Wii U tastic: Virtual Console, Mario at E3, Wind Waker HD

Having watched a few of the vids now. Monolith RPG looks great, very MMO like at least – even if it’s just in small parties. Controller really helps with hotbar type interfaces.

The Zelda vid – they talk about re-examining and challenging a couple of expected Zelda conventions – namely Dungeons in a set order and playing by yourself. That sounds good too – but probably quite a long way off.

Gotta agree with lex, the “haters” tag is uncalled for OG and shows ignorance.

On topic the Virtual Console for MiiVerse is great for retro gamers posting pics and discussing good times from great generations

I agree on both accounts Doc.

No it shows ignorance Day. Did I call anyone one out personaly? There are a lot of people that give a lot of hate towards the company. All I was saying was people with those types of opinions be damned, I enjoy the system. The samething btw, alot of other folks are expressing by also saying that they have things they are looking forward to on the system.

Btw, I like that Monolith game, very intriguing to say the least. Something about the design annoys me though, I think it’s the background, just seems very out of place & static- kinda wallpaper like, like a fake background on a TV set that’s very obvious. Same thing annoyed me about halo 4. Difference is that it looks like you can reach many of those places so probably an issue with draw distance. Idk, maybe I’m just being fussy- spoilt by PC gaming

Ok I stand corrected then, my bad

NP Day, I didn’t mean to be rude either.

Np OG

OG your comment left it open to anyone that wasn’t in agreement with you and Monkey that they were haters. Maybe you shouldn’t co-sign for other people if you have a separate meaning towards what you are trying to convey.

Lex you jumped to conclusions, and put words in my mouth. Sorry but it is what it is. I was not saying one single word to you man. I was talking to Doc at one point and then agreed with MG.

At some point this Sony Fans Vs Nintendo Fan stuff should stop. It is getting to the point where every time I make a post the same suspects pipe in trying to blast, what mostly amounts to, my opinion. It derails a lot of threads. A bit lame tbh.

Time to move on.

That, btw isn’t aimed at you Lex, just sort of a general expression of my current mood/feelings on the subject.

There was no conclusion to jump to if you just said you agreed with monkey. In a community topic where everyone is giving input on something don’t you think that what you say is not only help towards people you are solely speaking to as well as others on the board.

I didn’t put any words in your mouth. Perhaps if you would have said something different like “This line-up gives very little for anyone to hate. I love my little machine.” Then it would have been fairly on point and not leaving interpretation that you are mocking others who are not in agreement.

@61, Arguments go both ways, one party stops & the other should too. Unfortunately some people are stupid & they start yelling at walls hoping to get noticed like an angry Alzheimer patient.

@OG,
No one is saying you can’t enjoy wiiu, so what’s the hate? Surely, people are entitled to state their rational views, +ve or -ve, aren’t they?

How am I responsible for the way you interpeted something?

I made a post, “Me too MG. Haters can hate, I really enjoy the stupid thing lol.”

Your next post, “So wait. We’re haters because we’re not fully ass blown by games with un-confirmed release dates?

Monolith beats FFvs to the punch with an no named game? Right, So much hater raid going on in these corners.”

I never even mentioned any posters by name, and you pipe in feeling singled out?

Did I say I was personally offended by it? No, I did however point out to you that people you would call “haters” Don’t have to be shocked and awed like others. And, Yes you are personally responsible for how others interpret what you say. Especially if you want to live in such an Ideal world as you claim you do above.

It also goes to show it wasn’t just me or dragon that saw that. Day commented on it as well. And, THEN it took you to explain in depth what you really meant. So, case in point is this. You want net neutrality work on how you deliver. Like how you delivered that Ps3 exclusives remark in the other thread.

Perhaps you meant something different on there as well?

Monolith is back with a huzzay!

Let it go Lex. Move on.

Whatever oldman. Wasn’t holding on to anything just letting you know how you could avoid confusion.

Man…

Lex and Dragon getting crazy paranoid AGAIN…

My comment at FF Versus wasn’t even directed at Sony or PS3/4.

I actually think Versus will go multiplatform at some stage so it was more directed at the FF game itself.

Reason I mentioned it was because I was looking at FF Versus Gameplay yesterday:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkZvdT3QS4k

Even though this is an early build it still has a lot of similar aspects to the Monolith game.

Combat,
Guns,
Mechs,
Huge Monsters,

Etc… Etc…

The only thing is, the Monolith game hasn’t taken an ice age to make and I think we’ll see the benefit of the Wii U pad with an RPG.

So,yeah, keep jumping too conclusions guys.

Overall this was a great day for Wii U.

didn’t bother to read any comments yet. i bet there’s a lot of hate going on already. just watched the full nintendo direct and loved everything about it. nintendo knows what they’re doing. virtual console, windwaker hd, while waiting for an improved wiiu zelda, 30 pence nes/snes games promo, bayonetta 2, wonderfull 101, next monolith, Fire Emblem x Shin-Megami Tensei crossover game!!!…freakin yoshis yarn, mario kart, mario 3d game, updates, focus on the already great miiverse…and so on. combine that with the 3ds stuff that’s just around the corner. nintendo are playing it just right atm.
if you hate this…what the hell is wrong with you?

@71

It’s not hate Poly, it’s just the weird people who can’t imagine Sony at the center of the gaming world.

Most people being trolls or whatever place Sony in the middle and other formats on the outside.

