I wish I’d waited for the review.
There is so much that could be amazing about this game. But as others have noted almost everything about this is counter intuitive. The combat is painful. Every aspect is too slow and unresponsive. I think that I died at least 100x

Re: Editorial: Xenoblade Chronicles X Has Tiny Text - Time for an Update?

I have an 85" projected screen and this is barely readable. I am mainly guessing when I played this game. The game itself is stunning, but I don't know why they couldn't keep the font size the same as that used in Xenoblade for Wii. This game might have to go to the side until a patch comes out because it's almost painful to try to navigate the UI. The worst is that it's completely unnecessary. There is loads of space that could have been used for a bigger font size.
This most definitely isn't a minor flaw.

Re: Parent Trap: Oft-Forgotten Wii U Features That Matter To Families

The killer feature in our family and the system seller is local multi-player. 8 player smash bros on a projector is incredible. Mario 3D world, 5 player Ray-man, Mario Kart. These are the games that make this system. There are loads of shortcomings, but the local multiplayer is incredible. I managed to save a huge amount of money because we already had 3 wii motes (the system we bought had another one with it), and the adapter meant that I could use my old gamecube controllers for smash brothers. Even at the very cheapest your looking at £40 for an additional controller for another systems, and if you want 4 player anything that's close to £120 just for the additional 3 controllers.
The main reason that we ended up getting our Wii U after our Xbox 360 failed (instead of just replacing it) was that we could barely find any content that was kid friendly, and just turning the system on often had horrifying images on the front page that scared our kids (some game with a brain wrapped in barbed wire), and we worked out that we primarily wanted it for netflix and not having to pay £60 a year would pay for the itself pretty quickly.
Big drawbacks, the lack of any proper outputs at the back. The lack of a dvd player (and not even the option to pay for an upgrade)
