Hundred percent. iOS is solid but very limited to my needs. Android is more open and customizable to what I need.
Also not all Android phones are the same. You probably went with a crappy phone or crappy modified Android OS in it. So yeah, not all Android phones are the same.
@IceClimbers Agreed on headphone jack! Gyro is the most important for me since I hate (and suck at) aiming with the R stick. And yeah on the battery. I charge like every 4-6 months (alternating with gamepad, pro, and wiimote).
I've only played online so far. No disconnections using a WiFi one room apart from the console. Maybe it's not server issues at all? I haven't picked up my amiibos yet so no single player for me for the mean time. Awesome game!
@DarthNocturnal @brucelebnd
Or you can get it now and start playing. The contents will eventually come. Plus you'll miss some events, probably some limited items from these events. You'll be playing catch up if you wait that long and could be overwhelming for you by then. It's fun. You guys are missing a lot.
@BakaKnight @ThomasBW84 Yeah this was sooo last week. Anyway I got SI2 day one. I may get The Swapper next week before the promo ends. The rest? Meh, not for me.
@Ryno
No they are going to charge you 28$ NOW for an incomplete eShop game to be played AFTER a year or so which is likely going to be delayed for the Wii U than the other platforms.
@Ichiban
I don't think it's being lazy. As I said earlier, the game was like 10-20% complete since its reveal last year. Also a game map in 1997 isn't as complicated as maps in 2015.
@Ryno Yeah because they didn't announce we're getting free updates (game modes, maps, features) in the future right? Obviously this game isn't complete yet but they'd rather (or they need) to release it now rather than later. It was a multiplayer game first like COD, BF, Destiny, Titanfall so why are you guys expecting a meaty single player content? I read somewhere (Iwata Asks) that the game was like 10-20% (not sure about the exact number) when it was revealed last E3.
The amiibo contents? The review said they just took some stages available on the base game and just added challenges and bonus costumes on it. Not really a big deal unless you prefer the main contents (online multi) of the game locked behind amiibo?
@Savino Jose Otero from IGN said we'll expect the review on the 27th. That said, you'll get mostly a review in progress even on Nintendo Life since they'll test the online functionality on launch first before finalizing the review.
I really really like the song. Kids these days thinks all songs that isn't rock or not their preferred ones are cringeworthy. I guess we have different tastes? Anyway, the paintbrush's swing seems OP and fast to me. You also move fast but covers the ground narrowly. It is basically the opposite of a real roller.
Digital game download is way better. Digital game streaming on the other hand is the worst (DRM) since you'll always need an internet connection to play.
@Spoony_Tech
When they asked for new IP, it doesn't mean they have to buy a new IP though. Personally I find the the settings and the characters uninteresting. I'm not saying it's a bad game, I liked the demo and will buy it down the line but the setting and the characters especially the enemies are boring.
@Shiryu Exactly. The Wii U may end up a gimped version if they'll port it. I'll wait for reviews IF it comes on the Wii U. I would have backed this if it comes to the Wii U along with the other two consoles using an engine supported by the U.
Same bullpoop from @Quorthon again. Carry on people. Props to @ricklongo for pointing those to him. Of course he's "always" right so it'll just go in circles. Can we have an ignore button in the comments section soon @ThomasBW84? I'm willing to pay a subscription to have it.
While I think Codename STEAM is a good game, the story and the characters/setting are uninteresting. The enemies are boring. That said I will get this eventually. It's just that I'm on Wii U and amiibo mode right now on my spendings and still have 3DS games waiting to be played on my N3DS.
It should have been a Wii U title IMO. Better graphics, gyro controls on the gamepad and all. I would have gotten it day one. Plus this was delayed in Europe and Japan so the hype already died down...

Re: Nintendo Download: 4th June (Europe)
I'm still level 14 on Splatoon and will start single player when I'm level 20 and my gears are set so nothing for me this week.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo NX Could Use Google's Android Operating System
@Ferret
Well it's better than iOS. My wife have an iPhone and I can't stand using it. Android>Windows>iOS.
Plus this will be a modified Android OS if the rumors are true so who knows.

The amiibos don't really add something online besides costumes you'll discard later for better looking gears.
Re: Parent Trap: Splatoon Gets Family Tested, And Comes Through With Flying Colours
System seller. It will be right there second to MK8 in sales. Nope, Smash will be on distant 3rd.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Out Now on the Wii U eShop in Japan
Why remaster a Wii game you can easily find in stores and is compatible with the Wii U? Bring those GC remasters on the Wii U.

LOL. I'd love Nintendo to release a New Wii U Pro with built in gyro.

Re: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Gets a Wii U Stretch Goal
The big question is, will it be released concurrently with the XOne and PS4?
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Gets a Wii U Stretch Goal
Maybe. Maybe I'll just wait for the reviews of the Wii U port version.

Re: Nintendo UK Planning Massive Marketing Push For Splatoon
@Boxmonkey
More like it'll stay on the top 20 for at least 2 months.
Re: Nintendo UK Planning Massive Marketing Push For Splatoon
I think Splatoon will outsell Smash but will only be second to MK8. I hope it'll launch smoothly.

Re: Art Academy: Atelier Sketched In For 26th June Release in Europe, Includes YouTube Upload Feature
So no need to buy the SketchPad if you'll get this? But I may just get both as well since they'll be 30€ if I buy the SketchPad before the full app.
