Glory is only half of the game and lacks the need to adapt for changing situations, which for me is the main point of the Smash as a fighter. I don't like, that there is no full mode, that keeps a record of losses.

Fun for glory!

The other smashers around here are going to rip their trousers, when they hear, that the 3ds version releases first. Fortunately only I...well, my daughter has a 3ds and I get half a year head start for practising.

But for Christ sake, announce the level editor in next direct tomorrow. I cannot stand the uncertainty.

LEVEL EDITOR ZEUS DAMNIT½½½½

Hand drawn levels, perhaps textures and most of all, sharing with friends!

@Jazzer94 looks same ball park to me, in which case the 3D would have made it look more interesting in my eyes.

Ah damn. I'm happy and sad at the same time! I was so much hoping for a dedicated 3DS FPS, but then again, I'm not spitting on Wii U FPS either.(shame about the parity thing though)

I hope there is Wiimote support, as well as gyro support.

I am very probably going to get them all...except Hyrule Warriors(well, Wiimote support might turn my head).

Aprilliä, syö silliä!
Juo kuumaa kuravettä päälle!

I expected a lot from this game, but I liked it a lot more, than I ever imagined. And now, I love it even more i guess. It's very good game on its own, but it also gives me some relief in my Castlevania longing as well as easing my envy of Maze of Galious in japanese Virtual Console.

For a sequel, next game, or if there's going to be another update, please put the main inventory on the gamepad(now you need to allocate items from the start menu into the secondary gamepad inventory).

Sales does not mean quality.

Wii U is phenomenally unpopular device, but it is still fantastic product. It is competitively priced even when it comes with a tablet controller. Nintendo has not made good job making its benefits well known, or demonstrating them in many games(other than Nintendo Land), while its competitors have been hugely successful in their marketing.

But still the Wii U is THE ultimate multiplayer machine, among other things, and even though the 3rd party support is worrying, so far every 3rd party game I have played with Wii U was better with Wii U.

I would consider an eShop magazine.

Pro, if off topic, Tip:
After getting tired of waiting decent snack from eShop, I ordered almost entire Wii U backlog, and it cost me ca. as much as 1 new game.

Now I am swimming in games. Feels good.

It's fcking nothing!!!

The definitive version.

Preordered.

Went straight into top-5 of my 'buy on anything list'.

I wonder how many stocks they have in mobile business.

@placidcasual

Yeah. Actually this is what I have been thinking for years, but somehow it crystallized into a word 'licencing'.

If the explanation for the trickling VC release schedule really is that they are forcing people buy the crappiest NES games(forcing = people drink piss when they are dying for thirst, and even pay for it), then I am very pissed of Nintendo's strategy on this matter. Why not give people choice? I would think people would throw more money into eShop, if there was more games they are looking for.

It could be licencing issue as well, but even then it doesn't sound too difficult.

At least release a couple of games for each system each week. After waiting for a half a year for even one good game, that I don't already have, I have lost all my interest for the whole Virtual Console. And start by adding the whole Wii VC library; I hate to see weeks, when I have the choice of rebuying the Wii VC games, or get nothing.

The pace is too slow.

Even when they finally release some good games, they almost never interest me, because I have the originals and have played them recently.

Release big chunks and it becomes a big deal. For me it would be almost like a big game release and could almost make up the drought.

@erv Aaah Such a shame. But thanks!

@erv

Do you know, or could you check if the Splinter Cell has gyro aiming.

So I found a review. that said that Splinter Cell did have gyro aiming after all, and now I am getting SUPER hyped for Splinter Cell!

Please, make my decision easier;
can some one confirm, that it has a gyro aiming option!?!?

I would make a request for all kinds of arcade games for VC, and pressure Nintendo to release several big chuncks of VC games along the year, when ever there are dry weeks.

To me the power is just another gimmick too, and expensive at that too.

Wii U's graphics are not half bad, and the Nintendo's "gimmicks" are at least meant to improve interactivity(vs increasing amount of automation in games), which is the meaning of games after all. Graphics wasn't the most popular gimmick last gen. They are now, but despite it's popularity issues, Wii U is not a bad product either. It certainly lacks instantly understandable marketing catch phrase(unless you consider the countless negative ones coming from its competitors), but it still has good graphics, lots of good games, its affordable and it has tons of interesting control methods and rather unique game play possibilities. PS4 is more expensive, and has nothing but its graphics and current popularity...which is not necessarily an eternal feature. PS4 has many, many good looking games coming, that I would have rather played with Wii U. I have became bored of PS4 games years ago.

