wow......what a waste. I wonder if nintendo will ever rely on third parties again.

[QUOTE="Pikminmaniac"]wait.... So how will this work on the other two systems?FlamesOfGrey

pretty dissapointed they delayed the wii-u version. hopefully this makes it a better game.


btw nintendo you should probably see if you can push up pikmin 3 or the wonderful 101. Because btw you only have 1 game with a solid release date, and its a ''enhanced port of a wii game''.


Could the wii u's first year really be worse then the wii's 2011?

[QUOTE="QuebecNationale"]Well, it looks like i'm not going to buy this game. At least my wallet will sleep a bit easier. It's actually amazing how EA has managed to ruin so many franchises in the past 5 or so years.QuebecNationale

Your loss if actually wanted the game before this. Game isn't ruined because of optional weapons packs that you can still find yourself.

Why do you care what other people spend their money on for video games? I can understand the argument people are making if they deliberately make it a grind to get these upgrades, to try to get people to use the Microtransaction option, but if nothing about the actual game is affected why does it really matter?

It's alot harder to market then the wii, but it's also probably the price.

Check out the full microtransaction details below.

• Bot Capacity Upgrade $4.99
• Bot Personality Pack $4.99
• First Contact Pack Free
• Marauder Pack $4.99
• Sharpshooter Pack $4.99

In a statment of why these microtransactions were introduced Viscerals John Calhoun stated.

"Theres a lot of players out there, especially players coming from mobile games, who are accustomed to micro-transactions. Theyre like I need this now, I want this now. They need instant gratification. So we included that option in order to attract those players, so that if theyre 5000 Tungsten short of this upgrade, they can have it."

So aperantly the reason that we have to pay for these microtransactions is because of these mobile gamers:roll:

You can't get these from anything else in the game? I ask because I've never played Dead Space. If they're optional why does this matter?
