I've been a big fan or both Mario and Sonic, but to be honest if you compared Mario's 3D platformers with Sonic's it's no contest, Mario was always better. But this is the first time i'm more excited for a 3D Sonic game than a 3D Mario game.
Sonic Colors sold more than Sonic Generations. Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed sold about as much on the Wii U as it did on the PS3 and 360 despite the PS3 and 360 having a combined install base of 150 million as oppose to Wii U's install base of 0. Face it, Sonic games sell more on Nintendo platforms. Who knew Nintendo fans like colorful mascot platformers?
Your post? Yeah, it's pretty sad...
Looks good. While my dream for Wii U was to be the ultimate system with first and third party games, if the Wii U can become my Nintendo + Indie machine along with a few exclusives here and there (like Sonic & Bayonetta) i'll be content.
It appears that Fish has indeed "choked" on it.
As much as this may make me sound immature, as someone who was blocked by Phil Fish for simply asking a question, I get extreme satisfaction from this. I know I shouldn't, but I do.
I don't want to say this, I know people will think I wear some tinfoil hat. But at this point, as crazy as it sounds, part of me believes these publishers truly want their Wii U versions of games to fail so they can say why they don't support the system later. Because that's the only reason I can come up with to explain this s*it.
Rayman Legends on Wii U costs more, Deus Ex on Wii U costs 20 dollars more, same goes for Angry Birds Star Wars. And there's no rea...
I'm just not a fan of the whole "me too" "we gotta look like Apple" craze. I know some people didn't like it but I thought the XMB was pretty good. If it ain't broken don't fix it. BUT, if it's functional and not a pain to get through, i'll get use to it as most people will. I don't think anyone's decision to buy a console hinders on the UI... at least I hope not.

Don't know why it took Activision so long to announced COD on Wii U considering every retailer was listing it since March/April. But still, good for the Wii U. I may not be interested in any of these games but it's better than no support.
To be fair these are titles coming out this Fall and if I remember correctly Destiny isn't coming out till next year.
Did I not say "at launch"?
I see a lot of people saying "Well the PS3 was more expensive than the Wii U" as their excuse. But really, it doesn't matter if it's 600, 300 or 50 dollars, if it doesn't have enough games, people won't buy it. This is what happened to the PS3 at launch, same goes for the Wii U right now. Hell, remember before the launch of the Vita when we were all saying how 250 dollars for the system is such a good deal. Yeah, look what happened. Or the 3DS for that matter, even a...
Sure the price point was different, but the main problem the PS3 had and the Wii U has right now was/is not enough games. It doesn't matter if it's 600, 300 or even 50 dollars. No one is buying a system with little to no games.
The reason they aren't allowing Japanese indie developers is because, for some strange reason, indie devs in Japan can't self publish. So it really isn't a Nintendo thing as it is a Japanese gaming as a whole thing.
Love these people who didn't read the article or didn't do research but instead just typed "NINTENDOOMED LOL". A quick google search will show you there is a rule, albeit strange rule, that indie developers can't self publish in Japan. There, there's your explanation. Now wasn't that so hard?
Think of it like this. Pay ten dollars for the game on the Wii U, or pay 200 for the cart. Suddenly 10 dollars doesn't sound like a steep price.
So I say I would prefer Atlus STAY third party, but a first party Atlus is better than no Atlus and everyone disagrees with it? Hmm... hold on, I got it. Let me just replace "Nintendo" with "Sony" and everyone will like it!

As bad as the Zelda reaction was, I could somehow see why people reacted like that. Twilight Princess was being built as the greatest game EVER (I remember hearing this all the time) so anything lower than a 11/10 would be blasphemy.

The reaction to TLOU polygon review was so over the top. It actually brought up some legitimate gripes with the game but of course everyone knew it was a bulls*it review because they knew polygon was wrong....
So Sonic shouting at Tails "where's that DAMN fourth chaos emerald" confirmed?
