    1. It was meant for 3D though and It will still be better on the 3DS anyways.

      An example: RE:Revealations on 3DS is a better version then the “HD” remake on the WiiU.

      If you don’t have a 3DS….well then it’s time to get one and join the rest of the world.

  1. Because nintendo made a console for no one, not hardcore, not causal gamers, and even themselves are not supporting it

      1. Actually you are kind of wrong with that, NES, SNES, N64, All these console made by Nintendo were made for GAMERS same with the Gamecube, Wii and the Wii U. You’d be a bias moron to think that Nintendo doesn’t deserve praise for making gaming a better place yet with people like EA who keep making the same games over and over again are getting most of it.

        You sir are either a moron or a zombified Micro$oft Nerd or Sony Drone.

        1. You are a handicaped piece of shit, read my comment below, i accidentally posted this unfinished one, yes nintendo deservED the praise they got before, not anymore, the last great game they made is mario galaxy, and what now??3d world?that is their next step?no innovation, no orchestrated music?no great graphics??no incredible level design?WTF?and you are all happy with that?i’m not, i bought the wii u first day beause i couldn’t believe what nintendo could do with hardware so much more powerful..remakes?step backs?mario kart 8 is the only game i’m impressed with

          1. Soo i’m assuming you have played 3d world?. the wii u is’nt selling atm because nintendo underestimated the dificulty of developing in HD that’s why the console is’nt selling because of lack of games, it’s not hard to figure out.

            1. So i should understand that??i should say “it’s ok, no problem” it’s not like i’m paying them for the games anyway, right??WRONG!!!!!

          1. COD on Xbox is where the Causals went. Or maybe Kinect Adventures since that was the most sold Xbox 360 game…

            1. An* and also AAA games are: wazvh dogs, gta 5, little big planet, far cry 3, skyrim, assassin’s creed…you see the difference?voice acting, online mp, motion capture, level builder(LBP), huge games…those are AAA games, iwata himself said that nintendo is trying to minimize their game budget, watch the e3 2005

              1. e2005 really. Pikmin 3, 93% rating on Famitsu is not triple A. We have this game on 3DS I don’t want it on the WiiU. Simple reason I hate castlevania. Also the xboxone is the one system that will suffer this generation. Watch and learn.

              2. True but thats all in the pass. Nothing compared to what truly happening now. If ask me, all of them need fix their problems, forget the past and grow up. Meaning Sony needs to stop coping nintendo, nintendo needs to pull their heads out of there asses and start getting more 3rd party support and quit trying to get casual gamers and go for the full deal for all, and xbox needs to stop grabbing peoples money for cheap ass games and make their user fee disappear. That goes for trolls and haters too dissing one system over the others all because it doesn’t feel good to you. Which reminds me, have you guys even tried beating DKC Return??? I believe you won’t beat it so easily on mirror mode and I’m not talking about the 3DS version either. Point is, if you think Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are the only nintendo hardcore games, you’re deadly mistaken, DKCR is another one of the few wii games that are for hardcore types. You guys, missing alot of them. I’ll be more than happy to name them too you.

          1. donko or donkey lol man ur a troll.
            for me kinda play mario not a lot and i don’t play pokemon but those games from the best selling games in the history i don’t see ur point here do u want nintendo to stop those games just because ur a troll?
            if u don’t like nintendo don’t buy it simple as that :)
            but what i can say heater gona hate

    1. With AAA games, never did, i don’t know how people can be happy with games like mario bros or mario world, and constant remakes, nintendo has no big budget games, none of their first party games has online mp, much to explore, or anything, on the wii i could understand, because the machine was weak, but now they are still making the same games in higher resolution, nothing they could not have done with the wii

    2. Thats probably one of the stupidest things i have heard. First of all WiiU is full of exclusive content in the end of this year.
      Sonic Lost World
      Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
      Super Mario 3D World
      Wonderful 101
      The Legend Of Zelda WW HD
      etc.
      There is also multiplats like
      Call Of Duty Ghosts
      Splinter Cell Blacklist
      Rayman Legends
      etc.
      WiiU is supported like every other Nintendo home console since N64 if not better which is enough for me, but if you dont like WiiU i suggest you to stop whining and get another system. Ofcourse it could be that your life is so boring that you dont have anythin else to do than whine over an plastic box.

