Thanks for putting this together Ultigonio. Annoying to hear that developers are all talking about how they do not plan to make things for the Wii U.

Natron posted:Can we stop pretending that any games are "mature"? Just because a game has violence and blood and your character is a big macho dude with issues doesn't make something mature. It's basically the equivalent of playing GI Joes on your driveway, it's just far more sophisticated and expensive. I believe he was using the term "Mature" in the way that the ESRB uses it. He means "mature content", not "sophisticated".

SatansBestBuddy posted:Yes you do. Don't let OP bias get in the way of listing all the worth playing Wii games. Personally speaking, this is a Wii U thread, and I'd hate to come in and see 1/2 of the OP be Wii games. Also, if you didn't play the Wii, it's very daunting to have a wall of "recommended" games. When you ask for recommendations, it's usually because you are having a hard time sifting through the massive number of games on the system. Putting a massive number of games in the OP pretty much negates any benefit of narrowing down the games in the first place. And we know how Nintendo fans are. Just because it's your favorite game in the world does not mean it's a generally well received game.

The Taint Reaper posted:That would reduce the Wii-U games to maybe 2 or 3. I disagree, the only ones on the Wii U list that could be excised for not being extremely well received is ZombiU and Wonderful 101. However, because there are so few games on the system right now and they have been generally well received both by people here and critics, I think it's no issue to keep them.

axleblaze posted:I think part of the problem with mentioning what Wii games are worth playing is the Wii was a system that, like most Nintendo post SNES home consoles, were system that had a handful of really great games and then a bunch of okay games that the base told themselves were actually really good because they didn't have all that much else between the really good games. I'm not saying that the Wii didn't have some really amazing games and I'm not saying there aren't some hidden gems, but I've been burned so many times by playing a game that was hyped as being amazing when it really was just okay for a system that had no other similar options. Same thing happens to me on a regular basis because I absolutely do not like turn based RPGs. I also don't like RTS games, but I bought Pikmin 3 because it's a pretty game and I got it really cheap. I'm expecting to not like it, but I knew that before I bought it. Like, people absolutely LOVE Fire Emblem, but as someone who doesn't like strategy and turn based, Radiant Dawn is like my version of video game purgatory.

Kurtofan posted:It did say a Mario 64/Banjo Kazooie, which admittedly is a genre that is lacking games. But that's not what they were giong for. I never understand this kind of criticism. "I wish it was *insert something COMPLETELY different*". Like, if you watch Chopped on the Food Network, when it gets to the dessert round and Amanda Freitag is a a judge, she always says something like "I was hoping for chocolate," when the person made, let's say, a passionfruit creme-brulee. It's like "I made a loving passionfruit creme-brulee, I had no plan at any point to use chocolate, why are you faulting me for not using chocolate?" I can guarantee that that game came into being because they wanted to make a fun online competitive shooter. That's the starting point and the rest of the game comes from it. It's not a legitimate criticism to say "I wish it was a platformer," when they only reason the game exists in the first place was because they had the idea to make an online competitive shooter. That's a really cool car you made, Ferrari, but I wish it was a vaccuum.

Akuma posted:It feels like I've been bullshitted, but at the same time why would they do that, and how would the processes allow that? But on the other hand, how is it possible that a fairly unambiguous problem of every disc coming up as invalid not be reproducible? This time I've sent one of my games with it, but that still feels pointless. I've got big reservations about the people who work in the background there. I ordered 2 refurbished Wiimotes with nunchucks, and they took 3 weeks to ship including 2 weeks that they were in "picking" status. The customer service people kept saying "It makes no sense that it's in picking status and hasn't gone out yet," while the warehouse people gave no update, despite repeated tickets opened trying to find out what was going on with my order. It's like everyone in customer service bends over backwards to help you, while the warehouse/refurb people stonewall customer service and ultimately the customer. I never got an answer why it stayed in "picking" status for 2 weeks from the warehouse, but customer service did end up giving me $20 eShop credit because they hosed up so badly.

Astro7x posted:I'd guess it's because they are not equipped to actually handle large orders, and then stuff like discounted refurb Wiimotes goes viral, and and they have too many orders than actual ready to ship product. Very well could be, although throughout that time, they were never once back ordered. The thing that pissed me off was that they changed the status to "picking" which is the status they put when they have the stock and just need to box it up. Every time I called for those 2 weeks that it was in "picking" status, the answer was "That means it'll ship today or tomorrow", to which I had to constantly say "That's what I was first told a week and a half ago". Hence the numerous tickets being entered to find out what was going on with my order. It still annoys me that I was never given an answer. Absolutely worst experience I had with Nintendo in 25 years of being a customer, and it sounds like I'm not the only one.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare confirmed NOT available for a Wii U. I don't care about that game at all, but Activision not releasing it's biggest game of the year on the Wii U does not bode well for Nintendo's financial future.

