This would be more believable if it wasn't for the numerous devs who have stated pulicly that the Wii U is easy to develop for. Are we to forget that when an anonymous person who claims to have developed a Wii U game claims it's difficult?
@Pit-Stain It was bundle, the only way for many to get a PS4 was to buy the Knack bundle. It's also telling that this only happened in the UK, the only place Knack was bundled (AFAIK).
@Einherjar New ground? They are using x86, the PC standard for years, shouldn't that make it easy to program for, as most third parties already know the hardware very well?
I love my iPad, I use it all the time. I have GTA3 on it. I hardly play GTA3, though, because it sucks to play it without a controller. Hopefully this game will support controllers when iOS comes.
But even if the controller issue is fixed, the game is over a decade old. Tablets and smartphones might take over gaming when we they get the same games as the home consoles, at the same quality. Until then:
@tchaten What WiFi lag? It connects to the TV via HDMI (which would lag a bit) and to your phone via Bluetooth. Not WiFi, but damn Bluetooth. The lag wouldn't be bad, it would be unbearable.
@WinterWarm Try it. If you know someone with one, play at their place. If not, find a demo station, and play the Rayman demo. You won't regret it, although your wallet might.
505 games... I can't take them seriously. Not only do they do [excrement] like this, but when I try to check their website, I can't, because they built it entirely in Flash. I can't be mad at such innocence.
I'd rather they went to Nintendo and made this Eternal Darkness 2: Shadows of the Eternals. It would guarantee a release, and it would have Shiggy's oversight.
@Hyperstar96 Because I want to own my music, I have a music collection I'm proud of, and I want to keep building that collection. if I don't feel like I own what I buy, I might as well not buy it at all.
@VictahVonDoom "Why is there no new Zelda?" Because the last Zelda was less than three years ago, and games like that take time to develop. The main reason we are getting WWHD is to give us Zelda in HD to play while we're waiting for the proper one.
Also, with Yamauchi as major shareholder and 10 billion dollars in the bank, Nintendo is not going third party any time soon.
@aaronsullivan "or live action with a huge budget so that the fantasy world can be as thoroughly realized as the games but feel real(ish)" So basically, give it to Peter Jackson?
@Metaknight_3Raw CD Projekt Red is such a small studio that I really don't blame them. Rockstar is excused because the Wii can't run GTA V, and no gen8 version has been announced.The rest you are correct on.

Re: Former Sony Developer Feels The Wii U "Won't See Another Christmas"

Re: The 3DS YouTube App Has Finally Gone Live
Meh, I'll just watch on my Wii U, my Retina iPad, or my iPhone 5, where I can actually get good quality.

Meh, waiting for the GOTY version.

Re: Ubisoft Explains Wii U Watch_Dogs Visuals as "In Between" Current and Next-Gen
@Samurai_Goroh The "hacking" consists of pressing square to make thing happen. Not much you can do with a touchscreen there.
Re: Out Now: Pokémon X & Y 3DS XL Models Arrive in North America and PAL Regions
Yes please. Shame I already own an XL.
Re: Nintendo and System Exclusives Earn Golden Joystick Nominations
You could vote for GTA V as GOTY before it was released. I can't take these awards seriously.

@Mahe What do you disagree on? Genuinly interested.
Re: Taxi Journey Will Drive Onto Wii U if Kickstarter Campaign is Successful
@ScorpionMG The Wii U version is from the go because they got a free Unity license with the dev kit. The other platforms are individual stretch goals.
Re: Without iOS Support Nintendo "Doesn’t Reach Today’s Kids" Says Apple Advocate John Gruber
@jayclayx I've heard of it, I hate it, and if Nintendo made a game like that, I'd lose respect for them.
Potential customers != customers. I tried PvZ, still haven't even found the store...
Re: Without iOS Support Nintendo "Doesn’t Reach Today’s Kids" Says Apple Advocate John Gruber
@jayclayx 25 million downloads of a free game, yeah I'm impressed...
Re: Atari Founder Nolan Bushnell Claims Nintendo "Could Be On The Path To Irrelevance"

haha no.

TVii? What's that?
Oh, you mean that app I don't have because I live the wrong place.
Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for September
@NintendoMonkey It is in Europe, just not all of it. That's what bothers me.
Re: Weirdness: This 1DS Spoof is Remarkably Well Done
@tchaten What WiFi lag? It connects to the TV via HDMI (which would lag a bit) and to your phone via Bluetooth. Not WiFi, but damn Bluetooth. The lag wouldn't be bad, it would be unbearable.
Re: Weirdness: This 1DS Spoof is Remarkably Well Done
@Sceptic Why would they do that? It's a parody, not an actual product...
Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for September
I voted nothing because I don't have access to the service. And no, I won't shut up about this issue until Nintendo does something about it.
Re: Bethesda: The Time For Convincing Publishers And Developers To Support Wii U Is "Long Past"
@ArkOne77 I used to misquote memes like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Wii U "Price Reduction Initiative" in Europe from 4th October
@WinterWarm Try it. If you know someone with one, play at their place. If not, find a demo station, and play the Rayman demo. You won't regret it, although your wallet might.

If I download, I won't pay for it. I'm considering importing, though.
Re: Denis Dyack - "Actions Will Speak Volumes" as Precursor Games Seeks to Build Trust

Re: Pokémon X & Y Soundtrack Coming This November
@Hyperstar96 No. I don't own digital music. I rent the permission to listen to it.
Re: Pokémon X & Y Soundtrack Coming This November
@Hyperstar96 Because I want to own my music, I have a music collection I'm proud of, and I want to keep building that collection.
if I don't feel like I own what I buy, I might as well not buy it at all.
Re: Pokémon X & Y Soundtrack Coming This November
"Download only"
So I won't buy it then...
Re: The Wonderful 101 Demo Coming to Europe Today
@cornishlee Only the first part. Sorry, should have specified.
Re: The Wonderful 101 Demo Coming to Europe Today
@cornishlee Download the demo. It's fantastic.
NA, you think 3 weeks is bad? We had to wait 18 years for Earthbound. 18 years.
