VinceNoir Posted 30 March 2015 Posted 30 March 2015 A new Banjo Kazooie game would definitely come out on the Xbox and not Wii U. Nintendo need to present Metroid, F-Zero or a new Mario (Super Mario Galaxy 3?) at E3. It won't be enough presenting just Starfox, Splatoon and Yoshi's Wooly World as this year's releases. Hopefully there will be a surprise or two in store!
Brenfox Posted 30 March 2015 Posted 30 March 2015 I think the Wii-U is pretty much dead which is a shame as it's a great console. I own all 3 current gen & typically I think that most people like myself would rather buy the multi platform games on the other consoles. Aside from a few exclusives the console really cannot compete.
Uncle Phil Posted 30 March 2015 Posted 30 March 2015 I think it's some of the Rare team that made b.k. but at another studio, so it's like a follow up with different characters. Something along those lines. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/03/first_screens_fromnbanjo-kazooie_spiritual_successor_are_revealed_kickstarter_coming_in_may The Mega Man games are tough, I was hoping for a new one what with MM being in Smash but I'm not holding my breath. Earthbound is certainly worth a go though if you like rpgs, I'm not usually a fan of turn based combat but it's good fun and the soundtracks quite cool. There had best be a few surprises at E3 or the whole thing will just be a bit of a let down bar Star Fox.
Sharpe's Fox Posted 30 March 2015 Posted 30 March 2015 Nintendo used to own Rare as a second party dev and when Rare went to Microsoft they kept the rights to the IP's they created like Banjo Kazooie and Conkel's Bad Fur Day, and so are now in the ownership of Microsoft. Nintendo kept the IP's that Rare made games for that they originally created, like Donkey Kong Country and Diddy Kong Racing. Not holding my breath on Star Fox here, still have nightmares of Star Fox Adventures *shudder*

That was a truly great game
Uncle Phil Posted 31 March 2015 Posted 31 March 2015 There's a Nintendo Direct tomorrow at 11pm, focused around 2015 releases for Wii U and 3ds. A lot of rumours about N64 games on vc which is all well and good but hopefully not the main event.

VinceNoir Posted 1 April 2015 Posted 1 April 2015 Hopefully some classics appear then. Anyone for Blastcorps or Jet Set Gemini on VC? Think you're mixing up Jet Force Gemini and Jet Set Radio Future But I'm totally with you! Those two games were class.

Those two games were class. haha of course Jet Force Gemini how dense am i . Blastcorps was a game alot of people missed out on. Body harvest aswel was class. The VC could be a life saver for the Wii U if they made every game available.

Would be unbelievable if they did.
VinceNoir Posted 2 April 2015 Posted 2 April 2015 Mario Maker out this autumn, Yoshis World in June. Great new Mario Kart 8 updates coming April 23rd, personally really looking forward to the 200cc mode! Also, they announced some Smash Bros updates as well as releasing a few N64 and NDS games on virtual console.

Uncle Phil Posted 2 April 2015 Posted 2 April 2015 Yeah some nice announcements but nothing to get too excited about for me. Do you guys bother with amiibos?
VinceNoir Posted 2 April 2015 Posted 2 April 2015 Nah, they're not for me. I think they're too gimmicky. I don't understand why some games can't have certain features without forcing the customer to buy a £15 figurine. They could've incorporated a lot of the amiibo features into the Mii stuff. It'd make it much better if your miis could get achievements and XP that you then could use on accessing new features in certain games. That's how I'd like it to be, but I'm quite sure plenty of people make a big deal out of collecting the amiibos, which of course is fair enough.
SeattleShane Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Yeah some nice announcements but nothing to get too excited about for me. Do you guys bother with amiibos? Got 30 of them at the moment, going to buy the Splatoon 3 set on Tuesday.
Phube Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 I would love Amiibo's but I can't get the ones I (my daughter) want!
SeattleShane Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 I would love Amiibo's but I can't get the ones I (my daughter) want! Out of interest which ones?
Uncle Phil Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Is 30 all of them? I have mega man but that was a gift. Whilst we're talking Nintendo again, has anyone been playing xenoblade on the 3ds? Or the wii I guess. I recently got the 3ds version, great game so far, only around 10 hours in and a long way to go!
Phube Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Out of interest which ones? Rosalina is top priority for my little not I'm not spending £30+ to get it!
Phube Posted 2 June 2015 Posted 2 June 2015 Splatoon is awesome, anyone with a Wii U must get it. That is all!
Jonezy Posted 2 June 2015 Posted 2 June 2015 Splatoon is awesome, anyone with a Wii U must get it. That is all! Not a shooter guy, but I'm addicted to Turf Wars now... Best fun I had in a while....
Phube Posted 2 June 2015 Posted 2 June 2015 Not a shooter guy, but I'm addicted to Turf Wars now... Best fun I had in a while.... My thoughts exactly. I'm really not into CoD, MoH, Battlefield etc. But this is strangely addictive... Loving it! Do I have you on my friends list?
