@imageform Excellent letter, and I'm downloading right now. I will tell you my opinion on the game once finished, like I did with Dig. Just remember perfect games don't exist, so stay humble as you all are and keep learning from genuine complaints/suggestions, like I believe you did.
A particular thank you goes to I&F for supporting the "Nintendo community", as you call it, keep up the good work.

I like nearly all the OST, apart from the NLA music, that gets me on my nerves after a while.

Drop it to £15, I might bite.

I'll buy it if/when it gets good GP use.

@gatorboi352 And yet, a launch title (Sonic Racing) did that with no problem. It should be a no-brainer, really. 2P: 1st on the GP, 2nd on tv. 3P: 1st on GP, other 2 split tv screen. I would stop at 3 players, if the framerate has to suffer. And BTW, framerate problems are not exclusive to WiiU; PS4 and X1 have their fair share too.

"Damn, that's really violent. Does the violence have to be this graphic?"
Love the guy, just for this. It takes courage to say it, these days.

It's a truly epic and enormous adventure, every WiiU owner should go out and buy a copy. Or two.

Online play?

IGN: too much headgear.
But seriously, what can I say to I&F? Chapeau! 😒

Zelda U released on thursday confirmed. 😝

I'll wait for the WiiU version.

"..the codename NX...I don't know where it came from." Pffft...hahaHAHAHA!
IT BETTER BE BC WITH WII AND WII U, Kimishima-san. That's all I have to say.

A well done video indeed, thanks!

@iaLgan Where are you? On ebay uk you can get it for about £20.

@TheRealThanos As I said, lots of memories are still vivid, but I often forget the name of old games I played, I have to go look for it. That's what age and having kids does to you, lol.

Awesome, day 1!

I'd prefer a Rune Factory game on WiiU.

@Shiryu Understandably, this article was more of a love letter to XC, which I subscribe, even though I haven't still finished it. And in a few days the new adventure will start, welp!
But maybe one day you should write an article (or a book, who knows) about your gaming memories, it seems like you still have most of them intact. I'm very envious, as unfortunately all my gaming memories are there in my head, but all intertwined, overlying one another, some clear as day, others fading. Maybe that's because they're too many, having started gaming in the -now far- '84, with my faithful C64.
Or maybe I'm just old... yes, that's definitely it, 😧

Nice Hobbit reference, there. Makes me sad to think we are still, to this day, waiting for a game based on the LotR universe that would make justice to it. Maybe one day, one day our paths will lead us there.

Nooo, too soon! I'm kidding, BRING IT ON!

@imageform Excellent, will definitely support you then, since it looks like you listened to the criticism Dig received.

It's all about replayability, really. That was the first game bigger problem, imo. Anyone knows if this one has some sort of 'after-game' content, whether is some sort of game+ or extra randomly generated maps?

Mmmh...no, thanks. I'll be too busy with XCX, Zelda U, Star Fox and GIR#FE in 2016.

XC is mine, can't resist at that price. Don't know if I'll manage to finish it before XCX arrives, though...

@Eviscerator_X Since you seems fairly interested in the nintendo-related curiosities, I came across this the other day, which I found pretty neat:

I know it's not a new story, but I don't recall NL covering it (might have missed it, of course).

Beating Nintendo? If they were going to make it run on a WiiU, yes. As it is, nice -but pointless- exercise.

@Nintendofan83 Thanks, grew up with it (and Nausicaa, Goldrake/Grendizer, Lupin III, etc). Good times.
Still, on topic: nobody knows whether they need to be installed, these files? Internal only or external hdd is fine too?

XCX £32.99 @ base.com.

Do they have to be downloaded on the internal 32gb memory or it's fine on the ext.hdd?

Here's hoping the update comes within 2015…. I also hope some of my suggestions were taken in consideration

VERY interested, and I like the "early adopters discount" ideas. Speaking of which, still waiting for Cypronia to release the Cube Life update....could you get on the case, NL? 👿
Edit: ok, never mind, I just realized I missed the NL article about it from few days ago. Back to waiting.

