I am sure that no one wants another thread about this. But at my Walmart, Animal Crossing, DK, lego City, and Luigi are selling out within days of each new shipment.

Does this has a connection to do with the demos at Best Buy?

Star Wars Pinball Bringing the Force to Wii U on 11th July

Posted Mon 24th Jun 2013 11:25 by Thomas Whitehead

Patience, padawan
Star Wars Pinball Wii U

When Zen Pinball 2 was released earlier this year, there was a delay before it landed in North America, while Wii U fans were disappointed to miss out on the Star Wars tables as DLC. It may have taken a while, and they've already been available on every other platform for a good amount of time, but it's been confirmed that Star Wars Pinball will arrive as a standalone release on 11th July in North America and Europe, priced at $9.99 / €9.99.

This seems to be the same standalone release that's also arrived on other consoles, which includes three tables — Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett and Star Wars: The Clone Wars — and some additional features to flesh it out. You have the chance to choose sides between the Galactic Empire or Rebel Alliance, with dynamic front ends and leaderboards reflecting your individual XP and the broader community's choices. It'll also have the familiar GamePad features, with off-TV play or a dot matrix display on the additional screen.

This has been on a number of pinball enthusiast's wishlists for a while, we suspect. Will you be picking this up, or would you have preferred the option of buying individual tables?

If Nintendo quit hardware, they would exponentially increase their profits.

Hoping the day will come when you`ll say the same about Wii U`s HW and SW!

Not necessarily.

Even thought now they are losing money with the WiiU, Nintendo usually makes money from its hardware, so cutting that size of the business will only make them earn less money.

And althought going third party would mean a potentially bigger market, that doesn't guarantee more sales, which if you add that dev costs would be higher (as they will have to develop the game and then port it to the different platforms where their games will be launched), could actually mean less profits per game and overall.



Please excuse my bad English.

Are you talking about my crisis averted post?

I think i might have skipped that post. What was it all about?

I said that regarding your post on how well some games are selling.



i personally think 3DS will always be either #1 or #2 in Japan. But the WiiU will never be #1 or #2. PS4 will either be #1 or #2. 3DS and PS4 will probably occasionally switch on sales.



They are only doing their jobs! I think you made someone cry today. :D

The BB Wii U area sounds really cool.
