This was a pretty tough fight at first, but I restarted the day and smoked him, losing only 2 pikmin! If the thing gets ahold of your Pikmin, switch to the Rock Pikmin and dont stop pelting it. If enough damage is dealt he releases his grip on your Pikmin! Another thing is not to be afraid to cut your losses and run! The same amount of damage you have done will remain when you come back to him! Seriously, this game is awesome! Anyone who doubts the Wii U is INSANE!
Sure the t...
Thats interesting you say that. Remember when they first revealed the Wii U name? They actually said Wii to U. Why not just go with that: Wii-2-U. I can see the U sticking more than the Wii moniker, but I am sure they will be fine. If there is room for the Xbox name, there is room for the Wii U name. People will catch on and relaize its a new system once some more quality games are shown. Thats what sells and Nintendo has a pretty solid lineup coming in the next 6-7 months. The 2014 lineup wi...
Once the release schedule is heating up and a couple more title get out there, we will see a drop. I woul also expect an upgraded system or a new bundle soon to go along with the price drop. At one point I also thought they needed to re-brand the console, but I also felt that way about the 3DS. Nintendo proved that they can show the masses that there is differentiation between the two DS's so I am confident they can do it with the Wii U.
I personally still think they shou...

So the millions and millions of people who have bought themselves a 3DS are sick of Nintendo franchises? Last I checked, the 3DS has been the best selling platform for some time now and that is almost entirely consisting of these titles that you CLAIM everyone other than hardcore Nintendo fans are sick of. What are you, 15-16 years old? You are obviously brainwashed.
In what scenario does a company need to come up with something new when they ...
Im sure Sony does this as well. They have the second best first party in all of gaming. Nintendo and Sony think alike in many regards. Great minds think alike and there is a reason why Sony and Nintendo both have such a solid stable of franchises to depend on. Nintendos franchises are just a little more family friendly, whereas Sony has tried to gain the family and adult gamer market.
Wow, 30 Mario games a year!? Every Mario game is different though. Sure the New Super Mario series is getting a little tired, but you cant sit there and say that Mario 3d Land, Mario U, Mario and Luigi Dream Team, Mario Kart, and Mario Galaxy are the same. They are all extremely different titles held together by the common thread of Mario. Yet most gamers these days will play CoD, Battlefield, Halo, Killzone, Resistnace, Shooter D, E, And F and call them all different games because of the NAM...
I dont think they are talking about the Wii U here, its through Nintendo in general. Look at the 3DS. That system has tons of original experiences even if they are part of known franchises. Mario & Luigi Dream Team seems like one of these games. It looks like it does all sorts of crazy new stuff even though it is a Mario game. Nintendo makes alot of stuff that people just consider the same old when its really a lot different than other games in the respective series.
Its...
This game does not need any damn multiplayer. It will just be some tacked on mode anyway and isnt even developed by the team making the game. I really wish devs would stop shoehorning features into games just to have another feature to list on the game box. Seriously,not every game needs a MP component. I will be getting Batman AO on Wii U regardless. Id much rather have some good gamepad integration than some crappy tacked on MP that I will play once and forget about. I do still hope the U v...
Im intersted to see if there are any graphical enhancements over the other versions. Ubisoft has had a tendancy to not enhance its Wii U ports so far, so Im interested to see how they handle this. Also, which version of Watch Dogs, AC 4, and CoD Ghosts will U owners get? If these games are on-par with PS4/X1 versions then maybe people will stop saying the U is so far behind those 2.
You can get some good U games on the cheap right now, so it was a pretty good time to get one at that price! You can build a solid lineup for around $100. I got Zombi U, Most Wanted U, Mario U, Earthbound, Metroid, Mega Man X, Mutant Mudds and Super Mario World all for under $100. dig around online and you can find some good deals.
Interesting read. I like the idea of allowing any employee to come up with an idea and prototype it. Then, if the game is good enough it has a chance to get green-lighted. This is a great way to harness the power of the whole team as everyone knows they have an equal shot at having their idea come to fruition. This is how development studios should function instead of just doing what sells according to the guys in suits.
Hell NO! What kind of crap is this. I cant wait for the big guns to come out and just shut people up. Im not some troll either. I actually play my ps3 more than any other system right now because I am going through my backlog enjoying some games I have been meaning to play. But I enjoy my Wii U quite a bit as well. My kids and I play a lot of Sonic Racing, Mario U, and a lot of the VC stuff, plus the Wii games that we already own. There are still quite a few Wii games id like to play through ...
why does every article regarding the Wii U turn into this massive troll fest with people arguing semantics and sales numbers for ps3 and wii and all of this crap?! Whos gives a damn! You people all waste more time arguing over BS than you spend actually playing games!
Its ridiculous how many people bash the wii U but have yet to actually sit down and play one for more than a few minutes in a store somewhere. I have it, its a great system with a lot of potential that has yet t...
well said. Sony is facing quite a conundrum when it comes to selling games. ps plus has been so good that i find myself buying less knowing it will be availble for plus members soon enough.
I just drink the syrup...
Awesome posts Poprocks! I agree with you! Bubble up sir, it is well deserved!
I knew this idiotic naming by Nintendo would eff up their plans. They actually put out a good system with the Wii U but they not have stuck to the Wii name. Shouldnt they have learned something when the majoirty of people thought the 3DS was just a DS with 3D? I honestly feel they need to rename the thing. They could easily have kepth the U and just called it the Nintendo RevolUtion or something. Amnything is better than using the Wii branding again, and look how thats working out.
...
yea they most definitely need to cut the price. it should have happened this week with pikmin coming out but they will probably wait til september or early october. and they needa deep discount, like $80-100 off. this also needs to coincide with some kind of ambassador program as well like they did with the 3ds. i for one will be pissd if they dont hook me up for sticking this ridiculous spell out. this is a time where it helps being a multi console owner. i feel bad for anyone that only has ...
man i hope ur right. i am so damn sick of analysts and developers saying that mobile games are going to take over. it makes me feel sick just thinking about not having any other option for gming. yuck. imagine if consoles really did die off and mobile games were all that was left.f2p and casual puzzle game and shooter ripoffs with no real value! thats scary...
Sadly, id trust these guys more than some of the other reviewers out there. The game is great, but it takes a little time to "get it." Yuo cant just play it for 5 minuts and make a decisive opinion. It gets better and easier the more you play it and understand how everything works. Its definitely more of an action/strategy game than anything else. And while it may look cutesy, the game can be very unnerving and is actually pretty dark. There is a very dark and twisted sense of humor...
