Best looking Wii U game right now?

03 October 2014 - 11:54 PM

I have about 2 dozen Wii U games ranging from the fun and simple NintendoLand to the gorgeous looking Rayman Legends.  I know graphics is only a small part of what makes a great game but it is still important.  What do you think is the best looking WIi U game out at the moment? After debating between the likes of Trine 2, NanoAssault Neo, Rayman Legends, MK8, Pikmin 3 and Super Mario 3D World

I give the nod to a remaster of a nearly perfect game that is the LoZ:WWHD:

Can't wait for the "NEW" cel-shaded Zelda coming out next year!!! It'll be a classic!


Media Create 09/22-09/28/2014 Fatal Frame FW sales less than Bayo2.

02 October 2014 - 02:28 PM

The Good:

  • Nintendo hardware sold the best out of their respective categories.
  • Another dominant showing of the 3DS despite a new version coming
  • Smash 3DS is a smashing success.
  • Fatal Frame a decent FW compared to the other series.
  • Bayonetta 2 in the top 20 still
  • Fatal Frame causing a 20% bump in Wii U hardware
  •  
  • The Bad

     

  • Bayonetta 2 fails to sell out of it's inital stock. (~81% sell through on 2nd week though)
  • Fatal Frame sold below Bayo2's FW sales
  • The 3 games that was suppose to increase Wii U sales consistently above 10K units (Hyrule Warriors, Bayo2, and FF) were negligible leaving only Smash this holiday to pick up the slack.
  • Bayo 2 will struggle to reach 100K units by the end of 2014 in Japan.
  •

    Wii U troll pwned by Kamiya

    02 October 2014 - 02:07 PM

    Hella funny, Kamiya tired of trying to explain that Bayonetta 2 will never come to PS4/XB1 pwns a Wii U troll.  The troll asks Kamiya if he is dissapointed developing Bayo2 for such a weak system.  Kamiya responds to the troll, asking if his mom was dissapointed in his inferior son!!!  Ouch!!! Kamiya destroyed that troll online!!! Only thing is...Wii U trolls seem to be in full defense calling him a jerk.  If someones gonna be an @$$ expect to be disrespected in my opinion. BTW here's the link: https://twitter.com/...779146286436352

     

    So what do you think well deserved or did Kamiya go a little over the top embarassing this nice young man? :laugh:

    Which games should Nintendo fund to add software to the Wii U.

    25 September 2014 - 11:37 AM

    Recently Nintendo has been funding various studios to add new IP's (in the case of Bayo2 co-owning) to their stable of games for the Wii U.  A few examples of these are Devil's 3rd, Wonderful101, and the critically acclaimed Bayo2.  Which other games should Nintendo fund in order to gain more software and more importantly new IPs for the Wii U?  I personally liked Shadow of the Eternals; despite it's early stages it looked like it could have been a good sequel to Eternal Darkness.  It had nice visuals and the story was at least intriguing.  What do you guys think any other ones Nintendo should have picked up?

    I am relieved that the game sold quite decently.  It was in line with the 35K-40K I was expecting avoiding a disaster if it sold only >20K that many Wii U haters were predicting.  It should creep to a decent 100K units sold by the end of the year having almost similar sales to HW (60K) and expected sales boost from Wii U version of Smash.  The Wii U really needs a home console version of MH4 and Pokemon RPG to really maintain momentum after the Smash release.  I don't see any software maintaining it's hardware sales after Smash Bros.  PS4 and Destiny had a good hold and X1 is literally DOA in Japan with sales  <1.5K units.  On the portable side the 3DS is beasting over the PSV which is all but dead anywhere outside Japan!!



    BTW I expect Bayo2 to sell 2-3x as much in the NA territories and 1.5x-2x in EU territories compared to Japan!!!
