Well, there is nothing Nintendo can do about it if this guy wants to do the whole game. He will not benefit from it but it would be downloadable and playable forever. The internet, you know...
It's cool. Things need to change every now and then and you're bound to disappoint someone every single time you change something. That's just the way it is. I like the new design and I'm one of the original Sonic fans and Knuckles was my favorite in the early 90's Sure he's different now but I don't take that as a personal insult.
I'm still to beat Wind Waker, started playing ZombiU again and also waiting Batman Origins and Lego City Undercover to arrive so I guess I'm good That Cube Tactics could be interesting though.
Oh yeah, Virtue's Last Reward and AiRace Speed are incompleted as well. Both bought from sale and totally worth it although VLR is not quite as captivating as I thought.
I was surprised how addicting this actually was. Behind the extremely clunky controls it's a pretty nice and simple multiplayer experience. I'm usually not interested in multiplayer at all. I have my tablet full of different games with real nice graphics and all but I actually prefer Sub Wars. Playing it with full 3D and earphones makes it pretty atmospheric even
@element187 Well, not literally forced but I need to play certain games and I wouldn't consider Xbone, can't afford a PC so PS4 it is. Games like Alien: Isolation and The Evil Within excite me too much to pass So I'm "forced".
Even at this early point it's pretty safe to say that this generation won't be much of a competition. I just hope Wii U will eventually get plenty of games although I'm pretty much forced to buy PS4 at some point for certain games. It's all good though, let's not be too serious about these things, mmmkay?
Indie support is great and all, I just hope it wouldn't be a synonym for side-scrolling pixel art. More games like Forgotten Memories please! Whenever that's coming out...
I think that is really cool but I'm still completely happy with my red 3DS Original. Still looks brand new and shiny. I've just neglected it a bit during the past year. Wii U, you know...
Nintendo already has platformers in 2d and 3d, racing, beat 'em up, third person adventure/action and strategy. What they need is an fps or open world. And I'm not talking about CoD or GTA here. Do it Nintendo style and people will adore you.
Cool game, a bit like a darker Zelda. Did have some AWFUL screen tearing though. It was like playing split screen all the time.
Edit: I was annoyed because it didn't have map on the gamepad but apparently it did. I guess I messed up somehow :/
I've completely missed this game. Wind waker almost completed so downloading this next week maybe. I really want to support Platinum games and buy w101 as well, I just need more money, darn it.
@PrincessEevee9 I sure hope so but that would require some serious install base growth. To me it seems the 3DS version will be a bigger hit worldwide. This is just my own speculation after observing the Wii U situation from the start. I love my Wii U though, it's already my favorite console of all time and the Wii U version of this game probably will be the better one Not sure if it will sell enough consoles though when so many people already have the platform to play this game. Which is 3DS. 43 million of them.
Man, the 3DS version will sell a significant amount of copies. I'm still not hyped because I have never ever played or even tried any Smash Bros. game. Seriously, what's up with that?
I would love to go digital but financially it doesn't make sense at all. The prices in the euro eShop are RIDICULOUS. You can get a retail copy of Arkham City for 10-15 euros, in eShop it's 60 euros. For the price of Wind Waker HD I got a retail copy with the Ganon statue. As long as physical is cheaper I will stay with my discs.
This Mutant Mudds/Treasurenauts thing should be a complete franchise. T-shirts, plushies and stuff. I mean, the visual style is just what you need: simplistic, wacky and quite adorable. Go Renegade Kid!
Nintendo Direct AKA slightly newish info about same old games. Yeah, will check it out anyways but not holding my breath. I want to be wrong but I just don't think they have anything special in their back pockets. Now or in the near future. I'm slowly getting more and more pessimistic, I see.
@WYLD-WOO I think the aiming/crosshair difficulties have also been a factor. If you have the crosshair on level with the screen, you can't really aim because if you look at the crosshair you will see the enemy doubled and vice versa. I guess the only solution is to position the crosshair farther (like Renegade Kid did according to the 3D screenshots) but it will probably still cause some trouble. Still looking forward to this big time. Cult County too.
Yes! If this is as good as it seems it will be day one for me too. I remember some news about gamepad functions being quite basic though. Or maybe I remember wrong. Dunno.
Nice things again. As a citizen of Finland I can just watch you guys ordering this stuff. On Wii I was at least able to gather stars and use them to "buy" WiiWare and Virtual console games. Now I can't even do that.
Or does someone have any ideas? I do have stars on the UK Club Nintendo, I just can't use them.
@rjejr Yes. I really can't understand why they don't come up with more demos. I would think it has a reasonably big impact. Although some demos can put you off like W101 did. I'm sure it's a great game but the demo was not that great. But all in all: more demos please. I'll download every single one of them.
To be honest, I wouldn't have bought the U if it was just an HD console with a regular controller. I've also been completely happy with it. I think the best thing with the original DS' second screen was just the map/inventory thing and the same goes with the gamepad. I HATE "pausing" the game to check the map or inventory. It's so much easier to check the gamepad and/or moving items on the touchscreen. Also stuff like hacking in Deus Ex was awesome and of course ZombiU.
That's all I need and pretty much all I want. To me, there is no problem so I am not too interested in the solution. Maybe I'm just unusual but I definitely love the gamepad and seriously think it's the best thing to happen in gaming in a long time.
I don't really know why I sold my GBA. The display was horrible but I kinda miss it I also had the opportunity to play the games I missed on DS but sold that as well. Well, gotta get with the times I guess
@gatorboi352 Off-topic but I must say Deus Ex: HR made awesome use of the gamepad. Hacking and reading e-mails on the gamepad while keeping eye of your surroundings on the big screen was so great. Solid game all in all.
This is not about one man. Maybe the world around us has just changed and all people want is cinematic and forgettable nonsense. I hope not but sometimes it definitely seems like it. Sigh....
@AJWolfTill Yes! Project Zero 2 was awesome. Actually both PZ2 and SH: Shattered Memories are some of the best horror games I've ever played. Absolutely loved both experiences.
Edit. And I mean the Wii edition of PZ2.
"as Wisdom Tree seems to be stuck in the past in more ways than one." Oh man, did I lol I'm surprised they didn't notice the double slingshot looks exactly like a pentagram.
I loved Dementium 1, 2 and Moon so anything related would be great. Has anyone else thought about the problematic crosshair on 3DS? It probably won't work since you see it doubled if you look at your enemy and vice versa. Maybe laser sight or something would work or just melee weapons like in those Cult County screenshots.
"Missile toss"... doesn't get more bada*s than that! I used to play lots of Track & Field so I kinda have a thing for these kind of games. Although I would worry about the well-being of my controllers The old NES gamepads got so scratched
I have to vote for "2013" in the "Best Year To Be a Gamer" category. Seriously, I've enjoyed this year so much that I almost feel guilty Happy holidays everybody!
Blacklist is totally worth it, I already got it though. Black Flag is tempting as well as Rayman and maybe Duck Tales. Unfortunate that the sale is so short. I'm going abroad and don't really have the money now :/

Re: Nintendo Releases an Extended Gameplay Trailer for Yoshi's New Island
I'm not thrilled about this and I wouldn't pay full price for this. As a budget item or download only this would be just fine.
To me it seems they are targeting the younger demographic and people shouldn't be so harsh and needy
