#93840 Nintendo caved, says Patcher.

Posted by AMAC on 17 July 2012 - 04:08 AM in Wii U Hardware

I think CoD would be made for the Wii U regardless of the controllers, given that it was published on the Wii. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some pressure from developers for Nintendo to produce a conventional controller for the Wii U.

#93446 Wii U CPU confirmed (by respected game producer) As weak.

I'd like to remind you guys that while debates like this are fine, insulting other users is not, and some of the posts in this thread are bordering on being insulting. If I see anymore offensive posts here, I'm going to start giving out warnings.

Can we also please stop typing in all-caps?

#93210 Codemasters - F1 Race Stars

Posted by AMAC on 13 July 2012 - 07:38 AM in General Gaming

It seems like a fun game to me. I'd definitely consider getting it if a 3DS version is announced. I think this sorted game is a good idea, as itshouldhelp together young kids interested in Formula 1 and in the long term could also help Codemasters sell more of their simulation F1 games.

#93088 Angry Birds Trilogy to Cost $29.99

Posted by AMAC on 12 July 2012 - 07:52 AM in General Gaming

It seems pretty steep for three games that cost £3 each on iPad. As someone with the iOS versions of most of the Angry Birds games, I wouldn't pay that sort of money for a 3DS version unless it has some significant differences from the previous versions.

#93013 How do you put you're Mii as you're profile picture?

Posted by AMAC on 11 July 2012 - 12:51 PM in The Café

Locking this thread now as the question has been answered and you seem to have got your mii as your avatar.

#92703 More themes!

Posted by AMAC on 09 July 2012 - 11:47 AM in Site News and Feedback

I'd be all for adding one of those themes to the forum, but they cost a considerable amount of money, so it would be up to Feld0 to decide whether he'd be prepared to pay that sort of money for a skin. I don't know how to create a theme myself, but if any of you know of any sites with free themes or know how to design one yourselves, I'll consider adding them asan option.

#92700 chat kicks me for no reason!

Posted by AMAC on 09 July 2012 - 11:39 AM in Site News and Feedback

At the moment, the Chatautomatically kicks members after 30 minutes if you don't post any messages. You don't seem to be banned from the Chatat all either, and only mods/admins are able to kick users from the Chat. Are you able to access the Chat at all, or are you kicked as soon as you try to enter?

#91844 Most wanted unconfirmed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd party games

Posted by AMAC on 04 July 2012 - 10:25 AM in Wii U Games and Software

1st party game: Mario Kart
2nd: Pokemon Stadium
3rd: F1 2012/13

#91802 Xbox8

Posted by AMAC on 04 July 2012 - 03:13 AM in General Gaming

Xbox Infinity seems like a plausible name to me an do agree that it's better than Xbox 720. However, these big companies often purchase lots of domains, many of which are never used. I think there was a similar rumour about the Wii U, regarding a domain that Nintendo had purchased.

#91317 Bedroom?

Posted by AMAC on 02 July 2012 - 01:12 PM in Wii U Hardware

I'll probably keep mine in the living room, as that's where the big HD TV in my house is and it's a better place for the Wii U for multiplayer.

#91230 What Store do you Buy your Video Games at?

Posted by AMAC on 02 July 2012 - 03:43 AM in General Gaming

I used to get most of my games from Game, but these days I tend to use Amazon as it's usually cheaper.

#91131 Gamestop's a bit harsh on pricing..

Posted by AMAC on 01 July 2012 - 12:25 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm pretty sure those are just placeholder prices. I'd be very surprised if GameStop, or any other retailer, actually sells Wii U games for $100.

#91080 What is your favorite quote?

Posted by AMAC on 01 July 2012 - 05:09 AM in The Café

"Being second is to be the first of the ones to lose"
- Aryton Senna

For me, that quote sums up the greatest driver of all time pretty well.

#91079 Favorite Games of All Time

Posted by AMAC on 01 July 2012 - 05:05 AM in General Gaming

My favourite game of all time is Spyro: Year of the Dragon. It's one of the first games I ever played and it's the first game. That I put a considerable amount of time into. If a HD remake of Year of the Dragon is ever released I would definitely purchase it.

