I've been using a third party charging cradle for ages with my two normal WiiMotes, so I probably won't get this. It doesn't work for my Plus controller, but I only use it for motion plus games or when I have more than two people around, so I don't mind using normal AAs for it.
I haven't got a Wii U yet, but I will definitely be getting Gunman Clive when the discount hits. Might get Mighty Switch Force as well, but haven't decided yet.
I was one of the runners up for the Castlevania competition, so I can't really complain, but to be honest I would have preferred the eShop credit... Oh well, congratulations to everyone who won! Hope you spend it on something good
@Shiryu So you're not going to buy anymore of their games because they made a bad one? Then I guess you can't buy any game from any developer ever again...
From the short gameplay clips in the video, this game actually looks really good, and something that's right up my alley. No doubt they would make more money if they just released it now as an eShop game, but its pretty cool that they are making this a boxed game. I might just go for the early adopter award and get a copy, but I'll think about it first. I'll definitely give a bit of money now though
If this has any hope to sell consoles, it cannot be released at full price and it has to have a LOT of exclusive features. You can get a copy of this for less then £5 on other platforms if you look around online, and most people have played it already since it came out more than a year and a half. I doubt this will change anything to be honest.
Why do they have to tease me a week in advance? Now I have to wait a whole 6 days in anticipation, only to be disappointed by the next Pikachu lookalike which is useless in battle... I'm looking at you Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu and Emolga...
Well this is disappointing, I was quite interested in this game... And by the time it gets fixed I'd had probably spent my money already. How could they screw up so badly with a simple language translation and NTSC to PAL? A year and a half since the original release no less?
I think this is going to be a Shinobu spin-off, which is good because she was one of the most interesting characters in No More Heroes. Lets just hope she actually controls well in this game. (Stupid Million Gunman Stage...)
This is reassuring, and just tells analysts and Nintendo that more games need to be released. Please Nintendo, bring forward Pikmin 3, and sales will go up even quicker
Who would buy this game digital when you can get it for £15 on disc? Not a big loss at all, but I really hope someone other than Crytek gets the IP, because they have been very anti-Nintendo in the past.
The demo for this game was fantastic, except from the boss. The difficulty of it turned me off this game... I thought the game was amazing up until that point, then it just turned cheap and not fun at all.
As I have reiterated hundreds of times before, I will only ever go digital if prices are below that of physical copies. Why should I have to pay the full retail RRP when the cost manufacturing of discs/carts with boxes and instructions and shipping is eliminated? Even with same day first class delivery with new games on Amazon, physical games are almost always cheaper than the respective downloads.
If they lower the price to a reasonable level, fine by me, I'll download a retail game now and again. But until that happens, no thank you.
I'm considering importing this from the US, but with the postage probably being through the roof to the UK, I'll definitely wait for a review. Sounds extremely good so far though
Wow, Mercenaries and Heroes of Ruin are actually at a competitive price. This is a step in the right direction Nintendo Square Enix and Capcom, might actually consider buying retail download for the first time from the eShop.
Reading some of his tweets, I have to say he really does sound like a douchebag, even if you take out all this 3DS stuff going on. And frankly, I don't want to support him, he can keep Fez.
Good, this had no purpose apart from collectors value. I see no good reason why Nintendo would waste manufacturing and shipping costs in making this. Anyone can easily buy a used Wii off eBay for less than £60 which has online and GC support.
I really like the PS3 version which I have, so I tried out the demo. Its ok, but the framerate is horrendous. Might buy the first Sonic Racing game on DS since that got a 8/10 here.
If I ever get this game, I may need to buy the Bulbasaur figure. Because I freaking love Bulbasaur.
At least they give the option to get Pokemon like you did before I assuming from the trailer. Maybe the figures are more powerful or have exclusive moves?
This is good news. Asda have relatively cheap games, albeit a limited selection in their supermarkets. Hopefully this means we'll get a dedicated game retailer with actual decent prices. Plus, since Asda is owned by Walmart, they're basically rolling in money.
@apowes I know, I'm glad that Nintendo gave us notice on the Donkey Kong Countries removal, but publishers should tell us of removal beforehand and an actual reason for their removal. Sim City was the worst, no official explanation (obviously because EA are just greedy since they own the franchise and the release of Sim City 5), but I remember the removal being very sudden...
I would love Meat Boy to be in the game, but it is extremely unlikely because Super Meat Boy isn't on a Nintendo platform. Maybe they can port the game to the eShop?
But if Meat Boy does get into the game, I would be very happy about it

Re: Indie Dev Island Officials Turning To Kickstarter To Fund Boxed DS Game
@Peach64, I don't think they talked about a BBFC or a PEGI rating in the video, so I think its an America exclusive.
