I filtered the European Ben 10 community and I think I counted 5-6 actual owners. This is a problem. Too many people posting crud. This isn't Flipnote. So 2000+ people felt the need to post absolute bowls about a game they don't own. Nice.
@Whirlpool - Some way of customising your own WaraWara Plaza would be good. Selecting the communities that appear when you switch on. I'd like to see it filled with objects like chairs, games etc.
@Weavius - Nice idea. Some handwritten posts are just total nonsense.
@Drobotic - The Mass Effect 3 community is rife with spoilers posted by over excited newbs. Some way of adding a bit of detail to the exact nature of a spoiler would be something I'd like to see. Most spoilers aren't even spoilers. They're just doodles most of the time.
Maybe flagging a spoiler under the tag of 'Boss Battle' or 'Easter Egg' would be more efficient.
Dave Cox strikes me as a really decent guy. I'm going to get a XL soon so I'll grab this too. We should all try and lend a hand to these hardworking people and show our support.
I wouldn't really describe Brain Age as a New IP especially not Nintendogs. That's just a glorified Tamagochi.
Wii Sports wasn't anything too exciting. It's a sports sim. We have thousands of them.
New IPs on par with the big hitters mainly Zelda, we've had nothing noteworthy. The finest minds in gaming have become a little slack these past 10 years.
Maybe Zelda U will help change this. I'm not holding my breath though. Nintendo seem far too content these days releasing endless clones and rehashes of old games.
No, they're much worse.
Mention anything that's anti Nintendo and they'll march out carrying pitchforks. NintendoLife aren't exactly helping matters by having this drivel posted up there. They are only plastic boxes with the odd chip and wire knocking about, that's all.
Certainly nothing to lose sleep over. But some will. Some already have.
Sony don't need such things. Nintendo have an over reliance on Mario. They should calm it down a bit but now we'll be getting the same old same old, just with Luigi now.
Lack of advertising and multiplats that can be bought cheaper elsewhere, probably even the systems name is causing people to stay away.
Was WiiU really the best name to pick? WiiU plays Wii games but so does Wii obviously. Some may confuse the names. People may not be able to justify another system that doesn't really offer much in the way of change. Bar the gamepad screen, it's a baby Xbox.
HD isn't as big a deal as it once was. It's still early days but it's just a console with a funny screen on the controller offering overpriced games.
To me at least, it doesn't have that glorious Nintendo feel about it.
@Neram Exactly but people will still get their underwear bunched at the mention of another system outselling Nintendo. The 360 is probably the best console ever made.
Zen Pinball 2 is a complete mess. As for TTT!, that should have DLC to remove that stupid narrator and bolt on some online. Taking a picture of your face when those that you know around you, can actually see you is strange to me. Or are we pandering again to sprogs?

I'm not enjoying the controls of Monster Hunter. Maybe it's just me, I don't know.
Re: Talking Point: Sony's PlayStation 4 Poses a Fresh Challenge for Wii U in the 2013 Holidays
Not a single PS4 feature really impressed me. It's a shame too as I really wanted to like it. PS3 it'll be then.
Re: Future Wii U Need For Speed Titles Will Ship On The Same Day As Other Platforms
6 players? We're doing this again? Look at Blops. Sort it.
Why not 8?
Re: Watch Dogs Confirmed For Release On Wii U
@sonic-doom
Mass Effect 3 looks exactly the same. In some areas, it may even be slightly worse on Wii U.
Re: Watch Dogs Confirmed For Release On Wii U
@Lopezdm
Screw Rayman. We have Watch_Dogs, now with added '_'
Re: Monster Hunter 3 G on 3DS to Go Online Via Wii U Adapter
Makes so much more sense to just buy for WiiU.
Re: The Legend of Zelda Oracle Titles Coming to Japanese 3DS Virtual Console
I got these when they came out and still have them. (Thanks Ma, sorry about the nagging!) Great little games.

The Funky Barn community is embarrasing.
Re: John Lasseter Speaks of His Appreciation For Video Games
I have huge respect for this guy especially on his work promoting Ghibli to the west.
Everything he touches or goes anywhere near, is pure gold.
Re: Filtering Miiverse Content Is Easier With A New Update
Just posted that spoiler tag idea on Miiverse. You never know, it may appear one day!

