With the ps4 losing momentum in Japan to wii u levels and no big game (as long as Im aware of) coming soon for it, I think this is a golden opportunity for Nintendo to make awareness of the console. I hope for marketing bombs over there. Mk8 is a big deal, and even if it's the only one in months to come, they can promote the virtual console with all games they can. All these factors combined could very well be wii u's saving grace
@ShadJV yeah I'm with you. I always defend other m. If people didn't liked how samus was portrayed, just skip the cutscenes and enjoy the music and action which is top notch. Also is curious they called it "less terrible" when they even made a feature defending the game some time back.
i really love Metroid Other M. Why people cant see what the director tried to make us feel? its full of cliches but the core essence of the game is great. i like samus even more thanks to this game.
Fps coming to other console but wii u:"Meh, another generic Fps " A filled trademark from Nintendo :" please! Be a Fps! " cmon guys that's lame. Besides, what would suggest the kind of game just from that name? Could be a Fps or a card game. It may be a codename for the next star fox, who knows. By now it means nothing.
I'm a realistic person, I don't like sugar coat information. If things are bad, I would like to read the true opinions of the journalist. Bad news are always going to have a negative tone, if you wanted the other way around, then you like to be lied. As other guy said above, if you really want to read about rainbows and puppies around nintendo in general, then visit it's oficial page.
ohhh man if im correct thats 4pm here in Mexico and at that time im still at work... will i ever see another live Nintendo direct? well , i guess im skypping gym tomorrow after work
@zoroarkrules25 man, thats a game i would love to watch!
Nintendo should capitalize on this. make advertising targeting +15 pokemon gamers. use celebrities that are really fans of the game and not just actors. if people as "cool" and "sucessful" as him do not feel shame telling other people that he loves to play pkmn games, why should i? because lets be honest, most of teens and adults that like pokemon do not play it on the street or buy the games because they feel embarrasment.
I prefer the western changes. I really like to immerse in the stories of the games I play, and some girls in an epic journey to save the world in panties do not help.
@ZephyrTheLegend well, i rather Jr because he is really funny and he's one of the bad guys. And I think he has appeared in many more games than rosalina.
Great addition, but personally I would have chosen Jr instead any day. He deserves it more than her. But more female fighters are welcomed. More importantly... Where's ma ridley and Isaac!!
more of a rip-off than an inspiration of MK. i mean, c'mon, that short cut from the beach race looks exactly the same like the one from SMK ghost valley
Well, I haven't played any initial D game, but I have seen the animé and it's great! The music used in the races really sets the tone!!! Besides, I'm a passionate race driver!!
I expect mh4 in the West sometime in some form (digital only?) but I really doubt a wii u version. The cost of bringing it for 3ds over wii u should be abismal, furthermore, the install base of both systems is an important point. Although I would rather play it in a big screen
I got my zelda wii u, pkmn y, mh3u and my "gad ever elusive" xenoblade and metroid prime trilogy. My must have wii games collection enters officially in its final lap!
There are no excuses people. Wii U is not selling and it will not sell good this generation, numbers don't lie. When you have a Mario game (regardless 2d, 3d, or one of the best) and sont shift units, then you should REALLY worry. I wold love to facts shut my mouth.
I completely agree with Iwata. Nintendo really needs this "family strategy" this Holiday. Like I said in a previous article, wii u's saving grace for years end are wii sport, wii fit, multi-player Mario and bundles. Don't mind hardcore gamers this Xmas, that ship has sailed, at least for this year. In 5-6 months if they managed to establish the system and rival consoles have similar issues like wii u... Then they should bombard us with tons of ads featuring x, bayoneta, mk8, ssb and the likes.
