Finally this game is coming out.
I had thIs pre-ordered and paid for back in November or so for a December 2012 release.
Yes it was a launch window game.
So was Pikmin 3. But that was worth the wait.
Side note. ..I wonder if the Wii U wouldn't be such an absolute failure if these were available 7 months ago.

If they did this, then who would buy the game? The name Nintendo doesn't exactly bring up visions of hardcore gamers.
Die-hard fans yes. But not what I consider hardcore.
The system is being shunned by most segments except the initial burst of the die-hards.
The real hardcore gamers are waiting for the Xbone and PS 4.
The wii u is there for the second system crowd.

Wow didn't realise this was ment to be a launch game!
Sad but true. File it under "why the Wii u failed with bad ports and no original games."
Yes . I am bitter because I was duped into tHinking the Wii U would be worth damn 9 months ago.
But I am happy I will get 2 good games before the PS 4 comes out.

Get rid of the gamepad? Are you guys nuts? Even though it is a gimmick it is the only thing that differentiates it from the competition.
The gamepad is not holding up the Wii U. The crappy specs are.
The last thing you want for a system is to split up the community. It is small enough already.
The price cut is coming. They just wanted to milk the early adapter crazies for about a year. More games and a lower price will put them in a stronger 3rd place to start next year.

why dont ign review scores ever line up with the written review?
That is a damn good question. I was wondering that myself.
If a Wii U only game had the same negatives it would certainly not get a 9.2...
But maybe I am just paranoid.
Carry on.

Wii U Hardware
It is my belief that with Nintendo' s choice in hardware the last couple of generations they have made themselves the 3rd choice in most gamers minds.
Some people here seem baffled on why outside developers are slow to come to (or back to) the Wii U.
Last generation I had all 3 systems. I never even considered the Wii for anything other then Nintendo titles. ... for obvious reasons.
History will repeat itself I'm this generation.
The gamepad is more of a hindrance then a benefit in development. Why would a developer want to spend extra resources an oddity that will certainly lag far behind Sony and MS in sales?
I do really like the Wii U. But when Nintendo themselves barley used the gamepad in Pikmin what need is there for others to go the extra mile?
So in short the Wii U will always be the 2nd tier system in most homes and will be there for the Wonderful 101, mario, Zelda...etc

I would like to point out that install base is not everything.
The Wii had a huge early lead in consoles sold due to the popularity of the gimmick. But when the dust settled, the 3rd party games were far more popular on the PS and Xbox.
Same thing will happen here except for the fact the public was not enthralled with this gimmick. We won't even have the benefit of the huge install base.
Nintendo should have made the platform more powerful and more RAM. Price it a bit higher... $400 or so.
Oh well. .. too late now! 8)

if i had not already got a WiiU, W101 wouldn't make me want to buy a WiiU, it's not worth buying when the PS4 is coming out & is only £50 more.
The price of the PS4 is irrelevant. The Wii U IS worth buying due to the exclusive games you cannot play on the other systems.
The TC did not say it was the system to do it all.
By now we must realize the Wii U is rarely the choice if you only want 1 system.
As a second system to supplement your gaming needs it is very much worthy of purchase thanks to games like Wonderful 101.

Here is the deal. Disney spent $100 million on this game/figure collecting travesty. The goal is for you to spend about $400 on what should be a $60 game.Ok what is the deal with these games and those figures? How does it actually work or what do they do? Sorry for the lack of research but I saw a game display and those pricey little figures. I thought they were action figures for little kids but had something to do with the game.
These figures unlock certain "playsets" for you to Run and jump up and down in. Other things unlock cars, scenery and stuff. There is also a sandbox mode . You can look up all this stuff. I lost complete interest when I found out what the scam was.

Wii U is already pretty cheap. I don't see the need for a price cut at all.
I fail to see how $349 for a Wii U with 32Gb of storage and very little RAM and weak processor for this next gen is considered cheap compared to $399 for a PS4 with 15 Times the storage and 8 Times the RAM and faster processor. .. oh yeah. .. and 3rd party support.
They must lower that price to $299 for the deluxe. Toss the other system and actually get those games out to even be considered as competition in this next gen.
I will be shocked if the number of PS4s I'm homes doesn't surpass the Wii U by next June.

