Soucerer, come on, this is Ubisoft were talking about here. They're not the type to go "Ya we're abandoning this game, there's no sequal" then create a sequel.

I thought it was funny that they claimed they didn't think they were able to do it at first but now they've found a way

Making an emulator wasn't possible, but now it is, didn't you know this?

GTA V: No

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare: No

Assasin's Creed: Syndicate: Maybe

Call of Duty: Black Ops III: Maybe

Battlefield: Hardline: No

Peoples reactions to it are

"OMG This has nothing to do with SMT OR FE WTF WERE THEY THINKING!! Such weeb ****"

"This is so much better than I thought it would be"

In my opinion... it's an entirely new game, not SMT or FE, just a new wii u game.

Well some guy on reddit came out and said he posted this idea to club nintendo.

Yay

A lot of people said it's like your generic Nickolodeon platformer game, And looking at the footage... Nah... It looks dull, basic fighting moves, move on to next area, climb some platforms. No real gameplay until you're in a avarage sonic level. And even then it looks exactly the same as Colours, Generations and lost worlds 2D levels. So i'll be skipping it

i dont like the kind of games that Nintendo makes.

Sell your Wii U and never buy another Nintendo home console again.
The Wii u is for people who want to play Nintendo games, of you don't like games such as Smash Bros, Zelda, Xenoblade or Starfox, then what's the point of owning a Wii U?

I dont see why you are being offended by my topic.
When I bought my console, it was not meant that it would only be Nintendo that would make games.

I don't see how I could be offended by you asking that question, I was simply stating the answer you are looking for.

Never buy a console just because it's another console, buy it for it's exclusives as well as third party, why buy a Wii U just for third party games when you can buy a PS4 or PC for third party AND first party?

And it's sales are fine, it got a huge sale increase after mario kart 8 and is increasing as smash bros gets closer.

Great games, no gimmicks, I don't come to Nintendo for touchscreen or motion control, I come to them for their games and their IP's. The casual market has fled to mobiles/tablets now so gimmicks going to sell the console, and parents who bought the Wii U didn't buy it because of it's gimmick, they bought it because of their IP's. A powerful console that gives third parties the power they need is a must,

 

Also GREATLY improve the online features, a ton of stuff is missing such as party chat, an actual texting system (that doesn't require you to load an entirely different app to do), notifications besides a blinking blue circle on the gamepad (Honestly it made the video chat system pointless since if you tried to call ANYONE, the only way they would know is if they click the home button after seeing the blue dot light up on the gamepad, but it mostly gets ignored because that blue dot also lights up anytime your friend logs on). If you compare the OS of the PS4 to the Wii U, it's pretty poor. If you log into a different Wii U you can't download the games you already own back, meaning if you consistantly buy digital games then something happens to your Wii U, you can't get those games back, it's gone, all £250 is just gone. Hopefully Nintendo's partnership with the japanese mobile company (who do a lot of networking) will help Nintendo with all of this stuff.

 

Simply put, have online multiplayer in All of your games, seriously having a game like Starfox which has local multiplayer NOT have online multiplayer is pretty bad, especially after the critisism Starfox 64 3D got for not having online and that Splatoon has just came out, which is an online game in itself.

Hi! Super Mod Here! Pwease?

I'm not asking to be mod to have fun

I'm asking to be mod so i can get rid OF ALL THEM SPAM BOTS! DEATH! DEATH TO THEM!

I'll play one of their games when it's more................. Niche.

Doesn't that make you a hipster?

How the hell can 30 fps be better than 60 fps IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE?!? I don't even need to explain how it's better, more frames = better. There's no way around that.

Ubisoft has been taking a turn for the worse the past few years...

Is Twilight Princess really 6th gen? I mean it came out on the Wii first so

Big Boss eating eggs

Draw Lonk and Petch

Rule 34 please

The 4DS... My heads hurts trying to think about such a complicated gadget that allows us to see the 4th dimension in a 3 dimension world. Gen 9 will be amazing.

Again, it comes across as laziness, impatience, and/or stubbornness on their part to allow them more time to include more content.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mario Kart 8 charged $50 to $60 upon release as well, the same price that Nintendo is charging for Splatoon, so where you see this price difference I'm not sure. Even if Mario Kart 8 were charging more than that, which I would view are wrong as well, it still doesn't make it okay for Nintendo to charge so much for Splatoon, its focus being the MP, and yet giving us so very little MP content for that initial purchase price.

1. Maybe they're releasing it now because there's no other games coming out for the WIi U now, splatoon can be released now to fill in that gap of no games.

2. In the UK Mario Kart 8 cost £40 at launch, Splatoon costs £25 from certain retailers and £40 for the game, the inkling amiibo and a hat.

This is also Nintendo we're talking about, a company that has been in the video game industry since the 80s, with a lot of people, and a lot of talent, working for them. They absolutely have the ability to give more a helping hand to the group they've put in charge of developing Splatoon. Miyamoto was sent out to help Retro studios when developing the original Metroid Prime on the Gamecube, and look at how it turned out. So it isn't unreasonable to assume they could very well send extra help for Splatoon, especially when it's being developed in house.

Miyamoto is too busy making Starfox so he's out of the question, Retro Studios probably in the middle of a Metroid game so they can't help, Zelda team is working on Zelda, Group 4 is working on Mario Maker.

