I have a Wii U - General Discussion.

Mr E

Well no, not really. Maybe in the new year. :cool:

Since the other thread is pre-launch hype, rumours, speculation, buying info, etc., it's probably a good idea to start a new thread for talking about the console itself, now that some of you lucky sods have one sitting under your TV.

Has there been a good Sonic game since Generations?

Corholio

Sonic Boom is the lowest selling Sonic game to date, selling just 490,00 copies. The absolute garbage SEGA have released in the Sonic name over the years really does show the wonders Nintendo have done with Mario. SEGA can't even get 1 Sonic game right, yet Nintendo have produced multiple classic Mario games.

that's why i can wait, been waiting ages already what's another year?

The mewtwo codes don't get emailed until "spring" which will probably be the day before summer on Nintendo's calendar.

Good news, we may see Fatal Frame V being localised.

On February 1, 2015 Former Team Ninja member, current Valhala Game Studios member, Tomonobu Itagaki, has stated the following through his Facebook account:

"Hey guys, I strongly believe that Kikuchi Keisuke will release the Fatal Frame V in America, in many countries. He and me have same philosophy from Tecmo days. That's what I can say for now. I want you guys to read between the lines.
Anyway I will play this game ".

Xenoblade is a niche game which may play well to Nintendo as there wont be too many of them made for Wii U maybe just enough for the amount of Wii U owners out there again as has been said it won't be a main seller in the pre Christmas period what with COD 15, Assassin's Creed 15 etc being released for PS3,4 Xbone etc.

Xenoblade 3D will largely be a better seller as it is so far being marketed as the first New 3DS only game and will be available both as a cart and eshop purchase, I think most people that want a New 3DS will have one by April but still would bet Nintendo release a New 3DS XL Xenoblade Limited Edition console.

I don't see why Zeldou would be delayed, I mean, it has a history of always being delayed, but all Nintendo games have that.

I'm more worried about starfox, but I can wait for that.

Problem there is that I'm not sure that Metroid has appeal outside of those who've already played it.
To the sad and ignorant non Nintendo player it looks like just another space marine game and just doesn't get traction.
See the difference between Halo and Metroid Prime,
Halo sold 5 million copies, Metroid Prime 2 million

hold a second halo came out in 2001 and metroid prime came out 2002 so natural halo sold more metroid prime because halo came out a year before metroid prime did and halo has multiplayer mode and metroid prime doesnt

I'd be surprised if Zelda U got pushed from 2015. It's really their only big potential console moving game of the year. Star Fox, Mario Maker, Xenoblade, Yoshi, Kirby and Splatoon are all probably going to be great but none of them are Smash Bros or Mario Kart.

It's hard to imagine that Xenoblade would be used as a big holiday game. Chronicles didn't sell particularly well at all, it was much more of a cult hit. Maybe word of mouth and the appearance of Shulk in SSB4 will boost buzz a bit but I still can't see it being any sort of substitute for Zelda in terms of sales.

Tomo.Murphy

All I've heard so far about the Zelda Wii U release is a lot of speculation from people who don't think they can get it out by years end. I'll remain optimistic though.

Banjo

Dude, you've seen the pics
Wampy gets his news direct from Navi!
"Hey! Listen! Aonuma is talking out his hole!"

I'd heard rumours that Zelda U was getting pushed back to after next Christmas with Xenoblade as the holiday sales push game to create the illusion of a rich release schedule but I think that was another boardsie, or a comment on nintendojo. Don't think there's any evidence yet.

Star Lord

Can't find any news suggesting this...?
Think it's still due later this year Wampy, Majoras Mask remake changes nothing about the Zelda U schedule.

I remember a while back someone complained that they couldn't buy games from the eshop and download them later like you can on PS3\PS4.

There is a workaround. Buy the games, then go to download management and delete the downloads. You can then re-download the games any time you want without incurring costs.

This will allow those with limited space on their HDs to avail of the half-price Wii releases while they shop for a bigger HD.

Just came across this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oH3_MscjCk

24 minutes of Xenoblade Chronicles X footage. It's in Japanese, so I haven't got the slightest clue what's going on, but there's a guy in the comments section talking about translating it, so I'll keep an eye on that on the off chance he's not waffling on!

A rumour has emerged today that Netflix are planning to make a live action Zelda series. It still apparently has a long way to go and no writer is even on board.

Galaxy 1 & 2 are the best thing ever. I pity the fools that don't dig that stuff.

iamtony

I'm just playing Galaxy two I know it's old but due to the rerelease it's worth mentioning and it's my first time playing it. I'm not sure if it better than one yet but my God it's brilliant. The guys why made this have some imagination! It's a shame the gaming general population in general are too hooked on realistic looking graphics and such they all miss out on the magic that is nintendo.
I brought my wii U to a friends house a while ago with smash and mario kart and my friends brother whose on his twenties refused to play with us because he didn't like cartoonie looking games. It's sad but this is the way the general/casual gaming community thinks.
I now think Nintendo consoles are only bought buy the real hardcore gamers like ourselves while the rest play Fifa and cod over and over again.

Xenoblade is going to be a massive 22.7GB in size. Better start looking for a decent hard drive.

4 players will be able to simultaneous play online while being connected to 32 other players for item trading.
