Wii

I've not only heard rumblings, I've seen them too.

Here's this weeks Japanese software and hardware sales. [PS4] Final Fantasy Type-0 HD (Square Enix, 03/19/15) – 92,094 (New) [PS3] Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Capcom, 03/19/15) – 73,373 (New) [PS4] Battlefield: Hardline (EA, 03/19/15) – 68,823 (New) [PS4] Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Capcom, 03/19/15) – 42,358 (New) [PSV] Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition (SCE, 03/19/15) – 36,151 (New) [PS3] Yakuza 0 (Sega, 03/12/15) – 29,568 (175,390) [PS3] Battlefield: Hardline (EA, 03/19/15) – 28,976 (New) [PSV] Phantasy Star Online 2: Episode 3 Deluxe Package (Sega, 03/19/15) – 26,289 (New) [Wii U] Mario Party 10 (Nintendo, 03/12/15) – 21,433 (71,645) [3DS] PriPara & Pretty Rhythm: PriPara de Tsukaeru Oshare Item 1450!

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars had a crap debut, can only imagine the Wii U numbers. Still annoyed that Resident Evil Revelations 2 isn't coming to the Wii U. What are Nintendo doing? Put a Nintendo Direct to at least to drum up some interest.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D - Launch Trailer (New Nintendo 3DS) The video does warn at the start that it contains what may be considered spoilers. Reviews are now starting to appear as well. Here's the first few so far. GamesRadar – 4.5 / 5 GameSpot – 8 / 10 Nintendo Life – 9 / 10 Gamereactor UK – 9 / 10

Got my response this morning. I only gave out about the lack of voice chat, everything else looks good. Not a great response as I expected but then it was customer support from the nintendo.co.uk website. Where would be the best place to send an e-mail?

That's some "achievement" alright. It's the pinnacle of being an expert gamer.

No funerals I bet are his forte.

It's about doable. At least it's not like a Dallas wait and Gillian looks alright still. Put it this way, I wouldn't say no. A bit wary, they'll do do it for the pay deal but will it be as good or cared about this time around?

I'm not being literal, relax. : peace: Just showing my disapproval of your comment. Your opinion is as valid as mine though I clearly don't agree. You're hardly a new member, joined in 2011 and are settled in. Why should we use external means when the answer is right there in front of us?

So now it's our fault that we've inconvenienced Nintendo by somehow presuming we could have online voice chat in their own game, on their own console. My sincerest apologies, what were we thinking? Maybe I should buy a PS4 to play Zelda when it comes out as well? Don't want to unnecessarily burn out that disc drive and I'll use an XBOX1 controller to save on wear and tear of the gamepad. You're clearly lost. Here, let me help you.

MARIO PARTY 10 (Honest Game Trailers) Absolutely f***ing hilarious. QFT.

Removed. Won't be appreciated or seen as much here. I'll put it in general discussion

I also think if players were sent off in the 90 minutes that if it goes to extra time that teams should be restored to the full compliment of 11. Though it does create a problem of teams taking advantage of it towards the end of the game.

@kav82 Leave it or you'll end up being pestered every day like I was. It's best to just ignore the thing.

Wouldn't it be mad if Nintendo announce in the next Direct that there's party chat coming to Wii U via a new downloadable patch? Highly unlikely but one can dream? Strange that Splatoon no voice chat at all whereas Smash Bros. and MK8 at least let you chat with friends in the lobby. I thought the idea is to be progressive not regressive.

Someone posted yesterday about voice chat in Nintendo console games. I think there was 2 games. Animal Crossing being the first, can't remember the other.

That's clearly what I was referring to.

I didn't see any date or site so no I didn't know it was this. There's always so many stories of online shops revealing supposed release dates, it's hard to know if any of them are real. All I seen was: HERE

It's possible because before the Nintendo UK press site leak a Swiss website known as World of Games had it listed as June 26th. http://www.wog.ch/index.cfm/details/product/31402-Yoshis-Woolly-World

Could easily have been an error because it was quickly changed to 2015. They changed Splatoon from May 29th to just May and similarly Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition has changed from 8th May to just May as well.

That's harsh. If you read my response you'll know why I'm not buying it. Having to "find some cumbersome way to communicate" when there's a perfectly good way to do so on the console, now that's knobbish as you'd put it. Nintendo are so slow to get with the programme, CD's, online, HD, all things Nintendo resisted against but got there eventually. Do we need to give them another decade before they realise voice chat is the norm?

That's a huge part of it for me. Nintendo need to get with the times. Nintendo don't care what we think as long as they get our money. I'm making a stand this time, they'll listen if people don't buy it. I sent an e-mail to Nintendo after MK8 released and didn't get a proper response and sent an e-mail this morning and expect the same response. They're too slow and I don't think they'll change until the old guard leaves or is forced out. This is developed by the young talent at Nintendo, they wanted voice chat but obviously were shot down by the dinosaurs.

You phrased the question weirdly. I voted yes but no I'm still not buying Splatoon. Voice chat is the reason. Only way they'll learn is by hitting them in the pocket. I let them get away with MK8 and Smash Bros. Wii U but not this time and this game more than the other 2 needs voice chat. I sent Nintendo an e-mail about it this morning which was probably a waste of time.

Nintendo don't mind inviting Playboy to their HQ for a game that'll have an age rating of 10+ but be damned if they'll let you talk to one another. There's a double standard right there. Nintendo always looking out for the children. http://www.playboy.com/videos/gamer-next-door-splatoon

I've posted videos from these guys before. Majora's Mask Double Helix Sword to be exact. If You haven't seen it before I suggest looking it upp. Anyway, they're back, this time with the Hylian Shield. Link's Hylian Shield (Legend of Zelda) - MAN AT ARMS: REFORGED
