Everyone who downloads it (its ok if you just want to get the club nintendo bonus) is part of the problem. This game is wht everyone hates about gaming on smartphones. We can't let this get a foothold on Handhelds.
I really hope that Nintendo will lose money on this game. But i doubt it.
Slightly? It is part of the worst thing that ever happened to gaming. It copies the smartphone business modell and needs to be ignored. It needs to create a loss for Nintendo. I really hope they fail with it.
For me it is Gold/Silver. All later Pokémon suffer from feature creep. The games get so overloaded with features. G/S improved upon R/B in so many ways and still kept the game simple enough.
My pick has to be MK8. It was a tough pick tho. The average battle mode nearly made me pick Super Mario Kart or Mario Kart 64.
But overall MK8 is the better game.
They only list games that got a metacritic score of 85+ AND a user score of 8.5+ There is no they should have put X and Y on there. These are the games that fulfill these two scores.
Tbh i think Nintendo is setting a bad precedent here.
If i buy something i should be able to use it no matter what the company that sold it thinks. They can deny us updates if we do not accept new eulas (while i still think its bad) but forcing a update and tell us after the fact we need to accept the new eula otherwise we can not use the product any more.
And everyone who thinks he shoudl just accept is part of one of the biggest problems with the indutsry at the momen. Just accepting everything the publishers want to push down our throats.
The only Ubisoft games i will buy are the Anno games on PC. But they are so rare that i can go without buying one of their games for a long long time. I even got two of their games for WiiU so i do not consider me part of the "problem".
Can only vote for those that i own. and since i am not a big Mario J&R player i do only own 6. Super Mario Land, 6 Golden Coins, Sunshine, New Super Mario Bros, New Super Mario Bros Wii and Super Mario 3D Land. Out of those i like 3D Land the most followed by 6 Golden Coins and Sunshine.
No Yorumi you want to force me to change to karts that will abuse this technique best. You want me to play your way. I want that everyone can play as the driver they want. Se how i spun that. Now you are the elitist who wants to force everyone to play as he wants.
You really want to have to play Funky Kong on a Bike all over again?
Yorumi there is nothing elitist about wanting these things gone. Sneaking for example was not fun when most of your opponents did not use it. Getting first place for hand cramps is not something i would consider fun.
I take MK racing way too seriously and scream at my monitor all the time. But this is just not fun.
If everyone knows how to do it it still kills the online multiplayer for those that just want to have fun. There is a reason why so many people did not bother with the MK DS online multiplayer. Because there was always that one player that needed to snake while the others just had a good race.
Kenny but thats the pont. If you get hit close to the finish line by a red shell blue shell or what ever and you managed to get an extra 2 - 3 second lead that might be enough to secure the first place. a place you might have otherwise lost.
And no matter if you drive perfect or not it will shave of time.
Why should it not provide a boost in online competitive play? If you are in first place and don't get bothered that much you can get ahead 2 - 3 more seconds. That can easy decide if you will win or lose in an otherwise close game.
I will play Planetside 2 the most. It is the one game i pretty much play on a daily basis right now. In addition to that i will play some Nintendo Pocket Football Club. Season two has started and i won my first match in the new league. Hope many more will follow.
If i had a second vote i would give it to Hyrule Warriors. But since i only got one i had to put it on Mario Kart 8. The one reason to own a WiiU imho.
The problem is that people that are offended (and this is not exclusive to women but rather happens pretty much everywhere) cry foul way too often and way too soon. Now everyone is so used to them that noone really cares anymore.
Well the ESRB ratings are easier to get but they are also automated. Noone is actully testing the game. I much more prefere for a game to be tested by an individual instead of relying on the information a developer provides.
You can bitch about the USK all you wnat but they do it right. They get the game, they play the game and they rate the game.

Re: Weirdness: BAFTA Appears To Have Clean Forgotten That The Nintendo 3DS Even Exists
Out of these games i hope Hitman Go wins. Its a very cool game.
But i assume Monument Valley will take the cake.
Re: Gallery: Nintendo Decides That Valentine's Day is Friendship Day
I love the Mario one.

Re: Poll: Which is the Best Super Smash Bros. Game?
For me it is Melee. Brawl was just not for me and WiiU suffers from too much content

Revalations for less than 10€. I am very interested right now.
Re: Video: Watch Us Merrily Cause Some Havoc In Watch Dogs On Wii U
I might pick it up once it is cheaper. a lot cheaper. But it does look decent enough to warrent some playtime.
Re: 3DS Homebrew Exploit Set to be Launched on 22nd November
The unfortunate truth is that this will lead to piracy. Even if it is not intended to not support piracy.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th November (Europe)
One of the few times i wish i could click on more than one item.
I will get the Mario Kart DLC and Picross e5.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Turok: Rage Wars

I only got it for the multiplayer and the game had a amn good one.

Re: Resident Evil Revelations 2 Confirmed By Capcom, Skipping Nintendo Systems
Shame it is skipping the 3DS. Kind of a strange choice considering the first on 3DS pretty much saved RE.
Re: New Nintendo 3DS Models Announced
@gsmaciel I think the new 3D uses headtracking as well.
Re: New Nintendo 3DS Models Announced
@Swiket i love those

Super Mario Land, 6 Golden Coins, Sunshine, New Super Mario Bros, New Super Mario Bros Wii and Super Mario 3D Land.
Out of those i like 3D Land the most followed by 6 Golden Coins and Sunshine.
Re: Poll: Is Online Co-Op a Major Miss in Hyrule Warriors, or is Local Multiplayer Enough?
Would have loved to play the game online. I got noone i can play these games with locally so online would have been awesome for me.
Re: Screenshots Disabled in Comic Workshop Miiverse Community
tbh this overprotecting from nintendo is so annoying.
Re: Poll: Your Favourite Showing from Nintendo During E3 Day One
Splatoon for me. That game just oozes fun.
Re: Poll: Should Nintendo Patch The Controversial Fire Hopping Technique In Mario Kart 8?
Since they never did that in MK Wii right? Funky Kong plus Bike was not the most played combo there...

Re: Poll: Should Nintendo Patch The Controversial Fire Hopping Technique In Mario Kart 8?
If this catches on in online multiplayer then the online multiplayer is dead to me. And when that happens the WiiU is dead to me.
Snaking was bad for the game and so is this. Not as bad but still bad.
Re: Poll: Should Nintendo Patch The Controversial Fire Hopping Technique In Mario Kart 8?

Re: Poll: Should Nintendo Patch The Controversial Fire Hopping Technique In Mario Kart 8?
Just patch it out. It just like snaking in MK DS all over again. Either you do it or you can stop bothering with the online mode.
Re: Tactical Strategy RPG Based on Sci-Fi TV Series Falling Skies to Invade Wii U

Dont have hight hopes for the game but i give them the chnace to prove me wrong.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th May (Europe)
Not sure if i will download anything this week.
I will get the Mario Kart 8 Steelbox and i am not een sure what game i should get for free.
Blackgate for the 3DS sounds interesting at a 10€ price point. Have to think about that.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd May (Europe)
Picross e4 is a must buy for me.
Re: Lucasfilm Decrees That All Star Wars Video Games Are Non-Canon

Re: Former Criterion Boss Alex Ward Laments Issues With Releasing Need For Speed On Wii U
Why should Nintendo help EA market a game? EA is one of the biggest publishers in the market. They do not need help from Nintendo.
