Ubi hasn't said anything about the future plans for Rayman which means the series is probably dead.

Because you couldn't 100% a level on your first playthrough and potentially had to spend 5 minutes replaying it, you turned the game off and never played it again?

I bought MH3U about a year ago for the 3DS and stopped playing after a couple of weeks because it sucked rear end solo and I didn't have a WiiU to play online. Now that I'm getting a WiiU should I just keep the 3DS version or just get a discount copy of the WiiU version?

If you weren't too thrilled about the 3DS version then I would say not to get it for Wii U unless you have buddies to play it with consistently. Playing with random chuckleheads online isn't much better than solo imo. If you reaaly want, you could also have both versions since there's a data transfer tool for your save files.

ps you're in the wrong wii u thread :ssh:

My girlfriend and I bonded with Rayman Legends for the WiiU. She loved playing as Murphy. She also liked poking dudes in NSMBU. I don't think 3D World lets you play solo with someone on the game pad and that made her sad so she got really good at just barely missing platforms as Peach :v:

Wii-U has a severe lack of anime games.


this is a bad thing.

I missed when some of the weirdest maid simulator games or whatever were released in Japan on the 360 only, and then people took that as a sign that Japanese developers must love the Xbox, and not as a sign of how desperate Microsoft was to woo Japanese developers.

Microsoft's bizarre obsession with gaining Japanese market share has always been the most baffling thing. The Japanese game market has literally no growth, there is no money to be made there except in making child porn anime games for otaku. I can only imagine the Japanese otaku game companies they hand sacks of money and beg to make games for them are laughing their asses off all the way to the bank, because not even they want to be making those games, they're forced to because of the state of the Japanese market.

MS middle management has to be a bunch of weeaboos, it's literally the only explanation that makes sense. It also fits with doing stuff like commissioning a loving Halo anime. Maybe like everything else related to Microsoft they're trapped in a time warp in 1995 and still think Japan is going to rule the world with their magic economy?

The only positive developments of Microsoft trying to sell the Xbox in Japan:

1. That pic of Bill Gates eating a burger
2. The Xbox S-controller for Japanese (or normal) sized-hands, which became the 360 controller.

In GOT metaphors the Wii U can only be Daenerys.

Bungie is house Frey, Destiny is the Red Wedding, PS is house Lannister, Xbox is house Stark, and Halo is Walder Frey's wife.

In terms of GoT, the WiiU is Sandor Clegane. Its been beaten fair and square by superior fighters, and after a serious fall, is lying helpless. Due to mistreating others in the past, everyone who could help it has long since abandoned it, and it will be left to die out in the wilderness, alone.

Well console sales have been steadily declining since the PS1, and now handheld sales are starting to decline as well. Iphone games are really popular but that's irrelevant to microsoft.

I do, when I'm trying to 100% the levels. When I play with my kids they're busy either slapping the poo poo out of me / each other or running too far ahead and making us get bubbled.

No it isn't, it's a market that exists therefore they want it. Simple.

Also getting into it at all helps them pick up Japanese third party devs that their rest of the world users might want games from.

Didn't Capcom just dedicate a ridiculous amount of money (something like $20mil) to mobile (smartphone) game development? I cried a lil' bit when I heard that.

There's a free app for Wii U that'll let you take the 3DS version online, so if you have no issues playing on 3DS you needn't buy it a second time.

The WiiU owner is Sookie in this case. Constantly having to choose between the Xbone (Bill) or the PS4 (Eric). Though the PC (Alcide) has been there the whole time...

Also uh idk the 3DS is Jessica and the Vita is Andy
