The side-kick mode was pretty bad. Co-op is a great idea, but it was not implemented well at all. I hope they touch it up. The single a player mode (for Wii U anyway) is definitely the way to go for Unlimited.
@jon45030 If you decide to play any of them, you should play Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and Assassin's Creed Revelations (in that order). The first made way for a great series, but was lacking in a lot of departments. III was visually beautiful, but it was very restricting. No one that I know has cared to finish it, including myself.
I love the idea! Let's be honest. The best Sonic games have been the retro or reiterations of the retro Sonic games. Sonic needs something new and fresh to stay current amongst a new generation of gamers. Spinning, running, and jumping are all great but there are so many new games out there that do much of the same.
I'm a little confused as to why so many people thought that this last Nintendo Direct was just okay. I thiink that it brought so much to the table. Release dates, SEGA partnership (AMAZING!), new Sonic games, Demos playable at Best Buys around the country during E3 (much better than one Press Conference), Pikmin footage...and the more I see of Wonderful 101, the more I'm in love!
@Peach64 Sorry, I was thinking about the comments made about the Unreal Engine. Still, I don't think EA should have lied about the whole SimCity thing I want to play it but I still always get knocked off the servers. If it's playable offline, it should be an option. I think the Always Online would have been better suited for the next Sims game and not SimCity.
I clearly remember EA's statement, along with the chuckle, that Wii U was not powerful enough to suport Frosbite. As an owner of a few EA games, this frustrates me that EA would rather lie to their supporters. The only impressive thing I've seen lately from EA is their support of marriage equality, but that doesn't excuse all the lies...including Sim City's "inability to function offline." Oh well. At least I know where my money is going and where it's NOT going.
@warnerdan Red was my first and Blue was my second. Both are brilliant games that complete each other. I wish I still had them along with my old Gameboy!
I don't think we should measure success in terms of money. Especially in this case. There are so many people in the world whom depend on smartphones whether it be for work, networking, socializing, etc. and a very large number of that group does not consist of "hardcore gamers". So, of course mobile games are going to sell well when more people have access to phones than video game consoles. I have plenty of iPhone games myself, mostly being free. I just don't get that quality experience that I get when I play a Nintendo game or even a Playstation game for that matter. The depth just isn't there. I'll certainly buy a Zelda game over Angry Birds or Cut the Rope any day. Video game success should always be determined more by the quality of the game.
Although I regrettably do not own a 3DS, I thought this interview was very interesting and educational for both gamers and developers. I am very excited to see how the company grows and I hope they continue to work with Nintendo in the future.
@HeatBombastic I'm sure many of those didn't even read the first and second paragraphs. If so, they wouldn't have made those comments. Sadly, many people just aren't open to new ideas. They close themselves to what they are already comfortable with and they already know what they're going to say before doing their own research.
A lot of gamers think I'm talking about the Wii when I bring up Wii U. I think the naming, along with lack of commercials on television and online are hurting the system, unfortunately.

I would rather see Nintendo ads than random ads about cars or weightloss any day.

Re: Analyst: Nintendo of America "Forgot Marketing 101" For Wii U
I think that the Wii U still has the ability to beat at least one of the consoles, if not both. Check out my blog to read why: http://www.ign.com/blogs/gaby_gabito/2013/04/23/buy-wii-u-now-or-wait-for-ps4-2
