cause simply, the Wii U is in a league of its own. It has Mario, Donkey Kong and Zelda and exclusives that playstation and xbox fans can only dream of. I bought the Wii because of Mario and I'm ready to repeat it with Wii U and I can already see it happening. Getting the 3DS because of Snake Eater :P

Typeman5116d ago

Everything needs Gears. Even the Gameboy Colour needs Gears.

slavish35116d ago

I have never wanted to play Mario, Donkey Kong and Zelda after n64 :)

Typeman5116d ago

You're missing out on some great titles then! Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of the best games ever.

Maxned5115d ago

Lol, we all know youre lying. Stop trying to hide it just because of your fanboyism, its pretty pathetic.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario Galaxy have one of the highest if not THE highest review scores of all time. Plus there was Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Super Smash Bros, etc.

VampiricDragon5116d ago (Edited 5116d ago )

that is true mario galaxy 2 is one of the best.

Hell its the highest rated game of the gen. It doesnt get better

@disagree, facts are facts. Theres not one higher rated game.

ZombieAssassin5116d ago (Edited 5116d ago )

Even though it's very high rated it's in my top 3 worst Mario games of all time (along with SMG1), now NSMB was a great Mario game but it felt like it was missing something from the old ones.

EDIT: BTW I didn't disagree with you.

MysticStrummer5116d ago

This gen has shown me the truly worthless nature of review scores, so saying it's the highest rated game this gen is meaningless, to me anyway.

Raider695116d ago

The fact i cant play the Wii games on the Wii U in full HD glory is killing me more than everything else.

AWBrawler5116d ago (Edited 5116d ago )

Lol I knew fanboys were simple, but hitting disagree won't drop galaxy's score or make Nintendo franchises any less good

Samus HD5116d ago (Edited 5116d ago )

What's wrong with you people
are you that fanboy-ish or just don't have feelings (or taste)

You who disagreed (or are disagreeing) have you ever played super mario galaxy 1/2??
if yes than no way you didn't like it

it may look childish but it's REALLY fun (and one of the best Games) at least top 3

ZombieAssassin5116d ago (Edited 5116d ago )

Look I LOVE Mario games (played SM1/2/3/World/64 more than any other games) and I hated SMG1&2, not because of any fanboyism or not having any taste. I've played them both a good amount too. I think you might have a little fanboy in you though, since you can't accept the fact people might not actually like some games.

I understand A LOT of people liked it, just wasn't my cup of tea and felt like a crap Mario game to me personally.

And FYI no one has disagreed with you.

lordciansworth5116d ago

Anyone who could disagree that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of the best games of the generation is simply not a true gamer. Indisputable fact,
@disagrees I know it doesn't have killstreaks or tactical nukes in it, but you're going to have to try and look past that.

drosera15115d ago (Edited 5115d ago )

Oh yes, because millions of families with stupid kids voted it the best game of the gen, well then it must be true. Following along that stupid thought pattern means that a Big Mac is the best food on planet Earth because it sells alot.

Major wastes of money to just buy a console for one game.

baxy-z5116d ago

There's a lot of Xbox Fanboys on here you know?

Takoulya5116d ago

You're forgetting that in Nintendo's case, one franchise = 50+ games.

-_-

VampiricDragon5116d ago

nintendo has 15+ stable franchises with plenty of other exclusives that usually go just to them. Its more than 1 game

TenkoTAiLS5116d ago

As much as I agree with you, the people that brought an xbox for gears or halo, and the people that brought a ps3 for uncharted would disagree. If I get one or not depends on the launch line up, I don't buy a console untill they have a decent amount of good games on them that I personally like. Hence why getting a 3DS is still on hold till it sorts it's stuff out, tho Zelda, Street Fighter and Dead or Alive may be enough to warrant a purchase with Starfox not to far behind.

ZombieAssassin5116d ago

Zelda yes but we can get the best mario games on our pc's with NES/SNES emulators and the same with donkey kong. I really don't see the WiiU repeating the success of the Wii especially if it isn't priced under $300 as the main reason the Wii sold was the casuals and the introduction of motion controls along with a lower price tag than the competition. That being said if they release a good more mature Zelda game i'd drop $700 on a WiiU as long as the game was good.

matey5116d ago

What r all u new age gamers trying to put Mario down 4 look Mario is the reason ur running around in a 3D space on a 2D display yes Mario64 1st game to introducs real-time 3D gameplay SHOW SOME RESPECT oh and Galaxy2 is a masterpiece and makes alot of HD games look poor in design it shits on any game from ps3/360 period and Nintendo did that on 729mhz cpu/243mhz gpu imagine what they could do with custom Power7/Radeon HD

ZombieAssassin5116d ago (Edited 5116d ago )

What r u talking about "new age gamers", you're the one talking about N64 when I'm saying the best mario games where on NES/SNES. I've even said in this article I LOVE Mario games I just PERSONALLY think SMG2 is crap compared to most of them (and just as a game). Also don't call me a new age gamer I've been gaming since I was 3 on NES and Atari, I didn't start this gen or last or the one before.

