    Go to the settings and change user agent to internet explorer or ipad or something.

    It's youtube trying to block the wii u since they can't figure out how to monetise it, same with the freezing script they had on their videos before the update.

    Is there any other games you're interested in or would be interested in? Because it's also on 3DS and 4 is more than likely going to come here as well for it. Plus it's cheaper.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    When you're about to clobber a Barioth and your train arrives at your station (not a euphemism) forcing you to disengage its annoying. Never happens on WiiU

    Also, if you want online multi player you *need* a WiiU either way

    I`m not a HUGE Mario fan but 3D Land on the 3DS was one of the most underrated games of the last few years imo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    Watch Dogs on all consoles delayed until 2014.

    Aonuma promises Zelda Wii U news at next years E3. From interviews he's given, it looks like it could be quite different from other Zelda games, mentioning how he'd like to change a lot of the Zelda 'traditions'.

    Miiverse update today(or maybe yesterday) to now have the ability to search for a user using their nickname as well as their Network ID.

    I borrowed 3D land of my friend awhile back, took me twice to beat it cause i felt it was a souless platformer.

    That being said i know quality when i see it and mario is the a great franchise but i could never connect with the games, was always a sonic guy.

    Galaxy series was great but they did take a awhile to get into them.
    Super mario bros 3 i consider the best mario game

    And i did enjoy the super mario land games on the gameboy

    Thats about it really

    3D world looks outstanding , i just dont care for the franchise :)

    I'm looking forward to the new Mario 3d world game, after the twin triumphs of the Galaxy series and the delightful 3DS game.
    But I really want to get my teeth into Sonic: The Lost World, I haven't looked forward to a Sonic game since Sonic & Knuckles.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    I don't understand the hype about the new Sonic game. Every sonic game I've played has always felt like a spectator-oriented on-rails affair, almost like a series of undocumented/alertless QTEs. Is there something wrong with me? Or is there something wrong with all of you? :)

    Far as I'm concerned, no Chao, no sale!

    Is there no form of Pokémon integration coming for the WiiU? I haven't switched mine on since last friday night and with 7 badges and the E4 left to go it's not likely that that's going to change any time soon... Come on, eShop! Feed me something!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,693 ✭✭✭Deano7788


    I'm hoping it turns out well, I do enjoy Sonic games, well the 2D ones anyway, although I enjoyed Generations. (I will say ithey're nowhere close to Mario in my opinion, but the Galaxy games are my favourite of all time, closely followed by World, 3 and 64). I'm going to wait and see, though, as I've read some mixed things. Some of the stages (including the1 that they've shown most often, are supposed to play really well but other stages aparently feel wrong for lack of a better word. I think I remember a casino stage being mentioned as one of these.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,610 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    I don't really understand the dislike of some for the Galaxy series, they have incredible invention from the start and only get more creative as they progress.
    Yes, the second one felt a little more like a mission pack, but it was still streets ahead of everything else the rest of the concurrent fomats could muster, just like Mario Sunshine was before it on the GC.
    Sonic in 3D has been a litany if disaster, only pulling itself up with Sonic Generations and Sonic Color, despite the best parts of the former being the 2D gameplay scenes.
    I have high high hopes for Lost World, please Sonic Team don't banjax this!

    First thing to fixing the problem is acceptance , accept you had problems.

    I have seen enough of lost world to know its going to be fantastic.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    ...i felt it was a souless platformer.

    ...was always a sonic guy.

    This I really don't get... You felt Mario 3D Land was a soulless platformer, could never connect with Mario, yet are still a Sonic fan...

    2D Sonic is usually great, but there's yet to be a 3D one that was really good!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin

    Agreed, in fact there hasn't been a 'good' Sonic game {imo} since Sonic & Knuckles...& that's going a back a long time now. Sonic 1 & 2 are utter works of art in terms of control, art design, level design, soundtrack, playability, longevity etc...Sonic 3, CD, & Knuckles to a lesser extent for me, but are still up there are the 'Classic Lineup'. Everything since though, has been utter cack, in one way or another.

    Well they say that before every game they make. It's like tradition now.

    Sonic: Lost World Wii U reviews:

    http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-10-18-sonic-lost-world-review

    and

    http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/10/18/sonic-lost-world-review

    Looks like I will be giving this a miss. Not seen any 3DS reviews, but its probably not much better.
