Why nobody complains about Fallout Shelter, a useless spin-off for mobiles of a great old beloved series? Well, maybe because we'll got Fallout 4 in few months.
@ottospooky You say: "The install base just isn't good enough for AAA titles. Metroid, F-Zero and other franchises really aren't system sellers. Nintendo will not pay high development costs for new games..." I say: This sucks. If true, it means they just don't believe in theirselves. I bet those who complain for the lack of AAA titles are those who bought the Wii U at launch because they believed in Nintendo. GC had 2 Metroid. Wii had 2 Metroid and an optimized port of the GC games. Wii U got a straight port of a port without any kind of optimization. This is the reason why Metroid fans saw Pinball and Hunters as harmless spin off and this thing as a fishbone in their throat.
@Shiryu They sure won't stop, but at this rate I fear I'll die before I'll have the chance to play them! Btw, consider that I recently got a 100% in the last Kirby: it took me less than 5 hours and this sure set me in a pessimistic mood. Let's hope in Yoshi...
@Shiryu My fear is that Nintendo will end up releasing spin off games which need low investments, selling them at full price aside with another wave of amiibos. I know I can refuse to buy them, but if other 2 gamers do than I'll be the minority and I can say goodbye to AAA games.
@BXXL I'm a bit younger than you, but I'm still an aged gamer that love this expensive hobby. With all the bills to pay it's hard to save something for gaming and I hoped that the Wii U, thanks to more power and HD could have been the definitive console, the one I'd played the nintendo classic series in a new shining light and great third party games. Three years later we still don't have a Zelda, a Metroid, a F-Zero and we must consider ourselves lucky if we'll play the first of it next year. It seems that the only way to be not disappointed with Nintendo is having a PS4 next to it... I even wonder in what they are investing all the money they get from these **** amiibos...
@Crimzonlogic I love every single minigame in Nintendoland, but that's different from announcing a new Metroid which is a multiplayer FPS for 3DS while everyone was waiting for a huge Metroid U. First thim I saw this, I thought they should have used the Splatoon brand instead.
The Event just confirmed that I need another console next to my Wii U, but the very same thing happened in the last three generation too. The most disappointing thing is how they used Metroid and Zelda brands to sell us badly disguised mobile games.
Well, we already knew this was coming. No need to put this in the Event since it's just another old game waiting for a western release without a proper release date. Hope it's September.
@Varelius Ok, thanks! To pause the action in a permadeath game resolves everything. The game will be mine now!
EDIT: For some reason I was sure this had an unforgivable and unpausable menu system like Dark Souls that would have made it too hard since there are a lot of menus to scroll. Sometimes I wonder why reviewers don't spend some more words in explaining how a game literally works: the dear old reviews in gaming magazines were 2/3 pages long!
@Captain_Gonru I'd like to try a demo before spending some money. "Choosing what item you have equipped, switching between food and useful items, mixing things together, or moving items around. All of this and more could have been simplified and streamlined by the Gamepad, but [...] instead you have to press a button to bring up the inventory, scroll through it, close the inventory, then hit the corresponding D-pad direction to perform the action. It becomes tiresome quick and yet players will have to perform these actions over and over as they progress through Don’t Starve: Giant Edition."
@rjejr That bundle looks great. I haven't bought a PS4 even when Bloodborne was released and I still play with my 360, but if this Christmas there will be a Fallout 4 bundle, then I'll have no choice...
I'd love to see what Capcom could do with a Wii U, but it seems that Monster Hunter 3U it's all we'll play. No way I'm gonna play it on a 3DS because my eyes and my hands don't like it...
[how things should be in a reasonable world] "What do you think of an Humble Indie Bundle for the eShop?" "Good idea! But remember to choose only games that are corrently available in all regions so we can sell them worldwide!"
Why they don't sell this stuff for real money on their site? If they ask 500 coins (= 2 games) just for a 3ds menu theme, how much can they ask for a diorama or a figurine?!?
Maybe the extra $ 15 is for amiibo support! Won't you happily spend some more money to play as Mario in a SNES look-a-like videogame!?! It would be awesome!!!
When I saw the bundle, for the fist time I was tempted to get an amiibo and that made me feel strange. Now that the price is out, I'll go for me the game alone. Phew!
@GreatPlayer I know that Pikmin 3 is awesome and this is way I bought it as soon as it was released, with all the following dlc. But its still an industrial product. According to your logic, Nintendo should ask € 60 for most of its games, even if 30 years old. Half of my 360 library is made of Goty and Classics edition of great games and if they are sold at € 20/30 its because they can still earn money from them at that price. Nintendo policy about games pricing is just crazy and unrealistic.
