Wonderful 101 is out in Europe tonight (midnight on eShop) -- gonna pick it up along with Splinter Cell Blacklist

Why on earth is the US release three weeks after? Does the US get something in its place?

Nintendo thought competing with GTA 5 would be the best shot for one of there games to do well

cool breeze · « **Reply #9190 on:** August 22, 2013, 10:35:39 AM »

some might spin it as acute counterprogramming..

It's bad, yeah. If Wonderful 101 came out this week, I'd buy it no question. As it is, either GTAV PC is announce for this year, or I'll probably cave and pick that up instead.

Pikmin 3 was held up a bit in the US vs. the EU release too wasn't it? Dunno why they're staggering shit out like that.

Speaking of earthbound. A fanmade sequel.

Did they ripoff the Wikileaks logo?

Looks better than any of the real Mother games.

that rumor of a $349 Wind Waker bundle might be true

MCD · « **Reply #9199 on:** August 23, 2013, 04:42:07 PM »

Yeah, perfect bundle to jump in.

cool breeze · « **Reply #9200 on:** August 23, 2013, 04:43:56 PM »

the interesting part is that there won't be a price drop, if the rumor is to be believed

MCD · « **Reply #9201 on:** August 23, 2013, 04:44:58 PM »

Still $50 less than the competition!

349 bundle with one of the worst zelda games thats over 10 years old ;(

Tasty · « **Reply #9204 on:** August 23, 2013, 06:50:15 PM »

Does anyone at Nintendo know how to cut a damn trailer anymore?

Even still I was really surprised by how the graphics looked in it. Haven't been paying attention much to the game since the bloom city initial shots.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #9205 on:** August 23, 2013, 08:09:14 PM »

I like how they repeat everything

"Select Hero Mode from the main screen!"

- shows Hero Mode being selected from the main screen

"In Hero Mode, you take double damage and hearts aren't replenished!"

- shows screen explaining that you take double damage and hearts aren't replenished

demi · « **Reply #9206 on:** August 23, 2013, 08:10:47 PM »

Might cop that Zelda WiiU bundle. So rare.

They showed two screens of taking double damage, as if we thought they were bullshitting us the first time.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #9208 on:** August 23, 2013, 08:24:57 PM »

I'm really glad they showed an enemy taking one heart vs half a heart of health. I really did not understand what 'enemies do double damage' meant until they showed a side by side comparison.

I actually quite liked Wind Waker in spite of its flaws. If I had more free time, I'd probably be completely on board for playing the HD remake. That said, I'm completely baffled by anyone that thinks this is a significant release. It's a game that didn't set the charts on fire over ten years ago. Granted, I think time has been kind to it, but I don't think it's been that kind.

Assuming it didn't cost that much to remake, I think it's a smart play on their part. But I really hope that a Wind Waker bundle isn't the best value proposition they have lined up for the fall.

I'll wait for the Mario Galaxy 3 $150 bundle.

mjemirzian · « **Reply #9211 on:** August 23, 2013, 10:44:11 PM »

My takeaway on this remake is Nintendo cutting their teeth on HD development. HD ports are usually a safe bet for that kind of work.

Will prob. sell ok as well.

Oscar: Mario 3D World unfortunately won't release until December.

I'll buy this game just because I never played the original.

Rufus · « **Reply #9218 on:** August 28, 2013, 11:39:43 AM »

Probably couldn't drop it below the price of the deluxe, so they just axed it.

MCD · « **Reply #9219 on:** August 28, 2013, 11:41:38 AM »

The Wind Waker bundle will debut at the same price as the basic Wii U set, despite the fact that it contains 32GB of internal memory and digital versions of both Wind Waker and Hyrule Historia.

Only on WiiU. Also these 2 DS (huh? huh?) games. And what the shit is with that stand-in cover there? It's like they expect everyone to know what it is.

They should put this on TV now. Its distinguished mentally-challenged how awesome I find the prospect of owning that figure.

Also, I am SO SO DISAPPOINTED that this game won't have a re-orchestrated soundtrack. The fact they're doing a special Symphony of the Goddesses thing in Seattle for this game just rubs salt in the wounds.

demi · « **Reply #9225 on:** August 28, 2013, 12:10:36 PM »

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww its a digital download. NO THANKS

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #9226 on:** August 28, 2013, 12:15:47 PM »

so what is the difference between the wind waker pack and the Wii U delux? HDD size and thats it?

radioheadrule83 · « **Reply #9227 on:** August 28, 2013, 12:17:48 PM »

Didn't clock the price differences of the HW bundles...

Comes with a game (and awesome Hyrule Historia in the US) for £100 less than a PS4 with no games, ~£140 less than a PS4 with one game and ~£200 less than some bundles I'm seeing with extra controllers etc.

It'll be between £50-100 more expensive than the PS360 high end models (500gb) etc, but probably about on par with bundling we'll see with GTA V etc.

Its still gonna get assfucked to kingdom-come in the US and the UK, but the price change is a move in the right direction. It'd be nice to announce things that evoke a proper future for the console (2014/15 games) and maybe market it properly.

demi · « **Reply #9228 on:** August 28, 2013, 12:18:26 PM »

Nothing is different. It just comes with a digital download for Wind Waker, frilly gamepad design, and a digital download for Hyrule Hystoria

davepoobond · « **Reply #9229 on:** August 28, 2013, 12:21:09 PM »

lol that gamepad looks atrocious.

also, i feel like its weird that they're making a console pack-in box for an HD remaster. they didn't have a "new game" that was better to put in or something.

Both have the same 32GB I believe, probably both eligible for the 10% digital purchase rebates, the zelda pack comes with Hyrule Historia in the US

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #9231 on:** August 28, 2013, 12:24:32 PM »

hm, might as well just get the WW bundle then. I don't care if I have the gay little triforce frills on the controller, I'm already embarrassing myself by buying a Wii U to begin with, why not a little extra feggitry. won't hurt.

Pisses me off -- not bothering with orchestration -- recording a game in Eastern Europe with an orchestra is incredibly cheap and the results are fantastic. Dragon Quest 8 did such a fucking amazing job at it too

Good news everyone

The Wonderful 101 sold like gangbusters in Japan, about 6000 people are having the best time playing it right now

It's on track to becoming a HUGE HIT in America

Nintendo of America's ability to shit on W101 continues to impress. Delayed demo, delayed release, releasing 5 days before Zelda

9/20 is only the digital download of Zelda. Retail date is October 6. The LE/Ganon figure is a Gamestop thing for $55.

“It’s all about the games. The competitive systems have announced their launch lineups. I’m allowed to say ‘Meh,’” Fils-Aime said. “I look at our lineup of titles and I feel good about our lineup. We’ve got Zelda. We’ve got Mario. We’ve got Donkey Kong. In addition to great titles like Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101, I feel very good about our lineup."

Tee hee
