@hotkoolaid @Big_Pecks As a Wii U owner and user, I found this year to be a great year for games. Hope there is some light at the end of the tunnel for your console of choice though. XB1 not ruled out yet!
Looks like they already fixed the online. On wireless G speed here and getting very smooth online play. Alby-damned if this wouldn't have gotten a 10 if it wasn't for that, or certainly deserves so. I beat the Bayonetta pack and, while it was great, I think this could very well be Nintendo's crowning achievement. I am hooked. And the online makes it all the better. You can watch games in spectator modes and bet gold on who wins. The mode is a lot more fun than it sounds. Truly splendid.
@thecman25 So every few years when you have the preferable option to upgrade your video card or processor then you are bending over for them as well? Technology always evolves.
I played a certain chapter of this game about 20 times in a row, picking up a lot of loot to unlock the biggest buy out of the game, the platinum ticket. A chapter called The Witch Hunts. Never got bored once. That is saying something.
In response to Mr. Miyamoto and as a huge Nintendo fan, or Nintendo fan boy (you can choose) I will defend both him and the other audience. For the other side of the fence there have been some games that Nintendo has made with a lot of sameness in them, notably the side scrolling Mario series (not the 3d ones) that offer small changes in the games with little effect. With no changes in the story whatsoever. I am even on the fence about picking another one up, unless they make some serious changes to them. Now in Nintendo's defense. Most of their games DO have big changes in them that you simply do not find on any other consoles. Their Hardware is very innovative when you dig into the Wii U or 3ds and has great capabilities and ways to play the game, especially the Wii U. Their hardware is almost more innovative than a lot of their games, which many of them do not fully utilize the Wii U to it's full potential. 3DS is generally fine with their games as the stereoscopic 3d is a given when you buy a 3ds game. And yes they do milk Zelda and 3D mario games once every few years too, but they all typically have major changes to them in terms of gameplay. Hell, a lot of Legend of Zelda games are very different from each other and that started back in 1987, Zelda II: Adventure of Link was completely shakin up and really there are not many games to this day that can compete with it's uniqueness, especially for it's time. All 3d Zelda games offer very different and compelling, surprising themes and the way of telling a story, and the story itself. I personally think Nintendo is the best gaming company for me, because they manage to entertain me again and again with unique and new ways to play video games with my favorite characters while introducing new ones from time to time as well, their hardware innovation simply cannot be touched. I own Playstation 4 as well, and I like it... but still waiting for the great, great games, such as Dragon Age: Inquisition. But let's face it, it is not unique and capable as the Wii U in terms of gameplay options, and does not feel like a small form factor PC at all. However Wii U has been out for a year longer now in it's defense. I've rambled on long enough. I will say, finally, if anyone from Nintendo is listening if you plan on releasing more Mario 2d platform games with the same exact linear story as you have been making in the past, then you should only charge 29.99 for that title. I am thinking of trying Mario Maker, but I think that you should include Mario Paint with it as optional with mousepad and mouse, like you did on SNES. It would even open new possibilities for the Wii U. If you made it this far in my rant, my heart goes out. Thanks for reading and have a great day/night. Wherever you are out there. Peace.
@St0rmgazer I agree and that's why gaming news and review sites are even more important nowadays than they ever were for a guide in the right direction.
@montanheiro75 @ekolite Yes, I see that now. Actually near the end of the first Bayonetta now and I spoke too soon. The game holds up great and is quite brilliant.
