Wii U - thread 3

[Brad]

There's nothing to discuss. It's another stupid idea from Nintendo. The end.

[Golgo]

Don't think they're short of cash. Made a tidy profit this year didn't they? And they'll clean up when Pokemon comes out. It is a stupid move though, as these Youtube people are doing free advertising work for them effectively.

So EA has no games in development for the wiiu. Who are going to release old xbox 360 games for me to play on my wiiu now?

Whoever thought it was a good idea to release games that are already available in the bargain bins on other formats needs a good talking too, early adopters tend to be the gaming hardcore and releasing games like need for speed and mass effect which gamers have probably already played seems stupid, likewise a janky batman with a new electricity punch is not going to make me play Arkham city again.

Nintendo should of worked on more exclusives with these Dev's, or got some indys involved to come up with some simple eshop games that use the gamepad in intresting ways, last years games on a new system is not a reason to buy a new console.

Its hardly news though ... We have known its been like this for a while, and there will be people out there who will buy those games, regardless of what you or I say.

Betrayalton, Yakuza 1&2 HD game coming to wii u! (looks like this is japan only atm)

IIRC the wonderful 101 has been dated for the 23rd 28th august... wait it was the 23rd

[originalbadboy]

Pikmin 3 - July 28th

Wonderful 101 - August 28th

Looks like they are saving most of the other stuff (assuming it exists at all) for E3.

[teddymeow]

Those dates aren't UK dates.

Just saw July 26th for Pikmin and August 23rd for Wonderful 101. Both Friday's.

And it just cut out after Pikmin 3. He didn't even say goodbye.

Sorry thought they were both the 28th for some reason. Close enough anyway.

So nintendo and sega partnership again... so does it mean we will be getting a new F-ZERO title in the near future!?!

[briareos_kerensky]

Valkyria Chronicles on the WiiU!

[GluedOnBeard]

Maybe Nintendo will kindly back Skies of Arcadia II, as long as it is not an avalanche of olympics games then I am happy. Good to see some solid release dates finally announced too can't wait.
