Wii Sports was a killer app though, something new that captured the imagination of many people around the world. I'm not arguening its merits just saying.
Nintendoland is just another party game. Nothing new. No causal is gonna drop 300 to play this.
I'm confused as to what i even NEED to play Nintendoland at this point!
Assuming the "fun" of it all is playing 5 players (1 Wii U pad and 4 -others-)
it's the "others" bit i am totally lost on : my assumption was i'd use my old sensor bar + wiimotes, but now it's looking like that might not work and i need the new sensor bar or -at least- 4 Wiimote+ ?
I mean - doesn't this mean that the killer Asym gaming experience is $300+$50 bar pack+3x$30 wii motes = $440 = fuck right off for most people?
Of course you don't have to buy everything in one go and all that but... this just looks like a disaster. Again - in Japan - preorders available everywhere and the "super limited MHU bundles" ? Available everywhere....
Enjoying the reaction to no cheevs. The whole thing is going to be based around social interaction with the Miiverse - i know, let's not have a cheev system! Waa waaa... "bu bu bu who cares about cheevs?" "bu bu wont someone think of the developers!" <--- particularly like this one as it has shades of the Sony No Rumble Excuse Squad.
