Just another game not coming to wiiU, funny how people as soon as they hear a game is not coming to the platform say that they didn't want it anyways.... Wii U will not be getting any third parties, and fanboys will keep saying that they don't care, since they do not know any better....
Nintendo is obviously targeting kids, just look at their ads on tv, shame on them for not growing up with the people that supported them in the past, this is what they get, or better said, what they don't get, which is third party support.... I'm still a Zelda fan, but that's about it, I hope they don't make it childish like they did with ALBW.....
I hate that we've had the same rewards for over two years now (not games obviously), they barely update them, and when they do (like the 3ds xl charging cradle) it's sold out really fast....
Looks great, but only 10 hours? That is way too short for my taste, just like the recent Castlevania for 3DS, too short. I hope it doesn't cost 60 dollars, perhaps if I see it reaching the goal I'll pledge and get the game for only 20 dollars.
Sounds great, I'll get it. NL, have you ever considered adding short videos to your reviews? even though you do a great job at describing it in words, it would be awesome to see the actual gameplay, or are you not allowed to do so?
@unrandomsam Yes that needs to be addressed by Nintendo as well, but in those cases you have some people buying the games thinking they are originals, it's slightly different, but I agree they also need to control this.
I'm glad too see most of these comments are really pointing out Nintendo's mistakes. I think Nintendo devs were a bit arrogant here; they thought it would be easy, they took so long that they did not even include online multiplayer on this one either; it's just plain ridiculous.....
I don't know about you guys in the UK, but here in the US if it weren't for sites like this or youtube channels I wouldn't have known about this game, I guess what I'm trying to say is that they should not expect good sales if the marketing is not that good.
Funny to hear that after they said they would not make a sequel to kid icarus uprising.... Also funny after seeing the new mario 3d world being just slightly different to the 3ds mario 3d land..... They mention this a lot, and yet, where are those games?? mario kart...don't think so, mario, I just talked about it, Donkey kong, again just slightly different to DKC 3D....
I agree, I don't think the wii U will get third party support, just look at the major developers, they're already making games for the next consoles and the wii U has been out for about 7 months now.
It'll be great if they start showing some support, what really bothers me is that even now we know we'll get scaled down versions of the games, I hope the difference won't affect gameplay.
There is indeed too much mario, the new elements do not make them new IPs, that doesn't make sense, it sure gives you a slightly different experience but still not considered a new IP. What really bothers me is how he said "that's what the fans are asking for"... really? as far as I know Nintendo are not very good at listening to their fans, did fans really ask for that many Marios????? my guess is no.....
Nintendo is leaving out a lot of people with the exclusion of Online multiplayer, I think this was a dumb decision, having Online doesn't affect the single player and local multiplayer modes at all!! They just did it because it was convenient for them. Also, there is a finite amount of friends you have to play local, having online opens an endless source of people you can play with.
There are lots of cellphones that you can use to play the same games, and not only play them on your phone but also on your tv. There are no games that would make you want to buy this thing. They're advertising the capability of playing retro games because they cannot communicate a better reason to own the system.

NL, have you ever considered adding short videos to your reviews? even though you do a great job at describing it in words, it would be awesome to see the actual gameplay, or are you not allowed to do so?

Re: Talking Point: Why Interactive eBooks are a Perfect Fit for Wii U
It would be great to have a Hyrule Historia copy with some video clips of the making process.
Re: Nintendo Wins Another Court Battle with R4 Cartridge Manufacturers
This is great, I am completely against piracy, we want the companies that make our games to have profit so they can keep making them.
Re: Ubisoft CEO Admits ZombiU Sales Were Disappointing, No Plans For Sequel
Too bad for the wii U.... I understand Ubisoft, there is no point investing in something that will most likely fail at this moment.

Re: Miyamoto: Mario Will Likely Return To Single-Player
I would love an open world Mario, not a Galaxy sequel though, something new.

Re: EA: Frostbite 3 On Wii U "Not Impossible"
It'll be great if they start showing some support, what really bothers me is that even now we know we'll get scaled down versions of the games, I hope the difference won't affect gameplay.

There are lots of cellphones that you can use to play the same games, and not only play them on your phone but also on your tv. There are no games that would make you want to buy this thing.

Re: Talking Point: It's Time for Nintendo to Drop Region Locking
I would really like to see Nintendo listen to their fans, if they keep going like this they'll lose people.
