Another thing- the Wii U doesn't let you play a game (physical or digital) if you delete its update data. What if the Wii U servers shut down and something happens to your update data- will you have to factory reset the device? Will that even fix it? Thankfully the updates aren't mandatory as long as you don't use Wifi.
Games these days are becoming more like long term rentals. I don't even connect my systems to the internet anymore due to the potential abuse of DRM.
I regularly play retro games and don't want any of my discs or even downloads ending up unplayable in the future. It's too bad because the quality of Nintendo software is still high (even with the constant patches and bug fixes).
I think this will be my last generation of game systems.
I'm glad it saved the franchise... but I feel the game is lacking in every department compared to the others (forgettable story, lame music and the characters are especially annoying and stereotypically boring). Hopefully If will be better.
For those worried about the difficulty, you can fail most of the missions and still complete the game (iirc). Still prefer Mega Man X for its fairness though.
What a bad review, did you seriously complain about the cutscenes? Would you rather have boring text boxes over full CG movies from the console title that, although compressed, look awesome?
Anyway this game is awesome and more challenging than any Mario title.
OK I just downloaded it and have to say... it's the best Yu-Gi-Oh game ever.
I don't understand any of the criticism, it's exactly what you'd want in a TCG video game.
All the cards are unlocked at the beginning- no lame starter decks or stupid virtual "card collecting" (which isn't nearly as satisfying as the real packs), plenty of pre-made decks that are fun and easy to use, plus you can play as Zexal characters OR your own avatar, and there are even options to adjust the difficulty. The story isn't up to par with the DS games but I really didn't enjoy having to walk around and explore to advance the story and thankfully there aren't any gimmicky tag duels.
The only downsides are the lack of multiplayer (but that's what the cards are for, the video games are more about playing against the computer when you can't find a duel in real life) and the lack of physical release in North America.

Re: Weirdness: You Can Buy About 300 Copies of Jurassic Park on SNES for $1500
This is actually a good game, the soundtrack is outstanding- but I don't think I need 300 copies of it!
Re: Review: Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue & White (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
Love Battle Network, the battle system and chip collecting is just so fun.
6 is my favourite.

Re: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Claims Second in NPD Charts
Glad to see FIFA 15 beat that overrated Bayonetta game!
Re: FIFA 15
Still playing 13 on Wii U- it was great and didn't deserve the dumb criticism it got.
Re: Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley Set to Bloom on NA Store Shelves This 4th November
I wasn't very impressed with A New Beginning, so I'm happy to see it resembles the classic Harvest Moon art style a little more.
