Gametrailers: Wii U Review

Does Nintendo have another revolution at the ready or is it playing catch-up with HD graphics and tablet controls?

That was a pretty fair review, I think. They listed reasonable pros and cons for the system.

I was pleasantly surprised by it because lately Gametrailers' reviews have been awful

yes no killer app, is that why mario, and zombi u are selling out like crazy? yeah sorry game trailers, fans have made up their minds.. I know I know you GT are doing your masters sony, and microsoft bidding that is ok, i understand but when people tell their friends about Zombiu not just on miiverse but on face book, amazon, twitter, people, and rightfully so think you guys have lost it, you are losing trust with people and you do not deserve that trust anymore no wonder x-play's ratings went down, and so are yours GT i hope you get cancelled soon, where are good video game critics? Not just whooping fan boys of sony, and microsoft, b4 critics scoffed at just having better graphics, now they mock if you don not. Oh how the times have changed.

This logic "yes no killer app, is that why mario, and zombi u are selling out like crazy?" is flawed

Has it ever occured to you that the reason why they are selling out is because they are the best games available but not really must have calibre. It doesn't mean they are killer apps (i.e i must buy the new Wii U because these games are enough to buy a new system). When someone buys a new system they might want to play a few games on that system and so buy what games are available. What gametrailers is saying these games are not the must have like Wii sports was and so wait out for some must have games to come out because the system is good but there is no must have game just yet.

You can't have it both ways....we all want fair reviews that provide us as much non bias as possible...Gametrailers (IMHO) attempted to do just that.

It seems there are a lot of console owners who get very perturbed and defensive when things aren't favourable to their chosen platform. It's an insecure emotion for the most part.

The Wii U has no killer stand out title (so far), what's the problem with that opinion?

I want the Wii U to succeed, if anything, to ensure both MS/Sony up their game...it's also bad for the industry as a whole when consoles (see Sega - Dreamcast) fail.

At the end of the day, you gotta ask yourselves..... do you want the truth or something beautiful?

jbgamer4544d ago

No i do want fair, and they are not being fair, how can zombi u be considered great by so many fans but yet some of the big critics just all happen to not like it? I know you and some other smart people want the wii u to succeed i want all the machines to make it but i do think there is a deep prejudice in the video game community especially among the so called journalist because people like dan shoe have even said in the past that as long as nintendo is in the video game market they think that video games will always be looked at as toys for kids.

You know that is true, i mean look at how the media has fed this hate of nintendo look at how a lot of the sony, and microsoft fans act i know it seems like i hate sony, and microsoft, no i just do not like their fans, and how immature their fans act.

So i know that GT is not fair, they are not. They want video games to be for adult men only, to hell with everyone else, it is one thing to criticize Nintendo, it is another to be biased, and have an agenda behind your reviews i know it, and now a lot of fans are starting to realize it, i can take criticism but this no i know the reasons why they are doing this.

@jbgamer

Well, thank you for your constructive reply....

I for one cannot recall a time Nintendo let their core fans down...So you and other Wii U purchasers can rest in the knowledge that Nintendo will provide the goods.

I think the Gamestrailer review was fair...in that I understood the reviewers point in there is no 'stand out' game to justify existing PS3/360 owners to jump ship or buy as a 2nd console.

Looking at the line up, I am inclined to agree with the notion. Although I recognize this will change with the likes of Wii U Zelda, Mariokart and Metroid to name a few, in the near future.

With regards to prejudice, I would agree...but I think it is common among all console brands...MS/Sony/Nintendo

...I have seen PC gamers get much hate too.

Just feel confident in your purchase...other peoples opinions should matter less when it comes to parting with your hard earned cash ;)

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

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.

Reason number 1 why I haven’t played yet:
Cannot commit the time. :/

GotGame81817d ago

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.

Zeldafan6417d ago

It's nice that definitive edition makes level grinding easier. Quite a bit quicker than the original release.

PRIMORDUS17d ago

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.😕

Dhika17d ago

I bought it on the Wii U years ago and couldn’t get into it too 🙁

PRIMORDUS17d ago

I feel ya, sucks cause I wanted to like it, I tried.

TFdwnunder17d ago

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
