"Peter Molyneux is Pretty Alright"

When compared to the Ebola virus...

I'm sorry but I just cant like the guy, he hypes his games up generating unrealistic expectations and then cries when people call him out for not delivering.

So they finally fixed the D-pad.

"You mean like at the end there where PlayStation Europe says "Best of luck!"?"

Yeah, but you know there is such a thing as being disingenuous, right?.

Also, it mite be easier to forget about the fanboy wars if Sony and MS weren't constantly fanning the flames.

Maybe you're right, I don't know...

Anyway I think it would be interesting to see either Sony or MS trying to appear to be "the bigger man" one of these days.

Both these companies are acting incredibly juvenile, I know it's supposed to be "all in good fun" but it's honestly not, there is genuine bitter rivalry going on between Sony and MS.

If both the majority of their core fanbase weren't comprised of ADD afflicted howler monkeys they'd get called out for it and maybe then leave the trolling to 'gamers'...

It would have helped if those 3rd party devs had actually made something worth buying for the Wii, the devs behind Xenoblade, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Raving Rabids, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower and Project Zero 4, all made high quality, enjoyable titles that gained them high acclaim, if EA wanted make a crapy port for the Wii and moans it didn't sell then who is really to blame?

It's really a matter of gamers having had their hand held too much with current gen games, when playing an old school gem like Super Metroid it's important to adapt to the game and what it expects from you instead of expecting to be told what to do.

If you're stuck then either you haven't searched the area enough, or you are lacking a certain power up, it's usually never anymore complex than that beyond a frustratingly tough boss fight.

There's no reliable evidence that EA have dropped support of the Wii U truly due to it being under powered, if that was the case then why state back at E3 2011 that they are planning to fully support Nintendo's Wii U? they must have known the consoles limits at the time so if they had issue, way back then would have been the best time to mention it.

It's far more likely that they did try to push origin on Nintendo but where refuse...

That sounds pretty plausible IMO, having Origin on the Wii U would have been a huge deal for EA but I'm not surprised Nintendo refused, I mean EA can't even maintain their own servers and do nothing but infuriate their consumers with needless DRM, DLC and accessible game design (aka ruining their franchises).

Hopefully the Wii U gaining support from such a great dev like Ubisoft will put the detractors back in their place, EA have really only ever put out shovel-ware on the Wii that nobody cared about so it's not like loosing them is a big deal.

That being said, I still think EA have dropped support of the Wii U due to conflicting approaches to online play and other such services.

This is what happens when games stop being challenging yet fun and rewarding in favour of being linear events where any sense of challenge is dropped due to fear of breaking player immersion through countless deaths the player is supposed to learn from, it just breeds a generation of incompetent morons who need a helping hand to make progress.

Exactly. I don't mind admitting I could never finish the original NES Super Mario Bro's cause that game genuinely was tough, but Super Mario World is a walk in the park by comparison.

To quote the hacker "Marcan" who originally released the the Wii U’s CPU and GPU clock speeds to us all.

"Though the Wii U’s CPU is nothing to write home about, you can’t fairly compare its clock speeds to that of the Xbox 360. Clock speed isn’t everything, and sometimes power is a matter of efficiency, not pure numbers."

I breezed through this when I was 8, what the hell?

My bad, I'll edit that.

Thanks for commenting.

Asura's Wrath had a pretty awesome title screen, it looped cutscene events from all the chapters the player has cleared so far.

It's EA, they're bound to replace it with something worse.

Same here, I can't even imagine how many play troughs I must have done.

I think Smashbro29 means "Ayami Kojima" not "Hideo Kojima"
