My Wii U is a console that sticks around for a few weeks every year and then it goes back to not existing. Smash Bros. will probably have the Wii U owning the HDMI cable for a lot longer than previous games, but as of this moment I can't say I like or dislike the system. (Hate the investment put into getting it day one though... Yeesh.)

There will most definitely be a PS4 in my future, but the poll option I'd need to put a vote in would be too specific to be worth adding. 

A lack of Persona 4 Golden in that list.

Also check out (in no order): Soul Sacrifice Delta, Toukiden, Super Crate Box, Danganronpa 1 and 2, Rogue Legacy, SteamWorld Dig, Minecraft, Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Hatsune Miku Project Diva f, Spelunky, Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational, Tearaway.

Personal favorites? Soul Sacrifice Delta, Danganronpa's, Persona 4 Golden, Project Diva f and F2nd, and Spelunky. Minecraft was on the list, but then I got the PS4 version and I can't go back.  :P

You're telling me that this entire forum doesn't have a single thread for either The Last Guardian, a Final Fantasy VII remake, OR the news of Shenmue 3?

smh thewiiu.com

smh

Be honest, who actually believed the rumors that were going around in the week leading up to all of those? Because SHOOT man, that those were actually true, I don't know what not to believe anymore.

I was never hyped up for TLG, but knowing that it actually exists and is really, truly releasing is insane. Like, if it can release what can't?

Haven't played FF7, so I'm definitely looking forward to trying the remake whenever it comes out later on down the road. Not too optimistic on no word of release frame, but 2017 sounds about right for a guesstimate.

And finally, Shenmue 3. A sequel to a game from fourteen years ago. I don't even know what genre the game is, but that the modern world can allow such a thing to exist through things such as Kickstarter. We aren't in '01 anymore, folks. You could probably pull a Sega and release a new console with only a month between announcement and launch. It's that crazy. Anything can happen.

Discuss the games or something, I don't know. The forum just needed an outlet for these since -- you know -- it's only TLG, FF7R, and Shen3

Quite a bit of engrish in that sales pitch... And Swipe Knight really does sound like an attempt to ride on Shovel Knight's success.

Anyways, best of luck to you in getting it funded. 

I'd either wait it out and get a New 3DS next year, or do some further research into the Vita and go that route. If you're open to Craigslist/eBay you can pick one up for ~$150 in bundle deals with a memory card, case, and maybe even a game. I absolutely love my Vita, but the games I have on it are, admittedly, not for everyone. My most played games are Persona 4 Golden and Project Diva f, lol. But there's a number of titles that I could highly recommend if you're already in the ecosystem.

ALSO SHOVEL KNIGHT ON VITA GET HYYYYYPE

Triples profit estimates. That last bit is the operating word. It's also pretty clear that the billion figure is in yen. Quick math will show that immediately.

I'm assuming it's ScareScraper mode in an arcade cabinet. 

Which sounds awesome.

The last bit that you bolded Is literally the same thing he said months ago. But you sit there and laugh at silly GAMER1984 for not clicking the link -- what a fool he is. 

sarcasm, in case that didn't come across

Wait what?

Pretty sure he just means "isn't the Top Dog." In which case, he's correct. N64-on has had other competition to deal with that are much more dangerous than Sega.

As we delve deeper into this new generation I can see Xbox and PS4 gamers buying Wii Us as a secondary console due to the exclusives. It's already the most cost effective option and down the live even more so.

 

If that is the case maybe third party developers will contemplate some possibilities.

Only issue there is that by then third parties would be looking forward to the next system. The Wii U has been out for almost two years now. Let's assume we're seeing a five year lifespan before things wind down for a new console the year after. Games can easily take a year to make. If people buy the system, say... one year from now, we're looking at a low ONE year of full exposure on a system that is soon to be replaced.

Anyone developing for the system right now is who you'll be seeing developing for the system in its final days. Nobody is going to "jump in" at this point. That's why Nintendo's floundering about in the Wii U's early days was such a poor move. And really, the mistakes were made before even then with the Wii's last year. You know, the year basically nobody developed on the system. If Nintendo had given developers even an early Wii U devkit at this time, things would be massively different right now. But instead there was an awkward lull where nothing really happened... or was happening. It was just an empty time for Nintendo's home console front.

First off, I highly agree with Leland. You are stretching yourself out way too thin here. It's difficult to focus down onto your market whenever said market is actually three. The goal of $6k also seems pretty low for so many things; and that can easily drive away interested investors. I mean most games on Kickstarter ask for at least a thousand. Yet here's a guy claiming that for only $6k he can get three fully-fledged games to be a reality, make a new tablet, and open up a brand new ecosytem? It seems far-fetched. I don't think you should choose an exorbitant goal, but you should definitely find something more reasonable.

Now just a few quick opinions. So like... 

The Very Unique App Store will be used to buy special games of my vision, created by me, on PC.

this line. Right here is where I lost interest. Look at this from a consumer's stand point: everything out there is special, everything is created by someone, and most every game is made on PC. You have already lost the game of garnering interest. Your headlining points are, simply put, nothing special. And that's no good.

Sounds boring, huh?

I've probably put you to sleep by now?

Don't do this. You don't want to down talk your product. Ever. You notice that in ads on television everything is always the best of its kind? That's because nobody wants something worse than what they have. They want the better. They want the best. Don't lie, of course, but talk UP your product. What it brings, what it excels in, why we want it.

I also don't think that the potato salad joke is much of a help either. Too much of a meta joke... also it's redirecting attention to other Kickstarters.

If I'm being honest you really should completely re-do the whole thing -- as three separate things. Two at the VERY least. 

Zelda and Monster Hunter look great. Probably won't spend the money on them unless they're cheap ($1).

from mario kart ds nothing new

Except it is new, as it's the first we've seen of the mystery karts in the DLC pack.

Loved it in Mario Kart DS, love it here. Slick, simple design.

Nintendo is better off without Ubisoft

Oh, most definitely. Nintendo don't need games on their flopping system.
