Welp, if this is true, then it kills pretty much any reason I may have had to ever get a Wii U. *shrug* The new Zelda game was pretty much the only reason I was even half-assedly considering a Wii U in the first place. So, it looks like I might just be skipping a generation of Nintendo consoles. Wouldn't be the first time. Though this, of ( Read more... )

This right here, though? Unlike the Mario 64 thing I posted about the other day, this is Nintendo actually being stupid evil.

This is not Nintendo being overly aggressive about their IPs. Super Mario 64 is not abandonware (as though that makes it okay if it were). This is Nintendo being relatively sensible about a game that they are still actively selling today on their current generation console. This is not them shutting down Youtube videos of LPers playing their ( Read more... )

"What the hell Nintendo. You are still doing this shit on Youtube? I was having a god damn great time and wanted to tell everyone and share how much fun I was having and my recommendations and THIS is how you respond. A copyright claim?

Screw you, Nintendo. And to think that I'd actually been vaguely considering the possibility of getting a Wii U at some point, what with it being the only console of the current gen that I cared about even a little bit. Oh well. So much for that, I guess. *sigh*

And, on a related note, what in the fuck is that shit about "starter ( Read more... )

I don't disagree with what these guys say (either the GameStop CEO or the author of the article). As soon as they release a proper Zelda and/or Metroid game, the Wii U will probably take off. Hell, just the next Smash Bros. game, which is not too far away, will probably be enough to make that happen. People (or at least me, anyway) buy Nintendo ( Read more... )

I found this to be a pretty entertaining video, from the six minute rant at the beginning about having to wait for games to download updates while they waited for the game to download updates (seriously, though, if you're only interested in seeing the game itself, just skip to around 6:15 or so), to the extreme close up stuff with the Wii U camera ( Read more... )

Hmm.

While I'm pretty sure this won't be the killer app that convinces me to finally get a Wii U, they do say in the article that "Nintendo has come out and said this is not the next-gen Wii U Zelda title that's taking so long to develop" so there's still that to look forward to. This Dynasty Warriors Zelda thing looks kind of cool and all, I ( Read more... )

I'm getting closer to having a reason to buy a Wii U at some point, maybe. Now they just need to announce Simon Belmont.
