Yeah, and I'm quite thankful for it. As strange as it sounds, handheld titles seem to have more originality and risks on new ideas compared to consoles. Due to development costs, consoles tend to have your usual franchises, reused assets, etc. I feel like companies are starting to see that mid tier games are perfectly fine on console/handheld. Now it's just a matter of waiting for Square to realize that more instead of focusing on just mobile gaming.
I have enough for smash bros for wii u. Same goes for the 3DS.
What game? If it's Xenoblade Chronicles x it looks amazing except the character models, which always looked bad. Not Monolith Soft's core competency, and I'm willing to give them that. The open-world doesn't look downgraded one bit, watch the playthroughs.
It's amazing how some people can say that they care about game play over graphics but then turn around and bash a game for not having the most amazing HD blow-your-brains-to-****-tastic visuals that they've ever seen.
They calmed down after they saw the Treehouse video. Character models aren't great but the game is beautiful regardless. Game looks even better than its reveal and the story and gameplay will be amazing.
I don't know why some people say that, they're almost equal to me and I'm not afraid to admit I'm shallow like that.
I got Shovel Boy on Wii U just because big pixels and possibility of speedrunning, not sure how that will shape up though atm for me.
I can't really say I like that since legitimately one of the most fun games I've ever played is a crappy old Atari space shooter called Yar's Revenge. That being said, I can appreciate it when there has been a ton of effort poured into making a game beautiful or just having an insane amount of attention to detail.
Alright, that has me sold. And for switch force 2, you can just buy that on either system? Or are they not the same as well?
If you're asking about cross-buy, no, that doesn't apply to Nintendo systems.
Not everyone
I got a Basic on clearance last year for a really good deal so no DDP for me.
Same, although I somehow have 10 dollars free credit somehow. I don't remember buying that many VC games, but oh well.Not everyone
I buy everything physical though anyway, though the $5 free eShop bucks would be nice.
Thanks for that link. Got £15 free on the eshop. Dunno what I'll get with it but its nice to have.
I don't believe the offer expires but occasionally the refurbs are out of stock.
Did you get shovel knight yet? You should since it's $14.99 and became a critically acclaimed video game since its release.
It fluctuates. I've seen it at $250 before. But then, it comes back down to $200. You probably should worry about pricing on those refurbs as the months go by, the price will likely stay at $200. I wouldn't be surprised if later this year Nintendo offers a Wii U Brand new with a pack-in game for $250 during the holiday season. I believe Japan already has a Wii Sports Club bundle so I think that bundle will be on the way soon.
I imagine they're trying to cost reduce as fast as they can but I don't see them selling the console at a loss again like they did to start. Next price cut I bet is to $249 next spring, but I could see $299 with Smash this holiday to try to move units.
Thanks, the most I will pay for Wii U is $250, but I don't want a game I'll end up selling back to Gamestop or eBay
If you're referring to Nintendo Land, it really isn't a bad game. Definitely one of the better launch titles and the games are really fun especially if you enjoy most of Nintendo's properties. My favorite of all the attractions is a tough choice between Metroid Blast and Balloon Flight (it's a Balloon Fight/Trip game).
I'll atleast try out any bundle games I get on any console I get, it's a free game
Only Wii U's that were ever outside of a bundle (Launch Wii U Basic set), has sold through the market. Personally I haven't seen a Basic bundle in ages either, what about you?
Japanese console and handheld market is dying a slow, painful death, more so consoles. Dedicated handhelds are bigger than consoles in Japan, but are also way down from their peak sales...or even 2012.
Target Canada put the no bundle Basics on clearance (149.99 CDN) nearly a year ago. A very rare Target or 2 might still have them. Walmart Canada also put there's on clearance for a slightly higher price a few weeks earlier (199.00 CDN.) Shame if Target want to get rid of their gaming section though.
