@JosieC84 That's just the Xbox one controller that is having those issues
But seriously, getting it as a free download shows these developers no support at all.

@ULTRA-64 Child of Light is great, but buying it doesn't support the independent creativity that this game supports. CoL supports Ubisoft and nothing else.

Between Shovel Knight and Armillo, I don't really have time for this one right now, but I will purchase it at my next earliest convenience, It looks great and I was really excited to hear when it was announced for the Wii U. I'm gonna be broke before the even bigger titles come to the Wii U later this year! If it weren't for all these wonderful Indie games, the Wii U might have another software drought.

How disappointing! I was going to get this on my Wii U just to play the online modes, but since those are oddly, not included in the Wii U version... I will not be buying this game at all... ever! Thank you activation for showing your true colors!

I'll probably get this. It looks interesting.

@luke88 SITTM is one of the next one's on my list, I thought about getting it as a free DL for my PS4, but I would rather give the dev money for their hard work than get the game for free. Also, Knytt is another one that I want, but will have to wait until my funds replenish for that one.
It's funny how much doom and gloom there is for the Wii U, I always brag on the eShop when I hear that nonsense. If you think there aren't any good games for the console then you don't have one, or you are just belligerent about having fun.

Been looking forward to this one for a while now! Got Child of Light last week and getting this, this week. Loading up on great games for the Wii U, then there is the impending doom, to other games in my collection, that is MK8! I'm liking the eShop more every week, don't much care about the VC, just keep the great indie titles coming.

@TG1 I can respect that.

@TG1 I thought the controls were very loose on the DSiWare version of this game, and that was what made the difficulty ramp up in the later levels? Maybe I'm just easily amused.

I got this game for my 3DS a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it, this is worthy of me double dipping! Gettin' it!

I would certainly pick this up on the Wii U, since I don't play games on steam. I enjoyed chasing aurora, especially with friends.

@DESS-M-8 Would that scale happen to be a Wii Balance board?? LOL... but you're correct sir, Qo(FAI)L. Just concentrate on what you have and stop trying to make nintendo themed baby monitors and toaster ovens, make games for the Wii U and 3DS and that's it!

So, why is Iwata still in charge of Nintendo??? I'm lost trying to find an answer to that. Iwata's thought process, "QoL, that should distract them from our lack of focus on the Wii U... hehehe, what else do I think consumers would like? Whatever I'll do what I want!" *Cartman's voice from South Park rings in my head when I read the whole, "Nintendo is a company that can do whatever they want". Is that Iwata speaking or the shareholders of the company? I think that 125 years of business is being eroded away with Iwata at the helm of Nintendo.

@Faron I agree with you on this one. The Wavebird was a good controller, but the stem on the analog stick was too flimsy.

It looked like the sprite had something stuck up his butt, who decided what animations the main character would have? This is laughable.

Blech!

@CaptainSquid I saw this image as well on their official site. You should also note that the founder of AE is not a graphic artist but more of a programmer and stated that he was getting an artist to begin making the concept art. I still agree with you that this image is terrible! But, the concept art gives me some type of hope for this game not being atrocious.

@Starwolf_UK Understandable, but my question remains. Will Wii games be able to use the Nintendo Network as the used the Nintendo Wi-Fi? i.e. trick the game into using Nintendo Network servers vs. using Nintendo Wi-Fi servers? I don't think there has been any clarification on this, but I'm not holding my breath for it.

@noctowl I feel the same way. You mean I can play a Zelda shooting game with this piece of plastic that holds both controllers?! Sign me up! No other games use it. A bathroom scale for a mere $90, where can I get one?! Oh right, I'm still lazy. lol
I love getting duped!

I honestly thought the score would be lower, but I'm not getting it anyway so scores don't really matter.

@noctowl I didn't define how hard the slap is, or would be;) I think that what they have done, and the reason I have used that term, is really alienate their fan base that might upgrade from the Wii to the Wii U, or DS to 3DS. They have literally given every Wii owner an ultimatum and that seems really unfair to the consumer. Take into consideration, that maybe they don't have the money to buy a new console, or maybe they are happy with what they have and forcing them to do something, they aren't prepared to do, would dissuade them from continuing to support the company. I just think Nintendo is being a bit hasty in their recent choices. I also didn't notice that I was "RAGE"ing... perhaps you put your own internal inflection on my words there, sir?

So, since they are shutting down the Wii servers, doesn't that mean that we won't be able to play any Wii game online even if we are playing them on the Wii U?! Isn't that kinda... counter productive? "We want you to upgrade! So, we are taking away the last vestige of fun you may have on our 'outdated' and 'discontinued' hardware! We love you... as long as you buy a Wii U and 3DS and get rid of those old Wiis and DSs!" Hmmmm, this type of thing is exactly what would make me want to buy your new console. I like being slapped in the face and then hit over the head with a frying pan! If I weren't an early adopter, this would not make me want to upgrade!

I enjoyed this title, it has it's bugs, but show the promise of the Nintendo Web Framework. I look forward the the updates with more options and free levels. Hopefully we will get a level selection option and some type of level creator. But for now I'm satisfied.

