@Vectrex it feels like a holiday title for me but you never know. Nintendo loves to have random drops in their directs "oh yeah, remember Metroid prime 4? We have a release date, and it's next Tuesday with pre orders live now!". Anything can happen lol
Yay...politics... in videos games. I like playing games to avoid real world politics. Hard pass. But super glad we keep pushing violence towards anyone who has a different opinion now a days. 🙄
@MarioBrickLayer I feel the same way. I really want more info, but give it its own direct and not take awy from all the other, hopefully glorious announcements.
I feel some people here aren't reading the article. 35% are still interested in developing for the system, 18% are actively developing. This is a poor metric to follow if you have studios who recently launched games and are between game development. If you look at the sheer number of switch games that are on the system, it has a library you would have to take years to play through. All this really tells us is devs are focused on technology and porting games from ps5/series x is much tougher than ps4/xbone. This could be another sign they know something we don't. If nintendo were to announce a new system let's say end of this year or even new year 2024 for a 2024/25 release, im pretty sure they would be reaching out and want dev kits in hands sooner than later. Take it how you will though.
Awesome collection. Also I wouldn't be so quick to jump on people about not playing games. As a collector I have all my games nice and stored, but I play them. As for unopened mint games, If I come across one sealed for instance I will leave it that way, but still hunt it down opened to play with or in many cases just play a rom or digital version.
I grow weary of these articles. All the girls I know who are gamers play these types of games and enjoys them. This may be a shock... but this game doesn't portray women, they are anime characters.
Holy whiners Batman. Some people are just never happy. If the last bunch of directs were for Wii U then people would complain about the lack of 3DS support. Take a friggan chill pill. The Wii U is not being ignored or forgotten.
Great to see more real gamer girls out there, other than the ones who pretend to seem cool in front of guys. My GF is a big gamer and collector like me, so it works out well
Square-enix has been rubbish post FFX, after the merger. If they didn't keep pumping out boring console games and throwing all their efforts in mobile gaming, maybe they wouldn't be in this predicament/
This game is really great. I find it bullcrap that it gets negative on a review for not having off-screen play. That should not factor into the game experience AT ALL. The jumping mechanic is slightly off , but otherwise it's a great experience. Intelligently written and executed. Backtracking doesn't bother me. I grew up in the era of PC point and click adventures and backtracking was always something you had to do. Don't be lazy people. Try the game!
I love this game. I love Mario Kart, but as a lifelong Sega fanboy... this is it. It brought back so many memories and It's a solid, fun racer to boot.
@BestBuck123 picked up my NES in 1988 and still own every system as an avid gamer and collector. I disagree that Nintendo has only catered to casuals. While the Wii wasn't as great as I hoped, they did a fantastic job getting the Nintendo brand in more households than ever, and I totally expect them to redeem themselves with the Wii U and the core gamer.
Anyone else tired of Peter? Why is he treated like a gaming deity? Black and White...Fable...Yeah clearly the most amazing developer of all time. No one cares what you have to say.
I'd like to say Wow...way to bash a game before you played it. The original Tomb Raider games are classics and the direction the new one is taking looks awesome. I'd love to see the new one in the Wii U
Obviously you dont Know what your talking about. Vita isn't failing because of the mobile gaming industry. Vita is failing due to having No support. I have one and I have it on craigslist. PSP is getting tons of new games over in Japan and no developers are supporting the Vita. Even less western devs are supporting it. 3DS is the fastest selling system of all time. Do your research before posting.
This argument is dumb. Handheld gaming is not going away or suffering from mobile gaming. I love my android but outside of Kairosoft games I don't game on it since most of it is crap. The mobile gaming crowd is much different from the regular gaming crowd. All the people I know that play games for hours on smartphones are people who AREN'T gamers. This his a whole demographic and you can't compare casual mobile game players with real gamers
I don't think it will kill support, Epic Games isn't going to spend resources porting a game engine to a system they most likely won't develop for. I don't think this will effect any support. If the system is as easy to scale as they say then I don't think any dev will have a problem making it work for them. Just my 2 cents.
@Brando67854321 Your assuming Epic Games will be making games for the Wii U...which they most likely won't. So why should they scale UE4 to Wii U standards? I don't blame them. I am happy to hear that it will be scale-able to the Wii U though, even if it isn't a huge upgrade over UE3 it will be better! Bring it on!...now how about we see that new Square Enix engine running on Wii U...

Re: Wait, Did Square Enix Just Tease A Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster?
My question would be, remaster or remake? Honestly I'd take either. War if the Lions was almost perfect (shakes fist at terrible slowdown in battles).

Re: Climax Studios Is Bringing RiftStar Raiders To The Nintendo Switch
This looks great. Reminds me of Armada back on the Dreamcast. That was a great game.

Re: Turns Out Destiny Could Be Coming To The Wii U After All
@LiamR
I was under the impression its all connected, as in someone on the PC could play with someone on the 360 and so on.

Not specifically talking about this review. Other reviews, and gamers have been complaining about it.

Re: Nintendo Direct: Watch The Wii U Direct Presentation Live
I'm on my Wii U. I think they switched to HTML5 , I watched the last direct here on my Wii U.
Re: Rumour: Capcom Is Bringing Its Arcade Classics To 3DS And Wii U eShop
@Brando they said the remake isn't, but there was a good article about the new Darkstalkers title coming out on it.
Re: Mass Effect Trilogy Could Yet Come To Wii U
I'm actually more excited by the thought of future bioware projects than just the ME Trilogy
Re: Talking Point: Time for Wii U to Treat Us Like Adults
A friend of mine in the UK said that Germany has really stringent laws which is why the European eShop has the lockout.

Re: Feature: Nintendo's Wii U Hype Machine
@BestBuck123 It's clear your not a core Nintendo fan then.
Re: Feature: Nintendo's Wii U Hype Machine
@Mahe instead of being a downer. Go join the Microsoft or Sony forums and leave real Nintendo fans alone.

Re: French Firm Recycles SNES Consoles With a Unique Twist
This cannot be justice by a collector.. unless you collect after market modified system . As a collector this adds No value to a system at all.
Re: GameStop Kids Store Launches, 80 More Planned

Re: Feature: Reinventing Nintendo's Major Franchises on Wii U
The SNES housed all of this and more. Make Wii U the next SNES and bring every Nintendo IP out. No one will stand a chance against the Juggernaut.

Bahhh! Want it now...Oh well...still enjoying Code of Princess at the moment and Wii U next month
Re: Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion Will Make Its Way To The eShop
Still getting this...but releasing it on the Wii U launch day is stupid. Sadly if this turns out as good as I hope..it will still get over shadowed
