Man, I like the Wii U as well, but saying that Call of Duty and Madden are the only third-party games out on the video game market right now is just being delusional.
Nintendo is not the only one at fault here, trust me, but I'm shocked that Wii U advertising has been so rare. I don't think I've seen a single commercial for the console itself and I've only seen a few for games, specifically ZombiU and the occasional Wind Waker HD.
Jim Parsons is the best thing about this show. He does a fantastic job of being that egotistic, elitist nerd that annoys everyone, but still is awkwardly funny.
Seriously, rehearsing Sheldon's lines surely takes a huge amount of effort.
It's funny to me.
It would've been even worse. Its launch wouldn't have been as prominent as that of the PS4 or Xbox One, and even less people would've known about it. At least it had a bit of publicity (albeit a little) in the first year alone. If three consoles were being released this year, the Wii U would've been overshadowed in an instant.
Also, considering that we still don't have those big games like Bayonetta 2, Metroid or Smash Bros., it wouldn't have made much...
"See, journalists don't just bash the Xbox One."
This receives the official certification of most obvious headline in N4G history.
"If Nintendo truly cared for their consumers they would drop the Wiiu and begin a new machine."
Wouldn't starting a new system be a big middle finger to the people who already bought a Wii U? I think caring for your consumers involves improving and justifying the purchase of a console that's already out, not dropping support of something that consumers (and developers) have already put work and funds into.
I initially read the N4G submission headline and thought that the Wii/Wii U sales were 1% of the LOSS, not profit. Though the actual article's headline is okay, the N4G headline is confusing.
Either way, Nintendo needs to up the value of the Wii U by increasing its library size and bringing great exclusive titles. Also, EA needs to quit shirking the Wii U and actually release real games instead of delayed and neutered ports.
Neither side is innocent here....
At least it's in the cards. I already pay for Google Music All Access which is $8 per month, so having to shell out cash for another subscription-based music service just for PS4 seems unreasonable to me.
I don't blame you. Online play is so auxiliary to me and it's made worse by how obnoxious the community is. If I do play multiplayer, it's usually and ideally with friends.
I've played the single-player of a few other Call of Duty games and while they're not terrible (I dug some scenes in Modern Warfare 3), they never seemed to be the focus of the game.
Is anyone going to buy this for the single-player?
I love Ni No Kuni as much as the next guy, but there is nothing in that post that I can agree with.
If it's not a fad, DICE, then prove it.
Make it integral. Make it feel essential to the overall experience and not seem like a cheap, shoehorned way to artificially broaden a game's appeal.
There's just so many Lego games nowadays that it's just getting tiring. Lego City Undercover was at least a new Lego game series that wasn't fueled by an existing license.
I'd like to see original Lego games, not ones that gain appeal from a license.
Against my initial judgment, I actually clicked this article and shockingly, it's not bashing Nintendo but more pondering as to why it's so ridiculed today.
However, "pondering" a problem doesn't necessarily mean "proposing a solution to" a problem, so it that regard, it was a waste of time. Sorry, Gamnesia.
I remember hearing something about "griefers" back in the days of the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era, but they were mostly reserved to Counter-Strike and other PC shooters and their videos were posted on the recorders' own websites.
It's not an old thing to see, but with Youtube giving easy access to videos and attention, it's becoming easier to do and exploit financially.
Based on the reasons the review listed and how integral these reasons are to the game's core gameplay, I'd say a 3/10 is pretty harsh. It's hard to agree with a review that puts so much negative emphasis on having to repeatedly press a button to tear down an air grate.
Yup, it does. Just not here.
I agree. The Wii U is not a bad system, but there are games on other systems worth checking out as well. The Nintendo exclusives are superb, but Sony has some interesting stuff on the way too, and even the Xbox One has some games coming that look neat.
Variety is the spice of life.
I'm not arguing against the fact that Nintendo needs to appease third parties more, but Rayman Legends sold poorly due to a heavy amount of market competition from other, much bigger titles like GTA V. In fact, Rayman Legends sold BEST on Wii U.
I can't say I'm crushed that this game got canceled, but games are games, and the Wii U needs more of them.
When you offer a high-profile first-party title on the eShop two weeks before it hits retail, you're bound to see results. I wish this practice was more common, as it offers an actual advantage to buying digital over physical.
