@spoofrice11: First of all, have you tried Super Mario 3d world? If not then go out and buy it or download or whatever, cause it's amazing. Second of all, don't feel bad for owning a Wii U. Everyone that still has one and most that had one for a while love it and cherish it with good memories. It had stellar exclusives and a very impressive eShop. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe should have been a $40.00 game on the Switch. And Smash, how incredible it is on Wii U, you know there i something on the horizon coming soon for Switch. Just don't know what it is gonna be yet. I think if I only had a Wii U and no Switch, I would play it often. Wii U was the era everyone shit on Nintendo for some reason, don't know exactly why. The name was shit, Wii You U? Wtf Wii or U make up your mind lol, the gamepad wasnt perfect, but functional. I will cherish my Wind Waker Wii U forever even if it dies. Anyways as you can tell I have lots of love for Wii U. A pretty poor selling console, by todays standards. A console, no matter how bad it got ,still said **** you people, here is another badass game, rip me to shreds lol.
@solomonmozart: I agree that classic Sonic gameplay has aged like a jar of piss. The control is terrible, also you never know when you are going to fall to your death, or run into an enemy when you are blazing. The concept is cool, but I would rather them make a fantastic 3d entry, which may not happen. I think everyone has gave them enough chances. Bring back Nights or Panzer Dragoon maybe.
Also, for your boy. I recommend waiting for the next Pikmin installment, which he would probably love. Also keep an eye out for the upcoming Yoshi and Kirby games. Pikmin would more than likely be a good step up in challenge for him for sure.
@spoofrice11: Try the tutorial first. Complete the first stage and it guides you through it. Never judge a game sitting idly in the middle. Kind of like watching a movie starting from the middle. Watch it from the beginning and your opinion may differ. And yes this is a fairly non linear game that focuses on exploration, much like 64, but your goals are largely the same throughout. Hope you give it another shot. It's finally starting to get a little challenging for me and, I think I am about halfway through the 17 kingdoms.
The original movie wasn't that big of a hit from memory, just remember going to watch it one weekend when I was a teen cause there wasnt anything else on. Saw a bit of it on tv not too long ago. One of Williams worst movies, only good thing about it at all was the decent performance by Williams and the Animal effects for the time. There was only one major star in the movie which was Robin. So they make a movie filled with stars for the sequel... This movie is another one for the bargain bin in 5 years and for the braindead, and/or other forms of the unsuspecting public.
Most horrid comment section yet. Topics all over the place, ranging from the mob causing social media behavior to bashing Trump. I didn't vote for either of those assholes, but I'm neither better for it. I suppose the Gamespot community has become a sesspool for people to complain about everything imaginable because they don't have anyone around in real life that will listen to their shitt? Ah well. Stay here. So It doesn't get as scattered everywhere else. :)
@csward: Yes and the U.S is still one of the biggest markets for games. They were not only in the right or wrong place in time to jumpstart gaming back but they made the games to do so. In my opinion Sony more than likely would not have released the PlayStation have not been for Nintendo backing out on the deal. This is more factual than argumentative on my part. I am not a fanboy. I respect all gaming including pc. Not just Nintendo.
@EducatingU_PCMR: Lets see here which Nintendo are you speaking of. The company that saved the video game crash in the early 1980s?. An industry that is bringing smiles to gamers and families to this day? Oh right, that Nintendo. Even their mistakes have brought joys to people. They cancelled a cd ad on with Sony that was planned for the Super Nintendo and then Playstation was born because Sony was embarassed and wanted to prove them wrong. People need to do their research before talking smack on a subject of any matter.
Do yourself a favor and don't watch any new movies for a few years. Its really damn good for your brain. Hollywood is dead. In the grave. They ran out of good ideas a long time ago. Just be fortunate that gaming still has a lot of mileage left of good ideas and enjoy that instead. Not trying to preach but it sure made me more of a happy person doing that, really and I am really happy I did that.
