Game

[DCharlieJP]

if, like most Nthings, you skipped all of this current HD gen then the games line up is pretty incredible.

if, however, you played on an X360/PS3 (~a 3DS in Japan) then the machine has a lot less to ever and looks like a total port station.

Again - the machine looks to be catering to Nthings that sat this gen out. I assume that Nintendo's assumption is that the huge Wii fanbase didn't buy another machine and they're all sitting waiting to migrate across to Wii U rather than one of the HD twins.


Interestingly - everything negative said about the Vita applies to the Wii U even more : "it's expensive compared to the competition" - "it's nothing but ports!"

MH3U is next March.

will be dead in Japan at that point in time. Everyone and their goat will be playing MH4.

Wait-- is Bayonetta 2 not being directed by Kamiya?

[bork]

Fingers crossed this is just a temporary exclusivity buyout. Hold out hope for Bayo 2 Sigma!

Could be possible...Samurai Warriors 3 was "Wii exclusive" too.   

[Owl-faced Wizard]

Has Nintendo system got ANY games of the stylish action genre? No DMC, no Ninja Gaiden, no Bayo, so Bayo 2 is the first?

Viewtiful Joe if that counts.  There was that crappy-looking DS Ninja Gaiden.

"Supervision" by Kamiya.   

Are those guys even Platinum staff or is this a Nintendo joint?

Yeah wow Bayo 2, NSMBU, and Rayman Legends what a bunch of ports. Also the BIGGEST complaint of the Vita: "Where is MonHun? " Doesn't apply to Wii U!

And Wii U is priced exactly in the range of where new consoles are traditionally prices whereas Vita was JACKED UP compared to every single good handheld to that point.

No it doesn't count, PN03 is closer to it than Viewtiful.

Bayo 2 could still happen on other platforms, but surely someone would have to come and step in for Sega?  Though I can't see Nintendo just giving it up after paying to finish development.  This was a dead parrot before that, remember.

Exactly. Nintendo paid to REVIVE this game. No way anyone steps up to buy them out for what was almost a dead franchise.

Yes, they helped them revive the game.

So Sega has Platinum make a Bayonetta Sigma version for the other systems. What aren't you understanding? That is what is going to happen.

[bork]

[Mr. Gundam]

Yeah, Bayonetta: Naughty Climax Edition is still a possibility. Exclusivity contracts nowadays are an interesting thing.

[maxy]

Fingers crossed this is just a temporary exclusivity buyout. Hold out hope for Bayo 2 Sigma!

 

[Owl-faced Wizard]

But who would publish?  Can't see anyone but Sony being silly enough.  I *guess* Sega could if they catch their breath a bit.

[Himu]

Bayo 2 ain't going anywhere.  SEGA isn't putting even one more cent into its development.  So unless Nintendo feels like footing the bill for the other systems...

Now I fucking need one at some point.

Fuck. I'm salty.

[Mr. Gundam]

Any word about the WiiU being region-free?

[bork]

Platinum just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U, nor will they purchase any of Platinum's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Platinum has alienated an entire market with this move.

Platinum, publicly apologize and make Bayonetta 2 multiplatform or you can kiss your business goodbye.

 

[Sho Nuff]

$300 and $350?

[Tasty]

Bayo 2 ain't going anywhere.  SEGA isn't putting even one more cent into its development.  So unless Nintendo feels like footing the bill for the other systems...

Fuck yeah Oscar.

Let's Wii U it up together.

Fuck. I'm salty.

*SLURP SLURP SLURP*

[TakingBackSunday]

I never played the original Bayonetta so I give no shits about this

however I'll probably end up buying this system because I have no control over myself

mods help

[demi]

Real talk:

I am interested in Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Bayo 2 and NSMBU

[bachikarn]

[fistfulofmetal]

FUCKING NINTENDO. FUCK YOU.

[Eel O'Brian]

let's not kid ourselves, over half of us will own one (or more) before it's over, for one reason or another

but i ain't buying it for $300

[bork]

Bayonetta also lives on in Max Anarchy/Anarchy Reigns on 360/PS3, guys.   

Real talk:

I'm interested in Bayonetta 2 and NSMBU.  As much as I enjoyed Bayonetta, it's not enough to make me buy a Wii U.  It's a start, but ultimately I see this going the Wii route and the system just sitting there, collecting dust, as I play the next-gen Playstation and Microsoft systems.

But get a few more third party games like Bayo and my dumb ass will be suckered in enough to get a Wiiuuuuuu at some point.

Also the Wii U has Tivo support?  How is that gonna work with such a small amount of HD space available on the stock models?

[bork]

I am trying to hold off on buying one.  This madness has to stop!

