Yeh I just saw those trailers. Cool =).
I just picked up 007 Legends on WiiU for a game that came out at launch and is not very good its still has a nice lil dedicated online base, I always find a game in team death match.
So for people worried about games like Devils Third online not having enough people dont worry it will def have a nice online base if 007 can have one for 2 years.
I know COD always has it, and I def wouldnt worry about Splatoon online base

I saw it in CEX for a tenner the other day, might pick it up next time I'm in town if it's still there
I'm not even going to buy it for my PS4. Just like the original Assassin's Creed, the sequel will probably work out most of the kinks and offer a much better product.
The game just doesn't look fun compared to other open world offerings like GTA V.

May I have a cookie?
that KS is facing serious issues, currently being accused of being a fraud..
They usually support is as a Pro Controller clone. I don't think Injustice lists it but it supports it regardless.

Nope.
I hate dual analog gaming as well, but didn't mind in those games. Single player (not competitive multiplayer) and stealth oriented made the shitty aiming not a huge factor for me.

It's dual analog only. Honestly, if you attempt to play it like a FPS, you probably won't have any fun. It's way more stealth-WRPG than shooter.
I dont like dual analog much either, but in those games you dont really need pointer controls
3rd person games I dont care about pointer controls and Splinter Cell is a stealth action game
And Deus Ex is not a fast paced ast person shooter its a stealth RPG so you wont need it as much
Really? I was just going to back it, but now I'm rethinking that. Thanks for the heads up.
I really tried going PS4/X1 as my main systems and haven't really done hardcore Nintendo since the Gamecube. Honestly I think my tastes in gaming has reverted recently and I'm really falling back in love with Nintendo.
My WiiU will be here Friday and the amount of nintendo games, indie games, vc games I want is insane... not including the huge Wii backlog I apparently need to play. I've played some (galaxy's, kirby, wario, zelda), but looking over everything I missed so many good games. I honestly feel like Nintendo is re-invigorating my love for gaming which had been waning for awhile, I have been in gaming bliss recently with my 3DS (and wildstar) and can't wait to dive into the WiiU.
On top of all that I look at the upcoming lineups and the few games I want on PS4/X1 I can get on the PC except a select few, on top of that I am over the dedicated online shooters and the like. The upcoming Fall and 2015 lineup from Nintendo has me extremely excited again.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
X-type+ is so bought. I remember it from when it was in its indie infancy. It looks lovely today. BTW, here's a little something by PhobosLabs (the makers of x-type+) to keep us entertained while waiting for the real deal.
And the famous ztype. I've reached as far as wave 23.

Other than both being stealth games, they're very different from one another. But in my opinion you can't go wrong either way. Deus Ex is a lengthier game with more single player content, but Splinter Cell in my opinion absolutely nails the stealth mechanics whereas Deus Ex is a tad sloppier on that front.
Both fantastic games.
You shouldn't be comparing those games. It's like comparing Metroid Prime to Call of Duty.
Deus Ex was superb. I'm currently playing Splinter Cell, it's also very good, purely the stealth gameplay might be better, and it has online multiplayer, but Deus Ex had an engaging story with some great & interesting quirks. The single player in Deus Ex is just... a different level.
it just adds $5 to your eshop balance to use as you see fit

The promotion just gives you a $5 eShop card. Add it to your wallet and you'll have $5.00 to spend in there. If you choose to buy Shovel Knight, you can pay the remaining balance ($9.99) with a credit card.

If Splatoon can be Nintendo's Super Smash Bros for shooting games (at least in the way they brought fighting games to a new audience), I'm excited to see what the final product looks like! In a world full of modern military shooters, this looks like it will be arriving at the perfect time to be a success.
Looking forward to your impressions on the demos you tried. 2015 looks like a great year for the Wii U if they can keep this momentum going.
Looking forward for your impressions. I got the same feeling from others tweeting about the post-E3 event, that Splatoon is promoted a lot. And rightly so, I think. Nintendo has there a great material for the next big hit if they play their cards right.
There were ten wii u demostation at the event.
two for smash, with 4P mode enabled and a lot of GC controllers LOL
the other eight had various games preloaded, but all had also splatoon among the selectable softwares, in order to set up 4vs4 matches.
8 players split into two teams battled for various matches and I had to wait more or less half an hour just to see the other preloaded games
definetely a big push, but also a great reaction from the fans that were playing it

I still believe that Splatoon was kind of a poor choice to start in the tps market.
Something like Plant vs. Zombies GW using Nintendo's beloved characters would have caused much more impact.
Mario shooting with Fludd, Luigi maybe shooting ghosts, Toad shooting mushrooms and things like that could make a really fun and enjoyable game.
Splatoon looked kind of generic to me.. at least the stage(s) that was shown was pretty generic.

What you describe is probably more marketable, but really, how many more games in the Mario universe do we really need? I love those classics, but it's time for some new characters and settings. I'm sure Splatoon will be well-polished by release.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
I really want Mario Party 10 to be amazing.

