I actually played only demo version of both the 3DS ooroginal and now the Wii U HD remaster. I was thoroughly impressed by 3DS version and came kinda disappointed by the remaster.

Why scanning doesn't utilize gyro controls? Why you can't play with Wii Remote Plus + Nunchuck combo? Why camera control feels so damn stiff and imprecise? Whe the textures are so washed out and ugly?

Rachel's awesome rack alone does not justify the asking price for me.
Maybe I'll finally pick up 3DS version, after all.

$250-$300, and November release would be optimal. I hope for Assassin's Creed III and Rayman Legends to be day one launch titles.

I imagine Circle Pads are better suited for such a wide and flat controller as the Wii U. You can hold it firmly in your hands instead of raising your thumbs all the time. Well, that's just a thought since I never touched the thing.

It's all cool but pretty much everybody is waiting for that 3DS Pokemon. It would push hardware sales probably better than any other franchise but still there are more than 150 million DS consoles out there, and like 10 times less 3DS units. Maybe they're waiting for a big reveal at E3 or something alongside 3DS redesign?

@Koto I envy your Mario GB Micro. I was even thinking about getting one of these lately but it's rather pricey these days.

I really like my aqua blue 3DS but always they announce new color or special edition, I just go like 'hey, this one is the best color evaaar'. Every single time, I'm just hopeless So far the Zelda edition was probably the one that I really loved, and I would like to see maybe a vintage, book-like, profesor Layton themed console.

That's pretty sad news.

Stylus aiming is a lot more accurate and I don't know why there were so few first person games on the original DS except the great Metroid Prime Hunters, Moon, Dementium and couple of others. Yeah, how about Dementium 3DS?

I'd say it's not gonna happen. Nobody will buy a Kinect anymore if there's new Microsoft console coming on the horizon. And it seems PS3 hasn't been pushed to its limits yet, and Sony still have PS Vita to brag about the whole E3 conference. I'm super curious about Wii U, the price, actual games (maybe reveal of a launch lineup), and since it's fully backwards compatible with Wii maybe it will offer something like upscaling resolution of Wii games? On Xbox 360 at least on some games you get additional antialiasing for original Xbox games, and Nintendo is always kicking butt with backwards compatibility.

Oh well, it's Kirby anyway so I have some fun with it. Ambassador games reminded me how awesome some GBA games were like Wario Land 4, Metroid and Minish Cap. I hope they will bring GBA titles to regular eShop. I'd kill to play Castlevania GBA trilogy on my 3DS.

I remember playing Myst for the amzing atmosphere and punishing difficulty of its puzzles. I loved both.

I recently got it off Steam... for free.

Great news! More 3DS customers mean attention from developers, and that means more awesome games. A win-win situation for everybody.

First time I beat it on emulator, and it was awesome. Now I am a happy owner of the game on my 3DS

So, jokes about GTA V being a Wii U launch title might turn out to be true ;]

Mighty Switch Force may be really great.

Oh man, and I just payed for it 33 only several days ago. It's awesome anyway so don't regret

Pokemon Gray 3DS, let's face it, everybody's expecting it.

Already grabbed it and it's quite a bit of fun. I hope it will get some really great fan-made levels.

Brilliant

Without a question one of the very best game designers of all time. It will be interesting to see how some of the biggest Nintendo franchises go on without him.

Well, I can always just get Tri for the Wii if the 3DS version doesn't come out in Europe. But MH 4 is a must have.

So Wii U has online connection, confirmed! Just kidding I'd say it's Ghost Recon Online but I'm not sure if they announced what studios are developing this one.

I'd like to keep him silent but I don't mind rest of the cast talking. Pretty much like in Oblivion or Skyrim where every character talks but not you.

Super awesome. A must buy.

Kid Icarus 3D? I'd pay for that.

Super Castlevania IV, couldn't pick a better choice. I wish it apears on 3DS VC one day.

Looks like one hot GOTY material.

Now you can have your own Master of Unlocking Mii

Yeah, how about including online MP with DLC at a later date, like in Lara Croft on XBLA. I don't believe you can't do DLC stuff on 3DS, right?

Raise your hand if you want TWEWY sequel on 3DS. I'm raising as high as I can

Tetris is a no brainer on 3DS. The ultimate puzzle game in 3D with some cool modes should provide some fun on the go. While it's no killer app, something like Tetris is inevitable on every device I guess.

Awesome, period.

That's a bold concept to execute on 3DS. Really nice animation. Seems like a more fast paced MH this time. Looking forward to it.

@SennaKurosaki Good point about the redesign, but they always could just make it vertical on the bottom screen only, in a way games like Hotel Dusk or Rythm Heaven were handled.

They will have to pack in a lot of cool content and super-sharp controls / visual presentation combo to justify the price compared to iOS release. If you own any iOS device, you will probably not need the DSi version or this uber cool game.

More games the better! I just want to play some really cool games from past systems that are no longer available or hard to get, and to have a wide choice. I recently bought Chrono Trigger from VC for 900 points. Really no big money for such a brilliant game. The original snes cartridge goes for 50$ to as high as 200$ on Amazon. That's insane.

My point is, I just want Nintendo to release as many games they can, don't care about manual etc.

Yeah, it's pretty hard, playing it a bit from time to time but I get frustrated all the time.

I've seen somewhere around the net (sorry, forgot the exact source) info about rumored games for both NES and GBA. NES list looked very much alike (if not the same) and as for GBA they named things like Metroid Zero Mission, Pokemon Emerald and everyone's favourite Minish Cap! I was counting a bit for FF 6 Advance but I guess the original sells too well on Wii VC.

As for games, hmm. Pokemon 3DS? Monster Hunter 3DS? Metroid 3DS - hello, it's 25th anniversary!

Big announcement: end of production of 3DS... just kidding
I think it will be 3DS related not Wii U. Next home console is all about 2012, now's the time to boost 3DS sales and help this handheld fighting PS Vita. I wish Nintendo the very best

Trailer sucks big time but the gameplay itself looks really good.

Avenging spirit, never heard of it but if it gets good review on Nintendolife I might get it.

Zelda Minish Cap
Castlevania Cirlce of the Moon/Aria of Sorrow/Harmony of Dissonance
Final Fantasy VI
Metroid Zero Mission

Might be fun, we'll see. Doesn't matter what you think about FF games you have to appreciate the music of these games. Interesting new addition to both FF and rythm genre.

Problem solved.

Sure I can play BD via my laptop but it'd be more convienent for me to have BD playback on a device that will be constantly connected to my display. Still, I copletely understand Nintendo and it won't affect my choice of buying Wii U.

@4 I looks like it's pretty tiny judging by the disc drive. And that's awesome.

@2 Yeah, but I guess it's because it's fully backwards compatible with Wii, and also it can use a combination of Wii U controller and Wiimotes for some multiplayer gaming. I don't think the Wii U controller itself will use sensor bar.

I wonder if there's a toslink out slot anywhere on the console? Maybe behind that cover on the front? This probably holds an SD card slot, but what else?
