I got my wii u at the start of February as a birthday gift from my wife and mother, because its what I wanted. If I didnt have it id buy it this Christmas provided I was wanting to buy a system this Christmas. As much as I love my wii u I will be buying a ps4 as i have always owned sony systems next to my Nintendo consoles since sony broke into the market. However I will not be buying a ps4 til its been out about 10 months.
@CountWavula agreed. I miss all those shows. I remember the super mario world cartoon too. Anyone else remember the sonic cartoon or mega man one as well?
@AVahne itd at least be helpful for Europe and the US. I wouldn't even try to play Japanese stuff. Itd be ruined because I cant read or speak Japanese lol. Wouldnt be the same.
I bought xenoblade and last story but Pandoras tower was horrible. Didnt waste the cash on it. I rented it from my local library. finished two towers and said to hell with it. Im not above over grinding or tons of side quests. I 100% completed xenoblade in under 102hrs. But pandoras tower was way too repetitious. Being confined to that tower basically the entire game ruined it.
I like the gamepad and using it for an inventory screen or whatever. However I dont always want to use it either. I personally like having the option to use the pro controller too. Its been my controller of choice out of the pro being more comfortable. Not saying the gamepad isnt though. Also the battery life blows, even dimmed completely.
Have any of these systems gotten it right with sound reproduction yet? Every one ive checked up on is said to reproduce the sounds not spot on like the original systems.
@SCAR392 the battery life is plenty reason to put it down. I really like the gamepad but the pro controller is more comfortable I think. Those are both reason to put it down for some. Especially the battery life of maybe 4-5hrs with the screen dimmed completely vs 80hrs. No brainer
Cant believe how much Nintendo turned this game around from its first trailer. I was so put off by it that I had zero interest and went as far as to think it was completely stupid. After the recent trailer and after seeing it nearly get perfect scores. Im totally eating my thoughts and will be getting it, but not til after ive bought or at least preordered smash bros4, mk8 and X. Those have a bit higher priority for me.
I dont generally take this sites reviews too seriously to heart. I find they are rated too low usually when it comes to anything third party. I come here for other news. The game is more of a 7.5
@KayOL78 uh, you know that development times for ps4 are faster by far than it was for the ps3. Infact back to how easy it was for the orginal ps. Xbox is going to take longer than the ps3 did, im betting. Companies have already said they have difficulties. Sony should be a lot better off this generation on cost of development for games.
Still enjoying my copy and having fun pissing off people that complain about campers. Its fun to camp just to hear them get upset on the mic. Its just a game, its serious buisness to some of these people lol. Im not staying long enough to camp, I keep telling them im napping. Hah. feel free to add me, my nnid is the same as my name here.
@Kirk I have to say I get your complaint about nintendo but you go about things in a decently offensive wording most of the time to where you come off so ostentatious and pompous. I wont be checking back to see your response. I just figured youd like to know what most peoples issue with you is usually, since it seems to escape you.
@ricklongo I just beat my copy yesterday, only went for 90% complete. If I recall correctly it only cut away from the actual 1600s or whatever it is like 4 times for roughly...5-10 minutes each. Not nearly as cut away as you're thinking. I suggest getting it. Its roughly a 30-40hr game to complete. More if going for 100% pending on the skill level of said player.
Ive been playing my copy since tuesday, but one thing I notice is when synchronizing in jungle type areas. 1/4 of an inch around Edward there seems to be a blurring/lag as the camera rotates. It doesnt happen every time either. Other then that its great. Anyone else notice the issue ive seen when synching????
@SetupDisk lololol. Still have mine preordered. I couldn't care less about this feature. Anyone care to play online my sn is the same as here on blops2 in wii u and look forward to killing you on ghosts.
@Grubdog well thats your opinion and youre very entitled to it. Its not a matter of needing easy mode, I assure you. I like action. I think the characters and story is very blah. Therefore the new ip would need not to suck for me to spend money on it. Ill support a new ip on any system as long as its good in my opinion.
Its not like most wanted was a new game. Most of the people that wanted it got it when it came out on ps3 or 360. Not to mention it was more expensive on wii u. This shouldn't have been a shock to them. It was great on wii u but not worth the full price when others had it cheaper. I personally rented it from the library and beat it in a weekend.
@thesilverbrick I played it with the gamecube controller. I played it on the collecters edition rather than digging out the n64. I just meant the way yhe character moved felt clunky. I get you now though.
@thesilverbrick oh. See, when i played oot recently, I started in the middle of the game. Was bored, dont ask. It felt clunky as all hell. I tried to play it for like 20 minutes and quit because of the controls. I thought to myself..howd I play this through back then? Maybe I had patience to get used to the controls then. Being I wasn't really vested in getting back into it. Mario 64 controls felt clunky but not that clunky. Dunno. I played starfox 64 recently too. I love that game. Again the controls were very blah. Maybe im just spoiled on current stuff. No....when I think about it there is plenty of snes games that just plain feel better.
@thesilverbrick not everyone has a 3ds or would pay attention to that. I own all the Zeldas that have came out o console. Ive played oot and mario 64 recently. Both dont look very good. Super mario world for snes and alttp has aged better. Just will have to agree to disagree.
@DerpSandwich agreed. I also didnt like how they did the dungeons. At least making you return to the same dungeons but extended it with a new area felt like they rushed it. What were they doing for the better part of 5 years? I see no excuse. By the time I had gotten everything and what not I was so burnt out on the game I didnt bother to fight the last boss. Shame. I had beaten every console zelda too. I was excited for that game. I was very let down.
