Re: Hardware Review: Wii U

ThePirateCaptain

Any of the critics who complained about the GamePad and Pro Controller feeling too light and cheap were just spewing garbage. They are both very comfortable in terms of weight and ergonomically. That aside, I was very impressed with the toushcreen on the GamePad myself. It is very responsive to light finger presses and I haven't had any problems with it myself.

Re: Feature: Looking Back at Six Years of Wii

Great article Gaz, took me back to some of the great times i've had with my Wii. 2010 was without a doubt one of the most exciting years to be a Nintendo gamer with titles like DKCR and Kirby's Epic Yarn plus the 3DS hype and all. But tripping in Brawl is seriously not that big a deal guys.

Re: Review: Yoshi's Island DS (DS)

ThePirateCaptain

Yeah the original was better, but this is not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. The original has more nostalgia for me but I still enjoyed this game very much. If the SNES Yoshi's Island is a 10/10 this is a 8.5/10 for me.

Re: E3 2012: Your First Look at Super Mario Bros. on Wii U

ThePirateCaptain

I know everyone is getting down on New Super Mario Bros but this already looks like Nintendo is doing new things with the game. The hand drawn backgrounds look nice and the people talking about flying squirrel suits and baby yoshis that balloon up, not to mention the world map has me very excited.

Re: Review: de Blob (Wii)

ThePirateCaptain

Having so much fun with the game right now. I don;t see any major camera issues so far and you can move it if needed so no big deal. I personally like the jump mapped to flicking the remote, it just feels good. The art style is great and the funky jazz tunes are exceptional.