Anyone with sense just places everything together and can praise / criticise freely.

Also, this was a fucking awesome N Direct.

By the way, my girlfriend is playing Ni No Kuni on PS3 at the moment, if you like Ghibli or JRPG in general, it’s awesome!

i had a huge smile on my face- the whole N direct. it was a great show for anyone who loves games and grew up with them…

i did read the comments now.
i don’t get this anymore. seriously. weird. repeating. bullshit. i wont comment on it anymore now though, it’s not worth it. their loss.

regarding ni no kuni…yo. looking hot.

@steph: 52″tv huh?…well it’s windwaker hd wiiu. you’ll end up playing it in bed on a 6″ anyway – and this is even better imho

And thats where you failed Monkey becausw I never once mentioned Sony. In fact, everything I said would make me a FFvs fanboy instead of a Sony one. So you keep on making everything about Sony

Anyone know how this 30p for 30 days download thing works?

I got Balloon Pop today but do we get a new 30p game tomorrow? One in 30 days? Never?

Also I’m liking that the game has programmable controls – I hope all Wii U VC games follow suit…

Good question mistermogul, I am wondering the samething. I was thinking it was a game a day. But now I am not too sure. It is 30 games between now and July I think, so no idea how they will space em out…maybe one a week?

@75

Sorry, I didn’t bother trawling through all your posts. You win.

Your prize:

To only play on Sony consoles for all eternity.

@75

Read it now, lol.

You thought OG’s ‘haters gonna hate’ comment was aimed at you?

You’re so vain

You probably think this song is about you

lol

Monkey you are a complete idiot

@77 – Cheers OG. I suppose time will tell!

For those wondering what the $0.30/£0.30 downloads are:

January – Balloon Fight (NES)
February – F-Zero (SNES)
March – Punch Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (NES)
April – Kirby’s Adventure (NES)
May – Super Metroid (SNES)
June – Yoshi / Mario & Yoshi (NES)
July – Donkey Kong (NES)

(Replace F-Zero and Punch Out! with Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo and Mother 2 if in Japan)

Derailed to fuck and back by retards.

I like Mechs. The Wind Waker has an ass-load of bloom. Wonderful 101 looks Wonderful, its like Platinum have created a brand new Viewtful Joe title in all but name.

lame, now i have to buy wiihd for wind waker.
I’ll take Eternal Darkness HD too but only if nintendo are doing it.

thx mistermogul…will get them all anyway though, great little collection actually.

I must admit, the HD comparison convinced me. Next: F-Zero HD please

@86

Yep, yep, yeppers! Sploodge!

@Lex
You are talking to the only person around here who himself says he is a “dick” and that too while commenting on a Sony article.
http://www.vg247.com/2013/01/23/ps4-will-come-with-a-new-controller-and-nice-specs-rumor/comment-page-1/#comments
See#36.

Nintendogs everywhere. Maybe Iwata demanded more work or he will stop the Ninty Welfare Fund.

@88: backstab troll back at work, posting links and quotes again like the internet spamrobocop. well done.
wish you’d be as selfreflected to see that you can be a dick too sometimes (well most of the time actually), but you can’t, you’re always right, i know. “power fantasy sony troll making his beloved company look like playstation is the home of insanity”. vg247 daily comment headline. over and over again. in a few years you’ll look at all this and you’ll be ashamed of yourself kid.

@83: Yeah, and that can’t be a bad thing.

Honest to God, can Platinum do ANY wrong?

@89,
Didnt know dogs had terrible back pain. But the biggest surprise was that they could talk.
Oh, and before anyone else thinks he is being targeted, fear not, this is only for poly.

@91

You may need to reconsider the Nintendogs thing:

@monkey and polygem: If you think Dragon is a troll, and presumably you do, then why do you spam up the threads with flamewars with him? Just let it go… Don’t feed the trolls.

you’re right, i am getting there. i ignore most of the time already…
but he always gets me with this quoting out of context nonsense. it’s so nasty and cheap. i mean, imagine it- the guy must really bookmark certain threads just to quote stuff later. how desperate is that? i made a step or two back several times, trying to find another level. not wanted. ok, then this is what we’ll get. ok but i’ll stop it right here. just bring it on dragon. bring it on. quote me, show me who i am.

@92: now THAT is some quality quoting right there!

Its enough. From platform fanboy to nails ,its been months listening to the same old pathetic bickering.
@94
Get their fast. Also since you are such a hypocrite, heres what you said to Michael when he suggested you ignore me, like I did-

@43 If you have that much trouble ignoring someone (especially online) you should probably look at yourself a bit, not him.

@43: lol
@46: i am coming here to read videogame related news and to have discussions about them. why should i ignore people i disagree with? why should i comment at all if i just ignore everyone…? not sure if i understand what you are trying to say really.
just ignoring someone who annoys you isn´t an appropriate option to begin with imho, if you think so you should also look at yourself i think.

@Dragon: i cannot ignore your posts. i just can´t. most of the time they smell so fishy, things need to be clarified.

Although I am done, no more. 2 more added to ignore list.

ok i did read that but unfortunatly i cannot reply. *i’m ignoring*

…oh wait, i’m a hypocrite nintendog fanboy who threatend the kid to death with a hellraiser reference…you should probably better ignore ME, you’re just more mature than me.

(don’t forget to bookmark this, you might need it one day;)

but remember i am perfectly ignoring you here. 100%.
