Yep it baffles me how people are okay with this and expect it to be patched in. Nintendo's whole online is still somwhat jankey and missing componets which have been a standard on other consoles and services for around 7-8 years now.
For all of the the gaming press hates nintendo I hear, I think nintendo fans give nintendo a ton of leeway when it comes to these thing. (One part ignorance/one part fanboy)
I always wondered why Level-5 never brought inazuma eleven to the US. Youth Soccer is really popular here and the sport is becoming more popular on the college and pro level.
Knd of wish you guys would have got Gaijin thoughts on the way Wiiware content is in a seperate shop away from the new eshop taking visability away from their old games which. Could still bring in users.
So there is going to be a new Wii U Virtual Console. Expected and I hope the rollout is fast.
HDDs used in the wii have to be formatted to not work with PCs and are only guarntted to work with the a Y style cable.
the nintendo network points can be used on the 3ds eshop. Meaning the 3ds will probably get a firmware update to have NN as well as NN is replacing club nintendo.
It should be noted in the article that on his twitter Patcher said he was impressed with the game launch and he expects it to do well throughout the launch window even with prssure against low priced tablets.
There is a difference between patchers personal opinion and what he puts out when he's representing wedbush.
All these guys expecting crazy reveals are going to be dissapointed. This is going to be about the launch and OS type stuff. Maybe a reveal for next year but not much.
Yet sony has the most diverse line up out of all of the big three. And microsofts xbla platform is really great and they have contents (imagne cup, and dream build play) to reward creative devs.
Really conflicted. While it is someone true from a branding perspective I'm kind of bored with non stop mario related titles.
I was under the impression that MMOs costa ton of money no matter how the graphical level was. That and the mmo has been worked on since before amaular I didn't count it. From my understanding if they would have shuttered the mmo and sped on with amular 2 they would have surived.
Eh kind of sad but nintendo power failed to stay relevant by having a digital presences in magazine or website form. Videogames especially have this problem if you aren't a feature heavy publication like edge or game informer.
personally all the magazines I read are digital even the ones that would benefit more from print like GQ or details. Only get two magazines in print still and would grab the odd np issue when it had a cool cover story.
Would have been cool if nintendo would have took over the magazine and had made it similar to the touchpad pivot magazine.
Microzft didn't go either. It kind of makes sense. Nintendo is going to have its own deal next month for wii u and microsft has nothing g to announce that isn't next gen.
While I love metroidvaina the series def needed a rest from the formula after all the Iga games. In the meanwhile there are a ton of other metroidvaina ln other consoles.

Re: Nintendo Network IDs Are Tied To A Single Wii U Console, For Now
@TheDreamingHawk
Guess what the xbox 360 could do all of this the day it came out. Why can't nintendo figure the simplest stuff out.
Also the giantbomb guys contacted nintendo and nintendo customer service didn't have a solution at all.
Re: Talking Point: The Wii U eShop Could be a Developer's Dream
I like the sound of nintendo the indie king.
Also fez is an amazing game, but I'll. Never buy a phil fish game again.

Re: Nintendo Network IDs Are Tied To A Single Wii U Console, For Now
How can this be okay with you guys? In 2012 this shouldn't even be an issue.

Re: Rayman Legends Demo Available In Wii U eShop On Launch
A good way to get hype for this game started, without it getting crushed by mario at launch.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. U To Jump Into DLC
I wonder if were going to see some new worlds as well.
Re: Developer Interview: Gaijin Games Gets Drunk with Wii U Power
Famicom mode is looking cool.

Downloaded. Have the first Harmony of a hunter and its awesome.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Live Streaming Confirmed, But Not on Wii U
Not a feature I would use a lot but its dissapointing its not their.
Also Cod isn't stale. If it weren't we wouldn't have ton of games copying its forumla and trying to gain its praise.
Let's be honest in the console market their are really only two big shooters which are COD and Halo. We could probably add killzone as well.
Re: Developer Interview: Frozenbyte Talks Trine 2, Wii U eShop and Working with Nintendo
Sounds good.
though im not sure devs not seeing the eshop yet is a good thing.

Grabbing the Denpamen demo.
Re: Unsure About Wii U's Online Capabilities? Don't Worry, So Are Some Developers
This coupled with the fact that none of nintendo's first party games have a P2P online componet worries me.
Re: Forza Motorsport Was Originally Inspired By Pokémon
@Chris720
So were just going to ignore the fact that mi rosoft and Sony are in more than one market.
And one would argue that nintendo wouldn't be here without atari
Re: You'll Be Able To Play Darksiders II Entirely On The Wii U GamePad
Was hoping for a port of the first game. Guess I'll grab it on 360.
Re: Want To Guess Which Nintendo Racer Inspired WipEout?
Dear lord some of these comments are stupid.
Re: Talking Point: Are Wii U Games Going To Be Too Expensive?
Deoends on the game and quality of the software as a whole.
I don't buy a game on just graphics, though I may salivate at the newest bullshots and tech demos.
Re: Reaction: Wii U Preview Events
@Slapshot
I those rumors are FUD. The game is being published by Nintendo, Just like Mass Effect not being on any other consoles i'm not expecting much here.
Re: Reaction: Wii U Preview Events
Great write up. The Nintendo events have gotten me excited for the Wii U and even pondering getting one around launch.
Re: Pachter: Expect a Wii U Price Cut Next Year

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii U Details And Screens Bounce Into View

Re: Rodney Greenblat: Nintendo Works on Creativity and Originality in Games "24/7"
Yet sony has the most diverse line up out of all of the big three. And microsofts xbla platform is really great and they have contents (imagne cup, and dream build play) to reward creative devs.
Really conflicted. While it is someone true from a branding perspective I'm kind of bored with non stop mario related titles.
Re: Resident Evil Director Wants To Make a Monster Hunter Flick
Well the resident evil movies are fun and stupidly popular. I'd be down for it.
Re: Talking Point: Wii U and the Next Generation of Consoles
@slapshot
I was under the impression that MMOs costa ton of money no matter how the graphical level was. That and the mmo has been worked on since before amaular I didn't count it. From my understanding if they would have shuttered the mmo and sped on with amular 2 they would have surived.
Re: Talking Point: Wii U and the Next Generation of Consoles
I was raised to believe that next gen didn't star till Sony said so.
Also that list isn't really accurate as many of those studios on the list like 38 didn't close because of expensive bugets but bad mangement.

Re: Nintendo Power Magazine Will End With December Issue
Eh kind of sad but nintendo power failed to stay relevant by having a digital presences in magazine or website form. Videogames especially have this problem if you aren't a feature heavy publication like edge or game informer.
personally all the magazines I read are digital even the ones that would benefit more from print like GQ or details. Only get two magazines in print still and would grab the odd np issue when it had a cool cover story.

Re: Talking Point: Why is Nintendo Not at Gamescom?
Microzft didn't go either. It kind of makes sense. Nintendo is going to have its own deal next month for wii u and microsft has nothing g to announce that isn't next gen.
Re: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Spooked Into 2013 For North America
Wonder if the delay is due to throw Luigi mansion game in nintendo land. Good to see unchianed blades hitting next month hopefully.
Re: Konami Admits That Castlevania Mirror of Fate Isn't Metroidvania, But It's Going To Be Close
