Gamecube had bad 3rd party support because of the button lay-out, and the way it was set up. Though I think that, in this recession. For both microsoft and sony it's not a bad decission to keep this consolegen for a while longer. They won't miss out on 3rd party support, and they won't be blasted away because of WiiU being a powerhouse. If you want 3rd party games. Get yourself a 360. I'm getting a WiiU because of the eShop. I've got high hopes for that one
I just hope eShop will flourish on WiiU. I like my gaming in bitesizes apart from Nintendo's own IP's. The gamepad can do things no other console can. And by the time OUYA gets here, we may see some ports from there, knowing there's a touchpad on that wacko as well. If I really wanted 3rd party games, I would have bought a PS3 a long time ago.
EDIT:
It's all about image by the way. When people think of nintendo they think of kiddies. When they think of PS360, they think adrenaline and epicness. You can't have both worlds, Either a casual or a hardcore image. Nintendo thinks it can be bipolar. It can't.
This is frightening me, I really want a solid onbiased breakdown of the WiiU specs.. It sounds like we'll be excluded again when the competition comes. I now am seriousy intersted in getting a Vita otherwise, or just keep my 3DS as my only nextgen console
The time of the download will vary by connection speed and traffic.. I can only imagine how many people will download that update at once. Nintendo's servers are going to have a hard time the 18th, the 30th an the 8th
I know it's completely off-topic but @Alienfish is kind of right. That game was the moment it turned into marioparty on wheels. Super Circuit is my favorite, as it's still a racing game. I HATE THAT BLUE SHELL!!
On topic: I just hope they aren't hyping for something they can't fulfill. I'm gonna get myself a WiiU for eshop, VC and some games, but I still think the system is gonna lose the race. They're just too conservative.
I might be tempted, with that nintendo premium download subscription thing, I'll probably download Nintendo Land as well. I ussually buy many games second-hand, but this might get me into buying new.
I never even came through the first level on the snes version. It's one of the only games that I keep playing, even when i've never seen the second level. I suck at this game..
I'm gonna try one more time today.
BRING IT UP ZOMBIES!!
I feel like a kid already when I'm playing my 3DS while getting to my university, This will only make it worse. I really hope Nintendo will try to reach their more mature audience with special editions once in a while..
I think we can stop bashing @Skywardink98 now.. It's his opinion. I think buying a console in this late lifespan isn't that bad of an idea.
Look at the backlog of games one can play for practicly nothing. I'm not really attracted to Sony's marketing or their products as a whole. but seeing you can buy a PS3 for that price, I can understand his standing point.
Not that I agree with him. Can't wait for the 30th to pick up my ZombiU pack
Doesn't that girl in the Gameboy add tht you can just buy a case to put your games in. Ah well, you hae t be creative when you're only wearing a bikini
@BenAV You live in a PAL region too, right? Do you know anything about a PAL release? Apparently it's not a launch title. Most retailers in the Netherlands say it's for a 31dec release. I NEED THIS GAME
I agree with @Haywired that developers should watch out with what they're doing with the gamepad, I don't want to be forced to do things that are plain easy with buttons. Demolishing great games by adding Fruit Ninja?! BAD!! This is an FPS, so the moment your thmbs leave the conrol sticks you can either not move or not change de camera direction. But why do you think that gamepad can only be on your lap? You can't move your arms up? Checking your gamepad can be as easy as checking your DS screen..
I disappointed it's not in 1080p, this is their show-of 1st party game right? they should have hit the spot with this.. wasn't getting this anyway, i'll save my platforming needs for Rayman
I only tried the first one, it grasped me at first, but halfway it got a bit repetitive. This looks very good though. Could be worth a shot. I really realy like the artstyle!
I didn't like the 3D-styling when I first saw it, and I still don't. I feel the characters are more flat in 3D then they were in 2D. Those 2D characters were easier relate to in my opinion

I NEED THIS GAME
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th October 2012 (Europe)

Re: Nyko Experiences Power Outage, No Longer Releasing 3DS Power Grip Pro

Re: Rumour: Square Enix Triple-A Title Being Ported to Wii U
Chooses Sleeping Dogs over Tomb Raider. I never really liked the Tomb Raider series. Apart from Lara's physique and shooting the butler.

Re: Puddle For Wii U Will Be The Definitive Version Of The Game

Re: Capcom and Level-5 Reveal Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney TGS Trailer
I didn't like the 3D-styling when I first saw it, and I still don't.