@AcesHigh73

Yes. Nintendo's VC pace is unsettling. And not only the time it takes them to release stuff, but how many poopoodoodoocacapoopledoople release weeks will be in between good releases.

_{Please watch the profanity — TBD}

I am very excited about this!!!! I missed many DS I always wanted to play. I loved Phantom Hourglass, and I cannot wait to play the Spirit Tracks on bigger screen(s)!! And speaking about biggers screens, the Meteos might benefit from larger touch screen even more...and become life threateningly addictive, will power eating black hole of happiness.

And oh boy, The Castlevania and Advance Wars.

I am also in need for Brain Training and Tetris. And a bunch of RPG's. Perhaps ZooKeeper. Definitively Wario Ware!! Well, doggeyoopsiepoopiepoodle; its Cornucopia of games. I'm going to lose a lot of money on these.

_{Profanity is not necessary here -Lz}

I like turn based combat.
I like real time combat as well.

But this looks some what boring battle system. Hopefully there's something, that I don't yet see(actually, I am pretty hopeful).

Ok, after particularly sweaty Wii Fit U exercise, I checked the sources, and Wii Fit is not mentioned there.

What Is Going On, gaming "media"? Who put the Wii Fit in the headline? Can't let Wii U have anything positive attached into it? Who pays your salary?

@DinoFett
What real world is that?

I'm trying to aim somewhere in between of those, in the "eat normally, eat what you need and stay healthy" -level. I cannot lose too much weight, or I get too thin and die. I could actually get a bit more weight.

This is so silly, that I cannot think any other reason for it, than propaganda/fud. It is really simple; if it makes you sweat, it makes you fit.

And WiiFit does make you sweat by making you do quite real push ups, abs, aerobic exercises and etc. With the Wii Fit Meter it also encourages you to jog to work/shop and later convert the exercise from those trips into graphs, that help you follow your progress and also cheer you to push your limits. It even compares your burned calories with food. I was going to treat my self with a chocolate bar, but unfortunately my exercise today leaves me peanuts and fruits for evening snack. Tomorrow I must really work for that chocolate!!!

I didn't read the sources, but the researchers probably didn't play WiiFit, and it was probably the media(and gaming industry) who put the WiiFit into headlines, probably to make absolutely sure, that this worrying, sweat inducing, WiiFit phenomenon does not catch fire again; it might make people buy Wii U.

Wii Fit U = real exercise. Your fitness will improve and your muscles will grow. And it is fun too.

The Korg synthesizer is an emulation of a classic synthesizer, but the new sequencer in it is very modern way of making music. Although I'd like them to make another, more sophisticated synth(what comes to sound generator), but what comes to writing music, M01 has one of my favorite sequencers. Speed composing.

Detune, Please, make something to Wii U. Even thinking about writing music with the stylus and with dat sequencer, but in even bigger screen, makes be happy.

Blergh!

I mean awesome surprise, and very promising game, especially if Wiimote is supported, but damn, take that electric guitar away from Hyrule immediately!!! It makes the fantasy world feel cheap and mundane!!! Take it away even from the trailer!!!

Controllers are hardware, and they became a bottle neck in gameplay a generation ago. In my view, if you don't take popularity into account (because of the difficulty of the marketing of new controllers vs the ease of the marketing of the GPU, especially when the Wii U already softened the blow of the smallest generational leap ever and also got eternally sticking stigma for it), its the others, who are becoming increasingly irrelevant in the gameplay arena, that stems from their limited standard controllers.

I think that Wii U is superior FPS and strategy console...or just superior console in what ever genre, because of its versatile input hardware selection; a tablet controller and a Wiimote. Among a bunch of things, the tablet controller finally makes RTS games possible, like never before in consoles.

Good graphics require good amount of money, great graphics requires great amounts of money, or a shorter game. In my view, if you are aiming to make the best possible game today, the Wii U would be the best possible platform for it.

Its good graphics AND superior gameplay vs just great graphics, but last gen gameplay. I have already gotten bored of PS4 games.

This is Megawesome!!! Thank so much for the interview!!! I have been thinking about Detune a lot lately and hearing, that they are making another music tool for 3DS is the best news of the month!!!

I absolutely cannot wait to see what it is, let alone hear it.

I hope its something, that looks like 3DS-20... or Korg Tri-Ninty

AND

I love the sequencer so much, that I cannot stop dreaming about getting a synth for Wii U too! With even bigger screen, writing music would be even more fantastic. And with that processing power you could make a monster synth!

A joint venture with Detune, Korg and Nintendo for making a software family and a Korg branded Wii U keyboard controller, that takes the tablet controller as its screen.

