Cubivore, Pokemon Snap and *gulp.... Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan would be good to revisit on Wii U. Not all Nintendo I know but still, they are worthy of remakes.

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan is a beast though. It's hard lol

StarTropics needs an Update. It's fantastic.

I will shed tears of joy if Earthbound ever gets released again
Best RPG ever (imo)

Funnily enough I've literally just received an email from my supplier confirming my pre order

I only pre ordered it about 10-11 days ago too

Mine is tucked away safely

It looks like the offspring of Super Mario Galaxy and Gradius

Oh, if only there was another way of properly viewing the internet as intended....

@RetroGBHippie92
Well obviously we can only play one game at a time. That kinda goes without saying really but I'd hardly call it excessive building a collection of more than 2 games at launch or at anytime. Blimey, you don't like 2+ games? You'd combust around my collection then!
It's nearly Christmas and the launch line up is strong. Don't be a humbug!

Great review
Now, go do Trine 2!

@Henmii
If people start believing a Nintendo Wii U is an iCrap then Lord help us all...

@Mr_Trill281

Please continue with the in depth analysis won't you?
We'll call this a fail and promptly move along shall we?

I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an...
No, I shouldn't

@Sean_Aaron
You know you can only use upto 2TB right?
Or am I reading you wrong?
I'm currently half asleep.

@Malic
Agreed

@Malic
How is Darksiders 2?

@mwellert
That's great news. Thanks for the link
I'll defiantly give it a go.

@Malic
It's the fact that this is a genuine survival horror that really interests me. I'm tired of all the Gears of Evil clones. A demo would be great. Fingers crossed

It looks fantastic but the use of the gamepad puts me off...

@MadAussieBloke
Because the Crapple kids will one day own us all and the future is all about speedometer battery icons. Silly you thinking games belong on vastly superior dedicated gaming systems

@Pikachupwnage
Resident Evil Zero is still a Nintendo Exclusive.
Not the best of the series though...

@DarkCoolEdge
Played the demo of Art of Balance Touch just today and I absolutely loved it. Really good addictive game

@CosmicMii
It wouldn't be a 3DS exclusive if it was on Wii U. Wii U would probably benefit more from having RE5 + and RE6 available. PS3 owners deserve to play such an incredible game if they haven't already and maybe for Capcom, it was more convenient to port it over to PS3 than Wii U. This is all a rumour anyway

If this is true, I wonder why it's not headed to Vita. They'd have to do some major padding to justify any price attached to it for PS3.

I'm loving all this retro adoration and HD hijinks

My nostalgic marathon is well underway to help pass the time till my Wii U arrives in just 1 week
Currently playing Rayman for GBA and over the course of the weekend I'll dust off Mega Man for NES on Saturday and for Sunday I'll get (re)stuck into LoZ WW

Very sad to see them in trouble and we wish them well but I do wonder how long they will survive on mobile platforms but needs must. Frankly, they are wasted on such a platform.
Strap yourself in for the 8th gen. We're in for one hell of a ride.

@RetroGBHippie92
How is purchasing more than 2 games at launch considered excessive?
It's personal choice. Please explain Sir.

@triforcepower73
Of course you shouldn't have loyalty to them. We can be (rational) fans of a gaming company yes, but they're not family members. As for people saying they hate this and hate that...ugh good Lord why?
They are plastic boxes with chips and wires thrown inside. People that get so riled up over electronics, really, really need to experience life more.

Saying you'd be happy to see Sony drop out of the industry, causing thousands upon thousands of people losing their jobs is a ridiculous statement. I know I've said I think they will struggle unless they enter the 8th gen with a decent price and chained down tech yes, but I wish them luck as I do with Nintendo and Microsoft.

Fanboys just baffle me..

How to do a console launch 101

@Schprocket
At least for myself and many of my friends, a combination of Microsoft and Nintendo is really were gaming is at.

Good news
Everyone needs to play this game even the most stubborn of gamers or anti handheldians. Hope this is true for Sony fans.

@theblackdragon
The Wii U CPU isn't the only slow thing around here

@AugustusOxy
Ugh I hate people wishing ill will on developers and publishers
Like THQ or not, these are people working hard under what appears to be a very stressful situation and they've snapped. These people are most probably facing unemployment if this situation continues. They'll have families to support you should really be more understanding and not be happy that they are in trouble just because they are insulting a plastic box (which I'm buying)

Bowls

@rippedwhiteguy
A bad economy will not allow overpowered, overpriced tech. It's as simple as that. What you want and what Sony and Microsoft most probably want to make will just not happen. They will not risk it. Should Nintendo snag a major portion of the hardcore, they'll hold them for more than 2 years that's for sure.

