Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Not that anyone had high hopes, but Mario Party 10 is getting pretty lousy scores. Par for the course for this series, though...

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Doesn't matter, it comes with an amiibo!!! ;)

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

For $10 more!!! ;)

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

If you can find one at a GameStop near you, the 8 GB Skylanders Swap Force bundle is $199.99.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I have joined the club today and got a Wii U. Only issue I have now is Mario moves super slow in 3D World, but maybe that changes later in the game.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I don't know how much of an issue this still is, but Iwata spoke to Time about the price of the Wii U:

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Uh... what? (Interview from 2012, where Iwata is proud that the component cost of the WiiU was only 99 bucks; I understand that doesn't take R&D and whatnot into account)

http://www.p4rgaming.com/iwata-asks-...99-us-dollars/

If the yen were strong, wouldn't that make the price in foreign markets too high? Was the yen strong when the WiiU first launched, because it's relatively weak now. Or is it the opposite?

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Beats me. Is that quote legit? Quickly skimming, I don't see anything even close to that in the Iwata Asks interview that site links to as 'proof'. Google searches for those quotes only turn up that one p4rgaming article (and a forum post quoting it).

Iwata also said in 2012:This is when the deluxe was still $350! To be fair, it's unclear which version of the console he's talking about -- the 8 GB and/or 32 GB.

Reggie said in 2012 that the Wii U was being sold at a very small loss but that one software sale per console would push it into the black.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I don't see how 8 or 32 would be a substantial cost difference, even several years ago. And especially considering how slow it is.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Right. What I mean is that when Reggie was saying that the Wii U was being sold at a loss, maybe he was just referring to the 8 GB version since there's not really $50 worth of other stuff in the deluxe model.

Doesn't look like Zelda is gonna make it in 2015, which...yeah, I think everyone was expecting. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v...802&permPage=1

It also won't be shown at E3.

I wonder if we're looking at a cross-platform release a la Twilight Princess on the GameCube and Wii...with Zelda being a launch title on the NX.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

The Zelda delay is disappointing. Other than Xenoblade, there's not a lot else that I was looking forward to on Wii U. Devil's Third, if it ends up being good. Splatoon, only if it has a worthwhile solo campaign.

Some people are fearing that Zelda is ditching the Wii U and will be a launch exclusive for the NX. Seems unlikely to me, but I'm no expert on Nintendo.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I'd say just give up on the WiiU and make it an NX launch title.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I get the delay but not showing it at E3? That's kinda weak.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I don't think it'll be an NX exclusive, but I could see Nintendo pulling a Twilight Princess. That one was originally supposed to be a GameCube release, but it wound up debuting on the Wii after a lengthy delay, and a GameCube release followed a few weeks later. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility for it to be a similar cross-gen situation. A Zelda game at launch sure would be a feather in the NX's cap.

To be fair, that's, like, half the titles announced for 2015. :) Yoshi's Wooly World looks pretty amazing. Mario Maker, Star Fox, and Project Giant Robot are the only other first-party titles announced, and they've shown off borderline-nothing from those. (I'm skeptical about Star Fox and Project Giant Robot being ready for prime time in 2015.) Nintendo does like to announce surprises at the last minute. I don't think we had too much advance notice on Captain Toad, for instance. Maybe a localization of Fatal Frame, a remaster or two, and one or two games we haven't seen anything about yet at all?

It being a no-show at E3 very likely says a lot about the state of the game right now.
