Robio is 100% right, Nintendo has almost abandoned the Wii U pad. Even Miyamoto in an interview was like "well most games are just going to use it as a map or inventory screen". Pikmin 3 is designed for wiimote. Mario 3D Land plays with normal controls. DK with wiimote. Smash with any pad. Mario Kart with wiimote.



Lets go back to the Wii launch, Zelda: TP remade to use the wiimote. Metriod Prime 3 designed around the wiimote. Mario Kart designed around the wiimote. Nearly every third party game was designed around the wiimote.

And Nintendo has been getting far worse with its sequels. Before NSMB they never cranked out simple sequels almost every other year, like a background swap like so many other companies do. Every sequel Nintendo made was different, unique. But in comes NSMB, they make millions and now its just a half assed sequel series, it is so un-nintendo like. DK is about the same as well which is why it is so dissapointing. It took like 3 years, and its by Retro and its a wii game, games dont get much more disappointing than that (that has nothing to do with the quality of the game when its released).  And who cares that Mario 3D world allows four players, can you play online? NO. So who the hell is going to play with four players if you dont have kids?

I know they will all be great games but I am pretty damn sure most of us didnt buy a Wii U expecting we would get that mario and Retro making that game. Neither has any good use for the pad.

Awesome Pikmin 3 reviews. The only thing that worries me is that the campaign is like 10-15 hours and most say its really easy. Challenge mode sounds fantastic at least.

Nintendo Stock Skyrockets To Highest Value in Two Years

Here's a question. Nintendo has seen a lot of good news in the past week, and is likely to continue to see over the next month or two as big profile games come out that will both generate their own sales and stimulate 3DS and Wii U sales. Additionally the Japanese Yen is having some pretty good days and seems to be strengthening. And while it's not exactly a solid statement, if China does indeed allow consoles into the country as the article mentions, it's safe to say that non-offensive Nintendo games would be the most palatable to the Chinese government. So with all these positive signs for the company. . . will Patcher still deem Nintendo as a bad investment?

You are over reacting. NSMB series in one per platform. Also I like how you know that DKTF is a safe sequel. Play the game first.

And online in Mario. Do you guys complain about no online in Rayman? It is just not technically feasible yet, without massive lag.

And Mario Kart designed around the wiimote. Go home, you drunk

Yeah Iga they only packaged it with a wiimote attachment so it could look pretty.

The wheel is the reason Mario Kart Wii sold more than any kart ever.

Perhaps, but it was not designed around the wiimote. Seeing as normal controls work fine!

And as an added bonus while you wait for PSN to download the game you'll have a few hours to read a book.

I'm actually going to get Duck Tales for free on the eShop. I've bought enough games through the eShop that I'll have $15 in bonus credits through their Digital Deluxe program.

TAKE THAT FAT CATS!!!
