Re: Nintendo Switch Will Be a Single-Screen Experience

ULTRA-64

Well that's a shame........
I fully understand why they have chosen to 'move on' from the failed Wii u . However I for one LOVE what the Wii u second screen has done for my gaming choices!!
Games like deus ex and zombie u have been simply better than other versions because of the second screen for starters. Then there are the games like xenoblade and arkam city which you can simply do more to navigate the maps in less time and with far less effort(imagine xenoblade with even MORE menus!!). Then there is the non split screen local play on 1st person shooters etc which I love, or the pikmin 3 companion map option, or the Mario party mini games, or the game &wario style games like the drawing one. All in all, I used the old features extensively so I hope I get as much out of the new device........

Re: Dylan Cuthbert Voices His Thoughts on Star Fox Zero

ULTRA-64

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I couldn't say you were wrong for saying the game is awful. Every opinion is valid, it's just that I'd call the game is more- good with glaring flaws that ruin the experience.
I don't personally think they were lazy with the development but that their concept was flawed. Like they tried really hard to make all the wrong ideas work and messed up the basics.
It's a story I'd be really curious to hear, how the game came to be. Like if platinum knew the controls were rubbish but went ahead or argued their point? If online was avoided through design or time etc. It's one of those classic 'what could have been' curiosity tales.....

Bought it digital in the end after getting all excited about a physical versionπŸ€”. I surprised myself tbh as it shows how much I've come around to digital purchases over the course of this gen! In the first couple of years of Wii u life id have bought physical 100%!

Re: Teslagrad Developer Rain Games Hints At NX Release For World To The West

@Ryu_Niiyama well that explains allot. I've always wondered what the recurring theme was!!
I think I'm now sold on perfume. Looked them up, feel like a fan club member already and I havn't had time to actually listen to the music yet either. I'm hoping the song macaroni is as good as its name suggests. My favorite of your Avatar's(that I remember) was the girl walking sassily down the street!

Re: UK Retailer Tesco Adds Nintendo NX Order Page With Β£349.99 Price

ULTRA-64

@Sakura yeah, it's all just a big speculation pick and mix right now!
I'm kinda relaxed about the while thing. I love my Wii u, am still buried in xenoblade x and I've got a huge backlog of other games.
I'd love Nintendo to come out of leftfield with another great concept but I'm not convinced by anything ive heard so far. Portability,controllers and projector leaks do nothing for me.I'll sit patiently on the sidelines band wait for them to tempt me. It probably won't take much😜
I'll stick my neck out and say October the first,Saturday I think, first some kind of reveal. Let's hope it's not a reveal of a date for a reveal 😱

Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns Swings to the North American Wii U VC This Week

ULTRA-64

I thought dk:tf was a brilliant game, very hard but very rewarding. I true platforming masterpiece with originality and great music to boot. I bought the disk of returns as soon as I hit 100% on tropical freeze, I hadn't been able to make myself start it yet though as it was just such a challenge getting to that point in tf. Maybe when I eventually finish xenoblade x I might fire it up!?!

Re: New Rewards Are Now Available On My Nintendo

ULTRA-64

What an absolute insult to loyalty this my Nintendo fiasco has become. As others have said above, I'm hopeful that new hardware will bring the site/scheme to life and give it relevance. However right now it's an absolute laughing stock, a joke. I don't have a 3ds and so pretty much everything is a no go for me and many like me. They have so many things they could add but are choosing not to......πŸ˜–

Re: Nintendo Download: 1st September (Europe)

ULTRA-64

Nothing at all for me again. I like the look of FREEZEME but I'm buried in backlog right now so I can wait.
My Wii u is getting more play time than ever right now thanks to xenoblade x which I sat on since Xmas waiting for time to dig into it......brilliant game, I'm addicted!! I'm about 100hrs in and haven't even thought about getting a skell yet, there's just so much to explore! It's so good I've barely touched starfox zero which I'd earmarked as a pick up and play casual game, wrong!!( way to much concentration needed). No game drought in my house 😁

Re: Review: Armikrog (Wii U eShop)

ULTRA-64

Well this floats my boat! I'm 50/50 on the art style but curious to see more.
I simply LOVED point and click games as a kid. I've loads of fond memories of playing games like India Jones, Sam and Max,monkey island, full throttle etc.....
I was always hoping we'd get some telltale games on Wii u but this will do for me. The hardware is almost designed for this style of game after all!!

Re: New Gamescom Missions Are Available for European My Nintendo Accounts

ULTRA-64

No point,complete waste of time without anything to spend points on.
I feel like I'm collecting stamps on a loyalty card and everytime I fill one they give me a bigger card and no reward. It's the complete opposite of what they are trying to achieve with loyalty schemes imo. I have never felt the need to purchase more to gain rewards like I did with club Nintendo!!
