Ubisoft Says They Are Big Supporters Of Wii U

Wii_U_logo_hq

Ubisoft senior vice president of sales and marketing Tony Key has explained that the company are still big supporters of the system, despite not announcing new core titles for the platform at E3. Key says that they really think that the second screen can bring a new dimension to video games. Key concluded by saying that Wii U is not necessarily next-generation, but it’s next-generation thinking. Here’s what he had to say.

“As a company, we like the Wii U. We really believe that the second screen can add a new dimension to gaming. We’re still big supporters of that system. We have just as many games coming out on Wii U this year as we did at launch. So we like the second screen. We think there are opportunities with all these games to extend them – to another person, to another location. We’re taking it very seriously.”

“It’s not necessarily next-generation, but it’s next-generation thinking. We want to extend the experience to whatever screen is handy. We have been looking for ways to take advantage of these second screens. Those companion apps are our first attempt at doing that.”

Thanks, Mike S

          1. thanks for proving my point about how they act. that was months ago i stated my opinion and you will go to pathetic lengths to get your way, or be a whiney bitch about something as simple as someone over the internet that had a different view than you. grow up, that topic is over and thanks for proving my point. its really pathetic.

          1. why you mad is sickr, do you guys have any life at all. like this shit is on the internet, you shouldnt get mad over why you mad, which i believe is sickr

            1. i believe what you said just made no sense but this is the internet after all and uneducated freaks like you come here to vent your bullshit

    1. I hate the people that comment on this site SO FUCKING MUCH!
      GO KILL YOURSELVES! EITHER POST SOMETHING RELEVANT OR DON’T FUCKING POST
      and you admins, why not stop this bullshit? we wanna see real comments not fucking spam, FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
      I’m officially pissed off and leaving this site cause it’s all bullshit, the commenters and their spam, the admins sitting back and ignoring it, I don’t want to have to scroll to the bottom to find a half relevant post, if you admins are too lazy to monitor these comments, THEN AT LEAST ADD A REPORT BUTTON SO WE CAN GET RID OF ANNOYING SPAM FROM SELF IMPORTANT, OVER DEVELOPED CUMSHOTS THAT THINK THEIR BEING FUNNY WHEN EVERYONE JUST HATES THEM!
      FUCK, I’m out of here LOOSERS! D:<

      1. I’m with you on that. I recommend playeressence. It’s miles better than this site because Furious Francis (the owner of the site) blocks all trolls.

              1. hahahah wonder why, this website is awesome!!! retarded ninendorks, oh look its furious fanboy. have no respect for that kind of bias. he runs a crappy website then. at least the people who run this website dont bias things and just report.

                1. Yet you hardly leave them alone… yeah I can see that you have very little in the way of intelligence to be honest

                2. No bias eh? then why do they post every time someone bashes nintendo? STOP WITH THE FUCKING MICHAEL PACHTER BULLSHIT, ALBA YOU FUCKING BITCH AND POST REAL FUCKING NEWS!
                  no fucking bias, BULL FUCKING SHIT!

          1. I honestly don’t really care at this point. Yea sure it can be bias sometimes but at least Furious Francis actually blocks the trolls unlike this site.

  1. Glad to see them sticking through. They may have hinted that the console wasn’t next gen, but they acknowledged that the duel screen was a good thing (Though I prefer one screen) Here’s to the Wii U success coming!! (New Super Smash + Possible Prince of Persia = win!)

  2. Exactly what I was trying to say! The WiiU is next-gen in how you play the game, but not necessarily next-gen hardware. This IMO is the best weapon the Wii U has compared to other consoles.

  3. “It’s not necessarily next-generation, but it’s next-generation thinking,”

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but when did pure horsepower dictate ‘next-generation’ gaming? Pretty sure the 8th gen experience will be determined more by social interaction and GPGPU offloading rather than just pure power. Wii U has both, therefore the quote is moot. PC-based architecture is hardly next-gen in that regard (especially if PC = Master Race).

    1. Yeah I was going to comment about that, lol. Good thing I don’t now. I’m glad they are supporting the Wii U, but for them to say that………….