The Wii U is cheaper than the PS4 and the lack of 3rd party support on the Wii U has nothing to do with the price tag.
If you're looking for the best value for hardware you should invest blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. ...
Lol the gaming computer. I like spending my $400 on something that is going to last me 6-7 years of good gaming. Is the price of one graphics card.
Gaming PCs are for chumps with more money then they know what do to with. Good for you. Some of us have a budget and don't want to waste money on all that BS you rattled on about.
I pre-ordered the PS4 on day one , just as I did with the Wii U.
I actually like the Wii U for what it is. The Nintendo only gaming machine. There is value in that.
But if you want more then plumbers in red overalls or guys in green Tights it is not a good value.
But gaming pc? Jesus. What a joke to bring that in here.
Talk about irrelevant.

That is hand down the biggest bunch of hooey yet posted on this board. We are supposed to believe a 15 year old motherboard can support a faster processor and have a front side bus speed worthy if whatever ram hes had in there? Let's not even talk graphics cards.My brother has a gaming PC that is over 15 years old now, yet with the occasional upgrade was still more powerful than any console when they launched, even now with the PS4 and Xbox One. I believe he's spent under two grand for it, and way less than the launch price of a PS4, PS3, PS2, and PS1 combined.
Go away.
Let me add maybe he has the same case from 15 years ago and has replaced every part in there 3 Times.

Lol. I know what he said. Only an idiot would actually believe that it would be more powerful than a PS4. And I highly doubt a PS3, but that is more believable.
Wait. .. you didn't actually believe it... did you?
This would explain alot.
Don't believe everything you read on these boards. Especially from PC gaming zealots.

PC gaming costs roughly the same as owning a console.
Google around and you'll learn a lot.
The only thing I found was a shoddy article that gave the Xbox 360 a 3 year life cycle to match when the PC would be outdated and need money for upgrades.
The idiot also included the price of the TV. What a load. 99% of the people already have a TV. So that was just there to skew his numbers.
Basically a joke all around and only proved pc gaming rigs have a 3 year life whereas console will hold up for 6-10 years.
Next.

Let's hope sales after the first few weeks show this was an error in judgment.

Actually the article itself gave the pc rig 3 years before upgrades. It was going for cheap. Not a $5000 rig. Which obviously loses any cost credibility.You can't be serious with that statement. Just because new PC hardware is released constantly doesn't mean the older hardware automatically becomes inadequate to run most games released that generation.
So. Now we know the date of the Wii U price cut.
11/15/2013
Well assuming Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Can the Song be "Cats in the Cradle"?
But seriously. Seems a bit to cerebral. To many steps to keep track of. Most peoples reaction would be like Krusty the Clown after seeing Worker and Parasite. "What the hell was THAT!?"
Now go YouTube worker and parasite.
Plus part of Nintendo's problem is they are stuck in the past. Where are the new IPs? They don't need to glamorize 25 year old franchises. Rehash stuff as always, sure. But don't bank on it.

With the Wii U still selling at a loss (I can't believe that they are still not making money off the Wii U...Nintendo needs to negotiate with their suppliers) I doubt that they would cut the price and bleed their profits even more. I think instead they can make the Wii U a better value; for instance bundling the Deluxe with both NintendoLand and LoZ:WWHD pre-installed on the system, along with a $15-$20 off promotional ticket for the eShop on games like Pikmin 3, The Wonderful101, or LegoCity: Undercover, etc while keeping the system at $349.99. They should do this before the PS4/X1 releases; maybe around the last week of October the latest.
While those are worthy ideas there is still one problem. .. it costs $349 and the PS4 is $399 and looks a much better value. You now get 4 "free to play" games on day one also.
The 3ds had no competition when it was floundering and they still had to cut the price to move the system.
Now Nintendo has two great systems coming out for the holiday to compete with.
They will be lucky to have 20% of the market in the next few years. It is that bleak.
