You guys are totally missing the point about this game!!! people were excited about the prospect of interacting with a 3d enviroment with the wiimote...if you guys turn this into a 2d point and click, it will be nothing like what people were expecting from the original Sadness! I went from super excited to completely disapointed after reading this...
@rjejr it would be so wonderfull...im still hoping for some 3ds games to come to wii u, like A link between worlds...so, to be able to play console and portable games in just one system would be great
@kobashi100 we dont necessarily know what the main shareholders actually know about what nintendo is doing. But you are certainly right, missing your projections by like six million units sales is not suspicious at all, its not like nintendo does any market research to ascertain how much interest the market has on their products, they just ask the tooth fairy...michael pachter knew the wii u was gonna flop hard just because he is a genius
sometimes i feel like nintendo is trying to mislead the competition with the erroneus projections it has been making...i wouldnt be surprised if they have big things coming this year, real big things
@TheRealThanos oh, its true. I knew theres f1 in project cars, but i doubt it will be a fully fledged experience, since the game has so much more stuff, even if it had all the tracks (wich, apparently, it doesnt)
Project Cars, F1 2014 and Mario Kart 8 are my dream trio of racing games hehe
Since you like racing games, we should add each other on miiverse...how could we do that, if you dont mind?
im a racing enthusiast and i desperately want this game. I also want it to be succsessful on wii u to increase the probability of codemasters releasing F1 2014 for the Wii u...please! hehe
I think they wanna talk about smash now, because it could get overshadowed when nintendo reveals zelda and other things during e3.
I also think they will reveal to us that its going to be released prior to the hollyday season and leave us wondering what nintendo is going to release during the hollidays....cough cough zelda u cough hehe
I would like to call attention to the Wii U Image Share function that was added after this update...you can acsses it throught the wii u navigator in the bookmarks...im trying to tell this fr days, but nobody reads it hehe
if you have a Wii U and you dont want this game, you simply dont have the right to complain about the lack of third party support anymore...this game seems amazing to me and i cant wait to explore this city
With Wii U's capacity to send images to another device, like the gamepad, i think its likely they will release something similar to this Occulus. I always though they would, and, actually, we could find out about it pretty soon as they reveal Zelda U next e3.
@Kirk some limitations do exist, but also plenty of options of getting around them...where theres a will, theres a way...Virtual Fighter for the Sega Genesis should serve as another example, a 3d fighter ported to 16 bit console...these diferences in processing power in modern consoles are very overestimated. People see something in a 8th generation console and imediatelly assume that it wasnt possible before, while in some cases, it was not the tech that made it possible, but mostly the change in mentality that comes with a new generation.
As you said, limitations exist, but if theres financial interest in bringing this games to Wii U, they will come in some shape or form. Thats what i mean.
The gamepad in this game could be really fun and if it comes out looking much better then the ps3 and xbox360 versions, then it would be a big win for nintendo...im looking for this on wii u.
@Kirk I wish that was true. I wish the games i have been playing now were fundamentally diferent and more complex from games i had played 10 years in the past.
@Spoony_Tech yeah, but the important to notice is that the core gameplay mechanics were there, so its dificult to think that the ps4 could do anything that could not be adapted to the Wii U.
@Spoony_Tech well, nice point...but i guess, releasing a lesser version requires adaptation and they are probably focusing on the high end version now. Plus, third party companies have great interest in building the install base of next gen consoles, because thats where they will be making their living for the next 10 years...
Did you know, for example, that the Gameboy Color had a version of Resident Evil? Not a spin off, a port of the playstation game!
@Kirk agreed, but the lack of power is possibly the least important of all the reasons...maybe 5 years from now, they come up with some gameplay that the Wii U cant handle, but for now, even though its versions would be inferior graphcally, im pretty sure it could run all this games coming out for this other consoles...if the install base was there, not only in numbers, but also in type of install base, meaning core gamers willing to buy third party, those games would be coming
@Doma haha Cod: Modern Warfare whatever for the wii disagrees with you...and xenoblade chronicles also says hello
I hope u have understood that i meant that, even being graphically inferior, the core gameplay mechanics of any ps3 game could have been replicated on the Wii...and this is even more true for the Wii U. Theres even one interview with Reggie where he says that the main reason why some games did not come to the Wii was because it wasnt HD.
@EdwardCORE Nintendo releases oot 3d and wind waker hd, fans complain of too much remakes ...Nintendo doesnt reliese majoras mask hd or xenoblade hd, fans complain of not enough remakes
I hope they are fooling us and despite this november project, theres also another one in a far more developed state...i dont believe they have spent so much time doing just DK and Mario Kart
I wish the trailer would at least give a hint about what type of game this is anyway...a shooter? stealth? survival horror? This guys should be making movies if they care so little about actual gameplay
@Kaze_Memaryu Ive played a lot of this game when i was younger, like A LOT...and i dont remember all this bugs you say...this game was ugly but kinda adictive, especially because there wasnt many games like it for the n64...it helped scratch my survival horror itch, even though its not one
@datamonkey Wii U problems are not about power...power is not third party doesnt come to nintendo, its because hardcore gamers have more then one console and buy theirs games on ps or xbox and that would remain like that even if the wii was just as powerfull...nintendos only hope is to offer something unique with its systens, but if this uniqueness fails to appeal, them we have the currently situation...and despite this article, nothing is set in stone so far. EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE if nintendo proves the value of the gamepad. Have we even seen anything yet? Have seen what epic franchiseslike zelda and metroid look like in HD? Have we seen miyamotos new ip?
Lets face it...its not coming to wii u anymore...this is just so they can say later: Well, things didnt turn out as we were hoping, so theres no point in release this game for the wii u anymore...
the article states that the problem is the low regularity with wich people use the game, not the game per se...moving your body is whats important and if you are disciplned and take the gaming sessions seriously, yes they help
@AdanVC they are seeking to create a great gamepad experience for more traditional players, instead of just casual...secondly, nintendoland is too "videogamish" or whatever, to have mass appeal like wii sports did...maybe they just need to release more wii sports modalities that use the gamepad in an important way...i dont know
@sleepinglion ehh...its anoying hear people talking about ds emulation on 3ds while the 3ds is fully backward compatible with all ds software...just getting tired of people forgeting that
im excited by this as i like to take care of my health and the prospect of doing so through game like activities is very inviting to me
I love how nintendo is so much more concerned with adult needs while the so called mature gamer is more interested in being the rambo of space, the rambo of medieval fantasy land, the rambo of the crime under world, or batman, whatever... (not that i dont like these games)
@justlink ive never had a ds, and im dying to play zelda phantom hourglass and spirit tracks on my wii u...actually, i wanna all zeldas to come to wii u eventually
Wow...lets hope wiiu's 2014 releases are better them this wishlist, otherwise this console is really screwed, and i will star calling it my little zelda u player :/
