Wii U - thread 3

[VR46]

And the last one is NES version on Donkey Kong, which goes up in a months time.

if anyone is interested, i just got Game & Wario preordered for ?20.76 from Flubit (got them to beat WOWHD's ?24.99) I know its not had great reviews, but I love Wario Ware games, and this is a bargain price.

Thought this summed up nintendo quite well this year.

Also i am a little gutted that the visual polish evident in the earlier WW HD shots, seem to have vanished and made way for a cut and paste HD job....not really a big negative, but a little underwhelming all the same.

I couldn't but notice this as well, didn't look anywhere near as impressive as the initial press shots, which also sums my entire attitude towards the wiiU, just total apathy.

Along with Microsoft as the best media briefing....

Doesn't surprise me about bayonetta 2....overall i thought that(drm discussions re ps4 aside) the whole of E3 was a predictable, bore fest.

The only game that had the potential to get me going was WW HD, and the dissapointment of seeing a carbon copy of the gamecube game simply running at high res, really just left a bitter taste in my mouth....ocarina on 3ds anyone?

I'll be playing it over on cube in light of this.

Also do people seriously still get excited over Mario kart?.....I havent since 150cc class on the snes, you know when you actually felt like you were racing, with actual speed involved.

Nintendo, nintendo, nintendo......ease up on mario for 12 months, and provide updates to neglected franchises.

Starfox, F-zero, Metroid(i'd like too see a ninty developed metroid again), pilotwings etc.

Disappointed? yeah.....because i wanted to be blown away by whats coming next for the WiiU, after splashing on one and never really playing after the novetly wore off.

Then the news that Dues Ex DC is multiplatform AND has second screen support on every console...

Thank goodness for pikmin 3 and DKC: TF, heres hoping they are the deepest ninty games for years.

that's a shame its not a long term promotion, would be miles better to keep this running indeffinatly..

I hear ya, but maybe Nintendo have come to their senses and realised they should be pouring their resources into making new games for the Wii U, not high def ports of older games.

Incoming this Thursday

Be good to see reviews and see how much is actually different from the Mario game.

[J0e Musashi]

I'll wait for the stand-alone version I reckon. I'd rather have two separate games, unless NSMBU becomes NSM&LBU with the DLC, instead of you just picking which version of the stages you want to play in NSMBU. I bet the disc version will become quite "rare" too.

I'm doing my best to NOT partake in downloading titles. As much as I rarely part with Nintendo stuff I like to cast my vote towards physical copies.
