@XFsWorld Assault Horizon on PS3 is completely different. That is a reboot and completely different from the other AC games. This, despite the name similarity to the PS3 title, is a remake of Ace Combat 2.
I'm really excited about this. I loved the original Ace Combat 2, when I heard about this remake getting a update in Japan I didn't expect it in the west, especially not this soon. Great news!
I was waiting for this game to get along with a New 3DS XL(don't have a (2/3)DS, nor XC for Wii), but looking at my backlog the second of April might be a bit too soon...
The gams has potential, but looking closer at the screenshots also shows they've got some work to do too. Let's hope there's more variety in the enviroments for the final product.
Wow, this looks like it could come close to being the worst game movie , finally beating DOA. Now, if only Mario will be played by Owen Wilson I'll be 100% sure. And then kids who saw the movie will be disappointed by the games that don't look enough like the movies and have the wrong voices for the characters.
@Peach64 It may be outsold by a two year old FIFA, but it is the latest FIFA on Wii U and (the latest) FIFA games always keep selling well. That being said it did sell horribly and that is due to the price and publicity. You can get any of the other versions of the game for half the price of the Wii U version and there has been no publicity for it. They should've promoted it for the holidays(for all platforms) and made a special mention of the Wii U version launch.
I own the NSMB U, but not the Wii game. I don't like those Nintendo selects covers(nor the PS/Xbox alternatives), so I'm looking for the original release.
For new releases I'm hoping 2016 will be the year of 3D platformers, because I'll be done with the 2D kind after the overkill of the last few years and 2015.
The Vita is a great handheld, it's just that Sony did absolutely nothing for it. If it wasn't for the cheaper development compared to consoles and popularity of handhelds in Japan it wouldn't be sold anymore.
From my point of view Sony is a shadow of it's former self. Their first party games have been on steady downward spiral to shallow interactive movie experiences and away from their gaming core. That's why I got a Wii U, because it has games that are meant to be played, not just experienced.
I get the delay because of Captain Toad. But close to 6 months for a Kirby platformer seems ridiculous. Does this game have tons of text or speech? Now it might land in the middle of Yoshi's Wooly World's release. I guess that means that game will be pushed back 6 months in PAL territories too.
@BLPs It has to go through quality control by either SEGA, Nintendo or both and apparently they didn't do a very good job.
Obviously, it's not the first Sonic game with major bugs. But as a exclusive for Nintendo this does not do the WiiU much good that the biggest exposure this game gets is because of the glitches and bugs.
I don't like to install mandatory patches to play singleplayer. That just means it was rushed and not giving proper care before release and I really don't feel like buying the game anymore.
I played the first one and except for some decent platforming sections it's one of the worst games I played in years. I don't like the new Pacman cartoons, but even one episode of that has more plot than P-MatGA.
Diddy Kong looks even more like he is carved from wood than Donkey Kong's amiibo. Not getting that one either. I really hope they make a good Wario one or I'll just skip this fad.
I'm only getting Bayonetta 2. I might get Sonic Boom & Captain Toad down the road, but I'm cautious about those two. They might not be quite up my alley.

Re: Project Treasure Is Bandai Namco's Wii U Exclusive Free-To-Play Co-Op Action Game
SInce it's free-to-play, I'm confident it's nothing worth caring for.
Also, NamcoBandai, I want Pokken Fighters!

Need to get the Fox amiibo to fly that plane!
Re: Wii Disc Software Heading to the Wii U eShop
I hope they use what they learned here to make the Gamepad a controller in Wii mode so I can play my disc games with it.

