#163559 Legend of zelda wind waker is a full price commercial release

Posted by AndyG on 27 January 2013 - 12:01 AM in Wii U Games and Software

This doesn't actually confirm a retail release right?

I wouldn't worry about the price, game stop always over estimates the price during preorders.
Anyway im pretty sure i will pick up this gem again for another go, from the screenshots i've seen it looks gorgeous. However the character models seem to have lost a little bit of their charm (not enough bright colours. I do urge everyone to play this game as it is a true masterpiece that despite it's age can still amaze you with its charming visuals, characters, storyline and music.



#163561 SCEA's new Vita campaign is a gamechanger?

Posted by AndyG on 27 January 2013 - 12:09 AM in General Gaming

I actually think this is could work, however the increase in sales would be hardly noticeable.
The reason no one wants to buy a vita is because there isn't enough killer apps for the system, problem is now that sales are so low developers are leaning away from the vita because they cant turn in enough profit it the vitas current financial state.



#163899 Legend of zelda wind waker is a full price commercial release

Posted by AndyG on 27 January 2013 - 06:03 PM in Wii U Games and Software

IDC about the price, because it is Zelda, I technical payed 250 dollars for ocarina of time remake on 3DS, so this isn't all that bad to me..


How exactly? do tell :)



#163905 Why TombRaider is not coming to WiiU but not all is bad

Posted by AndyG on 27 January 2013 - 06:20 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Sure developers are lazy, however making a straight port with pro controller support only is a terrible idea.

Quite a lot of the third party launch titles were given poor reviews because they didn't fully utilise the gamepad in a unique way, not many people want a sloppy port of a game that just adds a map or inventory to the gamepad screen. Im not saying that these games are bad by any means but the gamepad needs to be utilised otherwise people are going to complain.



#163915 Did they ever fix SSBB lag?

Posted by AndyG on 27 January 2013 - 06:29 PM in General Gaming

Yes the Wii did have the ability to patch, however this was used to help fix game breaking bugs.

An example of this is The Conduit 2 which had bugs that made it impossible to pass the first level.



#164299 What GCN games should be remastered next?

Posted by AndyG on 28 January 2013 - 05:49 PM in Wii U Games and Software

It's better that Nintendo focus on making new IP's then just updating an old game, as much as i love old games it wouldn't be a wise decision to put most of your resources into a game that many people have already played.

When the 3DS was launched quite a lot of people complained about the top launch titles were just remakes rather than something thats actually new.



#164301 My rant AKA why I hate some retailers (skylanders)

Posted by AndyG on 28 January 2013 - 05:51 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Where ever i go theres ALWAYS an abundant supply of Skylanders related products, it almost consumes the entire game sections.



#164302 Visceral defends barebones Dead Space 3 PC port "We don't want it to...

Posted by AndyG on 28 January 2013 - 05:55 PM in General Gaming

While i have no intention of buying Dead Space 3, i do think it is just lazy on the developers part that they won't properly flesh out the game for PC.



#164303 Timothy Lottes (FXAA creator) says PS4 1st Party games can be years ahead of PC

Posted by AndyG on 28 January 2013 - 06:00 PM in General Gaming

Quite a lot of people are still complaining about the pricing for the WiiU, sure isn't looking good for Sony fans.

I doubt that Sony would be able to suffer a huge loss on each console, oh Sony you have dug yourself quite a hole there.



#164305 Apparent final Orbis specs leaked

Posted by AndyG on 28 January 2013 - 06:05 PM in General Gaming

If these specs are true then can someone please give me an estimate on how much more powerful the Orbis will be against the WiiU.

The Orbis is sure lining up to be an expensive beast.

#164769 Awful box arts in gaming thread

Posted by AndyG on 30 January 2013 - 02:39 AM in General Gaming

The Mega Man 2 box art is just awful, can't be bothered getting a picture.