I agree, one of the best titles on the eshop.

Jurassic World is decent. Even good, at times.
Speaking of huge beasts, I'm looking forward to XCX, pretty sure that will repay some people (not all, some can't be pleased no matter what) of the Wii U 'shortcomings' in 2015...

There's something unsettling about seeing that "Terrible" next to a score, can't put my finger on it.😝

Well, music sounds fittingly country, so...yeah. Not interested in the genre, though (both game AND music), it's a pass from me.

@Fee I can't see a more shallow reason than the one people are using to justify (or pretend to, I suspect - and hope, in a way) boycotting the game. Again, bye now, had enough trolling for one article, lol.

@Yorumi It's not difficult to understand, by removing as little content as possible (in a huge game, AND leaving a great deal of customization, I might add) they made it more accessible to the people (I agree, we're getting less by the hour) who find such content inappropriate. They obviously didn't account for all the little entitled gamers/trolls of the west, who thinks (or pretend to, I'm still convinced a true gamer couldn't miss it for this) that removing a girl in a skimpy outfit and a slider would be a game-breaker. Bye now, I took the bait for too long already.

@Fee I'm not very good at what, complaining about the removal of something I already deem inappropriate? I'm glad I'm not very good, then!
It's clear they done it to increase the target audience, whether or not that affects the rating is something those boards should reveal, or Nintendo. It's just the logical explanation, not because they're "prude" or something, they're about making money, after all.

@Fee Well, you're new to me, and maybe you're new to ratings. Instead of 12 it might have been 16 or 18, hence diminishing the number of potential buyers.
But thanks, I'm old enough to appreciate the "new", I don't get called that very often, lol

@kobashi100 lol@"new technology", honestly. I was there, I remember people (not me, I can't give a rats about console wars, or wars in general) saying things like "wowzer, 2gb ram for a console, that's like 3-4 times ps3/x360, etc". Then when ps4/x1 came out, "wowzer2, 8gb ram, etc". Guess what, IT'S STILL ARCHAIC COMPARED TO MODERN GAMING PCs! Stop with this nonsense, companies do things differently, Nintendo wanted to have bc for the wii u, and I am glad they did. Ps4 has lots of ports? Who cares, I'm glad they did, so people can enjoy last gen gems, me I'm still happy with my ps3.

I can't believe real gamers are complaining about this. Of course that has been done to make the game rating available to more people, hence increasing chance of sales, since it's already considered a "niche" game.
Again, I wouldn't imagine a gaming enthusiast missing it for this, but to compensate I'll go and order another copy, you never know (and I already ordered 2).

Well, there goes one of my most anticipated indie titles for the U. Fair enough, will be plenty busy with XCX.

@ikki5 Bless you, keep living in your little world. Unfortunately we live in a world where EVERYTHING is sexualized, where the bigger entertainment industry IS about sex, the most clicked websites ARE about sex, and so on. Having said that, I don't think this would make anything better, I just cannot accept people getting mad at ANY company for this. But yes, if you REALLY think that, then good for you, and if EVERYONE was like that, then censorship wouldn't have any reason to exist.

There's already enough sex and violence in the gaming world (as well as the real one, yes), so every "censorship" made is irrelevant, really. A case of "too little, too late".
And with everything that's going on in the world, people are complaining about this? Wow, just wow...

10-15 secs shaved off on fast travel, not too shabby.

Wow, a whole 15 secs of ZeldaU...👿
And what, no Minecraft announcement?

Also, will you guys be providing a link to the Direct? Cheers.

ZeldaU footage is way overdue, hope they deliver. Quite happy about Minecraft, too, tbh.

Nobody can hear you Dave in space.

@IceClimbers @Firlow I might have used the word "spoiler" inappropriately, I just want to discover everything in-game, that's what I mean by that, gameplay mechanics included.
Also, if I haven't seen any videos about it (including this one), I wouldn't know what's in there, wouldn't I? 😝