When the Manufacturer refurbishes them, it is like getting a new console, they repackage them with new paper work including new registration codes for Club Nintendo. It means that they had some type of issue and that Nintendo fixed them and is now selling them at a deep discount.

@bizcuthammer I'm right there with you. But I still think it's a boring game. It's a start for Ninty in the ftp realm, but I hope they come up with something better next go around.

@gatorboi352 I agree with you there. But I don't think Nintendo really "takes heed" just like they don't "care what their fans want" <--- This is according to Reggie Fils-Aime. If they don't care what their fans want then how do they expect to continue? I'm a Nintendo fan and have a Wii U, but I will not be buying NSMBU with a glorified coat of monkey fur and some stupid looking walrus enemies!

@Nintenjoe64 You and me both are glad that this game didn't move many. I want Nintendo to know that this type of "reveal" and crap is not what their fans want. I for one would like a steak from Nintendo, instead of a damn Chicken Nugget Kids meal! Give us something more substantial than another 2.5D platformed!

@Guybrush20X6 If you want to see a Nintendo-centric site that only publishes negative news, you should head on over to MyNintendoNews.com. It seems that the only Nintendo related news they report there is about something negative pertaining to Nintendo. NintendoLife.com is at least somewhat positive in most of their articles.

My expectations: the heart rate monitor for the Wii U gamepad… LOL
Maybe something good that isn't all about Mario!! Info on Miyamoto's new IP?
Honestly who knows. Nintendo has been kicking us all in the balls and it's gonna take some type of miracle for them to fix this mess, I'm hopeful, but reserved in that hope. Heck, I was hopeful for the Retro Studios announcement at E3 2013 and look how that turned out… Bwa wah wahhhh.
Anything not DK or Mario is fine with me.

@unrandomsam Actually, the expansion port is on the Gamepad, not the Wii U itself. But what's to stop someone from dreaming?

@hosokawasamurai Why is there not a "Super Like" button for your post?! That is such a great video.

If nothing else make a small attachment for the bottom of the gamepad that gives it the ability to play Wii U games over the network from a greater distance, even outside the house at another wifi spot, akin to Vita/PS4 remote play.

@SecondServing I think that's where they are headed, or at least some type of "upgrade" like they had to do for DK64 for the N64. Something that accentuates the power of the Wii U in some way.

@citizenerased "Dozens!" LOL… I'm not boycotting them, unless they decide to pull a Sega and cancel on all the people that have been waiting on this game for their Wii U, which is the crowd I consider myself a part of.

I guess this is the first step in the inevitable separation of Ubisoft from the Wii U supporting developers page. This stinks, I was really looking forward to this game on my Wii U! I won't be buying anymore Ubi games ever if they decide to cancel this game for the Wii U. And I know that doesn't really help the "lack of sales on the Wii U" situation, but I will not support a company that drops support like this. I will not be buying there games on any platform, not just my nintendo platforms.

@akaDv8R I'm gonna add you to my FL on my Wii U, so I will see you online.

@akaDv8R I would love to help you, I'm low rank right now, so I'm more than happy to help you get the hang of it. NNID: Unit_DTH
Message me on Miiverse with a time and I will try to be online so we can get you enthusiastic about killing monsters! I'm in the US CST.

Has anybody else looked at "Percy's Predicament"? This game looks like something for the PS1. I'm all about buying indie games, but the indies have to actually put forth more effort than this. This is Bush League!

Unit_DTH on Nintendo Network by the way.

I'll try to jump in on this, I'm only HR2 right now, but maybe I will be a higher rank by saturday.

@RCMADIAX Nice!

@Einherjar I agree with most of what you have said here, but not the bit about how the CPP is completely needed for the game on the 3DS. Underwater battles are made simple by using the Monster lock button on the bottom screen of the DS and I rarely use the right stick on the gamepad when I'm playing on the Wii U. the only battle that "needed" the CPP on the DS is the Ceadeus, just because you have to focus on 1 part to break before you can get to the final part of the battle, and the Lock camera always points you at it's midsection. If you setup the touchscreen to have the camera controls on the right side of the screen, it becomes second nature and doesn't warrant the purchase of the CPP. i guess that's just my opinion, I have gotten about 6 of my friends into MH3U on the 3DS and a few are planning to purchase a Wii U just for this game, so this article is very welcome to me. The depth and great feeling of accomplishment when you finally beat a large scale monster is tremendous and I haven't sunk this much time into a game since… I can't say that I ever have sunk this much time into any other game. I hope they bring frontier G to the west and that they make it available on the 3DS and Wii U like MH3U.

@Emblem
I feel like it's made worse by the lack of upcoming titles for any of the home consoles. I haven't seen anything for the PS4, bar The Order (not coming for a while yet), that warrants a purchase. The dust on my home consoles is getting fairly thick, but my back catalog and the impending US release of Bravely Default will be nice filler in the meantime.

How about Metroid Prime: Hunters? That would be my number one pick.

I was able to renew my preorder for the Wii U version at my local Gamestop last week, but I'm in the US and maybe they haven't gotten the memo yet.

I really don't want a "NinteniPad", I like the gamepad for Wii U and I like the 3DS, but this thing just doesn't seem like it could even be close to a reality. The concept is intriguing, but that's all.

@linktothepichu That's the same question I was about to ask.
