@ACK you're joking, right? Maybe low level play with your friends but high level is impossible to break into. I play high level 2d fighters and I still can't remember the entire movelist for a single tekken character.
So I'll either do that or just wait until a sale shows up. $30 for a port of a retro shmup is a bit too much for me. I was hoping for a price in line with the SEGA 3D Classics line...
I loved Bayonetta 1, so I am counting the days until this game releases. I am ripping through my backlog so I can just spend as much time as possible with the game.
@HugoSmits Yeah I have to disagree. The original Fifa 13 sold poorly because EA couldn't trick as many people into purchasing their garbage product (iirc it lacked most of the features of the PS3 and 360 versions even, I dont even know if it had online). And still, for a half-hearted port the game sold over 150,000 copies. Not a terrible ROI considering they put very little money into the game to start.
EA has been treating Wii U owners as second-tier customers and has been bombarding them with awful, overpriced ports (Fifa 13, Mass Effect 3, Madden) and then calling foul when no one is dumb enough to buy them. They launched ME3: Wii U alongside a lower priced ME Trilogy on competing platforms. Absolutely daft.
I'm disappointed... I wanted to see more characters from Awakening. Hopefully Ike's reveal doesn't mean characters like Chrom and Lucina won't be excluded...
@R_Champ Exactly! Add on top of that every other review so far has been a 9/10! Sometimes I don't agree with nintendolife reviews and that's OK. Different people have different tastes.
@SecondServing That's a shame. I know many games with mixed reviews that are some of the best I have played.
Personally excited to but this come Thursday. It looks fun, has great style, and uses the gamepad in a unique way. Add in that its an exclusive experience and is inspired by some of my favorite games and I'm sold.
Also, the fact is that most of the people who own a Wii U are the same huge Nintendo fans that bought an early 3DS. This means that they are ambassadors.
This means they ALREADY HAVE most of the GBA games coming to VC.

Re: That Shocking Pokémon Announcement Was Arcade Fighter Pokkén Tournament
If its like a user-friendly Tekken consider me in.
Re: Feature: HD Remasters That Would Be Perfect for Wii U
"We're very aware that some F-Zero fans would be horrified at this version getting the remaster treatment ahead of its predecessors"
I'm a huge F-Zero fan and GX is undoubtedly the best in the series and one of the best racers EVER MADE.
Re: Sega Once Again Targets 3DS As Its Most Lucrative Gaming System This Year
4 Wii U SKUs?
Are they all Sonic Boom?
Re: Talking Point: Deconstructing Nintendo's Retail Releases of Wii U eShop Titles
Nintendo isn't alone in this strategy... Lest we forget DuckTales: Remastered.
Re: Steel Empire Blasting A Path To The North American 3DS eShop Next Week
I can pick up a Genesis cart for 1/3rd the price.
So I'll either do that or just wait until a sale shows up. $30 for a port of a retro shmup is a bit too much for me. I was hoping for a price in line with the SEGA 3D Classics line...
Re: Talking Point: With E3 Long Gone, Nintendo Still Has Plenty to Reveal 'Directly' to Fans
Maybe I misheard, but I was pretty sure Itagaki said Devil's Third would be coming out this year?
Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2014 - Summer Edition
Bayonetta 2 all day err day
EDIT: isn't Devil's Third supposed to come out this year too?
Re: Review: Armillo (Wii U eShop)
Graphics look rough but game looks fun.
Re: Hands On: Bewitching Bayonetta 2 Brings Action Gaming To A Climax On Wii U

Re: Video: Watch Our Handy Highlight Video To See How Nintendo Silenced Its Critics At E3 2014
@6ch6ris6 Haha he was totally reading off a teleprompt, too!
Yeah, no need to show the face of the person speaking. People would rather see the footage, methinks.
Re: Guide: The Biggest Wii U and 3DS Retail Games Coming In 2014
Wow. That gap between now and Hyrule Warriors is HUGE.
I guess its gonna be a backlog summer...

