Big game. I'm not getting it on the U though, I'm getting sick of Nintendo honestly. They're stuck in the past.

I want to support Sony who actually care about going for inspiring the players' emotions.

Even if the sales suck at this point, I really don't care anymore. Nintendo are at that point where they need to fuck up real hard and understand what their competition is doing well, open their eyes and join. I will be waiting for that moment.

Now is the time where Nintendo needs a serious reality check. Sales isn't the be all end all of gaming, neither is gameplay.

In fewer words, I want them to lead the industry, but they're just not yet able to do it. Until then, I hope them much learning.

Didn't know the thread had become an opinion column for desperate souls.

Unless Sony or MS bow out of the console market, things will remaiin as it is.  Its all about $. Last time Ninty was on par in terms of power(GC), it didn't help them.  I admit, after rebuilding the nintendo name and reaping huge, obscene profits with Wii, I thought (hoped) Nintendo would take advantage and reinvest in power, to get that pure gamer back on top of the casuals.  Sadly, they didn't.  Nintendo should be more aggressive as far as their console being the one stop solution, but again it will play 2nd fiddle, if even that, to PS720.

What pisses me off most is how nintendo completely ignores the sports genre...software sales that exceeds 30-40 mil per yr.  I love my ninty ips, but I have to have the realest sports experience as well. so now, I'm forced to buy the competition to get my sports fix.  Since sony fans  annoy me to death, I'll probably buy another MS console (barf).

I don't think arrogant nintendo will ever "learn", but it will take one of sony/ms to bow out, where 3rd party becomes viable business again.

Sports genre? Most boring and useless genre ever. Yoga ain't gaming!

Gameplay isn't the be all, end all of gaming? I don't understand.

It looks pretty cool, but don't know if I'm getting it for Wii U, PC or something else... But it's definitely a good thing for Nintendo!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

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

It's all about the feels. Kinda ironically placed rant given this is probably the most relevant third party game to people that want those things the most that Nintendo have had on one of their platforms in about a decade.

Anyway, I'll be buying this.

@ happydolphin: The problem with going on a war with Msoft/Sony on specs is that the result is an expensive console. And who would buy a 400/450 € Nintendo console?

Let's face it, Nintendo has earned fame of producing cheap, fun systems and games. Look at the 3DS and now the WiiU and how they can't sell them as good as they thought. Lack of games? Sure, but also the fact that people don't link toghether Nintendo + high price.

@ se7en7thre3: Mario Strikers and Tennis say hello. What do you expect them to do, pay millions to FIFA or the NBA to be able to use the team and player names? Only EA and Konami (in part) and Take2 do that, no one else does.

 

OT: Very good news for Nintendo players. Personally I don't know which version I'll get. If I go for graphics then probably the PC version, but if the gamepad is used properly, the WiiU version might be more fun to play. We'll see how it turns out.

Seems Ubi soft will lose its "ultimate nintendo antichrist" title to EA with this announcement,but I think it is better to delay Rayman for some months and have the possibility to play watchdogs.

Will ne funny to read all the excuses the "we'll never ever buy again ubi games"-guys will write when they buy this game.

Well, a game like FFVII didn't become as big as it did due to impeccable gameplay, fyi.

I don't get all the gamers that say they will boycott a certain studio or publisher...

If you actually stick to that boycott, I respect that...

But I've seen to many dorks on forums (not this forum) say things like they won't buy another EA game except for Dead Space 3...

The same thing will happen when/if Ubisoft announces ZombiU 2...



Have a nice day...
