Mendon Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 http://youtu.be/8w8pYTc6QEk Resident Evil Revelations looks really good, as does Pikmin 3 and Super Luigi U. I especially like all the new gameplay features of Pikmin 3 and all the differing control methods, including using the gamepad alone with Wiimote/Nunchuk control. I've never been a fan of the 10sec Wario mini-game titles so I'm unsure about Game & Wario. But at least it looks somewhat interesting to me. And finally, a release date for Wonderful 101... Yes!! Only thing I found puzzling was that the Luigi DLC will be available on the eShop on June 20th but the stand alone version won't be available until August. Guess its another method of pushing eShop downloads vs. physical. But I appreciate Nintendo giving me a choice of purchase options to buy the game and I can wait a couple months and spend the extra $10 to get the physical version.

Chuck D. Head Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Well, I think Pikmin, Wonderful 101 and Super Luigi U will finally drive me to purchase the system. Even if I don't have the WiiU yet, I will be snagging up the retail version of the Luigi game, it is about time he got his dUe. I think the idea for doing the demos of upcoming games at Best Buy as part of E3 week is the kind of thing they need to do more of, if this system is ever going to take off. If they could make just one change to their MO and hire outside marketing consultants, I think they would do a hell of a lot better in the future.

bomberpunk Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Seasons/Ages will be added to my LE Zelda 3DS as soon as they are released. i will put every damn Zelda game on there that i can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The fact that Luigi will be standalone is great news regardless of when it hits. I was under the impression it would be DLC only! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'll take Sega over EA any day. Yakuza 1 and 2 on the Wii U? Sweet! Best PS2 games I ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xg4bx Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Don't forget the Ninty/Sega love-fest with the next 3 Sonic games being Nintendo exclusives. There's also hints going around that Sonic might be in the next Mario Kart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Sonic would be an awesome addition to MarioKart, but you know how the Rumor mill works. I hope this and the upcoming "Doom and Gloom" scenarios go away soon with the May/June announcements of new games. EA may have jumped ship, but their not the best 3rd party dev in town and it seems a lot of other devs will continue to support Wii-U. While I was originally planning on getting the DLC content pack for New Mario Brothers U, I really enjoy collecting the retail discs when/if they're available. I'm not sure if I'll bite or wait on it. I'm thinking if the DLC requires the original Mario game disc anyway, I may as well and invest the $10 extra for the separate disc version.

Atariboy Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Sonic would be an awesome addition to MarioKart, but you know how the Rumor mill works. With Sega having their own successful kart franchise, I'd be a bit surprised if that happens. I'd like to see Mario Kart expand its focus to the entire Nintendo universe though. Getting a bit tired being limited to the Mario universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Mario Kart expand its focus to the entire Nintendo universe though. Getting a bit tired being limited to the Mario universe. Zero Suit Samus or princess Zelda would make a nice addition to the female character roster. Nintendo needs to be more original though. Some of the characters tend to be pretty generic, for instance including "baby" versions of nearly every princess/plumber character tends to become overkill. Also, nearly every classic enemy has made a playable appearance in kart/party/spinoff games with the exception of Goomba. A throwback to the Paper Mario series like Goombario or Goombella would be kinda cool. But how would they drive without arms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) The same way Mii's run without legs. It wasn't really characters I had in mind though since I always select Koopa or Toad. Rather, I would like to see courses set in other Nintendo worlds. And I'm sure that those that do care about the character rosters would appreciate seeing it opened beyond the Mario franchise to encompass components from other Nintendo franchises. Like you're saying, they're stretching for characters in recent Mario Kart entries that went beyond the traditional roster of 8 drivers or so. And many of the courses are retreads every time like the obligatory Bowser's Castle. So this would be a solution for that and bring in some much needed fresh air. I forgot to add earlier that I'm happy to see New Super Luigi U getting a retail release. I don't care for expensive downloads so this is perfect. I'm curious though if NSMBU will be seeing a price drop later this year since this new standalone game that adapts and modifies its courses for Luigi will be only $29.99 at retail. Sonic would be an awesome addition to MarioKart, but you know how the Rumor mill works. With Sega having their own successful kart franchise, I'd be a bit surprised if that happens. Seems as if the rumor that this third Sonic game is some sort of kart racing collaboration is getting a lot of mileage. So perhaps we will see Sega and Nintendo combining forces for a kart racer despite both having their own successful franchises in that area.

Atariboy Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Not too much of a shock there. Hopefully with their desperation for new software, Nintendo will do what it takes to get that Sega release out over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xg4bx Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The retail disc of Luigi will also be a limited edition. While the wait stinks I can't pass up that lovely green case. ''Nintendo has revealed that New Super Luigi U will be released as a limited edition standalone boxed game as well as DLC for those who already own New Super Mario Bros. U. The physical copy will come in a fetching green case and will retail for $29.99 in North America - $10 more than the DLC. It's expected to hit store shelves August 25th, while the European release will take place almost a month earlier, on July 26th. The DLC edition is coming June 20th.'' http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/05/new_super_luigi_u_will_be_available_as_a_standalone_packaged_game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually haven't played the series yet, so I'm crossing my fingers it eventually gets released over here. From now on I'll be trying to buy any re-releases or future third party titles on the Wii-U first, if it's a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Here's a look and it looks GOOD to me!! http://youtu.be/G3BqHbga7Tg Fantastic! I would probably get the Wii U version over any others because I am hoping the map of the town would display on the Gamepad. Also, inventory would be cool on the gamepad as well. I hated going in and out of menu's so much. I'm really hoping this comes stateside. For me personally Yakuza 1 and 2 are some of the best and fondest games for me that I played. Probably the only games that sparked some emotion for me. Really fantastic storyline based off of Japanese crime novelist...Hase Seishu. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hase_Seishu Ok I'm rambling on. I love these two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I dont think I would EVER by digital games from Nintendo as long as they still attach games\purchases to systems and not accounts. Bullshit, they need to change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats funny is that I read an article on Kotaku yesterday where they are already saying that the Wii U version isn't as "polished" as the PS3 version: http://kotaku.com/this-wii-u-game-doesnt-seem-as-polished-as-its-ps3-ver-508843306 Sheesh..... seems like all people do is bitch, bitch, bitch about the Wii U no matter what Nintendo does or what title is released.

Sheesh..... seems like all people do is bitch, bitch, bitch about the Wii U no matter what Nintendo does or what title is released. It figures. I think at this point they are beating on it for the sake of beating on it which to me it then becomes almost fanboyish and troll-like. I'll try and search for that, I wonder what they mean by crisp and detailed. I doubt anyone will be able to tell if they play unless it's really bad.
