And you guys thought a remake of FFVII using real-time graphics instead of prerendered, but in the same artistic style, would be impossible... I mean just LOOK at this!
Here's what Elliot Quest offers over psyscrolr: a FAR superior soundtrack.
Don't mind the pixelated looks for games though, think FEZ is among the best looking as far as that style goes... what I'm more concerned about is the game actually being good when it releases.
Right now what I'm debating is whether or not selling my already collectors' item-quality copy of XBC Wii for a digital or even physical NN3DS version is even worth it. They should at least attempt a cross-buy promotion offer for those lucky to own the Wii game... XP
@wiiuprotacker14 My beef with Watch Dogs isn't how it looks... it's far too much like other Ubisoft titles being ported to the Wii U, on the count of them being too lazy to shell out the cash for something like a follow up to Rayman Legends...
At this rate all the major 3rd party franchises of the world will once again become mutually exclusive to a single brand of console... I'm sure this is all a ploy to get back at Nintendo for creating too many successful franchises.
Karen Halloran: Hardcore gaming alter ego of actress Karen Gillan. XDDD
Now getting serious here... If Square Enix could enlist Nintendo to bring a game like Bravely Default to the west and have it sell well over there then I don't see why the same shouldn't happen for FF Explorers.
Night Trap and Sewer Shark both their own as only a couple of the worst Sega CD games ever produced. Even now I'm not surprised that terrible game makers hold Nintendo responsible for their own fauts.
Awesome! I easily got exhausted from attempting to unlock all the trophies in Brawl through repetitive trial and error. This new trophy system will save me a bunch of hours in frustration.
That's good and all to see Puzzles & Dragons sell well, but I've also heard good things about Radiant Historia and Xenoblade, and now that they're both sitting on my shelf I can play them whenever I want, and being long RPG's it's still likely I won't finish them anytime soon. I feel the same will apply to here if I buy P&D. :/
The industry in general doesn't suffer backlash from ignoring Wii, rather a general lack of giving a poopsiedoodlecacadoggiepoopledoodoos about gaming. Please watch the profanity — TBD
I don't see why you need all those unnecessary Myst ports when there's a very reasonably priced and above average adaptation of RealMyst on the App Store.
If this means more Square Enix support for Wii U in the future, I'd be satisfied. But I've a feeling Yoshinori Kitase-kun, the producer of those overhyped new Final Fantasy titles, is secretly laughing diabolically at us behind our backs.
I'm pretty sure there's going to be another patch down the road. The main issue I'm aware of here is Ubisoft management wasn't fully aware that people actually buy this game for Wii U... XD
That mysterious woman in the CG trailer reminds me either of Samus or Quorra from Tron Legacy. Either way I'm glad a small developer's aiming for a little sex appeal to sell a game. ;P
Eh, Vita TV's like a glorified Game Boy Player. And sure, Wii U doesn't have anything like this for 3DS and DS games but I'm sure they'll announce something down the road.
Well then Sega, you've got to stop releasing old outdated poopoodoodoopoopiedookies on a far more powerful platform. (Maybe that's why they lost the rights to Bayonetta 2... )
I think more in the way of a RARE-style partnership than full-on purchase. Atlus's assets, mostly their franchises, seem a bit too large to acquire, one would think.
I would more than guess Team Calibur don't want Link stealing their thunder.
Also, I think the guy who wanted Link on that game is currently working on Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS, which means he likely preferred something different to yet another Soul Calibur.
I PERSONALLY would like to see more 3rd party support along the lines of the 3DS, but that too took at least 2 years to flourish. So repeating history can't be all bad right?
Besides, even if it doesn't look high end, Earthbound just arrived on VC and everyone knows just how big in content and length that game is. Hell I bet that Xbone and PS4 owners want Nintendo going third party because they're jelly about EB not showing up on THEIR systems.
You're asking questions with a lot of open-ended answers, NL (not just on the poll choices either). Those who buy Wii U/3DS are no doubt happy with the ability of using two screens as well as the option to stick with "classic" controls on Wii U's Pro Controller. But those who are afraid of taking chances with Nintendo or innovation in general stick with the Sony/M$ machines. Either way, you're bound to have a lot of negative feedback to dual screen gaming on multiple levels.
As an official supporter of this game ($10 funded) I say this is more awesome than awesome. It will most certainly help the Wii U drought and also looks beyond impressive for a game of this caliber.
I don't mind DLC, I just think the FE team should take it easy with all this new content for those who still have trouble paying for or finishing it all... XP
I really don't care about the small selection shown this year. Bayonetta and Project X both look really good in ways that actually push the Wii U's graphical limits, while Smash Bros. and both Mario titles perfect upon their already-polished predecessors.
DKC Tropical Breeze though? They just kind of added in Dixie and a new enemy (Vikings).
If you're not a big time follower of their franchises I doubt this year will show anything different. Most of their money is geared more toward making their usual business even bigger than announcing any surprises.

Re: Don't Seethe Too Much Over Xbox One Shovel Knight Getting Battletoads, We Might Get A Cool Crossover, Too
I don't really miss Battletoads. I mean that speedbike level... ugh. >_>
If anything I'd say Pit from Kid Icarus or Cranky Kong would make excellent additions.

Re: Review: Watch Dogs (Wii U)
The end of the multiplatform era can't come soon enough... we need more Wii U exclusives like Bayonetta 2 and Devil's Third, pronto.

Re: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Brings Circle Pad Doom in Japan
Can't you just go to options and change the movement setting to D-pad? I find D-pad works much better in Smash Bros games.

Re: Kickstarter Project Opens For Edge of Eternity, Wii U Version On The Cards
It might be a decent game overall when it releases but I'm not really a fan of the character design. A bit too much like old PC RPG's in my opinion.
Re: Shadow of the Eternals is Officially "On Hold"
They should just rename it "Eternal Darkness 2" and get it over with.

Re: Review: Angry Birds Trilogy (Wii U)
Already have this on 3DS. If or when AB Star Wars or some other AB game comes out on Wii U, I'll consider purchasing. XDD
Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies Will Not Be Getting A Boxed Copy in The West
I don't really care. As long as I get a new Phoenix Wright in some form that's at least easy to purchase for me then I'm happy. XDD
