New rule for 3rd parties: your 3rd party character can't "reprezent" in the smash roster if you haven't made a full fledged 3rd party game for the switch with said character. So it is written, so it shall be done.

Remember...."no taxation, without representation!!!" (or some other more appropriate quote to describe my requirement)

New strategy for sligeach....complain about bad ports or ports of bad games. Good games, like axiom verge, should be on switch period.

Different and original, could be cool. Im so excited i could throw my hands in the air and wave em like i just dont care. Like stereo mc's said: bring it on, bring it on, bring it on!

So New IPs nintendo is 1 and 1. Snipperclips yes, 1 2 switch no.
Up to you Arms to break that tie. Still, good for nintendo trying out new IPs.

Reminds me of some old school koei strategy games. So naturally...sold/day one.

@ogo79 hello to you too. And yep, thats where i got my username. Although i dont remember it being a good game, i just liked the name.

@SpeedRunRocks I'm from Texas and that was the main thing I noticed lol

Yasume called it folks....only 4 million switches sold in 4 years, 2017-2020.

I think nintendo could sell almost 4 million at launch or within first year if they played their cards right. But i doubt they will. But i dont think its going to bomb with 4 million "lifetime" sales either lol.

Day one purchase for switch. Love the koei simulation series. The vc needs to have the snes three kingdoms 2 though.

I'm in. Just need more details as to whether it's day one or down the line. But tax return season is around that time so maybe day one.

As for the "NS", it looks slick and I like the multiple control options and games line up so far. More details and previews and I should be sold.

Going to target and get mario maker with the free mario rubiks cube thingy they got going, should look nice next to my splatoon water gun. As for download, wait for reviews of all the games or just grab tecmo bowl.

@Takerkaneanite6
I completely agree with you. I hope in his last days he had good thoughts about the recent success of amiibos, splatoon, and about his tenure overall with nintendo...

And not thoughts about all the hate and negativity he must have read about with the e3 presentation. Regardless, RIP mr Iwata.

gonna get my copy of splatoon at target along with a free splatoon themed watergun. i think thats what the ad said.

background music @ :30-1:25...is that "beat dis" by bomb the bass?

still have a working copy. great game.

darksiders 2 and lego marvel for $10 each? sold. $10 each for jeapardy or wheel of fortune? hmm...

i liked top gear overdrive more cause it was a fun arcade style racer, but top gear rally was pretty good too. unless i missed it, hope world driver championship makes the "64" list. that was probably my favorite sim racer along with the f1 game on the n64.

this is actually a good week: lots of discounts, new indie games, dlc content, and a gba classic...and people are still "nothing this week" and complaining about the eshop?

i can understand waiting for reviews or disapointment in not getting your favorite retro game, but i can also see 3rd party developers reading comments and thinking..." nintendo owners dont buy 3rd party games".

of course, if people are mainly saying the VC needs to have more games than i would totally agree. still, maybe pick up one of the new or discounted eshop indie games instead.

so smooth and fast with all those vehicles on screen, i was amazed at the time. didnt care that the backgrounds were sparse, had too much fun on the actual tracks. great game, 9/10.

i remember this game. the replays looked great. i enjoyed playing it and was another game i should have bought instead of rented back then. 8/10 for me.

like others here i rented this multiple times and enjoyed it, especially just walking around and exploring the world. really should have bought it back then.

beetle adventure racing, san francisco rush, top gear rally, world driver championship, mrc racing(?), gt64, automobili lamborghini(sp), top gear overdrive were all racing games i found more enjoyable than crusin usa.

i have a dynasty warriors & samurai warriors game on my now red-ringed 360. i like the games cause of the japanese and chinese history & characters, and the fact that i consider them the action-game equivalent of the old koei strategy games i love so much(nobunagas ambition, romance of the three kingdoms 2, etc).

might buy koei's warriors orochi for wii u still, but will probably just get hyrule warriors first. looking forward to see the zelda world adapted to this series.

winback64, isnt that a koei game? anyway, winback and hybrid heaven were two games i never got a chance to try out on the n64. heard good things about both though.

im in the states, but i used to buy total64 magazine cause for some reason my local grocery store carried it. then they stopped. really loved that magazine, still have half a dozen in a box. not sure why they gave buck bumble a 92 though lol.

havent been keeping up with this series of articles on the 64, but apparently its random games and not 64 best on the console? looking forward to seeing the final 64 games chosen. big fan of the n64 with a still working one in a box in a closet(not gathering dust, but to prevent it from collecting dust)

just the turn-based samurai strategy game nobunaga's ambition from koei for me, maybe cubemen.

nobunaga's ambition!?!? sold!!!

@ rougeleader wait, what? 3 kingdoms 12 is on wii u(im guessing japan only)? sold!!!

i like the dynasty & samurai warriors hack n slash fests, but i miss the old turn-based strategy games of the romance series. bring #12 over, or at least put three kingdoms ll(snes) on the vc.

oh...lots of cool screenshots worthy of being avatar or wallpaper pics:)

if this eventually gets cancelled on wii u, it will be one of those rare times that i will be disappointed in saving $60 as opposed to spending it.

lets hope it all turns out ok.

another game to buy, or at least consider? awesome. glad nintendo helped get this type of game on the wii u.

good surprise. looks fun. best part about this game to me is the use of color. lots of hd color in a shooting game? fine by me.

looks much better than before. some great video footage. i have samurai and dynasty warriors on my 360, will definitely add hyrule warriors for my wii u.

really like the look of the new zelda game for wii u. real-world type graphics, but with so much color and personality. looks like a world i want to explore and interact with. cant wait.

2 for 1? im in.

loving mk8, but until i play it for wks/months on end, double dash is still my all time favorite. that gamecube game has lasted me for a decade. still have my working copy and a gc and occasionally play it.

