Certainly blows away anything that's come out in the USA on the Wii this year.

There's something coming out in the US on the Wii this year?

Seems halfway decent.

Just posting these for people who haven't seen them, I think travo asked once

Except for this one, looks hideous

They are from a PC game mod

Divnich: "The Wii offered a completely different style of interactive entertainment versus the traditional consoles, which leads me to consider that the Wii was never a part of the "7th Generation" of consoles. I'd argue that very few consumers ever had to decide between an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Nintendo Wii; rather, it was an HD experience (Xbox 360 or PS3) vs. the Wii. Just looking at the top selling Wii games makes it clear that the Wii truly offered a differential experience, since 90% of those titles can only be experienced on the Wii.


"Now this is not to say that the Wii wasn't a 'core' platform, since any true core gamer owns a Wii in addition to at least one HD console [By which Divnich means to say that most core gamers can admit to enjoying a casual gaming experience, and it's likely one of the reasons why a lot of traditional gamers own a Wii (see the comments section) -- Ed.], but we have to admit the expectation of experience on the Wii is vastly different than what one would expect on the HD consoles.


"I would caution Nintendo to stray from labeling the Wii U as a platform that delivers a core experience as its primary function. It just doesn't need to compete with the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 when they've already carved out a rather large niche market for themselves.


"The problem with the Wii U is that the platform will offer the capability of delivering a traditional HD experience, and it may give publishers an 'easy out' from having to create a truly differential experience."




"My biggest fear is that third-party publishers will simply 'port' their PS3 and Xbox 360 library over to the Wii U, while adding minimal unique features to the Wii U version. Simply put, I don't think the core community will fall for it and no one can honestly say they would purchase Assassin's Creed III for the Wii U, when they've already built a strong loyalty to the series on another platform. If someone told me they own every console and have purchased every Assassin's Creed iteration, I can bet with a high degree of certainty they likely own all iterations for the same console.


"Third-party publishers underperformed on the Wii and it took them years to finally figure out that even though the vast majority of the core community owned a Wii, we didn't want a traditional core experience. The divergence in the technology created this disparity in desired experiences. The same is true for the iPhone.

This guy is better than Pachter, not as annoying and doesn't try to be some all knowing sage. He's usually more tempered with opinions too. I agree with him about the above, most HD gamers wont buy a wii U for 3rd party games with a few token improvements. It will be whether Nintendo deliver on the HD games front and the smattering of 3rd party games which do something different on it.

.

But yes, they do need to compete. If Nintendo's smart, they'll make Wii 2 the system that Wii should have been, and truly cater to everybody, both hardcore and casual. Because Sony and Microsoft have already begun doing just that. Which means if Nintendo, especially in America, continue to only go for the casual crowd, they will just lose marketshare.

It is confirmed, Pandora's Tower is set to be released in Europe!

And about NOA, well Reggie is busy kicking ass and taking away your games.

Edge, Robio, Vader and Archie. If you want to play the game you will have to import the game and mod your Wii. Welcome to Europe!

Great.... I finally get to experience European life and I still can't try the food. Or the beer.  Or the women.  Worst fucking vacation ever! Thanks NoA!!!

I do hope that some sites out there will anticipate that a lot of American gamers will want to import these games and start putting something together - like a special shipping package or something. Probably hoping for too much with that.

Really I think the only one I'm really looking forward to is Last Story. Xenoblade doesn't look bad and I have gotten more interested in the past few weeks, but that's still more of a maybe. But the main city in Last Story has blown my mind since I saw the first maps for it. Got to see that for myself. Not sure if I'll like the actual gameplay, but I need to see the city.

Pretty Dumb, yeah. As far as I can tell, all that pack is, is an advertisement to purchase Arcade Edition... All it lets you do, apparently, is View Replays of the New Characters using Super Street Fighter IV.

I'd like to pick up SSFIV, but will wait until Capcom releases their final version. Is the Arcade Edition their final version?
