Re: Feature: The Key Details on Splatoon, Nintendo's Shot at a New Wii U Hit

I suspect this is what "project treasure" will be like. I think I see what Nintendo is doing with trying to build these communities in this way. More than just being an online game it's got real schedules associated to it as something embedded into the game (i.e., certain levels are playable during specific times, splashfest etc.) I like the idea but I'm not sure generation, "When I want it" is going to take to it.

I would like to see more customization similar to Smash. I.e., Change how many laps per race, timed races, battle modes where you can actually cut across the center; meaning real battle modes. I would also like the idea that has certain characters having exclusive access to certain items so who you choose changes the game play. BTW, can we all just agree that when it's Day one of a new DLC pack we by and large choose those tracks to play on. Always a few hold outs and as a result I've played baby park once online since release!

Finally, and maybe most importantly, game invites for online!

@Hotfusion Voice chat is also not the most important thing for me (although having it with friends seems to be something that should be an option). The bigger problem is getting a game started with friends is going to be a challenge. I know this because it's been a challenge for MK8 and Smash. No in game invites, no way to send a message while in the game (i.e., Nice, you just got on, let's get a game started). You can't do that without going to the "friends" app and hoping that it'll be read. It's really a horrible approach. This is not windows 95 where Multitasking hasn't been implemented yet. This game is focused on being an online game but I'm willing to guess that they are going to miss very important online "features" like invites

Based on what I know of the game it's probably not worth the full price of games these days. I'll probably be really frustrated trying to get games started with friends just like Mario Kart and Smash (No Invites, no voice, no in game messages etc.). All that being said, I'll probably get it anyways, I haven't really gotten a new game in some time and since this is the only option for a few months....there you have it

There may be much more to the game that Nintendo hasn't revealed yet so my opinion could very well change

Re: Video: Greatness Awaits In This New Project CARS Trailer

I doubt I'll pick this up but I'm also skeptical that this will be released for the Wii U. These games shouldn't get any attention on Nintendo sites until they have a wii u specific trailer or wii u gameplay. Period. Otherwise, they're just getting free advertisement for other systems for a game that will probably never see the light of day on the wii u. Same thing with Fast Racing incidentally

I guess I just don't get the difficulty in putting more Wii games on the eshop. It's basically a pointer to the wii virtual console that's already built into the system. It would be nice if they could put up the original Xenoblade, Skyword Sword, Other M and a bunch of other wii games I didn't know about until recently. The problem is they come out with new Virtual Console (wii, N64, DS), they support it for a month and then you don't hear from them again
