Re: Nintendo Reports Losses for Q1 of Financial Year, With Variable Hardware Results

ToniK

MK8 is obviously a success. On the other hand, it can't sell infinitely while there are only 7 million Wii Us out there. It really starts to seem there is quite limited demand for a console like Wii U. No need for doom 'n' gloom, it is a great console but it is what it is. Can't see Smash Bros. changing it at this point and that is quite frankly their last resort. MK8 only gave a moderate boost which lasted for 2 weeks and that was it.

Skyward Sword didn't sell that well so I don't think the mainstream audience is that interested in the next installment. It's just us. Metroid was never that big in the first place. Metroid Prime may be the best game ever made but the sales were humble. So even if they officially announced a new Metroid it wouldn't change a thing.

So, we have a great console with great games that is not selling and won't sell in the future. We'll deal with it. I can't wait for the new Zelda and Project Zero and whatnot!

Re: Nintendo Download: 24th July (North America)

@invictus4000 I seriously didn't know we already had this in Europe. Downloaded it instantly. A 7-year-old me once struggled with this and I need to show who's the boss some twenty years later
Edit. Blaster Master is what I'm talking about.

Re: Areal Campaign Suspended By Kickstarter

ToniK

Now they have a donation website. It would be really sad if they were in fact for real and now it's ruined I'm not saying they are but in these internet times it's sometimes next to impossible to get reliable info and when the snowball starts rolling...

Re: Master Reboot to Arrive on the Wii U eShop on 24th July

ToniK

Metacritic says 59 on PC and 62 on PS3. Seems like a game that has its flaws but if you're gonna like it you're gonna like it. The price is a bit steep but I'm gonna purchase this, either full-priced or from a sale. Looks great and if they gave it a makeover it would be awesome. Probably not though.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Still Competing in Nordic Region Charts, Tomodachi Life Never Has

ToniK

Finland is a Playstation zone, that's why. As a person in my late twenties I'm the only one I know who has a 3DS and the U. Kids are probably busy playing with tablets and teenagers and adults exclusively play NHL, GTA, CoD, Gran Turismo and some other random "mature" themed games. Well, you can see the list, it's pretty accurate.

Personally, I was never interested in Tomodachi Life. It seems like a social game and being a Nintendo gamer in Finland is not a social thing. It's quite lonely.

Re: Sony: PS4 Is "Welcoming Back" Wii Owners Who Skipped PS3 And 360 Last Gen

ToniK

Well, I'm not "coming back" since I've never owned a Sony or Microsoft console before but I am planning on getting a PS4 at the end of this year. And yeah, I'm happy about the TLOU remastered. So in my case he's quite right.

Edit. Oh, and the point was that I was totally a Wii owner for some years. Played dozens of games.

Re: Kotaku Says YES to the Wii U - Rejoicing Begins

ToniK

I've actually never visited their site. I did after reading this and will never do it again. The comment section was HOSTILE. Nintendo Life may not be Miiverse either but at least most people here are sensible and the overall atmosphere is friendly and mostly constructive even when dealing with serious subjects. I'm happy here.

Re: Stats Suggest That UK Kids Are More Likely To Game On A Tablet Than A Nintendo 3DS

ToniK

The lack of buttons is the biggest issue but also the superficiality and shallowness of the games on android devices is what keeps me away from them. Even the most console-like experiences lack all the depth of real console and pc games. Dead Space was okay but mostly "pick this up and then go to next checkpoint". Not to mention the countless Slendy and other games that rely solely on cheap scares. Tablets and phones are great for puzzle games but that's it.

Re: Review: How to Survive (Wii U eShop)

ToniK

The price seems a bit steep but I'd really like to give this a chance. It somehow seems really charming to me, don't know why. Half off the price and I'm sold. I'm still quite deep in the MK8 vortex but in a few weeks I might check this out.

Re: Nintendo Executive Suggests Wii U is at a "Tipping Point" Towards Success

ToniK

Yes, I think Wii U still has a small chance to be a moderate success. Either way, I have enjoyed my Wii U like there is no tomorrow and it is probably my all-time favorite console. I still have many things to look forward to and if I need some of those immature "mature" titles, I will buy a PS4 or a pc. Which I probably will. But I've been satisfied and busy with this console and while I hope long life and prosper for the U, I and the other Wii U owners will have a decent amount of quality games which in the end is the most important thing to us as customers. Ok, off to Mario Kart then

Re: Eiji Aonuma Vows to Reduce Hand-Holding in Future Zelda Installments

ToniK

That's fine. SS is my favorite Zelda but it did have excessive hand-holding at times. What bugs me though is that people still consider OoT pretty much flawless while some of its "puzzles" were unfair and stupid. "Oh, you're doing the exact right thing but you stand an inch off so go ahead and think of something else and wander through Hyrule for hours." Yeah, wasn't too fond of that game. It started a lot of beautiful things but every single Zelda after that has been better in my opinion. I want content instead of confusion and content did SS offer.

Re: Bayonetta Download Code Included With Retail and eShop Copies of Bayonetta 2

ToniK

Fine by me. Actually, I kinda like having at least SOME games on my hard drive. I buy retail 'cause the awful pricing of euro eShop but don't mind having these freebies on hd. And people low on space: you can always re-download everything, so as a last resort you can delete some content you're not playing at the time. Just keep the save files if you want.
