LOL, women! Am I right, folks? Eh? Ehhhh?
But seriously, they're not going to decide whether or not to release the game based on a bonus costume. They could just take it out.

Nintendo can't really afford not to localize that game, can they? It looks like after the end of this year they'll probably be the only company publishing games for the Wii U, and the 2015 release schedule for the system is looking pretty dismal at the moment. They're going to need all the games they can get and it seems like it wouldn't cost them too much to bring it over. There's a decent niche market for horror games, and ZombiU sold pretty well. It would make for a good October 2015 release I think.
Anyway, if they do bring it over I hope they leave that costume in, but it's Nintendo so I doubt they will.
I doubt that. I don't see Sega, Ubi Soft, Warner, etc. completely writing the system off at this point.Quote:

Warner, yeah, you're right, they'll probably crank out another Lego game by next year.
The point still stands though. That's just two or three other companies that will only be providing extremely minimal support with a couple of games aimed at children. Third-parties aren't going to be releasing their AAA titles on the Wii U anymore, so Nintendo is going to have to pick up the slack.
Nintendo's store sells them for 200 dollars, that is a better deal. I got mine when Mario Kart 8 was offering a free second title. It comes with Nintendo Land too (which sucks).Quote:

I thought they were staying with Nintendo beyond the 3-game deal.
Sonic is a big franchise still (I have no idea how), unless they hated money or something Sega we're bound to bring it back to other console owners at some point. Unless Nintendo paid them a shit ton of money for exclusivity, but i'm not sure Nintendo have that kind of money at the minute.

I'm either going to try and take mine back to the store or get Nintendo to give me a refund. I can't believe they put their name on this turd.

I don't think that's the one Nintendo made. The ones Nintendo made were these:
http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-Ga...ros+Controller
Though if you want one that's a Classic Controller, you probably want this one by HORI instead:
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Lu...ros+Controller
Yeah that one was made by PDP, but it's fully endorsed by Nintendo. Their logo and box art were all over it. There are also princess Peach and Yoshi versions. Hori makes good stuff, but I'll probably just by a wii classic controller.
Having a Wiimote dongle on your lap while trying to play with a Classic Controller feels 'weird'. Like a man just resting his tool on you.
I wouldn't know. I've never had a man rest his tool on me.
You could just, set the Wiimote beside you? The cord on the Classic Controller is definitely long enough to reach.Quote:

Asking for a friend, does the Smash Bros Gamecube adapter work on Mario Kart 8?
My google searches just resulted in news articles that say no, then yes, then no again with no decent answers.
How about this cubicle?Quote:

Genesis does what Ninten doo - doo.
LOL that would make for a great art installation.
So I know Sonic Boom is definitely not going on the recommended game list, but has anyone tried out Watch Dogs? If so what were your thoughts on it? Is it worth recommending if you have a Wii U?
Also did we get any new Wii U owners over Black Friday and Cyber Monday? I know there were quite a few good deals going around.
And if anyone's interested, I've written a review for Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 here:

I tried putting the Wii dongle in my pocket and it feels a lot better playing with a Classic Controller now. It is like having a happy mouse in there.
Although now I am angry Super Smash Bros keeps changing the controls back to default.
I haven't tried it but I can tonight and tell you if it works. My guess is going to be no because I'd assume games need program support for it, but I could be wrong. I did try it in vWii mode and it didn't seem to work. Though homebrew devs have got it working in NintenDon't for GC compatibility so who knows.Quote:

And before anyone starts up with crap like "Well you should already have a DVD or Blu-ray player by now, so you shouldn't need it for that".
Actually....no. No i do NOT own a standalone DVD or Blu-Ray player, and i've been wanting one too lately. I was hoping these would be sweet extras that came with buying $300+ "modern" game system....
So after forking over a little over $300 for a Wii U, i'd need to also spend $60-$70 on a decent DVD/BD player. And have my set-up more cluttered than it needed to be, with both Wii U and disc player.
You see?? Its these subtle, yet FUNDAMENTAL out-of-touch points about today's Nintendo which is why the company is in the state that its in currently. I'm tempted to give up and not even look at the Wii U again simply out of p[rincicpal.
Its bad enough this thing is going to miss out on the majority of great 3rd party titles but, its not even a CONVENIENT device for the consumer.
Sorry for ranting, this just pisses me off. WTF nintendo :mad:
How have you avoided buying a DVD player for the last 15 years?Quote:

Correct, the Wii U is a gaming system first. It does have Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime on it though. Official BluRay and DVD Playback requires licensing agreements with Sony, Phillips, etc. which costs money, which would raise the price of the system. Honestly just buy a BluRay player. You can get them pretty cheap these days. For what it's worth the PS4 can't even play Audio CDs.Quote:
