"I thought the Wii was the ps1 of its era" truly hilarious the term casual wasn't even used to describe people till the wii's launch.
"The wiiu has launched with a huge library of decent-strong titles and an increased fanbase off the last gen... sounds like a new ps2 to me."
Not even close, ps2 had phenomenal 3rd party support. Unless nintendo has some special fairy magic to compensate for merger hardware in the wii u.
<...
No complaints so far up to chapter 5(or after you leave the planet), it's nice to see the 360 seriously flex some of it's graphical muscle, definitely one of the better looking games i have seen this yr.
@millzy " I have 160gb model and about 120 gigs of that is game instal data." Wow i didn't think it was that hard of a concept to delete game install data, if your not currently or will be playing that game anytime soon.
It's not the ps3's fault, the owner lacks common sense. This should be a no brainer to even casual gamers.
@badz &mandf thx for explaining it, to stupid people.
Do some people think the ps3 has mand...
Short of uber casuals or gamers that only play nintendo games, even a 32 gb is ridiculously small. - out of all the wii u's sold in it's lifetime this will be a tiny minority, especially if they are used to a ps3 or 360.
Anyone interested dlc or digital games, will see the issue immediately, even 32 gigs will get filled up fairly quickly.
How many people would just use it for game saves. It's external i wouldn't go lower than 750-terabyte dri...
"In the eyes of gaming journalist and Sony/Microsoft fanboys, no matter what Nintendo does, its wrong." And in the eyes of nintendo fanboys nintendo can do no wrong and only ms and sony copy ideas.
If you want to single out another group as terrible, first make sure your group isn't just as bad as the ones you try to demonize.
"Is that really that bad?" Considering sony offers it for free, it ain't that good either. Why should i pay twice to access the same content on the 360, that is just greed on ms's part.
Why is a newbie accusing people of being a biased sony gamers, when they themselves are likely just another multi-account troll.
I'll save people the trouble of defending live, it's because ms has 360 gamers by the balls and they need their online gam...
"So sick and tired of these obsessed fanboys stinking up the WiiU articles."
So which group are you referring to the nintendo guys that crucifix anyone that doesn't praise everything nintendo says and does as brilliant and innovative or the guys that troll them.
What the hell are you bitching about, if either side goes away your articles will be virtually ignored. Although it's very safe to say i know who your calling obsessed fanboys, and w...
@scofios Yes it was the weakest of the bunch, but you had alot of talented devs that made kickass games despite the limitations.
To all the people downplaying the importance of power look at the wii's lineup vs the ps3/360's lineup. Really are you people this dense? Sorry it's not even a contest.
You can sit there and scream retro pride ect all you want, but new generation games should take advantage of more powerful hardware.

Right and all the recent marvel movies having good to incredible sales played no part whatsoever in disney's bottom line getting better. Since when does disney make any games that are worth mentioning, they are a film giant, video games not so much.
Lol at the social and mobile gaming enthusiasts. When the casuals find the next popular thing will you all finally shutup.
When i hear ea and activison are pulling support for the consoles, then i'll pay a...
Who seriously expected this game to put up big numbers, it's a very niche title. I can't say for certain but i would put this games dev cost, at well below what the average third party big release typically costs.
Nothing is especially modern or high end minus the movies or cutscenes, i could be wrong though, it's a good game but the repeated abductions and ufo crashes. Gets tiring after a while that and the battles are 25-45+ minutes, if you want your people to a...
Also nearly double the cost with piss poor controls and mindless 5 minute casual games only. Yeah truly a better buy./s
Will you mobile gaming retards leave n4g and go back to worshipping apple.
@all
"Mario is over 20 years old" Yeah and it's still stuck in the mid 90's, with no real story line, no personality or soul for the gamer to connect to. Just like zelda.
Gaming has evolved since the early days when these games were first born, those franchises have evolved. Nintendo hasn't evolved it's games with the times.
"Selfish pigs gamers are." 1. Your delusional if you think you are exempt from that...
"From what i played it offered nothing that new and just felt borig unfortunatly"
Do you have any idea how foolish a statement this is to make as a gamer. I could rip into a just released blockbuster title for the 360, with the same exact mindset. It offered nothing new or unexpected so it is a bad game.
This whole mindset needs only 2 words fucking duh.
Its simple really if ms is charging for the privilege of online play, it better be as flawless as possible. Like any paid service.
Why should psn be flawless it costs sony users nothing extra, that comment was likely aimed at the people who rave about how much better live is versus psn.
I have used both, still not impressed enough to pay an extra $40-50 for live, it's better but it isn't like going to valhallah like some people act like it is.

@ziggurcat
Yeah except to brag to ps3/360 owners how much more powerful the wii u is compared to 7-8 yr old systems.
The gameplay over graphics chanting will quietly be swept under the rug, when a next gen mario, zelda or metroid trailer is shown and nintendo fans start talking about how amazing the game looks.
I have yet to read anyone describing this magical gameplay that almost every nintendo guy shouts to the heavens is the most important...
Pc is not comparable to consoles in that there is no such a thing as a next gen pc, they all can be completely gutted and rebuilt with the latest and greatest hardware. Consoles have to launch a completely new generation to have more powerful hardware.
Only pc components are thought of in terms of generations and that is typically video cards and processors ect.
I disagree.
Plenty of multiplatform gamers, act no better than single console fanboys. And alot of people claiming to be "multiplatform gamers" never seem to comment on any popular titles from the ps3 or 360 library. That strikes me as odd for a gamer.
But then again there are some 2012 posters with almost half the # of comments in less than a yr than i have being here for 4 yrs.
N4g really doesn't have that many interesting art...
"Yes, I own both a PS3 and a XBOX... GET OVER IT!" Lol like anyone really cares if you have both consoles or not.
I have to laugh at the overly proud multiplatform gamers, that want a cookie because they think they are special. Alot of people have both systems, it's not worth being dramatic about it.
Actually it would be money not space.
Then you have the 15 yr old precious individual the next post down that shows the worst exa...
No thx i am still waiting for my 6th archstone dlc.
So what happened to the powerful next gen nintendo console, that we heard all year round was going to destroy the ps3/360 according to nintendo fans.
It's supposed to be a next gen console, not a current gen one with very slightly better hardware. Nintendo cheaped out on hardware yet again, shocker.
Chronologically it's a weak current gen system posing as a next gen system. The ps3/360 are also weaker, but the difference they were released at the begi...