Wii U Music, that would have a Korg synthesizer as DLC. Family friendly on the top level, with piano lessons and all, but also with a sequencer for writing own music and sharing it with friends. And although synthesizers are not the most interesting applications for Tom, Dick or Harry, I am sure my kids are not the only kids in the world who love to make their own samples and edit them! Also an analog modelling synth with lots of knobs seems to endlessly intrigue at least my kids and their friends.

So Finland is not in Europe!?!?!? Where is it then damnit!?!?!!?

I get less games, because nobody brings games here, and still pay higher prices because of taxes(and then some!), but get nothing even in our regional(and very rare too) special offers.

I AM VERY ANGRY AT YOU NINTENDO!!!

...says albc5023...
I think the U is pretty creative. It has a lot of meaning stuffed into one character.

Its still about same size than Vita.

If it had a battery extender, then it would have been pro.

Are all the other games stuck in there too? This Year I have been mostly playing some german homework and Wheres the Waldo.

I wonder, though, if Capcom is capable of making RE6s menus to run in Wii U.

Co-operation.

Yes. And Left 4 Dead 3 also.

What previous generation he is referring to? Wii or HD-Ready?

^put Motoheroz into that list too.

Support. That is all.

Wii didn't get the support, because the money was invested on wrong horses. Wii U could get it.

Check again. Wii isn't doing so good anymore. Wii U won't necessarily get as astronomical lauch(see 3DS) as Wii, so the next gen might be able to kill it on the spot.

Why did I say "see 3DS"? Sonys DreamCast vs PS2 gambit against 3DS with Vita might have worked and it will probably try it again against Wii U.

Why am I not expecting astronomical launch? Because of the tablet. I love it, and I think its a brilliant move and brilliant gaming device, and I expect great things from it, but it will make the console rather expensive at launch. Its not going to sell @ casual and their kids initially, because its expensive and they are not early adopters either, and the gamers are not going to buy a weak and expensive console.

edit

I checked again my self and Wii is doing fine.

This actually changed the way we play Battleship game on pen and paper.

Its all too common to have nothing for Wii.

I have a bad feeling about this. I'm praying, that they wouldn't screw this up.

I love the touch screen, but I think its already making the console expensive enough to rule out kids at launch, and on other hand you are not going to woo "HC-peasantry" with cheap console, especially as they already have their consoles.

You MUST swallow the console profit making ambitions a bit and make a noticeable jump into next generation. Put some reasonable powerful and forward thinking hardware, and take a little less profit from consoles at this point. Take midrange GPU from upcoming AMD architecture(7850 or something) to go with Power7 and presto, you have a console, that is competitive with anything the others might come up. It would be expensive at start, but could go as affordable as anything they are planning now over the time. They can sell the first 6 months for Nintendo fans, and growing attention from HC gamers would carry them for next two years and at that point they would have cheap platform to sell for birth day present prices.

Nintendo told they have the Wii as a third pillar for the people who find the ready library and cheap price attractive. Thats the one, that they are selling to kids at this point.

Of course there is the factor of man power, the ability to make noticeably more beautiful games and on the other hand, our ability to appreciate them. But there is still at least one big leap ahead(and perhaps real time ray tracing might be achievable after that). At least one console is going to make that jump, and I'd hate to see yet another round of no 3rd parties for Nintendo console, even if I have a PC for playing them.

Of course I shouldn't be so worried, as Nintendo is pretty good at this balance thing, and the garden demo which was not only made in a rush(there was noticeable improvements in its graphics in the show floor inter active demo, compared to the one they showed in the silver screen), but also ran in unfinished platform. Its already good enough to make absolutely stunning experiences, but it might not be easy enough to have multiplatform games, again.

This talking about kids at this point(making the console so cheap they could sell it for kids AT LAUNCH) only makes me a bit nervous, as this might lead into DreamCast situation. With a bit different strategy they could sell the console for kids too just as long as with cheap launch rush, just a bit later.

The second I saw the name, I knew it was going to be hated. I was indifferent, or perhaps a bit disappointed of the similarity with the Wii.

But then its poetic nature started to grow on me. The myriad of words that starts with u and is supposed to be associated with the console is one, but in a way its also possible to look u as an another way to write 2 and to me the letter U means turning back(to collect those who were left behind?), which Nintendo is doing with this console.

I like Wii U, it sounds nice.

No it isn't. Its like complaining, that we get a bike with flat tires and no saddle only every other monday and mama packs freezing cold poison for lunch. If we are lucky.