    2. I agree with them. Whether the horsepower is “next gen” or not is up to you, I’m not arguing with them.
      But the 8th generation of gaming is gonna be all about social interaction and enhancing the way you play. We saw this with Miiverse, the Xbox One and all the extra features, and the sharing on PlayStation 4. This whole “Wii U is/isn’t next gen” argument to me is a waste of time and distracting everybody from what’s really important.

    3. gameboy> game gear, gameboy color> sega nomad, game boy advance> wonder swan, nintendo ds> psp, 3DS> Vita: at least when it comes to portable dedicated systems, Nintendo has always had less power and stomp the competition, when it comes to consoles, sony is more competitive than nintendo, because sony does appeal to a greater amount of people. i love Nintendo to the end and think wii u is amazing just because of gamepad, but dissapointed i wont get to play ff15 or gta5. i missed a great deal of amazing 3rd party titles last gen, looks like i am going to again. im not going to abandon nintendo not by any means, but a ps4 is looking very tempting, especially with a Vita for the portability of it all.

      1. but then again, those two games are the only next gen 3rd party games i want to play… and the final fantasy 13 trilogy and 1ST party ps3 title the last of us, thats about it.

  4. Its funny how many times Ubisoft needs to say this. Do people still not get that Ubisoft SUPPORTS Wii U!! DERP DERP!! 💋

    1. this could just be damage control because after the e3 comments that they will not be supporting wii u any more until more units of the console sell, and the install base gets bigger, which does make sense, its Nintendo’os job to push out compelling software and to advertise and get the system to sell and to make that initial install base enticing, then the third parties will come and add to the install base after nintendo has laid down the foundation.

      But so far nintendo has failed to either advertise, or make compelling software to push units out the door, so as i said i don’t blame them, but i suspect the sudden change in comments is so that the news that came out of e3 wont negatively affect the sales of assassins creed black flag and watch dogs, and rayman, this is why maybe they are back tracking on what they said, its simple P.R people, but in any case time will tell, i have to commend them for being one of the few western third party companies who supported wii u off the bat!

  5. Well I think it’s great that they are going to continue developing for the system unlike other devs. Ubisoft even made an exclusive(ZombieU) and are working on a sequel for it.

  6. black flag will be coming to wiiU, watch dogs is coming to WiiU, lots of AAA GAMES from other devs, not so much!

          1. I am not gonna bother commenting on this site anymore, not if these fucks are. I got flamed for saying an opinion, and i got insulted for being an American.

                1. Look like we are the only intelligence group here. So want to join the club? Nintenofan55, jellybean946, or Quarz?

    1. I’m not entirely sure all these “freaks” are different people. I feel like most of them are just other identities. Like that Iceazeama guy. Do you really think he is JUST Icea? No he’s probably this other freak who claims he is going to rape you! 💋

      1. But i don’t want to be raped ;_; i don’t even know who to trust anymore. Can i even trust you Jynx? O_o oh god

      2. hey…… just because i dont use alts (minus that one day i was barry bee benson hahahahhahaha) i dont make alts to be an asshole. i do both with my real name, the one im using right now. and i dont know anybody elses email….. i couldnt be anybody else!!!!!

  8. If only Nintendo in the next gen releases a console with no new controllers , just one as a new pro controller and Keep it compatible with the gamepad and wiimote , this way they can focus on power and design , so there will be no more excuses for 3rd party developers not to make games for it

    1. Last time they did a console that brought almost nothing new, we got the GameCube. Guess what? There was almost no support for that thing, with everyone flocking to PS2 instead.
      I doubt that they’re gonna try that again.

      1. If we compare the wii with GameCube we find that the GameCube games were far better than the wii one’s with some exceptions .

        1. That was subjective and it also proved twice in a row that the one with the best hardware does not sell as much as either the more original one or the cheaper one…

          Third party support in a way has never defined the success of Nintendo as a whole, just take a look at the Wii…

          Sure it had support but even though most “gamers” hated them or didn’t regard them in a good way, it was Nintendo games that ultimately sold the console…

          Which has happened ever since the NES…

  9. they’re repeating themselves so people will buy only their games aside from nintendo games. making themselves seem like the only big 3rd party dev for the wiiu.

