Nintendo WiiU : Thread 04

LOL oh the humanity

[kryss]

what with us getting Project Zero 2 on Wii and all.

Never came to North America though!

That's the weird thing. They only bothered to release Project Zero 2 in Europe despite the localisation costs (even if much of the translation work would have already been done). Project Zero 4 was actually fully localised and finished, yet Nintendo chose to not release it. After playing the game, this was madness on Nintendo's part.

I wouldn't hold much faith in Nintendo releasing it anytime soon, but it may appear eventually.

LOL oh the humanity

The last part of my shrivelled soul died upon looking at that screen shot.

Quick question for those who purchased the NSMBU + NSLU Premium Pack: Does the physical copy of NSMBU + NSLU included come with a Club Nintendo points code?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure, I think what usually happens is the points are registered when you electronically register your console. That's what happened with my NIntendoland.

Yes, there's a points card specific to the double pack inside the game's case.

Thanks. I suspected as much.

Think there's a damn good chance that I could be wasting money on a owning a Wii U before the week is out. Don't want to shell out for both NSMBU and NSLU so hunting for a copy of the 2-in-1 disc that came with the NSMBU/NSLU Premium Pack.

Probably cheaper to buy them individually, eg Luigi game is ?16 delivered here (new from Argos ebay)

Sure Mario version can be picked up at a good price somewhere online too.

Few new bits hitting Wii U eShop this Thursday, probably pick of the crop...

XType Plus (PhobosLab, €2.99 / ?2.69) — This shoot 'em up comes courtesy of the Nintendo Web Framework, with PhobosLab also developing its own engine to allow easy coding in the platform. This has always looked like one of the most impressive titles from the service, visually, while it gives a rare chance to play a new shooter on the Wii U; we'll blast away some enemies for our review.

Not even MK8 can stem the bleeding.

I doubt anything will at this point. Nintendo are just going to have to ride this one out. After Zelda at Xmas 2015, I doubt there'll be much further software of note. I'd like to be proven wrong though.

At ~?150 for the system new (provided you snag one of the deals that regularly pop up), it's IMO still worth it to be able to play 3D World, Pikmin 3, DK:TF, Bayonetta 2 and Mario Kart 8. And eventually Zelda of course. Oh and Smash Bros.

definitely a sad state of affairs, regarding future games on this system.

Just shows the complete and utter folly of Nintendo having pretty much all of their major E3 output slated for release in 2015 when it really, truly needed to be released this year without exception.

A scheduling decision that looks fatal for Wii U, imho.