#164910 Dutch Bargains

Posted by AndyG on 30 January 2013 - 02:57 PM in Wii U Games and Software

You guys could save a lot more money if you order our online deals from here in Australia.

What online deals?

Australia is well known for it's terrible software pricing.



#164912 Kotaku:Have official Orbis docs; Devkit: PS4- 8GBRAM,2.2GBVRAM, Controller

Posted by AndyG on 30 January 2013 - 03:06 PM in General Gaming

The Wii didn't really have many outstanding third party titles, really the only thing that kept it going was their first party titles and their family friendly image.
I loved my Wii despite what it's lack of graphical power and third party titles, it's kind of sad seeing Wii's selling for as little as AUS$49 brand new.



#164914 Over 3 million Wii U's sold; Nintendo net income 160 million

Posted by AndyG on 30 January 2013 - 03:14 PM in Wii U Hardware

I'm pretty confident that Nintendo can reach at least 4 to 4.5 million sales before March, Yes that is quite far off their target but it's doing better than other console launches.



#164915 Ralph Nader says VideoGames molest children WTF

Posted by AndyG on 30 January 2013 - 03:17 PM in General Gaming

I don't want to live on this planet....anymore.

#165074 EA doesn't feel the Wii U is Next-Gen

Posted by AndyG on 30 January 2013 - 08:50 PM in General Gaming

Well some of EA's recent games have been pretty mediocre at best, lets just hope that they don't end up like THQ.



#165333 EA doesn't feel the Wii U is Next-Gen

Posted by AndyG on 31 January 2013 - 09:54 PM in General Gaming

Really? A lot of people I know think they should go out of business. Their business practices are horrible,  their ownership of the NFL license killed any competition (so now they have slacked off with the games), and they were voted Worst Company of the Year. The only thing I care about EA is Battlefield.

Battlefield is the only reason i want them to stay, everything else i couldn't give a dam.
Hopefully they will sell the IP eventually.



#165335 Iwata says he may resign if they don't make 100billion yen in profit this...

Posted by AndyG on 31 January 2013 - 10:00 PM in Wii U Hardware

I like Iwata and hope that things can turnaround for the better. If anyone needs to go, it's Reggie. He's completely clueless. VC releases in NA have been a joke and fans had to create a movement(O:R) just to get Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower over here. Reggie's good for internet memes and that's about it. NOA needs someone who knows games and understands the fans. Reggie doesn't.

I don't think he's body will be ready for that :)



#165700 Dutch Bargains

Posted by AndyG on 01 February 2013 - 07:30 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I thought Australia had terrible pricing too, and I live there! 70-90 bucks per game! ripoff :P

As much as it sucks there is a reason behind it, game developers aren't making enough money from Australia in terms of game sales so that is why the prices are so high.
The issue is trying to get resolved so hopefully we will se progress happen on that in the next year or so.



#165704 First Update

Posted by AndyG on 01 February 2013 - 07:40 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Wasn't it that before you update you should select cancel so the update will download in the background so you would reduce the chance of your WiiU turning into a brick.



#165706 What wii u games have you sold

Posted by AndyG on 01 February 2013 - 07:43 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I have not seen one preowned WiiU game in any of the game stores i have been to in the past 3 months.



#166114 Petitioning to bring Metal Gear Revengance to Wii U

Posted by AndyG on 02 February 2013 - 07:39 PM in General Gaming

Signed.

I doubt we will see this game ever appear on the WiiU, lets hope that this petition does help the WiiU get future metal gear titles.



#166115 Wii U Games

Posted by AndyG on 02 February 2013 - 07:41 PM in Wii U Hardware

Will they start having more bloom on them like Wind Waker HD.


Thats up to the developer.



#166119 PS4 revealed?

Posted by AndyG on 02 February 2013 - 07:51 PM in General Gaming

It clearly says it's a mockup.
Anyway the screen will look nothing like that, you know with all the buttons in the way and it's small size. If it has a screen how much battery will it hold?
