Ended up getting TP instead of WW since it was on sale. Hope it's good. Even if it's only okay I'll still probably get WW eventually.

Fwiw as much as I liked the 2d Zelda games I've played, the more I think about the lack of upcoming releases or any sort of announcement the sadder I get about it. I quiet like this system and its a shame they're not doing much for its fan base in what'll likely be its last year.

Edit: I've still got a few games left for the system to hold me over. Provided the NX looks good I should be okay til then. Hopefully Mirage is good.

And I'm glad I've got Kirby on the way too (albeit not for this system).

WW is worth at least 2x as much as TP. Hope you paid less than 1/2.

Minecraft: Wii U Edition is getting a physical release on the 23rd of June in Japan. I guess the rest of the world will follow shortly.

No worries. About half.

My first thoughts are that it doesn't look that good. I know it's an HD remaster of a gc game but I sorta thought they would've made it look nicer or do something with the frame rate because it feels jerky sometimes.

Also, I hope it picks up speed because this is the slowest opening to any game I've ever played. I still have every intention of getting WW though.

The frame rate jerks are just TP's way of registering hits with the sword.

Did they ever patch TPHD to keep the framerate from dropping when you play on the gamepad screen?

Do kids play unmodded Minecraft? I wouldn't know, but I'm curious how popular the console versions are in comparison with the actual thing.

My understanding is that kids will play Minecraft in any possible form. At the company picnic somebody's like 4 year-old grandson was playing Minecraft Pocket Edition pretty much all day.

I've heard that the console and pocket versions sell way more copies than the PC one these days. And with its general marketing towards all ages, having it on console it a great way to play it as a family with your kids, instead of going through the trouble of having multiple computers and figuring out a LAN setup or paying for a server monthly.

Look on the bright side.



I'd imagine that unmodded console or handheld Minecraft would be way more popular with children.

I kinda wanted to grab the Wii U one cause of that Mario world pack but Notch's meltdown makes it a little hard.

Notch won't profit off of anf purchases of Minecraft nowadays, he doesn't own it anymore.

Sony posts the top selling games on the Playstation Store each month and Minecraft is usually somewhere in the top 5 on PS3/4/Vita every single time

It's so weird, you'd think everyone that wanted to play it would own it by now but it just never stops selling somehow

It's... pretty much how it works? Microsoft bought it from him for the billions of dollars that can't heal his sad-brain. I mean, I guess he might have some residuals in that contract, but I haven't heard anything about that.

Well, not yet. They did say they will make better use of it sometime in the future.

However, it does use the gamepad's microphone for voice chat. :v:

Based on the Sonic twitter, I am willing to believe almost anything is Sega canon, if you want it to be.
