Thats what i hate about the Wii U and the GamePad touchscreen, and thats why i got a Pro controller. It tells me the Wii U is more for casuals players, where as Sonys PS4 is aimed at someone like me. Take the new Devil May Cry game, some people love it i think its awful and aimed at casual games. Which will not want to learn the combo's etc, could you see them enjoying DMC3 on the hardest difficulty? no. And not only that thay dropped the fps from 60fps to 30fps, and it shows but a casual player wouldn't know the difference between the two.
PlatinumGames are excellent developers, so you know The Wonderful 101 is going to be an excellent game. Thay make games with good replay value also challenging, so i hope there is meny difficulty levels. So as you can see i'm looking forwards to playing The Wonderful 101.
Now imagine how burnt gamers who bought the WiiU would feel at the thought of buying a new console.
I good point, i not that happy with the 3rd party situation as it is, and i wouldn't be happy with Nintendo if thay dropped the Wii U, which realistically isn't going to happen. A lot of people think Nintendo is going against the other two console's, which is not the case Nintendo doesn't care about console wars, it means nothing. And i'm sure sales will pick-up not over night, but this time next year Nintendo will be in a better place.
@element187 - DuckTales will be in 1080p HD, at 60fps..
I cannot wait for this as well as Castle of illusions, Duckumentaries is a very good watch too. Castle of illusions also has something like Duckumentaries too, which is also worth watching.
FullbringIchigo ok i work in a major UK supermarket and i can tell you they are all stopping selling systems not just the WiiU the one i work at has stopped PS3 and 360 too and ain't even going to stock the PS4 or XB1
Where i live in the UK thay stock plenty of PS3/360's, plus you can pre-order the PS4/Xbox One for £20 deposit Just look on Asda Direct UK . But as far as the Wii U thay are not stocking the Wii U in my local Asda or its games.
OorWullie:The Dizzy games were a huge part of my childhood,I even managed to finish 1,Treasure Island Dizzy.Great times.
I had Magicland Dizzy, Spellbound Dizzy & Treasure Island Dizzy on the Commodore 64, Codemasters are very good dev's. I still need to pick-up GRID 2 after i finish some PS3 games & Pikmin3 which i'm playing now, GRID was an excellent racer.
Trask Nintendo have been planning the Wii U for years, well i hope so. Also thay knew what games where in development and what games to delay, to help finish games like NintendoLand, New Super Mario Bros etc for launch. If the Wii U wasn't ready for launch why launch it? thay already knew half of there launch titles wouldn't make it, to me it sounds as thay wanted to have the Wii U on the market asap. The sooner the better before the other consoles, not finish off some of the Wii U features. Which i still cannot use almost a year in, and there launch titles but try as sell as meny Wii U before the other two consoles release.
Mario & Luigi RPG would be good for the Wii U something different than Mario, and it's still Mario. But i agree i don't bring it to the Wii U otherwise the game could sell like hot cakes.
July 28, 2011 at 10.35pm, we in the year 2013 July 29 where Sony's article?
Thats what happen at that time which effected both Sony & Nintendo we already know, but to go on to blame that is an excuse otherwise where is Sony article in 2013?
That's because Sony knows that even without the earthquake, Vita will flop.
No thats down to Sony and Sony knows it, just like thay told the world thay mess-up with the PS3. This just goes to show me Nintendo does learn from there mistakes, because you have to admit to your mistakes first, not use excuses any company can do that.
Howard Stringer, Sony's chief executive, left Tokyo a week ago Thursday in a wheelchair
As his jet landed the next day in the United States, he received a telephone call. Sony was not fine. Japan, where the company employs about 60,000 people, had suffered a deadly one-two punch, the biggest earthquake in memory and a tsunami to match.
Now i don't see Sony using the same excuse, thankfully Howard Stringer didn't lose his life.

If Lanning ever had the proper funds from Nintendo, then I know sure as hell the Oddworld name can be back to it's proper glory like back in the 90's and early 00's.
Just Add Water's Abe's Oddysee New 'n' Tasty will be back to it glory days, it's a remake of the PS1 games which doesn't cost anywhere near the AAA games cost to make.