  10. *Facepalm*
    Ubi, stop for a sec.
    Think about what you just said: “It’s not necessarily next generation”.
    Do you really even KNOW what defines a generation? Because at this point, I don’t think you do.
    It’s defined by sequence, Ubi.
    It’s in the same generation of consoles as the PS4 and One.

    1. I’m pretty sure they know what generation means…… Just in the game industry, they prefer to use power and not sequence.

      1. Their preference doesn’t even qualify as a reason though; they are factually wrong in trying to claim it’s not a next-generation system when they try to apply an entirely different and non-factual meaning to the term.
        If that’s how the game industry thinks, then the game industry needs to be re-educated on basic English, if nothing else.

        1. They just said it’s not necessarily next generation…. but next gen thinking. Which is true in a way I suppose. It doesn’t have typical next gen specs (not necessarily) but it is next gen other than that (next gen thinking) …

          The Wiiu is not a typical next gen console , it’s a unique and different next gen console one that chooses to not fit in and favor controller innovation over raw specs. Does this REALLY MATTER that much ? Only in the sense of next gen multiplats , other than that it’s like comparing the 3DS to the Vita or the DS to the PSP.

          Nintendo just simply doesn’t care what their rivals are doing and want to create unique platforms that don’t just blend in with everybody else…

        2. You’re chucking a hissy fit over what a company prefers generation to mean? How bout go play some games instead?

    2. The Irony is that the PS2 was more weaker than Gamecube, and even more weaker than the original Xbox, but still was considered “Next-Gen” back in their times (6th gen). But, what we are gonna do? the videogame industry is retarded as fuck these days.

      1. Wait. there was a time were Nintendo had the most powerful console of its time? O_O
        What happened to those days?

        1. Yes, but you probably know the story behind Mini Disc. Nobody really knows that the Gamecube was a very powerful machine (In terms of specs and graphics), but yeah, Gamecube was like the “PS3” of the 5th gen, and the PS2 was the weakest of the 3 consoles.

          1. The N64 was also more powerful than the PS1 and the SNES was considered more powerful than the Genesis. Nintendo used to be more advanced than the competition, amd they still are…Sorta.

            1. Actually I think the Genesis was a little more powerful than the SNES.(Not to argue) But yeah I agree with you. Despite what the Wii was, the Wii U should be able to match up against the xboxone and PS4 fairly well. I’m hoping that is!

        2. Mmmm yeh.. The N64 was way more graphically capable than PS1 and Saturn and the Gamecube was more graphically capable than Dreamcast and PS2 , trumped by the late released Xbox.

            1. They did , because Ninendo were much better devs at the time than Anyone woking for Xbox. So they knew how to Squeeze the power better.

              Halo 30FPS , Metroid Prime 60FPS nuff said.

  11. No games
    Innovation as in gimmicks
    No 3rd party support
    Two games, zelda and mario
    Every game we have is rehashed
    Not going to bring any good games to the west, our fans want wii mini golf instead
    Dont care about fans, we print money
    One thing, please understand

          1. your neutron?? hahahahah. nintendo, really is pathetic right now. if x sucks, ill be pissed. thats the only thing remotely interesting about the disaster known as the wii u, sure dkc will be good, nothing crazy but other than that seriously, is two good games enough and also dealing with nintendos bullshit like localizations. sony has done better localizing nintendo games than them (ni nu kuni and tales of graces) both that were originally on nintendo!!!!!!! worst is all these retarded sheep will eat iwata and reggies shit while they take their fur and print it for money.

  13. Just make sure Watch Dogs isn’t a lazy port and you’ll be ok with me. Also bring over any sequels if the game lives up to the hype, just take your time with them though.

      1. @jellybean946 “Actually, the 360 was released first, followed by the wii, then the PS3.” yeah. your right, i was thinking about the wrong console but its still all the same

      1. In my country it is exactly a day before the Wii release. Everyone was expecting the Wii to release first before the PS3 release.

  16. guys did you get that side effect from buying a wii u……. the one where you all of a sudden want to kill yourself?? why did i have to buy a 350$ swiffer!!!!! my house is clean but whats the point….. is there a point in life. who knows now that i bought a wii u.

