I really like famitsu's review scores, they really take games for what they are and the reviews they give for platinum's games reflect that.
However... they also gave resident evil 6 a 39/40 -_- so i will judge W101 off the demo, not them.
Looking forward to this over the new mario tbh.
I think the general consensus is that NO game has offered enough change since they grounded the formula of cod 4 and refused to expand on it.
Off topic but they should make a NES-custom game maker. Like you use the gamepad to select through elements of the game, maybe make your own sprites. Then release custom mario/zelda/metroid nes games through miiverse that can get rated and such. Insert game text to explain a story, use a mario paint kind of system to make your own music.
Obviously youd have to pay for each game you make/play levels for. And the creator would have to beat the game before releasing it to ensure they'...
Hell if it was on the xbox one or ps4 i'd call it a "waste" because the second screen experience would be limited to those with a vita on ps4 and those with a sufficient smartglass client on xbox one. I couldnt imagine using my finger on a non resistive touch screen like the iphone's or ipad's... i think it really is a game best built around the gamepad since it is the most precise and everyone with a wii u has one.

Never said there were a lot of exclusives, just that they were coming out until around 2010. But as someone who couldnt care less about FPS' and crap like killzone and gears, exclusives arent usually my selling point. But dead rising and lost odyssey are 2 worth getting, and if you dont have s good pc there are a lot of console exclusives too.
But when i dont spend 60 bucks a year on live, the fact that almost every multiplat of this gen (which was largely multip...
Street fighter has the longest history on nintendo platforms, i think it should have been made for the wii u too. But anyone whos been playing SF since the snes days probably hates SFIV anyway haha. I personally doubt the game will sell well at all since everyone who wanted to play SFIV already has and most probably wont buy the game again.
No but the price drop will lead to more sales, more sales to more games, more games for more vitas.
So it'll help get games which will sell the system.

They dont consistently stop supporting their consoles. The original xbox had tons of great exclusives (especially console exclusives) until the 360 came out, while the 360 stopped getting a lot of exclusives around 2010. The thing is, MS didnt worry about games as much because they had a great 3rd party lineup. While the ps3 was getting inferior and delayed releases of great games like bayonetta, bioshock, lost planet, orange box amongst others, sony stepped up 1st p...
Because those 32 gigs will need to hold saves, game patches, dlc, firmware updates, virtual console games, and downloadable games. And not only is that a lot of stuff, but the space it takes up is only going to increase. By themselves all these things are insignificant, but together they eat up room fast.
So regardless of whether or not you buy digitally, you WILL need to get an external hard drive in a few years. Very silly for nintendo to push digital distribution and then throw in ...
Hypothetically lets say nintendo left after the wii u (it wont happen just thinking here), the 9th gen would be the best place for this new contender to rise.
They would need to study the successes of the PS1 and genesis, 2 consoles that managed to cut a healthy portion of a market seemingly monopolized by 1-2 companies. Then they would need to pull a 360 and release a powerful system 1 year earlier than everyone else. Thats the only chance they have to break brand loyalty barriers. A...
Cutting corners so they dont lose more money then they are. But at least the wii u is reliable and well built, whereas microsoft was taking out all kinds of screws that basically broke half of the launch xbox 360's.
Either way they're probably at like a 40 dollar loss? Just throw in the extra money for more space since the inevitable NSMBU/SM3DW/WWHD purchase will balance things out anyway.
Question is if this game is going to come in a retail copy or digital with the ...
They need to up the HDD space, honestly. Games will be 25 gigs big pretty soon, they need at least 128 or something.
I used to trust gaming journalism (or at least the consensus on metacritic) but in the past few years it has fallen to a really nefarious, untrustworthy blemish on the face of gaming. Im sure its really easy to give ME3 a 9.5 when your site's banner, side ad, and background are all plastered in ad revenue from mass effect 3, and a honest/negative review would pull those ads.
Also the morons they have employed at ign these days, look at matt from ign, greg from gamespot, mark bozon...
Lazy devs. The online works just fine in the few games they put the effort to include it in.
I could see the wii u becoming a creative haven in a world of big budgets and technical pretention.
The gamecube owners bought good games like viewtiful joe and killer7, at least they bought them at comparitively higher numbers given the ps2 had 6 times the consoles out there.
Too early to tell, but original, quirky games like W101 and bayonetta 2 could sell fair enough on the wii u off their exclusivity and creativity. The no more heroes games did pretty well, for example. <...
Current average is 8.3
Im a bit skeptical. Platinum is only like a 200 person studio, theyre still making MGR dlc, just finally finished W101 and are still working on bayonetta 2. Theyve released 3 games this year + dlc and one's scheduled for next year, if they are working on an xbone game it wont be out for a while.
I hope xbone owners actually buy it. Bayonetta on 360 was superior in every way to ps3 and it still sold half the ps3 ver.
I think the presentation is what's misleading reviewers. They seem to expect it to be a hold-your-hand walk in the park when its made by the people who made bayonetta and vanquish. Im glad the game doesnt baby you and allows you to discover new elements in the combat. Definitely one of those games people will look back on fondly, like viewtiful joe or madworld.
They like all the games platinum puts out.
Bayonetta 40/40
Vanquish: 37/40
Metal gear rising; 39/40