I'm surprised by this especially after Activision saying "there are now not supporting the Wii U", i not really into COD but this is good for the Wii U.
JebbyDeringer: The difference between PC and console has narrowed drastically.
How exactly?
Console's cannot have a Steam because thay are closed platforms, there is no direct competition. Unlike PC's that are an open platform, and have a shed load of competition. And with Federation of German Consumer Organisations hoping to have Value in court by the end of the year, it'll be interesting to see if thay win what impact it'll have on Steam.
The Federation of German Consumer Organisations hopes to have Steam in court by the end of the year.
The body is challenging Steam’s refusal to alter its terms of service following last year’s ruling from the European Court of Justice that European consumers should have the right to re-sell their digital software purchases.
I don't want show my age but Commodore 16 & 64 and the ZX Spectrum, did have good game also a lot crap when you look back. But them games are totally different from what you get today, even when the Mega Drive & SNES came out. The Mega Drive games where a lot different to the Commodore 16 & 64 with a lot better graphics, and you didn't have to wait so god dam long to play them. Remeber the sound of the ZX Spectrum loading, and the screen with a big black box with mutli coloured lines. I used to play Outrun on it a lot, which i'm sure you'll remember. but yes i agree, i'm so looking forwards to Castle of illusion & DuckTails, because thay stay true to the originals just with updated graphics.
"As the PS3 example does show, as well as that of the 3DS, early struggles don't doom a system to failure, even if they're undesirable."
The PS3 was 20 GB model US$499 (€499), 60 GB model US$599 (€599), a high price tag also with no games back in Nov 2006. Could be the same problem as the Wii U if people see the Wii U price tag high also $349, especially towards the PS4 $399. But saying that here in the UK the Wii U is 8GB HDD £149.00, ASDA.com 32GB £289.99 Sainsbury's so it cannot be a price problem in the UK. But yes its hard to say, Xmas will be a telling time and especially 2014 with Super Smash Bros etc out.
Soo glad to see a DuckTales remake, i hope this remake sells well for other remakes like NES DuckTales 2. Anyone remember DT: The Quest for Gold for the Commodore 64? And i don't understand why Castle of illusions is not coming to the Wii U, i wish you could buy a boxed version of these games like the original Master System cover art for Castle of illusions.
The PSOne Rayman was one of the best but with Rayman 2: The Great Escape thay made it a 3D game, same with Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. I'm sooo glad with Rayman origins thay took the game back to there roots 2D, looking forwards to this one Rayman Legends.
NINTENCHIP @banacheck "Make the games we want" is the dumbest argument ever. How is a company supposed to know what games consumers want unless it's like, a long-awaited sequel or a re-release,
Square Enix has a website where i don't know there fans actually go, and have been saying what thay've wanted for a fair few years now. Even creating Petitions for certain games, so useless your a bit slow or something its not that hard to figure out.
I would pay £6.99 each for the SNES Donkey Kong Country games, if Nintendo would put them on the Wii U VC. So EarthBound being £6.99 is not a problem, anyway some VC games before EarthBound are around £5 odd, so a pound odd is no big difference.
I actually didn't know that but thanks, it's a good indie i got the new DLC with Stealth Inc today, but i've not played that yet. But both of these are well worth getting Stealth Inc in EU get the DLC free, for two weeks.
Kingdom Of Hearts 1.5 HD Remix is an exclusive, much like Nintendo's exclusive's. Kingdom Of Hearts 3 the only reason i see it going to Xbox as well, is for a quick cash-in because its easy to port over. Thay know full well its going to sell on the PS4, Xbox is a bonus.
Make games fans want & then some, Kingdom Of Hearts 3 is a good start, Kingdom Of Hearts 2.5 next after 1.5 HD Remix, see how easy that is? it's also a HD remake costing you less but making you more. Plus it'll be before KH3 making newer fans before KH3 even releases, next we'll talk about some more of your franchise.
Consoles are changing, becoming more connected then ever before, once you see it, i mean all of it, how do you look away? PS4.
