i know EA are saying they didn't make any money on FIFA 13 on Wii U but it must have sold in tens of thousands, so whilst I perhaps get that they don't want to invest in a fully fledged FIFA 14 for Wii U (don't get me started) but surely they can re-skin 13 for pennies.

i've just seen this thread, what is the plan? I'm only half hour from London and it would be good to meet some of the n-europe team.

very good post. Why can't you just have a kids pc which is blocked and an adult pc which is not. blocking at isp level seems very draconian

Nintendo are not getting out of the hardware business... period! With the exception of the Wii, even though their home consoles may not sell as many units as Sony or Microsoft, combine their handheld sales and they have comfortably sold more units than their rivals every single generation. They make much more profit than either Sony or Microsoft gaming divisions and they have got into a neat cycle where each handheld generation has the power of the previous home console and gives them the opportunity to rerelease all their home console games to the handheld market.

When I got the Wii U i put the Wii in my sons bedroom, but he never played it, so last night i brought it back downstairs, used up all my Wii points and added SNES emulator to relive some of older favs that will never make it to VC. I was up all night playing numerous games and it was a real reminder of what a great console Wii is/was. Now thinking of putting the Wii U in my sons bedroom. The King is dead, long live the king.

maybe I'm being incredibly naive here, but I thought this was going to be a FOC add on to NSMBU, I was fairly stunned to see its £17.99.

cheers @dazzybee did laugh when I saw your comment about points de ja vu with NFS, you seem to be cursed with low points mate.

can i get some advice on this game. How do you know the hard/easy route is it to do with the red/blue arrows. How do you unlock keys, i keep seeing keys that are greyed out and also what's with the padlocks? Any tips would be good. Love this game though and I'm only on World 2

so many SNES games I want. Cannon Fodder Boxing Legends of the Ring Super Tennis Super Cricket the original PES/ISS

what's interesting is if Wii U has COD Ghosts, which is a system seller, and is over £100 cheaper than PS4 or Xbox1 how many people may buy a Wii U this Christmas.

I'm an average Joe. I bought a 360 and sold it very soon afterwards because of the Gold subscription required to play online and at this point the PS+ subscription is the only thing preventing me from ordering a PS4.

didn't see the vid, but from what I've read the only game I'm waiting for is Mario Kart 8, which does not justify owning the console. Can't believe I'm saying this but starting to consider finishing all the games I have and trading in for a PS4.

i really think xbox1 is going to tank. It will obviously shift units in the first few weeks, but with costs, DRM, Gold etc PS4 has really blown it out of the water.

must say I am very tempted by PS4 now. In part because Microsoft are making it look such a good console, a bit like when Wii U sales shot up after Xbox1 announcement. I really don't want to pay for online but if EA do a good version of Tiger Woods with move controls, then I could be tempted. And this is coming from somebody with no interest in PS4 or Xbox1, so it just shows how 3rd party publishers abandoning the Wii U is damaging.

just seen their website, I would have done a billboard and/or a car. Gutted I missed this, what a great way to fund a game. Anybody, know if this is going to be online?

There is no registration fee currently. If Microsoft charge the retail price for a used game it will end the used game market in one fell swoop. Nobody is going to buy a second hand game if they then have to pay the new cost to register the game, and if they game shops swallow this cost then that will come out of the trade in price, so trade in values will be next to nothing.

get all the demo's too and Zen Pinball

looks like a hybrid of daytona/sega rally/virtua racing which if done right and with online multiplayer could be epic. I have very fond memories of 8 player Daytona in the arcades and the thought of 16 player online is very enticing.

Championship Manager 4 based purely on hours spent playing. Or if we are only basing this on consoles, I think Perfect Dark. I would love a Goldeneye style remake with online multiplayer.

The Sun will rise in the morning it has not happened yet but it's not an opinion it's a fact. I was not trying to disprove anything, just trying to keep it real instead of pointless uninformed comments you read everywhere. And why on earth is stating an opinion unpleasant?

what are you disputing and based upon what? Why even bother joining the debate if you are not going to add anything to it?

i'd put my house on any of them.

There is so much BS across the internet regarding all the consoles, I though I would would try and bring us all back to the real world with some hard facts. 1: Xbox One WILL sell well in USA 2: Xbox One WILL NOT sell well in Asia 3: We are in a recession, therefore ALL consoles will sell less units than their previous iterations 4: Sony fanboys WILL buy PS4, Microsoft fanboys WILL buy Xbox One, Nintendo fanboys WILL buy Wii U. Some of my personal observations are as follows: 1: Xbox Live subscription, no used games and to a much lesser extent, always online can only have a negative impact on Xbox One sales. 2: Kinect 2 no matter how much improved on Kinect 1 only really works on Just Dance & Fitness games. On ALL other games a motion controller or standard controller work better. 3: The addition of Blu-Ray, Lovefilm, Netflix, Skype etc are far less of a selling point than on the previous generation of consoles as these are already widely available on other forms of medium.
