@GreatPlayer I don't suck at the game, Sonic Team sucks at designing levels. You would have understood this if you had properly read what I wrote instead of using me to try to put everyone you're trolling about being bad at games in their place. Have fun defending bad games and being generally unpleasant.
Patches can't fix the complete nosedive in level quality the game takes around world 4. I was so excited for this game after how close Sonic Generations was to being a great game and now I'm back to the post Sonic 2006 and Shadow the Hedgehog level of cynicism for any Sonic Team game.
I'm hoping this is the first step towards an account along the lines of Steam where I can play my games on multiple machines without having to do system transfers and the Virtual Console titles I buy can be played on Wii U or 3DS without having to buy separate copies for each system.
I'm really hoping this is the first step towards more Persona games coming to Nintendo consoles. I would buy 3DS ports of Persona 3 and Persona 4 in a heartbeat. I would also be ecstatic if Persona 5 made it's way to the Wii U eventually.
I honestly don't care what lifetime sales of the Wii U are as long as the system gets to a place where sales are profitable and we get a steady stream of first party Nintendo games. I play most third party games on PC so I want my Wii U for Nintendo games. Next year is looking great already with Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, and Super Smash Bros. There is also the Monolith Soft game, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, and a new Legend of Zelda at some point in the future along with the surprise games Nintendo always have up their sleeves.
I already own Deus Ex: Human Revolution on PC but I imagine this will be another case like Batman: Arkham City where I go ahead and pick up the Wii U version cheap to see the differences the gamepad offers (also because I like playing games more from the comfort of my couch).
This is non-news either way. We know Game Freak would get around to remaking these games at some point as they have with the others. If things go by their usual pattern we'll get Pokemon W or Z (possibly X2 and Y2) in a year to a year and a half. After that we'll likely get the Ruby and Sapphire remakes as it's easier for Game Freak to remake a world instead of coming up with a whole new one. If the 3DS generation lasts as long as the DS (which it likely will), then we'll get the next generation near the end of the handheld's life cycle.
I hope with the enemies showing damage they are going RPG style leveling up like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It would help alleviate some of the tedium of fighting enemies that Risky's Revenge suffered from. I liked that game but eventually gave up due to hating battles with regular enemies.
I don't particularly care about playing games like this on my Wii U. I bought my Wii U primarily to play Nintendo games and third party games designed specifically for the console. I will play games like Watch_Dogs on my PC a few months after release when there is a price drop or good sale on Steam.
I'd say this is a fair score. I love the Breath of Fire series but the SNES entries are more of nostalgic playthorughs for me than for entertainment. I can't repeatedly play them in the same way I can Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, or Chrono Trigger.
I admire what the Treehouse employees do but wish there were a better process of deciding what makes it out West, especially when it comes to older games that can easily and cheaply be released in the E-shop like Sin & Punishment was on the Wii. You can't tell me there wouldn't be an audience for the NES Earthbound, Mother 3, the various NES and SNES Fire Emblem titles, and other various Nintendo games that haven't been released outside of Japan. The translations don't have to be Treehouse perfect for those games as Western gamers would just be happy to legitimately play them and a company like XSeed would likely be cheap to contract for such a task.
I downloaded Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, Breath of Fire II, and Summer Carnival '92 RECCA; easily the most I've downloaded for both platforms in the same day.
I don't really care what Bethesda and EA do with their money. Both are playing a high stakes game where most of their products have massive budgets and they need access to the hardware to get the most bang for their buck. They need millions of sales for their games to keep going. Nintendo is focusing on devices that don't require the largest budgets and pushing tech forward, making them a safer investment for people developing for them.
This is only the third Kickstarter I've contributed to but with Keiji Inafune involved and it being a spiritual successor to the Mega Man series there was no way I was passing it up.
I don't mind it being digital only if it is cheaper than the current 3DS games that are also released in retail. They're supposedly doing this because selling the game physically would be too cost prohibitive (which considering how often I saw the first Phoenix Wright in bargain bins is probably true) but publishing digital only is substantially cheaper so they should pass on some of the savings to the consumer. Since the game is the same quality as a retail experience a $30 price tag seems perfectly fair.
Dennis Dyack had a great relationship with Nintendo and threw it away to create increasingly mediocre HD games while destroying a once great publisher and putting a lot of people out of work. As much as I love Eternal Darkness, I was never going to put money into a project that he is involved with. If Precursor drops him and launches a Kickstarter with the exact same benefits as this most recent failure, I'll gladly kick in $20 to play a spiritual sequel to Eternal Darkness on the Wii U.
I just bought my Wii U so I have plenty of games to keep me busy until September but I can understand how this is frustrating for those who have been expecting to play this game since July. I'll keep $15 in my e-shop account and keep playing Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper to get my beat-em up fix until next month.
I would love to see Team Ninja team up with Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda 51 to make a No More Heroes sequel. I think Suda 51 could do some hilarious things with the Wii U Game Pad and Team Ninja could provide the tight combat that the first two games lacked.
I'm terrible at them but I still buy SHUMPS when a good one comes along. Hopefully it comes to the US so it can sit in a 3DS folder with Summer Carnival 92 for 3DS games I would like to complete but woefully lack the skills to do so.

