Probably just AC4. It's awesome and so much better than AC3. Maybe also some agonizing pain that is getting better times in AiRace Speed. I love that game but god do I hate that game.
Wanted to see some gameplay so watched a video on youtube. That was hilarious in a painful way. The textures looked like they were from '97 and the animations and effects.... yeah. Can't see why they bother.
I consider this the best Zelda ever made. It got a lot of hate when it came out and I do understand some of it but still don't agree. One of the highlights of my gaming "career" for sure To each one's own I guess.
It's sad to realize yet again that these games don't really interest me that much. I will probably need to get excited about some of them until PS4 gets a price drop and some interesting games. I still haven't bought 3D world or W101 so maybe the backlog will keep me busy.
Still looking forward to this and I don't care about graphics but it's pretty obvious they had to tone it down. The first footage we got was a lot darker and shiny whereas this is more in the vein of GTA. Still, I hope this will be good and sell well.
Oh, I didn't even know. It would be nice to experience this via VC some day. Also I think RE2 was on N64 as well. Not sure if worth playing but as a curiosity I might check these forgotten gems out
It seems that many games today include a ton of history or fictional lore. But the thing is, I really can't bother to read it all AC3 was my first Assassin's creed and I was overwhelmed by the amount of data. Mass effect too. Brief pieces of info is cool `a la Metroid Prime but walls of text is just too much. Thankfully it's usually optional to read em all. I just wonder who writes and/or gathers all that stuff.
I guess many publishers are now on hiatus when it comes to Wii U. They wait and see if Smash bros. and Mario Kart will boost the sales and if that happens they will hop onboard again. The install base of PS3 and X360 combined is over 160 million and current gen Sony/Xbone about 10 million. They just don't need the 6 million Wii U gamers now :/
I would like to see more stuff filling the void between small indie (puzzle) games and blockbusters. Like budget games with more content and stories. This indie flood is great and all but hardly offers memorable must-have titles. More like play-and-forget. There are exceptions of course but I've already seen enough platformers with unique art styles. Not trying to sound too harsh, just my two cents
Cool. Stick it to the man looks quite creepy I'm still more excited about that survival horror game Forgotten Memories but I have no idea when it's going to arrive. Psychoz Interactive still has no news about that.
I had some fun once with the DS version of some GH. The extra peripheral was neat. I prefer playing a real one though. Anyways, it's kind of sad to see things shutting down.
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.

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.