Re: FIFA 15 Is Lacing Its Boots For A Wii And 3DS Appearance, But Is Skipping The Wii U
They'll release for consoles with lower install bases and even release for dead platforms but won't put it out on Wii U.
I don't understand the justification here. Maybe next year?
Re: Review: 1001 Spikes (3DS eShop)
Playing on Wii U. It's great.
Re: Natsume Confirms A-Train: City Simulator For 3DS and Alphadia Genesis for Wii U
Wonder if Alphadia Genesis is any good and I wonder if it will be enhanced over the original.
Re: SteamWorld Dig Is Finding Its Way to Wii U This Autumn / Fall
soooooooold
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th June (North America)
is 1001 spikes on sale?? Supposed to be 15, no?
Re: Review: Chubbins (Wii U eShop)
Looks fun, but I wish they hired an artist.
Re: 1001 Spikes Hitting 3DS and Wii U on 3rd June
Nice! I might pick this up on Wii U. Always looking for more neat titles like this, especially gruelling hard ones!
Wish the Wii U version had a loyalty discount.. but I guess it's Nicalis' first Wii U eShop title!
Re: Meet Sticks, The New Member of Sonic Boom's "Core Ensemble"
Hi, Marine...
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th May (North America)
Wow. No sales for North America...
Re: XSeed Games Localizing Newest Harvest Moon for North American Release
wait what
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th May (Europe)
D&D:CoM is at a great price.
I hope more people buy it and go online! I need more people to play online with!
Re: Ike Joins the Battle in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS
I'm disappointed... I wanted to see more characters from Awakening. Hopefully Ike's reveal doesn't mean characters like Chrom and Lucina won't be excluded...
Re: Site News: Check Out Nintendo Life's eShop Picks On Your Wii U And 3DS
Wii U:
D&D:CoM
Scram Kitty
3ds:
Attack of the Friday Monsters
Kokuga
Starship Damrey
3d Galaxy Force II
My additions to the lists. My favorites so far that weren't mentioned.
Re: HullBreach Studios and Cthulhi Games Retract Claim to Sadness IP
This is good news. Hopefully another studio picks up the IP and develops a real 3D survival horror game.
No offense to Cthulhi and Hullbreach, I just think that their game would not be true to the IP.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th May (North America)
All about scram kitty this week.
Still surprised that nintendolife gave the game the lowest score of all reviews for the game so far.
Re: Review: Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)
Can you select individual tracks to race outside of time trial now? That really bugged me in MK7.

Re: Review: Stick It To The Man (Wii U eShop)
I like my games short and sweet so I'll probably pick this up. Reminds me of 90s cartoons!
Re: Video: Check Out This Footage Of Lost WiiWare Title Bonk: Brink Of Extinction
It was cancelled when Konami bought Hudson... along with all of Hudson's projects... Nothing to do with the earthquake...
Re: Sonic Lost World Hits 710,000 Sales as Sega Lines Up Significant 3DS Support
Frankly, I would appreciate if Sega released some of their HD PSN/XBLA games on eShop. I'd love to play Guardian Heroes on Wii U.
Also, I think they should do a House of the Dead collection with 1-4 + Overkill Extended Cut. I'd buy that so fast it hurts.

Re: Video: We Put The Pedal To The Metal In Sega's 3D OutRun
Looks gorgeous. I can't imagine how much better it looks in 3D!
Re: Review: F-Zero Maximum Velocity (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
I just want F-Zero GX HD... stop teasing, Nintendo...
Re: Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Could Have Been a Nintendo Exclusive
I hope Nintendo makes their own equivalent. I'd love to see that. Real life smash bro trophies, anyone?

Bayonetta 2.
Platinum's action games always wow me!
Re: Star Parodier Removed From the Wii Virtual Console in North America
Im so angry about this! I was gonna pick it up but never got around to it. Now, without warning, it is gone!!

Re: Talking Point: The Logic Behind Game Boy Advance on the Wii U Virtual Console
Geez that top image shows just how awful the GBA VC looks... What's up with that gamma???
Re: Nintendo Shows Off April's Game Boy Advance Wii U Virtual Console Line-up
I wonder if the gamecube virtual console is still a thing that's gonna happen...
Re: Game Boy Advance Games On The Wii U Virtual Console Are Single Player Only
I'm still disappointed the games have such low gamma. Are they trying to emulate playing on a non-backlit display?
Re: Hardware Classics: SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color
One of my favourite handheld systems, ever. I still play this guy to this day!
I love Puzzle Bobble Mini, Ganbare! Neo Poke-kun, and Match of the Millennium!
Re: Advance Wars Bringing the Battle to the Wii U Virtual Console on 3rd April
It is still beyond me as to why the GBA games on VC have this nasty mid-tone grey look to them and never actually reach white.
