My game of the show so far. Looks incredible. Colourful Nintendo shooter done well. Am I dreaming? Would love Amiibo functionality and Mii integration. Amazing how you can hide in a spot of ink! N-E Splatoon nights will be fun.

Links hair. BAD. ASS.

Looks good considering it's early. Nice to see something a bit different for the system and owing to the intro talks about war/religion/democracy, it should have some depth. EMP and school of democracy sounds good. Some technical info was given such as GamePad functionality for sharing information and communicating with other players. Got a cheeky pic in our twitter feed... https://mobile.twitter.com/N_Europe

Devils Third on IGN looking like fantastic fun. Reminds me of Uncharted 3's multiplayer mode.

Epic post. HYPE GET!

Were MS and SONY conferences that long? Wow! They didn't feel that long tbh. At the end of them I felt like I's just watched a few games being shown amongst a crap ton of concept adverts.

Agree - it's the reverse of the Wii situation, which had the biggest userbase. The answer as to why they are releasing content on other systems may involve moneyhats? If some developers had to wear stickers of their sponsors like F1 drivers do, they'd be covered head to toe.

Just read this fantastic post over at GAF (yup) and it pretty much sums up the industry at the moment. Hyped for Nintendo's conference - at least I know I can watch Nintendo and indies without wincing at the amount of dead bodies on screen. Bring the fun! : peace: Hhhhnnng:

Retail: Nintendoland AC III AC IV Batman Arkham City Rayman Legends SM3DW Sonic Racing Mario Kart 8 DKC: Tropical Freeze W101 Pikmin 3 FIFA 13 Digital: Mysterious Cities of Gold Little Inferno F-Zero SNES Ducktales Pullblox World Must say...having owned everything bar a 360 in the previous gen, I have a ridiculous amount of games for WiiU and with W101/SMW3D, Pikmin 3 and DKC:TF I've had some of the best gaming experiences in recent years. When I was playing W101 I was just thinking 'this is unique and utterly incredible' before jumping into the multiplatform AC games and loving their familiarity. Times like that I love having a Nintendo console. Sure, it's rare to have the unique offerings that come with Nintendo consoles, but when you have such choices on a platter, the system is fantastic. Also - the browser. Use it all the time. What a brilliant choice and as fast as my iPad with the latest update! WiiU is great. Thing is, if Nintendo pull their finger out it could be even better!

I meant as individuals and in the long term. Wishing Iwata a speedy recovery.

Seriously: Maybe this is why they are focusing on QoL too? The masters are all getting older. They've had some innings though. Most artists drop the ball. Even The Beatles fell out and lost it...Nintendo operate like a machine!

Comedy gold tbf...

How far will this go...lol

This is why I bought a PS3 during the Wii era...when the price dropped significantly enough and there was content that appealed to me. May be the same with the PS4 and although the PS3 ended up being a FIFA/PES and Journey/Flower machine - I'm still not sure if it was worth the price of admission. Although Heavy Rain & Uncharted 1/2 were experiences I adored. Think this gen I'll wait until the end and pick up an XBone or PS4 cheap and catch up on their exclusives. At least then I'll have content to play while Nintendo have their usual slow launch!

What, for 60 seconds? Nintendo's concept of timing is comic. Probably explains their release schedules.

I'm not slagging those systems off in any way, but when games such as FIFA/COD/AC sell so much, is it any wonder devs put their titles back? It's like the Nintendo effect. Most developers don't want to go up against the AAA content. If the game ends up being better it's good for the gamers at the end of the day. There seems like a lot of ports on the PS4/XBone though. Saddest thing is that their originals are on Sony/MS's prior consoles but they don't appear on the Wii or WiiU. This industry is stupid sometimes. Tomb Raider for example!

Nah, more like top of the agenda at all Nintendo meetings: 1). Pi$$ off Dazzybee

They've probably realised you don't need software for the PS4 and XBone to sell, so they can just sit back and watch the user-base increase first.

The film Gravity.

It's because there will be a map on the GamePad right? :wink:

They are only as loud as you decide. You can always, y'know, 'not' listen to them?

From GAF. Chucklesome Anti-Gravity trailer:

Is the Eldon Square store still godly though? Used to love going in there for gaming sessions on the couches. A really nice setup if ever I saw one.

A girl at work was talking about taking her son to the Watch Dogs midnight launch at a local supermarket. She was complaining about it being £50 and that you play a cyber terrorist. Erm, don't let your kid buy it then? Idiot-parenting that its best. Ubisoft are booming tbf and it's great to see them still on the WiiU. How long for is another matter though. They have successfully captured what people refer to as the 18-25 market, but haven't forgot their creative heritage through titles such as Rayman and Child of Light. They also make damn good games! I also think that due to the support given by their government to embrace the medium of videogames, their business is solid and is paying dividends. It's amazing how some governments will support their industries. It's a shame that the UK didn't do enough to support their huge pool of talent, resulting in massive losses to its software developers.

Yeah I find that strange as they now have the two pinball machines and walls of plushy dolls/figures. Because that's what consumers crave, right?
