More cowbell!

@EverythingAmiibo You don't have to play it as soon as it comes out just get to it when you can It's not going anywhere

Yea I will own this!!!

Looks terrific. I love Shin'en and I have bought most of their games. I will certainly pick this up. It should satisfy my F-Zero craving!

It's because EA is still a bunch of babies for not getting their way with Origin. EA is stupid for at least not making it on 3DS. It would sell tons.

woohoooo sell those consoles!

This looks awesome! If reviews are generally positive this is a purchase for me

O man this could be great news!

I am buying this on wiiu, I may even throw money at the now, but the digital copy, do we get our choice of platform? The on vehicle portions look awesome. I love the art.

@dizzy_boy it's too bad you are judging it off one bad server experience. It's actually an excellent game. I had the chance to play one the 3 pervious sessions and apart from 2 mins of initial connection issues globally it was one of the most solid online experiences I have had in a beta. I am sold, and ign reported that the single player is like Mario Galaxy with paint ball gun and they said it is very polished.

Ummmm news flash 60 fps has been around forever. Next gen frame rates??? If we are reffering to he PS4 and Xbox One, they rarely hit a steady 30 let alone 60fps. PC and Wii U hit 60 fps far more often...

Japan's sales depress me every time. I hope a combination of handheld and console that Nintendo will release next with next gen power of course wink wink will finally sell there. It would allow people to play games and not take up the TV

Sorry man missed that part because I was responding to your first post. They should drop the price of their console to 250. I see it on sale online often for 260-270 range. I think at this point that will help them sell. As far as the currency problems, there really isn't much they can do there except give the country a discount...

@ikki5 What increased the price, the only think I saw was Day one free DLC. For me it is 59.99$ same price as any new game.

@ikki5 You don't have to buy the amiibo. I am getting Splatoon without it and I feel just fine.

I would be very pissed if I were a backer. It sounds like M$ payed to have it exclusive but maybe that is speculation. M$ has done it in the past. The game does not look technically demanding and other companies successfully ported so this looks like a developer or money thing.

What they don't know is Wii U owners don't want this waggly crap. Ubi is crap now.

ugh right in the middle of my workday lol.

Looks very early, we will see.

Too bad Nintendo made your series so popular in the first place. Oh well no support from me.

@thesilverbrick They can't fit anything else on the disc, they had to scale back textures to get the whole game on disc because of Wii U's limited storage size. They need a dual layer disc on Wii U but I don't think it has them.

@Yorumi I'm not bent out of shape I'm just saying

Super lame. Now this garbage is infecting and destroying even RPGs. There's no reason for this, it's just a greedy cashgrab. Thinking of skipping this "incomplete" game now, or waiting for it to go half off maybe to pay for the extra $17 DLC tax.

He says the game is incomplete... But it's 300 hours or more without the DLC. I hope this is not a widespread opinion.

But anyway, that is how the market works. People are supposed to vote with their wallet. If it does not sell, they will not continue to make that sort of DLC. If we support good DLC like Mario Kart hopefully people will support it.

@Yorumi I'm not bent out of shape. Just don't buy the DLC, you are perfectly in your right to do that. But people are now saying they won't buy the game???? That makes no sense. The game is great without the DLC and does not need it. So just support the game. If no one buys the game because they have some DLC then we won't be seeing any more great RPGs on Wii U. I can guarantee. This looks like the best RPG since Xenoblade Wii and one of the best ever so it would be sad to see it suffer in sales.

What would send the message if the DLC is BS is buy the game but no one buys the DLC. That means we love the game but we don't want that BS. That is if the DLC actually sucks. We shall see.

@Shyguyanonymous But the game has plenty of content without the DLC, the full game is already there (you aren't getting half or 2/3 a game it's 300 hours), and it is a great game without it. So just buy the game. I don't see why people get mad at developers who are making something OPTIONAL. You don't HAVE to complete that content. It is a game not a life mission. People get so OCD about games when they are supposed to be having fun playing them not finishing every single millimeter of content in an already content rich environment.

I am defending Monolith here because they are a solid developer and every game I have played of theirs has been long and full of content. Xenoblade will be as well without the DLC. IF people refuse to buy it because of OPTIONAL DLC then they will say oh we didn't get sales on an amazingly robust RPG so we just won't make any more RPGs on the system. Then who loses. I will buy the game no matter what. I may buy the DLC, I may not that depends on how good it is. I do not think Mario Kart's DLC that Nintendo released was a bad deal at all and Smash I just don't buy costumes.... I don't need them so why waste the money.

@Yorumi I will wait to reserve my judgement till I actually see the length of the DLC quests. It may actually be good content and a lot of it. We don't know yet. Believe me I hate F2P models but I am not sure Monolith would go there full force. We will see. Also, the pricing may be a lot different here. It's not going to be something people need so I guess if you don't like it don't get it... Which is what I was saying.

