I would love to see a proper F Zero game, and I actually think that one is possible. As far as my off the beaten path wish here it goes. I would like to see Silicon Knights revive Eternal Darkness and turn it into a full blown RPG in the same vane as Dark Souls. Imagine a brutally difficult action RPG with insanity effects and a killer targetting system.

for wiiU, lack of advertising. wont mean much till next E3, and the adds that go with it.

I don't know about that man. The more installed base that Nintendo has before the other new consoles are shown at E3 the better.....they need to get on it and not waste the early start.

The good news is that Nintendo did the same thing when the 3DS launched, and now look at it catching fire. Of course the Vita was far less of a threat than the new Xbox and PS4 will be so Nintendo better start earlier this time.

From what im hearing and seeing the wii u version will not be out on the 12th of feb like the other versions It will be a little later like march I think nintendos so called launch window. The game was not even listed on amazon for the wii u and on gamestops website it just has the place holder date of 12 31 12

Man are you serious.....if the WiiU version is done with the others and they don't release it same day that will be dumb as hell.

well for starters the wiiu version is different cause of the gamepad functions. Your game pad is the beeping rader like in the movies for aliens which is really cool but it should be werth the wait if we have to wait a lil longer.

I'm sure it will be the best version, but I want the commercials for launch to be able to say "now available on WiiU, PS3, and 360." Nintendo needs to be able to show the public that the WiiU exists because a lot of people have no idea what it even is.

Yep it sold quicker then the 360 and ps3 at launch so Nintendo clearly should be worried about that.


I seriously doubt the best version of this game will be on the wiiU. I may be wrong but I would say as is the case with nearly every fps it will be best played on pc.

That is the amazing part......it was done with next to no advertising. Of course I think that the 360 would have slaughtered the Wii U's numbers if they would have had the luxury of matching supply with demand. They still cannot rest on their laurels because I really want to be able to purchase most of my third party stuff on the WiiU, and hold out on yet another new console purchase for as long as I can.

As for the PC comment. I had no idea that someone had developed a tablet controller for PC gaming

Well yeah, it IS the 3ds game. Thats the way the franchise rolls. They will NOT make one ground up for modern consoles, like, ever. The last one they did was tri on wii, and thats because they canceled it for ps3 to bring it to wii since it was basically a souped up gamecube, and making a title that was on the high end of wii production values costs a fraction of midrange production value ps3 games.

Thats why the pc game, monster hunter frontier, still has ps2 graphics, just in hd, and the ps3 game is the psp game in hd.

I totally think most people should be just fine with one version or the other.

Im actually really really impressed with mhu's 3d on 3ds. As soon as i saw the capcom logo animation it was like a slap in the face that the 3d made a megaton improvement over reveleations, which was a megaton improvement over everything else available.

But... the wii u version has online and crossplay, so im going to have to find some kinda deal on it.... Right now all ive found is half off the ds game with the purchase of the wii u game... I want better than that.

Maybe ill just wait until wii u version is used for like 20 bucks, then transfer my 3ds game onto it and hop online XD.

Yeah that is why I guess it is probably better to support the handheld version if you are only going to buy one at retail, but $20 for the Wii U version sounds about right.

I really hate to say it, but I think the game plays well on the Wii U, but I'm not at all impressed with how it looks. I was planning on getting the 3DS and Wii U versions, but I just cannot justify enough of an upgrade over MH:Tri on the Wii to pick up both. It is the 3DS version for me only.

This is ridiculous. I question every one of these threads and why you are on this forum. Obviously your not Nintendo FANS if your this fickle. If your playing video games for graphics, buy a PC and GTFO. At least wait until we see side by side comparisons of games out on the Wii U/PS4/720 before you complain about the Wii U being under powered. This is getting ridiculous. For all you people moaning about Nintendo being left in the dust or dying and less powerful wah wah wah, sell your Wii U and go join the PS4/720 forums please. Do us a friggan favor.

That is not entirely fair man. The OP wasn't really hating on Nintendo....third party support is a definite concern with the WiiU, and I think that most of us would agree that we buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games and third party games are gravy. Also, he never mentioned the PS4 or 720 in his post. I don't think he is a hater.

I'd have to say the PS2 hands down followed by the N64.

I'd have to say the PS2 hands down followed by the N64.

I put mine up before the European launch, so for all the new owners from here mine is BeMore. Go ahead and add me for ZombiU and BLOPS.

Hey guys I'm all set up now, and my ID is BeMore. Everyone is welcome to friend me!

Yeah no solvents of any kind....just use one of those chammies that they give you to clean eye glasses.

Luckily the Wii U games that I have(Zombi U, BLOPS, NSMBU) are the kinds of games that I play for like an hour or so at a time because Far Cry 3 is getting all the marathon sessions right now.

