I want to get into Bugs vs. Tanks since it's from Inafune but the vids I've seen make it look so terrible.

New Super Luigi U will be the first Mario themed platformer I don't buy as I never completed NSMBU proper.

I'm down for Defenders of Oasis though as I loved Beyond Oasis on Genesis.

I was originally disappointed that there was a Wind Waker HD port, until I remembered that being my favorite game in the series since it went 3D. I'm gonna have to double dip.

@Rafie
Sony's conference was definitely the most fun to watch IMO. Nintendo Direct annonced great games but everything was low key even by ND standard.

Oh well, we will likely see another ND in the next month or so.

I liked what I saw/played of Super Mario. I was wondering how Nintendo was going to top the SMG titles, only to find them going a completely different direction. THAT'S the Nintendo I know and love, the one that betrays expectations.

Just to be fair, I found Sony's over enthusiastic applause both funny and relevant.

@electroplankton
I wonder if not having Mario Kart 8 this year will hurt them. Also Mario 3D is TOO close to Christmas.

@goombslayer
Yeah you got me there. It tends to be Ubisoft tradition to take advantage of every platform they can at launch. Typically in innovative ways.

What happens post launch window though no one knows.

Looking at it from a glass half empty point of view, Ubisoft hasn't exactly been 3DS biggest supporter either.

@money
Hopefully quality over quantity. When Wii hit a solid installed base it managed to get some great stuff, if you shuffled through the crap that is.

Not only is UbiSoft awesome, I feel they beat Nintendo to the punch with the Big N's biggest innovations. Red Steel 2 took away some of Skyward Sword's motion controlled thunder.

They're on to something big with ZombiU as well.

@Nintendolife
Who has said officially that Crew is not coming to Wii U? Because it wasn't listed? That is definitely a confirmation. coughcallofdutyghostcough

These are quality titles people. If your a fan of any of those genres be sure to buy one. They will even have DLC so corners are not likely to be cut.

Put your money where your mouth is and preorder.

I've loved Ubi and Nintendo's relationship so far. They even published games like Rocket and No More Heroes when no one else would.

They even released Tom Clancy games on GameCube when maybe the shouldn't have based on sales

Gamers unite!

I don't think too many will buy Xbone. Hopefully the Wii U can hold it's own 3rd party wise against PS4.

This (I hope) is just a minor setback. They supported Wii for years and gave us two of they're best games, Red Steel 2 and ZombiU. Yet at the same time they lost money when Wii U launched.

Yeah, I agree about Rayman. If it was a day one launch it probably would be amazingly close to NSMBU.

Disappointed yet not surprised. It's an "ultimate edition" so of course it'd come to other platforms.

The biggest surprise is that it's coming to Wii U in the first place.

1st Sonic and now this? I'm in platform heaven!

Well he sure has a lot of enthusiasm in the Developer Direct. Sounds almost like a passion project instead of the typical "give the people what they want mentality.

I figured everyone to be disappointed in this announcement. Thanks for proving me wrong guys.

I like most comments are positive in this section. Now THIS is why I joined Nintendo Life.

Keeping expectations in check. Everyone should remember that even if this show tanks, Nintendo still has plenty of software coming.

This is the first Kickstarter game I've seen that has a look of "shovelware" about it.

It makes sense as those games are likely furthest along. I know it's not Nintendo, but I would've loved Sonic Lost World.

@kdawg
Looks like they're using the red ring stuff and special stages to pad out the length.

@Varia01
This!

@shiryu
Treyarch is likely to handle the Wii U port. That is if one truly does exsist.

@rjer
Why not lists all the Mario games coming to 3DS as well. I mean, WOW!

How about Destiny actually release on Wii U? Am I the only one who'd like that?

Aren't Wii U and PS3 Sega's most important platforms? I don't see how Mickey wouldn't make it to eshop.

This really looks Unity based. Interesting no Wii U version.

I'm evil now, you can tell by my now red eyes, blue skin, and veins poping out all over my body.

Another thing, video game stories tend to be black and white most of the time, right down to having a morality system making it simple to go from good to evil. I mean, really, when does that ever happen?

The problem is good storytelling is rare in video games anyway. By the end of the day most games that try to tell stories fall flat. I've always found stories in games to be funny even if unintentional.

Developers do very little by way of subtlety when it comes to writing. MGS series could have great stories if they didn't feel the need to lay it on so thick.

When it comes to stories sometimes less is more. I tend to like the stories in games like Silent Hill: Silent Memories, the bittersweetness of Link's Awakening, subtle story in SMG with Rosalina's sidestory and the ending.

I'm sure there others but for the most part too much story gets annoying, even Xenoblade, one of my favorite games.

How is the 3DS going to handle visuals like that. It will have to be toned down significantly.

It's nice that 3D isn't required considering the amount of people who can't see 3D. Still was hoping for perception based puzzles though.

@superconsole
Thanks for getting back to me. I saw an early video where it looked as if you could create your own exibits on the second floor of the museum. Is this true? If so, what kind of exibits can you create and are there any limits?

I hope this multiplayer thing isn't indicative of future VC releases.

Can you still create constellations? Will they show up in friends towns this time? (that happened in Wild World but didn't in City Folk).

@superconsole
I heard you can't send letters to other towns. How true is this, and if so, why do you think that Nintendo axed the feature? Can you bring fruit to your town in the dream world? Is Wendell always in the Dream Towns or only on certain days? Can you still buy a timer to form your own games?

"Visually Animal Crossing has always been a treat to look at" You lost me there.

Isn't there a much bigger base since the last PES? This sounds too reactive an excuse.

Finally someone tells it like it is. It didn't sell. It's ashame though, considering how well the PES series did on Wii for awhile.

@rjer
Checkout my theory above.

I have a theory as to why Wii U doesn't get DLC like the other consoles. It's the poor infrastructure of the eshop. Read the the Zen Pinball 2 review to know exactly what I'm talking about.

Things may change for the better once the NSMBU update arrives. The one where you'll be able to download content from the game itself.

Publishers probably feel like not enough people will download content in Wii U's current state. Once Nintendo releases the update. Other developers might follow suit.

How much will it cost?

@TG1
IDK about that. The 3DS version was so terrible that they probably decided just to go for the high-end platforms.

Oh, just the Vita version. I misread this as a cross-play game for PS3. If it's not, then who the heck wants to play the Murphy levels in what's likely a single player experience. If it does have cross-play then I can see people being more than a little miffed at Ubisoft.

@ryno
After the the shock wore off I'm inclined to agree with you. With such unique new interface options for each platform, especially next-gen, it'd be nice if all system had something unique to their respective systems.

nvm
