If anyone wants to add me, my NNID is Phanto.

Just got my copy, had a quick look and compared it to the PS3 demo, looks noticeably better to me, much better anti-aliasing/less jaggies and much sharper looking. I'll be giving it a good blast later tonight.

 

I could look this up through Google, but I'd rather just ask someone here. Are there any online features?

Yeah....I'm not sure about this line of thinking either. So you spent $30-60 on something you probably won't enjoy just for third party support? Would you buy a candy bar you hated just because someone spent a lot of time making it and you wanted to help them? No of course not. They do it as a business and hey, its a great game and I hope you enjoy it, but thats probably not a very good reason at all to spend money on anything.

 

Well, actually, I would buy that candy bar. If I heard there was a candy bar company that actually put thought and effort into creating something that they thought was going to stand out and be different, then I'd be all about buying that candy bar. Those people actually showed they care about what they do. They deserve support.

trophys make the game last longer than expected

 

for example two people buy a ps3 version and a wii u version, which person will sell theres quicker........ that would be the wii u gamer

 

I never sell my games, man. Ever. Plus, I've been playing Batman: Arkham City since it launched, I still haven't done everything there is to do, and there are no trophies or achievements on the Wii U version.

 

So, you're point is invalid.

I purchased this game today, and it is being shipped to my local store for pick-up (free shipping that way). I am very glad to support this developer, even though I'm not really a fan of this series. They have put so much effort into this title that there is no way I was going to NOT reward their efforts.

 

Hopefully I have a few minutes of fun when I finally bring it home. :-) This purchase was all about supporting a developer who actually cares, and not really much else. Here's hoping that voting with my wallet pays off.

I rented this game a few days ago for my PS3 and loved it, would like to get the wii U version, but the PS3 trophies are pretty good.

 

Life isn't all about trophies. In my own humble opinion trophies and achievements are just a gimmick to get you to play the game, even if you don't really like the game. See, they know that if they dangle the carrot out in front of you, you'll just sit there and suffer through the crappy game because if you do you get the carrot. It's really, really, stupid.

Ok, confess! Which one of you took Phanto as your EA Origin Account name? Not cool, man. Not cool! I have a backup identity, but no one gets the reference of Botwoon (If you do get the reference I consider you one of the coolest Nintendo fans ever).

I am not a fan of realistic racing games. I enojy the cartoonish weapons and mayhem too much to go without, but I will definitely be buying this game on the day it releases. Let it never be said I didn't show 3rd party devs support for their hard work and effort to release a quality Wii U title.

...I may even play this game a few times.

I don't want to see a price cut. Not for at lest three years or so...

 

What? I spent hard-earned cash on my Wii U, and I don't need Nintendo to devalue it so close to launch. That money took a lot of effort to earn, dagnabbit.

I am looking forward to everything you listed, and I'm hoping for a few surprises. I know it's not a good idea to get too excited, because two E3 conferences in a row have been huge let-downs, but I can't help it.

 

I just want Nintendo to finally show us what an amazing year they have planned for us!

it's strange to me that people seem to decide what they are buying before they even know anything about it.

 

I have to agree. It doesn't make much sense.

I don't know if this is really worth watching. Any chance we'll see some Wii U titles? EA conference was pretty bland and pointless... except for a few things sprinkled throughout.

The fact that "stylized" graphics were mentioned scares me. When Nintendo did a cartoonish Zelda I was 100% on board. That universe fits the sylized cartoonish look very well, but when you start talking about a cartoonish Metroid game, you've lost me. The Metroid franchise just works best with realistic graphics, and an epic story.

If Retro is working on a Metroid game, and it turns out to be a "stylized" game, I will have a very hard time justifying the purchase. I will probably buy it and I might even enjoy it, but unless they can really impress me with gameplay/story I will find it hard to get past the cartoonish look.

Retro lied about doing a game people wanted them to, no one wanted another donkey kong

 

I did! And I can't wait to play this new adventure. Speak for yourself, man.

I am buying a PS4. Now, that doesn't mean I'm abandoning my Wii U. My plan is that when a multiplatform title is coming to both PS4 and Wii U, I will purchase the Wii U version exclusively. The PS4 is for all the exclusive titles Nintendo won't be getting.

I wasn't going to buy it anyway.

 

It's not that I don't enjoy a good shooter, it's just that these all feel like the same game over and over again. I want a 3rd person shooter that actually feels new and innovative. I want something that will stand out. I supported games like Red Steel, Conduit, and Red Steel 2 because I felt they brought something different to the table. So, where are the game like that for the Wii U?

Oh yeah, this game definitely drew its inspiration directly from Super Mario Galaxy. It looks really fun to me, just hope this looks good to others. I want these games to sell better than most 3rd party games so far.

This is definitely not what I was expecting, but I'm very glad that this is the way things have turned out.

No Wii U games, so I'm buying a PS4. Not at launch... I will wait a few months for a good library to build.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare has just convinced me to buy a PS4.

I have this for PS3 and I was very impressed by it. I am glad it is coming to Wii U. It is funny: You guys whine about ports, yet you want as many 3rd party games on the Wii U. Beggers can't be choosers, you know.

I never complained about ports. I am loving Batman: Arkham City on Wii U. Looking forward to getting Mass Effect 3 in March (when I actually have the money to buy it).

As I am 100% in support of any 3rd party release, I will be buying the game as soon as it launches. I don't even care if it turns out to be a bad port. I'm just giving 3rd party Wii U devs my support.

I think they made the wrong choice.

 

I disagree. This new DK game looks like a lot of fun. I'm excited for it.

DK does look great (maybe even better than great) , but in terms of demand i think a lot of fans are gearing up for Metroid and we just had a DK game come out.
I'm not saying I'm not going to buy it, I'm just saying that i wish they did Metroid.

 

The problem there is that you got your hopes up and expected something else. It's not Retro's fault you wanted them to create something they had no intention of creating.

 

I'm just excited that Retro made what they wanted to make. I wasn't expecting anything else... well Nintendo could force them to do whatever, but I trust them not to hinder Retro's creativity.

With only days left until Nintendo's E3 presence, I hope for only two things:

 

1. Announcement of Pokemon Scramble U to be released in North America, Europe and other regions. Hopefully a release date as well.

2. More information on Yarn Yoshi.