      1. Or maybe not , who knows ? Maybe the world is big or maybe we are small question like this will never have an answer

  17. get a grip sony and ms casual fans

    XENO WIIU KICKED GRAPHICS ASS VS FINAL FANTASY PS4 TOTALLY OWNED IT OWNED IT HARD

    Mario kart 8 best of show fucking sweet as suger graphics at 60 frames both screens FUCKS BITH SCREENS FUCKS thats hd x2 and 60 frames x 2

    Ps4 got its ass handed to it by wiiu at e3 DENIAL SONY FANS A TERRIBLE SIN

      1. So you come onto a site that was created for Nintendo fans by Nintendo fans and bitch every day about the Wii U and Nintendo?… Do you have a life outside of just trolling?

        1. Yeah I do. It’s quite a nice life. Thanks for asking. Also, this site is nothing but Nintendrones with very few fans, don’t know where you pull that shit from.

          1. I see more people bitching about Nintendo than Nintendrones. Take for instance those two fan boys that post CONSTANTLY about the ps4. Then you have other’s who constantly bitch about Nintendo and the games..

  18. I am buying Rayman Legends new to support them. Seriously fellow Wii U owners, you should definitely keep Ubisoft’s games high on your shopping lists. If don’t see yourself getting a Wii U this year but next year, the least you can do is buy the Wii U version game and get the console later like I will.

  19. I hope they make a sequel to Zombie U, although the name Zombie U is terrible, just as bad as Wii U. A proper sequel would be welcome, better graphics, better balance, better story, better combat, better puzzles, better controls, better environment.

  20. Seriously, every other day it seems ubisoft or EA is talking about how wii sucks and then its great, they wont make games then they will….shut the fuck up with this shit already and stop posting it if there is no news.

  21. At first i had my doubts and thought that Wii U will be in bad shape for the up to next year. But after seeing PS4 graphics, its not too far behind. I know that after a few years, PS4 an XBox1 will have better looking games…but so is the Wii U. Gameplay wise, Wii U wins hands down. I am now convinced that I made the right choice with my next gen console. Nintendo now is listening to its fans. They even reversed policy on LP’ers on youtube. When the time comes that the U gets 3rd party support, even Sony and MSoft supporters would not fail to notice.

      1. Then it looks like another Wii. But hopefully with better 1st party titles. I really hope they have found the errors they shown with the Wii.

    1. In my opinion, “next-gen” is basically the next platform up. It shouldn’t mean anything else but that. Take for instance the iPods.

      1. That doesn’t make sense lol. ”They know what it means , they just believe it means different things!!” wait what lol ?

        Next generation is very simple. A father has 3 children that is generation B those 3 children have 3 children each they are generation C.
        Now because one child in Generation C is ”More powerfull” than the other kids that doesn’t mean he can just skip to generation D…

        That’s all Generation means , it litteraly has NOTHING to do with the power of anything. Not in Gaming not anywhere.

        It’s a straight fact that the last gen of Home consoles was Wii , PS3 and 360. It does not matter which console was more powerfull than the other , AT ALL.

  22. get a grip sony and ms casual fans

    Ps4 got. Visually raped at e3 ubisoft drop the sympathy marketing for ps4 on paper gflops are IRRELIVENT conpared to the fine ass design of wiiu

    Xeno raped ff ps4 a new hole to fuck turned that shit out with a huge cock fucking rsped it sodomized it 12 inch long

    Wiiu is hitting two screens at 60 frames unbisoft stop warding things to APEASE IDIOT SONY FANS THERE WORTHLESS THERE SCUM AND THE SILLY CONTROLLER IS A NONSENSE

    Lol ps4 gpu 512k catch

    Wiiu gpu 35mb catch 70x more ps4 is cheap of the shelf pc parts with shitting cpu bound ram that the gpu cannot hit directly DOG SHIT CONSOLE

    1. You understand the fact that you’re repeating the same garble every time you post right? You’re pretty damn annoying.

  23. doesnt anyone know what freakin NEXT-GEN means. A console being part of the next gen has NOTHING to do with power. The Wii U could be less powerful then the N64 and it would still be part of the same gen as PS4 and Xbox One. It all depends on the release sequence. The Wii U was released after the 7th gen consoles so it is clearly an 8th gen console.