Dude posts like this just piss people off on a site like this, so I'm not sure what the point was. As far as your decision goes to purchase one in the first place it sounds like it was beyond uninformed. You knew what games were announced for launch, and you knew what games were announced for the launch window. The only one to get bumped so far is Pikmin, and the fact is if you don't want to see that great game get all the polish that it needs in order to be a AAA title then you are foolish. It's been over 10 years since Pikmin 2 came out, and the series DESERVES that extra time. you already have two other consoles to keep you busy during the post launch wait for Wii U games, so just do what I have done.....shuddup and play ZombiU, NSMBU, BLOPS 2, Halo 4, and Far Cry 3.

Just because the Nintendo Direct didn't reveal anything doesn't mean there aren't big games coming. Not everything gets announced early and Nintendo in particular have a tendency to keep things secret until nearer the time of release. In general they aren't typically very forthcoming about information on upcoming releases. I suspect there will be more announced in the months to come. I suspect Nintendo is giving third parties a chance to release their games without stiff completion from AAA first party titles and to try and gain as much support from as possible.

Well put and I'll add one more point. The console has already gotten some pretty serious mature 3rd party games, and I really feel like that is gravy. Everybody that has owned Nintendo consoles in the past knows that it is very possible that they will be playing the waiting game for all of the AAA Nintendo franchises to drop. The only Nintendo title that really borders on cookie cutter and rushed nowadays is the New Super Mario Brothers series, and we got one for launch. Nintendo will delay a product in order to make it epic, and if someone doesn't know that then they don't know Nintendo.

I cancelled my preorder just for this reason. No one here will agree with you, all you are going to hear is "Wow, you sold it, you'll regret it.", but I understand exactly why, just like you the only reason I bought my 3DS is for Animal Crossing, where is it? Oh yeah, 2 years about and still nothing. Wii U at this point is a waste, I'd rather wait to MAYBE get it later once solid games come out.

Nah I think most people here don't understand why he bought it in the first place or why he would post it here.

I absolutely love this game, and am cherishing my demo play throughs.  I'm not having any trouble pulling off unite combos, and if anyone is having trouble with the controls it is easy just to stay put in the beginning and practice your moves before facing off against actual enemies.  I do have one move that I have yet to be able to execute though.  Does anyone have a sure fire way to execute the unite chain?  I get the sword every time I try.

Agreed on all counts.  Kinect is actually pretty sweet.  There's no reason to knock a good thing just for the sake of defending your preference.  

I actually love the concept of the Kinect, but I do think that perhaps MS put too many of their eggs in the Kinect basket.  They could have been putting their resources to better use by funding exclusives.

So when is the first system seller for Wii U coming out?  Nintendo is either going to get hammered over the holidays or it will be a wash if people take a "let's wait and see" approach on the PS4 and Xbox One.  Either way there is little doubt that they should have released the console after some of the heavy hitters were farther along in development.  There is not much point in launching first if you will have nothing to show for that lead.

I don't know all of the dates. I'll check later. But I know Wonderful 101 is coming in Sept. I think with all the super hero movies a super hero game will do well.

 

Oh yeah I'm definitely getting that game, but I really don't expect that it will move many consoles.  It seems entirely too quirky to be a system seller.

It better be good since I preordered it. Seriously, even if the game has a little repetition with the starting weapon I don't think it will be a dealbreaker. Look at Dead Island. It felt like all you did for hours upon hours was beat Zombies with melee weapons, and it was still fun. All of the videos have stressed that there is plenty of exploration to be done, so I cannot imagine that it will be totally linear either.

Oh. I was confused for a second.

It's not deniable that the launch titles of the PS4 and 720 are going to look better than Wii U exclusive titles, the 720 and PS4 will be using 2012 hardware. Quality wise though it's mostly going to be ports of Wii U games, 360 games, and PS3 games. God of War 4 and Uncharted 4 won't be launch titles, quit in living lalala land.

Exactly....that is very wishful thinking. Also, I would imagine MS will not have Halo 5 if their new console is coming out this time next year.

This is whay I said it depends on what you like. What does Nintendo have? Mario games, Zelda, Donky Kong. None of which I like much. Not to say they are bad games for some. I can understand why some like them, but to me Halo, Forza, Gears, PGR, Fable, Shadow Complex, etc.are better games. I am lucky to have all the systems, so am not pinned down if an exclusive comes out for the Wii U.

Ah I gotcha. I guess that is why I'm going to pass on the NextBox. The three I mentioned are the only ones that I would be holding out for, and I'm not as enamored by Halo 4 as I was by Bungie's versions. I will not be able to do without the PS4 though because of their exclusives, and even if Nintendo has a similar fate with 3rd party devs like past generations I'll have that covered with Sony.

As for exclusives I have to go Sony, MS, then Nintendo. But this will always depend on what you like. This is why I have all the systems

MS ahead of Nintendo for exclusives? Whaaaaaaat? Halo, Forza, and Gears.....what else is there?
