Re: Review: Tetris Ultimate (3DS)

@crzysortagamer I just bought the Axis a couple of days ago, as I loved the Party and the Axis seems to build upon that. (the eShop version might not be named Axis though).

It is excellent, fully loaded,, affordable and there are enough players for not having to wait for too long...usually. On two occasions I have had to wait for a couple of minutes, but usually there is at least someone waiting, and I have found 4-6 player matches at least daily. (At least with items on. I have not yet played with items off).

I welcome new players with open arms though, just in case.

I would have paid 60€ for gyro controls alone. I cannot even stand how cluncy the shooting with last gen controllers look, let alone how they feel.

Gyro controls together with this interactive map would have been easy to implement, and would have made meaningful additions compared to version not having them.

Re: Hands On: Wii U GameCube Controller Adapter

Does anyone have one of those "GameCube-style" -controllers, that are made by PDP? I wonder how tight they are.

I have a problem. I cannot play Smash withh Pro controller, and I am digital only kind of guy, so I need USB for a hard disk.

Re: Sonic Boom Exploit Allows Players to Skip Large Sections of the Game

Varoennauraa

I never use exploits, so it doesn't concern me.

The fps, on other hand, does even more so.

I would have bought it for the co op, but it seems, that it was an after thought, that they came up with on half way during the development. The co op with own screen for each player is such a big forte of the hardware, that it is such a big bummer, when it is done half heartedly, that I am skipping this all together.

If they started with the idea of co op(with private screens), they could have designed levels, that work without coughing blood. Now it looks as if they down graded the graphics and it still judders.

Re: Review: Falling Skies: The Game (Wii U eShop)

@rylo151 it's more about fulfilling genre needs, than copying a particular game though. I was so excited to see XCom like game on Wii U, that I didn't care about the graphics or voice acting at all. Actually, SO excited, that I thought it quite looked good. But sleeping AI, that has to be 'triggered' awake might break the game for me, so I don't dare place a full game price anymore.

Are the environments destroyable?

Re: Former President Of Silicon Knights Announces New Entertainment Company, QE2

There is money on the Wii U table. Six million consoles before Mario Kart 8, starving for quality games. There are whole genres waiting for someone taking the monopoly. Not horror so much, as there is the Fatal Frame, but you could make pretty attractive horror game on Wii U. Just imitate the Siren series gimmick, and you already have so tempting game, that people are buying system for it.

Re: Review: Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)

Varoennauraa

I didn't like this one so much. It was ok, but a huge let down compared to my expectations. The next one was only a mild let down, and the last one in the GBA trilogy even exceeded my expectations. And the DS Castlevanias continued exceeding my heightening expectations. I hope they will continue releasing DS Castlevanias shortly after the GBA vanias.

LEVEL EDITOR!!!! HAHAHAHAHHAAAA!!!! I AM SO HAPPY, THAT I AM LAUGHING AND CRYING AT THE SAME TIME!!!!

I am so happy, that even if I didn't get anything else for the whole generation, I would still be in ecstasy.

The level editor here is JUST what I was praying for. I would have settled for a block based editor, but being able to draw levels with a "pencil" is one of the best features on the system. And thank god for sharing as well.

Creativity and content sharing is one of the mega trends in this generation and this is one aspect, where Wii U shines.