@joey302 Rush Rush Rally Racing is a topdown WiiWare racing games only released in Europe: http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/667039-rush-rush-rally-racing/images
I'd never heard of it either.
The gams has potential, but looking closer at the screenshots also shows they've got some work to do too. Let's hope there's more variety in the enviroments for the final product.
Re: Rumour: New Nintendo 3DS To Launch In Europe Next Week
@Ony I wouldn't be surprised to see the New 3DS XL sold for 250 euro's. At lot of European retailers are still selling the original 3DS XL for 220.
Re: Rumour: New Nintendo 3DS To Launch In Europe Next Week
That looks like the Australian box with a euro price sticker put on it.
Re: This Fan-Made Facelift Of The Original Paper Mario On The Nintendo 64 Looks Stunning
I like that the bushes in the facelift actually have less detail on them than in the original.
Re: Poll: Fake Wave 4 amiibo Images Make Us Dream of More Figures
Wow, people here really don't care about Wario
Re: Review: My Life on a Farm 3D (3DS eShop)
I smiled at the look of the game, then I saw the price and started laughing.
Re: Miyamoto: We Are Working On Ideas For The Next Nintendo System
If you read it well, he doesn't say anything about not releasing one or more Mario games on Wii U before that new sytem comes around.
Re: Feature: Time to Vote For Your Game of the Year Awards 2014
It's hard to make a choice. I voted for Bayonetta 2 but there are a few great games in the list I haven't bought yet.
Re: Sony Pictures Is In Negotiations With Nintendo To Make A Super Mario Movie
Wow, this looks like it could come close to being the worst game movie , finally beating DOA. Now, if only Mario will be played by Owen Wilson I'll be 100% sure. And then kids who saw the movie will be disappointed by the games that don't look enough like the movies and have the wrong voices for the characters.
Re: Feature: Five Reasons To Choose Nintendo 3DS This Holiday Season
One reason I'm not buying a 3DS this holiday season: The New 3DS.
Re: Nintendo and Philips Sign Global Patent License Agreement to Resolve Dispute Over Wii Technology
My Wii U is next to a Philips device, I'm glad that's now no longer a controversial decision.
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Facing Potential Error Code Nightmare
It's like a Super Smash for Wii U
Re: Review: Disney Planes: Fire & Rescue (Wii U)
Too bad, I was hoping this would be a budget arcade flight sim.
Re: Review: Snake Den (Wii U eShop)
I recently made my own Snake game for fun, maybe I should port it to the Wii U and ask $3 for it.
Re: Dear Nintendo, Please Let The Next Wario Land Title Look As Gorgeous As This
It looks rather good, like the earlier Wario Land games. But it doesn't look as good as Shake It.
Re: Review: Watch Dogs (Wii U)
@Damo No, but the running has about the same framerate as the driving in Watch Dogs, so that's a good thing. It does have boats though.
Re: Review: Watch Dogs (Wii U)
It's about 2 fps worse than Black Flag, yet that got a 8/10...
Re: Weirdness: This Back To The Future-Style VR Hoverboard Game Uses The Wii Fit Balance Board
I did see a Balance Board very cheap a while ago. I'll see if I can find it so I can try it on my PC too.
Re: Teslagrad to Arrive at Retail on Wii U in Early 2015
@Punished_Boss_84 I've already seen it for sub 30 prices, but it had a release date this year so I was hoping to get it around Christmas.
Re: Review: Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (Wii U)
Final score of the Nintendo Sonic deal: 5,6/10 (5,1/10 based on the aggregate websites). I somehow hope Nintendo get's their money back.
Re: Sonic Boom Wii U And 3DS Both Stall Outside Of The UK Multiformat Top 40
@Peach64 It may be outsold by a two year old FIFA, but it is the latest FIFA on Wii U and (the latest) FIFA games always keep selling well.

Re: Review: Tetris Ultimate (3DS)
Don't see why anyone would buy this as they can play Tetris on pretty much any device anytime, anywhere for free.
Re: Weirdness: Mario Kart Becomes A Temporary Reality In Tokyo
That first picture is rather unfortunate with mario's right hand held up(and the object in his hand obscured).
Re: Lucario amiibo Confirmed as a Toys "R" Us Exclusive in US
Will be great news for fans of those characters who don't have the specific store nearby.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii Hits 10 Million Sales Mark In The US
I own the NSMB U, but not the Wii game. I don't like those Nintendo selects covers(nor the PS/Xbox alternatives), so I'm looking for the original release.

Re: Video: Watch Us Merrily Cause Some Havoc In Watch Dogs On Wii U
I'm like most people who are interested in picking this up. I will get it in a month or two for next to nothing.

Re: Andy Murray Drops Mario Kart For Sudden Djokovic Tennis Match
Funny, I was playing Mario Tennis Open when I received a call from Lewis Hamilton for a kart racing exhibition match.
Re: Kirby And The Rainbow Curse For Wii U Releases In North America On 13th February
I get the delay because of Captain Toad. But close to 6 months for a Kirby platformer seems ridiculous. Does this game have tons of text or speech?
Now it might land in the middle of Yoshi's Wooly World's release. I guess that means that game will be pushed back 6 months in PAL territories too.
Re: Sonic Boom Exploit Allows Players to Skip Large Sections of the Game
@BLPs
It has to go through quality control by either SEGA, Nintendo or both and apparently they didn't do a very good job.
Obviously, it's not the first Sonic game with major bugs. But as a exclusive for Nintendo this does not do the WiiU much good that the biggest exposure this game gets is because of the glitches and bugs.

Will coincide nicely with my purchase of a New3DS.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Shows Some Wuhu Island Madness Coming to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
I don't care about SSB, but seeing this makes me want a new Wii U Pilotwings and Wave Race even more.
Re: Review: Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 (Wii U)
I played the first one and except for some decent platforming sections it's one of the worst games I played in years. I don't like the new Pacman cartoons, but even one episode of that has more plot than P-MatGA.
Re: Poll: Buying Bayonetta 2 - eShop Convenience or Battling for Copies in Stores?
I used the website of a retail store to pre-order the first print edition and got it a day before the official release.

Is there a FFB wheel available for Wii U yet?
Re: Capcom Won't Greenlight Sequels If A Game Doesn't Sell Over Two Million Copies
Capcom, just quit and give up. This is worse than being bought or just quitting all together.
Re: Gallery: A Closer Look at the Six New amiibo Figures
Diddy Kong looks even more like he is carved from wood than Donkey Kong's amiibo. Not getting that one either. I really hope they make a good Wario one or I'll just skip this fad.

Re: First Image Of Wii U Wipeout-Beater FAST Racing NEO Speeds Into View
Nintendo should pick this up for a disc release. If we can't get a F-Zero game this would be a good alternative.
Re: Watch Dogs Wii U Release Dates Confirmed
@Shiryu I thought LEGO City Undercover was the Wii U's GTA.
Re: From the Forum: To Buy or Not to Buy? SPIKEY WALLS Fires Debate as Developer Defends Project
@Yorumi Ever heard of China? The copy everything from cars to paintings.
I just hope the people who buy this are getting a good clone with at least a few new ideas to keep the formula fresh.
