"How Nintendo is reinventing the multiplayer shooter." I call the lack of voice chat a regression not a reinvention. Something that's been around since the original XBOX and is a standard feature on every other modern online shooter. I guess you could technically call it a "reinvention". So Dr. Mario is supposedly compatible with this game. What's he going to do? Diagnose and cure a bad case of laryngitis? http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/detail/aTkh7avfSbKaitAxdGQAen_mmE8vDspA

Level-5 CEO interested in bringing Layton 7 to the Wii U.

I don't think they have either. The gall of some people. They've never made a game on a Nintendo platform and yet want us to vote for them. Fat chance.

This game has long been rumoured to be coming to the Wii U. It's now been listed and rated by the USK so a release date shouldn't be too far off being announced. It's also coming to the 3DS. http://www.usk.de/titelsuche/aktuell-geprueft/ Terraria Official Trailer

This weeks UK sales charts.

The vast majority of these Youtubers don't put up the whole game online. Who in their right mind watches a video game being completed from start to finish anyway? That's just sad and not what video games are for. I feel like it's free publicity for Nintendo. Nintendo won't pay for advertising but actively go about penalising those that do advertise their wares.

I agree @Rummy I didn't find it difficult. The only difficult bit was beating the super bosses, I don't think I beat many if any and that's an optional extra.

Bad publicity is bad publicity. It's gone 76 pages deep over on gaf: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1023292 He has 2 million subscribers and whatever else viewers. It's a good thing Nintendo are in such a healthy position to take this attitude...oh wait... And we're not talking about putting the whole video game online. Nintendo often put out videos to get the publics attention. Youtubers help their cause by spreading the word and get hit for copyright claims. Why bother? There's plenty of other companies out there that are grateful for the attention so it's only going to be damaging for Nintendo.

This weeks Wii U eShop downloads. Affordable Space Adventures, KnapNok Games – £16.99 (€18.99) Affordable Space Adventures is a stealth puzzle spaceship simulator. Control your craft solo or in a crew of up to three players. The Wii U GamePad, acting as your Heads Down Display, gives you precise control over all the internal systems of the ship. You can tweak the thrusters, antigravity, stabiliser, decelerator and many more spaceship systems in order to successfully navigate a hostile planet and sneak past alien robots. You still deserve a robust and fail-safe spaceship while exploring space on a budget; so watch the heat gauges, engine stress and output meters in order to safely control your vessel. Explosions, engine shutdowns, blown fuses and implosions may still occur. In co-op mode, players must coordinate as a crew controlling the spaceship together; one will take the role of engineer, while another will be the pilot. A science officer can join the fun as well, taking control of the scanner, shooting flares and moving the flashlight on the ship. Experience the thrilling, spooky and beautiful world crafted and designed in collaboration with Swedish indie game developer “Nifflas”. There are two difficulty levels, Technical and Tourist, and you can play with your friends and control the ship together, or take on the challenge alone. A game that truly utilises the potential of the Wii U GamePad. Guac’ a Mole, Madskull Creations – £3.19 (€3.50) Enjoy a beautifully hand-drawn visual style and retro-styled soundtrack. Protect a doomed planet from meteor attacks from above and mutant assaults from within by rotating the planet itself to survive and gain a high score. We really are spoilt. Another week of release after release. How does one cope with this avalanche of games?

Final Nintendo Angry Rant! - Anti-Youtuber Policies "This is the final Nintendo Angry Rant and the Final Nintendo Video on this channel. Tired of these guys claiming our videos as their own. While other companies are understanding how valuable the youtube gaming community is, Nintendo only see's free labor and dollar signs. Because of that attitude, I wont be covering Mario Kart, Mario Party, Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid and whatever 17th version of the same game Nintendo wants people to talk about on youtube until they pull their heads out of their asses and stop claiming videos. Nintendo thinks they need control of your content through their rev share program which takes 40% of your earnings ON TOP of what youtube takes (50%?) AND on top of what your managed channel network takes (20%-40%?). And obviously with their approval and permission. Geezuz guys. Really? The pennies on the dollar they would earn from our vids is so important to them, they DONT GIVE a shit about what gamers think, they dont GIVE a SHIT what youtubers think or if its bad PR for them. I can guarentee you Nintendo of American has tried explaining this to them and they sat their in their office like, "NOPE. FUCK EM'." Thats how awesome Nintendo Japan is. Where as other indie companies would KILL for a let play or hell even big companies like blizzard just love to see their games get exposure on twitch, on youtube, anywhere! NO Nintendo says fuck you give me money if others watch you play our games. No Thanks." Good job Nintendo.

Yes you should keep playing it. It's not dog ugly, you've got to remember it's the Wii you're playing on. It's a good looking game for a limited system. The character models may be a little dodgy but the scope of everything else is breathtaking. Do you like RPG's in general? If you've played Secret Of Mana, Tales Of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos, even Paper Mario over the years then you should like this. Give it some more time. It's an absolutely brilliant game that has got so much praise for good reason and one of the best games I've ever played. The voice acting is fine as well.

I'm sure it hasn't escaped other peoples attention that whenever you quote me it's always followed by a silly tantrum filled childish rant. How ironic. I will be buying this game day one regardless. We don't know what their plans are for the West. If, however, the DLC is complete but deliberately held back for purchase at a later date then that is valid grounds for a complaint. Please don't bother responding as I'm not interested. Latest translated Tweet from Kojima. http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=159018418&postcount=1976 Don't forget the Nintendo Direct this Friday at 2p.m. It'll focus on Dolls.

We already knew that. I'm going to tell you something we didn't know though and it's disappointing. Give me a minute. [TWEET]585028003870048256[/TWEET] Xenoblade Chronicles X features paid DLC in Japan at least. It better be included for free when the game arrives in the West.
