It's a pretty ingenious move by publishers. Don't want to pay for larger cartridges? Let the consumer buy an SD card to hold our massive game instead!

Not at those controller prices.

Forcing people to actually read about a game instead of just drawing kneejerk conclusions from a generalized number is probably a good thing.

I wonder how many games that would actually interest and be enjoyed by some people were passed over by them because they skipped the review and decided 6 or 7 out of 10 isn't good enough.

Live action? Barf.

NOA probably makes a killing on the Special Edition XL's. Interchangeable faceplates could bite into that.

Did you guys do this one purpose? NA doesn't even get a choice.

The Epic Mickey game on 3DS looks just like this.

Cool. He's totally right. How about a Super Mario Sunshine sequel then?

@Kaze_Memaryu
Then don't buy it?

I'd have hoped you guys would clarify this story considering the "Developers" are a bunch of no name guys that do not have the money to make a game like this.

So if I say "I'm going to revive Project HAMMER" will I get an interview and article here?

Lol. There is no reason to believe this will happen. None.

You know it's bad when even Ubisoft tears away from your console. It's hard to see things turning around for the Wii U when 3rd parties are getting burned every time they touch it.

While I'm sure Nintendo fanboys would be perfectly fine with only 1st party games, it's not viable.

For all the Nintendo stans here usually screaming "Gameplay over graphics!" constantly, you guys sure are judging this game quickly off of screenshots.

Well the Wii U sales are terrible and judging by these comments it's no wonder 3rd parties are abandoning the Wii U. The people who do own the console don't even buy 3rd party games.

Unfortunately third party games don't sell well on Wii U.

Nope. I never liked realistic anthropomorphic style. I prefer the kind like Sly Cooper or Ratchet and Clank.

I hate the term "Metroidvania" It's used so loosely nowadays where any 2D adventure game with an interconnected world and backtracking is called Metroidvania. (I've even heard a 3D game Batman Arkham Asylum called Metroidvania. Really?) Just call it Metroid-like, Castlevania SOTN didn't add anything to the style to be included in the term. (Besides mediocre RPG elements, which most of these so called Metroidvania games never even have.)

Not really hyped for the 3DS version because the best part about Smash Bros for me is playing in front of a TV with family and friends. With the 3DS you have to find someone with a 3DS or online. meh.

So from what I gather with these divisive review scores, it's an okay platformer, it's just not good enough to make up for the lack of creativity, uninspired graphics, bad music, and lack of Yoshi's island charm.

Aw yeaah. This is something I've dreamed about since I first heard about Oculus Rift.

The worst part about this site is that apparently 6/10 means it's utter garbage.

Really lazy fake. Not even news worthy.

@spidey1010
I don't think you understand how this game works..

Everyone should buy Chibi Robo. Show some support for localizing it.

So a 7/10 is considered bad now?

What the hell? The 3DS effectively has no way to message your friends now because Nintendo wants to play nanny?
Taking away basic OS features like this because some people use it inappropriately is really infuriating
At least give the 3DS Miiverse functionality before taking it away.

Disappointing, but not surprising, when can we start considering Square Enix a full on Mobile app developer?

@Araknie This doesn't make any sense to me, Donkey Kong Country, Banjo, Metroid Prime were developed by western game studios. I don't see why it matters, I play Nintendo because I like to play amazingly polished, traditional, feel good games, they give me feeling most other consoles and PC games can't. If a developer can help Nintendo to release games like that, they can be based in Mars for all I care.

Wonder why they used they Sonic Heroes/SA1 style.

Can't stand this guy, he thinks he's smarter than everyone else and whines for the sake of whining.

Maybe, but wasn't the original ad campaign for Smash 64 the characters frolicking in a field and then beating the crap out of each other? I don't really get it.

Nah, It's just your Basic model is a bad value.

ITT: Biased insecure Nintendrones

Could you still play it if you don't have NSMBU?

Seriously?
If the kid was already a parent at 13, you think it's the video games that caused him to attack someone?
It's not like the kids life could be just ****** up.

@Stark_Nebula
The Wind Waker comparison isn't apt since it's still majorly the same series, just new art style, but you still knew it's Zelda, with majorly the same tone.

This on the other hand looks like Dead Space or Halo with Mega Man slapped on it to appeal to the superficial western gamers. (Which is all Inafune cares about nowadays.)

It's not comparable to Metroid Prime either, since MP didn't completely change tone, it's still Metroid with similar ideas but in a new perspective.

If any comparison is apt to this it's DmC.

I really can't stand dark and edgy reboots of everything in an attempt to appeal to the dudebro crowd, so no.

Aren't Pop Tarts also copyrighted?

Suprised people are offended by this, this is pretty tame for most JRPGs (Or anime ones I should say.)
But I guess since Awakening is having a much wider audience, NOE decided to change it.

How do you not know who Scrooge McDuck is?

wth Aksys? Where Fate/Extra CCC?

I'll miss the nintendo channel

"It's not about the hardware, it's about the games."
"Where are the games?"
"Look, we have two screens now!"

@Flowerlark
You have a PC right? Mac and Linux will also work.

The whole thing is even worse, when Rein was asked if there would be UE4 support for WiiU, the whole room of devs laughed. Hahaha, no.

Oh man, all the hype from Nintendrones about 3rd party games on WIIU sure died down lately, Now it's just "I only like Nintendo games anyways!"
Remember when everyone was saying it won't have the same 3rd party issues the Wii had? Yeah.. Same problem again.

why put a game on WiiU if they don't think the time and money invested will be worth it? Its not their job to support the platform when its not doing well, its Nintendo's to give them a reason to.

This has nothing to do with people trying to screw the Wii U, the development of this game is such a train wreck. I'm guessing SEGA just wants to move on from this crap Gearbox shat out because they didn't care and took their money.

The game is truly garbage anyway, plus the less who support Gearbox the better.

It'd be better if DE:HR wasn't on sale for like 5$ on Steam all the time.