[Eel O'Brian]

bethesda has said they're gonna "wait and see" ( = "we're not making games for wii u" ), so that's eliminated any impulse purchase on my part

when i see news of it dropping down to $200 i'll take another look and see what the game library looks like then

[Sho Nuff]

I don't care what's shipping on it, I'm not dropping $300 or more on something with those specs on principle

[Purple Filth]

Just got back from the road and some highlights

Price  i'll wait until a price drop

Games    except 2

-Monster Hunter 3G U - not bad at all but the release date is garbage

-Bayonetta 2 - the true mega/betraylaton of the event so much that the salt is overflowing plus its the sequel a lot of people wanted but SEGA didn't give a fuck.


Other from that nope on WiiU for me just yet (though 2 games are already in the wings until its more worth it for me)

So glad Nintendo isn't charging $500, cause I'd pay it.

[DCharlieJP]

And Wii U is priced exactly in the range of where new consoles are traditionally prices whereas Vita was JACKED UP compared to every single good handheld to that point.

the Vita launched at the same price as the 3DS - or did you forget that that was the jacked up in price one?

So glad Nintendo isn't charging $500, cause I'd pay it.

oh dear.

[Momo]

Oh hey wait Bayo 2 and MonHun with online? Will buy this when 720/Ps4 drops then (assuming Nintendo will drop the price then)

[Eel O'Brian]

So glad Nintendo isn't charging $500, cause I'd pay it.

No you wouldn't - it took you how long to get a 3DS?

[Sho Nuff]

A fool and his money

[tiesto]

Bayonetta 2? New Monolith title? Shit, guess that settles what I'm doing with all these GS gift certificates I have.

[DCharlieJP]

remember that Andrex has -already- committed to getting his three sisters a Wii U - plus one for himself?

$1200 - cheapest buy in - then he'll need to buy 4 games at least right? If the games use waggle, as they all don't have a Wii, then he'll need to buy x3 "Wii pack" bundles as well.

you better start sucking more dicks, Andrex!

[Eel O'Brian]

so many dicks

[Tasty]

Consoles and handhelds are different, I usually wait on handhelds cause the colors come quicker, and they have revisions and price drops more often.

[Eel O'Brian]

i'm gonna buy another wii this holiday season and give some stuff another try, probably be able to snag one for dirt cheap around then

Planning on blowing around $1000-1100 (1 Deluxe for me + 2 Basic for sisters.) But their U's will be for Christmas, so I can buy the games afterwards.

[DCharlieJP]

hmm - the thiiiing is i just got the prospective hospital bill i'll be coughing up half for in December and we just paid son's school fees ($FUCKINGSTUPID) - perhaps i need to sell some shit first? I guess i can sell DDP DOJ pcb and that'd cover the Wii U.

[Momo]

Sucking so many dicks will drive the dollar-per-dick price right down. :'(

[TakingBackSunday]

I'll probably just trade in a bunch of shit including my wii to cover this.  But not for a while.  Summer 2013 most likely.

[Tasty]

I'd only trade my Wii in after transferring my VC games. Then again, the Wii I'd be transferring from (I have two) has a busted disc drive so I probably won't get much for it... I guess I could sell both of them.

[Tasty]

Sucking so many dicks will drive the dollar-per-dick price right down. :'(

I'm gonna put Himu out of business. :himu

[TakingBackSunday]

ugh andrex just mod your goddamned wii.  you can play ALL of those VC games through emulators

[Sho Nuff]

Hey is this thing backwards compatible

[Eel O'Brian]

for almost all wii games, says donkey kong reggie

[Tasty]

ugh andrex just mod your goddamned wii.  you can play ALL of those VC games through emulators

I did. But I ain't no pirate.

[Eel O'Brian]

$50 wii + external HDD = ...

...

...90% empty HDD

[Owl-faced Wizard]

Hey is this thing backwards compatible

Cereal?  Yes.

[Sho Nuff]

So the amount of time spent dropping the controller and picking up the tablet to fiddle with shit makes up for the amount of time opening a menu?

[Flannel Boy]

Sucking so many dicks will drive the dollar-per-dick price right down. :'(

The number of enrollments at Thomas M. Cooley does not lower the cost of tuition at Harvard Law.

Too many lips chasing too little dicks.

[Mr. Gundam]

Just like this gen, I'm sticking to my "one console every generation" plan. Bayo 2 isn't enough for me, and I've no real adoration for Nintendo IP anymore. Big selling points for me are still region free gaming for all my Japanese imports, crap Gundam/mecha licensed games, and Final Fantasy.

[Steve Youngblood]

I don't understand Japanese. Is this the new Smash Bros.?
