Dude the controller infogram on the back is beyond confusing, I'm still not sure if it tops out at 4 players or 5?

 

Once again the Gamepad screen is useless, even looking down at the map is a death wish.

Turned out I was being a numpty and you don't need any motion controls at all for this game - not even a sensor bar, since the Wiimotes pair via Bluetooth...

 

Nice game, but I don't think it (or Smash Bros.) will save Nintendo at this point.

 

This statement makes me incredibly sad.

Had a week without internet visiting parents so decided to finish this off -

Took considerably more than the listed 11 hours, I don't think it logs play time when you're running Steam in offline mode. Think it's my first 100% on a steam game

No longer have access to a gaming pc. Picked up a used copy of Diablo 3 for my xbox 360 and I am impressed with the port to console. Never imagined I would enjoy playing diablo without a mouse & keyboard. It is very enjoyable to sit back and play with a wireless controller, mindlessly hack & slashing. The graphics are great, and some of the gfx changes, for example the Belial fight, are an improvement from the pc version.

The thing is what will save Nintendo? WiiU has got Pikmin, Mario, Mario Kart and now Smash Bros. I think a couple more big name games should be enough to make buying one worthwhile.

Anyway, I hope Nintendo doesn't go down, because the 3DS is almost the only place where I recognise the gaming I grew up with. I don't picture myself ever getting an XBOX, which is funny because the original XBOX picked up on the Dreamcast's legacy at first, but sadly gaming ended up following a different path...

tbh this generation is pants, nintendo, sony and microsoft alike

Wii U controller is a giant carpal-tunnel inducing turd. How can anyone use that thing for more than 15 minutes without wrist pain? Moreso why are people still buying Nintendo shit when the games haven't changed since N64 besides having progressively shittier controllers?

PC gaming is pretty fucking awesome right now.

*buys a AAA game for $5 via steam sale and gets superior graphics/framerate and control method/controller of choice*

Just fought the turtles in Goat Simulator 1.1

(plus managed to get a PS4 controller to work wirelessly on this lappy)

**impatiently waits for alien:isolation and routine**

Anyone playing Lifeless Planet? Looks pretty IDM.

tried the Tomodachi Life demo, def not my thing. it's basically a game that plays itself & you just watch it happen. Kids stuff.

What I think would save Nintendo right now?

Drop the damn gamepad (a-la Kinect) from the package. Make it optional for those who want it. Replace it with one or two Classic Controllers.

Lower the price to 149/99 USD.

Provide an exact release date for a new Zelda game (not a HD remake).

Finished GTA V - now trying to invest in stocks and shares so i can buy the golf course. Hard to make any good money though now, most things i invest in keep losing money :(

The stock market and assassination side missions are closely related, have you done those?

yeah i read some blogs the other day talking about that, think I've missed my main chance really for making serious $$$. i might start again from the beginning and get more in to that.

also gutted to have killed off trevor without paying much attention (i tend to skip all the story bits)

cheers :)

Killer Instinct season 2, dooodz.....

I gave the Destiny alpha a try last night, seems good, kinda Halo meets Borderlands. Web-scrounged pics:

I'm still waiting for my Beta code (which I should have gotten since I preordered)!

Battlefield Hardline Beta is pretty cool/fun - think Battlefield in a cops vs robbers setting/urban combat.

This was for the alpha, beta is next month I think.

Hardline is indeed a laugh, definitely lets you live out the Michael Mann's 'Heat' dream.

No, Bungie's site said June 12 - people are already supposedly getting their beta codes (if what's being said on Bungie's Facebook page for Destiny are true).

holy cow Wind Waker looks amazing in HD, almost like watching a Pixar movie.

"Beta begins on 07/17/14 on PS4™ system and PS3™ system. Soon after on Xbox One and Xbox 360. Beta date subject to change." (Bungie)

I know the alpha codes went out yesterday because, well... I was sent one :)

Yes, yes it does - now, only if they'd do Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks in a similar way (although there are rumours about a Majora's Mask remake being in the cards).

Probably only makes sense for anyone who has played the Destiny alpha this weekend:

I got my Destiny Alpha code. gonna download it overnight tonight and play it tomorrow.

You mean, the DS games on wii u using touch screen? I quite liked the ds games. They were essentially >fun< games to play (especially spirit tracks, which fine tuned some of the repetitive aspects of phantom.
