Re: Get Ready for Light Gun Action in This Week's North American Nintendo Download Update

mowerdude

I actually liked Hogan's Alley and The Adventures of Bayou Billy back on the nes. I never played Wild Gunman that I can remember because I was born in 85. I purchased duck hunt on the Wii U VC and I actually thought it was to easy with a cross-hair on the screen so I don't really know if I will be repurchasing these games since I think they will actually be to easy this time around with the cross-hair. Also I miss the flashing screen when you pull the trigger on the light gun.

Nothing yet again this week thanks NOA for saving me so much money this year. I had spend my money on something so I picked up and Xbox one and MS love's taking customers money for good products. The Wii U system might actually be my last Nintendo console that I purchase from NOA because of how lazy there are here. I am seriously thinking about importing Nintendo's NX console from NOE when ever it get's released so I don't have do deal with Nintendo Of America laziness with releasing there games.

Not really surprised it is Nintendo of America that we are talking about here. Just another lame week on the eshop yet again for us. So glad I didn't jump on that bestbuy eshop card sell this year like I did last year. I will be spending my money elsewhere either psn or xbox live will be get most of my money this year for xmas. Not one cent will be going to Nintendo of America this year.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy May Arrive on the North American Wii U eShop on 24th December

Nintendo of America really need's to step up there virtual console releases or just let Nintendo of Europe take it over. As for Super Mario Galaxy No I will not be purchasing it anytime soon if it get's released tomorrow on the eshop. I will just wait it out until I can get it for a cheaper price since I have done played it a ton back on the original Wii console back when it was first released. Also I will be visiting friends and family most of tomorrow and maybe get to play the newer games that I will receive tomorrow. Instead of and old 8 year old game.

Re: Nintendo of America Lines Up Some Last Minute Festive Deals

mowerdude

Hopefully Walmart will price match the BestBuy deal of Buy one game and get 40% off the second for Wii U games since I don't own/want a handheld console. Other wise I will pickup nothing because it is over 50 miles one way to the nearest bestbuy store and also target. So I usually get most of my games from walmart or gamestop sometimes from amazon, but since they are the closets to where I live. This still isn't that great of a deal but I guess it is better than nothing.

Re: Nintendo of America Confirms Its Black Friday eShop Cyber Deals

Nintendo's Wii U sell's are awful, Glad I own a Playstation 3 and 4, and Xbox 360 so I can actually get some great deals on games instead of nintendo's lame wii u section of over priced games. Reason I didn't mention the 3ds sale is because I don't play any handle gaming console at all so I don't really care what that is on sale on there to start with. My wallet is save yet again from Nintendo of America.

Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards

@rushiosan Nintendo offers only one retail Wii U game compared to 7 3ds retail games is the problem. And I done own Tropical Freeze retail disc so there really isn't anything for Wii U only owers to pickup. Because if I wanted any of the VC games for wii u I would have done purchased them or will purchase them they are not worth wasting platinum status on a old $5 vc game.

Re: Opinion: Splatoon Is to Shooters what Mario Kart Is to Racers

mowerdude

The only way Nintendo will convince me to purchase this game at full retail price is to put a demo of it up on the eshop and then I can decide for myself if I actually like the game enough to justify the purchase price. But Nintendo demo's and the eshop never seem to go together they would rather put a demo in a retail store for about 2 days were not very many people will actually have the time/chance to play it.

Re: Opinion: Splatoon Is to Shooters what Mario Kart Is to Racers

@Gerbwmu That's good and all but right here is the killer to that.

Due to the ranking system and overall more competitive feel to Ranked Battle, it will not be available at launch, rather the developers will be keeping a close eye on the number of players and their levels before releasing this mode so as not to put players at a disadvantage due to inexperience.

It doesn't making any sence that you can't choose which mode you want to play.

Also hopefully Nintendo let's people use the Wii U Pro Controller instead of forcing everyone to use the gamepad for single player mode and online multiplayer mode, and hopefully if they do you can have the map on the tv screen and be-able to jump to other players in the game by mashing the select button and moving the crosshairs over top of another player on your team and pressing a button on the Wii U Pro controller instead of having to have the gamepad controller out beside you to do this stuff.

Re: Review: Mario Party 10 (Wii U)

mowerdude

What I don't get is why Nintendo decided to relay on Wii Remotes for this game, if the main controller is a Wii Remote it should have been a Wii game not a Wii U game. Nintendo should have let you use the Wii U pro controller and gamepad for this game instead of just the Wii Remote. So I will pass on MP10 since you can't use the Wii U controller.

Re: Reaction: The Nintendo 'NX', and Why We Think a Unified Platform is the Future

mowerdude

I purchased most of Nintendo's home consoles day one most of them were great, but the Wii U really was a ok console but has gotten worse over the years, So from now on I will be holding out on purchasing any Nintendo products day one ever again. Also I hope that Nintendo doesn't combine the handheld and home console together because not everyone want's another gamepad style controller for there home console. Plus I still haven't purchased a PS4 or X1 yet so I would more than likely pickup one of them over a new nintendo console since I done have a Wii U.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Highlights Nintendo's Strength in Franchises, and Goal for Wii U to "Stand Up To Time"

mowerdude

The Wii u is a great console, love SM3DW, MK8, Pikmin 3, Shovel Knight, but 2015 in my opinion seem's like the worse year for Nintendo Wii U games. The only games that I will be purchasing for the Wii U in 2015 will be Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Zelda U, and maybe Starfox still need to see more of that game to make up my mind on it. As for the rest of Nintendo's Wii U line up I don't really care for mini games, party games, or DIY Mario Maker that is being releasing in 2015. But Maybe need will surprise me at E3 this year with some games that I will actually be interested in like Metroid for Wii U or F-Zero for Wii U or a New Ip not splatoon either.

Re: Nintendo's Implementation of Cross-Buy is Surprisingly Generous

mowerdude

@HeroOfCybertron It isn't really abusing the system if say you own a Wii U and say you own 3 3DS consoles I see nothing wrong with it being able to have the games on all the systems that you actually own. Sony's PS3 will let you do the same exact thing, even Microsoft's Xbox 360 will let you do it also.
