Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2013 - Summer Edition

@StraTTtheRipper , it does not seem like it a big priority for Nintendo. I am guessing most of the casual/family crowd that Nintendo picked up with the Wii will not be upgrading to Wii U. As such, First party console-selling titles are probably a bigger priority. That said, I do not think we have seen the last of Wii U fit.

I agree with b_willers that the pad rattling is annoying. I bought the Wii U basic to save money (ironically I ended up later buying Nintendo land). What a mistake that was: terrible storage space (almost entirely used up from the day 1 patch), plus none of the extra nice things included with the deluxe. Don't get me wrong, I love the Wii U, and the games that I have for it, I just feel kind of ripped off. I should have gone with the deluxe.

Re: Talking Point: Wii U vs Xbox One - Online Requirements and On-Disc DRM

This is too bad. The online requirement and the restriction of used games is not fair to the consumer, although I can see how Microsoft would want to make a buck or two off of used game sales.

I think in the long run this policy towards used games will lose console sales for Microsoft, which I think should be a larger concern than the used games market.

Re: Feature: A Brief History of Pokémon - Part One

Great article! So much nostalgia! When I think of my childhood, my thoughts always return to pokemon. My first game was Yellow. I later had Crystal. I have also played through Sapphire, Diamond, Black, Mystery Dungeon, Hey You Pikachu, Colosseum, Pokemon Channel, etc...

The only Pokemon game that I did not enjoy was Pokemon Black. I really disliked that game. I have loved all of the other games. I am really excited for X/Y.

I was a huge fan of Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2, I would love nothing more than to see an expansive Pokemon Stadium 3 title! Not another Colosseum (even though I loved the first colosseum) but a full fledged successor to Stadium 2! I have emulated both stadiums on my computer with friends, but it does not hold the same magic as playing the game in front of the TV. If they will not release a sequel they could at least put both Pokemon stadiums on VC (or if I had my way: a sequel AND both games on VC).

Does anybody else share my Stadium 3 sentiments?

Awesome! FAST looks really cool! It would be cool to see it on Wii U. As other people have mentioned, an F Zero on Wii U would be AWESOME. F-Zero would look absolutely beautiful with Wii U's HD graphics. I feel like an F-Zero title would definitely be a sales booster for the console.

I want my F-Zero and I want it now!!

Re: Consumers Go Crazy For Wii U Following Xbox One Reveal

Finally some good news! I think that this upcoming holiday season is going to be a somewhat of a renaissance for the Wii U.

Also, what is it with all the console ranking? "Xbox one will be 3rd," "it will be between PS4 and Wii U to see who wins," etc... Who cares? I think both the Wii U and PS4 will do pretty well.

Re: Nintendo UK Wants To Know Why You Love Your 3DS

From what I have played on a friend's 3DS, I have to say that I love it because it offers a home console experience in a portable handheld. I cannot wait to get my own midnight purple 3DS! Its going to be a while; I hope that they do not discontinue the color
