@meltendo Im with you, i like how X&Y doesnt just magicly exclude pokemon from other regions and has a fairly decent spread. (although for the life of me cant find a koffing). Personally i think we might keep seeing these minor additions in each game but bringing in more of the backlog.
@ferthepoet It all depends on your house and where you have your Wii U. Basically the Gamepad doesnt have much range because Nintendo put in a "if its not this good dont work" type of mechanic with the signal strength otherwise what your seeing and whats happening on the console wouldn't sync up.
General rule of thumb i have noticed
The signal can go through two thin walls or one thick wall easily
If your house has some sort of metal or vinyl siding dont expect to make it to the porch.
Put your Wii U upstairs and for the most part you can reach all of the floor below.
Off of my list i have been able to do all those things personally with no extra effort except for the porch one at my original place due to the layout and placement of the console .
@Kaze_Memaryu Thanks, i do work in Marketing and it would be VERY awesome to work at Nintendo NA .Maybe i will have to make the video and send that in with a resume.
@ChessboardMan I personally would disagree based off of my experience. Its so little information it wont leave any real impression. But here is the fun part of marketing, this conversation we are having right now is thanks to that one picture which was its goal in the first place. Get people talking and spreading the word.
@superstick i know the feeling, thats why i took care of that problem and i am currently waiting on UPS to get here with my 3DS XL
@ChessboardMan to build interest, your release a picture that just gives you barely enough but its more then you had before(which was most likely nothing). If i saw a release for Ironfall before this i would of had no interest, now i know just a tiny little bit about it which is enough for me to read or look at the pictures of the proper reveal.
@Volmun I doubt we will see something like a full blown MMO, but games that fall into the MO(instead of MMO) where they are hub based like Phantasy Star or since we are talking Third person shooters Global Agenda would fit in perfectly.
@Prof_Elvin_Gadd Of course it can be good, i just want it to be some cross in terms of scale between gears of war and Shadowrun rather then leaning towards shadowrun (which is fun for a phone game but not a 3DS)
@volmun it would be interesting if the game was set up like FireFall
@thesilverbrick Sadly it depends on your house and your placement of the Wii U. Before i moved i lived at the end of the house so i couldnt go anywhere with it because the signal had to go through several walls. Now with my new place its dead center and it reached everywhere.
@sinalefa The confusing part is the Wii in the title for a game that is for Wii U. The Wii U has a terrible branding issue due to not differentiating enough from the Wii so people still arnt to sure what it is. Having this called Wii Sports club justs adds to the issue. Obviously this isnt an issue with us on a Nintendo message board, but these commercials arnt for us.
@lbs Soft voice + a Voweltastic language . Not to mention there is some primal attraction that exists with foreign voices for some reason (perhaps due to knowing they have diverse genes compared to yours? )
Now could we get some US advertising. I keep saying Nintendo needs some sort of advertisement showing where you can use the Wii U gamepad, it could be funny :
Cooking in the Kitchen? Put Netflix on and keep watching or Youtube to follow a recipe
Outside having a smoke? No more Angry Birds with that cig; you’re now hunting Rathalos in Monster Hunter
Taking an extended sit on the toilet ? Words with friends pffffft; you’re now playing Mario in a tanooki suit stomping on goombas in Super Mario Bros U
In the tub taking a bath? No more just listening to music; you’re captaining the Jack Doll and finding booty in Assassins Creed 4
Socializing in the Living room with family you’re not fond of? No more fondling your phone hoping for someone to get back to you to save you from this misery; you get to hunt down the Joker and his thugs because you’re Batman!
Also WHY is this called Wii Sports Club? Thats just running into the same problem before with consumers not knowing the difference.
Love how this comes after Mighty No 9 kickstarter, looks like someone in management woke up.
Now bring Monster Hunter 4 over to Wii U in the West!
Make a New Megaman Series
Bring Resident Evil back to its former glorly
Its amazing how capcom can just ignore its strengths in some of its brands .
@belmont You could just get a generic pre load debit card. As for how you pick your version, you will be contacted once release is around the corner asking what code you would like.
I am much more excited then before, this was a maybe at best before. Now its a I HAVE TO HAVE IT!$!!%$r@#%@!#%
However my question is how will the end game be for this game? Will we have just a star world, or will we have like SMG where we had green stars on top of the star world.
I feel some companies should take a look at oddworld in terms of how it came back into the limelight without crowdsourcing. First thing they did was make an HD version of their games to bring in the revenue, now are remaking their most famous game, which will then lead to new games.
Here is where this statement falls flat, kids are not purchasing Ipads. Parents are the ones who are purchasing these products and the parents are the one who grew up with Nintendo. Also lets not forget the price difference, 2DS = $120 Lowest Model Ipad(mini) = $329
Nintendo's goal at this point should be to simply build an even larger first and second party base to have a large exclusive library. This would make it so you buy a Wii U for XyZ games beyond from traditional nintendo titles. Let Xbox and Playstation duke it out, they are so close to each other in what they offer its not even mentioning. Nintendo needs to focus on not being THE game console your purchase but ONE of the game consoles your purchase.
@rjejr Im so sad it lost Madden, the gamepad is PERFECT FOR A FOOTBALL GAME. People always talk about gimmicks but a football game is perfect for the gamepad as it actually adds to the game.
@citizenerased Agreed, once that it in place i will make every game i purchase except good local multiplayer games digital (want to bring them to friends houses without lugging the Wii U)
