80% for Nintendoland is not bad at all considering some over sensitive Nintendo fan was ripping it and calling it Nintendobland here on the Chartz when it was announced. I forgot who that guy was.

Hahaha :D spot on amp!

 

And Spurge, a score of 80 is "Great" as far as I'm concerned!

50: Average/Mediocre

60: Decent

70: Really Good

80: Great!

90: Amazing!

100: Perfection.

 

Converted to Nintendo games:

 

100: Good.

90: Meh.

80: One of the worst games evar.

70: Teh fuck is up with you, Nintendo?????

60: I got cancer playing this game.

50: My cancer got cancer playing this game.

 


thanks! i forgot about the score translation!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Today I learned that I can read German somewhat without hardly any prior knowledge.

gaming language uses some english words or words similiar to english. as example they say multiplayer but in "real" german it would be "mehrspieler". or "sound" instead of "ton/klang".

and then there are the words similar to the latin stuff like "animationen" which you say "animations" to.


Well it also help that German is one of the base languages that became English. English was the result of a Runic Language (Orginal English spoke by the Angles), German (when the Saxon's invaded) and French (When the French was an imposing empire) all cooking together in Great Britian's early turblent years.

yeah i know but in the pics i posted there is really a lot of stuff which is almost the same in english or german or something which we just say in english for games. if you would read a normal text you would find less of these similarities. i can also understand swedish, dutch and stuff^^

I put the stuff in more for FOX than anything. I just grabbed your response instead of scrolling back up.

OT: While doing some research on the French occupation made me remember that Henry II wife was deeply involved with events that became the story of Repunzel.

Eleanor of Aquitaine was a very strict wife. (Who was married orginally to Luis the Fat of France) and she had a castle in France that I visited. The castle was built over the water with a tower with one window at the top. That was where Eleanor would imprision the mistrisses of Henry II where some of them died. I had pictures of it, its kind of a nice castle. That was the roots of where the brothers Grimm came up with Repunzel.

Often I find games in the 80-89 range alot better then 90-100 games beacuse lets face it alot of them get it just beacuse of hype



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Serious you guys care about reviews anymore ??

Please im buying Wii U even if it gets 1/10, Halo 4 already proved reviewers are full of s*** and cant be trusted.

Sounds good to me, to put things into perspective Wii Sports - a game that gave myself, my family and my friends many hours of entertainment - only had a Metascore of 76.

And for the record, I'm calling it now - ZombiU will have a Metascore of 90+.

That's on topic? *looks at OP*

Anyway, I did know that English has some roots in German (among other things). Now to not continue wrecking this thread.

OT: Metascore predictions, anyone? I expect 80s from quite a few launch games. Maybe a 90 if Little Inferno blows everyone's minds.

hey spurg -- is this suppose to be an actual thread dedicated to wii U game reviews or just a one off thread?

i came in expecting a list of launch games with links to reviews under them. ...which would be a great thread if you are up to making and updating it. your thread title makes this look pretty "official".


OT - no real surprises so far. nintendoland was never going to review well. i'm surprised actually at an 80, seems high for this kind of title from a "core" review publication.



Yes I will pit them all here. Lol, but there are only 2 so far, plus the twonfrom crisscross's German gamepro magazine. When they come the OP will be updated. Little fact everyone missed...this was the first posted review anywhere. Because of cries we even beat neogaf for once!

lol, great!   i'll check back later after more reviews start coming in.

I guess the graphics will be the mains reason why Mario will not score that high even though it might have a lot better game play then most top graphics focused games
