Would the Internet going out brick the system, or is it just turning it off when the Internet goes off bricks it?
Just interested.

So it was just leftover data and not a hack?

Misleading article much?

@GameLord08
Oh for certain. What MS did there was smart on their part. Personally it upset me a bit, but they sure can stir things up, and I can respect that.

And I guess you're correct on the Tretton debate. Not really an addressing of the console itself. But I just feel it's good on the man that he can compliment the efforts of the competition.
A day where everyone from one side can publicly respect the opposite will be a good day in my eyes.

@GameLord08
Yes, I do. But you don't see any other companies saying that about other consoles do you?

No? Then my point remains. This is a good addressing of a competitor, rather than the one that treats it as though it doesn't exist. PR or not, MS's only real public response to the WiiU is something that acts as if it doesn't exist.

Plus it was stupid.

Good. This is how competition should act towards each other.

Not like the "Now's the perfect time to buy an XBOX!!11!1lol!"

@toonlinkuser
wat man

Ughh... I'm on the wait list.

D: Oh well.
Can't wait until the next shipment.
Have fun tomorrow lucky jerks.

@Ren
You misunderstand. My response was to that of the Wii U not being as good as the Wii. It does the exact same as the Wii, but that is a SMALL PART of what it does.

"If anything what we wanted by now was an HD Nintendo with Motion Plus controls"

It does. It's a Wii, Plus an HD console, plus Nintendo Magic.
That's why people who like Nintendo want it.

I do feel that achievements are an excuse for the developer, a fit of laziness perhaps. If you really need some kind of reward for playing your game longer or 100%ing it, then you haven't made a very good game, now have you?

But achievements for specific challenges I guess I'm fine with. But I'd rather you get a reward in-game as well rather than just an achievement.

@theblackdragon
I agree with you 100%.

@Tsuchiya
Poll the fans and you can call that a fact.

@HarmoKnight
Unlockables and achievements are two different things. Believe it or not, most games with unlockables have achievements that go hand in hand. Nintendo could do both.

I hope they do decide to put them in at some point, because some Nintendo games could really benefit from them.

And anyone who thinks the old "do anything: get achievements" concept is how achievements generally are obviously haven't been playing too many games that incorporate them.
Xenoblade's Achievements? That's how most achievements are.

@Mahe
...
...
Doesn't seem AS GOOD?

In what standpoint? Graphical? Launch lineup? Motion Controls? If you're answer is C, then get ready, because the Wii U has the EXACT same motion controls. The EXACT same controller even! It does everything the Wii did (Other than Play GC games) but more as well.

If the thing is a literal better envisioning of the Wii, how can it be less? Please, I want to hear the opinion behind this.

@Knux
I don't disagree that achievements are a huge part. I personally really like achievements and am upset that the Wii U won't have them.

But like I said, the argument that it should have achievements so people can debate over what version to get is the most idiotic thing.

@Wheels2050
@Knux
So without this loss Gamers would have to choose between three versions of a game for best achievement support?

I'm glad that isn't a thing. It sounds so completely idiotic it's not even funny.

Eh..

I like Achievements.
Oh well.

@Radixxs
Oh, I knew what you were responding to.
I just don't understand why.

Anyways, I'm like morally obligated to be excited, since I was hyped as all heck for the 3DS's launch, and that had nothing special in terms of titles going for it at the time.

@Radixxs
I said 'cool' because you directed your statement at me for no discernible reason. Unless of course you just sincerly wanted me to know.

@GameLord
What I mean is, what would sell more units, something that it makes it look cool, or something that tells you what it is?
I feel like the cool factor is more appealing to consumers than an informative commercial. Once interested they can futher research the product.

Then again the Japenese commercial seems to be the best one by far.

@Phle
In America, information doesn't sell products. Imagery does. The US commercial does its job.
@Radixxs
Cool.

Anyways, I just came back from stumbling into a GameStop with a demo unit.
Played Rayman Legends.

It was the most fun I've had all month. Playing a Demo for that game. I'm 110% excited for the launch now.

@JuLeDoS
Is this the first Nintendo launch you're not excited for?

