  1. I was planning to get this on 3DS at some point but ill just pick up the WiiU edition instead, i have to imagine after the Wii edition of Resident Evil 4 there is some pressure on them adding motion controls, they have to at least have a template to work with from that game. I hope they add in stereoscopic 3d too, so far the only WiiU game to have it is ACIII, would love to see it in this game too.

  2. I really enjoyed the openess and Iwatas usual humble way of presenting, it does make the videoes he makes take on a more personal tone and i just couldnt see Microsoft or Sony pull something like that off. I do like when Nintendo keeps some games hidden and revelase them suddenly at random events but i do think its important for them to present a broad selection of games to customers to keep them excited and to entice new fans in. Regardless of this being forced or not, we had a lot of great announcements, most of them expected but still great to hear them confirmed.

     

    The only thing that still irks me about Nintendo is that they dont have a universal games store, i would like to be able to buy the SNES version of Super mario world and be able to play that one title accross both 3DS and WiiU, even if it was a quid or two more expensive to have a universal version of the game. We need a universal platform and it would be nice though not essential to have some sort of cloud saving or save transfer between them, if Nintendo announce that id be overjoyed.

     

    As it stands i have plenty of games from launch to play, i have lots to look forward to going forward and the prospect of a new Zelda and Mario game is enough to tide me through. Ill be very excited to see what E3 brings because lets face it, with the other two releasing new consoles this has to be a killer press event for them.

  3. Im really excited at the prospect of a brand new Zelda game, i hope they keep motion controls in as these where a great addition to the series and if they refined the control on WiiU that would be fantastic. Of course my favourite Zelda game of all time is Zelda 3, it seemed to be the biggest, fullest adventure Link ever went on and the world was full of interesting characters, if they can somehow bring that grand scale over to the WiiU with the motion controls intact we could have the best game ever made. Lets not forget too that apart from the main story beats, a lot of the content in Zelda 3 could be completed in any order or missed out completely.

  4. I can see some sort of Pokemon and Animal crossing cards coming out, possibly available through the stars catalogue. What would i like to see it being used for though? Bring out a mech game (Gundam/Armored core) and allow you to get exclusive parts using the cards. Or they could do what they did with F Zero GX in Japan and give you a card that you can scan with NFC to update your personal stats and then take that card to an arcade or another WiiU...

  5. Looks like Ubisoft finally released some dlc for the game too! Hope this means that Nintendo have worked out the kinks in their online so that all developers can distribute dlc to the WiiU versions of games at the same time as the 360 and PS3 versions.

  6. Just a quick tip too, when you launch Nintendoland and get the update thing pop up tell it no, it will then go download in the background instead and allow you to play the game straight away. Its not explained anywhere that you can do that but if did it so far for ZombiU, Mario bros, Sonic and Sega all stars and Black Ops 2. You wont be able to play online until the patch for each game has gone through but it does let you have a go on single player whilst you wait.

  7. I guess it will happen to us all one day, i dread the day when someone asks me if bought the new <insert device here> and i have no idea what they mean. My Dad used to be fairly tech savy and hes started doing that now, im hoping because i work in IT it will take longer.

     

    I guess thats a fair point, if people are genuinely being mislead reagardless of my feelings on it they are entitled to as much information as they require. I guess this sort of thing isnt really aimed at us anyway, we have usually been drooling over the specs and features months before the machines launch lol.

  8. being able to use the same save between both games is a huge draw for me, ill now be able to play on the move, at work and at home, make no mistake, this is huge!

     

    A note to newcomers, this is the kind of game that you will need to play for at least 2 hours before you know if you like it or not. Everything is deliberatly paced to make it a risk and reward combat system, learning to block and dodge successfully is just as important as learning the monsters attack patterns. You do have good company in the NE forum though so you shouldnt find yourself ever needing to fight on your own unless you want to.

  9. Throwing in my words of support for the ASA on this too. Even though it'll be disclaimered off, I think it's a poor show on their part.

     

    Strangely, I remember when game ads started featuring 'not actual ingame footage' and got confused as to WHY you'd not advertise WITH ingame footage - as a gamer that's what I want to see!

     

    They are probably hoping that even though they put the disclaimer in that you wont notice. I just think this who ASA thing is going way too far, in a world where you can pull up literally any bit of information on anything using a mobile phone browser i dont understand why people are still getting confused. Am i just giving the general public too much credit?