  24. The WiiU is in the 8th Gen, of course it is. However…

    With most of the games focused on local coop game-play, the WiiU suggests a pre-7th gen approach to gaming. Nintendo’s games are designed with ONLY family in mind and not the core they revealed to want to target. Ie; NintendoLand, Pikmin, 3D world, DK, Game & Wario All family/local multi-player games, an entire market, ignored.

    Games are what Nintendo is all about, creating the best gameplay and with top quality, only this time it’s about HD graphics for them, which was the focus of last gen for the other console makers.

    Imo, The WiiU/Nintendo has not yet reached the functionality of the 7th gen, making the value of the WiiU much lower then it has the potential to be. The only thing 8th gen is the amazing gamepad.

    1. So you’re saying that gamers don’t like to play top quality games because they’re exclusively made for families? And games require online multiplayer to be considered hardcore games?

      1. IMO:

        I’m saying gamers don’t want to pay for local coop when they have no interest in playing locally.
        I’m saying 90% of gamers 18+ that want to play with their friends, want to play online, not locally.
        I’m saying that even though the games Nintendo makes are of great quality they are not even considered by this market because of local coop only.(unless they are single player games)
        I’m saying games that have invested in local multiplayer must also have online multiplayer.

    2. Mario Kart Wii has sold over 30 million to date, and I bet atleast 95% of these play online…

      So in that regard our Empire has not forgotten the “Online market”…

      The problem is that many today don’t see any real value on any game unless they have online multiplayer…

      Some games are better of without it which is why Nintendo games are always at the top lists in basically any site ever…

      Because they focus on the game first, not “gimmicks” like online multiplayer just because of the sake for it…

      1. Exactly. Mario Kart and Smash Bros. Both are great examples of the amount of gamers on Nintendo that are looking to play online games.

        IMO:

        If you and your friends are looking to buy a console to game together with, those are basically the only online multiplayer games Nintendo makes. Even though they are elite games, why would they choose the WiiU? Two Games is just not enough, also they are competitive games, where are the cooperative online games? They are required as well (see MH3).

        I agree, a lot of gamers today do not see much value in the games that do not include online multiplayer(single player only games aside), Why? Because gaming locally is just not what people do anymore.

  25. If these western empires had any sort of intelligence left, they would atleast state that the Wii U might not have “Next Gen Specs” but everything else is next gen and more advanced than the competition in the innovation scale…

    But most people today always think that horse power alone defines every area of “Next Gen”…

  26. MrPSElite (Neutron)

    WII U 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahhahhahahahhahahahahhaha

    WII U NO GAMES 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. Wii U is the only next-gen console. If consoles were judged on specs alone, they should all be considered crap because PC has them beat in that area many times over. Wii U is the only console that brings innovation to the table. Sony and Microsoft bring nothing but slightly better graphics than last generation’s consoles and they are still weak compared to PC’s capabilities.

    1. You’re nothing but a blind NIntendrone. Gimmicky hardware isn’t the only means of innovation. More power = smarter AI, can lead to new different style of gameplay unyet discovered (Oculus rift anyone?) Massive Online worlds (Planetside 2 will have 2000 player maps), I’m sorry, how is this not innovating?

      1. yeah really hate what nintendo has become……. all they do is have gimmicks and have no games. they act like they innovate but to what, having no games, FORCED GIMMICKS and their decisions are getting worse and worse. what have i done nintendo. at least just bring fatal frame 4?????? you have no fucking games!!!!! the fanboys are so fucking stupid. i used to think that playstation fanboys were the worst and they can be pretty bad, seeing some people on this site really make me believe that the nintendo ones are the stupidest and only eat shit, they just take shit from nintendo and dont see any bad.

          1. xbox one man……. the kinect. yeah nintendo should at least give you an option for every game to play with pro controller. im sick of them ruining games from gimmicks or scaring of developers because they think its bullshit.

            1. Developers arent forced to use it though. It’ll just sit there gathering dust.

              The gamepad was a stupid idea honestly (waste of money too). They should of just stuck with the pro controller and beefed it up some more then maybe 3rd parties would finally support them again!