      1. Not impressed. Donkey Kong Country looks like the Wii version in HD. Super Mario 3D World looks the same as the 3DS game and it’s too easy. The Legend of Zelda: WW HD is just a remake. The third party support is pathetic.

          1. So is Nintendo fault that this is your first console launch? Ps3 have even less games and third party games in his first 3 years and if it wasn’t for blue ray it would have flopped.

            1. I played my PS3 way more at launch.I bough the Gamecube and Wii at launch and sold them a while afterwards. Nintendo haven’t been the same since the N64 in my opinion.

              1. And what did you play during the ps3 launch? Cuz it wasn’t third party’s games atleast not good ones and HD upgrades galores. In short why bash the wiiu if you haven’t even try it?

                1. I’ve got a Wii U and never play it. Not impressed with the line up so far. Most third party games they are offering are missing features and are at full price. They need games like GTA V on day one. It’s the biggest game of the year and we don’t even know if Nintendo is getting it. It’s not good enough.

        1. And you also decided to ignore the ones that are not any of that? Get out of here and come back when you grow a brain.

            1. But you eat the same games that Sony and Microsoft give you every year. Tell me what original game have you try on those console that isn’t a reskined game.

                1. donko

                  cod games
                  BF 1 and 2 and 3 and 4

                  is this ur originality ??

                  pikmine
                  donkey kong
                  and we have Wonderful 101 and boynta 2 and sonic the lost word
                  and third party support.
                  so it simple ur a troll who have no life only to be jealous and trolling for console u will not buy.
                  really pathetic life u have….

                  1. Oh, i have the wii u, and the fact that something sells well does not mean it is a high budget game.angry birds sells well, and many more ios games sell better than most big titles, 3rd party support?wow i see it, i see it all the time really…on other consoles!and my god are those games you just mentioned innovative!no they are not, those franchises used to be the ones that pushed the market standard, but not anymore, now they are just games that people call unique because they are nintendo exclusive and are old, nintendo makes small budgets for those games because they know idiots like you will buy them no matter the size, they are quality, but, they are small games that can be beaten within one day and with little to none exploration…skyrim is a huge title with a enormus budget..you see how it is expansive the world in that game is, how it is talked about it still, yes it is because bethesda gave alot of money to make such a beautiful game

              1. No I don’t actually. I don’t even like Microsoft. I like Sony and Nintendo. I’m not interested in Killzone, Infamous, God of War and there’s probably a few others. Please stop trying.

                1. Then you are better with Microsoft then. The only games they have are third party’s wich is the only games you care.

                    1. The exclusives that their fanboys don’t buy no matter how good they are? Those exclusives?

            2. You are stupid to buy a console and don’t play it. Don’t be blaming nintendo for your stupid choice. Who the hell buy a system an don’t play it. KMFT. get the fuck out of here… you fail bitch.

        2. The hell it isnt. And why the hell you judge game based on what it looks. Hell DK64 and Banjo Kazooie look terrible but fuck those are awesome games. You just look reasons to whine because its all you can do, you dont have anything else goin on. Like i said if you dont like WiiU get another system, no one cares in the end of the day. I dont like Playstation and Xbox systems but i dont whine about them, because i enjoy system i like, you should too.

            1. I think he means the polygrons graphics back then was awesome but not anymore. True, they were good games but once sold to microsoft, the took all of the games and ruined them…heh heh, ironic. Terrible graphics, awesome games…now great graphics, terrible games.

                  1. Wii sold more then ps3 and x360 because of the casual market, and because it was much lower priced, look at this generation when wii u is not so much cheaper, ps4 will destroy it, and i hope it does, maybe then nintendo will finally start making good games again

  2. Let me guess “There isn’t much people on the Wii U”… you do know in order for that to happen you have to, oh I don’t know, RELEASE GAMES ONTO THE PLATFORM. Poor excuse is poor excuse.

    1. I am blaming the boss of Nintendo. I’m fed up with the BS. They don’t want third party support bad enough.

      1. They do want third party what they don’t want is paying them big money just to get a gimped version like it happened to the ps3.

