Fused King Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Now this is more like it Nintendo. Exclusive WiiU games vid. The video is awesome, but my first reaction was that it is a little bit sad to tempt people into buying your console when some of the best games are half a year or even more time away. Is this a TV commercial or just meant for the internet?
Mokong Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 That sizzle reel is so eeriely like Redshells I do wonder if maybe they saw his vid that I @mentioned to them and just copied it The Inclusion of "New Game from Monolith Soft" just seemed weird in the way of showing a game in an "advert" that has no official name yet... but it was in Redshells vid so they had to put it in haha The Luigi Parkour vid though, now that was cool
Ashley Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 This is Nintendo, they wouldn't do anything that quickly
Kav Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 So, what should I play next? I game almost exclusively on the Gamepad whilst my flatmate uses the TV. Of course I do get time every now and again to use the TV too but really not all that often. I'm still to finish ZombiU because of this. So, I guess it's mainly games that are enjoyable on the Gamepad alone. To play I have the following... Assassins Creed 3 Splinter Cell Blacklist Wonderful 101 I absolutely do not know what to play next! What do you think?

W101 and SC do have some decent gamepad stuff that if you played exclusively on the gamepad you would be missing out on. Ive got all of those three games to start aswell.
Josh64 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I find it weird that they're this far into development and still haven't decided on a name for the game! And I swear Nintendo are putting more effort into the year of Luigi than Mario's 25th anniversary :p

Out of that list though I would easily say W101, followed by Splinter Cell and then Creed.
Dcubed Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 TW101 does have an Off-TV function, but the game requires two screens at certain points - so it features a picture-in-picture mode for those parts that need both screens... It works... Sorta... It's REALLY tiny though! I wouldn't recommend playing it that way really as it's VERY difficult to see what's going on (hell it's hard enough even when using the TV!) It's definitely a two screen game.
bryanee Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Price drop confirmed for the USA http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/08/28/wii-u-price-drop-confirmed
Dcubed Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Console is still too expensive. Should've aimed for $249.99-$269.99 with Zelda. DKCTF being $50 is just weird though. Why is that $50, while SM3DW is $60?
Agent Gibbs Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 how much of a price drop will the EU see then? i think they could and perhaps should have dropped the price far more than $50 though eitherway!they need to make this impulse buy/second console territory
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 So...I got a phone call from the lovely people at Flubit today. Yup, they want that second free controller back.
bryanee Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 So...I got a phone call from the lovely people at Flubit today. Yup, they want that second free controller back. Isn't there a law saying you don't have to return stuff sent by mistake, or am I getting that confused with another law?
Dcubed Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 NOE don't set prices directly. Their open pricing model lets retailers set it at whatever they want, but GAME currently have the Zelda Wii U bundle on their site for £249.99. Still waaaaayyy too expensive, but other retailers will probably be cheaper. GAME are always the most expensive...
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Isn't there a law saying you don't have to return stuff sent by mistake, or am I getting that confused with another law? I don't know. Too many laws. Need to get Judge Dredd on the case.
Ike Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 What will they do if you don't? Send the Hired Goons? Seems a bit late asking for it back.

Serebii Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Nowhere near enough of a drop in my eyes! Well, Nintendo as a business doesn't want to haemorrhage money, so it's as good as you'll get :p
Dcubed Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Well, Nintendo as a business doesn't want to haemorrhage money, so it's as good as you'll get :p It might be the most that they can afford, but I'd have to agree with Kav. It's still not enough of a drop to have any real impact (just like their Xmas lineup. Good, but not good enough...) Edited August 28, 2013 by Dcubed
Cube Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Isn't there a law saying you don't have to return stuff sent by mistake, or am I getting that confused with another law? "Unsolicited goods" count as free gifts. If you received a random box from GAME but didn't order from them, it's yours. Mistakes like this where you get two of the item would still be theft if you kept it. However, @Fierce_LiNk, make sure they send you a paid-for returns label or to organise a courier themselves. You only have to make it available for them to collect.
liger05 Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 So looks the basic is being phased out. About time. Over here I don't think £199 will change much. Retailers have tried that. £179.00
