Collecting every Wii requires all PAL and other regions exclusives too. You can't have an article title saying someone has collected every Wii game, then mention at the bottom he only collected all US releases.
"we should remember, of course, that Nintendo's system came out a year before Microsoft's." We should also remember that the Wii U came out a year before the PS4 too, but it still outsold the Wii U by over 400%.
@Kirk Listen, the Rift is not a console-like device. It's just the monitor. A lot of people interested in the Rift already have the console, the controllers, the works. They just need the monitor/TV. And at lot of people don't like to be forced to buy a controller and other periperals along with their TV, especially when they already own those or just don't want them(on a side note: the PS4 and 360 controllers are actually preferred by most gamers over the X1 one). And the Rift isn't the only TV available either. Optionally selling those along with it is fine, but forcing it on every single costumer is just backstabbing their supporters. If they want to make it a self-sustaining platform, they can just release an add-on(like the touch controllers thankfully are now) or a seperate release. It will always work as a device for the PC, and a lot of people don't want the other platform-based BS forced down their throat. Facebook may have their own ideas for it, but most of the early adapters aren't interested.
@Kirk Just because some people need/like a new controller and some of the other unnecessary Rift extra's, doesn't mean they should be forced on all costumers. An optional barebones kit could've saved easily over 150 dollars(including shipping). Most of the early adopters already have a Rift compatible PC. My PC isn't a up-to-date 2016 monster PC, but was still fully compatible with the Rift requirements, so the only cost was the Rift. But I just want the glasses and cables, the other stuff is garbage to me.
@Kirk I really dislike that they force that controller on Rift consumers. It just increases the price of the set, and most gamers already have one or something they like better. It should've been an optional extra.
@Bolt_Strike Even so, playing with a controller works great in VR too. It's so much more immersive seeing Mario right there in front of you and looking around by moving your head instead messing around with an analog stick.
"focused on glasses that could make 2D images appear 3D (which is sort of how Google Cardboard works) ". No, it isn't, Google Cardboard displays two 2D scenes, one on the left and one on the right side of the screen(with lenses to increase the screen size for our eyes) to give a 3D effect, with headmovement detection from motion sensors moving the camera's inside the apps/games , just like all of the other VR headsets.
900p? That doesn't make sense for a home console or handheld. It should be cheaper to produce a 1080p handheld screen, because those are already being mass-produced.
I voted for Legend Of Legacy because it looked the most interesting. I've excluded Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight (Europe) & Bravely Second: End Layer (Europe) because I want to play the previous entries of those series first.
The Wii U version is still mentioned on the Japanese Nintendo release list, but not for February like the 3DS version. It just has a general 2016 release next to it.
If I ever consider buying a German car, I'll buy a BMW instead thanks to these horrible additions to games that should be as far removed as possible from realworld brands.
It's Microsoft and once they know their software will sell much better on other hardware than their own, they will release it on those platforms. Though it's probably more likely to release on 3DS or it's successor because it won't compete directly with the XB1.
Really didn't expect that gun to show up. Looks great, but I wouldn't prefer it over a screen above or in between the controller part. If you have bigger fingers you'll obscure a large part of the screen and miss vital details.
I hope they're not stupid enough to make that an integral part of the console or even just the online experience. Because that would disqualify the console for gamers with slow or no internet.
Instead filling up the loading times with other stuff, they should work on reducing the loading times. Most long loading times are bad programming/optimising.
So, November sucked for Nintendo releases(in Europe), but December will be great.
I have the LE pre-ordered, but I won't be playing it anytime soon as I've yet to play the first XC. But I don't want to cancel the LE as it's already sold out in most shops.
I'm feeling a bias towards SSB, someone forced to play this game against his will while he wanted to play SSB so much, so I can't take the review completely serious.

Re: SEGA 3D Classics Collection is Heading to Retail in the Americas on 26th April
I guess I'll have to import it once they retire the 3DS and region free exploits will no longer be closed down.

Re: Editorial: Nintendo and Virtual Reality Aren't a Good Fit in 2016
@Kirk I'm calling BS on Palmer's statement. It does add to price, and adds weight increasing shipping costs(which are very high, especially abroad).

@RupeeClock It might've been deleted because slope can also be interpreted as an insult for Asians.

@LetsGoChamp That goes for some other themes and items too and they did translate them to the original SMB.

Re: Microsoft Gets Cute About Possible Rare Replay Release On Wii U
It's Microsoft and once they know their software will sell much better on other hardware than their own, they will release it on those platforms. Though it's probably more likely to release on 3DS or it's successor because it won't compete directly with the XB1.

@link70222 Or it's such a terrible port they didn't even bother changing it between versions.
Re: Mercedes Arrives in Super Mario Maker With a Course and Mystery Mushroom Outfit
Ingame advertisement shouldn't be in a Super Mario game. And if you add a Mercedes to a game it should be the Formula 1 car.
