Welcome to the forums.

 It looks like it's a lot of fun but only if you invest a lot of time into the game.  If you can download things other people have created and play through their levels then I'd definitely be interested.

 What is up with the OOT hate?  I think OOT is better than SS by orders of magnitude. I would have thought that opinion was universal before this thread. Can anyone oblige me and tell me what the basis for their rankings are?

  Xbox One would win by a mile except for the half controller on the side... what the hell is that.

 Does the PS4 have to stand up like that? If so, I'd hate not having the option to lay it down "properly."

 Please don't make this place stricter for the sake of a chat box.  I think there's a happy medium right now of being able to express yourself and not having every thread degrade to nothing but trolling.  And anyway, what's a forum without a few trolls anyway?

 No one has deserved the title of Goomba more!

 I for one haven't had a chance to become disenchanted with Iwata yet. I believe in you Iwata san!

 (On the other hand, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have games that are projected to be released a year and a half from now. So not like he's saying a whole lot.)

innovation by definition does not mean new or novel

 What does it mean?

 First result from google:

 in·no·va·tion  

 If you progress through the levels together it's not like you'd be joining a random game every time you complete a level.  Is that what you're assuming would happen?

 Xenoblade.

 Cheap usage of the word when it's not really anything new or novel e.g. HD has been done for a long time now that's not an innovation just because Nintendo is late to the party.  Takes away any merit from their talking points for me.

No shame, I love his voice. :3

 

 

 I gotta say the songs he's put out the past year or so I get hooked on.

 What? Smash Brothers is evolving...

 Smash Brothers has evolved into Smash Brothers HD!

 INNOVATION!

 I love the history of Nintendo IP's and for the most part like that they stick to the same formula, but I find it so weaksauce when I hear the developers talk about innovation when it's nothing of the sort.  For the most part changes are improvements, not innovations. One thing I'm looking forward to down the line with dual gamepads would be gaming in the same room with a friend and being able to/being forced  turn around in your physical space to see what's around you.  I think that would be a really cool mechanic if Nintendo ever comes out with a FPS. Anyway... /endofftopic

 Yeah. Love how discrete it is. To buy one of those or another game though? Hmm.

 Did you decide on a game Hitomi?  Are there any folks here that have an online gaming group on Wii U? ^I agree with Rainbow Dash options are limited, I'd still love to play something with a few people while we all wait for the more anticipated releases.

I havent seen and wii u advert in the uk apart from one lego city one.

 Same up here in Canada.  We need to start watching more TVii.

 Minimalist commercial + Pikmin. 

 That's all I really need.

 That was weird and hilarious.

You mean Platinum because that was in the first game. Actually I think in the first game her long hair actually merged into her outfit. Now it's short so it doesn't merge but it's still made out of her hair.

 I'd be kind of choked if I was a girl. Or maybe I'm just being oversensitive.  Whatevs.  Still going to try it out most likely.  It makes my head spin a bit, hoping that's just because the trailers are full of only the most action packed sequences.

Blizzard has never implemented Play to win models before, have they? Sure, they've offered cosmetic items in WoW, but those are irrelevant.  

 I feel like they ruined Diablo 3 with their real money AH.  I didn't mind that it existed.  They just ruined all the fun parts of the game for players trying to milk it.  They could have went for a happy medium and in the long run made more money IMO.  Even though that video talks about getting back to their roots Blizzard is a colossus that is as evil as EA now.

 Looks like a lot of fun.  I played Elements a lot a couple years ago.  I wonder if Blizzard would be able to stop themselves from turning this into a strictly cash cow franchise though.  I feel like at some point they'd start charging for single cards etc. and then it would be pay to win and not fun anymore.

I heard that her magic comes from her hair and her outfit is made out of it so when she uses her magic she attacks with her hair so her outfit comes apart...or something. I haven't played the first game either.

 lol'd for real. That's the most amazing explanation for gratuitous boobage in a game I've ever heard.  Thumbs up Nintendo.

Honestly, if you want a Halo killer on the Wii U, Nintendo will need a new IP. And I believe Miyamoto is working on that game. He has said in the past he wants to make a First Person Shooter. A "Halo" killer from him would be AMAZING. Hopefully he is working on said game and we will see it soon. But he is busy helping all of Nintendo make better games and teaching the young developers. Which is important too.

 Ahhh. Things like this make me want to just fast forward one year.  I feel like the difference in mood on a forum like this between now and next Christmas is going to be crazy.

 My epic masterpiece will take half as much time to post now.
