Wii U news thread

Seconding future love for a 3D DK game. If that is what Retro are working on, though, they'd be in danger of becoming 'The DK Studio'. A part of me wants the thing they're working on to be completely out of left-field.

As long as it's better than DK64, which I still unfondly remember.

CENSORED

It's not just them, Activision aren't bringing COD this year to the U.

While I would buy them for Wii u over anything else out of loyalty, I think most of the current crop of wii u owners probably own or are planning to own one of the BBBsOP so I don't see a lot of multiformat stuff selling.

Well COD last year sold 20k, it could sell more then that on a toaster.

But you say that Drunka Just Dance sales & Skylanders which always seems weird as most Wii U owners seem to be core Nintendo fans not casual's.

That little? Considering what a solid performer it was on Wii, that's a huge surprise.

(Quiet, the lot of you.)

It actually stands at 170k at this moment ghosts, I think 20k was what it sold when it came out as PS4 version sold more & the ps4 wasn't even out.

If you look at the sells number 9 out of the top 10 sellers are published by Nintendo with 10th being zombiu which was a anticipated title at 700k.

The reason the U isn't getting Minecraft "We won't release on the platform if the base is very small" which is the dumbest thing ever as it's coming to VITA and Xbox One but you do expected that to pass the U.

To be honest, I wouldn't count the lack of Minecraft on U as much of a loss. It's one of those games (in my opinion at least) that is meh. I could think of better things to play with what limited time I have.
As an aside, I've read that Geometry Wars 3 is in development. Christ, I'd love a Wii U version of it. I spent God knows how many hours on Galaxies for Wii.

Geometry wars 3 on wii U would be brilliant! You ever tried X-type plus? That's a fun & cheap twin stick shmup that will fill the void a bit if it doesn't come to wii U.

The WiiU is saved The Voice is coming to the U.

I haven't, although just had a look at it there just now. It looks bloody mental! I'll really need to download that one.

Glad that you like the look of it & that I'll have someone on my friends list to compete with as the global leader boards are insanely hard to get into.

ZeroJones will be ecstatic to know that folders are coming to the Wii U!  I'm pretty pleased myself.  Get rid of all the tedious "safety" stuff: put it in a folder marked "B" for "Boring".[/wit]

Good news indeed, it will be nice to hide all the stuff I never use.

On reading the news independently, I closed my eyes, did a little fistpump and said "Yes" under my breath. That ecstatic enough for ya? On a serious note, good stuff and long overdue. My games were going onto a third page, for Pete's sake!

That'll do, yes!

I'm wrong The Voice is a Wii game not Wii U, and comes out the 14th of this month if you really want it also it's on PS360.

I was really excited about the folders until I saw their rubbish implementation: why show a grid of nine blank icons on each folder? It just obscures the text. But yes, put all the rubbish in a folder named "pointless apps". That includes uPlay!

I don't really know where to put this as it should maybe go into retro but any way retrocollect which is in my sig have just done as massive updated and have added the Nintendo Wii to it's data base with all 1222 games currently out for the system.

What do you guy's think about this I personally don't see the Wii as retro it's last gen like the PS360 to me but has kinda died after the release of the Wii U from Nintendo there selves & most 3rd party's.

Yet there to added Nintendo DS into to database which I thought should of been done by now and maybe even PSP.

My definition of 'retro' is a game that you cannot play using the original media on a current gen system. So the Wii is disqualified. Having said that, if it means more Wii love, that's cool, baby.

Wouldn't that make the PS360 retro then as they don't work on there current gen counterparts.

Really? [blinkeredNintendofanboyism] My definition does waver in the face of the PS360 at the minute, mostly because games are still being produced for them on a reasonable scale.
