Wii

Learn to read. Wii Music is $h1t. It's not even up for discussion. I have it and it's rancid. Miyamoto hasn't created a noteworthy franchise since Pikmin. Nintendogs was an evolution of existing sims. Wii Music review from Game Informer. 30% It's so bad it's been removed from their site, it was probably burning a hole in their servers. Here's a quote though. http://www.gameinformer.com/NR/exeres/4F0E78F8-D0CA-4791-8B07-424C988BF8CA.htm

Who said that "well if Kyle Bosman says that Miyamoto doesn't do much, then clearly he doesn't do much"? He did point out a few facts and it was funny. I'm glad you mentioned Wii Music. An abomination. Pikmin was his last great creation. That's back circa 2000. Yes Nintendogs was hugely successful but was it truely original? As a pet sim perhaps but not really original.

Did you see the latest The Final Bosman episode? He doesn't seem to do a whole lot these days. He's fluttering around making crap like Project Robot/Guard, making Pikmin short movies, fiddling with Starfox and upends a few tea tables now and again. He won't let us have a new F-Zero yet greenlights other rubbish. I guarantee if he had created F-Zero we wouldn't be waiting on a new F-Zero and he'd care more and put some effort into it. I hadn't realised but in that episode of The Final Bosman it was said that he hasn't directed a game since OOT. I know he has other roles but still. He's like a once great artist that has lost his way, is untouchable and wanders around the Nintendo HQ living off past glories.

Good God I hope it doesn't happen. What is wrong with Miyamoto these days?

If it's episodic then I don't want to know about it. Why would Starfox be episodic? It's not suited to this method, just release a full game, I think this episodic rumour grew out of people not believing it could be out before the end of this year but if they went this route then it would be possible.

I believe they didn't try their best with Skyward Sword because they probably thought why bother. The Wii is practically dead and it requires you to buy motion plus. That's why I kind of hope and believe it'll come to NX as well because it'll give Nintendo hope of getting good sales which probably wouldn't be that good on Wii U alone. Twilight Princess has the greatest sales of any Zelda game and that's partly because it released alongside the launch of the Wii. Edit: My bad, I think OOT is still number 1, I'll find a chart.

This weeks UK sales charts. Mario Party 10 though down on last week which was to be expected has done reasonably well to stay that high. Shame it's the only Wii U game, especially because other quality Wii U games are far more deserving of success.

It came out in the States and Japan, but definitely didn't have a retail release here in Europe, yet. If Sonic All Star Racing Transformed could do it and that was a launch game then why not MK8?

I agree, most N64 games have not aged well at all. The NES and a lot of the N64(3D games)games I've no desire to ever play again which is a shame because there were a lot of games I loved on them. They're too ugly. The SNES has aged well.

It's a new weapon that is “easy to handle even for beginners” with low ink consumption. [TWEET]582463287712858112[/TWEET] [TWEET]582465319584690176[/TWEET]

eShop releases this morning and all last weeks news says a Direct is happening. Not this phony insider knowledge crap that others spout.

It's all believeable. There's nothing outrageous. Regarding MK8. That would be a real nice addition.

It hasn't been released in Europe and this is a European leak supposedly. I would also add that this weeks eShop releases which were just announced this morning would lend credence to this rumour.

This weeks Nintendo eShop downloads for the 3DS.

An almighty crash heralded the sudden arrival of the Bionis and the Mechonis to this world, for the two titans were locked in a timeless battle. Once the dust had settled, only their corpses remained. Now, the Bionis' enormous body, covered in lush plains, is home to a developed civilisation, the Homs. But life on Bionis was not destined to flourish forever. One day, a horde of mechanical life forms from the Mechonis launched an all-out attack on the inhabitants of Bionis. The Homs' only remaining hope is a legendary sword, Monado, said to be a gift from the titan itself. Unfortunately, whosoever wields the sword must endure a great toll on their body...

The controls were fine I liked them apart from the never ending recalibration. It's about the only redeeming feature in the game. So much wrong with it. Empty sky brutal mini games forgettable music Fi disjointed world dowsing repeated boss battles crappy harp that you didn't play(wave left, wave right) only one real village 30 second end boss was so easy the awful gratitude crystals sidequests with the lamest rewards for all that effort(a giant wallet, seriously wtf) the rehashing of areas for the silent realm actually rehashing in general throughout the game no fishing the constant non skipping of text bubbles(you've collected a tumbleweed for the 1,000th time, ya thanks for telling me) poor leveling up mechanism of items It goes on and on.

Live performances of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D’s music It's so good. You could listen to it all day and you just want more and more.

Let's hope for something good later today. Last week was poor again. Though I did download Zen Pinball 2: South Park Pinball. It's really good, the South Park table more so than the Butter's table. Trine Enchanted Edition is good though reviews are somewhat mixed and I'll wait for a sale. I wonder will it offer any hints of a Direct this week? This weeks Nintendo eShop offers for the Wii U. Special offers Gravity Badgers (Wales Interactive) - €2.49/£2.49 (Ends April 29, regular price €4.99/£4.99) Citizens of Earth (Atlus) - €7.99/£6.69 (Ends April 9, normally €11.99/£9.99) Incoming Direct most probably.

Discussion - Predicting Mario Kart 8's May DLC

Of course it annoys and frustrates me because I don't want another Skyward Sword. Thankfully it didn't sell as well as Twilight Princess so hopefully they don't copy the Skyward Sword template and it appears they're not. We've got a proper world to explore for starters. A mix of Twilght Princess and Majora's Mask would be nice.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious that it's my opinion.

Anything would be better than Skyward Sword. It both annoys and frustrates me when people say they liked it. Its many, many faults are so glaring. I absolutely hated it and I love Zelda games more than anything.
