Support NeoGAF

[dallow_bg]

I can still buy a costume pack or two right? Cripes, I just bought the U version a little over a week ago cause it was $10 less and I didn't care about the online.

Any DLC already released so far should still be up.
The cancelled DLC was more single player campaign which blows.

 

[alr1ght]

Wasn't this the "it's not the same game, it's not the same content" as well?

Oof!

I think that was Ark City.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

They couldn't even release it when people had already paid for it? I don't even understand anymore.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Still the same fucking jokes though

There is no need

To be upset

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Even with the missing MP mode the WII U version was the best console version. I'm not a big fan of the series though.

Nope.

 

[Yuripaw]

I did my part and bought Wii U day one... why do developers hate me so much

 

[WillyFive]

Interesting that it's Nintendo doing this instead of Warner Bros.

 

[Kusagari]

Man...

This is just getting sad now.

 

[Yagharek]

There is no need

To be upset

I laughed at the money shredder gif.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Yeah, seems weird they would cancel DLC for this.

 

[SmokedMeat]

It's a shame Wii U can't go out with at least a tiny bit of support. At this rate it's literally going to be a Nintendo only system. I'm actually wondering if it can survive long enough for X to show up

 

[Shard]

The train wreck was seen not a mile but 1000 miles away from all the way back in 2011.

Not like this, nobody saw things becoming this bad.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Interesting that it's Nintendo doing this instead of Warner Bros.

Good catch.

 

[Slermy]

Even with the missing MP mode the WII U version was the best console version. I'm not a big fan of the series though.

Really? Why is that? I thought I had read it was the worst version.

 

[Sub_Level]

Not the same game

Not the same content.

 

[Draconian]

Nope.

I'll trade the performance issues for the buggyness of the other two versions.

 

[smurfx]

haha what a turnaround from last gen.

 

[vagabondarts]

At this rate I expect Reggie to sail into the west with Galadriel soon

 

[jabuseika]

This is getting sad.

 

[Seth Enosh]

Sad. I guess as a launch week Wii U owner I'm partly to blame for this. Out of my 10 retail games only 3 are third party and two I bought at fire sale prices after they bombed...

At least we are still getting indies for now...

 

[Dildo Saggins]

Its only going to keep getting worse. Remember, we have a whole generation of kids who just grew up not giving a single shit about Nintendo or their legacy.

This is the dangerous game that Iwata chose to play. Hell, he's doubling-down on it as we speak.

 

[kuYuri]

This is another reason why I would not buy a third party, multiplatform game on Wii U, as bad as that sounds.

 

[Stumpokapow]

From that site you Go for Nintendo news.

you can just link it

[KingJ2002]

Sad but needs to happen. This will show Nintendo that changes need to be made... not just with sales, but with the network and third party relations.

hopefully e3 will sing a brighter tune for Nintendo.

it's always darkest before the dawn.

 

[TheRealTalker]

They couldn't even release it when people had already paid for it? I don't even understand anymore.

welcome to my world

 

[iamvin22]

sorry but its only going to get worse.

 

[Wishmaster92]

WOW... i was gonna say.....nvm it's useless because nintendo will never listen.

 

[shamanick]

I don't feel bad for Nintendo, but I do feel bad for Wii U owners. I know I would be pissed.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Really? Why is that? I thought I had read it was the worst version.

It is. Frame rate dips the worst of all three consoles, and it's missing online. Only positive I believe was less screen tearing.

 

[Man God]

Really? Why is that? I thought I had read it was the worst version.

No screen tearing and fewer glitches. Framerate and visuals take a hit though.

 

[Card Boy]

Not like this, nobody saw things becoming this bad.

I did, I thought the E3 reveal and the Wii U capability was a joke and thought no one would buy a PS3/360 level of graphics console. Looks like i was right.

Cassidy redeemed?

 

[Kriken]

Rather than keeping tabs on which 3rd party companies aren't giving the full experience for Wii U, I'm trying to keep tabs on which ones are.

Spoiler

I like making shorter lists

It's not banned anymore!?

 

[GeoramA]

Awesome third-party support you got there, Nintendo.

