Wii

Cut content from Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS. Coming from Source Gaming... Rock Pikmin were planned but ultimately put on hold. It’s unknown if development had begun on these Pikmin, but they likely would have been added had there been more time. Rock Pikmin would have been heavy with short reach but high attack power. Co-op play was planned for Smash Run, but the 3DS’s processor was unable to display multiple fighters on the same screen, so the mode was dropped. Co-op power-ups for Smash Run were also scrapped alongside co-op play. Sakurai initially considered including four versions of each Special. One slide displays Mario launching a double fireball, a feature not present in the retail version. He also considered adding special rules to 4-on-4 Team Battles, similar to the multiplayer mode in Kid Icarus: Uprising, Light vs. Dark, but no such features were implemented. Mii Fighters’ Specials were originally going to be included as in-game rewards (much like other characters’ Custom Specials), but they ended up as default content. http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/07/03/cutsmash4/

Another couple of hours at least, it could easily be four hours. Must check the Daily Log and I got it on the second last game before the changeover.

It changes to Splat zones.

A shooter every alternating 4 hours.

I remember Miyamoto ta'king about playing console games without a TV years and years ago. Back around the time of the Gamecube. Can I find that article? I'll see.

I understand what you mean even though I'm not a big fan of steak. That's not a euphemism, I really don't care for steak.

Shouldn't really be posting this but whatever. Weavile, Charizard revealed for Pokken Tournament Pokkén Tournament - Weavile Revealed! Pokkén Tournament - Charizard Revealed!

Overall, I'd probably pick Black Ops II as well if it had a stronger online community though that's not the games fault. Splatoon is great fun and hugely different from other games but there's a lot of frustration with it too.

Very good. I was hoping someone would recognise the reference.

Smash Bros. Wii U version 1.0.9 is now available. http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13305/~/how-to-update-super-smash-bros.-for-wii-u

Well F#CK that! No word of a lie, it took me 2 hours to get from C to C+ on Tower Control. Absolute nightmare, I felt like smashing up the room. Kept getting up to 95 then -10, -10, +15, -10, -10, -10 and on and on and on. The scoring system is a b1tch. Don't want to see this game again for a bit after that. I don't care what anybody says the controls are horrendous. It's fine playing normal games but trying to finesse a breeze block for accuracy is annoying. And in tight situations the camera is awful. It's right up in your face and you've no idea what's going on.

I'd imagine every 4 hours. It's been on for the whole day just because it's new and to give everybody a chance to get used to it but it'll probably start changing at 3a.m., the time it was unlocked at.

Oh yeah, Starfox. Super Mario Maker is the start of September, that'll be great. Fatal Frame should be good, it doesn't have a release date though you'd imagine Halloween. Mario Tennis and Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival are turd sandwiches. Starfox could have been good but it's rushed, looks fugly, generic, lacks online, dual controls are a forced necessity and not comfortable. If they turn it around I'll be impressed but some things won't change like leaving out online. Oh and Toad was out everywhere else for Christmas including the early release in the UK and a few other spots in Europe even though it was officially January 2nd.

What are Nintendo going to have as their Christmas title this year? Xenoblade Chronicles X? That's alright for me but it's not going to wash with the masses. Last year we had Smash Bros. Wii U and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Or even Halloween? Again there was Bayonetta 1&2. Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash? God help us if that's their plan for Christmas.

Saltspray Rig in Tower Control is $h1t. It can be over in about 20-25 seconds. I died once at the start and it was over before I even respawned. It's as bad as a Battle Mode track in Mario Kart 8. Kelp Dome though is very good. There's lots going on in that level.

Tower Control is good fun. It's a nice change to the usual Turf Wars. It's just a shame about the rotation setup.

I didn't realise Tower Control and Splat Zones were done in rotation. That's pants. Maybe there's hardly enough people playing ranked mode as is that a split would make it harder to find a match. So if you want to play one or the other mode, you might have to wait 4 hours? You've got to seriously question Nintendo's logic at times.

Why was Genei Ibun Roku X FE(Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem) shown so? That has a vague 2016 date and I can say with near certainty that by this date next year it still won't have been released in the West. Projects Humpty and Dumpty demonstrated nothing good and they did not convey the appeal of the hardware. They were a failure and rightfully weren't shown again this year. 3rd parties? Don't get me started. I could pick holes right throughout that piece but can't be @rsed(those 3 quotes aren't even halfway through). Everyone knows it's lies. We've had this information from the AGM already and it's just begging to kick a hornet's nest again. But I'm out.

Tower Control is now live.

Splatoon Yoshi's Woolly World NFS: Most Wanted Lego City Undercover Rayman Legends Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Splinter Cell : Blacklist ZombiU Mario Kart 8 Darksiders II Scribblenauts Unlimited Assassin's Creed IV Smash Bros. Wii U Injustice Resident Evil: Revelations Hyrule Warriors The Wonderful 101 SM3DW Yes Mass Effect 3 and Deus Ex are definitely worth the experience. Not the full series was ported onto the Wii. There was as far as I remember, REmake, RE 0 and RE 4. Mario Tennis was also turned into a New Play Control game but avoid it because the controls were gimped to accommodate the Wii remote. If they'd tried harder and had Wii remote plus at the time it could have been better. Metroid Prime Trilogy would be a New Play Control game. There's loads of great Wii games to pick up. If you want recommendations, just ask.

We have an early contender for the "most stupid comment of the month" award. http://gonintendo.com/stories/237524-nintendo-explains-why-they-don-t-release-games-in-the-summer