Also lets put it into perspective, You compart Mario kart 8 to Splatoon saying it has more maps, it takes them 6 months to make 8 maps, 4 of which have are old ones with better graphics. So 4 new maps and 4 revamped ones. And that's when they're focusing on 3 characters, 4 cars and maps. Compare that to splatoon which they created an entire game in a year, the amount of maps makes sense, even more in august, and it's cheaper than mario kart by £15.

So around a 12 hour story with multiple characters, costumes, and other content to unlock in the base game? That sounds a bit more reasonable, depending on how many characters, costumes, and other content there was in the base game.

Splatoon with 8 hours, 2 customizable characters, extra gear/equipment to unlock AND it's cheaper! Even more content with amiibo. You also don't unlock costumes in Hyrule warriors, you buy them with real money.

 

 

Mario Kart 8 is MP focused, but it included 32 maps and 3 or 4 game modes with its initial release, where as Splatoon is MP focused and, though it's charging the same price, it includes only a fraction of that. That's the difference here.

This is splatoons first game, Mario Kart has had 8 games so they know what they're doing with it, and 16 of those courses are just past courses with extra graphics and tweaks. Splatoon has no past games to copy maps off. Nor did they know how to create splatoon or what to base it off. Giving them even less time for content, which comes out later anyway

Well, I'm jumping in to just add ONE thing, because personally This argument seems to be going around in circles/Feedback loops.

They had a year to develop it, most likely because(If someone with actual knowledge of the dev cycle can find evidence) This is the EAD Team who usually works on Mario.

Actually the team working on this is the ones who worked on Animal Crossing and Mii sports/music/resport and Nintendo Land, The people who create the 3D mario games just got finished making Captain Toad and Nes Remixes, The people who made Super Mario Galaxy are making the very minor things (although they co-developed Majoras mask 3d).

Halo in particular is not advertised and sold most on its multiplayer. They focus on the single player and multiplayer in equal measure, and cover both of them extensively. Whether or not other games focus more on single player or multiplayer does not matter. Call of Duty certainly includes many more maps and game modes than Splatoon does on launch, and its focus, like Splatoon's, is its multiplayer.

Call of Duty has had 12 years of games to keep adding content, each game having 2 years of development, where they take the gameplay, copy/paste it, add some stuff and the rest of development goes soley on the single player and maps. Add some new gamemodes in each game and after 12 games they'll have a bunch of gamemodes (12 to be exact if you don't count hardcore). Splatoon is a brand new game and it'll have 5 game modes. It's like comparing Mario to a newly released 3d platformer. You can't expect the new game to be just as good as Mario games right off the bat.

They've no issue with delaying games, as evidenced by their delaying the new Zelda from 2015 to 2016. Why would they not do the same with a brand new IP like Splatoon? One that doesn't have the brand recognition that Zelda does. This seems either like a case of laziness, stubbornness, or maybe a combination of the two, and I find it disrespectful towards the consumer to charge so much for a MP focused game when your MP offers so very little in terms of content.

Again, you can't compare Zelda to Splatoon, all Splatoon lacks is maps which can be added any time after it's release, Since they can easily just keep playing the maps they have now. Zelda has a progressive story which CANNOT be paused because the dungeon hasn't been made yet. It completly haults the players experiance and stops them from doing anything else in the game, they will literally not be able to do anything until an update appears, compare that to splatoon where they have an entire single player to go through (again, 8 hours of content right there, a lot more hours if you count amiibo's), aswell as the multiplayer which you can already play without any bugs or glitches or anything broken, just less maps, Which again will get a ton more when time passes, There's no need to not allow players to not play the game because that 6th/7th/8th map isn't complete. Just play it now, give them it later. Heck it even gives them a reason to play splatoon again if they get bored after the first month.

The $20 is when you buy all of the DLC in one bundle. Were you to buy everything separately it would be around $27 dollars, so you're at least saving $7.00 then. I'm not sure just how many characters and skins, as well as levels, the base game shipped with. If someone could please let me know, I would greatly appreciate that. It's also important to know the average length of the game as well, and any additional content, as to my knowledge Hyrule Warriors is a singleplayer focused game.

The story itself takes around 12 hours to complete, 7 hours if you're rushing through.

If EA or Activision tried to do this, and it's arguable that EA kind of did with Titanfall, then more people would be calling them out on it. It really does seem to me that the reason more people aren't doing so now is because it's Nintendo, and because they like both Nintendo and are excited for Splatoon.

When a company releases a MP focused game, then there needs to be a lot of content there if they're going to charge a full $50 to $60. Were Splatoon focused more on the single player, and its price only around $30 or so, then I would be much more understanding. That isn't the case here, though. While yes, it does have a single player, the focus from the beginning has been the MP. To charge so much for so little content in the mode you've been selling your game on is not okay in my eyes.

 

1. Trust me, Nintendo Haters would be all over this if that were the case, yet the only thing I see them talking about is the lack of voice chat, everything else seems to be ignored.

2. Also you're degrading the single player, a lot of reviewers have loved the single player from what they've played with. It also takes 8+ hours to complete. That's longer than a ton of single player only games that's out there which cost more money. Yet they don't get any hate. You're making it out like the single player is just an added bonus, but it's a huge thing on it's own. Nintendo's just advertising the multiplayer more.

I should also point out that the same people making this are the same people who made animal crossing games and those Mii games (Wii sports, Wii music, Nintendo land etc). They have no experiance in a game of this type before. It's the first time they're making a non casual game. So there will be flaws, which will eventually get fixed as time passes.

How does a game with so little content get a 240 page strategy guide?
