@Diz93 @Diz93 @Varia01 Really glad to see guys stepping forward who appreciated how good Metroid:Other M was, my little disclaimer was because the game has a "marmite" reputation (peeps either loved it or hated it) and I wanted peeps to judge it on its visual merits not just their opinion of the game. I loved it though definitely one of my top Metroids. Couldn't play the Prime series due to simulator sickness which is one of the reasons I hope the next Metroid is 2.5D like M:OM. If Nintendo can get graphics anywhere near the CG cutscenes in that game we're in for a real treat.

Btw I know I'm gona get called on M:OM but say what you want about the game visually (considering the hardware) it was awesome.

"the Wii U is not the big leap hardware power-wise but it is a big leap to the Wii" THIS! A thousand times this! The Wii produced Skyward Sword, Galaxy 1& 2, DKCR & Metroid:Other M. Imagine the quality (visual and otherwise) that will be possible with the extra power of the WiiU we are in for some stunning games trust me!

W101 will really hurt Rayman sales, I'll still pick it up but with SLU in June, Pikmin 3 in July & W101 in August it may have to wait due to lack of funds and time. Ubi should have kept it at launch.

Watched the trailer and was quite impressed, don't let the Angry Birds comparison put u off (it's just referring to the sling-shot mechanic the game looks a lt deeper). I'll be watching closely to see how it develops. If its a well done iOS port like Kung Fu Rabbit The Game Bakers will deffo be getting my money

This is really cool, shows that despite all the negative feelings some peeps have towards them Nintendo is trying to do right by its customers. Nice to hear some good news! Despite DICE & EA this has been a pretty good week for WiiU.

1) Nintendo confirms a "WiiU Software Showcase" for E3.
2) Two more eShop titles announced
3) MH3U a "Smash hit!" (future MH looks good for WiiU/3DS on the back of this)

Let's not get bogged down with negative WiiU/Nintendo news, we still have a lot to be be happy for

Dream list: NES (Megaman 2,3), SNES (Megaman X 1,2,3), GBA (Megaman Zero 1,2,3 & Battle Netwok) , can you tell I love Megaman

Really liking the positivity in this article, nice to hear some dev's putting Nintendo first in their plans. You guys have my respect and (if both games end up as good as they look) my £££'s to

I might be alone in this but I quite liked the adverts, they are OBVIOUSLY not designed for the likes of you and me but suit the "family" market perfectly. We need to realise that Nintendo are a family friendly company so adverts like these are a necessity. Do you really think Mum and Dad would pick up a WiiU for the family home on the back of ZombiU/Monster Hunter/Ninja Gaiden? That being said, once the kids have gone to bed you know Dad will be busting out some Monster Hunter IMO that's what makes the WiiU the perfect home console.

Glad we got a Pikmin 3 release date (don't worry guys I'm sure an EU release won't be too soon after US), got 6 weeks off work in August so this is perfect for me. Plenty of titles to tide me over in the meantime. MH3U & eShop titles will keep me busy

Great article NL, I've been hyped for this game from the get go! If it comes to the WiiU I'll definitely be picking it up day one! The guys at Interrabang seem really passionate about this game & I'm sure it will be a top quality title. You guys have my support!

Checked out some IOS footage and app reviews seem positive. As we won't be getting Meat Boy anytime soon; this might end up being a decent cheap (€4.99) and cheerful alternative. I'm quite looking forward to it if I'm honest

Brilliant news! April is looking to be a great month for updates (MH3U, VC, OS speed update) & eShop titles (Toki Tori 2, Runner 2 EU, Kung Fu Rabbit, Rayman Challenge mode). Even the strongest WiiU hater would struggle to put a negative spin on this.

Hi Orla, I've been following this game for a while now so I thought I'd just give you a heads up that some things in this post are incorrect. Maestro Interactives date of a Spring release for SUL is incorrect the game will take much longer (releasing after PC versions). Also with Nintendo's recent HTML compatibility Notion Games may actually be able to port the game themselves. As someone who can't get enough of 2D platformers I cannot wait for this & Shovel Knight (both of which I backed) WiiU X indies, get hyped!
