I get the feeling if e shop games were included in this list we not be seeing a clean sweep for nintendo for me some the best games for the 3ds are on the e-shop
@Zeldamaster97 I agree it should have been on the wii u they maybe done the best they could with the 3ds but the controls were still very uncomfortable
Until we know more it is not worth getting exited or upset about it and I think nintendo will support the wii u with games next year as well after that I'm not so sure
I'm still not sure if I want to double dip with this as I still own the wii version and I was in the minority that thought the last story was the better game so I hope the game is a hit so we might also see the last story getting a 3ds release
@Tommeh @RadioShadow yeah the boo glow in the dark cover plate is cool I imported from Japan but the back case is very thin and makes an annoying creaking noise every time you use the 3ds I also got charged for import tax and had to pay to get it released from them what cost me an extra £20 ouch I would hold of from importing them
I remember this game for only one reason the pal version of the game having the worst black borders I've ever seen it has to be to this day the worst pal conversion ever
Anyone who can remember how bad and slow the firmware was at launch will appreciate the difference now but if they launched the wii u with the currant firmware they might have sold more consoles I remember trying to convince two friends to buy the wii u but once they seen how slow it was they lost all interest in it for some people it is the first impression that makes the lasting impression nintendo should have waited until it was in a more finished state before releasing the wii u
I'm looking forward to e3 this year not just for nintendo but sony and Microsoft as well with all consoles now out it is all about the games and all three have been quiet about games in development so this e3 should be good and hopefully nintendo will have a great line up and give the other two a run for there money
I don't mind dlc a month or so after release but day one no way am I buying the game I hate greed from game company's so nintendo won't be getting my money this time
I think nintendo need to get rid of the wii u there is no way any off the games released on it can be turning a profit with the well known cost of developing games in hd I think for the next few years they should focus on the 3ds while talking with 3rd party developers on what they want to see on nintedo's next home console like sony did with the ps1 and the ps4 maybe then they will get the 3rd support they need to survive in the home console market
@ledreppe I think at the time I started playing it I had to many games on the go and I was to distracted to focus on it properly that why when I finish bravely default I'll give it another go
Not surprised at the last of us winning best game but vita game tearaway winning the three big mobile game awards was a bit of a surprise as I could not get into it when I played it maybe I need to give it another go
I hope they never go multi format like sega as it would cost a fortune to be able to play all there games if they gave certain formats an exclusive game maybe Zelda for ps5 or Mario for Xbox that's why nintendo games for there own console will always be the best way to go for the fans of the company even if they sometimes get it wrong with the hardware like the wii u
@Tsuchinoko I think nearly all 3d games from that console generation have dated visually it was everyone's first go at creating 3d games and I can't think of one game that holds up visually now unlike 2d games from the snes that still look good
Yeah I have to agree with him I've had my wii u since day one and I still don't care for the gamepad whatever it costs to make would have been better spent on more power for the console and maybe the wii u would not be in the sorry state it is now
Both the n64 and playstation back then were all about 3d if it was in 2d the public did not want to know only the Saturn back then had a lot of 2d games
If nintendo want to get all the fans back they lost they have to get back to innovating with the games instead of the hardware I think they have got really lazy with the games on the wii u if you look back to the snes and n64 and how many great ideas they had when making the games compared to now you realize how little effort they have put in to making the games for the wii u with little or no innovation and offering nothing we have not seen many time before, donkey kong and 2d Mario play just the same as the snes games and offer not one new idea and a remake of wind waker they are not even trying to innovate or do something new like I said nintendos problem with the wii u is they have got lazy and stopped trying when making the games
The wii u will really be in trouble when even nintendo can't make a profit from the games then they will kill the console quick until then just enjoy the games that are out for it and leave the worrying about sales to nintendo
On another site they say the wii and wii u only got 7 percent of the sales with the xbox 360 and Xbox one getting 61 percent with little ps4 consoles available to buy Microsoft won this time
nintendo might have to wait a few months to see sales improve i can't see the wonderful 101 and a remake of wind waker making any difference to console sales they will sell well to wii u owners but i just can't see a boost in sales of the console
@mihimarcelo in scotland it seems here nobody bothers to keep there 3ds switched on when out and about so the only time i get streetpass hits is in game shops but even then not too often
i have had my wii u for about 7 months and i have still to see one game that sells the gamepad to me i just think nintendo got it all wrong with console i will keep it for the few first party games each year that i know i will enjoy but my main gaming will be on the ps4 unless nintendo stage an amazing comeback
