    Wii U

    No game publisher sells digital versions for cheaper really - they don't want to piss off brick and mortar retailers. You can move your digital content/account pretty easily if you have both Wii U's (old and new) as there is a transfer process built in. If it breaks (unlikely for Nintendo...

    I'm up to chapter 9 and only gotten like 5 Storage probes and I've done a ton of quests and treasure hunting. Where do I get more?

    MTG thread

    SCG streams just got worse - Patrick Sullivan is going to work full time for Activision (he was a contractor for the last year or so), he's been working on their upcoming Skylanders card game I believe. He said he will still do some coverage in 2016. Add to that Cedric is being promoted so he...

    Pretty sure it works that way in MTG too - even a spell that is countered still counts as being cast.

    The Xenoblade Chronicles Appreciation/Anticipation thread! 3DS/Wi U - YES

    Which is cool when you realize all the economy and passive mining shit is leading up to when you get your own Skell mech just how much it costs to maintain. All the systems really build up to that and it makes sense you don't get your Skell right off the bat because of it.

    25ish hours in, hard to put the game down but got to work tomorrow. The font is a bit small but I don't see how they fix it - the NoA localizer's can't make changes to the UI design so it's probably as big as it can be and still fit all the text where it needs to be. Not sure what audio issue...

    Wii U

    Nah there's two parts to the new system - the rewards part and the new account part. Only the new reward system is being rolled out at the moment but I guarantee the NX account system they are working on will be similar to Sony/MS ones.

    They are rolling out a new account system right now. Big announcement on Monday too, might be it launching in America. Some sort of Nintendo announcement coming on Monday - Nintendo Everything

    Probably because most the reviewers sunk 50 hours or more into it before making their reviews.

    Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom (Level 5/Ghibli RPG)

    Well Ghibli did the cutscenes and art for both so yeah.

    Try replacing the battery first? They are not that expensive. Think there are some 3rd party ones too.

    Wii U

    Witcher 3 had the same problem (font being hard as hell to read on an HDTV while 6+ feet away) - hopefully they patch it like CDPR did. Why didn't reviewers catch it in Xenoblade or Witcher 3? Probably because they power through games on 22-23 inch screens where it probably looks fine.

    NBA 2015-2016 Season thread

    Dirk did it without another All-Star team mate and went through Kobe and Phil, KD/Westbrook/Harden, and LeBron/Wade/Bosh. Just sayin'. He did have Carlisle though.

    Is there no option to increase font size? I was looking at the options screen and it has a ton of customization for the UI.

    Wii U

    DeNA is working on a new account system for Nintendo - parts of it are already starting to roll out. If the next console switches to x86 from PowerPC there may not be backwards comparability either. Also, Xenoblade Chronicles X releases tomorrow - it's sitting at 85 on Metacritic.

    Preordering became a thing because limited stock for retail orders near you was a real fear before digital purchases. That really isn't the case anymore. Why not just wait until you know the most information you can about a game before purchasing? I'm sure people who preordered Watch Dogs...

    Overwatch

    The game isn't launching for 6-7 months. Stop complaining about content in a beta that's 2 weeks old. Even if it has a price for a physical version doesn't preclude it from being F2P either - it's just a way to have retail presence. Heroes of the Storm had a physical version too where you...

    Wii U

    Yeah the Gamepad is awesome, mostly for Off-TV play (I do a ton of multitasking by watching sports on TV and playing games on the pad). I'm sure the NX will support it but it won't be the main controller - they should just make the Pro controller the new default. I also don't see how a game...

    Wii U

    Because the majority of Nintendo's revenue come from their hardware. They also make 100% of the profit off their software because they release it to their own hardware. Like koljec said, they are very much like Apple. Their hardware is built with their software in mind (not the other way around...

    Wii U

    The NX won't be coming out until late 2016 at best, more likely sometime in 2017. That puts the Wii U lifespan at 5 years, which is pretty much the average life of a Nintendo console. The last generation for all 3 console makers was much longer than they wanted. The dev kits are just now...

    Looks more like Destiny's Crucible (including OP superpowers on charge timers) than Team Fortress to me. Which isn't a bad thing. Wish it was more MOBA with item builds and such though.

    MLB 2015 Season

    He was garbage before the All-Star break before their hitting coach basically told him he's been terrible for like 2 years straight, then he turned it around after. Even at his lowest he wasn't making those kind of errors though.

    Elvis and Mitch are really good defensive players though - either the fans just got to them or the long delays, I dunno. Elvis makes those plays 99% of the time.

    MLB 2015 Season

    Weird way to lose, but Rangers have to see the season as a success. Next year their top of rotation will be Darvish/Hamels. A lot of their young guys got a lot of playing time (Gallo, Odor, DeShields, Chi Chi) and they still have studs Mazara and Brinson knocking on the door. Most of their...

    Star Wars: Battlefront, as told by Dice on Frostbite 3 (PS4?/XBone?/PC?)

    Feels like BF1 or 2 as far as mechanics - very dumbed down. Probably will still sell though.