You sound like a fanboy though with your "Galaxy2 is a masterpiece and makes alot of HD games look poor in design it shits on any game from ps3/360 period"....which IMO is worse than a "new age gamer".

Oh yea and Mario 64 wasnt the 1st game to introduce real time 3D gameplay, not even on consoles...it was one of the first PLATFORMING games to use 3D type gameplay. I'm pretty sure Crash Bandicoot used realtime 3D gameplay and it came out a month after.

EDIT: Ok after reading your comments you seem like a die hard NiN fanboy who has done nothing but set their and act like you know the final specs to the WiiU for the past few days even though nothing has been officially confirmed so I won't be responding to anything you write.

NBT915116d ago

LOL Yeah when I am playing God of War I dream of playing Mario, Donkey Kong and Zelda... Not like I did that 10+ years ago when they were relying on the same exclusives back then as well.

hudsoniscool5116d ago

I deffinatly want to play a bunch of ip's that have been around for 30+ years.

NBT915116d ago

Thats the thing, I like Nintendo but for a company that uses innovation as a U.S.P, they could do with some new exclusives.

TenkoTAiLS5116d ago

They do need some new IP's they can make a series out of, but at the same time why would they stop a current franchise if it still sells? Ever think the reason they keep making them is reguardless of what people say on message boards, they keep buying the games which in turn leads to a sequel.

Besides that, if they stopped making Zelda or Mario games that would be a sad day in game history, they personify Nintendo, you think of Nintendo and Mario generally is the first thing gamers think of. For a franchise to make it to 25 years and still be popular, that is an achievement, not something to frown apon. I for one am glad franchises like those still exist.

StarWolf5116d ago

Nintendo innovates with every zelda or mario game, sorry that you dont realize that since you dont play them.

Mario sunshine is completely different from Mario Galaxy.

Zelda windwaker was completely different from Twilight princess.

Etc, etc. Even Mario kart gets new things added like Double Dash and the kite wings for the 3ds as well as more things. Starfox was an arwing game, turned into an Adventure on GC.

AWBrawler5116d ago

Nintendo has new ips they just taking their time being localized:
Pandora's tower
Last story
Xenoblade
Disaster day of crisis

MysticStrummer5116d ago

You just said exactly why I don't care about the Wii-U, or Nintendo in general. I don't dream of those exclusives because I don't want them.

Raider695116d ago

Well the other consoles also have exclusive IPs that Nintendo cant have!

kikizoo5116d ago (Edited 5116d ago )

LOL. 3 or 4 good games, when you can play X100 better ones on ps3, or even xbox.

"can only dream of" : like the wiitendoboyz can only dream of good graphics, bluray, online, and uncharted, god of war, little big planet, heavy rain, gears, mass effect, la noire, killzone, and 1000 more.

by the way, sdtop approving propaganda blog like 123kinect, or that crappy thisiswiiu.com + , how can you expect interesting and unbiased opinion from them ?

AWBrawler5116d ago

I can assure I played all those games you mentioned aside from the god of war series ( hate it ) so again what was the point you were making? Unlike fanboys I actually own multiple consoles and I have friends with consoles I don't have

sloth33955116d ago

some people complained about the Wii U only doing 1080p but thats the highest the tv's go right now so even with more power its not going to be a big leap i dont think but might be bigger games and more polish to it

whydoyouask5116d ago

who exactly complained about that?

Consoles can't do true 1080p anyway, they are stuck at 720p and scaling to 1080p.

MysticStrummer5116d ago (Edited 5116d ago )

False. There are true 1080p games on both 360 and PS3.

e-p-ayeaH5116d ago (Edited 5116d ago )

It matters to me but anyways im not sure if next gen ill stick to home consoles. Im tired of disapointment.

Darkseeker5116d ago

"Why It Wouldn’t Matter if the PS4/720 Is More Powerful than the Wii U"

Why is there an If in that title? Nintendo are a generation late and the WiiU might not even be on par with the ps3 or 360 and you think it has a fighting chance against an actual unreleased next-gen console?

Hardest PS3/PS4 Platinum Trophies

Neocrisis - Here are some of the hardest platinum trophies to get on the PS3 and PS4. These are the ones that I was able to get myself.

IamTylerDurden12637d ago (Edited 2637d ago )

Some of the hardest platinums imo.

Orcs Must Die Uchained

Enter The Gungeon

Max Payne 3

Nuclear Throne

Super Meat Boy

bouzebbal2637d ago (Edited 2637d ago )

Velocity 2X
DJ Hero
SF4
KZ2
WipEout HD
...are among the toughest and 5 plats i am most proud of

jerethdagryphon2637d ago

Kz 2 the online was a stupid requirement

Knushwood Butt2637d ago

Congrats on Velocity 2X

I got the silver for 25 perfects...

joab7772637d ago

For me, in my run, it’s Lost Planet 2 and Killzone 2 before it’s patch. But about 3 yrs ago, I stopped chasing pointless trophies that are just wasted hours.

jazzking20012637d ago

i am not a plat hunter but i will try to get them.....if they do not require a ton of work to do.

jerethdagryphon2637d ago

Out of the 90 i have gt5 and sport are probobly high on the list that and sports champions

2pacalypsenow2637d ago

MGS 5 is not a hard platinum, it's just time consuming.