 

[Usually Right]

I did, I thought the E3 reveal and the Wii U capability was a joke and thought no one would buy a PS3/360 level of graphics console. Looks like i was right.

The success of Wii U was completely dependent on them managing to convince people the gamepad controller had any value whatsoever, and so far they've barely even released their own software that utilises it in an impressive way. Just a terrible console concept all round. Who knows how well the system could have done if they hadn't felt the need to burden it with a trend following gimmick and instead launched at a cheaper price or with competent graphical power. Maybe this game would have stood a chance if it looked actually better than games on consoles from nearly 10 years ago.

 

[fernoca]

That explains my thread from earlier then.
And:

That's what I thought, because it was exactly $19.99. But checking the purchase history, the only things for that amount were:
-Arkham Origins Season Pass
-New Super Luigi U
-Trine 2 Director's Cut

And all still there. Hmm. Really weird.

No biggie, and I get to own the released DLC anyway. Used the refund to get Castle Storm and Coaster Crazy Deluxe.

 

[HUELEN10]

I don't feel bad for Nintendo, but I do feel bad for Wii U owners. I know I would be pissed.

Day one owner here, can't say I'm pissed, just saddened. Yes, most of what I play is Nintendo published titles, but a Nintendo console should have non-Nintendo games on it too. Even though it would be foolhardy to call this the case, I feel as people have failed the console more than the console has failed on its own merit (again, not stating this as fact, just how I feel). Those are just my feelings, and it makes me sad that stuff like this is happening. There are now children who didn't grow up with Nintendo, and that can only mean that the fanbase is literally dying out, just like Star Trek; more fans are dying than being made. It's scary!

Do you know how conflicting it feels when the best console (in your eyes) that you've ever owned, and the best one ever made (again, in your opinion) suffers like this? It's unreal! That's how I feel.

 

[Effect]

I feel for those that bought this version of the game and were looking forward to this content. Not for Nintendo. I would hope they'd be embarrassed by this but I believe Iwata is incapable of feeling that nor do they really care anymore.

 

[John Harker]

Recall when I mentioned a couple months ago you'd prolly see some cancelations coming up depending on sales of a few key titles.

Hey look, I'm like a super vague nonspecific soothsayer

 

[Delio]

Sad but needs to happen. This will show Nintendo that changes need to be made... not just with sales, but with the network and third party relations.

hopefully e3 will sing a brighter tune for Nintendo.

it's always darkest before the dawn.

Could always just be dark forever. Devs have two others to play ball with.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

You know the situation is bad when publishers won't even bother releasing DLC that's been paid for for already released games.

Pretty much this. Everyone just wants to bail out of that platform.

 

[MrDaravon]

Has a Season Pass ever been canceled and people refunded before?

 

[Effer]

Sad but needs to happen. This will show Nintendo that changes need to be made... not just with sales, but with the network and third party relations.

hopefully e3 will sing a brighter tune for Nintendo.

it's always darkest before the dawn.

Iwata scheduled dawn for 2016/2017 when his non-wearable dongle takes off.

 

[gogosox8]

Damn. I kinda feel bad for Nintendo. I definately feel bad for their fans who bought this. This is a really shitty situation.

 

[SmokedMeat]

sorry but its only going to get worse.

Yeah, their console business is in the shitter. They can't compete with Microsoft and Sony because the mindshare is that Nintendo can't deliver like they do. And it's true.

There's no magical comebacks.

 

[XBOX HIVES]

Nintendo getting what it deserves. Desert your core fanbase to chase a bigger market and then try to act like they care about them again? Fuck off

 

[BY2K]

After this, I wouldn't be surprised if the Watch_Dogs Wii U cancelled rumor was true.

 

[soxinthebox]

Its only going to keep getting worse. Remember, we have a whole generation of kids who just grew up not giving a single shit about Nintendo or their legacy.

This is the dangerous game that Iwata chose to play. Hell, he's doubling-down on it as we speak.

Joke post? Didn't they sell millions of New Super Mario Bros Wii and Mario Kart last gen?

 

[18-Volt]

So it's true then. Nintendo is killing the Wii U early and they will reveal the next gen consoles this E3. Or later, but within this year.
