 Yeah, there was an official Nintendo Player's Guide for the Game Boy Camera. And yes, I bought it back when it was new. Hell, it still looks new. Also couldn't find the box for my first Game Boy Camera, though I'm sure it's hiding somewhere; I am a video game hoarder.  And now the 3DS has a camera and nobody cares.

I'd kill for some full-on Nintendo weirdness outside of the Wario/Rhythm Heaven games, since I'm so sick of the sterile, family-friendly feel of the recent consoles.

Chaltab posted:FIFA 14 is coming to the Wii but not the Wii U. It's not exactly a great measure of whether or not a console can reasonably still be considered alive and supported. The Wii version of FIFA 14 is literally FIFA 12 with a new roster, just like FIFA 13 was. It costs EA basically nothing to make. deadwing fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Aug 28, 2013 |

ChibiSoma posted:Does there exist a WiiU owner who doesn't play with their gamepad tethered to the AC Adapter at all times? It's a black hole. If it's going to need plugging in at least once a day, just play with the drat thing permanently attached and stop worrying about battery life. I bought that Nyko extended battery and twisted the cables the way shown in the video on the amazon review and it has worked flawlessly for 13+ hours at a time, max brightness, since I bought it. So no, I do not have it tethered at all.

ChibiSoma posted:You know what I like about the 360 controller? I don't have to stop what I'm doing and plug it in to anything when the batteries are low. I just replace the drat batteries and I'm good for another 20+ hours. I'll never be a fan of controllers that need to be charged. I don't want docking stations all over the god drat place. So you're the reason why Microsoft went for AAs again with the Xbone instead of an internal battery!  Suit yourself I guess, but all batteries do is create an aftermarket for battery packs/rechargables/batteries, the latter also contributing to the growing pile of toxic waste we have to deal with. The Wii U Pro controller comes with a 2m USB cable so now if any of my PS3/Wii U controllers run out, I just charge them while I play. I prefer that over having to pay extra money one way or the other. I also massively prefer that to having to juggle (and recharge) about a dozen Eneloops between all my Wiimotes and old handhelds and poo poo.

Wii U's weekly sales in Japan dropped from 12,000 to 7,000. Wonderful 101 exceeded expectations for its failure, joining Madworld in P*'s Sub-10k Opening Week Club with sales of 5,258.

It's going up against Grand Theft Auto 5. W101 requires people to already have a wii-u which most people don't. Where as GTA5 is on systems that many people already own.

Eh, I have it bought and paid for (thanks to birthday giftcards).I just need to wait for it to release. But yeah, GTAV (which I'm also buying the same week) is going to absolutely obliterate it in sales. I really do not understand why Nintendo chose to release it then instead of the end of August.

I know which one I'd rather play (hint: it's not the one that had a terrible entry in it's last outing and has been completely supplanted by another series that remembered what made the games fun). Wonderful 101 is a good summation of what has gone horribly wrong with the gaming industry. It doesn't matter if it's the greatest game ever or god awful junk. It's different and that makes it just about impossible to sell.

Blaerrgh. Calling GTAIV terrible is intellectually dishonest. The technology was new then and it completely overhauled the series. Like GTAIII, it basically set the template for everything that would follow, including the much more feature rich GTAV. Enjoy your knockoff, I'll be in my atomic blimp.

It definitely wasn't a terrible game but I can't say I enjoyed it that much. It's one of the very few games this gen that I just gave up on halfway through. Thankfully yes, GTAV looks like a huge improvement. I'll be grabbing it and W101 when they come next month and alternating playing them or something. Shame Nintendo didn't release W101 here this month so I can play it in the gap between SR4 and GTAV

Except for the part where the game crashes at the same point for me during a main story mission making it impossible for me to progress. Lost and the Damned was the worst GTA anything I've ever played though. Good lord that was awful. e: and i can say 100% that the combat in GTAIV and its episodes is completely bad. the cover system and movement is stiff and terrible and done better by just about every other cover based game this generation

Sounds like the Basic console is officially discontinued and the 2 premium bundles (the current one and the WWHD one) will be $300 starting September 20. http://kotaku.com/wii-u-price-drops-50-effective-september-20-1214840727

I used to say that the difference between Grand Theft Auto being good and all of the terrible Grand Theft Auto knock-offs was that the knock-offs tried to be realistic. GTA4 was GTA falling into that same trap. I hated the game with a passion; it was completely unfun to me. If a game isn't fun, then it has failed at a basic level and is terrible. How's that "intellectually dishonest"? And to pull this back to the Wii U, Lego City Undercover is a better GTA game than GTA4 was.

The most exciting bit of this for me is the hope that Wind Waker HD is coming out on September 20th, instead of the October 4th release date gaming sites were just talking about a few days ago. The image they posted on their Facebook gives some release dates:  That's only a few weeks closer but makes me so much more excited. I can't wait to play it.

The retail version is still out on 10/4.
