Also I simply don't see too many WiiU games I want currently, other than Super Mario World and Monster Hunter. And even when SSB comes out, I may end up getting a 3DS for that instead of WiiU. It makes me wonder if the 3DS version will gimp the sales of the WiiU version
@kokirii A fair point, which is true! I always thought that nintendo should have kept the idea of two versions, one with low storage for the past casual wii owners and one with way more storage for the "hardcore" or those who wanted to go download-only with it. but I don't see wiiu's current options as appealing to the "hardcore" audience. The biggest issue I have is that the download aren't account-based. I've had tons of games downloaded on the Wii, so when I had to send it in for disc-reader repair I heard stories that all those downloads could get wiped completely away. Luckily my downloads were safe, but again it shouldn't be a worry nowadays.
@kokirii That's why I can buy an internal 1tb or more to put in a PS4 (which I may consider doing around christmas time). The point is that even considering the current price of a Wiiu, I shouldn't have to deal with such a small amount of internal wiiu storage at all. It's almost 2014 and Ninty's yet to release a system that supports even 100gb out of the box.
@SCAR392 You actually have about a month or so to claim PS+ games. You don't even need to be on your console to claim them if you have access to the online store on a PC or phone.
As for the article, I too would grab a Wiiu, but the stupidly small amount of storage included, the price, and the lack of account-based download purchases make me question why nintendo hasn't fixed these problems yet. That plus the fact that I've seen more variety out of PS franchises lately made me decide to get PS3/4/Vita recently. I'll just wait until the new WiiU Zelda and SSB are out until I even think about getting a Wiiu.
The problem I'm seeing is why not add both? Ninty would be commended for including both local and online co-op, it's truly rare in most games today. All I can see is stubborness.
The only reason I don't have a WiiU yet is because of the lack of heavy-hitting Nintendo franchises so far. Yeah, mario's fine as always. Not a Pikmin fan. But a re-release of a zelda game and not having SSB until next year further solidifies my focus on getting a PS4 soon.
Cue the swooning of DLC possibilities on WiiU by those who previously shunned the idea. $20 seems like quite a bit for the content but it's not as bad as it could be.
It's strange that in another article I read, the 360 version was the most expensive version to release it onto. He supposedly learned his lesson from that!
So if I was him, someone could bring in a generation old iPad, call it his baby and possibly take it home so it isn't destroyed for recycling. It could technically be considered recycling but it's also Best Buy's job to get rid of it for proper recycling.
I think a review of an M-rated game is qualifying for using implied curse words in the header. For those complaining about it, it's not night time you can't be reading this Nintendo thinks you're a baby!
It's an exceptional game from my experience on the PS3 version, and having it slightly portable on the gamepad would make it even better since the game is incredibly long.

Re: You Can Grab a 2DS and Pokémon X for $100 at Target
Personally I'm waiting to see if a smash-themed 3DS XL arrives. Then I'd splurge
Re: Review: Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate (3DS)
grabbed it on vita's PSN sale last night, it's really good so far. Might be on the short side but getting a platinum looks easy
Re: Review: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (Wii U)
I'm playing it on PS4 and it's incredibly fun and funny.

Re: GameStop Advert Offers A Link Between Worlds 3DS XL and Luigi Bundle
As a black friday ad the price for the zelda bundle is surprising.

Re: First Impressions: Super Mario 3D World
It looks polished, as per the norm, but also so.... boring... Nothing really revolutionary other than a cat-suit.
Re: Iwata Issues Apology For Technical Difficulties With Nintendo Direct Live Stream
It was a laggy mess with a cut-off ending. Luckily, the whole thing was uploaded to youtube almost immediately.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Should Aim to Produce Mature, Genre-Defining Storytelling Experiences

Are you suuuure?
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Should Aim to Produce Mature, Genre-Defining Storytelling Experiences
Can't wait for TLoU soon Naughty Dog sets an unbelievably high bar when it comes to narrative after their Uncharted series. Fantastic team.
Re: 32GB White Wii U, Rechargeable Wii Remote Battery And 2550mAh GamePad Battery Announced
Another reason it's good to wait out on new console releases.
Re: Oh Snap, Now Rayman Legends Is Coming To PS Vita With Exclusive Content
@HawkeyeWii I'm sorry, my Vita collection couldn't hear you
Re: Oh Snap, Now Rayman Legends Is Coming To PS Vita With Exclusive Content
I can almost guarantee the other versions of the game (except maybe vita) will outsell the wiiu version.
Re: Oh Snap, Now Rayman Legends Is Coming To PS Vita With Exclusive Content
Perfect Don't forget that each game has exclusive costumes. This one gets Prince of Persia for rayman and splinter cell for Globox.
Re: Video: Sonic Lost World Debut Trailer Blasts Across The Internet
Those 6 aren't friends at all! D: I can see some similarities to Sonic 3D Blast too, nice.
Re: Poll: Do You Follow and Watch Rival Console Reveals?
The sight of 30% of voters wanting a WiiU and PS4 is nice
Re: Insomniac Not Working On Wii U, Considers It More "Current Gen" Than "Next Gen"
Ratchet and Clank would be a great fit on Ninty consoles, but it's a perk for PS users Can't wait for the new R&C movie.

Re: Nintendo Receives Zero BAFTA Game Awards Nominations
@Hyperstar96 It's not really a port, it's an unnumbered sequel. But the Vita controls make it so much more unique than it would be on PS3
Re: Nintendo Receives Zero BAFTA Game Awards Nominations
LittleBIGPlanet Vita is actually one of my favorite handheld games in a looong time. That was worth the Vita in itself.
Re: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Online Play Will Be Region Locked For Wii U
You're bustin ma BAWLZ here capcom. I don't even have a WiiU
Re: Rayman Legends No Longer a Wii U Exclusive, Delayed to September
It should have been multiplatform from the beginning, so this was somewhat not surprising.
Re: Rumour: New Sonic Title Dashing To Wii U And 3DS
That's a lot of consoles to be put on
Re: Nintendo Reveals Plans For Wii U Virtual Console
Well that doesn't sound all that good. I'd rather not pay extra for a feature like that, plus I have a ton of NES games downloaded on Wii.
Re: Capcom Comments On Monster Hunter 4 Vita Rumours
@Gamesake Well I'll just go sit in the corner and play some LittleBIGPlanet, Gravity Rush, PS All Stars, and AC3 Liberation all on my vita weh weh weh
Re: Sony and Kevin Butler Actor Settle Lawsuit Over Wii Appearance
He was better in Sony's commercials.
Re: Rumour: Monster Hunter 4 Delay Is Due To PS Vita Port
Having MH on Vita would guarantee a boost in Vita sales in Japan at least. I'd certainly buy it too
Re: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Taking A Bite Out Of 3DS And Wii U On March 19th
I wonder if it supports off-screen play.
Re: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Receiving Day-One Keyboard Update
If there's no voice chat option then it's a no-go for me. I've used keyboard on Tri and it was way too slow to use during combat.