              *Cue fanboy*

              1. No jellybean… The kinnect is a big forced piece of shit you have to buy it at least. The gamepad is about 1 trillion times better than Kinnect , period.

      2. And I’m the drone? hahahahah. Massive online worlds?! Whoa! Playstation and Xbox are still weak compared to PC. You’re a tool, especially because you’ll keep buying them. At the very least, Nintendo puts out fun titles. Have fun doing the same damn thing on 2000 different maps. What a waste of time. It’s supposed to be a game, not a replacement for your damn life. I guess Sony and Microsoft cater to people like that, though. Either way, if you want power, why would you buy a console? Again, PC has a lot more power. And most of the popular titles that come out on those two consoles show up on PC not long after. But by all means, keep blowing your money for “power” hahah. Face it, the only reason you’re buying your next console is because you’re forced to if you want new titles. Those consoles have absolutely no new features.

          1. If you think about it, everything PS4 and Xbox One can do, your computer already does better, and it’s going to be that way for every new console Sony and Microsoft puts out. Yeah, I’m a Nintendo fan, but that doesn’t mean I’m blind to facts. Nintendo has never relied on solely on specs to market their hardware. Even if you don’t like the Wii U, you have to admit that Nintendo is trying new things with their consoles. The gamepad is a really interesting feature that you won’t find from any other brand, and it has some cool potential for future games. And as far as the Wii U games list goes. It’s not true at all that it has no games. In fact, it has many popular titles (exclusive and non-exclusive). That’s not even counting the blockbuster lineup Nintendo has for this coming fall through the holiday season and into 2014.

            1. xbox one completely usless to pc. ps is less, you will find plenty of games not on pc. yeah i know your point. if all about power why not go to pc. meaning people will get PS4 for their exclusive just like nintendo in the end. still comes down to people wanting consoles in the end though. where that hurts nintendo lacking third party and stuff. if nintendo could be good at bringing all good games to the west. my problem with them would go down 50% because the games they dont bring over could really help out their library and most of them would be top games. which really pisses me off.

        1. Yes, I’m a drone. I play PC, Xbox & PS. But you just play Nintendo and badmouth everything else.

          “The Wii U is a true next gen console”. You’re a drone.

          “Nintendo puts out fun titles”, Not a fact at all.

          Logic. You have none. Oh also, a PC may have more power, but it usually just gets trashy console ports, that’s why I’m ditching PC gaming. If the Wii U fails, I will laugh so hard, even though I’m going to get another one.

        2. Indeed, if somebody really did want the most power for a gaming experience then the PC is the logical choice. High resolutions, high framerates, better graphics, faster loading times, bigger online worlds etc.

      3. If only the more power did equate to smarter AI, artificial intelligence in video games barely seems to have evolved beyond the first 3D consoles, if the new hardware had a dedicated AI chip then we might see improvement but I fear that we will just see more eye candy, still stuck at 30fps. Oh well.

        More power hasn’t led to Oculus Rift though, it’s been designed from the ground up as a new piece of hardware, and could also be called a gimmick by the same argument I guess. I really want one to go with my PC though, I have faith in the project with Carmack being involved.

        I’ve been enjoying Planetside 2 for a while now, looks like PC is the means of innovation already with us?

    2. Ubisoft will even have there companion apps alongside in games such as the division. HOW ISN’T THIS INNOVATING?

      1. Not too good… this blog is now full of all kinds of trolls, haters, fanboys, elitists, and drones of X,Y and Z companies. Mother of god, all the smart and constructive arguments are gone, everything is now a freaking mess here. This is really disappointing.

        1. yeah it kind of has a trend….. the worst thing it seems is how low the fanboys go, look at them. just watch the sight be more normal on a week or so. i feel like im part of it but nothing really captures my interest today.

          1. (Hmm… I think I just need to learn more from here… not taking anything too seriously, just watching, analyzing, and learning…) Anyway, thanks Icea. :)

            1. Let the butthurt flow.

              You don’t post anything positive about Nintendo and you think you have thwe right to call other people drones? Get the fuck out of here you multi-console poser.

            2. hahahahaah yeah i know, fucking cod sucks but new super mario bros 36 is so fresh. the gamepad is so innovative, so innovative that all my favorite franchises are gimmicked and not to forgot the major sales nintendo gets!!!!! we get all the 3rd party support!!!! fallout who needs it, we got carnival games, SO INNOVATIVE.

