It's old tech but decent enough for a handheld in my eyes. There's nothing wrong with the WiiU's power but it's architecture is so different than the other consoles it'll never get 3rd Party support and Nintendo aren't putting out big games at a high enough rate to support it well enough. Then there's the fact it lacks any decent social features like creating parties with your friends and party chat. It's too lacking as a home console.

As far as Splatoon goes, I'd not say it's a must-have. Overall I prefer CoD Black Ops 2 as far as a shooter goes and would recommend that over Splatoon.

I want the NX to be a home console. I feel the 3DS has more to give than the WiiU does.

I didn't think much of Naruto Gaiden at all, thought it was a bit pants really. One Piece however...

I'd take amazing dungeons/boss's over NPC's any day! The dungeons are what make the games! Although Midna was by far the best NPC yet, head and shoulders above any other. I'd like another NPC like her.

In it's current state it's a 7 at best for me too. It does some things well but too many things poorly.

So of 3 game modes you can only play 1 with friends... Nintendo are fucking awful at multiplayer these days. They used to be king of multiplayer. This game should, and could (quite easily I'll add), be sooooo much better!

This is the big thing for me, Link's animation in the last two games was so rigid it just didn't look right. It broke the immersion the games had. If you compare the way Link moves to how characters in other games do, it looks so bad! They really should start doing some mo-cap for Zelda.

To be fair, Reggie himself is a PR disaster. I'm happy with my New 3DS. I bought it purely for MH4U, not for any exclusivity so it doesn't bother me.

It's as big as their "launch window" was.

It'd be better if you could create a party with a group of friends online and the join worldwide races like you could on MKWii. Why they took that option out for MK8 is beyond me. Also, if you could chat to your friends whilst racing, it'd make it more fun as it'd be more social. I hope the next console embraces online and that Nintendo's attitude toward it and it's social aspects becomes more open. In regards to console power, it should be in the same ball-park as the competition but it needn't be as powerful. I agree there... but only if the architecture is similar so that 3rd Parties can port over for little cost. I know you said people don't buy Nintendo consoles for 3rd Party games but Nintendo fans do but other consoles for them. I'd much prefer it if I'd only have to buy 1 console to play the games I want... and I reckon Nintendo want me buying only their console too as they want me on that as much as possible as opposed to playing mostly on their competition and not investing as much in their console.

I started the single player today and blasted through it. A couple nice levels in there and the final boss fight was great! The rest though wasn't all that great, pretty run of the mill stuff. Still, got all the scrolls so I've unlocked more weapons. After adding slots to gear though I'm short on cash!

Their point on having 2 maps, it wouldn't be an issue if they let us change gear in lobbies.

I gave the Ink-brush a run-out tonight and did consistently well with it. Pretty much always scoring over 1000 points, even when I was on the losing team. It may be my new favourite weapon too as it so fun to use and so satisfying when you ninja up on someone and smack them down in a rapid flurry of whacks! Now I just need clothing with the right perks on for the weapon. I reached level 20 too last night.

Another strong showing I thought.

...shit, you've found me. :p

If Nintendo do what Nintendo normally do and release the NX then I don't think it'll sell anywhere near enough to force Sony or Microsoft's hand at releasing another console anytime too soon.

Why don't you listen Serebii? They could sell BOTH handheld and console games. Why sell 5 million or 15 million when you could sell maybe 20 million in combined sales... and these aren't necessarily people buying both games, these are people who don't normally buy handheld consoles picking up the home console version. Going on your logic, why should Nintendo make home consoles when they could just make portables?

@Serebii, we have given a justification, you've just chose to ignore it... A home console Pokemon game would sell.

Nobody is saying to stop making handheld games... and here's the thing Serebii, plenty of those that would "miss out" on all that stuff you mention already do, they don't buy Pokemon as they don't have a handheld. What you aren't grasping is that some people will be happy to buy only a home console version and don't care about the stuff you've mentioned... and at the same time, people will still buy just handheld games. Not one single person is being forced to buy both.

Show these facts and data. Show me that people wouldn't buy a home console version.

I couldn't disagree any more with this whole post. In my view it's some of the greatest nonsense I've read on this forum.

There's no "making people buy a second game", who said that? I sure as hell didnt. I'm just talking about making a Pokemon game for home consoles as well as making them for the handhelds. You know, like they do with Mario and many others... people aren't forced to buy them too. When someone is at home and might fancy playing Pokemon, how is that it's portable a huge thing then when they could just play it on console?!

Yeah I don't agree with this. You overestimate how huge the portability aspect is.

@Serebii, I think you're nuts saying it shouldn't be on home console just because the portability aspect is a huge part of what makes Pokemon. You sound like Miyamoto saying F-Zero shouldn't be made if they can't think of a new and novel way of having you play it. It's just silly, people would still enjoy Pokemon on home console and just because they put in on a home console it doesn't mean the handheld versions lose anything. Put it on both... why? Because both will sell. Still, with me not being a fan of Pokemon (hate turn-based games) I'd not be interested unless they changed the battle aspect of it. With talk of an open world RPG, I'm more interested in that. I'd imagine a world like in Xenoblade Chronicles, where there'd be wild Pokemon that you would battle and try to capture, take home and train, then take the new additions out with you to help catch more. Throw a story in there and an online battle arena for multiplayer and it sounds good to me.
