Yeah sorry bout that, i thought it was worth knowing since it is one of the big titles in the WiiU's upcoming library.

As the title suggests Alien Colonial Marines is getting some fairly terrible reviews.

Note that this is the PS3/360/PC version, the WiiU version won't come out to a little later which should hopefully fix up some of the issues.

I was considering getting the adapter but my just about every pc in the house will max out to 1.5 m/s, most people in Australia dont have anything like 20 m/s internet but will have close to 100 m/s once the NBN network plan finishes rolling out which is expected to be done by 2021. However knowing the government we probably will only see a half of the project completed or well behind schedule. Whoa getting off track here.

IMO the new logo looks more retro than the old one.

Looks great, keep it up

Wonderful 101 definitely has a lot more character than knack does. Knack definitely looks better graphically but the margin isn't very big. The way these games play also has influenced the art style, since you don't really get up to close and personal into some of the models in wonderful 101 it would seem a waste to make it look extremely detailed, IMO i think it would look worse if they put to much detail in cause it would start to feel a little generic.

Im pretty confident they will show off Wind Waker HD, it would be a bad move for nintendo if they didn't show off Bayonneta 2 even if it isn't the most exciting title thats on the way for WiiU.

I love how they just photoshoped out the the word "official" on the nintendo seal.

While i do agree that Nintendo could have added more RAM considering Ram is so cheap but im happy with what i have purchased. Graphics isn't the only thing that attracts developers, they need to consider it's profitability, the resources it will require and how easy the architecture will be to program with. PS3 for instance had quite a lot of power under it's hood for it's time but was overshadowed for quite a few years due to hard to develop for architecture and low user base. I honestly don't care if the graphics improve no further than what we have now, i would rather play a game that has unique and fun gameplay rather than a bland, generic shooter or simulation racer that prides itself on graphics but doesn't match up to gameplay.

The PS4 was always going to be more powerful than the WiiU, that was a given. But just because some of the games look like they can be handled by current gen consoles doesn't mean it is current gen, the X demo was an early build but there probably won't be much alteration in graphics when we see the full thing. How well the WiiU will be able to compete will be shown in time, but too many people have very little faith in the WiiU so lets hope they will be able to make it through.

Wii Sports definitely sold the Wii. The uniqueness of the controller and the potential of that game opened up new markets for video games.

Nintendo are really going to have a hard time of it from now on in. Mediocre hardware with no outstanding unique feature, poor operating system and no games that get people buzzing and to add to all that, so damn expensive!

A system for hardcore Nintendo fans only, which is not enough to keep them competitive.

Some would say to differ.

Yes the OS is infuriatingly slow, yes their has been a lack of titles. Remember though that it's only been 3 months since launch, you can't expect a console to not have it's flaws, sure the OS is a little unforgivable but it will get improved over time with updates, as did the PS3 & 360. Games will come in time, it's far too early to say the WiiU won't get enough support.

Also i found the price point just right, compared to last gen it's cheap as chips, sure the economy has been pretty bad but i feel that people are making a way to bigger issue about.

Just my opinion.

I can't see Ubisoft taking much advantage of the WiiU for this version of the game. I just hope it won't be a sloppy port with tacked on gamepad features and low frame rate as we have seen in some ports

If it's anything like that AC3 port than i might consider cancelling my preorder, i personally haven't had a good experience with that game.

lets just dont get hopes up and wait until we see Wii U specific gameplay. like Splinter cell blacklist comes out in 20 days and we havent had a Wii U specific direct feed footage demo.... wonder why? Wii U will be an amazing console for games developed exclusive for it...other than that you are SOL. thats what im expecting

Nintendo did release a trailer on their Youtube page, I would be pretty confident in saying that it was likely direct feed from the WiiU version.

I will probably get the PS4 version instead due to a larger online community. At least it is good to see that the Wii U port won't look too underpowered.

The name reminds me of Lulzec which is a defunct hacktivist group.

I don't think you are even able to select who goes into your world, I believe it will be just at random. There will probably be a decent enough online community, i doubt that you will ever see the same player twice.

I don't think there's any Wii U specific footage for Watch Dogs. Yet...

There was that 5 second clip they showed on the E3 Nintendo direct, the buttons do match up with the ones on the controller but it could possibly be the Xbox version. I doubt Nintendo would include footage from the xbox/1 or PS3/4 versions in the Nintendo direct.

Maybe it's just me but I would consider Nintendo to be appealing to a "broad" audience rather than a "kiddy" audience, I guess it doesn't really matter since EA is trying to cater for gamers like they were mindless children.

How exactly will this touch pad be innovative? I struggle to find any amazing sort of interesting use for it.

It will take some time for devs to fully optimise their games for the system. Just the other day i got AC3, like many have mentioned the frame rate does suffer a little which can take you out of the experience even know im not really getting much enjoyment from the series.

Firing Iwata isn't the solution, what they really need to do is rethink their direction.

Skype is owned by Microsoft, but it could happen.

The PS Vita has Skype so I think it is a possibility! 

Also, Nintendo should add a first party Video and Picture viewing apps! 

Yeah i was going to mention that but i was too lazy to google it to make sure :3

The demo just basically throws you out in the blue with one type of weapon and no tutorial  if you have played a MH game before it shouldn't be too much trouble adapting. Monster hunter isn't a game you will learn completely overnight, it takes time and requires you to slow down a little before heading out on battles.

 

The full version will have you start off with one very basic (and weak) weapon, than you will have to fight smaller animals and gather other various materials to fashion them up into a bigger, stronger weapon. It may sound a little boring spending the first few hours collecting various items, but once you finally defeat a large monster you get such an immense feeling of satisfaction.

 

MH is not for everyone but is by no means a bad game, just get past that difficultly curb and you will have a great time.
