Posted February 20, 2015 Sorry guys, I mis-spoke. I was more referring to Wii stating that the games he didn't like don't count and that's why there's a drought at the moment. http://n-europe.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1730496&postcount=26 Hardly overflowing now is it? Since when is Mario Party a major release anymore or LEGO Marvel Super Heroes? They get Xenoblade Chronicles X at the end of April. That's the first big release of 2015? So the end of May iin Europe we get Splatoon. But is that a major release? There's nothing along the lines of Smash and MK8 until we get Zelda or X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's nothing along the lines of Smash and MK8 until we get Zelda or X. It could be. None of us know how it will perform yet and its certainly got a lot of people interested and talking about it. It's very much a wild card at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2015 Yeah, Wii U is definitely experiencing a drought: http://n-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1728768#post1728768 The next retail game I get will be Splatoon... in May. Absolutely shocking. It's a repeat of last year's 3 month gap between DK and MK8. In fact it's even worse, as I got Captain Toad last year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 20, 2015 They're aiming for it to be a huge thing, yes. So you've addressed one small part of his post. Look at the Wii U retail release schedule... NOTHING in February Mario Party 10 in March NOTHING in April Splatoon in May. 2 retail games released on the system in total across 4 months is a freaking joke man. How can you deny there's droughts?! You only need to not like one of those games (because hey, not everyone likes EVERY type of game, so you've got to account for that) and suddenly it's only like one game you might consider in a whole quarter. Stop denying the truth and pissing people off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2015 Well technically Mario VS Donkey Kong Tipping Stars is also a retail title It's being sold at retail. Nobody is saying that the Wii U is filled with content, but to say there's a drought when you disregard the titles being released is a bit disingenuous.

Posted February 20, 2015 Bwahaha. "Download code, no game disc is included" is written on the box. You are a straw-clutching fraud, too proud to admit that the console is besieged by droughts. Any number of games you could argue are being sold at 'retail'; technically speaking, you can buy eShop credit at retail stores, as well as download codes for web store games, so all eShop games are retail too, amirite? It's not a retail game and you know it. Stop insulting the intelligence of everyone else here, even the guy managing the release dates topic is in agreement that there are droughts. 2 retail games across 4 months is a bloody joke, even if you like them both.

Posted February 20, 2015 Absolutely can't believe he played that one, tbh. Right after I accuse him of always trying to 'win' arguments based on literally interpreting what people are saying rather than taking their meaning. A retail game does not mean a game that can be purchased in any way through an actual shop; it's purely the type of game, that has traditionally been sold by shops on a game disc.

Oh serebii stop it, you're embarassing yourself... you can get loads of eshop games at retail... you're trying to get people on painfully technicalities but you're not doing yourself any favours. I like how much you love nintendo are always a positive force, but know when there isn't argument. Like now. There isn't one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Yes, with a download card, not marketed with a case and everything. There's a difference. It's not a retail game, that's not what a retail game is. Stop interpreting everything so damn literally! Next you'll be arguing that cloud based gaming isn't real until servers are located in the sky. A retail game is primarily distributed in disc form (unlike this), through stores. It may also be available on the web store, but that's besides the point. They typically have larger studios, bigger budgets and development time behind them. These lines may be blurring, but sure as hell not for this game. People here are telling you that you're wrong, but you still won't accept it. How can you be so arrogant about it? Have some humility for feck's sake. Just because you can buy the code in a shop it does not mean it's a retail game. Flower and flOw got put on a disc in a compilation package because they were popular PSN titles. It doesn't mean they're retail games. Edited February 20, 2015 by Sheikah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stop denying the truth and pissing people off. I honestly had no idea it was that bad with the WiiU. That is actually pretty terrible. For me, nothing on that list is springing - so I don't foresee a purchase until either XCX and/or Zelda. But wow. Guess in the grand scheme it doesn't matter as I didn't realise/care, but still just...wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2015 I didn't realise the release list was so bad until looking in this thread. It actually looks even worse with Serebii's post - Talk about clutching at straws. It's so idiotic, they make the same damn mistakes year after year. And why? Surely they could have got Mario Maker out quicker to fill this lack of games. It really is a joke. They do some things right, getting outside companies to make games such as Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta, games that went on to do rather well and then... forget about it. They should have seen this coming and worked with more developers to get games like those out and actually support the damn thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) This weeks UK sales charts. Majora's Mask is doing brilliant but I just noticed there's not a single Wii U title in the top 40. Edited February 23, 2015 by Wii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
