-Dem0- Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Witnessing the (often) reluctant turnaround from people on this game has been delicious. A lot of people weren't happy when the game was first revealed, but that changed with some good trailers, notably the October Nintendo Direct.
Guy Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) A lot of people weren't happy when the game was first revealed, but that changed with some good trailers, notably the October Nintendo Direct. I remember being pretty excited back at the start. That Direct trailer turned a lot of people around though. Some people are still clinging to the hate, but you can't please everyone I suppose. Feels good the best new games this holiday are on Nintendo systems I already own. Edited November 15, 2013 by Guy
Aneres11 Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 I agree @Guy I've been hyped since day one - PLAYABLE PRINCESS PEACH!!!! It's nice to see such high review scores as it shouldn't ever have been in doubt that this was going to be anything less than brilliant from Nintendo. I think peoples expectations were too set on a 'new' Mario and automatically dismissed this without knowingly too much about it at all.
Cube Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Why do Nintendo tease us with Zelda then Mario the week after?! Can't wait for Christmas Day, getting Zelda next week but almost prioritised this by giving it my Christmas morning slot They're out the same day, aren't they?
S.C.G Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 They're out the same day, aren't they? Zelda - 22nd November Mario - 29th November It's going to be a busy end of the year for gaming!
Wii Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 They're out the same day, aren't they? In the States they're out on the same day alright.
Ronnie Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Witnessing the (often) reluctant turnaround from people on this game has been delicious. But but... the file size is so smaaaallllll :shakehead
Serebii Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 But but... the file size is so smaaaallllll :shakehead Clearly not a next gen title :p
drahkon Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Game looks better, now that I've seen the October trailer. Shame I don't own a WiiU. Bundle the console with the game for 200€ and I will get one. This won't happen for the next one or two years, though - if ever... Well, Nintendo will be able to survive without me buying their games :p
Wii Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Anybody else think that review leak from IGN was no accident?
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Anybody else think that review leak from IGN was no accident? Absolutely. Makes me feel slightly uneasy that Nintendo may have jumped in bed with IGN on this...
Serebii Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Anybody else think that review leak from IGN was no accident? What on earth would make you think that? Just because it's positive? Mistakes happen, you know. Even I've accidentally uploaded stuff that shouldn't be up yet

Even I've accidentally uploaded stuff that shouldn't be up yet It's Nintendo's biggest game of the year, only real big game for Wii U this Christmas and it just so happens to get posted online? Hhhmmmm. Nobody breaks the embargo but IGN of all places? A professionally run site and one of if not the biggest out there? It stays up for an hour and then suddenly gets yanked. I'm not aware but maybe you can tell me when this has happened with a Nintendo game on IGN? This is a sure fire way of getting attention for a game, you can't buy publicity like that?

Technically if what you're saying is true, then obviously you CAN buy publicity like that
Wii Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Technically if what you're saying is true, then obviously you CAN buy publicity like that I know, it's just an expression and really I'm asking did they do that? Nintendo nor IGN are going to give us that answer.
Serebii Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Mistakes happen. Stop looking for conspiracies. Hell, the official Pokémon site uploaded the wrong video a couple months back
Guy Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 The review was good, so Nintendo have nothing to lose from it going live earlier. Kudos to them if this was intentional, it has generated a lot of traffic for IGN, hype for the game and if Nintendo were in on it no heads will roll.
bryanee Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Bah people make mistakes. Look at the tit's working for MS who used PS4 Watch Dogs gameplay on the Xbox One Youtube channel, shit happens.

Something goes right for Nintendo and Nintendo end up looking good: Nintendo are bastards. I honestly don't see any conspiracy here, reviews are finished before the embargoes are lifted and occasionally things slip out in the same way some people get their console shipped early by mistake.

Fine I'll deal with it. Did I say they were b@st@rds or that it was a bad thing? No. I merely asked if it was done deliberately. If it was I think it's a stroke of genius. When I asked could you buy publicity like that, it was a rhetorical question. Look at the buzz it's created. More power to them and again if deliberate, fair play, more strategies and outside the box thinking like this in future I say. It's worked in their favour and I'm delighted it's scored well. It's helping to evaporate any fears I have about this game. In future get your facts straight and don't surmise to know what I'm thinking and stop spouting lies.
Ashley Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 RE: IGN (ITITION, it's the remix to). Big sites such as IGN are the only ones that can get away with breaking embargos as they know companies won't stop sending them games because of their clout/readership. Deals between sites and companies can and do exist, and for all we know could have happened here, but a big site breaking an embargo isn't necessarily anything more than them knowing they can get away with it.
Cube Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 A leak like that isn't Nintendo's style. Also, deals can happen even when the game is good - look at Bioshock Infinite.
f00had Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Something I was just wondering... Can you use the gamepad + Wii remotes in multiplayer or do all players have to use wii remotes ala New Super Mario Bros? Tapping on the touch screen to make blocks doesn't count as playing IMO
