I'm gutted, another year to wait. It would've been a nice gesture to Wii u owners to release it this year for them so they get it early and then an nx port later. I don't think it would've hurt sales, it could even improve them as people would probably want to play it as early as possible on Wii u, then the nx version would appeal to new nd owners and there would be plenty of people who would double dip if it is enhanced. The way they've decided to do it means there is very little point in even having a Wii u version now.
I'm pretty sure that Kimishima said that the NX would be something completely different to the Wii u and wanted to get away from the Wii branding so I would be surprised if there was a screen involved with the controller as that would very much link it to the Wii u. They've not done anything particularly exciting with the second screen which shows that as a feature a second screen has limited use
So far my nintendo is a big disappointment. The only thing even remotely interesting right now is twilight princess picross. I miss club nintendo and it's physical rewards
What is the point of this if true. Wii u owners who will get the nx will already have these and if they didn't entice people to get a Wii u to play them why would it make a difference on a new console? I want new games on nx not the same ones I've been playing for the last two years.
@Kroko Totally agree, seems to just be somewhere for people to moan. It is pretty obvious that this not every level and that isn't "blind faith" it's based on what has already been stated and the conventions of the game it is paying homage to
No one said you should be excited about just a bit weird how angry you are about it that's all. I'm actually looking forward to trying out the controls and also there is a co-op mode, so what if it isn't exactly the one you want but it is there. You must have seen a lot more of the game than everyone else to know how many enemies are on screen. I haven't noticed in any of the stuff I've watched. I think you are being way to hard on it but that's up to you
@Yorumi Wow calm down, I think you have some issues. I think it's actually going to be pretty great from what I've seen despite all the moaning, of which yours is an extreme case
@rjejr Funny you bring up Starfox Adventures, I think no voice acting would have improved that game. I hope we don't remember the new Zelda for rubbish voice acting
@rjejr I would much rather actually be playing an action scene than watch it played out in a cutscene with voice acting and when exposition or character development is needed read the text on screen. Some games I like voice acting in and some it isn't necessary, which I feel is the case with Zelda. Playing TPHD has reminded me how much personality can be achieved without voices
It is ridiculous that there has been no 3ds nomination in the last few years but I have to say that I can't really think of a game that deserved one this time
I already have these, apart from Wii party U, and to be honest most Wii u owners should too. Great for anyone who doesn't though. I do wonder how people can complain about a lack of games for Wii u and not have these already though
I don't understand this modern obsession with framerates. It might just be me but I honestly never notice these things unless it's cripplingly obvious. Are people just mentioning it to sound like they know what they're talking about? This game looks like a lot of fun though
Gen 6 was my least favourite by some distance so I'll be glad to see the back of it and move on to a new one. I like the look of the new logos and names
I'm excited but to me this isn't really a direct if it's only 5 mins. They've probably just called it one because they know people are desperate but haven't got a full one ready for a while yet

I'll believe it when I see it
Re: Sega's Shinobi Series Is Getting The Big Screen Treatment
I'd rather SEGA actually made games of their old series rather than movies of them.

Re: Unannounced First And Third-Party 3DS Games In Development, States Nintendo
I hope one of them is a 2d metroid game and an advance wars too, been far too long for both

It gets worse

Re: Rumour: Xbox Store Listing Indicates That Mighty No. 9 Has Been Delayed Until December
@Sanicranfast Who said it is coming this year though?
Re: Rumour: Xbox Store Listing Indicates That Mighty No. 9 Has Been Delayed Until December
I wonder whether the new Zelda will actually come out before this!
Re: Western Localisation Of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Features Costume And Age Changes
Really pathetic changes. I normally don't care about this stuff but it's becoming a bit ridiculous now.
Re: Atlus Is In Charge Of Localising Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE In The West
Good, NOA translations over the last few years have been awful.
Re: Toys-To-Life Newcomer Thinks We're Growing Bored Of Pieces Of Plastic
What exactly is his company doing to innovate then?
Re: Talking Point: PS4K 'Neo', NX and Supplemental Computing Devices - Home Console Gaming May Be Changing
Why is there so much talk about the PS4K here? This is a Nintendo site.

@Toadsfriend Totally agree with you

@whodatninja Yes that too!

Re: Splatoon's New Update Just Went Live
What it really needs are some new single player modes
Re: May Issue of CoroCoro Magazine to Bring Huge Scoop on Pokémon Sun and Moon
I'm pretty disappointed as I was expecting this month to have a reveal. Feels a bit trolly
Re: Rumour: More Claims Made For New Legend of Zelda on Wii U and NX, Gender Choice For Playable Character
Horrible, really hope all three are wrong

I got it early yesterday and played it last night. Seems like a lot of fun.
Re: Admit It, You Want This Splatoon Splattershot Water Pistol
@LordGeovanni This is different to that one so I think the quality will be better, if nothing else it is much bigger
Re: Star Fox Zero Will Include An Invincible Mode For Inexperienced Players
@Kirk Hmm, I bet that happens a lot
Re: Star Fox Zero Will Include An Invincible Mode For Inexperienced Players
@Xenocity What are you talking about?This is a really pathetic attitude and people need to get a grip if this is upsetting them in any way
Re: Star Fox Zero Will Include An Invincible Mode For Inexperienced Players
@Kirk If you've actually tried it out fair enough, if not you sound a bit ridiculous

Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force is Coming Sooner Than Expected
I'm this will be pretty good to play but I have no enthusiasm for it. Graphically looks worse than Metroid Prime Hunters from 10 years ago.
