The Wii Who?

Greg Romeo from STFUandPlay writes, "Speaking with my younger cousins the other day, I asked them what they thought the Wii U is. One cousin answered with a confident, “Oh it’s a cheat system for the Wii” while the other hesitantly responded, “Umm isn’t it a new controller thing?” Now mind you, in no reality would these two be considered ‘gamers’ or even slightly in touch with gaming trends but answers like these beg the question- who is the Wii U attracting?"

This is sad and true... most "casual" and or non gamers I know that have a Wii ... didn't really know wtf a Wii U was. Hopefully they figure out a way to better market their product.

Trunkz4106d ago

As much as I love Nintendo products, my heart sunk at E3 when they showed it and called it a "Wii U". Their better off taking the old Wii's name, Nintendo Revolution, which is still better then Wii U...

Old McGroin4106d ago

Yup, met a couple of buddies a few weeks back and told them I bought a Wii U for Christmas and both of them thought it was a new controller type thing for the Wii. Nintendo's entire marketing department should be fired. And then executed. Maybe.

OOG4106d ago

yeah they are slipping.. shouldnt have used the same name

Thatguy-3104106d ago

Or just add a numeral to the name like most companies do lol wii 2 could have been more appropriate than a U. What does the U even stand for? O.o

insomnium24106d ago

Yeah the "U" irks me. I think they dropped the ball with a name like that. Wii 2 would've been atleast 36987276809 times better.

The typical consumer does not know what the Wii U really is. Unfortunately, the typical consumer was also the one who bought the Wii.

Kingthrash3604106d ago

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos18d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8818d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies17d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
