That's why EA is being such an annoying 3rd party that went as far as making public statements that deteriorates WiiU's image early in it's life cycle. Even if those statements were true (which many recent games are proving wrong), it's still a very bad practice for a company to suddenly say bad things about a long time partner.

EA seems to be a very evil company. Too bad it makes good games. I don't want to support them. I'd rather support Ubisoft's poor work. I don't like any of EA's games anyway.

What do you mean by "joining a city"?  How does that work and what are the cities for?

Cities are how you find groups.

For early gamers, you go online and enter one of the "Free" servers. "G-rank" servers are for end game players. This game has a huge replay value after you reach end game. That's why the "G-rank" servers are so full. Everyone spends time there making new end game weapons and armor.

When you pick a server, you'll find the arenas. Those are just to split people in groups of 100. Inside the arenas you can create cities.

Cities can contain 4 players. The 4 players hunt together. You should always try to find cities that match your desires. If you want to farm Rathalos for materials, search for a Rathalos city, for example. That way you'll be always playing with people that share your goals. You can start new cities too if you didn't find any already open that matches your goals.

Don't worry, there's still hundreds of people playing.

I strongly suggest that you first play through the offline a little bit (at least until rathian).

If you find it hard to grasp the first concepts (because the game won't tell you), talk to people or watch let's plays on youtube. There's a lot of let's plays that cover the basics of the game.

Remember to look for people of the same rank as you when joining a city. There are three tiers of dificulty: low rank, high rank, and G rank. Look for low rank cities and have fun!

Well, wiiU's install base is very low at the moment, but there is a chance that it will grow strong now that their big games are being released in the course of three months (Wii sports, wii fit, wii party, zelda, dkc, mario). Because of that I think that many games will be played late in their lifecycle.

I've seen a lot of new wiiU owners buying games like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and New Super Mario Bros U, which were released quite some time ago, but are exclusives and amazing games. W101 may be a release failure, but it can grow strong with time.

Seriously, I consider this game the big change in the WIiU's life cycle.

First, Nintendo is releasing a framework, not a game. You'll download pieces of the same software. That means that today, unlike in the past, they are able to release brand new sports whenever they find it's ready for deployment. And that people that just bought a wiiU can pick their favorite sports for $10 and play online.

Second, Tennis was my favorite sport in Wii Sports and I hated two things:

1- I had to play alone or wait until my friends came over. They solved that with online gameplay.

2- I had much better controls in Wii Sports Resort's table tennis. They solved that giving it motion plus too.

Now the question: why nintendo didn't release every single game in the package?

Simple, as we saw in the old e3 videos, golf and baseball will use the gamepad. Gold will have the ball in the gamepad while baseball will aim with the gamepad. Or at least, these are the options they were researching back then.

Because these games will have big changes, they are holding them for later. They released two popular ones and will release the new golf and baseball whenever they think the controls are good or the audience demands it.

Now about boxing, I'm not really sure. I don't see motion plus helping boxing at all, because the nunchuck doesn't have it. But I know it's a popular game too, so a lot of people will buy only to be able to fight other players online.