I like what Nintendo are doing with the indie dev's, becoming more open. But i would like to see some of the indie games that are on the PSN on the Wii U. Like Stealth inc: A Clone in the Dark which i got today, Hotline Miami, Guacamelee etc. As thay've only just come out really, and some of these Indie game would be a great fit on the Gamepad. especially if you want lie on your bed or something with the Gamepad, yeah but Nintendo are making the right move.
Consoles are changing, becoming more connected then ever before, once you see it, i mean all of it, how do you look away? PS4.
Macarony64:@banacheck no new console has ever outsold a old one in the first year. This must be your first console launch.
I didn't mean literally outselling the PS3 but yes this is my first console launch, but for some strange reason almost a year in i had the opinion console's did better than the Wii U. I not talking about a good launch a few months down the line almost dying, and three of the biggest publishers dropping support. Maybe thats because Nintendo has never really been good with 3rd party dev's, yes i'm physic i'm 5year old on my first console launch. year in almost and the so called console launch is no excuses, even tho the console launch ended months ago we're almost hitting the year 2014, if you haven't noticed. But don't get me wrong not all console's do well, maybe the Wii U will be joining the ranks of the golden age? Dreamcast, Sega CD, Saturn, 3DO, TurboGrafx 16, Atari Jaguar etc.
I think some Nintendo fans are living in a different reality, the Wii U should have been outselling the PS3 from day one. Seeing as the PS3 is almost 8 years old, with the PS4 coming out within a matter of months. I guess it's a testament to Sony really, but this does not look good for the Wii U this Xmas especially.
Actually after reading a lot of these comments, i hope someone like Microsoft gets them because Microsoft will throw money around to get something. And we all know what would happen to Atlas if Microsoft did get them, remember Rare? whats left of them anyway. Because only a very small few here actually cares what would happen to Atlas, all the rest of just want there titles for trophies or something, which basically comes down to fanboyism. Leaving Atlas where? Atlas doesn't just make games, if it wasn't for Atlas USA [Index Digital Media] western gamers wouldn't of seen half of these excellent JRPG's. Also Atlas USA publishes Atlas games & games by other developers, also localizing obscure or niche titles from other Japanese developers. i cannot see Nintendo letting Atlas be Atlas, so Nintendo buying Atlas would kill Atlas we know today.
Sony have been making a profit of the PS3 for a few years now, and even if the PS4 sold poorly it wouldn't matter as Sony not selling the PS4 at big loss, in fact the PS4 is going to be very profitable for Sony.
Nintendo buys Atlus means Atlus US wouldn't bring unique JRPG over to westerners, Persona would die. Casual gamers would not buy gamers like Persona, if there was a choice of making a game DK would be made over Persona, sound familiar? Nintendo buys Atlus R.I.P.
Inevitably there will still be support for the 360 as its still selling strongly and even PS3 so many 3rd party games that make it to Wii U then it will be a PS3/360 port,
The reason you'll see PS3/360 is because the install base is there, but that doesn't mean games will be ported over to the Wii U if 3rd party games don't sell. Not only that the PS3/360 are still selling well like you said, look at GTAV being made only for the PS3/360 at this time. Also not all PS4/Xbox One games will hit the PS3/360.
Nintendo could really screw up MegaTen and Persona by interfering to try and make them appeal to a 'wider audience'.
From what i've read this has already happened with Bayonetta sadly, the reason Bayonetta was popular by hardcore gamers was because of it's gameplay. Now its nothing more than a button masher to suit a wider audience.
This is a massive if, if Nintendo did buy Atlus thay would loss a lot of there fans.
The problem is there is no demand for 3rd support from Nintendo fans, only a small few. Thats why companies are skipping the Wii U, and once the PS4/Xbox One hit there stride (no pun intended). You reality think thay'll scale down every game for the Wii U?
Taking Inspiration from game's like Skyrim & Earthbound is a good thing, been looking forwards to South Park: The Stick of Truth.
I'm sorry to say this but all i hear from Nintendo fanboys on this website is how 3rd party games are crap & lazy dev's, as it would only sell very poorly anyway. So thay would have to be nuts to release this on the WII U, i'm supporting 3rd parties on platforms where people enjoy them games. And the developers will make a profit for there years of work on the game, and i'll support Nintendo for Nintendo games, rant over.
