@briwipdx I know right? They can't put that on their head that the Wii U is the gamepad. It may not have been used to its full potential (I'm guessing it's because the hardware is not that powerful) but it revolves around the concept of having 2 screens like the DS/3DS.
Coming from PC mouse/keyboard, the gyro controls are godsend. I can't stand playing shooters with the R Stick for aiming.
@Yorumi @FullbringIchigo @Ralizah I don't want gender-swapping in adventure games. If they're gonna make a female protagonist Link, make it a female Link in the story. Give her an identity/character and attitude in the story. I don't want them to make a generic character or a generic story that will accommodate both male and female Link. Focus on one. Give it a character.
Link is an established male. Don't change that just to appease those who wanted to play as a female. Give them Linkle instead who is her own character with her own story. If not, give them Zelda as a playable character with her own motive to go in an adventure.
@Grumblevolcano @ThomasBW84 and friends should include/merge physical/DL on the poll to better gauge which readers are going to buy. "Nothing this week" seems no one's buying anything.
@Chaoz Your "better" fan-made TP HD runs on a PC on par with the Wii U hardware in terms of graphical power? I thought so. Stop comparing a high-end PC on the WiiU.
@sillygostly @OorWullie
You don't need to download these data packs if you're buying digitally since it said in the direct it's all included in the digital version. These data packs are for those who are buying the physical disc.
"Hey my choice wasn't announced for Smash therefore it's a poor choice."
There's no rule saying the character should only be in Smash if it appeared in a Nintendo console game. Nintendo approved these choices because they think it's good for them and for their target audience.
@Windy The Reggie-Bill tandem is fine. I watched the 2 Directs simultaneously switching audio when the other one shows games I'm not too interested in. No disrespect to Shibata but the EU Direct was painfully boring and I couldn't understand Shibata sometimes. The US Direct was fast-paced and fluid. But anyway, I love Shibata for always giving us cool Limited/Collector's editions.
@Jazzer94 @Goob
Are you seriously comparing the Wii U to what a PC (dolphin emulator) can do? Tell them to run this game with their graphical "improvements" on the Wii U machine better then let's call Tantalus or Nintendo lazy.
Edit:
Also adding what Nintendo/Tantalus added/improved in gameplay/feature.
@JaxonH Same with the "leak" I said earlier this year. They got the date correctly and half of the contents. It could be true and they just added a bunch not in the Direct so as to not raise suspicion from Nintendo on who is leaking what.
@JaxonH They've predicted the date of an earlier Direct too (was it the April 1 Direct?) But it turns out only half of the contents were true.
That said I want Sunshine HD on the Wii U but prefer Luigis Mansion 3D to go along with the already released Dark Moon on the 3DS instead of having Sunshine 3D.
@Nintendofan83 Hey same! I went back to console gaming after the SNES/Megadrive/PS1 era in November 2013 and SM3DW was my first game besides the NSMBU+NSLU bundled on my Wii U. And I came across NLife after months and months of research before my purchase of my Wii U.
@Rintarou_Okabe +1 If Splatoon was a Wii U launch title, the PS3 and X360 would have been caught off guard and Nintendo would at least have 30 if not 50 million Wii U users right now.
@manu0
It's my ignore list of people with poopy opinions I consider with no credibility. It doesn't mean I have to ignore you and the others entirely. Also did you read the article thoroughly? I don't think any 9 year-olds with responsible parents would be allowed to play MKWii until 1am. So yeah, you're just a bitter poop.
@manu0 Do you honestly believe what he has written in this article are the only things that went in their conversations? If you're gonna tell a story, you only tell the interesting parts. You don't need to go into the full details. Again you are pathetic and are nitpicking on what was only written in the story.
@manu0 You are pathetic. It could also mean that if Elijah found out she's under aged, he could just stop pursuing her. Or at least just remain friends as how it started in Mario Kart.
But congratulations. You just made it into my ignore list.

Re: Gallery: There's Loads Of Awesome Linkle Fan Art Available Already

She is her own character as mentioned in the Direct if I'm not mistaken.
Re: Gallery: There's Loads Of Awesome Linkle Fan Art Available Already

People will finally recognise her as her own character when HW:Legends or whenever Nintendo release her own origin story.
Re: Gallery: There's Loads Of Awesome Linkle Fan Art Available Already
@Aromaiden
Not when she officially gets a backstory/origin.

That's an exaggeration. I'd buy it for 40€ day one digitally but not for 50€. It'll have to wait a little bit.