I pre-ordered mine from target. got a free Mario key chain with the card, will get a free $5 gift card when I show up to get the game, and apparently will get a free wii wheel with the game according to this weeks ad. I guess those 3 things might be worth a couple of extra days of waiting if I stick with my preorder.

(kraftwerks' "electric cafe" playing in background) .....sprockets, german television presents, sprockets

or

"i liked the game, but without 1080p and 60fps, i give it only 4 watts and half a mcferran"

setting aside $10 a month so i can get this day one in nov. played forza 5 on my brothers xbox one, so cant wait for this on the wii u and gamepad. should be good, hopefully great.

its all old-school for me this wknd.

xbox360- will play or set up a few demos on ncaa march madness to simulate the final 4.
wii u- will be playing advance wars & metroid fusion for the 1st time after i buy an eshop card.
pc- maybe start another scenario on shogun total war(yeah, the old, original version)

awesome, looks great, day one purchase.

also, cant wait for new zelda and mario games to take place in those types of wide open environments. i think it would be fun just walking around and exploring the areas.

nothing for me this week, but f1 race stars is on sale for 15, down from 30, so i downloaded that. fun game to tide me over till mk8.

so the roman(?) chess pieces dont actually fight when you move them ala battle chess back in the day? next-gen, i am disappoint:(

jk, i actually might get this despite not being good at chess. cross platform online play helps seal the deal.

i want to know what their break room looks like. perhaps a wii u for employees to play with and be inspired by....or just a couple of vending machines with over priced chips?

also, i get what everybody is saying with ...its the inside that counts, structural sturdiness, functional simplicity, etc... but you would think the nintendo letters would be in color at least to stand out a bit.

@ nintenjoe64

Never had access to a saturn. I do remember(vaguely) a sega soccer slam though.

I hope they contact sega and go half with them on a football(USA-style) game featuring nintendo mascots. This would allow both companies to share the cost/risk of the game, allow for wii u to fill in a sports genre gap(madden 13 not withstanding), and allow sega to bring back their football franchise back as an exclusive to the wii u(since they can't have the nfl license thanks to ea).

Gameplay wise they could have a sim mode with heavy customizable features, and an arcade mode with power ups and gameplay similar to an nfl blitz or mutant league-style hockey game on the genesis.

Also, a 1st or 3rd person shooter with nintendo characters......but in a much more colorful game, with creative world/arenas , fun weapons and online emphasis. Team zelda vs team mario, etc.

Crazy ideas, I know. But these would be fun to me and fill in some game genre gaps and help alleviate costs if nintendo goes half on the project. Plus, because they get to use licensed nintendo characters, the game might sell better or have immediate brand recognition for 3rd parties who are worried their game might not sell.

@platypus101

Yes I wrote that. But I'm afraid you inferred to much from that comment. I merely meant that wii u owners want the new controller that came with the wii u, not have to use the remotes from the wii. When the gamepad is the new selling point of a new console for new game experiences, obviously most people want to use the new gamepad. Right? And you have to admit, the gamepad is kinda different from a wii remote.

So i wasn't upset you said crazy, I was upset you insinuated that I said new controller = more fun as that was not the point I was making at all. But if it was a misunderstanding, fair enough:)

@platypus101

And I don't like it when people talk off topic or change the subject. Are you even replying to the correct post? All i said was that the gamepad was a great controller and unique and that wii u owners want/should have more than one per console since local multiplayer is stressed so much. Why should only one person get to enjoy their own gamepad while others have to settle for old wii remotes?

I didn't mention ps or xbox controllers at all.

I love the gamepad, and think its a great idea. Here's the problem... there's only one allowed per console. Because nintendo stresses local multiplayer, and not a lot of other titles have online play, only one person gets to use this unique gamepad.

Its like inviting friends over and saying "check out my new wii u and this great new controller. Let's play some multiplayer. I will use the cool gamepad...everyone else use the half-decade old remotes".

Not fun watching one person enjoy the new controller( and casual consumers will think its just an accessory or new controller option when they see everyone else with an old remote in the ad). And passing the gamepad around gets old. Gamers want their own.

Either make wii u compatible with more gamepads and sell gamepads individually, or at the very least package a pro controller or wii mote plus with wii u's. But don't give up on the gamepad(more games that utilize its features would help too of course). If you are going to stress local mp, people want their own unique gamepad.

I don't understand. If you are losing money in your last earnings report, and you have a slow retail release month...why would you not load up on VC releases to help with both problems(make profit and fill in game gaps)?

I haven't given up on my wii u, has nintendo? I know jan is considered a slow month in general for games, but nintendo needs to be agressive and change their gameplan. It makes no sense to me. Mighty bomb jack is the major/only "new" option this wk? Really?

If only nintendo diehard fans are supporting nintendo now, then they need to support and cater to us. We have money and are willing to spend it. ' Grandpa casual' and 'non-informed grandma' ain't gonna pay your bills nintendo. We are.

Sorry, end rant.

Those thinking the wii u will be number one again.....plz stop.

Those wishing nintendo would end the wii u just because it isn't number one.....plz stop.

Those hoping to play upcoming 1st/2nd party wii u games, eshop games, and wii back catalogue games on their wii u in the next few years.....plz continue.

I'm heartbroken as much as the next person that I won't get to play madden and
1st person shooter #203 on wii u, but that's why I will eventually add a ps4/xbox1 to my wii u. I just hope they don't fight next to each other on my console stand. Oh wait, they are inanimate objects, nm.

(My opinion only, sorry to offend)

So they don't sue nintendo during the "printing money" wii yrs.....but they are suing them during the "revenue loss" wii u years.

Patent trolls? Possibly
Stupid patent trolls? Definitely
