@scamander I think it's the same direct. It says (if my german is good enough) that it will be 05/09 at midnight! And that 05/09 looks so american!!! Here in EU we'd say 09/05...
What do you think guys of the four buttons all in the same raw? (L,ZL,R,ZR) My old 3ds is still perfect and the CPP makes me feel I'm holding a normal joypad instead of a flat one. I'll give this a chance only if mine will explode!
@accc Gamers have to open their wallets to play games, journalists are paid to play them. It's sad to say, but critics should always consider the price/game value ratio in their reviews because videogames can be cosidered "art", but they are still an industrial product.
@OmegaStar Animal Crossing is safe, don't worry (and this is why the West now has Tomodachi Life too). I think he is talking about those games like Brain Age and Nintendogs: you can have the same thing on a tablet for few bucks and Nintendo just can't ask €40 for them... Hope something new and big is coming (Wii U needs big RPG, FPS and TPS).
Is it too late to "update" the discs? I mean, it's so sad when you put a brand new game in your console and you can't play it immediately like in the old days... I'm too old for these things...
SteeamWorld Dig: from Cross Play to Cross Pay! I dont' have Mario Kart 8, but I'd like to download these lovely Mercedes so I'll be able to drive them in Hyrule Warriors and Zelda U: that would be great!!!
The guy is right. And I hope everyone here supported Ubi buying the incredible Child of Light. Dont' blame them if they won't support Wii U in the future: Nintendo can't force a 3rd party to downgrade their next products.
Even a fly in a soup is free, but I still don't like it. It's not a matter of DLC or advertising: the car just don't fit. It's like putting a Mario kart in Forza Motorsport... A McDonald or a Gamestop in a Grand Theft Auto would make the city more realistic, but if you put one of them in Zelda or Dark Souls, then there's something wrong!
@placidcasual What? I'm happy you have money to waste, but please don't instigate these foulnesses. The Wii U doesn't need another 5 years old game at full price...
@Peach64 I'm with you. It started with a "Free Bayonetta inside" and it may ends with Bayonetta 2 for € 59 and Special Edition for € 69!!! In that case, I'll be ok with my old 360 version...
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii-U/Bayonetta-2-765382.html#Special_Edition Hope it's true, but I can't find anything specific about 2 discs in one packaging: "Available from day one, discover a special edition package containing both Bayonetta 2 and the original Bayonetta, newly enhanced with Wii U exclusive content and features."
Thanks to the gamepad, we have basically two cloches (the analogue sticks), each one with two buttons (LB+ZL and RB+ZR), eight front buttons (cross on the left and A,B,X,Y on the right) and a huge space for extra buttons and levers (the touchscreen). Now give us a mech sim too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGgxRsaGdcA
@aaronsullivan Ok, but for example if you buy a Toy Story set for Disney Infinity, you basically buy a dlc with hours of new gameplay. With Amiibo you get only few extras for a full game and this should be considered when we talk about prices.
Am I wrong or the Skylander and Disney figures actually work as DLC for sandboxs games? Since now, Amiibo has very inferior value because they just offers minor extras to an already complete game.
What about a "Fan Edition" of their upcoming games with the proper amiibo included? Something like Yoshi's amiibo for free (or hardly discounted at least) if you pre order Yoshi's Whooly World?
I just think the gamepad is a controller with a touch screen in the middle.
DCK does not use it and I love the game.
Zombi U uses it for maps and inventory and I love the game.
Wonderful 101 uses it in a weirdly Platinum style and I love the game.
Pikmin 3 uses it for extra stuff and I love the game.
It seems all depends on developers, not on the controller.
For those who already played the first Bayo: are you gonna play directly the second one or will you play the two game in a row? Hope there's a in game reward (Bayo 1 had many) if you play B2 after B1: it would be in the lovely masochist Platinum style!
Great job, Nintendo! I planned to buy a PS4 in 2015, but it seems I won't need it at all! Now I hope they create for next Christmas a WiiU Classics collection, with games like Lego City, Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3 for €25/30, filling the gaps between Hyrule Warriors and 2015 for newcomers.
I know people in UK can't care less about localization, but for all other countries this is crap. € 40, only english, only digital, one year later. Back in the 90's!!!

@Alucard83 For once I tried to sound optimist and you laugh at me... Obviously I can't buy this, I'm saving money for the GC adapter! I need it to play at high level with a 13 years old gamepad on my brand new 2 years old console!!!
Inside a Nintendo headquarter, two years ago... "Here's the Gamepad! The controller of the future!" "Hey, wait... Why no analogue triggers?" "Because in the future we'll sell adapters and GC controllers!" "Hey, wait... Are our loyal customers so stupid to spend money on those things?" "Yes!"
@Tlink7 Ganondorf MUST be a playable character, even because Fist of the North Star, which has the smallest roster between Warriors games, has 10 playable characters...
Well, it's € 30 ($ 40) here in Italy... Holy ____!
@Knightrider666 "Did you forget that if you're system is lost or stolen you lose all your downloads?": Do you think Nintendo will ever stop blackmailing its customers if we continue to support them without complaining about this? (I know it's a third party game, but they just act in the nintendo way...)
@cyrus_zuo "If I wanted that kind of juvenile gaming I'd have an Xbox." Thank god I've a 360 next to my WiiU so I can play juvenile games like Fallout, Mass Effect, Dead Space and even those JRPGs that I can't play on the nintendo consoles just because they don't exist.
@KoiTenchi I just can't understand how someone can still agree with their policy about digital. They ask more and give us less, and it's ok for most of the gamers. For example I use to play Wii Party when my sister's kids visit me with their copy of the game. Now I'd like to download Wii Party U for € 10/15, but obviously Nintendo prefers to (not) sell it at full price...
@faint So they will remove it after the promo? BTW, I can't care less for that game, I'm just scared and bored by their insane policy about digital games!
"Wii Party U (Nintendo, $TBC)" No wiimote means the game should cost $ 10. If it will be $ 39 (or even higher!), I swear I'll never download anything from them anymore.