Re: Video: Fresh Footage Of 3DS Action RPG Swords & Darkness Emerges From The Shadows
This looks really generic and not that much fun to play with the slow animations.
Re: Sonic Lost World Gets Patched Up On Wii U
@GreatPlayer Keep on trolling because it and bad Sonic games are clearly all you have.

Not a fan of pubescent looking girls being sexualized so I'll pass.
Re: Marth Confirmed as the Latest Challenger in Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS
I really wished they had used the "Marth" from Fire Emblem: Awakening. I mean, they still could but it feels less likely at this point.

Re: Review: Super Castlevania IV (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
I never played this game all the way through, just rentals back in the day, so I'll be picking this up today. Looking for some Dracula slaying fun.
Re: Nicalis Quizzes Fans Over Potential For a Physical Release of the Cave Story 3DS eShop Version
I would prefer a new Cave Story.

Re: First Impressions: Shovel Knight
I regret not backing this on Kickstarter but will buy it as soon as it's available on Wii U.

Re: Mega Man, Shin Megami Tensei And Ganbare Goemon Sequels Coming To Japanese Virtual Console Services
I'm holding out hope for Legend of Mystical Ninja to make it's way over here but I won't hold my breath on Shin Megami Tensei II.
Re: Youkai Watch Receiving A New Game in Japan Already
I would play this game if it came to the west. I'd also be perfectly fine with an E-Shop only release like Phoenix Wright.
Re: Publishers Reveal Sales Figures for Skylanders and Disney Infinity
I'm picking up Infinity to play with my daughter. She loves Disney movies and is still too young to care much about Skylanders.
Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies Set To Take The Stand in October
I'll be buying this day one to support the business model of digital only releases of titles that would be riskier at retail.
Re: Mighty No. 9 Passes Wii U Stretch Goal With A Fortnight Remaining
I'm definitely picking the Wii U version once funding ends and they send out e-mails for which version you'd like.

Re: WayForward Launches Kickstarter Campaign for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
I hadn't backed a Kickstarter since Massive Chalice. In the past week I've backed Mighty No. 9 and now I'm a proud backer of Shantae: Half-Genie hero.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara Battles to North America This Week
I've had some E-shop credit sitting in my account, waiting for this for a while now. I look forward to playing it on my days off this week.
Re: Jools Watsham Offers to Help Create a 3DS Version of Mighty No. 9
I don't mind this idea but I have a feeling it would ultimately result in a watered down port along the lines of Rayman Origins 3DS.

Re: Wii Party U Dated, Will Come Bundled With a Wii Remote Plus Controller
I was going to pick this up at some point. Since it's bundled with a Wii Remote Plus I guess that will be launch day now.
