Sheikah Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 you are a corporations dream punter,the kind of guy that spends £400 on a new console, £60 on a second controller, £60 on a game that's already available on a console you own for £30, £40 subscription to play the thing and then another £20 in DLC and all the while, happily trotting along oblivious (or just in plain denial) to the fact you are getting butt fucked. They are greedy bastards who's only objective is to empty your pockets. This post just highlights a remarkable level of ignorance, since I don't even have a next generation console yet. And when I do, it will be to play new and exclusive games. You may not be all that familiar with those.

Sheikah Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Too right. £330 for the console at GameSpot, the extra controller is unnecessary, DLC I almost always usually pass on, and Plus is usually 30 and I already had it since it's a brilliant service. I don't even know where to begin with his argument. Wii U launched at about the same cost and it's looking pretty doomed right now. PS4 has a really good lineup already for the year.

Ashley Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Plus there's some kind of weird assumption that people don't choose how to spend their money, but are influenced by those mind-controlling advertisers. Who is to judge how anyone else spends their money? If you want a new console go buy it! If you want to spend the premium on getting a Macbook rather than a comparable Windows computer, have fun! If you want the latest Nikes rather than some cheaper Airwalks, all for you!
ReZourceman Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Other than work shoes, Airwalks is all I wear. Lol.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 @ShinenGames Is it looking likely we'll see your 2nd Wii U game announcement this month? @GoldMetalSonic Just in a few days Come on! Give us a Nintendo Direct this week!
Mokong Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Dream annoucement would be FAST seqeul cancelled cuz Nintendo gave them the F-Zero franchise! *wakes up* DAMNIT
Serebii Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Dream annoucement would be FAST seqeul cancelled cuz Nintendo gave them the F-Zero franchise! *wakes up* DAMNIT I'd settle for that. Do we have a date for FAST?
RedShell Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 There's no Nintendo Direct this week, is there? Bloody hell, Nintendo... Seriously, this is beyond a joke now.
Dcubed Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 There's no Nintendo Direct this week, is there? Bloody hell, Nintendo... Seriously, this is beyond a joke now. Looks like my prediction is looking a bit more likely now Feb 17-21. Sometime during that week before DKCTF launches...
RedShell Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Looks like my prediction is looking a bit more likely now Feb 17-21. Sometime during that week before DKCTF launches... Looks like it. Damn you, Dcubed and your accurate predictions!
Hero-of-Time Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Feb 17-21. Sometime during that week before DKCTF launches... They better not waffle on about DKCTF. We've already seen enough of that and I wanna know what they are gonna do to plug the gap between that and Mario Kart.
RedShell Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 They better not waffle on about DKCTF.

dazzybee Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 To be fair this week quit e a few eshop games have been given releases in-between the two releases, going to be a fair few. I have a feeling Steel Diver will get released though... Their first free to play game!!
Retro_Link Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Tbh unless this Nintendo Direct features DCK:TF, and updates on the performances of New Super Mario Bros 2 and Animal Crossing, I'm kicking off.
Andyliini Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Warner Bros. Montreal is rumoured to be working on a new title, which is apparently coming to Wii U, too. Studio hasn't announced anything new lately, have they? EDIT: Also, Child of Light from Ubisoft is coming to Europe on April 30th. America has the price of $14,99 and while European pricing hasn't been confirmed, I bet it will be around 15€. Edited February 6, 2014 by Andyliini
ZeldaWard82 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I just could not warm up to the WIIU so far, being a hardcore fan from the SNES to the WII Wish the must have Zelda or Mario would come sooner
Rummy Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I just could not warm up to the WIIU so far, being a hardcore fan from the SNES to the WII Wish the must have Zelda or Mario would come sooner Hello and welcome to the forum! What made you buy the WiiU in the first place and what games have you played on it? This isn't meant to be a criticising your choice, as I'm in exactly the same boat - I think a lot of us are so I'm curious as to people's motivations for buying it atm.
RedShell Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Wish the must have Zelda or Mario would come sooner Has Australia not got Super Mario 3D World yet? Seriously though, it doesn't get much more must-have than that.
Rummy Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I don't have 3D world, so I don't know how 'must have' it is. A proper 3D mario will likely be more 'must have', or a new Zelda. In fact, I think I know more Wii U owners(which isn't even a lot) with ALBW than with Mario3DWorld. For the same wii u owners, I'd say it's about equal numbers for WWHD vs 3DWorld.

Goron_3 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Super Mario 3D World IS a proper 3D Mario game. It's 2D Mario gameplay in a 3D world, similar to 3D Land on 3DS. You can't even compare it to say Mario 64 or Sunshine, don't even try. COMPLETELY different styles of games. 3D world barely pushes the Wii U other than some pretty graphics at times. It's a very self contained and simple game and it wouldn't surprise me if they could have just made the whole thing on the Wii. I get what @ZeldaWard82 is saying though. This is brand new hardware that is significantly more powerful that the Wii; where are the new games that show off gameplay and worlds that just aren't possible in older hardware? At the moment they have just made sequels and remakes of previous games, which makes it very difficult to justify the hardware as the games could easily have been done on different hardware. Heck, even in the recent interviews with the Donkey Kong producer he said it was just like the Wii version. Okay, they've said that they've got a game coming up that will be new AND make use of the GamePad but it's a bit late for that. Edited February 7, 2014 by Goron_3

This came up during a couple of podcasts I listened to over the past month or so. Both 8-4 and NintendoWorldReport have staff members which loved ALBW but some of them hadn't bought Mario and didn't feel any excitement towards it.
Shorty Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 It's 2D Mario gameplay in a 3D world, similar to 3D Land on 3DS. You can't even compare it to say Mario 64 or Sunshine, don't even try. COMPLETELY different styles of games. 3D world barely pushes the Wii U other than some pretty graphics at times. It's a very self contained and simple game and it wouldn't surprise me if they could have just made the whole thing on the Wii. The main difference, if people really can't see it: How many levels in Super Mario 3D World are floating platforms in the sky, with falling off = death/infinite abyss, and have a linear route to the finish? Now, how many in SM64? Still good, but I'm glad that separation exists because then it means the other style is hopefully still out there.