Ocarina of Time is another one of my favourite games. I'd never bought a Legend of Zelda game before soi wasn't entirely sure if it was for me, but as soon as I got it it became the only 3DS game I played for the next few months.

#90746 What game should I get?

Posted by AMAC on 29 June 2012 - 08:56 AM in General Gaming

Have you considered Mario & Sonic at the 2012 Olympics? It's a pretty fun game, although if you're looking for a good single player experience, it might not be the best option. If you're interested motor racing at all, then you may want to consider F1 2011. F1 2012 will be released in a few months, so the 2011 game should be pretty cheap now.

#90543 Would you be disappointed if Nintendo Land and NSMB U don't have online p...

Posted by AMAC on 28 June 2012 - 12:10 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I'd be disappointed if NintendoLand doesn't have any online features. I think NSMBU should also have online play as I think games which have multiplayer modes should also have online play as that's what many gamers want.

#90229 The most amazing concept ever... the DS U!

Posted by AMAC on 27 June 2012 - 08:33 AM in General Gaming

It seems unlikely to me that we'd see something like that. DS games would probably look horrible on a large screen and I don't think there'd be any simple way to upscale DS games.

#89873 Rumor: Nintendo Land to Feature More Than Nintendo Themed Mini Games

Posted by AMAC on 25 June 2012 - 10:56 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I suppose it's possible that there will be some third party content, but I think it will mainly be based on Nintendo games. I inks it's very unlikely that the likes of ZombiU and Metal Gear Solid would appear, as that would bump up the game's PEGI rating, which isn't what Nintendo would want for this kind of game.

#89395 How old are you?

Posted by AMAC on 22 June 2012 - 05:10 AM in The Café

I'm 17 at the moment. I'll be 18 in September.

#89394 Wii U News Forum

Posted by AMAC on 22 June 2012 - 05:09 AM in Site News and Feedback

I'd rather have the Introduction section at the top once the E3 section is removed, as having it there will hopefully encourage more new members to take the time to introduce themselves. Members aren't able to post in the news section, so I don't think putting it at the top would benefit the forum.

#88727 What are your favorite Sport Teams and Players?

Posted by AMAC on 19 June 2012 - 01:39 PM in The Café

Formula 1 Team: McLaren (I also quite like Williams)
Formula 1 Drivers: Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button are my favourite drivers. I also have a soft spot for Paul di Resta, as he's Scottish and he's pretty good.

#88622 What is your favorite sport?

Posted by AMAC on 19 June 2012 - 06:59 AM in The Café

My favourite sports to watch are Formula One (as well as a few other motorsport series) and football. The main sports I enjoy doing are snowboarding, football and curling.

#88287 Wii U Price Discussion

Posted by AMAC on 17 June 2012 - 12:13 PM in Wii U Hardware

I'm pretty sure this is simply a placeholder price, so I wouldn't read too much into this. It's just there to give customers a rough idea of what they can expect to pay for the Wii U. I don't know exactly when stores will be told the Wii U's retail price, but I don't think they will until much nearer the Wii U's launch.

By the way, I'm merging this with the official price discussion thread.

#88213 Favorite Songs

Posted by AMAC on 17 June 2012 - 02:25 AM in The Café

These are a few of my favourite songs:
Mr Brightside - The Killers
Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson
Minority - Green Day
Just Drive - Alistair Griffin
Run - Snow Patrol
Someone Like You - Adele
Video Games - Lana Del Rey

#86106 I still believe Wii Sports U is coming...

Posted by AMAC on 09 June 2012 - 12:08 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Well Ubisoft has already made a Wii U sports game so that pretty much eliminates any chance of Wii U sports.

I wouldn't say it affects the chances of Nintendo releasing a Wii U Sports game. The Wii had several third party sports games like that, but Nintendo still published two Wii Sports titles.

I think there's a decent chance of a Wii Sports U game being released as it's a game that would appeal to a lot of people, especially casual gamers. If Nintendo released it as a downloadable title for £10 or less, then I think a lot of people would buy it.
