I thought it was pretty obvious that the T. in "T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas" is a reference to T. Rex. So Could be Tyrannosaurus, or just T. Yoshi even has the same kind of body posture as a T. Rex.
Would love a sequel to Eternal Darkness. That was such a unique experience.
Would love to see improvements to the sanity meter, so you don't have to adjust your sanity level by performing those killing blows to enemies. It sort of broke the level of immersion a little that you'd sometimes intentionally pass killing blows on dead bodies in order to get to experience some cool sanity effects.
Also, a sequel developed by Nintendo (Retro Secret Project?) would really put the nail in the coffin for Shadows of the Eternal, which would probably be good for everyone to just move on from.
I'm surprised there's no mention of a Pokemon game in the article. Rumble U doesn't count.
But really they should do a pokemon game or trading card game to work with NFC. The possibilities are pretty much endless.
A stadium game, or full fledged adventure where you unlock pokemon by scanning a figure. You'd still be able to find pokemon in your game, but if you have some you absolutely can't find, you can buy the figure and scan.
Graphically, it looks the same as the X360 version, though the framerate drop on the Wii U is pretty noticeable here during the driving sequence.
The PS4 version obviously has a higher FPS and more antialias, fog, and dynamic lighting, but it really looks waaay overexposed for me. They completely lose the dark mood.
Have yet to play it so I know nothing of the gameplay. Maybe I'll pick it up if it goes on sale some time.
Ubi, I liked Loved ZombiU and Splinter Cell and liked Rayman Legends, AC 2 and 3. But AC4 Was not my flavor, or maybe I just lost interest in playing the SAME damn game over and over... I hear Unity is more of the same, but ridden with bugs. Time for a little reinvention Ubi.
@StarDust4Ever But it will do via USB 2.0, which will limit your performance gain. There's really no advantage over a regular HDD because of the USB 2.0, as far as I've been able to research.
@AyeHaley I got the 32gb black with a 500gb external HDD, so yeah I know most of that, but was just curious if the 8gb presents any problems at all for basic stuff like software updates... I guess nintendo had this figured out, but I'd say it's hard for even them to predict the future.
@Peach64 Not a huge impact on hardware sales? from 51,390 units to 83,129 units is a 161% of last weeks sales, or 61% increase.... I'd call that at least a significant impact...
@rushiosan I currently have 9 gigs of free storage in my internal HDD, and I have plenty of games on my external HDD which greatly supasses that number, like assassins creed, splinter cell, and bayonetta, without any problems. I'm not sure what you are asking, but no, you don't need 16 gigs free on your internal HDD to play a game from your external HDD which takes up 16 gigs, temporarily transferring it... It loads straight from the HDD, with no lag issues, and in fact it slightly faster than reading from a disc, as far as I know.
I currently have 175 gigs on my external HDD. No problems what so ever.
This was really great on, was it N64? I hope they release it for Wii U as well. It's not exactly the same as Mario Kart, alot of people might want this.
Not to mention that storage gets cheaper almost all the time. If you waited a few months before buying you HDD (or using one you had lying around) then you've already saved money right there.
Damn I love that Nintendo is fully embracing digital. So much better.
Plus plastic (physical) is bad for the environment.
@rushiosan putting 8 and 32 gigs in the wii u enables Nintendo to bring the price tag down, and if you never buy anything digitally, then you save that money. Having the option to simply plug in an external HDD is so awesome IMH. This way, I can completely customize the amount of storage I want, and how much money I want to spend on storage.
Oooh man, I cannot wait for this. So creepy! I never finished the original because I got stuck and didn't know where to go. Now's my chance for redemption!
I would love to see a futuristic Zelda too! LoZ is my favorite game series, and I think the various incarnations of the franchise prove that a futuristic setting could work...
If the japanese gamers are anything like me, they buy pretty much all their games digitally. If only we had digital numbers, we'd truly know how it was doing.

