In an interview with CNET, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime revealed that the Nintendo Wii U sold upwards of 400,000 units during its launch week and that it is pretty much entirely sold out of retail. This must be promising news for Nintendo as they have sold everything they produced for the first week, but how does this compare to the first week sales of other consoles in North America?
Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!
Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.
Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.
Bandai Namco is considering working on a remastered version of its 2011 fighting game, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, for modern platforms.
Would be nice to see a fighting game releasing with the complete roster for a change …
The ill-fated Wii U sold very few units, so it is understandable if you missed out on Xenoblade Chronicles X, here are 9 reasons why you should play the Definitive Edition.
The nice thing about X is you have a Follow Ball. If you haven't played for a few days it will help you jump right back in! Fantastic game! You should at least have 5 initial hours over 2 days or so to invest. I also suggest grinding to at least level 14 before chapter 3.
It's nice that definitive edition makes level grinding easier. Quite a bit quicker than the original release.
I bought it thinking it was like the trilogy and expansion on Switch. I played it for 15 or so hours and stopped. Couldn't get into it, the gameplay was not like the previous ones, it was not what I expected.😕
Greatest RPG ever except end game makes it impossible to complete for anyone who focused on mech battles. Do not focus on mechs or you will be disappointed
It sold out of stock and people are comparing it. Why compare it? If it's sold out then it shouldn't be compared to anything else since it can't exceed X amount of units sold due to, y'know selling out.
i hope PS4 will be priced like Wii U from day one because i'm not ready to pay 600€ like i did in 07.
We can't predict how the Wii u will be doing in the future from these numbers alone.
The gamcube in the first week sold 500000 unit in the first week but it lifetime sales were very miserable.
The ps3/Xbox 360 sold about 400000 unit in the first week and both going strong over the 70 million mark.
The desperation of buyers of the Wii who couldn't get one is nowhere to be found for the WiiU.
That's the point. And it's not sold out. That's lies. I can go right now to my local Walmart. Their right behind the glass.
Reggie says that wii sold 300k units first week...lies.
It was 600k. So WiiU is 200k behind.
Reggie says blops2 is better looking on the WiiU.
Lies....screen tearing, 8fps is single player, color saturation (subjective), AA.....looks no better than 360; and under performs big time compared to 360.
wii u will not be anywhere near as successful as wii.. It will prolly sell like N64 did