Well Project Cars has a retail box now for Wii U =).
The album is here. I have no idea whether these are Wii U screenshots or not, but it kind of looks like it based on putting the boxart first. If those are Wii U screenshots, the game really looks great on Wii U!

Compared to some of the pics I've seen on GAF, I wouldn't be surprised if those were Wii U shots.

Good to rear that will have a retail version. At least, until a few days ago, I was waiting for a download only release.
Neat. I am still thinking about playing this on Wii U, as I will have Horizon 2 on Xbox One.

Splatoon is a completely new IP with it's own backstory and potential for development. It is an amazing and bold move. Not to mention the mechanics look easy yet very deep with room for skill-based battles as well as just pure fun (reminding me of TF2 in that aspect).
I just don't see much 'generic' about Splatoon. It looks very fresh to me.

Really? Hm it must look amazing on PC then because it looks pretty damn good on Wii U =).
So, yesterday I've tried the E3 games
Smash is Smash. I loved Little Mac, quick but strong, even if vulnerable in the air, while I didn't like Fit trainer. Villager move set is crazy...
On 3ds, the game works well, with some Jump Superstar vibe
Bayonetta 2 is fluid, vibrant with great lighting. it seems even crazier than the first episode in terms of finisher and giant enemy bosses
Captain toad is amazing. visually impressive, it presented various different gameplay situations even in the demo. looking forward for it
Mario maker seems cool, but I'm not into user generated contents. could be interesting only if online sharing will be confirmed
I preferred Mario vs Dk, despite its smaller scope. touch screen based gameplay was fun
Hard to judge Mario party 10, but at least being a sadistic master as Bowser was fresh, with good gamepad integrations
I found Project guard and Robot funny, but not so intriguing
Hyrule warriors confirmed its DinastyW series root, with frantic but repetitive gameplay, but it was fun to finally unleashed some pure hack&slash action with link. technically, to me it seemed way more polished than Orochi 3 or Ken's rage on Wiiu/PS3
Yoshi is probably the game that benefit more from Wiiu power compared to the last gen, because the Epic yarn visuals were WAY better on this. still slow paced, but very exploration based
Best game visually is Kirby. OMG, I can't descibe the sense of wonder it gave me. Youtube videos don't make it justice. the stop motion effect to the plasticine world is incredible
Splatoon was the star. they organized 8 demostations for 4vs4 team matches. great involvment among players in a good competitive way. good to have the map n the gamepad, great visual effects ofor the ink and the ink consequences, tons of strategy involved, very smooth...it's not my cup of tea, probably, but it seems to have potential
amiibo showed: link,mario,dk,pikachu, samus, villager
to me, they look good, but not so coherent nor toy-ish. I wonder if they'll change them a bit, hoping for a good price positioning

I'd really love for you to explain what the hell looks generic about Splatoon? Good Lord, it's like the complete and total antithesis of generic.
Thanks for the impressions.
How is gyro aiming in Splatoon, did you try it?
Yoshi already looks so good, you say the Kirby trumps that?
Man, Wii U will be full of gorgeous and/or cute games by the end of its life. How were the framerates, any noticeable drops?

Wait, this hasn't been confirmed? I know we don't know much about it, but you'd have thought this would have been confirmed right at the beginning. The game would be pointless to me, otherwise. I plan to spend all my time playing other people's levels, don't think I'll be creating any.
It's basically been confirmed. They haven't shown anything off, but Tezuka has said that the sharing aspect will be an integral part of the game and that they are aware of its importance.
It hasn't been confirmed. I think it's more the dev team thinking about how they would implement it. Still, I'd rather have a solid confirmation unless I missed one.
EDIT: Thanks daydreaming!
no gyro, we played with dual analog
yeah, kirby looks great, better han yoshi. the slowed down animations are wonderful
about mario maker they didn't confirmed the sharing, just hinted at. hopefully they will unveil details about this aspect
Was it confirmed whether or not you can play while watching on TV with a ghost marker of where the stylus is on the Gamepad so you could play on the TV instead of the Gamepad? The game looks so good on my TV (eshop videos) that it would almost be a crime to be limited to the Gamepad.
not in that demo

Both work in any region.
Thank you. Is there a way to decrease the battery usage on the Gamepad? I'm mostly using it as a controller, I don't want to run out of battery that fast until I get the bigger memory.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Zelda Musou gets more and more appealing with each trailer. It's like at first I was zzz and then I've slowly been like wait maybe well hey oh cool ect.. with each passing showing. lol
Turn the speakers and brightness all the way down and disable rumble.

....The biggest complaint lobbed towards Nintendo is that all they do is recycle the same characters and never do anything new. They come up with the first unique IP and your response is "they should've used Nintendo characters"? Really?
And where do I do that?
Press home button and it should be pretty obvious from there. Controller options or something like that.