          1. Who is stoping you? You will he back by your own will. That’s how commerce work. They show you what they offer and you decide if you want it or not.

    2. I see their logic, Nintendo fans already received the game on 3DS, so they’re saving time and resources not binging it to Wii U.

    3. Can’t blame third party for that. For a console to get a good install base for 3rd party to see it as a good enough investment, it’s up to 1st party to get the ball rolling.

      It’s not Konami’s or anybody else’s responsibility to get Nintendo’s console out of the deep end. Only Nintendo can do that.

      1. Actualy we can blame them. Is their own lack of quality developing that’s is killing their own games.

  3. That’s fucking hilarious! What a bunch of bullshit! I have it on 3DS and it was good, but the fact it WAS exclusive to a Nintendo handheld but won’t be coming to Nintendo’s home console is ridiculous.

        1. I never put all my faith in one console so I really don’t mind that much. The lack if Link might disappoint me slightly but it’s not like I played him much, so oh well.

          1. I did…it was during my fanboy years. I’m not too much of one now. But nintendo is my home console. *puts hand in pockets with head tilted a little looking at you* I will still defend it but I play others now…or did, lost my PS2 in a freak storm, Brother took his 360 back with him and all the games we had was already on 360 so my ps3 collected dust and was unable to play anything on it, and because of that, I don’t have a user profile on it. All that is left for me is this wii u, and a collection of my fanboy day’s systems which are worth alot more now…like my N64, GBA original, game cube with GBA player all working condition, my wii, an SNES which is still in my previous home, Texas (where my brother is heading back too), and in the sae place, my NES.

            1. Me too. I have owned all consoles this Gen except a wii (weird isn’t it?) I have come to regret not having bought one the same way I regret investing more on the Xbox than on the ps3. Now the wiiu is doing the right things for Nintendo and people still bash them.

              1. Well trolls and haters are either afraid or blind to see and move on. But if they really want something to be pissed off on the xbots, I got bad news for them too. Xbox one is suffering the same thing Wii U already is according to the newest Gaming informer. These guys are dead on the mark when it comes to systems and newer games. If you like, I can type it all in.

  4. This Castlevania isn’t very good one anyway. I hope for decent 2D ones.. Well, I always have a PC-Engine for that goodness.

  5. And then some think I’m the blind one…

    Do you not see how they are treating our Empire?!

    Pathetic low life scum!

    I’ll ban every developer not supporting our Empire 100% from now on!

    It’s enough!

    1. The thing is you are just a fan and you cant ban them. But i would like to ban them too. But then again who the fuck cares? Who the fuck buys Nintendo system for games like this? Thats right no one. When it comes to Nintendo 1st party actually is first and not 3rd like on multimedia twins.

  6. It seems that all Konami makes these days are “remakes.” Metal Gear on 3DS, Castlevania Lords of Shadow on PS3 and Xbox, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, Silent Hill HD Collection, and Zone of the Enders HD Collection…. Got any NEW ideas, Konami? Well when you do, I’d appreciate a release on the Wii U. I think we Nintendo fans can afford to wait until you’re done with your so called “HD remakes.”

  7. I like how nearly every third party is sh-tting on the U and Ninten isn’t doing anything about it. I wonder when the big wigs will put their foot down and say enough is enough..?

    1. Tysamu, notice how THQ has closed down, Atari, Atlus is in trouble (through no fault of their own I might add) Hudson has been gone for a long time(bought up), EA and Activision are buying up everything they can to stay afloat. Basically what I am saying is these 3rd party companies can’t make money anymore. Their games aren’t selling enough copies on Microsoft and Sony’s consoles. Hence why Square Enix was not proud of the Tomb Raider reboot. But, look at Nintendo, they flourish and they can flourish BY THEMSELVES. Something Microsoft and Sony can’t do. The third parties are afraid they will go out of business. Basically, Nintendo IS putting their foot down. You can join Nintendo and stay afloat as a company and make video games for the Wii U/3DS, or you can suffer financially. Platinum Games is being funded by Nintendo right now, same with SEGA. Monolith Soft was bought by Nintendo. They joined Nintendo to save themselves. If these other 3rd party companies don’t, then they’ll simply go out of business just like the rest of’em. Nintendo has given them an ultimatum…just not directly. The only two companies I can see lasting on their own are EA and Activision, but even they can’t last forever. Something Nintendo can do.

