I really loved Scram Kitty. Glad to see it's going to reach even more players in Vita and PS4! Everyone who loves classic shooters should play that game!

If only Capcom had put MH4G on Wii U as well... It would've been a double-whammy like this God Eater 2 business...

can i load up my new micro SD card now? like, before I buy the new 3DS?

Surprised you didn't mention Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

That game will be sucking up most of my time, to be honest.

This one certainly flew under my radar... Looks really neat!

Here is one of the main reasons it didn't sell well:

It was released 8 months after a cheaper version with zero marketing and messaging.

No one will buy your game if they don't know about it (I didn't know this was out and I was following the game) and if they do know they will probably spring for the cheaper portable version.

Melee at the top
Smash Wii u second
Brawl at the bottom
That game was just too broken and imbalanced. Hoo boy don't get me started on tripping.

... No Canada?

I didn't even know they did boxing day in the US!

No big sales? I was hoping they would do something because tomorrow is boxing day...

Weird.

I wish Hard Corps would get a VC release...

US only... it would be good if you guys posted Canadian deals as well... :/

There wasn't much in-store advertising and marketing of the Wii U. My local Best Buy (Toronto, downtown) has their Wii U section in a back corner, mislabelled as "Wii" and with a single shelf of games.

I would've picked Sportsball for the list. It's a blast.

Can get pretty competitive, though!

Yup! I gotta say- this is one very unique and fantastic multiplayer experience! Grab some friends and give it a shot- it's addicting!

I noticed some framerate issues at IndieCade which is a shame.

I would've picked this up had it not released the day before Halloween... I wanna play it during the Halloween time so I'll probably pick it up on sale or next october- whichever comes first!

Sportsball. So CRAZY fun with 4 people (5 as an announcer, too haha).

Great multiplayer game. Can't wait to play more!

I think this study simplifies a very complex topic. I believe that the media has a direct influence on us, even if we do not realize it or wish to admit it. But I don't think that means we can't have violent games or films... It's a very complex issue, and not one I'm qualified to comment on, but there is no definitive answer.

I had no idea this was possible... Mind you I guess gradius rebirth did it...

I loved this game as a kid. Great music and fun four-player racing.

Maybe some day it will come to Wii U VC?

And yet you can play as shulk in a bathing suit...

Am I mistaken in thinking Swords and Soldiers II is coming out this fall?

@sam_robinson Good! I've been trying to share the game with friends but the only videos are developer walkthroughs and stuff. Can't wait to see it!

Does this game even have a trailer yet?

Best action game of last gen. Hands down.

IT seems like the Nintendolife staff really don't like the Warriors games!

Oh well 7 isn't a bad score and I'm still definitely buying!

I love Warriors games. SW3 was great and SW:C on 3DS was even better.

I'm currently finishing up Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper on Wii U in anticipation of Hyrule Warriors and I'd like to pick up Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 if it ever drops in price on the eShop!

Hyrule Warriors was playable in the EB booth...

I am really interested in seeing how this game turns out. No footage has ever been shown so it's probably bad, but with this many extra months of dev time I expect the game to be fully optimized at least.

And by "North America" you mean "USA" and by "USA" you mean "New York" and by "New York" you mean "people willing to line up at the Rockefeller center at 8am and are lucky enough to actually get a copy."

Yeesh. Nintendo isn't into collector's editions in NA are they?

This is gonna be GOAT.

@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.

If its like a user-friendly Tekken consider me in.

"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.

4 Wii U SKUs?

Are they all Sonic Boom?

Nintendo isn't alone in this strategy... Lest we forget DuckTales: Remastered.

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...

Maybe I misheard, but I was pretty sure Itagaki said Devil's Third would be coming out this year?

Bayonetta 2 all day err day

EDIT: isn't Devil's Third supposed to come out this year too?

Graphics look rough but game looks fun.

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.

@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.

Wow. That gap between now and Hyrule Warriors is HUGE.

I guess its gonna be a backlog summer...

@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.

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?

Playing on Wii U. It's great.

Wonder if Alphadia Genesis is any good and I wonder if it will be enhanced over the original.

soooooooold

is 1001 spikes on sale?? Supposed to be 15, no?

Looks fun, but I wish they hired an artist.

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!