My business sense is next to none, but you don't need advanced economics to know that after 3 years of operating losses, 2 of the largest videogame makers have pulled support for games for your system means it's a further loss of revenue. You don't make up operating losses by losing revenue. Plus I quoted your second one to point out that while everyone jumped down my throat for pointing out that financial problems affects us as consumers of their product in terms of quantity and quality of games, everyone is also lamenting on this page that Ubi won't make another ZombiU.

I know that suggesting that Nintendo may have issues in this thread is like telling a mother that her child is ugly, but it's the elephant in the room, and it's at least a different subject than the tri-weekly Wonderful 101 back and forth banter.

greatn posted:This popped up because of someone being SUPER CONCERNED about the next assassin creed and call of duty not coming out for WiiU. As a signal third party support was ending. The problem is that Ubi flat out said they aren't supporting it, which means that it's not only Assassin's Creed that gets dropped, it's ZombiU 2 and any other projects that their team of developers could create (including the long rumored Beyond Good and Evil 2). A lack of choice isn't good for Ubi, Nintendo or us as the consumers. Activision/EA have not said that they have given up support, but they showed no games at E3 for the Wii U and confirmed that Mass Effect 4 and Mirror's Edge 2 (come on, how well would the gamepad work with that) will not be coming to the Wii U. When Ubi confirms that they will not support Wii U, and EA/Activision all but confirms dropping Wii U by showing 0 games at E3 for it, we not only lose Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed and NHL '15, we lose all of the other games that are actually good.

Silver Striker posted:First up is Mario Kart 8. I really like this game, but the graphics just feel... off. I don't really know how else to describe it. They just feel offputting when compared to the other Wii U games I've played. It's not ugly or anything, and it runs well, but it just rubs me the wrong way. It feels a little "plasticy", but I actually like it. Out of the games I've played so far on Wii U, Mario Kart 8 is my favorite graphics-wise (although I expect that to change when I start playing Pikmin 3).

Lemming posted:Nobody cares that you posted that it wasn't coming to the Wii U, people are making fun of you because then you added "so therefore Nintendo is doomed" I didn't say they were doomed, that's the strawman that all the defensive people in this thread set up for me. I said it doesn't bode well financially, which it doesn't. It's pretty much guaranteed to be this year's best selling title, and Nintendo isn't going to get a slice of that pie after 3 years of operating losses. I simply questioned how long the losses are going to go on before something at Nintendo changes. If you go back and read what I actually wrote, I said that they aren't in jeopardy because of the cash they had on hand from the Wii sales. Everyone just gets freaking butthurt if anyone suggests anything other than "everything is fine and dandy at Nintendo." It would not have turned into this at all if we could have a discussion about it that didn't immediately start with name-calling and going for the jugular.

Yeah, I know that. But I also find it to be an interesting topic, specifically because of Nintendo's almost cyclical propensity to be at the bottom one generation and at the top the next. Edit: Also, just because the loudest people in this thread don't want to play Call of Duty does not mean that it's not something that other people care about. I personally hate the Call of Duty series and Advanced Warfare in particular, but that doesn't mean that no one in this thread cares about the series.

I still think it was of note because it wasn't confirmed before yesterday. Ultigonio posted:Yes, he's making the uncontroversial statement, "Nintendo is not doing as well as they could be," and other people respond with the uncontroversial, "Yes, we know." This is where I absolutely disagree. I said some uncontroversial statements, and it was literally pages of people saying I want to see Nintendo doomed. I've been a customer of Nintendo since I was 4 in 1988, which is probably longer than most of them, and I know you, were alive. The response was absolutely not "Yes, we know". It was "gently caress you and die".

I bought the Wii U Pro controller because I've used nothing but those style controllers for my whole life, but I can't give up the gamepad. It's light enough that I don't notice it, ergonomic enough that I love it, and the screen/gyro/mic adds more than you realize. I tried to play Super Mario 3D World with the pro controller to justify owning it, and then instinctively blew on it to see secret blocks. I immediately turned off the pro controller and went back to the gamepad.