      1. “Platinum Games is being funded by Nintendo right now, same with SEGA. Monolith Soft was bought by Nintendo. They joined Nintendo to save themselves”.

        Oh really? I must have missed that buy out. I didn’t know that Monolith Soft was bought out by nintendo. Still, Altus needs either Sega or Nintendo to buy them if they hope to stay in business…I really don’t think xbox should have them if what they did to rareware’s games. They even ruined Conker’s multiplayer mode. That was a sad day for me because I loved the multiplayer mode of the first Conker’s BFD.

        1. Yeah, they were bought along time ago:
          http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/27/xenosaga-dev-studio-bought-by-nintendo/

          Sega is owned by American Sammy which they got bought out by shortly after the Dreamcast. Hudson was bought and dismantled by Konami which is a shell of its former self.

          I might buy Castlevania on the 3DS, its an ok game and reminds me of the arcade version they put out in the 80s, but not rushing to anything right now. I have too many games and have my eye on Wonderful 101.

    2. They aren’t doing anything really because they don’t need them. Simple. Nintendo is fully capable of sustaining themselves without the help of third party support.

  8. This really sucks! I wish Nintendo would just buy the Castlevania series from Konami and make it exclusive to Nintendo.

    Super Castlevania 4 for the SNES is still my favorite Castlevania game to this day. Starting to get sick of Konami and all there half assed bullshit. Stop with the HD ports and remakes and come out with something to contribute to your franchises.

  9. No one to blame here but Konami. There’s absolutely no excuse to have what was a 3DS exclusive come to the PS3, 360, and not the Wii U. Even Capcom has better sense than this.

  10. Pingback: Castlevania mirror of fate hd not coming to the wiiu

    1. They have been corrupted by the Xbots and Electrons into believing that power/graphics is what makes games great…

      It’s pathetic…

      They should go back in time and see Mystical Ninja 64 and realise how much better that game is still than many of todays modern games…

  11. I’m not worried about any of those 3rd party, most of them are on the verge of going bankrupt, Let them fail and shut down. It’s appalling how stupid game companys have become so i don’t feel sorry for them all. I’ll have good nintendo games to play regardless if they release thier games on wii u or not. Also indie devs are the future big game devs that will take the place of all current big game devs/publishers after they close down and it’s good that nintendo is taking them under it’s wing

  12. Pingback: Konami anuncia Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror Of Fate HD, pero no para Wii U... Un poco de reflexión | www.nextn.net

  13. First Resident Evil Revelations now Castlevania…Can nobody keep their word anymore. Seriously there’s like no honor amongst Devs anymore.

  14. This makes me laugh so freaking hard. I have always hated Mercury Steam after they made Shitvania. I played Mirror of Fate on 3DS and it is awful as all get out. It feels nothing like a true Castlevania game and even if it wasn’t flying under that name it would still be a terrible piece of shit. Mercury Steam shit all over one of my favorite franchises and I hope that one day we will see a return of true Castlevania games and not this Mercury Steam bullshit. Dave Cox needs to go suck his last name.

  15. Honestly, IDC. Mirror of Fate was an ok game at best. Doubt it’s gonna sell well on 369/PS3. It would be ironic though it Colin Moriarty praised the PS3/360 versions after bashing the 3DS version.

  16. It doesn’t really matter. Mirror of Fate is very forgettable. I sold it after completing and collecting everything in 10 hours. I haven’t missed it at all.

    I’m looking forward to Lords of Shadow 2 though. I loved the first game and the sequel looks even better!

  17. I don’t care about a Castlevania game since the SNES. For me Konami destroyed the series and it’s getting worst.

  18. I bought this game on release date for 3ds. It was nice, music was great in game, story was alright, the game was 10 hours and i finished it 98% in 10 hours. Actually the game also sold horribly on 3ds, it sold something like 100k copies to today

  20. Man, you Nintendo hard-ons really take the lamest console VERY seriously. Let me know how making excuses for a crappy gaming experience works out for you. Have a nice day.
