I don't like what they did with NSMB2, short and pricey extra content. I don't think Mario is the kind of game to be divided into pieces as two people have wisely stated earlier.
@True_Hero. No, I comment whether I like the article or not. Sorry if that doesn't please you, or you are not able to understand constructive criticism. I am not changing myself to suit you.
@True_Hero, don't manipulate, if you don't like my comment just ignore it. I like things well done and I will always criticize things bad done as this one. I don't care ONM said it before, most of the information on the Net is inaccurate (and rubbish), that's why I don't visit them all.
I didn't comment the original piece of news because it was entirely based on speculation. And now I see this update that says this information could be totally wrong! But you got 120 comments, Nintendo Life. Problem is when people get tired of not confirmed pieces of news.
@ Ideal_Hero, you are wrong. They don't tell a thing about the CPU and GPU speed and memory. We only know that the total RAM is 2GB, the same as current smartphones (such as Nexus 4) and only 1GB for games. Maybe it would be better to know the details because they might make a difference. But we don't know them.
The problem as I said before is that we don't know the detailed (note this adjective) hardware specifications and that the multiplatform games (Xbox360-PS3-Wii U) look worse on Wii U.
The problem is that Wii U is still to prove that is superior to Xbox 360 or PS3. There are not detailed hardware specifications and the multiplatform games look worse on Wii U because they are rushed. Given all of that, do people think Wii U is expensive? Yes, they do.
@Gate_Shikimuri You clever guy I mistook DSi for 3DS. I didn't even transfer DSi data to 3DS but 3DS data to a 3DS XL. So, this should be my message:
When transferring data from 3DS to 3DS XL you were only able to transfer all data. The Wii U manual describes exactly the same procedure, so most probably you will only have the choice to transfer everything from Wii to Wii U. That or transferring nothing. That's it.
@ Everybody. When transferring data from DSi to 3DS you were only able to transfer all data. The Wii U manual describes exactly the same procedure, so most probably you will only have the choice to transfer everything from Wii to Wii U. That or transferring nothing. That's it.
Nintendo says it is unwholesome so Nintendo fans say it is unwholesome. If Nintendo charged for DLC on Animal Crossing Nintendo fans would say it is absolutely justified.
Yes, Orla, I played the original in Master System II and that version is much better than the Game Gear one. So do yourself a favour and buy it on WiiWare in case you are interested in it, guys.
@angelwhispers_ I agree, to me 4 launch titles per system seems a bit too optimist. @Wowfunhappy Respected analyst? Not many people think the way you do to be honest.
Why do you Nintendo Life keep on writing pieces of news about everything that this so-called analyst Patcher says, when it is proved that he is not serious at all? Actually I think he earns more money with advertising related to his controversial sayings and you are making him richer with this free and undeserved advertising.
@Phle I've already agreed with you on my previous message but I still believe you can do better things like... SOMETHING! And in case he only cares about games and nothing else in the world he could still spend some time playing that Wii he wanted so badly.
Don't be innocent, this is just about acting weird and getting attention.
@LuigiMan200 Not really, they didn't get it with Nintendo 3DS. They said they learnt from the past. Now I know that it only means to have a New Super Mario Bros. at launch. Don't get me wrong, I love Mario, but the New series is not good and is getting worse (NSMB2).
@sinalefa Because we should be able to choose and to have every possible option. If the games are made bring them on. Of course new games are also needed but why ignore the already existing games? Didn't they come to Gamecube anyway?
@Grodus Some people go to their parents's or friends's place and they use their Wii Remotes there. @Burning_Spear Thanks for checking. Do you remember when you bought it?
Each RE is worse, don't deny it. I love the series but they have to bring quality back as they did with Revelations. 65 reviews of RE6 and it gets 67%. We know that for being a major franchise that mark means it's not a good game.
@SCAR392 I bought the 15 min Energizer charger when it was released, at 90€. I assure you that the fast cycle charges end up killing any brand of batteries. Years later I bought a regular Energizer charger (model Compact) and it works good on the batteries.
@Burning_Spear I read your comment before but you say 'I bought one a few months ago, and I kind of remember seeing that and thinking it was a nice improvement'. So you bought it and you don't know if it features the new design??
I also leave the sleeves on. What's wrong with this idea (sync button outiside)? I think it's great. I would like to know if the current black Wii Remote Plus have this design already.
Of course both RE5 and RE6 should be on Wii U. It doesn't make any sense not to release them. It's one of Capcom's major franchises and one that actually gets exclusive entries for Nintendo consoles. So again, what's the point in not releasing the multiplatform ones? I love all pre 5 RE and also REvelations by the way.
@ThomasBW84 Scenario b, you upgrade from Wii U Basic to Wii U Premium to enjoy full Nintendo online services so you are already paying. Then should we have to pay again for playing Call of Duty? We should pay only once and each company get its part of the profits.
If the servers are from Nintendo it doesn't make much sense but if the servers are from EA it does. In between do you have to pay for an Origin account and if so would you also have to pay for a premium Nintendo account if you upgrade from Nintendo Basic Pack? So many questions in the air...
I REALLY hope digital downloads from Nintendo-published games such as the recently released Mario Open Tennis are very low. The prices are ridiculous expensive in Europe (45€!) and we need a change of mind from Nintendo.
The first question is so difficult to answer. I don't agree with the issues explained and of course I think this should not happen at all, but all the devices nowadays are made in China. If it's cheaper that way okay, but make sure nobody suffers in the process. The suicide fact is unacceptable. Although this world needs a real change because it seems that the only thing that matters is money, little steps are really important too. Again, mass media are the only way to give ethics back to this sick world. Silence is coward and selfish.
Hey, is this true or just wrong information? If this is true I can tell Nintendo is crazy and we are going to be its stupid customers. The GamePad is expensive and has a lot of features, that is cool because it comes with the console and we are going to have lots of fun with it. But then we are told that the built-in microphone is useless. Oh, wait, this sucks... And did you say Nintendo is taking online gaming seriously? Really?
Do you know what? I won't read this. I am tired of websites giving credit to a person who is so bad at his job. It's their fault this man still exists on the media.
Actually no need to hate anybody who is not doing any harm. This is just another curiosity piece of news, that's it. Sometimes I click on them and sometimes I just ignore them.
Prices for downloads in Europe are ridiculously expensive. Download codes could be an easy solution but there are none of them around. Can you charge 45€ per game? Yes, you can. No, we don't like.
I don't know the big deal about $10/10€ pre orders selling out. Christmas is going to be the first chance to test Wii U success. But as said earlier by iphys for PS360 owners there is nothing to get excited about, while for Nintendo lovers there is not a great game at launch.
People are starting to think of New Super Mario Bros. as watered-down Mario games, that's Nintendo's fault. New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a mediocre game and a bad Mario game with all its might.

Re: You'll Need To Update Your Wii U To Play Wii Games
They should include the most recent OS update in every bluray-like Wii U disc. As they did in DVD-like Wii discs.
If you buy Wii U next year it will have a more recent OS update built-in, as it happened in the newer Wiis.
Re: Wii to Wii U Data Transfer Details Emerge
@RetroGBHippie92 Wii will never be pointless because Wii U is not Gamecube controllers nor games compatible (unless you own a Wii Family Pack).

Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Running Onto The Japanese eShop

Re: Nintendo Download Sales Increase With 3DS
Nintendo Life: 'We wouldn't say that these figures represent a huge success, but they're undoubtedly moving in the right direction'.
And I wish they were much worse so they do not charge us 45€ per download + 8€ for a few more levels. Ridiculous expensive.
