Re: Rumour: Best Buy's Wii U E3 Demo List Revealed

SkywardCrowbar

Is anyone else having their Best Buy locations change on them? The Georgia ones have changed twice now, and I called the location nearest me (at the Mall of Georgia) and the associate I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about when I inquired if they would have the E3 Nintendo Experience demo stuff.

I am now worried.

Re: Ubisoft: With The Right Games Wii U Will Find Its Public

SkywardCrowbar

I understand the anger at Ubisoft over the whole Rayman nonsense. That said, it's in the past. Ubisoft is Nintendo's biggest ally right now. They are still pretty much all in with Nintendo. Yes, it was BS that Rayman: Legends hasn't been released yet and it's not a Wii U Exclusive anymore, but there's no use crying over spilled milk. Let's focus on the great games that Ubisoft is bringing to the Wii U going forward.

I'd also like to point out that it is a minor consolation (at least to me) that Wii U got the free Challenges App. I've greatly enjoyed it, and it's hyped me up a lot for the final product. Also, from what I gather, the Wii U will have an exclusive stealth mini game or mode or something like that. Every version of the game will have some exclusive content. I like that idea.

I'd rather get an official controller. I'll need to pick up either a Pro Controller or a Classic Controller to play the games I have from Club Nintendo downloaded from the Wii Virtual Console.

Will the Pro Controller play games on the Wii menu in the Wii Menu?

Re: Darkness Falls Early For Shadow Of The Eternals

SkywardCrowbar

@element187 As has been discussed here, we don't know if there's a publisher yet. Signs indicate that there may be a publisher on board, but I'm not going in on that until I see something official.

I'm 100% with you in that I hope if there is a publisher, it's Nintendo. I would love to see this as a Wii U exclusive and to see Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem come to the eShop.

Re: Darkness Falls Early For Shadow Of The Eternals

I can see high donor output if they reveal more about the game, but I don't think that will be able to make up 90% of the cost... They will need to look for some other options.

I really, REALLY want this game to come to Wii U as part of what I see as the console becoming the home for survival horror (my favorite genre) in this next console cycle.

Re: Ubisoft Nervous About How People Will React To Watch_Dogs At E3

SkywardCrowbar

Watch_Dogs looks fascinating. I see it as potentially being a top tier new IP and this first installment of the franchise being a truly great game. This bit of news makes me a little concerned that Ubisoft (a company that I really like) knows that this title won't be as good as it is being billed by fans and the media.

Hopefully, though, it will be fantastic.

@Melkaticox I thought ZombiU was excellent. Just needed the glitches and load times fixed. Amazing survival horror title. Great gameplay mechanics, music, environments, atmosphere, and replay value. It was a survival horror fan's horror game.

I've not played any of the Assassin's Creed games as they look to me like too much of a rip-off of the Prince of Persia games and they seem kinda like shovelware (ala CoD) at this point. I liked Red Steel ok. I thought it got way too much grief, but it certainly was far from great.

Re: PES 2014 Will Not Be Dispensed On Wii U

SkywardCrowbar

Not a big deal. Second rate soccer (football if you aren't in the US I suppose) game.

Too much doom and gloom in these reports of games not coming to the Wii U and/or 3DS. Most of these titles that are skipping the Nintendo systems are inconsequential.

Re: Get Excited, Nintendo's E3 Site Is Out In The Wild

SkywardCrowbar

Sooooooo excited! Definitely on a Nintendo high right now. Cannot wait until E3, and I can't wait to demo these games!!!

Just got paid today, I went on a tear in the eShop. Picked up Super Metroid, Mega Man, Mega Man X, Ghosts & Goblins, Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. 2, Kirby's Adventure 3, Kirby Super Star, and Kirby's Adventure.

Re: E3 Nintendo Direct Date and Time Confirmed

SkywardCrowbar

Nintendo should only add maybe 1 or 2 games to the fall and holiday lineup. I want to see lots of games for next year. Wii U can't survive another 8 month drought of sales like they had this year again. We need games throughout next year and throughout the rest of the Wii U's life.

Re: SEGA Teases Sonic Lost World Characters

SkywardCrowbar

Very exciting!

Am I the only one who is filled with excitement about this game? I feel like it might be the long awaited next great Sonic game. I feel like that's why Sega and Nintendo are making such a big deal out of this.

Re: Talking Point: The Wii U's Next-Gen Challenge Starts to Take Shape

SkywardCrowbar

PS4 and XBox One are running off a cliff on the graphics train. They will never catch the PC. Wii U will win this console generation by providing something unique.

We've been through this song and dance before when people wrote off the Wii for being less advanced than its competitors. Look how that turned out. Which is aside from that the gulf between the Wii U and its competitors is much smaller than the one between the Wii and its contemporaries.

Re: Media Outlets List Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U

SkywardCrowbar

CoD on a Nintendo home console is a conundrum...

On the one hand, it's the most popular AAA franchise out there today, so naturally Nintendo would want a version of every game in the library. On the other hand, most Nintendo fans and owners of Nintendo home consoles aren't going to want to play CoD. It's not their cup of tea.

I personally haven't liked CoD since I bought 3 as a launch title for the Wii, but I recognize its value in the library for the Wii U.

Interestingly enough, the Wii U version of BLOPS2 has the highest GameRankings (I use them instead of Metacritic as Metacritic will use crap like USA Today reviews to calculate their scores) score.
