That's not totally true. That weird baseball game and the weapon shop game were new reveals. Not particularly mind-blowing, but they were new reveals.
We're really gauging Nintendo's general quality of keeping customers informed at this point. Nintendo Direct, other forms of reveals, whatever. People want to have faith in the Wii U, but it's tough when they don't want to announce anything for the 2014 holiday season. Or even Fall 2014.
It doesn't necessarily matter what they want Nintendo Directs to be, it's the fact they are communicating with consumers but not letting them know anything past Spring 2014 besides a snippet of X. That's what people are mad about, keeping us in the dark. I have a Wii U and besides MK and Smash, I have nothing to buy in 2014. I play my indie games on PC for a much smaller price.
GBA emulators have been available on the damn ipod touch within the first 6 months of its release in 2007. The first six months. Look it up, plenty of old forum posts on how to get it on the internet. I have absolutely no hype for an emulator that frankly should have taken no time at all for Nintendo to make. People do it on all sorts of platforms like PSP, ipod touch, etc. without Nintendo's amount of structure, talent, or resources.
You are correct, but both of those are 3DS titles. Being in the thread of the Wii U, I was referring to Wii U games only, though I suppose I should have clarified upon that (not that it matters much, anyways). My apologies.
Oh wow, no that was my bad! Should have been obvious what you meant.
I ended up buying it although I haven't had time to get into it past the first stage yet.
I think it took a day or two, can't remember.
Yea that's when the general census of the internets seems to be as well. I want to order my luigi 3ds carrying case :X
Not missing out at all, just not my preference. I'm not much of a 2D platformer fan anymore. I just feel 3D platformers were so much better and now they're pretty rare, which re-enforces that I don't want to support the 2D platforming sub-genre anymore.
Maybe, then again i have the 8 gig (it was on clearance) and no HDD. On an unrelated note Wii U hasn't been released in South Korea, how are you playing it?
Ahh, makes sense, gotcha.
You crazy son. Super Smash Bros WIi U looks absolutely beautiful.
Do you think it's had as much of a graphical upgrade as Mario Kart 8 has?
I can't believe your saying neither DKC or Smash Bros Wii U look next gen. They look just as beautiful and updated as MK8. And even if they were graphically worse than MK8, SSB Wii U is no where graphically impaired where you'd have to say that the "gameplay" has to make up for the graphics. Your the first person I've seen who is unsatisfied and unimpressed w/ the graphics.
Oh here we go...I'll say it, YES, impressive graphics for the hardware are a huge part of Smash since Melee.
When did I say that SSB Wii U doesn't look next-gen?! All I said is that Mario Kart 8 is noticeably better looking to my eyes.
It's just this part that blows my mind. I just can't see how in the world the graphics of Smash Bros 4 isn't good enough for you. I'm starting to think you're trying to say something else, but this is written poorly if you're simply trying to convey the point that Mario Kart 8 has better graphics. From this post, I can gather that you're trying to say "Since SSB Wii U has inferior graphics than MK8, it is at a significant disadvantage and must have good gameplay to compensate for it." Now what I think you're trying to say is "MK8 looks better than SSB Wii U. However, SSB Wii U still looks fun if not more fun anyway." If that's what you're trying to say, format your sentences better.
Super Smash Bros. Wii U looks great, Mario Kart 8 looks spectacular.
I don't know, I feel like 2D platformers and 3D platformers are so different that you can't even compare the two. 2D platformers tend to be about executing tricky jumps and navigating levels filled with traps while 3D platformers tend to be based around exploration and collecting items (you can blame Mario 64 for that). Apples to oranges really.
If there was ever a console made for this, it's the Virtual Boy, Wii U comes second best.
With the amount of stuff Nintendo are going to have to show at E3 I'm not surprised we're getting a few bits out now so they can just whack up a trailer and don't have to explain it as much... Fatal Frame particularly probably needs a bit more information because of the live-action, novel and manga all coming with it which would be odd to leave out of the reveal, but wouldn't really fit in a Direct...
You (most likely) won't regret it. The series so far has been solid.
