Already paid up fully and waiting for the game to release and be posted. While the lack of DLC wouldn't have made me not get the game, I'm disappointed nonetheless.
How do people make judgements about the console before the big hitters launch. The Wiiu's greatest asset is Nintendo themselves and with only 2 games published it's far too early.
If this helps to sell more Wii U's in the UK, that's great. I am happy with my Wii U and the price I paid and it's certainly worth every dollar in my opinion.
Personally I don't see the Xbox 360 doing better than the last especially if Sony release around the same time and is more powerful. I also do not believe this will be Nintendo's last console.
I must say the Gamepad has changed my habits a lot. I hardly use my PC now because I do most of my browsing on the GP. I love having the TV on and browsing or playing Zen Pinball at the same time.
C'mon this seems ridiculous. I really wanted Super Meat Boy for Wiiware and it was an amazing game but other than that, what's makes them think that the character deserves to be put in Super Smash Bros? I don't blame the company for canning the Wiiware version but because it was, Nintendo or it's fans don't have any affinity to the character. Start making games for Nintendo platforms, get popular and then start making demands.
Monster Games has what it takes to port the game over. I can't wait because I wanted classic Controller support on the Wii version so the 3DS version will be right up my alley.
Aww man....why after all these years do I find this out. While I still have the GCN version, I don't have an Action Replay. Can you even get one for GC these days?
Believe it or not but I put 90+ hours into the game. I thought it copped unfair criticism from many when it was never going to be a main story mode Resi title. It is what it is and if you like achievements then there is lots to do.
While great sales for the Vita, Sony were probably expecting more considering the sales of the 3DS in the 1st week of it's own price drop (20k to 200+k).
I am not sure if the game is ever going to see the light of day. No official announcement or confirmation by Codemasters that the game is coming and the expected release date has passed without a whisper.
I think E3 is also about presentation. Ending the show last year with Nintendoland was not enough of a gasp moment. X ending the show on Nintendo direct was awesome and I hope Nintendo do it way better this year.
I am going to support the title even though I am sad that it's not a continuation of the GBA and DS titles. It's different but I'm glad I will get to play another Castlevania game.
Still my favourite system ever. Great 1st party titles as well as excellent 3rd party support. I had both the PAL version and the NA purple block version.
I don't think the physics or gameply is stale at all but I certainly think Nintendo could do lots more with the game. I mean just changing the game visually would be a huge step forward.
At first the demo made me disappointed because it's so different to the other Castlevania games. However I warmed into it pretty quickly and will indeed be planning to pick it up. March is going to be an expensive month.
When this game fails to sell well, the developers better not use the system as an excuse. I would have bought this game had it been on Wii U or even 3DS but my Wiiware days are over.
What's great is that they don't intend to stop supporting the Wii U and this is great. I was a huge fan of Burnout 2 and was really sad the 3rd iteration never hit the Wii.
While I don't live in Europe, I am happy that Nintendo have decided to attend. Shows like give many people the opportunity to play games and systems which could result in a purchase later!

Re: Nintendo Renews Eternal Darkness Trademark
Something must be cooking considering this is the 5th extension of the trademark..or atleast I hope.

Re: UK Price War Rages As Asda And Amazon Slice £50 Off Wii U Cost
If this helps to sell more Wii U's in the UK, that's great. I am happy with my Wii U and the price I paid and it's certainly worth every dollar in my opinion.
Re: Review: LEGO City: Undercover (Wii U)
Hmm I think I may have to get this game which would be my first Lego game. Thanks NL for the great, detailed review.
Re: Two Tribes: We Could Make A Damn Fine Star Fox Game For Wii U
I think Nintendo should at least entertain the idea. Companies that always support Nintendo should be given every opportunity to thrive.
Re: Unannounced Square Enix Wii U Title To Be Revealed At PAX East
Considering I am not really a JRPG person, I don't really mind if it's Deus Ex or Tomb Raider.
Re: The Nintendo DS Celebrates its 8th Birthday in Europe Today
The DS and I were such close friends but he didn't even bother inviting me to his birthday...maybe it's because I'm closer with his brother 3DS?
Re: Review: Nano Assault EX (3DS eShop)
Does this game share some levels with the Wii U version or is it a totally different game?
Re: Pachter: Wii U Will Sell Between 30 to 50 Million Units During Its Lifetime
Personally I don't see the Xbox 360 doing better than the last especially if Sony release around the same time and is more powerful. I also do not believe this will be Nintendo's last console.
Re: Capcom's Gun.Smoke Rated For 3DS eShop Release
I loved GunSmoke on NES. I don't understand why Capcom can't just come out and confirm this is coming to 3DS.