I would love to see this game on the wii u, I prefer this kind of games on a big screen, but I agree with some people above, capcom is not having the best of times right now, so why would they risk to invest even more in a console with issues like wii u is having? If they bring mh4 they will bring the 3ds version... But I would love to be mistaken haha
Ok lets face it. the time of "just wait for the games" time is over, the games are here, and nothing happens. i believe that wii u will continue struggling all its lifespan because of lots of negative factors like bad advertising, lack of identity for customers (casuals that are not to into videogames like seniors, moms etc), lack of 3rd party support for the "hardcore". and dont expect that the main pillars of nintendo will move to many units or will be the change of fortunes for the wii U, just look at the numbers of the latest console Metroid, Zelda, Mario...they are not that great. in my case, in this whole year since the release of Wii U i only want 1 game, WW HD (i already own the NGC version) and i havent purchaised it, and that makes me think... if someone so in love with Zelda like me havent got a Wii U yet... what about all those people that dont love Nintendo IPs that much? what will drive them to get the console? i think nintendo need a revolucionary mainstream game, or in other words a FPS game that exceeds in what cod or BF provides. why? because most people buy a console to play the next CoD or the next GTA.... is sad, but these times are like this. i really admire Nintendo for the way the do bussiness, always focusing in new experiences and i really like that but most people dont give a dang about that also. if they continue the way they are, their best bet is what is already coming: the bundles, Mario, wii sports, wii fit. those were the franchaises that moved the wii. if they fail... the Wii U will fail. if Wii U dont sell this xmas... then, it will never sell. all is left is hope for the best for Nintendo
After skyward sword, wind waker and a link between worlds, I guess the logical step is going realistic for zelda wii u . Next main entry go crazy with the art style. I think that is a good pace. One realistic, 1-2 artistic ww style. So don't care about heaters. I guess you can't please the fans
I play mmx very frequently just for the music... (dat boomer kuwanger/spark mandrill/flame mammoth /storm eagle tracks) so, music is very important to the experience! In this case, being orchestrated just rises it!
No need for the CPP, the 3ds stand bundled with KI:U is more than enough for me. You do not get tired of holding the system and also let you enjoy the 3D properly.
They could even brand them. For example : n64 classics presents: majoras mask, NGC classics presents: x game. And maybe the box art could be Grey, purple, white to match the color of the console. I drool imagining that collection in my shelf. And now, ill just stop dreaming
I heard that getting shinies is so much easy this time, 1/2000 instead of 1/8000 of previous versions. I would have rather to keep a low chance of getting one.
People saying that we should wait till mk8, ssb etc... Keep on mind that everybody is saying the same thing since Lego undercover, w101, pikmin. So, I don't wanna be a party pooper but I don't think that those titles will change the tides for wii u, they didn't do it for the NGC. Anyway... Can't wait for December to receive my work bonuses! Wii u zelda bundle, a link between worlds(limited edition if it comes to America) and Symphony of the goddesses on Dec 1st!!!!
i dont want to open the kind of tired debate abour other m. i just want to say that its an awesome action game that portraits the feelings of what it seems to be a very cold person, and that i loved the direction they took, regardless of the game´s flaws. Team Ninja delivered a great metroid game, because of the atmosphere, music (dat music!), story and gameplay. i have played the game many times and i think that i will give it another: run tomorrow. the prime trilogy is so excellent but Other:M is also great. and to whoever says that samus is a cold person.... they cant be fans, ´cause they surelly didnt played one of the greatest metroid games of all time, Metroid Fusion. i hope Team Ninja makes Other: M 2, i know they could do an even greater game.
I love my zelda 3ds. the only way I would be willing to upgrade, is if they release that absolutely gorgeous Charizard 3dsxl. In Reggie's words, any other 3ds/xl is a "Meh"
I never decided which one is better, IV or X. I i really enjoyed both of them. Btw... I really miss those kind artworks!! Like contra 3. They are like 80s movie posters!
Many people dont care about the 3D but calling it a gimmick is nonesense. they certainly havent played KI:U. and for the 2DS i really think is a very smart move. lots of manufacturers have an array of different models of the same product ,(samsung anyone?) but nintendo just do the same and everybody loses it cmon guys!
