@gamescottsman I also like getting beat by a person in person. If they are in the room, I want to play again, get a little revenge. If it is online I norm just turn the game off. I mean they could be a pro kicking my but, or worse yet a 10 year old girl, I don't know, and maybe don't want to, doh.
@gamescottsman no, sadly, they seem to think that everyone wants to play online with others. I deal with others all the time, I play games to relax. I do like multiplayer sometimes, but I agree, it is much more fun when the person you are playing is in the room with you. I can't get into trash talking a person I don't know/see.
It is still Nintendo, and I will recommend it to any Nintendo fan. It's the only way to get my new Mario and Zelda fix. I would love to be playing borderlands 2 using the controller as a map and inventory screen, but the good folks a 2k didn't need the money, (still griping about that, 2k said no good use for controller???? what better use is their for it, in a game like borderlands?)
@bluepuppy82 Blue I don't think they will have any games that are must play (new Mario galaxy, Zelda, etc.) till late in the year or early next year. You are probably better off waiting anyway. I am using the wii u mostly as a wii system now. I don't know what to do with the old wii box. You will want to keep at least 2 wii controllers when you get a wii u, if you want to play 2 player. The games I have played (Mario, and Nintendo land) don't allow you to use the wii u controller with the wii controller, have to use two wii controllers. I never read anything about that before buying system.
@vatorus @valcrist09 vat, Nintendo will have the wii controllers and will probably add something down the line, the xbox will have Kinect, and then all the tablets with touch controls/motion controls. Nah, motion controls will be bigger this next gen, and probably carry into the future, it only makes since. I'm old school, but think that's the way it's going to be.
@valcrist09 I really like Nintendo, but think Nintendoland should at best be $20. I can buy games all day long for a $1-2 on app store that have more content and are more fun. I just don't see what was innovative. Yes we can post comments to the game, but all the comments I have seen on Mario can be summed up here, this (level) sucks/hard, watch out for (obvious thing). What really bothers me, is why in the world they don't use the game pad as a controller in a multiplayer game. Why couldn't one use game pad and the other wii controller on Mario for example. Really bad decision, there. Also, the controller should have had a little greater range. The only thing the system will be good for the next year is playing wii games on, and vc games, but I still have all the old systems, so could have just broke them out if I'm waxing nostalgic.
The system isn't worth the price. It is a Wii if you have the controllers. And a xbox/ps3 without the game support. The increased prices I think will hurt Nintendo a little. Nintendoland should have gotten lower reviews. They made a lot of bad choices, based on cutting corners and profit. Wii tv is something I still don't know what it is or really care to find out, and haven't programed the remote for the tv. I have a tv guide and controller already Nintendo, but ugh thanks for not including something fun or useful. With the other devices coming out, I wonder how good sony and ms will do this gen. Steam Box? Game prices on pc are a lot better when you can catch the special.
the flaw with that argument is why would they pay for it? If someone pirates a game that doesn't mean they are going to pay for it if they can't pirate it. I would guess maybe one percent of people who would pirate a game would actually buy it if they couldn't pirate it. If that high of a percentage. So tactics that alienate the buying customers are implemented to obtain revenue that will not be obtained. That along with the nickle and dime transactions are what is causing older gamers to spend less. We remember the days of buying a game and having a physical copy we didn't have to make constant monetary investments in.
I read this reply earlier, Mine is a reply to yours actually. For me it is about the atmosphere, the for the virus take is not important, ie zombie. It's about that rare moment of suspense and surprise that earned my anticipation and purchase. I was very hesitant about RE4. I also said I would have to check it out, to see if this review is wanting in perspective. So, I hope you as well are patient in conclusions to others comments. I can handle some action in the game and some new aspects. If it can provide a new experience and still give me that sense of accomplishment for surviving a section, and the thrill and occasional fright, I would think it a great game. Again, I would have to play it first. Just stating a couple of trends I really don't like, some do.
