Nice piece, guys!


Knack did seem like an interesting concept, but I'm not convinced that the gameplay is as cool as the concept.  That little bit they played remotely on a Vita?  Ugly as sin.  Gray hallways.  Fun.


The opening presentation had me excited, but I saw nothing imaginative in the games they chose to show.

So excited for this, but my wife is disappointed.  She liked to watch me play City Folk, help listen for balloons and spot holes, etc.  I wish there was a spectator mode for her to watch on the TV.  I doubt many people play this way, though.

Maybe the lack of Wii content and especially Wii marketing is actually smart on Nintendo's part.  The Wii needs to leave the public consciousness, at least for a short while, so that when the see the WiiU, they don't think, "Didn't we just buy that?"

I don't see how touring major cities with playable hardware parties is "silence", Chozo.

I'm saying, in person, they look different.  Maybe in photos they look similar, but it's clearly a different beast in person.

But this new system looks nicer than the Wii

They look exactly the same.

No, they don't.  In person, the WiiU looks significantly different in my opinion.  Thanks for the snarky answer though.  Maybe, after 10 years, I'm done with these forums.

Oh yeah, I also wanted to say how amazing Project P-100 looks in person.  Screenshots and videos online don't do this thing justice- it's a stunner.  It's like a team of superhero Pikmin making their way around a city that is falling apart at the seams- Planes falling from the sky and destroying the ground in front of you, building falling over.  The whole thing really screams "powerful system."

Also, DK Crash Course has these charming crayon drawing details that I don't think come through in screenshots.  Crayon drawn Pauline, etc in the background.  Really cute touch.

It's true, the Will is as stunner.  But this new system looks nicer than the Wii, that's for sure.  The Will, I suppose, is in a league of its own.

Just got back from playing the WiiU here in Chicago.

Nintendoland:

-AC Sweet day was fun 5-player.  It's pretty hard for the animals collecting candy to win.  Maybe in a quieter space it will be easier to communicate.

-Luigi's Ghost Mansion was fun, but the controls felt a little slow...  My wife liked this one.

-DK Crash Course was more engaging than I thought, and harder than it looks.  It's a real finesse game. 

-Throwing Star game, whatever it's called, was fun, but pretty simple.  I'm sure I'll get more into it later.  Liked the origami graphics.

-Zelda game was fun.  I didn't try the Gamepad for this one, but my cousin did, and he liked it.  I just slashed with swords.  Again, this seemed a little slow going.  Hopefully it gets faster as you progress.

Mario U:  Awesome.  I love the new suit.  The level designs seem more carefully crafted than typical NSMB games.  Balloon Yoshi is a blast to use.  with 5 players it gets pretty chaotic, but 2 is great.  MY wife and I won a speed run contest and got a Mario plush and a Yoshi plush.  She was on the Gamepad and I was on the Wii remote.  Lots of fun.

Rayman Legends:  Great!  Totally beautiful and an amazing sense of speed.  Gamepad plus Wii remote play was even better than Mario- super engaging.  This will be my first Rayman game.

Pikmin 3: Like the NPC Pikmin releases, but crazy pretty. 

Game and Wario:  IGN is right- "Fruit" is a blast.  Perfect thing to play with older family members and little kids.  Fun all around.

Just Dance 4- What an embarrassing load of crap.

I didn't play anything else, but Batman looks beautiful.  Zombie U looks interesting.  I mostly watched people struggle with these- trying to move a Batarang around of go through their inventory.  I don't think I'll have trouble, but these dopes did.  Ninja Gaiden 3 looked pretty too.  Avoided Sing.

The Gamepad feels great in my hands, and the screen quality and resolution are hogher than I thought they'd be.  The new Classic Controller is fantastic (I played Rayman with it).  The system itself looks very pretty and more high end than the Will.

PacMan could get power pellets and all other characters would turn blue and he could eat them.  Holy hell that would be cool.

Just picked this up for $20.  I never played it on Gamecube, and I love it so much!  Can't wait for Pikmin 3!

« on: June 22, 2012, 12:37:13 PM »
While this seems to be included I dont see it being a bog selling point. Not sure if any of the the cable guys will throw there support behind it. That and it would probably have leaked that nintendo were in talks woth the big guys. Comlare that to microsoft who has been pretty open and have partnerships with Uverse,Fios, comcast, and working on one with time warner already.

That and I don't beleive nintendo has thr branding/support/ecosystem/technical no how to make something like this work correctly. Bigger and Better guys have been trying to solve the living room problem and failed (Google,Apple) and the currently the most viable option is the xbox.

I hope nintendo knows what its doing because the wrong move could **** it up.
That a d using thr Wii U as a TV remote has to be one of the dumb but late to the party.

Nope, you're right, it wouldn't be a "bog" selling point.  Now, water-proof it, and that would be a sure-fire "bog" selling point!

Looks like it better matches the WiiU.  I'll get one of these for my wife, then we can play Animal Crossing and NSMB2 together!

The first time I played a 3DS I got a crazy headache, but now I can play it for hours without it bothering me.  UNLESS I monkey around with the depth slider while looking at the screen.  Don't do that.

Nemo- it's not the same game.  The physics are way more interesting, there is a greater variety of levels, and the online play is great.

Excitebike is excellent.  Get it if you don't have it already.

The 3D in this demo is amazing to me.  I love putting the camera angle down low facing up and watching the foliage above me pass by in 3D.  Really pretty.

Did a bunch of post-plays and ordered the new 3DS card case.  Looks good to me.

I'm with Luigi Dude.  It's been awhile.  And as long as the games are good, that's all that matters.  I also agree with noname, a different art syle would be nice.  The NSMB style can feel a little plasticy and stale.