Re: F-Zero AX Found Hidden In GameCube F-Zero GX
@TheKingOfTown
Yeah well I only own a Wii, no GCN and if it's expensive I won't bother. I loved that game but could not finish it.
Re: Nintendo Outsourcing Development Of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
Monster Games has what it takes to port the game over. I can't wait because I wanted classic Controller support on the Wii version so the 3DS version will be right up my alley.

Re: Review: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate (3DS)
I am going to support the title even though I am sad that it's not a continuation of the GBA and DS titles. It's different but I'm glad I will get to play another Castlevania game.
Re: Review: BIT.TRIP Presents: Runner 2 Future Legend of Rhythm Alien (Wii U eShop)
I am waiting for this to hit PAL regions. Can't wait.
Re: "Modified" Version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution Classified by Australian Ratings Board
Hell yeah I am up for trying another franchise and Deus Ex has a great rep.
Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo Super Famicom
Still my favourite system ever. Great 1st party titles as well as excellent 3rd party support. I had both the PAL version and the NA purple block version.
Re: Crytek: Crysis 3 Was "Very Close To Launching" On Wii U
Another sign that Nintendo and EA's relationship isn't very good at the moment.
Re: Ubisoft Still Undecided On How To Use The Wii U GamePad In Watch_Dogs
While I would like a Pro Controller option just to be sure, the Gamepad is screaming to be used as a conduit for all the hacking in the game.
Re: Review: F-Zero (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
Totally agree with this review. What a great game that has aged extremely well!
Re: Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode Coming To 3DS in Japan
While no pokemon, this is another significant release for tge 3DS in Japan. The stars are really lining up for the system in 2013 in Japan.
Re: Developer Says Watch_Dogs Will Offer The "Same Experience" On All Consoles
Read that 3DS isn't getting a port.
Ha Ha. Oh wait.
Re: Nintendo - "Innovation is Important" for the 2D Mario Series
I don't think the physics or gameply is stale at all but I certainly think Nintendo could do lots more with the game. I mean just changing the game visually would be a huge step forward.
Re: Rumour: Wii Mini on the Way to Europe
No surprise. It's only a matter of time.
Re: Video: Chase McCain Introduced in New LEGO City: Undercover Webisode
That was too short.

Re: Capcom's Arcade Cabinet Games Could Be Hitting The 3DS
I wouldn't hold my breath. While I hope it comes out, Capcom's decisions to release or not release games on platforms never seem to make any sense.
Re: Side-Scrolling Fighter Dusty Raging Fist Is Punching Its Way To The Wii U eShop This Year
My type of game but lets hope the game can match greats such as Final Fight and Streets of Rage.
Re: Yes, Retro City Rampage Has A Release Date
When this game fails to sell well, the developers better not use the system as an excuse. I would have bought this game had it been on Wii U or even 3DS but my Wiiware days are over.
Re: Watch_Dogs
The screen shots and video are of the PS4 version. Anyway regardless I am getting the game on Wii U.
Re: You, Me, and the Cubes Designer Dies Ages 42
Wow this is really sad. R.I.P Mr Eno.
Re: Assassin’s Creed: Lost Legacy
This game was so HOT it had to be cancelled..lol.
Re: Nintendo Direct: Watch the Japanese 3DS Direct - Live!
Monster Hunter 4 looks amazing. Looks to be really pushing the hardware graphically speaking.
Re: Rumour: Scribblenauts Unlimited UK Recall Due To Lack Of UK English
Funny how here in Australia we use "UK" english yet it was satisfactory to release it here. Maybe it's because WB publishes it here and not Nintendo.
Re: Castlevania: Mirror of Fate Kept Mercury Steam Afloat
I really hope they nail it. The demo tonight will decide if I am getting the game. The DS Castlevania games were fantastic so I expect greatness.
Re: Future Wii U Need For Speed Titles Will Ship On The Same Day As Other Platforms
What's great is that they don't intend to stop supporting the Wii U and this is great. I was a huge fan of Burnout 2 and was really sad the 3rd iteration never hit the Wii.
Re: Nintendo Returns To Gamescom 2013
While I don't live in Europe, I am happy that Nintendo have decided to attend. Shows like give many people the opportunity to play games and systems which could result in a purchase later!
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February 2013 (Europe)
BEST Week EVER. Woohoo!
Re: The European Version Of F-Zero On Wii U Virtual Console Comes With 60Hz Support
Awesome. Really happy and hope this is a sign of every future VC game having 60hz support.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei IV Special Edition 3DS XL Coming To Japan
I really can't wait for the Wii U to go through a honeymoon period like the 3DS is having this year.
Re: No Off-Screen Play For Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate On Wii U
If it's a game that really does need to two screens to be it's best then by all means, it should be that way.
Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us (Wii U) Joker Trailer
Looks quite cool. However I would much rather a new Mortal Kombat game from the team.
Re: Turns Out Destiny Could Be Coming To The Wii U After All
It would be nice to own a Bungie game on the Wii U. Activision and Bungie..make it happen.
