If Nintendo can get this Third party thing to work out along with actually making games that will utilize the new controller along with making games that can be used with the Pro controller, they will demolish the competition. or at least every new PS item wont be WAY over priced.

 

Right until Sony and Microsoft release their new consoles and no one will bother making third party games for the Wii U, because everybody wants to flex their graphics muscles on the new NEW consoles.

 

LOL, so true. All Sony or Microsoft have to do is (and may have already done so) rattle off some near-final specs to developers, and the Wii U will unfortunately suffer the same fate as the Nintendo 64 and GameCube. People aren't going to fall for the Wii again.

 

Hell, even the Wii U looks like a Wii - imagine the clueless parent who at Christmas goes to get their kid's "Wii game" and ends up picking up a Wii instead of a Wii U and thinks they are smart as hell since the Wii will probably be down to 99USD by then.

yeah i know, its really sad. i just wish i could give people the benifit of the doubt that they will buy games cause they're good. but all the public wants is a game that looks real. im just so sick of playing games that are 10 hours long!

Plus, a lot of people were wondering where all the third party support for the Wii U had gone. Last year Nintendo were talking about massive third party supporters (remember that video they showed of big time developers talking about how interesting it would be to develop games for the Wii U?) but at this year's E3 the only truly visible supporters were Ubisoft...... and EA... maybe? I don't even remember if EA showed any exclusive Wii U games?

10 hours is not enough for you? I could see complaining about 6 hours or less, but 10-12 is about average for a decent length game...

But don't worry, there are enough Nintendo fans out there who will buy the Wii U for the first party games. I mean, who doesn't want to play the next big Mario game? Unless, it's Super Mario Sunshine 2 of course.

UbiSoft I think was the only one showing any non-ported games, and even then, they never said "exclusive" to my recollection.

I predict Super Mario Wii U (unless it's a pack-in game) will be the worst selling Mario game so far - I just don't see any real innovation in it other than the HD and some new costumes.

dude, no......just.......no. that better be a joke. 10 hours is not a game. thats a game i beat in one sitting. most of the games i play are at least 40-50 hours. the longest game ive ever played hit at about 150 hours in one play through. but jokes on you cause you can't fully complete the game in one play through. you have to play the game twice. so really its a game that is about 300 hours.

Yes x 2. But then on the other hand, New Super Mario Bros. sold 25 million copies, so even if the next one drops with a couple of million copies I still think Nintendo will be ok. The cost of a new New Super Mario Bros. game can't be that much.

yeah probably, its really just the same game over again.

LOL @ "Cloud" saves

Heh, I actually had no idea what it meant until just now - In my mind they were trying to flog the feature that the save files had an icon of Cloud or something !

lol at cloud anything.

Games = serious business

I've just downloaded the GBA emulator and I have so far most of FFs and Yugioh... Well, I can't download all the games but, first, need to finish those.

no. just no.

Just finished the Forza 4 leaderboards, placed 30th in the world out of 2 and a half million or so players. Now I'm playing Grid, Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, F1 2011 and Dirt 3. I'll move back to Skyrim sometime this week and restart after downloading the expansion.

 

Going to get Magic 2013 soon too.

 

Oh, and of course, Minecraft.

Wow.

whats going on here. why is everyone ganging up on me. lol.

you know, no one, and i mean NO ONE, on this site knows more about games than me. i havent played every game, but i sure as hell played more games than anyone here. i bet i have more games for one of my systems than most of you have played in your entire life. so no one here can tell me whats what when it comes to video games.

and if there happens to be someone who does know more than me, however unlikely, then you sir/ma'am will be my best friend forever. lol

 

you know, this actually intrigues me. if the mods dont mind, id like to issue a challenge. that everyone takes pictures of all their video games. to see who owns more games. and games on Emulators and Steam also count. just take a screen shot of those. ill start a thread for it.

Edited June 27, 2012 by Frankie5fingers

What?

I'm not gonna fix this burger touch where this goes with a 10 foot pole...

oh don't worry. its nothing. but i do wanna see what games everyone owns. im what you call a TRUE hardcore gamer. not one of those people who claims to be cause they own Skyrim. which by the way is not a Hardcore game. (don't get me started on that).
