I have never liked Keza's articles on IGN, because she thinks her opinions are facts. Nintendo just needs to release the games and needs to advertise! I have not seen a single advertisement for the WiiU this quarter. (I live in the Netherlands. I would not be surprised if there were not any advertisements in the EU to begin with)
Well, that is pretty abysmal for the WiiU o.O Software sales are higher then I thought they would be. I wonder what the sales figures will look like after the holiday season.
Something like this is actually something I have wanted nintendo to make for centuries! Now, I see that it does look really awesome! My compliments to the modder
Oh boy, here we go again... If I had the money I would definitely invest it in Nintendo. I think they will make a strong comeback. Without nintendo's own hardware, the games can not become what nintendo wants them to become.
@Yorumi Yeah, I do understand that I mean the internal confusion at EA. Some say they won't make games, some say they will support the wiiu, others say frostbite will not work on the wiiu and someone else claims that it will work. Maybe using the word confusion was not a good choice?
Saw a youtuber play trough the prototype demo. I am really interested in this title. Would be great if they would publish it on the wiiu! Otherwise I will get it for my mac.
@pntjr That games' multiplayer is awful, but the gamepad use is great. We need more games that make proper use of the gamepad. Nintendo is not using it in their new games at all. SM3DWorld uses it, but in a dumb way. The other games just use it for off-tv play or maps, wich is disappointing.
I do not agree with him completely, Nintendoland is a game that really shows off how different and unique the WiiU is. But I guess he means that there is no game that even casuals can pick up and play with ease and shows of unique the machine is. Also, looking at the current game lineup for the WiiU, Nintendo is not even using the Gamepad in revolutionary ways. Just having off-tv play or a map does not justify having the gamepad Nintendo, I want games with the asynchronous multiplayer!
From the information that the game gives me, these games look well fleshed out and very enjoyable. It has a lot more interactivity going on in it and it is a real step up to the previous (free) games. I might buy the bundle as soon as I start studying at the university, I will be getting many hits while riding the train
If nintendo would develop games for app stores, the app stores will get into trouble too. Because suddenly there will be a very large quality gap between nintendo's games and the ones that Rovio makes and everyone realises they have been playing crappy games on there phones for years. (Just a prediction based on nothing )
Of course he is right! The only problem I have with it is that it will still take a while before we finally get some great games for the wiiu. Oh well, I will play trough another New Super Mario Bros. (luigi dlc) until something else arrives.
I was thinking the same: Why isn't nintendo using the gamepad for other things then Off TV play? The only nintendo games that really make use of it's features, like asynchronous multiplayer, are Nintendoland and Game & Wario. I don't think nintendo should ditch it, it's an awesome device with awesome possibilities, but why doesn't even it's creator bother to implement it better in it's games?
@Melkaticox I said that this will be the first pokemon game that I will buy (myself). I have never done that before, because I don't like the older games. I have borrowed Ruby once from a friend and I just could not get into it. I have played one of the DS games too for 4 hours, and I just could not get myself to continue playing it. This installment seems to adress the problems I had with the older games, and thus I am interested in giving the series another go.
I think their decision to make another DK game is fine. But Nintendo must not forget it's other franchises. I really want to see a new metroid, 2D, 3D, I don't care about it.
@strongest_link That's because I do not like management in videogames, especially when there is a time limit to it. I have played both gamecube games, and I did not really like them. I should give Pikmin 2 another shot during the summer vacation, maybe I can change my mind before the release of Pikmin 3.
Mario 3D World did not wow me at first, I do like it now. MarioKart8 really surprised me! I did not see that gravity aspect coming and the graphics are great too! Smash Bros on the other hand looks like an HD version of brawl. X looks great too, but I want to see some fighting and want to know something about the story before jumping on board with it. DK didn't surprise me either, I knew it was coming thanks to the rerelease of DKCR (3D). The other games where games we already knew about. I do find it strange that Yoshi's wiiu outing is missing at the E3.
This summer and this fall, my wiiu will collect dust. But as soon as Wind Waker HD comes out, the wiiu will be getting awesome games every month, just like the 3DS. And now that I think about it, even for this summer we have some games that I like for the wiiu (but games like Pikmin do not interest me at all), but I will spend most of my money on the 3DS this summer.
@Kaine_Morrison You mean like an imaginary game system within Animal Crossing? That could be a funny idea! You get into a store and see a 'odnetnin' system. You can play a game on it like 'Tree Shaker Deluxe'.

Hmm, I am out of money after buying so many games as of late... Seeing virtues last reward for that price is not healthy for my wallet right now.
Re: Wii U RPG Soul Saga Will Turn Your GamePad Into A Steampunk Phone
Sounds like a good idea. Better then what nintendo came up with for their Mario games...

Re: EA: Frostbite 3 On Wii U "Not Impossible"

Re: EA: Frostbite 3 On Wii U "Not Impossible"
Will the confusion never end? These guys really need to step up their game!

Looks promising! Hopefully the gameplay will be as top notch as the visuals!

Re: Video: Yoshi's New Island E3 Trailer
I think the art style is awful. I loved the hand drawn sprites on the SNES and the DS version. The environments look bland and lifeless to me.
