I'm thoroughly enjoying Pikmin 3 as well. It's very fun and well designed. However, I do miss the weird noises and singing the Pikmin did in parts 1 and 2. That's weirdly missing in part 3. I thought it was funny and charming so I'm sad to see they axed it. Maybe too many people found it annoying or something.
I'm surprised you don't have any agrees. That would be awesome to have a real RE game along with Metroid, Starfox and Zelda (which we know is coming with WW and the new one). I'm a huge Metroid fan, so it would be great to get a new Prime game or something like it.
You're right. The big three will continue to co-exist for a while, and the Wii U will do healthy business for Nintendo, especially from first-party software. The Wii U not only will not fail, but I think it has the potential to even win this next gen in terms of sales. It's unlikely, but I believe possible when more compelling games are released for Wii U.
This is my favorite Zelda game, so I'm very excited to play this after many years with better graphics and in HD.
Really, all Wii U needs is games. That's all that matters. When Nintendo starts delivering big games on a regular basis starting with Pikmin 3, sales will pick up quite a bit I'm sure. I think Wii U will do fine business, at least just for Nintendo themselves. I don't know if it will outsell PS4 or X1, but I at least think it has a chance.
You don't care to experience this classic in HD with better graphics? I'm looking forward to it.
I recall reading a statement from Wind Waker producer that the "lost levels" from Wind Waker were used in future Zelda games. However, I'm not sure how they were used, and in which Zelda games.
The Wii U's 3rd party game ports weren't bad. In fact, they were often better in certain ways. The problem was that many of them were released months or even more than a year after their PS3/360/PC counterparts, and for full retail price.
Yes, lack of games is the Wii U's biggest problem now, particularly lack of first party games. There are only 3 Nintendo games on Wii U, and 2 of them are launch games. The third is the lackluster Game & Wario. Releasing more great first party games on a regular basis will help Wii U significantly.
Where did you hear this would be a digital-only release? It didn't say that in the article or any other article I've read about this game.
Strange reply. I was just suggesting that a price drop along with more 1st party releases would sell more Wii U's. I never implied current owners should get money back after a price drop. Why would you think that I thought that?
As a Wii U owner, I don't think the system is a compelling purchase at this time. But this holiday (Nov/Dec) it will be more enticing since it will have a bigger 1st party library. A price drop would make things even better.
It's statistically impossible for PS4 or X1 to outsell Wii U's first-year sales at launch from preorders. By the time they launch, Wii U will have sold 4 to 5 million systems. I don't think any console has ever reached 1 million sales at launch, much less 4 to 5 million. Sony and MS probably won't even have that many systems available at launch. I know it's fun to root for your system of choice, but not at the expense of logic.
@wishingW3L
PS4 = $50 or $100 more than Wii U.
There, I fixed your stat. Contrary to popular N4G opinion, the Wii U Basic model has not been discontinued.
Why do so many people think the Wii U Basic model was discontinued? It wasn't. Nintendo just recalled some to balance the inventories of Pro and Basic models. The Basic model is still around people. Get your facts straight.
David, just try to make sure your future games aren't loaded with plot holes, lapses in logic, and pointless scenes and characters. Heavy Rain had all of those issues, which was a shame because I really wanted to like it. But at least the graphics were great.
This is about the Australian version of Game & Wario being full retail price, not the American version.
Agreed, the time limit and different physics are there to add challenge and differentiate itself from the original NSMB U.
I think it's Vita fans who won't acknowledge the system is selling poorly and that it needs help by Sony to increase sales.
I think you're right that many people are still unaware of the Wii U. I've spoken to many casual gamers who own and love the Wii, and when I mention the Wii U, they just stare at me blankly and ask, "what's that?" That's not good, and it's Nintendo's fault for not marketing the Wii U properly. They should do a marketing blitz campaign this holiday to raise awareness of the Wii U and let people know it's not a Wii peripheral. Gamers are of course aware of ...
