sub 50k would be hilarious, when is npd due?

[Howard Alan Treesong]

We should start a pool: the person who is the farthest off has to buy a Steam game for the person who was the closest to predicting the right number

Good idea.

I was at Gamestop today just looking and it was very weird to see the WiiU being the most expensive console by a mile.

You can get a PS3 for 189 for Christ sake, no way a parent would pick up a WiiU then for their kid.

[cool breeze]

Consoles are still very expensive compared to PS2/Xbox/Gamecube at this point.  But yes, Wii U is more expensive and you get less for that money.  You don't even get a Wii remote in the $350 box and it's an important part of the system.

WEEOOOOOO~

Gotta have something to ask for next Christmas.

Agreed. Some might liken packaging a Wiimote U as other consoles adding a second controller, but the two methods (pad/remote) are extremely different and serve different purposes. I mean, to play co-op in NSMB U (i.e. the non-shitty MP mode) you need *two* remotes, zero tablet.

Deus Ex could be awesome on the WiiU thanks to the pad. Hack into the cameras and see what they see. I don't know, lots of options.

Square should port XIII. Have the entire datalog on the pad. Hell, have the dialogue pop up on there in real time with every term used being clickable so that it takes you to the log about it. It's just genius.

[Eel O'Brian]

yeah, i've said it before on here, but for a lot of nintendo faithful wanting to have the same third party games as ps3/360 is just wanting to have a discussion point rather than an actual desire to buy and play them

you can look no further than black ops, for years i've read various complaints about not getting the full COD experience -  then when it's there, no one buys it

can't complain about not getting games when you aren't buying any (oh but they will complain)

[Brehvolution]

It's gotta be painful to all those who complained that the wii wasn't getting ports of all the 3rd party games and then seeing the same thing happen to Nintendo's HD console.

[Great Rumbler]

It's gotta be painful to all those who complained that the wii wasn't getting ports of all the 3rd party games and then seeing the same thing happen to Nintendo's HD console.

But here's the thing: Nintendo fans wouldn't even buy the ports that the Wii U actually did get!

And that's why it's not getting anymore.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

The thing is, it's too early for these bad sales to have scared off ports this fast. Something before hand before the WiiU launched had to have triggered devs into saying "Nope, not getting a port, not worth it".

Yeah, a little something called "It's a Nintendo console." A few developers were willing to take a little risk and bring out some ports at launch. Those ports sold like freeze dried elephant dung. Now, the Wii U isn't getting anymore ports.

Yup - As i said previously - several companies canned games before the Wii U even launched. Wii U Price tag + spec + not quite as easy to port to as thought + next gen = not bothering?

[Eel O'Brian]

Doesn't help that they wanted to (or have to) get $60 out of games that are several years old, either.

That looks and runs the same if not worse.

The controller's implementation in most of them has been basic at best too, so it's not like there's a worthwhile bonus there either.

Deus Ex is going to be a completely fresh experience with an always visible map on the second screen.

$20? It's hit $5 ($7.50 for GOTY) multiple times in the past several months.

[Mr. Gundam]

So Human Revolution bundled with the DLC and some smallish new gameplay device?

[Steve Youngblood]

Thankfully, I already have my Wii U, so I'm ready.

60 bucks and 2 years late......

BUT YOU CAN PLAY IT ON YOUR FAPLET NOW!


The WiiU is like watching a bum starve to death.

I think it was $5 last week on GMG

Nintendo's stock shooting up, must be something in the works.

[maxy]

Nintendo is buying Sega Sammy,obviously.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Maybe they are just buying back stock now its cheap.

[radioheadrule83]

That'd probably look more like this:



Gaffots are saying its something to do with the Yen or some shit. Which is a shame. I want new announcements.

[benjipwns]

Miyamoto did give an interview recently so that could also be a cause.

[mjemirzian]

Console fanboys: The only people who obsessively watch stocks despite probably not owning any.

[AdmiralViscen]

I heard that King Kullen was considering buying them out, inflating the stock price

When do we get NPD numbers?

Lego City Undercover - 5

Is that normal for Lego games?

[archnemesis]

They gave Lego Indiana Jones a 6. I've never played any of them, but they look really bland and boring. Non-game Lego blocks are cool though.

Seems like a good game for kids



loading times seem to suck though

Amazon UK dropped  WiiU price by £50,both models.

I doubt it's a permanent drop,probably just that retailer thing that has been going for some time now.But who knows...

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

could Drakengard 3 be the game Square Enix is gonna announce for the Wii U at PAX?

because that inevitable slice of warmed over mediocrity could possibly be even more hilarious then Deus Ex: Way Too Late to Matter.

I'm not writing a thesis, just posting about games and shit brah!

Your story of you harping on my stupidity is getting pretty boring oscar.

I don't see how I am being stupid, maybe I just don't care enough to do research for everything I say about games, I post from my gut cause it's a hobby not a matter of life or death. I really don't mind when I'm proven wrong either.

[Cerveza mas fina]

But you always do my research and reply with it
