Tesco, the 3rd biggest retailer in the world have massively screwed up the launch of the Wii U console with numbers of customers complaining of deliveries not arrive, being told the console has been sent, not sent and has gone missing from their systems. Us included. We explain the story so far along with twitter and facebook posts showing how Tesco have badly handled this situation.
The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.
This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.
Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
wow at first i was gonna say OWNED but i Feel Bad for Them :(
Small update, Tesco are offering a whole £10 Gift card to say sorry for all of this. Bit insulting really. Also All the messed up orders will be dispatched tomorrow but won't arrive till the 10th of December for some reason.
Tesco is really starting to go down the pan. I have been shopping with them for years but 2 months ago I decided to go with Asda and I was shocked at how much cheaper they were and how much better quality there food was.
Ive had the same issue with delivers as well where they have been late or turned up the day after.
I do think Tesco need to sort there services out and quick as they could really start to see more and more people shop somewhere else.
Tesco are not only incompetent, but outright con artists too.
Earlier this year, I checked their website for a price on Portal 2. When I visited the store, it turned out that the price was £12 more than advertised online. When I confronted the staff and the manager regarding this, I was told that the store and the website are "two separate entities" (despite sharing the same name) and that I must order it to get the advertised online price.
This is where it gets stupid. They offered to order it for me to collect in store at the advertised price. Since the game was in stock on the shelf, I asked if I could buy the one they had at the online price and then they could just use the order to replace the one I had bought. After all, the end result is the same. But no, they wouldn't do that.
I told the manager outright that this policy is bullshit, after which he wasn't willing to discuss it further.
I sent a complaint by e-mail and got a call a few days later from the head office. They made the same excuses about "two separate entities" and the discussion basically went the same way as it did with the store manager.
In the end, I didn't even get a £10 gift card for my troubles, so those who ordered the Wii U can consider themselves lucky.
It might also be worth mentioning that I ordered my Wii U Deluxe from Amazon with free Super Saver delivery. It arrived on the morning of the release day. I also only paid £199 for it.
Tesco don't care about, gamers, or games, or even profit from games, its all about just pulling in more customers to their stores.
Still with you local gaming dedicated stores, they wont neglect gamers, as that's their only sauce of income.
Better yet, visit you local independent Game store!