  10. There must be something... Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, The Last of Us, Beyond, Splinter Cell, God of War IV, Dead Space, DMC, MGS Rising, Remember Me, GTA V, Castlevania 2, Dark Souls 2, The Puppeteer, MGS V etc... :p

     

    ah okay, Castlevania and MGS Rising but the others that i want (Tomb Raider, Bioshock, Splinter Cell, Deadspace, dmc and Darksouls 2) are all PC bound too so ill just get them via Steam. I really hoped they would have announced Castlevania for the WiiU but it wasnt to be...for that matter i thought MGS would be ported too with it being made by Platinum but my hopes are dashed

  11. special edition or not i will buy it for the WiiU, i wont be buying games anymore for my 360, nor ps3.

     

    Im with you, im slowly letting my 360 and PS3 die in the corner whilst i buy the multiplatfrom games for WiiU. To be honest beyond Ni no Kuni and Gears Judgement there is nothing left for me on those machines, lots of good WiiU games coming though..

  12. I think the point here is that we're playing the 6th release in the modern COD series. These problems shouldn't be there in any FPS, but in one that is a yearly release it's unforgivable. It's a game where the competitive multi player is the key component, yet it's broken.

     

    But to add salt to the wound, things weren't always that way! In fact Wii gamers have been enjoying COD releases since 2008, and none of them had this stupid issue! In fact it's an all new 'addition' to the series.

     

    It makes you wonder, did they even play test it? I mean something like this would come up almost right away. Even if you couldn't identify what was wrong exactly, play testers would know something was 'off' as it just never felt 'right' to seasoned COD players.

     

    The other scary implication of this is exactly what environment are these 'professional' reviewers playing the game? Do they actually play test the game fully (as I did) or do they just get to go through it in a controlled environment at an event?

     

    I know a couple of reviewers and they end up doing one of two things, either they review it before the game lauches and only get to play it against a handfull of other reviewers online but meet the games release...or they wait until the game is out, review it properly with everyone on playing and the review goes out too late to be of any use. Im sure there are also some dishonest ones that take backhanders but i dont associate with them.

  13. ^^^^^ Its true.

     

    Huh no WU version afterall

     

    http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-01-15-injustice-gods-among-us-release-date-19th-april

     

    Update: Warner Bros. has issued a correction stating that Injustice will only be released on Xbox 360 and PS3, not on Wii U as originally announced.

     

    That aint good. Maybe they mean the Collectors edition.

     

    The game is indeed coming to WiiU but where as the Xbox and PS3 get nice special editions with tin boxes and statues of Batman, the WiiU only gets the standard edition. The games website and Warner Bros both have the WiiU listed as well as showing off the box art.

  14. Rare dont make games so much anymore, they seem to be totally focused on the Xbox Live avatars (they program everything and create the assets for new items/clothing) and games like Joyride. They had their studio pretty much cleaned out last year leaving no one of any significance there, all the people that made the Banjo Kazooies nuts and bolts and the Kameo and Perfect dark games are long gone.

     

    As for the IP, i doubt Microsoft are going to sell it to Nintendo, they just announced a new Killer Instinct title a few months ago so if anything id expect to see more X Box Live arcade releases of Rares other titles. Id rather see Retro make something new, a spiritual sequel to PD or failing that, a WiiU follow up to the DS game Metroid Prime Hunters.

  15. Disappointed by the lack of a reduction on this in the UK, I went and bought it anyway :)

     

    The Saturday morning cartoon look is better in person than I expected and in fact is very reminiscent of Wario Land Shake Dimension. The music is all subtly remixed too and sounds fantastic. Seeing the Wayforward logo burst forth in HD gave me goose pimples for what the future may hold.

     

    I'd love to see a Sonic game done in this visual style.. or Gunstar Heroes! :love:

     

    A new Gunstar Heroes in this style would blow my mind, they already did it on GBA, maybe Nintendo can do a deal, get that and Guardian Heroes rebooted

  16. Got home so i can finally see the video, as i said before im all over that internal battery, if the tests show that it really lasts 3 times longer im getting it! The classic controller....i like where the sticks and buttons are but it does look kinda jankey, ill wait for reviews on that one for definite, but to be fair, the one i got with the ZombiU pack is doing fine now that my fingers are used to the button layout.

  17. Any remember street racer? The first 4 player splitscreen game (all split horizontally). Had a great multiplayer and remember loving that game. Had a Royal Rumble style multiplayer where you had to knock everyone off the track, last man standing!

     

    Also had a weird football mutiplayer that I also loved.

     

    Bet the whole thing is atrocious now.

     

    I used to rent this pretty much every week from my local Blockbuster Video back in the day, i dont know how it would stand up now but at the time i really enjoyed it.
