Monolith, that game looks unbelivable. Anyone got a vid of that yet?

The ND is up on Youtube if you wanna watch it again....


could you post a link? thanks

Yeah it just for the labor need to rework the titles. Much like Sony had for the Vita in Japan you had to pay to move your disc based games to digital. Its to cover the money the company invested to make it happen. Oh here's the link to the you tube trailer of the new Monolith Game.

Online co-op and Monster Hunter Vibe. Looks like you are revisited or re-envisioning Xenogears (Since SE/Namco has the rights to the other Xeno games Monolith worked on.)

 

On a side note this was more than I was expecting. This ND is in responce to the upcoming Investor's Meeting for Q3 and to show what is in the future of the WiiU so I didn't expect anything right away. (In terms of the VC.) So we are getting something and cheap. Kind of disappointing we didn't hear about what Retro is doing but we got one of the two. They needed to save something for the next ND/E3. The VC I didn't expect until they did a major update so when they where talking about the two major updates I knew that the VC wouldn't be until then. Thankfully it was the spring on. (Which means late March early April.) Well I'm going to buy Ballon Fight. ;p



ok so I just watched the VC part about the games. So if i'm getting this right, I don't have to upgrade my VC purchases?

Best I can do for you at the moment is tell you to go to the end of this video, but there should be a separate video up of just the Monolith Soft part soon, I'm sure.

Thanks for the link! I watched most of it bu missed the last part because someone entered and forced me to do my job >.> ...


Haha, not a problem. It sure was one hell of a Nintendo Direct.



Ridiculously Japan centric. Will the West buy a single game shown today?



Around the Network

Well, that helped make a lousy morning better.

I will say the only disappointment for me during the ND was that users had to buy the VC games again, it doesn't affect me as much because I only own a few VC game, but I can definitely see how this will anger a lot of people. Even if it's just $1 it should be free.

It would have been nice to see footage for Bayonetta 2 and 3D Mario, but I can wait for E3.



The games don't magically work on Wii U. It takes time and work to get to run properly and to integrate stuff like Miiverse. Yeah, it should be free but you can surely understand why its not.

Yeah, I understand, security issues, extra work is minimal. They just do not want Wii VC to work on Wii U as it'll open doors for possible exploits, so they'r making separate Wii U VC with all functions that expected for it. Should be free.

Well XenoBlade sold more units in the west than Japan...so there's that. As for the rest of actual game footage shown...maybe only the Yoshi game.

Edit: there was also Wii U party or something, that will probably sell well.

That's what I understood. You only pay if you want to Wii U version of the VC titles you purchased for Wii.



Signature goes here!

Zelda WW will probably do quite well... and that new X-game from Monolith... Xenoblade has done far better in NA (and to some extent in EU as well) than in Japan...



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

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