Hasn't MGS been with japanese consoles? If it comes to the 720, then I can safely assume it will be coming to other consoles.

HD Collection and Rising were on the 360

HD collection is HD collection, and MG Rising is not a MGS.

Point being that MGS came to xbox at a later date, same way MGS4/Legacy collection can his a microsoft console later than the PS3 version. 

Look under the name of the product and it says "by Nintendo"

In the US, Nintendo doesn't sell anything officially on Amazon. So you can only get stuff from third party sellers. Some sellers have knock off products, so it's better to read the reviews. But in the UK they sell officially and that particular product is official. 

Doesnt that new skylanders game announced for wii u use the gamepad nfc?

That's what I would think. Or Disney Infinity. The system was made for those.

They don't though, they come with their own bases.

Here's the thing.  Nintendo obviously held back on a lot of things at e3, because their mission going in, along with alternate plans based on what Sony and MS were doing, was to show gameplay.  Not bullshots, not pure CG reels, not conceptual stuff.  Just gameplay.  That is what they did.  They showed us every game that they have that they were comfortable showing a lot of gameplay, and games that they were comfortable with being played on the showfloor.  The only game that wasn't on the show floor was X.

 

There was no Yarn Yoshi, no SMTxFE, no talk of updates, no talk of hardware, no talk of gamepad, none of that.  They said it was all about the games, and they told the truth 100%.

Well yeah, but we're just wondering if any games use the NFC feature. 

I know you can look up games at Nintendo.com, but it doesn't show prices.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that yes, they put NFC in the controller for a reason and will eventually use it. They either don't have a game yet that does or we're not ready to announce one if they do.

Infinity and Giants both use NFC but come with their own bases even in the WiiU versions.

Yeah. I guess it'll only be for first party games. 

I was thinking about Infinity and Skylanders using it, but they probably make more money selling their own.

Ah well, I am thinking about going all digital when I get my Wii U. Just wanted to look up stuff. Thanks guys

I think Nintendo has completly forgotten about advertisments and marketing, I watch quite a lot of TV and I'm still yet to see an advert for Wii U since it released, I saw one about a week before it launched.

I think Nintendo doesn't want to push the Wii U since there are no games on it yet, so they're holding back I guess? That's the only reason I can think of. 

 

Has anyone seen their new ads. OMG they are terrible! It's like they are trying to sell their system to 8 year olds. For crying out loud When you compare the "We would like to play ads" next to them it make the Wii ads look like AC/DC compared to Justin Bieber! Rant over...

Can you find a link to the commercials? I have yet to see them since I don't' watch TV. Do you see them often?

Prices are shown for VC, and Indie games, and games that are download only... click on the title and find the price in the left column underneath the other game specifics. Prices however at not shown if the game available retail/physical. To find those prices, compare it to suggested retail price found in stores.

 

 

 

Did you even bother to look if the prices were available on the eshop online site? Or, do you just like saying Nintendo is behind with their services at will?

Thanks, but I too think it's backwards they don't have ALL their game prices listed. Maybe an agreement with retailers?

Well according to multiple sources today the DRM functionality has been dropped. So... Cool I guess.

Damage has been done.

Also still $100 more expensive because of the Kinect.

 

At least they're honest. Hope the Wii U sales bump up after this Holiday. 

Thats what Ubisoft said before and then look what happened. Not holding my breath, for all we know next week they will  drop all support for WiiU all together. though it is some nice news out of all this negativity we have been getting since E3 started. 

To be honest I think Ubisoft said that to scare Nintendo into dropping the Wii U price and pushing it hard. If it doesn't pick up by the end of Christmas it could be pretty bad. 

How do the motion control parts work since the pro controller doesn't have it?

I doubt these companies would make their money back from porting games/DLC to the Wii U. That's why they don't do it, there's no bias, just business. 

Errrrrrr unfortunatly in a few years when Devs start using up all 8GB of RAM on the PS4 Wii U probably will fall behind, heck even the Xbox One might start falling behind with it's slower RAM and it's Operating System using up 3GB of it, unfortunatly if you have be brutaly honest I really don't think Wii U was very well futureproofed

I think the Wii U is built for 5-6 years of use, while the other next gen systems are built with 10 years of use in mind. Iwata said the next Nintendo home console and handheld will be essentially the same, so games can be released on both. We'll probably see a new Nintendo console and handheld halfway through this gen that's comparable to the PS4. 

90 percent of the games you buy on PS4 will be on the Xbone. I don't understand people who get both, unless they are rich. 

You will miss out on a lot of games if you don't have any other systems is what his point is, but you'll miss out on a lot if you don't have the Wii U as well.

EDIT: Post above said everything... heh...

I wonder how long they'll port games to the Wii U. Probably as long as they release games cross gen? I wonder if Assassin's Creed 5 will come.

My guess until the games aren't worth spending to port over and they're not seeing a big enough return. Or will soon stop completely when they no longer make any XBOX 360 or PS3 games.

I'm curious when this shift will happen. A lot of the games now require a minimum of 3 million in sales to remain profitable. If they shift a game series to only next gen then they could lose a lot of money. If a game like Assassin's Creed 5 ends up only being next gen, there could only be 15-20 million PS4/Xbones on the market. Typically they sell over 10 million AC games, but I can't see them getting close to those numbers with such a small install base. They're either going to have to support PS360 for years, or at minimum support the Wii U. 

The only reason they require that much money is because they aren't being smart about where the money is spend, 3 Million is a Amazing amount of sales, if you aren't making profit from that, then you're doing something wrong. stop spending development time on putting nose hairs on people and more time working on the gameplay.

I agree, but if a game uses so much of the PS4's hardware (all the RAM) I don't think it can be ported to the Wii U.

 

As long as they sell. That's the answer your looking for.

I suppose. I guess it all depends on this Holiday. On Gaf there's a rumor the Division and The Crew will be cross  Gen. I expect Wii U support from Ubi at least through next year. 

To the bolded, multiplats won't, assuming sales pick up like they should. Exclusives, maybe.

To what you said to me, I think sales will pick up. A lot of system sellers going into 2014.

Yeah you're right, they have a lot of heavy hitters coming this holiday and throughout next year. 

Also, looking at the PS4 and Xbox One exclusives, they don't really impress me to be honest. 

Duh, they aren't doing anything, besides Lego City i haven't seen the Wii U on the T.V since. My guess is they are going to wait until all the big games come out then advertise it.

I think this too. They have a lot of games coming out finally. They better have ads running everywhere for 5 months strait if they want this thing to succeed. 

Fantastic commercials. They should bring something similar to the west...

I saw this article and they will be assessing how much support they will be giving the Wii U this fall. They say that they will figure out future plans in January.

My question is, how many Wii U's will have to be sold? Additionally, how many Ubisoft games will need to be sold on the Wii U to convince Ubi to stay?

10 million Wii Us? 1 million game sales?

Your guess is as good as any. Probably more like the number of consoles sold, the number of various software genres being sold in relation to the other types.

If Watchdogs and AC IV do poorly, but Rayman and Just Dance are high performers, they will reevaluate their strategy.

Alternatively, they have internal return rates set for each project, which translates to a set number of systems and overall attach rate. It must not be that drastic for the multi platform ports, seeings as how they are still supporting the platform this year.

But, the answers you seek coincide with forecasting GDP growth in 16 months along with the Fed's policy changes at the corresponding FOMC meeting.

Well Ubi said that it takes about 1 million euros to port a title. Each game makes the publisher 10 euros (i think, could be 15) per sale. So to make their money back they would need 100k sales per title minimum. 

I wish I knew how well their launch titles on the Wii U did.