@BestBuck123
The point that being able to use still play the game while someone else uses the TV is "bull"?

I'm glad that I'm missing it.

@BestBuck123
"Why not just play on an iPad?"

You can play console games on an iPad?

That Patcher comment was too good.

@TheDreamingHawk
The second you find out your the target of affection you make demands?
Oh.

I like WaraWara Plaza. Because it's something different.

I'm gonna be sick.

@Radixxs
I'm pretty sure it's sold out almost everywhere, in every shop. Not 100% sure though, so don't quote me.

Never said it was smart. It's not.
It just makes some sense in a twisted way.

@Radixxs
Yes, Actually.

Since Pre-Orders literally sold out the day after they opened, I guess Nintendo has no reason to show of the online before the launch...

That actually makes a bit of sense.

Hope this is true.
Would be great to have a quick unified account.

@cypronia4
How about you stop defending your game and instead seek to improve it?
If NL gave it 2/10, you're doing SOMETHING wrong.

I'd like to see as many independent titles as possible get on Wii U.
So, yes.

I've felt the need to try the series...

Let's see how this game is if its carried over.

A good console browser?

Woah.

@WaxxyOne
J is Journey, a beautiful PSN game that everyone should play.
K is Katimari Damacy, an amazing PS series about rolling up the entire world with your giant sticky rolling ball. It's as weird as it aounds.
L is Limbo, a downloadable game for XBLA and PSN. Pretty good supposedly.
N is Nights: Journey of Dreams. A Sega title originally for Dreamcast I believe.
R is indeed Resident Evil.
U is Uncharted. If you don't know what THAT is there'a no helping you.
V is indeed Viva Pinata.
Y is Ys, an RPG I believe, though I have no real knowledge or experience with the game/series at all.

Dunno about Fission Mailed, but 'Jill Sandwhich' I think is from Resi Evil, and 'A Bad Enough Dude' is part of the quote 'Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?' from the retro game Bad Dudes.

@ReshiramZekrom
That's not what I mean.

Sony consoles are pretty nice. They've got great exclusives. I REALLY like games like InFamous. The Vita itself is a great machine.

It's just in dangerous territory.

@Aviator

It needs some more wins right about now.

C-c-c-c-combo Breaker for me.

What's the W?

I'm surprised I correctly guessed Ys, I know nothing about it.

This works. Not personally appealing, but it's a good ad.

That Logo at the end... I could buy into it just for that.

Other M's atmosphere creeped me out at times. I agree with Twillight Town being creepy too.

Oh, and spot-on with the S&P one.

@Wheels2050

It doesn't sound very convoluted. It sounds exactly like GameStop's reward program, just with you entering the code. An extra step, but I think it's due to the 3DS eShop integration as well.

Yeah, IGN has video of it.

DAT PHOENIX WRIGHT....

WOAH.

@WhiteKnight

Nah. Man, advertising is sound I guess, but I don't think mini-games are likely, nor do I think it should happen at all.

Meh? I don't see any need for an effort made on this front...

Maybe a Nintendo App that has trailers, news, Nintendo Directs and stuff? I guess that'd work well...

Well... This might help sales with children...maybe?

@PoshSnivy
Best Downloadable over Minecraft?

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAt.

Meh. Could care less when they decide to show these things. Knowing beforehand won't cause it to be any more good or bad. I'm willing to get this regardless of it's online (well... maybe regarding that it's FREE online), so if the online bombs, my investment in the console doesn't change.

For GOTY I can agree...

But for handhelds... From what I heard the Vita Uncharted wasn't anything THAT special. Considering the rave reviews for RE: Revelations, and the overall greatness of KI Uprising, I'm surprised.

"Youtube Gamer: Yogscast"
Since GameGrumps is now a thing this is inexcusable.

WOAHWOAHWOAHWOAHWOAH

Dat's some good musics.

So yeah, the reviewer said that it was more fun with more friends.
What he MEANT to say was that this is the most fun game EVER with friends.

(imnotbiaswhatareyoutalkingabout)

NINTENDO LIFE HAS BETRAYED ME!!!!1!!11!1

Now time to actually read the review.