Re: Filtering Miiverse Content Is Easier With A New Update
@Stuffgamer1
That's a bit much. Anyone should be able to post in any community they wish. Ideally posts that are on topic and relevant though.
One little thing I'd like to see fixed is the 'owned' icon. Post a message in another community from another region and it disappears.
Overall, besides the silly doodles, Miiverse is a joy to use.
Re: Filtering Miiverse Content Is Easier With A New Update
I've always wanted to see a player filter right from the start. Far too many people post irrelevant junk on Miiverse.
I've seen more informative gaming news scrawled on a toilet wall than in some Miiverse communities.
Re: The European Version Of F-Zero On Wii U Virtual Console Comes With 60Hz Support
@Five-seveN
Nintendo have been doing that for 25 odd years. What is it now, that strikes you as odd?
They'll be doing it for the next 25 years too no doubt.

It's all going a bit juggs up lately.

Let's hope you do like it...you'll soon be stuck with it forever.
Re: No Off-Screen Play For Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate On Wii U
I always hated the menu layout on Wii. This makes much more sense having space dedicated for all your gear etc.
Re: Rumour: Aliens: Colonial Marines Had Resources Moved to More "Important" Projects
The Borderlands games are awful.
Re: Video: Iwata and Miyamoto Perform Skit As The "Luigi Brothers"
Can you imagine a world without these two? I love them!
You sure wouldn't get our stuffy UK CEOs and their ilk doing this. They're too busy getting whipped and beaten up.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February 2013 (Europe)
We certainly fee indeed.
Re: The European Version Of F-Zero On Wii U Virtual Console Comes With 60Hz Support
Some will still find fault with this. Reading some of the comments on Miiverse, I'm baffled why some people even own a WiiU.
50-60Hz, I don't really care but a nice little online mode would be good.

Re: Coaster Creator 3D Ride Starts on 28th February in North America
Theme Park is still King. Always will be.
Re: Fan Feedback Prompted Capcom's Resident Evil: Revelations HD Development
@NImH
Better graphics, sound, controls, possibility of voice chat and more content. No, I can totally see your point.
Re: Surprise Ubisoft Sale Arrives on Wii U eShop in North America
@Intrepid
It would be nice but some people will never be won over with anything anyone does to help appease them.
Nintendo gamers can be particularly unforgiving.
Re: Surprise Ubisoft Sale Arrives on Wii U eShop in North America
I really feel for the Rayman devs. This is probably just the suits crawling. It's a crappy situation.
Re: Fan Feedback Prompted Capcom's Resident Evil: Revelations HD Development
@Exile20
Stuff goes where it makes money. Exclusives need to go away. We're all gamers not spoilt kids. Why can't everyone enjoy it?

WiiU isn't anything to write home about either.

"Oh Wow. Yes okay"
Any statement starting like that is guaranteed nonsense. What are they? Four?
Re: Sony Trolls Nintendo Ahead of PlayStation 4 Announcement

My launch Wii broke twice. Both times thanks to a crud lens.

@HawkeyeWii
You'd be happy seeing thousands of hard working people out of work?
You're so awesome.
Re: Sony Trolls Nintendo Ahead of PlayStation 4 Announcement
Suck Fony, as Weetus once said.
Re: Sony Trolls Nintendo Ahead of PlayStation 4 Announcement
We have far too many plopped out Mario games. Great that the focus is on Luigi. That should spawn about 3 million clones.
If Sony mess up on the price, goodbye.
Re: Nintendo Receives Zero BAFTA Game Awards Nominations
All of those games above are complete tat.
Re: Talking Point: The Year of Luigi Could Bring a Burst of Creativity
New IPs please not revamped old relics.
Re: UK Retailers Call For Wii U Price Cut And Fresh Approach From Nintendo

Not much point having a cheap console when the games are still over priced.
Re: Video: Tesla Coil Shows Creative Spark To Play Mario Theme
Wikipedia has just blew up.
Re: UK Retailers Call For Wii U Price Cut And Fresh Approach From Nintendo

They certainly should've moved on from Wii.
