I'll buy WiiU if I can get the same games that are ported to XBox and PS3. If I have to use XBox and PS3 to play the hard core games whats the point? I'm to replay Mario and Zelda etc on the WiiU?
"marketed towards their more elderly consumer-base". Just because it's big? Is your 42" LCD wide screen TV marketed toward old people? I always thought the game boy and DSI with their postage size screen was too small. Nintendo should have added a video output for TV. I'll have to see the DSi LL first hand before I buy.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii – On my Christmas list Sin and Punishment 2 — WOW A wild shooting fest. Metroid: Other M — On my list Super Mario Galaxy 2 — Yes. On my list. Span Smasher — Pictures look interesting. Monado: Beginning of The World — hack and slash with HUGE swords
They should have playtesting groups go through the motion of paying (out of their pocket) for the game and see how they react. May see a big difference then just beta testing.
@J.Lowther: Can you have beta testers on the Wii through the Shop channel?
Since it's Wiiware Medaverse Studios can update it to fix any problems. Reading the review maybe add options to change colors, increase speed of projectiles and fix the dead space between the songs, etc
I remember playing a card version called Waterworks created by Parker Brothers in 1972. (Oh my that's a while ago.) Steam machine looks like frantic fun.
Ahh reminds me when when my brothers and I would whip out the kitchen knifes and cleavers and have a good ole Friday night. Saturday clean up was the pits.
$50 saving? I never call it a saving. It's money not spent. We need a bail out from our government to buy Wii's and games. Good to see a drop in price.
Maybe Nintendo should have each person register for their DSi content. If something happens to your DSi you can contact Nintendo to register your new DSi to the old content. How do they know you deleted the software from the old DSi? They don't. That would mean you would have to log on to your DSi. I doubt they will download content similar to Valve and Amazon.
Content must be locked to hardware not a username and password. I'm sure Nintendo will accommodate you to transfer the contents to a new DSi. Whats the cost to repair a DSi?
From my experience you can't access Shop Channel unless you update to 4.2U. Just be lucky Nintendo doesn't have software to sniff out homebrew, hacks, etc everytime the menu restarts or the system turns on.
I'm guessing the Wii 2 will drop gamecube support, Wii backward compatible, HD support (I hope they have a separate 5.1 audio output), support USB keyboard, maybe use an internal SSD drive and support larger flash cards.
I have to agree with ODOGG618. Most of the games on Wiiware are too short. And to argue that you pay $10 and the game play should be short is silly. But notice it's a side scroller. hmm Old school?
I hope it's a side scroller. Some games are best from the original first games. The NES series of Castlevania and the DS version all side scrollers were fun. Another games I prefer as a side scroller is Metroid. Super Metroid was a lot of fun. There's nothing wrong with "old school" games. They just need to sit down and make some original stories and graphics.
Well I'm done playing easy mode and the game. I could play normal and hard; if I want to die a lot. I have to agree the game was too short; similar to Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.

Re: New Wii U System Update Goes Live

Re: Ubisoft Believes in Wii U for Core and Casual Customers

The song has a similar beat as the theme from Shaft.
Re: It's Official: Big-Screen DSi LL is Confirmed
I always found the Gameboy and DS too small for older eyes. I welcome a larger screen.
Re: Interviews: The Code Monkeys
"and then when it reached 58MB" Is this the WiiWare limit? Why not 100MB?
Looks like fun. It's better throwing banana's then poo.

Re: Call of Duty Comparison Shots Don't Do The Wii Any Favours
If Nintendo came out with Wii 2; that can handle the same graphics as the other consoles I would buy it NOW.

Re: Nintendo vs R4: The Lawsuit and the Snitch
You are still arguing why it's ok to hack, cheat and steal. Why not argue why you shouldn't?

Re: Square Enix Prez Stares Into Crystal Ball; Sees New Wii in 2011

Re: PopCap Sets Sights On DSiWare, DS
Why are we seeing more flash games coming to DSi and Wii? These are games you can play online.
Re: Interviews: Learning with the PooYoos - Lexis Numérique’s Djamil Kemal
How about Humongous games for Wii? Putt-Putt, Fatty Bear and my favorite Freddy Fish. My kids loved them.
Re: Review: Soul Blazer (Super Nintendo)
Published by Enix. Will Square Enix release some of ENIX's greatest hits. I hope so.
I almost forgot about this game. Good review.
Re: And Yet It Moves
Another side-scroller . Excellent dream game. I hope they have bosses and power up's and unlocks.

Re: Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth Coming This Month
I hope it's a side scroller. Some games are best from the original first games. The NES series of Castlevania and the DS version all side scrollers were fun. Another games I prefer as a side scroller is Metroid. Super Metroid was a lot of fun. There's nothing wrong with "old school" games. They just need to sit down and make some original stories and graphics.
Re: Wii Version of Madden NFL 10 Selling Poorly
Why does Nintendo (and others) insist using the Wii controller and not a traditional controller as an alternative?
Re: Dead Space: Extraction
Extraction is a 'rail shooter'. I'll have to see the game to decide. I would rather have free form.
Re: Contra ReBirth
Well I'm done playing easy mode and the game. I could play normal and hard; if I want to die a lot. I have to agree the game was too short; similar to Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.
I'm getting very picky on what I buy now.
Re: Review: Contra ReBirth (WiiWare)
So far Contra is very exciting. Can't wait to try 2 play mode. Love the graphics. Some spots remind me of Contra 3.
Re: Muramasa: The Demon Blade Armory Trailer
I would prefer if the publishers would not show most of the game. I would rather be surprised.
