Reminds me of pet stores.. they sell you the snake at a bargain then mark up the mice you have to feed it lol.
Well its not like a season pass in that its only 13 bucks and you get considerably less content across a lot of games. But you can train them like pokemon in smash 4 and its a lot of fun. Me and my friend train our amiibos, then duke it out 2v2.
Everyones talking about the value of them, all i know is i've resold two marth amiibos for quadruple what i payed for em, there's your value :P
Its only worth it if you have a lot of games. They all do a little bit across a variety of games. Their merit will increase as more games that support them come. I can see an entirely amiibo focused game eventually coming.
Other than that they are just collectors pieces.
Honestly i'll be surprised if yoshi sells well. The game looks fine but yoshi games have never been all that successful, excluding the one which only sold well because "Super Mario World 2" was in the title
It will be great, but i also think its unfortunate that it'll probably not come to PS3. SotC was the PS2's swansong, and the most technically impressive game on the console, and its sad TLG won't be that for the PS3.
It was really weird, i remember a lot of women playing bioshock 2.
@Abizzel
It all depends on how long they choose to support the system. They seem to be in it for the long-haul, but they need to have a lot of faith in their next console before they drop the Wii U, because it is still a source of profit with the high software attach ratio.
Its clear that the wii u is hitting its ceiling for its current price. Games like smash aren't even increasing the sales.
The sad thing is their self-described "conservative" estimate of 3.6 million will barely be met.
Anyone remember how you could switch the faceplate of the 360? I always thought that was an interesting feature, glad to see the PS4 brought it back.
Capcom made the hige mistake of wearing people out by re-releasing SFIV so many times. They did the same with SFII so when Third Strike came it wasn't that big of a deal. The reason SFIV was such a big hit was because they waited long enough and didn't make a billion versions of Third Strike.
"So we can get money."
Oh yeah you are right. Not sure where i got that number from.
Better. Mk8 had 180-190k i believe
Actually, the Wii has sold more at this point. Im sure lifetime the PS4 will pass it since the Wii's legs probably won't be as long
I have little doubt the Wii U will be looked back on favorably by the end of this gen with the sheer number of quality titles nintendo is putting out.
This is the argument nintendo should make as long as they can, but japanese developers in general are nit seeing the return from console's they need.
Im not saying "the game doesnt look so good graphically", im saying "the game doesnt look so good graphically that a rocky framerate is acceptable", people.
Im surprised so many disagreed. Im just saying this shouldnt be a case like dark souls which has a bad framerate (especially at certain points) since the hardware is much more powerful. Like i literally never beat DS2 because i couldnt get past the damn input lag and framerate.
Im not ...
Yeah i've had a pretty meh anticipation for most zelda games, but after ALBW and looking at the design philosophy for the new one i am excited.
As a side note, Captain toad is totally one of my favorite games this year. Really surprised me. Me and a friend just sat and played it all night and it was the most serene, calming game ever. Made me feel like a kid again haha.
@BGH
True. I should have elaborated that i figure the majority of (remaining) NES gamers (that game exclusively to one platform) are on platforms other than the Wii U.
@eighties
First off, Shovel Knight is a homage to the NES era. Those that grew up on games like Shovel Knight are indeed relevant to an article about Shovel Knight. Second, your account isn't even 2 weeks old and you're already risking your bubbles by being stupid. See Big_Game_Hunter...
@monkey
Not that i'm defending Eurogamer, but you're talking big about a game that has yet to come out. Let's play it before we say ANYTHING about it, good or bad.
