I'm not selling my PS3, sorry but the Wii U's not that good. As for people like my bro who even though they like Nintendo's first party offerings they prefer having a bigger mix of third party they don't have much of a reason yet except for Killer Freaks and Lego City Stories. A lot of them would buy the Wii U if there was a HD Zelda on the table. The Wii U is doing well though by getting games that the other consoles get Arkham City, Metro: Last Light etc it just needs something a little more now.

Since they are having a brand new animal crossing for the 3ds I dont think it will come out for awhile. Besides, I prefer portable animal crossing, so I can play it anywhere I want.

This.

The 3DS Animal Crossing will probably keep me going for quite a while so I won't be too upset if we don't see it for a long while.

RIP Link , let us mourn his passing by selling all our Legend of Zelda games.

Mudkipz!

Cool story, bro

Granted but none of them ever work

I wish there were more hours in the day

Banned because I haven't seen it either

AMAC you's so mean we hadn't even got to number 2

I prefer the 3DS version for one reason, I just love moving the 3DS to aim, it works absolutely perfectly.

It will be interesting to see if they turn these words into an actual game. Red Dead Redemption was a brilliant game so it would be great to see something along the lines of that coming to the Wii U.

I think I'm one of the few who prefer Battlefield to CoD so I'm pretty happy that it's coming to the Wii U. Not surprised as EA seem pretty serious about the Wii U at the moment. Hopefully Mass Effect will come as well.

Just got a reply, Chris says that he got it from Wikipedia, but he's skeptical though.

Yeah...

How could he use a Wikipedia source? He should have used the source that the Wikipedia editor used as their source.

Another wish of mine is that it came in black, I would so love to have a black one of those controllers, oh well...

I'm going to completely opposite most and APPLAUD Ubisoft for doing this. With the growing cost of video game development, the amount of money made has to be higher... Which means they need more sales. However, a large chunk of those sales (Much MUCH more than Piracy) get lost to used game sales, in which the devs make no money and therefore must accommodate this through other means...

Three methods so far:
1)The infamous DLC. ("What's that? You want to buy the game cheaper, simply because someone else has played it? WELL FINE, then we'll only INCLUDE half the game MUHAHAHHA")
2)The misinterpreted (But potentially valid) Save locking. ("Hmph, you want to buy a game used? Fine. We'll make SURE that it's used, though.")
3)The newest, Forcing Full Price. ("You want to buy the game $10 cheaper? Ok, but we're going to knock off $10 worth of content until you decide to go full."

Now, out of those 3, which is the most fair? The third one only really affects used gamers and gives much better support to the companies, while the other two hurt everyone and bring bad rep.

The third is also the most awkward, let's say I want to take Driver: San Francisco to a friend's house that means we can't go online with it unless he pays ten dollars. It makes things complicated. It also lowers the worth of used games which means people would get a lot less money selling them because stores would devalue them. A lot of people sell games to pay for their next system, if this thing spreads then they would get a lot less when buying new consoles.

I definitely want to pick this up but out of third party offerings I'm more interested in Darksiders II at the moment.

I think its fair comment that iphones etc will erode the market share of portable consoles and to a lesser extent home consoles. Which means less money will be available for Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony to fight over. It wouldn't surprise me to see one of these 3 exit the console hardware business in the next couple of years which would be bad for consumers. Microsoft has deep pockets so I think they are safe but both Sony and Nintendo are vulnerable I think. At least if Nintendo pulls out of hardware I think they would become a software publisher like Sega.

I think there is a lot resting on the success of Wii U and PS4.

Erode the market share is one thing but it seems as if he is supposing that the iphone could replace console gaming. In the sense that people wouldn't buy consoles and a phone, just the phone. Play games on the phone when they're out and about (handheld) and then connect it to the TV when they're at home (console). I guess it will depend whether they can get games with beautiful visuals such as FF13 on the iPhone.

Yep, the Wii U does need third party titles, they don't necessarily need to be exclusive but it helps. Lego City Stories is exclusive to the Wii U. The only other platform it is coming out on is the 3DS. There is also Killer Freaks and that's about it for now.

And yes, the Wii U cannot survive on first party titles alone, even Iwata admits that. Operation Rainfall is an example that people are not content with just playing Kirby and Zelda and Mario and the same Nintendo stuff sometimes they would like to play other developers games using their Nintendo console.

It certainly does look like good news for Nintendo and the 3DS. Is there a reason why Sony have pushed the Vita back to 2012? It doesn't seem to make much economic sense to me.

It's coming out by Christmas in Japan, so why not the rest of the world? What's Sony thinking? They're letting their biggest competitor have the holiday crowd all to themselves (except in Japan).

Anyone have any stories that articulate the reasons Sony's delaying the Vita in the Western markets? I imagine it'd have something to do with either localization or projected launch titles, but is there any official explanation available?

I have no idea why they would choose to do that :/ , the only thing I can think off is the Vita is not fully ready and they have been analysing people's reaction to the 3DS launch. They probably don't want people to say the Vita launch was crap and rushed like people were saying about the 3DS. They just want to bide their time and make it perfect with Uncharted, Wipeout etc ready at launch.

I think Ice Climbers deserve a super duper come back like Kid Icarus did, it would be great if the game actually had a plot and that there was a big bad guy.

That would be great if they gave it a comeback like Kid Icarus but if they didn't I would settle for an eshop title as at least it's better than nothing at all.

I don't think it will has the game will have a lower resolution on the 3DS so that might free up some space. Also, I want to be able to save extra music, stages, trophies, stickers, etc. on my SD card and receive stuff (mentioned before) over Spot pass. It might actually be cool if the SD card was put to good use for that...

It would be great to get that sort of stuff over SpotPass , I might actually be looking forward the 3DS version more.

Ever heard of Spell Check?
Anyways, these won't make or break the WiiU. Something that could break it is confusion of the system with the Wii and Negative feedback based on the wii

That's why they shouldn't have Wii in its title at all, causes a lot of confusion

It would be great to go outside with your 3DS collect information from other 3DSs and then give it to your Wii U. Or if you could walk, earn some play coins and spend them in Wii U games.

How funny would it be if it just switched to enemies from a different Nintendo franchise after a certain rank. You get to the highest ranked Mario enemy, you think your finished with the ranking, then you get a rank like "Octorock" or "Waddle Dee" or "Metroid".

I'd love to be a Waddle Dee they are awesome XD