@Yorumi But this is a game that the developer has clearly said takes about 300 hours to complete the on on disc content. If this were a 4-10 hour story, I might be annoyed but there is more game here than I have time for AND they are providing DLC. That is ok in my book. This is not CoD.

@ShadJV Yea you are right. I don't think the disc is big enough for them to withhold content. From what I heard they had to compromise on textures and certain things to make sure the game fit on the disc because of Wii U's smaller storage capacity. Therefore I doubt they would waste disc space withholding content.

The game already has tons of content so you don't NEED the DLC. If you want it, awesome! It's more of the game for you to enjoy. If not don't complain because some people want that DLC. I know I will play it after I beat the 300 hours of on disc content. Thank you Monolith. You are awesome. Remember don't complain!

@mrGREEK360 I really doubt it will be March 2016. I think it is a Fall or Holiday 2015 release. Monolith said that they were working on localization a long time ago. This is not Nintendo working on the game anyway, it's Monolith and while they are owned by Nintendo, they are not Nintendo. They have a lot more content to translate in this game than most other games and with the actors in mind, having to record different dubs you can understand why there may be a slight delay. I think they will stick to 2015. It's not a realistic option for this game to be 2016, they will lose a lot of faith.

@NinjaWaddleDee The combat is great. It's like Xenoblade on Wii but more refined. Just don't go in expecting Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. It's not action, it's still an RPG with real time strategy and there are turns sort of (recharge meters for moves), You switch between characters depending on what skill sets you want to use. It's much more fast paced but it's similar to an MMO combat, I think it's more fluid and deep because it's designed for the single player experience. 4-player co-op is gonna flip it on it's head because your team mates have to make sure they are fulfilling their role. I think it will be awesome.

@erv NESTICLES!

I'm REALLY FEELING IT! I am glad they are giving it a spotlight but now they need to put out advertisements everywhere. Nintendo take note: Movies before the trailers, Commercial TV, YOUTUBE (that's a big one), Gaming websites that are highly trafficked like IGN, gamespot, etc.. , Gamestop (yes as much as I hate to say it, it would sell games probably ). ADVERTISE!!!! Stop making the same mistakes over and over because you have great games.

Japan is such a horrible market now. It's so disappointing every time I look at their numbers.

Nintendo,
You have failed miserably at marketing EVERYTHING. Learn your lesson and start marketing crap, even if it's 3rd party. Help them out and maybe they will support your system. I love the Wii U but you guys have continued to make the same mistake every console: lack of marketing. Wii U is one of my favorite Nintendo systems since the SNES and you guys are blowing it. Figure it out!

@paleboyjack
You should try to pick up chronicles if you can. It is not directly connected so it is not required but it is a terrific game.

This game looks every bit as good as chronicles but better! Needs to release this summer!

This has got to be April Fools XD
Hahaha. "Let it Poe"
This is amazing! I hope it's not April Fools I never would have seen this coming from Nintendo. Keep culture alive! I will pay to see this if it's legit.

NX is at least 3 years off. Wii U will have a semi-normal console life cycle.

YES I'm sold. I miss Rare!

Nintendo should merge console and handheld as one single badass unit. They are halfway there with the Wii U. All they need to do is figure out how to get a powerhouse in a small box and make the small box dock on a larger gamepad. That would solve their woes of having to split dev teams between 3ds and Wii U and they would have an amazing solution for all territories.

they can fight between crotch flashes. She does it enough and it makes me laugh every time. Game has completely unfiltered humor. she's like a female witch version of James Bond but more crass.

I read this comment section as I play Bayonetta 2. Quite simply one of the best action games ever made. What are you doing people? Play this game now! It also looks ridiculously good.

Yea I heard that was awesome. I never bought it myself but I always wanted to try it. I'm sure it would help Europe sales, but they also need something to recoup Japan sales and Pokeman would help that or why not the new 3ds RPG everyone is going crazy over. I think it was a Level 5 game.

They should outsource some of them. Last time F-zero was outsourced it was amazing. Earthbound to Monolith??? I could only dream.

So why have they not released Pokemon on Wii U yet? are they stupid? I don't know why they are so damn stubburn about releasing games on a platform. People are crying for Metroid, pokeman, whatever...I love Nintendo, My Wii U is amazing but they need to freaking listen sometimes. People want F-Zero, metroid, pokeman, Earthbound.... They will buy them on wii U or get a Wii U for them

I only want it on the Wii U. I do not play games that take that much time in one sitting on my 3DS. I only play in bursts. Hopefully Capcom has listened to those users who prefer online/multiplayer gaming at home.

Good we don't want it Ubi. It looks like utter trash. Keep it to yourself.

I am hopeful for this because Netflix generally has high level production values. Please do Link right!