Re: Keiji Inafune's New Year's Message Includes Fresh Mighty No. 9 Stage Footage
Was so exited at first with the prospect of a "Modern" Mega Man, but really this doesn't look all that great.
The graphics are one thing, but the ART STYLE is throwing me off, as well as the animations and moves.
Will have to wait for reviews for this one.
Re: Year in Development: Nyamyam
It really was a beautiful game. It should just have been twice as long though.
Re: Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (3DS eShop)
Never played any of these games but always wanted to. Will definitely pick this up!

Re: Miyamoto: We Are Working On Ideas For The Next Nintendo System
They could AT LEAST make Mario Galaxy 3 for Wii U.
Re: Discontinued amiibo Figures Could Be Released In Card Form, Says Miyamoto
They really shouldn't discontinue any Amiibo this early in the line's lifetime.

Still can't find the adapter anywhere :/ (EU)
Re: Bandai Namco Announces Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy Plus For 3DS
@Grumblevolcano It's a plane. The Skyward Sword reference certainly seems to make sense to me.
Also, it's only the most recent Zelda title (not counting Wind Waker) so I really don't think it's that strange.

I really want a new ZombiU. I think that game was really great, under reviewed, underplayed and under appreciated.

Re: Review: Tengami (Wii U eShop)
Getting this eventually. I have too many games in my backlog to justify more purchases at this point.

Also Mega Man! I may consider getting a few of these now... Hmm

Re: Video: Early Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric Footage Hints At Game-Breaking Bugs
Delay it. Fix it. Otherwise, Sonic will be dead, as well as the investment Nintendo made to bring 3 exclusive Sonic titles to Nintendo consoles....
Re: "The Sky Is The Limit" For amiibo, As Nintendo Considers Future Third-Party And Indie Support
Release pokemon TCG app on Wii U. Let any amiibo card or figure you scan appear in your card collection in the game.

Re: Review: Skylanders Trap Team (Wii U)
My nephew wants this for his birthday.
Anyone know if the figures work with the NFC gamepad?
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Confirmed For Spring 2015 Nintendo 3DS Release
YES! Gonna download this from the eShop when it arrives.
Re: Tengami is Coming to the Wii U eShop in November
Cool. Looks great. Though I am absolutely flooded with games, I can't justify buying another one at this point...
Re: "Pre-Download" Service to Kick Off With Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Re: You Can Now Purchase Select Digital Titles on Nintendo's Official Site
They better not have a big delay on this feature for europe!
Re: You Can Now Purchase Select Digital Titles on Nintendo's Official Site
yeah... Buy @ work, download and install while working, ready to play when home... Should work like that, if it it does, I'm excited.
Maybe they can add an app too so you can do it from your phone?
Re: Inquisitive Gamers Stumble Across Potential eShop Web Store
Awesome!
Re: Gallery: A Closer Look at the Six New amiibo Figures
The Captain Falcon one looks awesome!
Still don't know if I'm gonna get these though. I dunno if the functionality of them are big enough for me to justify a purchase.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Final Week Details For Its Super Smashing eShop Sale
Oh man, for anybody on the fence on Pikmin 3, now's the time to buy!!
Best game on Wii U along with Mario Kart 8 in my opinion.
Re: Capcom Shows Off Comparison Screens For Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Awesome, I've never played these titles but always wanted to. Seems like a perfect opportunity!
Re: Super Smash Bros. Continues Chart Domination in Japan as Bayonetta 2 Grabs Third Place
These numbers don't show digital sales either.
If the japanese gamers are anything like me, they buy pretty much all their games digitally. If only we had digital numbers, we'd truly know how it was doing.
Re: Cancelled Mario Volleyball/Wrestling Wii Title Comes to Light
They need to make a Mario Strikers for Wii U with online ranked play.
Mario Strikers for Wii was one of the best games, hands down.
Re: Nintendo Launches a Free 3DS Game Promotion in Europe
While I do appreciate this, I have to say, if you own A Link Between Worlds then that list of games is not the best...
