I can't believe "the news" turned people into such absolute bitches on a whim. All they have said is that a portion of the game turns it into a sorta rhythm game which seems to make sense to me especially considering the levels mentioned are timed to fit a song anyways. The other option would be to have Rayman run on his own which means you could only interact by hitting a single button to jump/hit things and that would be...exactly the same. I like the idea of mixing up the game, when have people stopped enjoying things? For the record, I've played the game as both Rayman and the-guy-who-controls-the-GamePad and it's fun both ways.

SyRauk posted:The deluxe version is completely sold out everywhere. This is my punishment for not keeping up with anything. Maybe they'll have more when Christmas rolls around? Come to Germany, all our stores still have preorders wide open. Of course you'll end up paying 30% for the same product but that's ok because you also won't have TVii!

computer parts posted:If you've already got an external hard drive ready I don't really see a reason to buy the deluxe edition unless you want NintendoLand. As for me, I went for the 50€ extra because a) I want Nintendoland b) black looks nice and c) the 10% saved on digital purchases (hopefully!) applies to eShop games such as Trine et al. as well, not just to full retail games. I pretty much never buy those digitally on consoles but saving 10% on Virtual Console stuff and smaller games over two years might still add up to 10-20€. In that case, 32GB might actually last me a while, too, although I do have an external HDD around if it gets too bad.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:The secret downside is that it'll take forever for most of the content providers to show up, and it'll be absolutely worthless to anyone not in America Fixed. As far as NoE is concerned, TVii doesn't exist, the only reason I've heard about it is because of this thread. Speaking for Germany though, it'd be impossible to implement because our streaming media are nowhere near as delevoped. There's pretty much only two providers (Sky and LoveFilm/Amazon) and they're both complete garbage.

greatn posted:I wasn't interested in Rayman, ironically, until the news you don't control Rayman that turned everyone else off. The game looked way too frenetic for me and too busy, and not something you explore, but the revelation that you actually are effecting the stage while Rayman does stuff makes it more of a puzzle game where you come up with solutions to obstacles, which is a lot more up my alley. For the record, that's just a portion of the game; in fact, how big or small a portion it supposedly is is what caused the minor shitstorm here. So far, all the demos show the game as a "proper" jump'n'run (I played it at Gamescom) and while the part you mention does exists (and I am looking forward to it), it's not the whole game. Still a good preorder.

So is the "heft" of the Gamepad Pro, by the way. Can we dial back the "prereleaseness" of this thread a bit, maybe? You people freak out over literally anything when hardly anyone in here has even touched the thing or played a game. (I know that's the reason why but seriously, chill out.)

Couple of small bits of news: EDGE posted a nice preview/hands on of some of the games in Nintendoland. For you US folk, while amazon.com doesn't offer preorders on the console, they do offer them on the GamePad Pro for some reason, so if you think you might have a hard time finding that it might be worth putting down an order with them. For us EU people, amazon.co.uk listed the "Join Or Die" edition of Assassin's Creed 3 for preorder (60 GBP), the only outlet to do so so far. I don't care much for special editions in general, but if you're into that, it might be good to know it's coming.

greatn posted:I really don't get the loving deal with Zombies. It's almost as ubiquitous as "BACON!" and seems like a huge in joke every one except for me is in on. Is it that people have found a fictional class of person it is morally acceptable to slaughter? It's not just you, zombies seem like this decade's pirates and ninjas and do absolutely nothing for me. I liked games such as Dead Rising, back when it was a novelty, but it has long worn out its welcome for me. poo poo like zombies in RDR, COD, Yakuza et al. just seems like monkey cheese to me and I ignore it on principle.

WiiU is available all over Europe still; I really think the preorder craze in the US is a case of either artifial scarcity on Nintendo's end or just retailers covering their asses because they don't know how many more units above a certain threshold they'll get in stock. I would imagine some of them will get extra alotments for preorders or are holding back stock for midnight releases etc.; don't panic.

I meant it more in the sense of them only guaranteeing Gamestop 50k units right now so Gamestop only sells 50k preorders but in the end, they'll be able to ship them 90k units or whatever. Basically the numbers aren't set in stone and either Nintendo themselves or the retailers are erring on the side of caution so they can fill all their preorders.

Bobnumerotres posted:As I said the game is difficult, just like Demon/Dark souls. Some people are going to get stuck on the Taurus demon forever and call it a lovely game, others will push on through and love the feeling of accomplishment. MH is not for everyone, it's for people who love a challenge and love completing games 100%. That's all cool and stuff, however (and note that I am completely impartial here; MH isn't my genre), you'd have more success getting someone to accept your opinion if your argument wasn't based on the player either passing some arbitrary skill barrier (and thus liking it) or being too bad at the game (and thus not liking it). It comes off as unnecessarily elitist; I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't enjoy the game even though they wouldn't flail around at the first boss forever.

I don't buy any games at full price, no game is worth more than 30€ to me. I either wait a couple weeks after release or I order them in the UK, where they run pretty good discounts right away usually; Steam sales are also an option. As is buying used. I guess publishers would argue that if there were only people like me, games wouldn't be profitable (which I'd argue) but since there are plenty of people willing to pay full price, I am more than ok with having them offset my savings.

I am trying to think of shooters (because it's that and Madden/FIFA) that haven't been discounted after a month and I can only come up with the CoD franchise, which has Nintendo first party game levels of price stability. I should have mentioned I don't play console shooters, but your argument is valid in those cases.

I mean relevant as in state-of-the-art. Blu-Ray has definitely left the "early adopters/enthusiasts only" phase of it's lifecycle and is moving into the mass market at a massive rate. At least here in Germany, it seems like DVD releases are an afterthought to the Blu-Ray.

Jesus what did I start. All I meant to say I that GameStop gets paid (by Nintendo) to display that WiiU, not to decide it's too much of a hassle. I worked at GameStop (in Germany) and we always have to make sure paid displays (such as the Blizzard corner) were set up properly, otherwise corporate would bitch because whoever paid for it would bitch.

AngryCaterpillar posted:Well we know I know it's not part of your argument but this is, and (for the forseeable future) never will be, true for digital purchases on consoles as long as they make the price equivalent of the MSRP and call it even. Games go on sale for 50% and more all the time if you know where to look, good luck getting prices like that on PSN/XBLA/e-shop. Buying digitally is pissing away money and the sooner people realize it, the sooner we might reach actual price parity.

Mandrel posted:Well, I mean, as long as they're maximizing profits I guess I'm ok with it then. Wait a second, what the gently caress am I talking about and when did I become a shareholder in Nintendo LLC or whatever? When did people start accepting poo poo from game companies and excusing it because "well it probably made financial sense for them." Jesus Christ. It's not about "accepting poo poo", it about people forgetting time and time again that video games are a business. I am also not "excusing it", I am stating that it's much more likely that they didn't do it because I doesn't make financial sense than because of some technical issue that may or may not exist. Lastly, I would like to see Wii games upscaled as well but tough poo poo, it's not happening until they decide the investment is worth it.

I feel like having to listen to children on Live is a rightful punishment for playing console shooters voluntarily. Also as a non-American, I love watching Black Friday because it seems like your stores are trying to one-up each other in how many people they can get to injure each other every year, like they're having some weird dystopian challenge between them.

If you're not making money off of impatient nerds you are missing half the fun of console launches. I ended up with 2 Wii consoles on release day because I didn't trust either of the places I preordered at and sold the extra one for ~350€ when they launched at 250€ here. No regrets. It works both ways though, if you were dumb enough to buy PS3s to resell you deserve to lose your money.
