If there were to be a price drop, I'd just hope it'd be for the 32gb model, and only down to 300$. With this, a removal of the 8gb model would make sense. I'm not worried, it's nothing they need to do til the end of the year, and companies NEVER announce price drops so soon.
Oh, they'll be back, guys, don't be silly. They don't seem to understand ALL new consoles will have a slow start, the only exception I see is the PS4, but even then, I don't think it'll be selling as well as we're all expecting it to, not for a good while. Not because it's not a good system, it's probably the best console out of the pack, but it's more because of the times. People aren't as enticed to buy the latest console, only gamers really are, and of course, rich parents. And don't get me started on Xbox One, that is going to be a massive trainwreck within itself, I think as soon as EA notices that this generation, Sony and Nintendo will be dominating, they'll start supporting us equally again.
It's true though, it hasn't even been a year, honestly. It'll take time for this one, a controller redesign is all it would need at the most, honestly. Make it smaller, not too small, maybe the size of the bottom half of a 3DS XL, shaped more like a controller, keep the screen in the center, but make it 50% of the actual controller instead of 75% of the controller. If Nintendo did that, I think it would really help, and the Gamepad itself wouldn't be such an iffy concept to everyone. It's really something you need to experience yourself, you can't judge this book by it's cover.
Yes, please do focus on any plans for DLC AFTER the game is completed. Many companies are doing it wrong lately, selling an unfinished game, and making you finish the puzzle by paying extra.
Nobody will buy this unless they haven't already played it. Nobody will pay full price for a patch on machines that already have this software available.
@rjejr Why are you even complaining? The game does not look bad at all, I don't understand. It may not be revolutionary visually but it's beautiful no matter what way you look at it. I honestly want to say it looks better than Sonic Racing Transformed.
I already have SMB3 and F Zero on my Wii VC, and even then, it isn't worth it. Maybe if it was SMB3 for the 3DS, that's more of a game I'd like to take around with me.
Psh, who needs DLC. Developers are being morons by excluding us from it, the console is perfectly capable of it, plus they're DIGITAL purchases, you aren't losing any money by giving us DLC.
I'll definitely donate if we get some Wii U confirmation before the Kickstarter is over... it looks pretty, I'll definitely get it if it comes out on Wii U. My current PC isn't made for gaming, and a gaming PC isn't anywhere in my future, so it's the only way I'd be playing it.
Not mad at Ubi, at least they're giving us a chance. But that's all it is, a chance. We're no longer a focus, they're no longer really trying to help us out.
This pisses me off to no end. Because if anything, people will pick up the Vita version over the Wii U version.
I'll get Legends at some point, but it's no longer a priority. I'm a bit peeved with it.
Yesss this looks like Sonic X-Treme reimagined. I'm so excited.
I love the departure from a serious setting, as well! This is nice and refreshing, Sonic has always tried to keep some sort of realism in the mix since Sonic Adventure, and it's always rubbed off oddly on me.
I'm also interested to see if Robotnik stays out of this! It'd be nice to have a break from him. And I mean, after Generations, it'd be no surprise...
Anyone good from Rare left long ago, it's a shell of it's former self, reduced to creating Kinect shovelware. After the accident that was Nuts n Bolts, I could hardly be jealous, even if it was Killer Instinct, because it's frankly going to be trash.
Nintendo is going to be fine. I'm serious, they're a cheaper alternative, and they're going to have a lot of great games, exclusives are saving them here. I know I'm sure I won't be having more than a Wii U and a beefy PC in my house this generation.
@Angelic_Lapras_King I'm sure with some heavy optimization, it all depends if the developers are willing to water down the game for a Wii U port, but it doesn't hurt to hope for it!

Re: Club Nintendo's June Rewards Bring Out More Retro Goodies