How is Killzone 2 not on this list?

jazzking20012637d ago

I have never played K2, thus not on the list.

kuraki_dan2637d ago

This list is trash.... infamous took me less than 24 hours to plat and resogun only a few days.... so many much harder/actually time consuming games. Warhawk for example...

Sniperwithacause2637d ago

OMG dude! You beat me to it. As soon as I started scrolling thru comments, and didnt see Warhawk yet I was going to post it.

the worst2637d ago

Warhawk is no joke. I have a championship blade. But flying all that time in the air. I just couldn't do it

franwex2637d ago

Still working on the mgs v one. So far I’m about 130 hours in. All I need to do is collect all the damn animals, beat the target tests on mother base, do the secondary objectives on the campaign. Phew.

Gameseeker_Frampt2637d ago

Killzone 2 is super hard now that the servers shut down yesterday.

joab7772637d ago (Edited 2637d ago )

That’s is my hardest before Radec was patched. I spent 9 straight hrs fighting him on Elite. And finally got him! Lost Planet 2 is also absurd!

And Dead Space 2 was tough, going through with like 3 saves for the whole game.

And is MGS 4 harder? I haven’t played 5, but going through 4 without alerting or dying is tough.

Knushwood Butt2637d ago

Radec was patched?

I admit I gave up.

My most enjoyable platinum was 2016 R&C. Most plats get tedious towards the end but R&C was fun the entire time.

dariux322637d ago

I am working on it right now. And game is stil fun to play in challenge mode.

jazzking20012637d ago

i also got it as a plat...trophies were mostly easy...thanks to a bug i was able to get the final racing trophy

jerethdagryphon2637d ago

You dont need a bug just need to practice a bit

SonyWarrior2637d ago

Socom confrontation is the true hardest plat they made that dumb hard to ever get the plat i doubt any one in the world besides the devs got the plat

2pacalypsenow2637d ago

Oh yeah that def was the hardest trophy prob out of all the games released on the Vita,Ps3 and Ps4

DaBudSmoka2637d ago

I got the socom platinum...so yea

AKS2637d ago (Edited 2637d ago )

That's the one that people seem to notice most. Several people have commented about that when they've checked out my trophies. I was more proud of getting the Big Boss Emblem in MGS4 in terms of gaming accomplishments, but alas there were no trophies when I got it.

jazzking20012637d ago

i beat MGS4 but that was before it got trophy support. If it had when i played it, i may have it now

AKS2637d ago (Edited 2637d ago )

The Big Boss Emblem was from a "perfect" run with no kills, health items, or alerts in under 4 hours on the most difficult setting. I feel like I should have a trophy for that.

jerethdagryphon2637d ago

Demons souls was pretty easy only pure bladestone was hard

The 10 Best Selling Gaming Consoles Of All-Time (As Of December 2017)

PhoenixUp2750d ago

I could’ve sworn the Genesis sold 40 million

kevnb2749d ago

i thought so too, the xbox one is probably already past 31 million as well.

badz1492749d ago

Best selling PS4 game is UC4 at 4 mil+?? WTF? It's not the best selling game on PS4 but it still sold like 10mil copies already by now.

kevnb2749d ago

ya, that uncharted 4 bundle sold like crazy.

Lime1232749d ago

I thought Uncharted 4 had better first week than Halo 5 in UK (where Xbox One is strongest, next to US), and it wasn't bundled then.

?

FyBy2749d ago

Wow ps4 shows its strenght. After 4 years is already in top 10. Surprise for me was og ps. I didnt knew it surpassed wii. And 62m for NES. Wow!

kevnb2749d ago (Edited 2749d ago )

sony is the only console maker that seems to be able to do really well in the entire world consistently. Xbox has troubles outside the west, Nintendo sometimes has problems in Europe, but Sony is killing it everywhere.

FyBy2749d ago

Yeah exactly! It was surprise for me, that every gen of ps is on the list. Nintendo is saved by its software and uniquenes. They have extremely well accepted first party titles.

Aceman182749d ago

PS1 didnt surpass Wii, it's just the Wii fell short of PS1 lol. Assuming we have another 2-3 yrs of the gen Sony will be only gaming company with 3 systems selling over 100 mil units. That is just inssne.

2749d ago
joab7772749d ago

Wow! Sony has 3 of the top 4 and the PS4 looks to be moving up into one of those spots. Crazy after all the issue with the PS3, it outsold the 360. And they turned it around by taking MS's lead. They focused on 1st party titles and making the gamer their top priority, like MS did for the 360s first 3-4 yrs. Then they started thinking too far ahead like their PC division.

PS4's Latest European Commercial Goes After Kids

This is interesting: a PlayStation 4 commercial targeted squarely at kids. Sony’s spent the past few years marketing the machine mostly at adults and core gamers, but it has hinted in recent interviews that it wants to widen the reach of the console as it pursues that all-important 100 million units milestone, and this is an example of that.
