beat em up.
Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition Isn't Coming To Wii U
I think I can get over this, We have one of the best Beat em ups available in our version of Tekken Tag.
Injustice is a poor beat em up in my opinion, very poor, (as is Mortal Kombat.)
The Wii U does not need games like this. This sort of crap doesn't shift consoles. No major loss.
Re: Microsoft Wants You To Know That Its Surface Tablet Can Play SNES Games
@Grubdog so if you made a great product... would you think it makes good business sense to allow people to steal this product?

Re: Flipnote Studio 3D World Gallery Priced and Detailed for Europe

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Rules Out Story Sequences For Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS
@SKTTR the gameplay in the subpar emissary was exactly that.... SUBPAR.
THE EMISSARY WAS THE WORST PART OF THE GAME TO ACTUALLY PLAY!
Get it out... spend time and energy on mechanics!!!!
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Rules Out Story Sequences For Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS
@LtAldoRaine Pack it with cut scenes???
I think the 3DS can do FMV. Don't be so silly.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Rules Out Story Sequences For Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS
The Subspace Emissary should have been called the Subpar Emissary.
It was useless.
It detracted from Brawl and it's inclusion was the main reason that Melee was the better of the two.

Re: Review: New Super Luigi U (Wii U)
@kobe1724 DLC can only be played on one console, what do owners of more than one Wii U do??
Re: Review: New Super Luigi U (Wii U)
@BossBattles I disagree. Any gamer worth their salt can finish a 2D Mario in one weekend with all exits and star coins.
Still great games though.

Re: Smash Bros. Director Pushing Himself "To The Brink" To Decide Character Roster

He isn't suicidal. He isn't going to die. (At least not as a result of Smash Brothers development)
