@MadAdam81 nice. It's strange to me that Doom 3 isn't remembered as fondly by a lot of people, I thought it was great. Had a different vibe though admittedly
I stopped using it because I don't have any social media accounts. So I was only really interacting with my fiancé, family and the same few friends I see daily. It got boring.
I imagine if you have a massive interest in what other people do and think (usually about mundane subjects) it's probably great, much like the appeal of most if not all social media apps. Not for me though.
Give us a powerful, traditional home console with that unique Nintendo innovation.
Same goes for a standalone portable, like the 3DS but without the 3D and XL screens as standard. I genuinely think there's still a market there for this.
I love the Wii U, to this day still play it more than the PS4 and Xbone. But it clearly was a pain to make/port games on, missed out on so many big multiplat games.
The marketing and PR was horrendous too. This NX reveal and lead up to launch will be pivotal.
@kenrulei I agree. I was just saying that loads of people like yourself enjoy the game, regardless of what reviews say, so that is all that matters. Also, Sega racing on the Wii U is a great game one of my favourite launch games.
@kenrulei Dude, if you and your family enjoyed the game then that's great : ) Don't feel you have to justify your opinion just because people imply it's wrong.
Brother just texted me to say his special edition turned up this morning. Lucky sod. He's starting with Birthright, I'm opting for conquest first (when I can afford a copy, natch).
Pointless. We still all play Mario Party 10 (along with the smash and kart sessions) everytime the family get together on the weekends, it's a brilliant franchise. But solo play only, what a poor choice considering the other games available to release.
My copy came early yesterday and it's brilliant. Grin inducing high octane gameplay. Took me a level to get used to the controls, seriously it's so intuitive.
Other M was fantastic. I remember 100%-ing it over a long weekend, enjoyed every minute. Those who didn't like it had already decided to not to when it was announced. Yeah some corny dialogue but when is that genuinely uncommon. Got my first print preorder of star fox on the way, can't wait to master a new way to play!
LEGO City is probably my favourite, along side Mario Maker.There are so many to choose from, Nintendo once again have the best exclusives of the console generation. Honourable mentions to Need for Speed, Rayman and Hyrule Warriors.
Aw man, forgot Mario Party 10! Our most played local multiplayer game.
This'll be played so much in our house over the Xmas season (mainly by the youngsters but as a family). Thankfully Nintendo still understands the importance of local offline multiplayer.

Re: Feature: 20 Wii U and 3DS Games Perfect for Halloween
Outlast is currently about £3 on PS store atm (and resi for free), so me and the Mrs will be playing that with the lights out!
Regarding this list, metroid prime is always a great way of feeling lost and isolated.
Re: Review: LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Wii U)
Lego City remains the best non first party game on Wii U.
Sadly here, for the reasons mentioned above, you're better off with the PS4 or XBONE version.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Wii U / N64)
Should really have the 3ds version. But I don't. I'll probably get this tomorrow, play the original.
Re: This Is What Sonic The Hedgehog Looks Like In Lego Dimensions
Looks crap
Re: Pokémon GO Plus Pre-Orders Open on Official Nintendo UK Store, Priced at £34.99
What a rip
Re: Gallery: Check Out The First Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Screenshots
Simply beautiful. End of.
Screw VR, this is what gaming is all about, past present and future.
Re: For What It's Worth, Watch Dogs 2 Launches This November
The first one was crap on Wii U. Framerate was appalling and it looked like a sub par 360 game visually.
Fingers crossed it comes to NX and that it builds on the solid ideas the first one gave us.
Re: Nintendo Confirms a Second Day of E3 2016 Treehouse Streaming
Cool, I guess. Still needs a Nintendo Direct though, one that shows some unannounced games.

Re: Video: Weep with Us Over these Top Five Gaming Series that Ain't What They Used to Be
@PigmaskFan we all love that mechanic at our place.
Re: Video: Weep with Us Over these Top Five Gaming Series that Ain't What They Used to Be
Resident evil 6 is one of the worst AAA games I've ever played.
The last good Call of duty was number 2 on xbox360.
Even the popular Sonic games are massively overated.
Disagree with the Mario Party inclusion though, they're all brilliant bar number 8.
New Doom is INCREDIBLE. My 2 cents anyway.
Re: EDGE Magazine's Look At Yooka-Laylee Explores a Dynamic World, Minecarts and Arcade Game Unlocks
Can't wait for this, I'm buzzing like an old fridge.
Recently demolished and loved the new Rachet and Clank, they rarely make games like these anymore.

Bring on FE and AC mobile games.

Alex n Co should go and show off their NX templates and prototypes.

Re: Lynn and the Spirits of Inao Has Been Cancelled
Exploiting workers is not on, shame it results in a game being shut down but totally understandable, as others have said.
Re: Video: Poe Dameron Takes Flight in Latest LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer
Looks awesome
Re: Review: The Deer God (Wii U eShop)
Not enough bang for your Buck it seems.
Re: Review: The Deer God (Wii U eShop)
Deer lord, what a shame. Was looking forward to this, I'll grab it when it's on a sale most likely.
Re: Review: Mario Party DS (Wii U eShop / DS)
Pointless. We still all play Mario Party 10 (along with the smash and kart sessions) everytime the family get together on the weekends, it's a brilliant franchise. But solo play only, what a poor choice considering the other games available to release.

If anyone fancies that rampage game on 3DS I have a code for it
Re: Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle Passes 60,000 Sales in Under 24 Hours
Both ASA and Shantae for less than a quid. Shantae is excellent.
Re: Video: Feel the Beat in This Localised Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Trailer
Wii U exclusive. Achingly Nintendo. It's a preorder for sure.
Re: Guide: Unlocking Every Stage in Star Fox Zero
Good tip is charging your game pad before every session. Sounds obvious but you'll be caught short otherwise.

Re: Review: Star Fox Zero (Wii U)
The gamesradar.com review is dreadful. That first paragraph about the Wii U, such drivel.
Re: Editorial: From Metroid: Other M to Star Fox Zero, the Awkward Experimentation With Beloved Franchises
Other M was fantastic. I remember 100%-ing it over a long weekend, enjoyed every minute. Those who didn't like it had already decided to not to when it was announced. Yeah some corny dialogue but when is that genuinely uncommon. Got my first print preorder of star fox on the way, can't wait to master a new way to play!

Re: Editorial: It's Not Fun to Criticise Nintendo Games, But It's Been Unavoidable in 2015
A well written article. I agree. As for "haterz gonna hate", well, it's a saying mainly used by stupid people.

Aw man, forgot Mario Party 10! Our most played local multiplayer game.
Re: Feature: Reflecting On Three Years With The Wii U - Part One
Best console of this generation.
Re: You Can't Alter The Chest Size Of Female Characters In The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X
Good! Was a repellant and immature feature anyway. This is much better for our version (UK).
Re: Video: The New Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival Trailer is Seeking Happy Players
