Retro_Link Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 NEAR future... Deus Ex is set in the NEAR future... 2027 to be exact. Seems about right (please understand)
Jimbob Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Please Nintendo, be honest and say TVii is never coming to Europe. I would feel a lot better about that.
RedShell Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Can't believe TVii is still in the works for Europe. Really thought they would have given up by now.
Goron_3 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 HUGE pricing error on the Nintendo website...digital codes for many games (including Pikmin and TheW101 for only £8). Get on it! Just ordered 3 games myself for £20 http://store.nintendo.co.uk/gift-ideas/price/up-to-100.list#ninint_GBP_price%3A[5%20TO%209.99]|sort:price
Clownferret Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 major blunder on Nintendo's part to launch a controller with a specific button for an app and then not release the app.
Fused King Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Those Download Codes work on any Pal WiiU right? If so, could I PLEASE GET SOMEONE TO BUY ME PIKMIN 3? Also, is this waterproof as in they won't back track and say that you have to pay more? Edit: O, apparently people are saying WiiU Codes only work on UK WiiUs... Welp, seems like that's over..... Congratulations to those who were able to get these awesome games! Edited January 14, 2014 by Fused King

Goron_3 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I'm literally so lucky that I took my iPad to lunch with me! Was taking a break from revision and nearly dropped my lunch when I saw those prices!

Was taking a break from revision and nearly dropped my lunch when I saw those prices!What were you doing looking for games on the Nintendo stores itself though??... Well played man!!
Goron_3 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 What were you doing looking for games on the Nintendo stores itself though??... Well played man!! I was reading neogaf...I knew it would come in handy one day
markderoos Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Wow, congratulations man, you're one lucky dude!
Agent Gibbs Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 The neogaf stuff got posted here too? i spent too long looking for that bargain thread when i could have posted here, beaten like dirty whore by Goron 3 I got 101, Lego City and Mario and Luigi was an awesome flash sale/price error
Josh64 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Oh man, if only I was a bit earlier! I have 101 and Pikmin but would have been tempted by Mario and Luigi at those prices! Also, I'm shocked that Nintendo actually acknowledged Nintendo Tvii, I thought they were just going to quietly let it die, I guess maybe there is hope after all. But man are they bad at this kind of thing. More than a year later were still waiting for something that should have been available at launch :p I guess with that kind of thing though, it's always with America in mind, and then we get it afterwards. Heck, I remember the wait for netflix to release over here, but my god, when it did, I barely left my chair for a month.
Pestneb Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 What is TVii anyway? I guess for example bbc only allow uk users to watch certain content. Assuming its like that across Europe, I imagine a LOT of red tape. Plus with the lower install base that brings a few issues of it's own. What would be cool would be getting other countries content, though I imagine that won't be possible
Serebii Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I can imagine the UK bit was easy to deal with as BBC, Channel 4, ITV and Sky are eager to do all these things and implement their OD services, among other things, on as many platforms as possible. I mean hell, iPlayer was most popular on the Wii for a very, very, long time My gut is telling me that it's the rest of Europe holding this back and they stupidly want to give it to all of Europe at once.

Assuming that is the delay.
Goron_3 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Can someone remind me what the TVii thing was actually going to do?

Goron_3 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Currently in the silent section of a library so I'll have to check that video out later. I remember being impressed by it when I first heard of it though.
Josh64 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 You could watch the video in silent, it has no voice over, just generic music. And man, is the text in that video slow. But yeah, the sports stuff with twitter and miiverse integration looks amazing, I'd be impressed if they managed to pull that off.
Fused King Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 And does it actually work that way in the states? If this is what NINTENDOTVii is all about, I don't care whatsoever that it's not coming over here. I thought it would have things game-related on it, like the Pikmin mini-series, and developers speaking about their games and whatnot. Actual insider info on what it looks like to be working for NINTENDO, 'A Day in the Shoes of Hideki Konno/Sakurai/Sakamoto/Aonuma, etc..' or 'A Look at Retro Studios/Platinum Games etc...'. Sort of like a more visual Iwata Asks.
Josh64 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Nah, that's not it at all. Pretty much just an all-in-one app for your different streaming services like Netflix, LoveFiLM and, maybe, and probably what is holding it back, channels and on demand shows from whatever cable company you're with.

Given how German laws affected the eshop selling of 18+ content i'dsay thats probably spot on.....but the silence on the topic has been deafening
Rummy Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Given how German laws affected the eshop selling of 18+ content i'dsay thats probably spot on.....but the silence on the topic has been deafening I'm pretty sure that's Nintendo's party line these days.