  28. ONLY THE CHIP SET GOES NEXT GEN
    LOL YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELVES THAT SONY ZOMBIES
    IMAGINE BATTLEFIELD 4 BUILT FROM SCRATCH FOR WIIU IT WOULD UTTERLY DESIMATE PC PS4 AND XBONE

    IF THAT NEEDS EXPLAINING THEN IM ON A PLANET FULL OF RETARDS

  29. You got to love all these comments, most of which are from trolls who just stalk this site in search of troll food because they don’t have a life outside of teh interwebs. I lol every time.

    This site it basically full of Sony Drones, Xbots and PCocks now a days, what happened to the good old days when this site was just new and great fun to chat with other Nintendo fans without being harassed by some idiot who thinks the PSVita is better than the 3DS or complaining about console because they have PC they can play games at maxed settings.

    Okay, we get it, you don’t like Nintendo but please, you know that thing in the sky? Yeah, go outside and get some Vitmins and have fun outdoors, I love gaming but sometimes I just want to step outside and get some fresh air. #ShutupAndGetOut

    1. the reason i came to this website in the first place was to find people who like nintendo. you would be surprised how many people actually play cod. nobody i know likes nintendo so yeah but im also not a retarded fanboy. i have a wii u, hate it but i like nintendo. i just hope the wii u isnt like the wii, i dont like what nintendo has become and behind all my hate, i dont want nintendo to fail because i always played nintendo as a kid.

      1. I don’t see why the Wii U is that bad. I love the game pad, especially when they utilize it to its max. So what no games for awhile, once Pikmin 3 comes out(in which I’m excited for) we will start to get good games. Once this happens will you stop your bitching? Don’t say there aren’t ANY good games coming this year, because there is plenty. DKC TF looks pretty awesome.

    2. Most of these people who you label trolls actually like Nintendo. Just we like annoying drones more, just too hard not to annoy them.

      1. Holy shit!! Your logic is flawless!! Only one problem… I like Sony, Apple and PC so really your argument kind of is flawed..

    3. I grew up playing on Nintendo consoles. (and actually have only owned Nintendo consoles all my life). But I don’t like Nintendo anymore. Nintendo used to make a lot of games for the ones of us who aren’t interested in all the Mario games.
      I like the old Nintendo who had awesome 2nd party developers: Rare (makers of Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Conker, Jet Force Gemini, etc), Silicon Knights (Eternal Darkness), Left Field (Excitebike64).. Nintendo made Wave Race (both on GC and N64) and 1080°. All those games have a more mature feel to them that appeals to me. I liked all those games. The special relationship they had with Factor 5 (Battle for Naboo on N64, Rogue Squadron games on the Gamecube). But Nintendo decided to sell all those awesome 2nd party developers years ago. Already with the Wii I started to feel it, there was a lack of games that appealed to me on the Wii. Now with the Wii U it is even worse. I bought a Wii U only because of Zombi U (and my loyalty to Nintendo which now they have lost), as none of those games Nintendo has released for the system appeal to me. Nothing Nintendo showed at E3 appeals to me. Now they only make “kiddie games” that don’t appeal to me. Nintendo is out of touch. Nintendo lost me as a customer. I liked the old Nintendo who used to make other types of games that appeal to me. Nintendo should have created new studios in the West years ago to replace all those studios that they decided to sell, and start making new IP’s. This should have been done years ago, before the launch of the Wii U.

      1. Instead of complaining on a site that will only get you people to bitch at you, why not complain to Nintendo like others do. If they get enough people to bitch they will see the problem and try to fix it. I am also tired of CONSTANT mario games, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want another one for 4 years or something. The two games I’m wanting most is Star Fox and F-Zero.

  30. Let the butthurt flow.

    WooferZ and jellybean are the biggest assholes on this site. I hope WooferZ gets his throat slit same for jellybean.

        1. what about adrazz or whatever his name is. you forgot one. so who are you??? never seen you, using a pathetic alt.?????obviously you have been here to know who they are??

    1. Aggressive Masturbater.
