@Gerbwmu yeah I am going to say it is a step above Undercover which was the best lego game until now. The offscreen co-op alone is worth it.
I am hoping with marvel hitting the eshop finally we can start getting dlc access, which we all know are really just on disc unlocks of characters but I do not care, I want Dark Phoenix
@NINTENBOY Um, like Zero Dollars and stuff, this is a Sega game, paid for by Sega, to be published on the Wii U by Sega, in fact Nintendo makes money on every copy sold.
I am interested, I don't fund any thing like this, but I will probably buy it. The games will be episodic, so hopefully we get 5-6 hours if not more for each episode. I have been following the funding though and the game is going to get a lot of animation and graphical touch updgrades. So happy about that.
I love the cross of limbo and metroid. I showed my wife the initial video on ks and she was very interested.
Part of the problems is that there is no explanation from SE. And yes to get max value out of this new version on the other systems you need a tablet or vita. However it is disappointing because it is a hard sale to rationalize. I could understand a $10 up charge, but I wouldn't be happy about it. One thing I would like to is if this is something NOA related. Especially with the eshop release.
@ikki5 you may have a point if there was day one dlc, and some times this crap is on the disc, but this isn't a rip off. You don't seem to understand what that term means.
The dlc is being developed now post development of the main title, the original game has been done and in qa and mastering process now.
Look I am not saying I am a fan of the pratice but you are over reacting.
Would you say Skyrim or Fallout 3 are bad values because of all the dlc that came out later? Do not think that a lot of the dlc was developed concurrently with the main game and even after regular development had ended? I mean you have to realize that all of this stuff in ancillory, extra, on top of the main game. It isn't needed to enjoy the full experience, so no, you aren't getting scammed, gipped or ripped off, you can play this complete game, never play the dlc and get a full experience and story.
@ikki5 the argument that you are getting half a game is really a paper tiger and a falsehood. Seriously, you are getting a fully featured and functional title 99 percent of the time, there are always exceptions.
Instead of now getting expansions they are building the games with interesting little side things that add to the game if you want them.
There will be no impact on the main game if you don't get the dlc, and this is the case for 99percent of dlc. It is just the changing dynamic of gaming. I find it laughable that you think this dlc or any dlc represents half of a game.
This is very poor reporting. No Seasons Pass does not equal No DLC. You shouldn't report supposittion as fact.
I don't even care about the dlc for this game.
On top of that there is DLC coming as preorder bonus, and other Ubisoft titles have had DLC support. To be honest you should have just said no seasons pass, and we are waiting on word from Ubisoft to make sure the DLC is coming instead of assuming, which you know how that usually ends.
Just thought I would add, as I didn't see it skimming through the comments, but at least in the states, you get a $10 credit on top of the $50 price tag on Amazon. I may jump on it now...
All of the gear is the preorder bonus stuff that was exclusive to different stores. The maps are interesting because Dead Coast was already a co-op mission, so is this a new mission on the same map? I noticed that mission didn't go away after I finished it which was odd.
I hate on disk dlc, but all you can do is not buy it.
Just wanted to comment that Madden 25 isn't really driving software sales boost, as the 1million sold week one this year is actually down over a half million versus last year at the same time frame.
Also, many people bought the Madden 25 anniversary editon on Amazon for the included DirecTv sunday ticket. What makes it notable is that best buy stopped accepting trade ins on the title last week. The correlation being that many people bought the game for Sunday Ticket and sold the game or traded in immediately for the 45 at BB. I would like to see if Gamestop saw a large influx of trades too.
Pretty sure that was PS3 footage from earlier this year, looks like something I will greatly enjoy, glad that Ubisoft is here to give me something a little extra on my wiiU
If you guys want the SF games on the WiiU then buy the VC games next week, that is about the only way you can show Capcom that there is an audience. All three SNES games come next week, pick your poison.
Oh, and since it requires no real licensing, Little Nemo in Dream World needs a remaster too.
Dear Capcom, when I was 9-10ish, I loved your NES games, please don't eff this up, and just give them the love treatment and make them look and run up to todays standards and I will buy them. Sincerely, me.
We need a new Pokemon TCG on a console or hand held. I would probably be willing to play it on the WiiU and pay for DLC additional cards like a sucker. Or even if they ripped Wizards of the Coast off and did a Duels of the Planeswalkers for Pokemon.
"Devs take online play out of Wii U titles because they don't want to pay server space for a game that won't make money because nobody will buy it because it doesn't have online play. Does that answer your questions?"
And See Above.
Also, it is the chicken and the egg scenario. If you want online MP, or you think you should pay less for a title missing a feature. Email the Dev/Publisher, hit up their twitter and hit up their Facebook. Don't just sit here on a web forum and cry that you won't buy a game because it is missing one feature that you probably would never use.
If no one buys the games on the system, missing features or not, no games will come eventually. So if you are really interested in this game for the Wii U, or say Batman, or Splinter Cell, but want to stand on some silly principle that you aren't paying for a game with "missing" features for the Wii, get bent. This is a hobby, something you do for enjoyment. You only deprive yourself of that enjoyment. Buying the game doesn't send the message that you are willing to buy "gimped" games, it sends the message that their is an audience for their content here. Then go back and bombard the devs/Pubs on social media and ask why you didn't get X feature. Show them that you supported them, and ask for it back. Is this too hard to see/ask?
having watched several trailers I am stoked for this game, and mainly this version due to the gamepad support. Shame it won't sell enough, but this is a perfect example of how the gamepad can expand game play.
@SyntheticPerson They are a spanish company and that is a spanish crowd funding site. Agree that Kickstarter would be more universal, but I can't blame them for choosing something more native to them.
I want a demo first, and will probably wait until september, but as long as there are no technical issues and this is solid splinter cell, I will get this. I need to see more about mp because that is truly where SC shines. It is a shame that this version won't sell, and a lot of that can be attributed to Nintendo and Ubisoft failure to show off or push this.

Re: Capcom Reiterates Stance On Further Disney Remastering
Don't forget about Tailspin and Darkwing from the TG-16 they need remakes so others can enjoy them.
I bought Ducktales to do my part. Odd thing is, when I play it, it locks up a lot, when the wife plays it, no issues.

Re: Interview: Ubisoft On Splinter Cell Blacklist, Taking the Series Forward and Wii U Features
Finally found one video from May on one random site that showed 2 player split screen.
Still getting the game. If split screen shows up later fine, otherwise not a deal breaker.
I think a lot of people are making a mountain out of a molehill, and are clearly devaluing other things this version has that others do not.
I will concede however, that with the gamepad, it makes a ton of sense to add offline co-op at some point.