Anyway, I'm bored now. Let's just wait to see what happens shall we?

@grimbldoo
Super Rich saves the day!

@SanderEvers
Nintendo and well, all home consoles really would be crazy to develop consoles with PC tech/power. When it comes to PC grunt, it's best to keep it as far away from home consoles as possible. They are different animals. PC tech and power is best left were it is, as a high end alternative choice rather than forced fed upon gamers. Console prices would become insane.

@Gamesake
Agreed.

Providing 720 arrives with a sensible price and they keep supporting Kinect and developing their own innovation, I can see it co existing with Wii U beautifully. Between Microsoft and Nintendo, you're pretty much covered in every aspect of gaming and it's comfy on the wallet. Sony bless 'em, have just lost the plot.

You can show Sony or Microsoft the door if they enter the 8th gen with a $600+ console. They may well have the better tech but what'd be the point if no one is willing or cannot afford to buy it? They'll need to be pretty much on par with Wii U (whether you like it or not fanboys) both in terms of pricing and tech if either are to be successful. Sony especially. They really, really need to rein it in. Microsoft have embraced innovation (thank god) and implemented it well with Kinect and now SmartGlass so I really hope they stick to that with the 720.

Already sitting comfy for BLOPS2, AC3, Darksiders 2, NSMBU, Sonic All Stars, Batman and obviously NintendoLand.

Trine 2 and Lil' Inferno are on the list too.
Got a clan set up ready so hopefully I'll see some of my fellow Brits online for some friendly competition

@PS_Trooper

Most of that is complete fanboy nonsense. Don't you see the problem? It's because PS3 is still supported 6 years after launch and doesn't seem set to change anytime soon that PS4 will struggle. Nowadays, Sony isn't a name attached to success. Maybe in '94 but not now. But what do I know? It's just my opinion

Time will tell!

That selection is terrible. It reads like a reject list nevermind characters you'd want included. Bonanza Bros... ugh

The next gen, once Sony and Microsoft enter it will start to get insanely expensive. The tech under the hood will become irrelevant to all but the most hardcore of hardcore fanboys. Prices will prove king and this is why (imo) Wii U will dominate regardless of it's CPU. Once again people, you may want a console with enough grunt capable of time travel but it will just be too expensive. Be realistic. C'mon

I've said it before, I really do think the 8th gen will see a casualty. It's not a good sign for PS4/720 when a company is more at home with their current gen consoles 6-7 years after they launched. Wii U is a brand new console and they won't even port it over for easily less costs and an easy profit? What the hell makes you think THQ and all their money problems will spend millions upon millions supporting a console such as PS4 when development costs for that will be astronomical.

Tsuchi rant over.

I'm gonna need thicker curtains.

Merge 'em together and be done with it.

@A-Hungry-Banker
Nintendo pulling a paradox
It's a current, next and last gen console all rolled into one! Magic!

@diim
They probably took one look at the gamepad and pretty much held their heads in their hands and given up. I really can't blame them though. Metro LL may well be their last game* and they'll want to gain some money before bowing out and releasing it on PS360 is much more sensible. I'm not a fan of Metro but it's always sad to see a developer/publisher in trouble no matter what camp you're in. I'll be getting Darksiders II for Wii U to give 'em a hand.

*I hope they survive long enough to release SR4. Now that would be awesome

Excellent work, just oh so many Crapple products.
Come Christmas, that'll be the average 3 year old's bedroom.

@adrenochrome
It's more a case of impatient adult-children with their head floating in the air, drunk on over excitement.

Keep calm, listen to AC/DC and leave the damn plug alone!!

I'll just be downloading the update the good ol' fashioned way and leaving it alone to do it's job come the 30th.

And y'know, leaving the plug in O_O

@Gridatttack
His Plank Manager most probably.
@joker94
I agree with you Sir. Whether Wii U is sold, starts gathering dust on a store shelf or gets sat on by an elephant in drag, those people less fortunate then ourselves really couldn't care about what happens to it. That's a shame as they work damn hard to manufacture them for us but we know that in some way when we've unboxed our (intact) Wii U, we've helped them.
God bless em all.
