Fierce_LiNk Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 This conversation is all that is wrong with the Wii U... platformers, platformers and platformers! It's not really a bad thing in one sense. It shows that there is some strength in this area on the system. If there was the same kind of depth with sports games, racers, etc, then all would be fine.

Hero-of-Time Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 This conversation is all that is wrong with the Wii U... platformers, platformers and platformers! It's one of the things I love about the Wii U. I adore platform games and having a console that caters to this suits me nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Needs more of this diverse range of genres and styles... The Order 1886 - Interesting setting and heavily story driven action game Evolve - co-operative first person shooter Bloodborne - Action role playing game The Division - (not even out yet) massively multiplayer online action shooter Shadow of Mordor - open world adventure game The Witcher 3 - action role playing game Dark souls 2 - hack and slash rpg Batman Arkham Knight - action/adventure open world Dying Light - open world survival horror The Evil Within - Survival horror Judging by what you've listed, according to their genres, the only two that are alike are The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne...which are nothing alike. Thank you for highlighting the diverse range of genres, themes and settings and for reminding me that The Witcher 3 and Batman are both out soon (as well as potential game of the year Bloodborne).

Serebii Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 This conversation is all that is wrong with the Wii U... platformers, platformers and platformers! Yeah, we're discussing 3 platformers here, one of which is multiformat. It's all the Wii U has :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yeah what on earth @Ronnie, that is one if the worst examples of something I've ever seen! It argues against your point far more than does anything to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wii Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 “In this games business, the axiom is that software drives hardware, and we’ve seen that over our 30+ year experience in this category,” Fils-Aime said. Another gem quote from Reggie. So where are the games Reggie? A 5 month drought isn't going to drive anything, well it might drive people away. I'd love some of those big 3rd party games instead of the never ending small scale 2D sidescrolling indie games we're getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5 month drought isn't going to drive anything, well it might drive people away. I'd love some of those big 3rd party games instead of the never ending small scale 2D sidescrolling indie games we're getting. 5 month drought...for you. You're dismissing releases just because you don't like them. Stop it. If you're going to make grandiose statements in regards to the state of releases, you can't just ignore ones that don't fit your own personal opinions. Let's do a rundown of Nintendo published releases since January last year, shall we? We'll go by Europe and retail only February: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze May: Mario Kart 8 July: Wii Sports Club September: Hyrule Warriors October: Bayonetta 2 November: Super Smash Bros. January: Captain Toad Treasure Trackers March: Mario Party 10 March: Mario VS Donkey Kong Tipping Stars (Retail presence different to the download cards some stores sell, but you can not count it if you wish) May: Kirby & The Rainbow Paintbrush May: Splatoon So, where's this 5 month drought?

Now do the same for NintendoLand, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, Wonderful 101, Wind Waker, 3D World, Bayonetta, Mario Kart, Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad, Smash Bros.

You went full retard and your plan to claim that the list of games you posted weren't diverse essentially backfired.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about when you're trying to compare Battlefield and Far Cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't include some of its biggest sellers (Destiny, Knack -rubbish as it is-, Infamous) because you wanted to make some kind of pissy point. Your second post, which was actually about the topic at hand, is fine. Your first post just goes to show how little you have to actually contribute to conversations. This conversation is all that is wrong with the PS4... shooters, 3rd person action games and more shooters! Oh and every game releasing broken or buggy. This is the Wii U thread.

Wii Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 5 month drought...for you. You're dismissing releases just because you don't like them. Stop it.

Let's do a rundown of Nintendo published releases since January last year, shall we?

I should have reiterated what I've said before. I meant a 5 month drought between big releases. Capper Turd came out in December but let's go with the start of January so. The next big game will be Splatoon which if rumours are true has been delayed until July in Europe. So that'll be 7 months. The other 3 games I'll be polite, I don't care for and aren't great.

Eenuh Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 This conversation is all that is wrong with the PS4... shooters, 3rd person action games and more shooters! Oh and every game releasing broken or buggy. Do you own a PS4 and have you played any of the games? I am not a fan of shooters and don't play them, yet I have still have had more fun playing games on the PS4 (games which are very diverse) than I have on the Wii U. And I consider myself a Nintendo fan, even if they have let me down lately. Your posts make it look like you don't know what you are talking about and just grasping at straws... Don't judge what you don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, I forgot Destiny, another shooter. And Infamous, another 3rd person action game. And Rainbow Six and Overwatch on the way. You can accuse the Wii U of a lot of things, but a lack of diversity isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Nobody was accusing it of that. Yes, there was a comment about a lot of platform titles but the way to answer that isn't to try and piss on the PS4 as it says more about you than it does about the Wii U.

You're moving goalposts like crazy. Also, Splatoon won't be delayed and while your opinion is valid to games you purchase, it's not when you're making a factual statement claiming there are droughts where no drought exists.

I was looking forward to the evolution of PES as it was godly on the Wii. It was brilliant and that was despite them running the games on an old PS2 engine. They could have done so much with the Wii U. FIFA 13 is the only football game on the Wii U and you're right it's not the best, it was a lazy effort by EA. There's other sports games too like the obligatory Madden game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
