Shame that NA isn't getting the Streetpass Mii Plaza stuff yet. It sounds quite interesting.

Hmm, not too much to get that's actually good except New Super Luigi U.

@gavn64 You don't half make it hard? What?!

@ricklongo Yeah to be honest, LEGO games usually aren't too good on mobile devices, like the DS. They're always much better on actual home consoles.

They did a fantastic job on Dark Moon; really looking forward to seeing what they'll produce next.

What I think would be really cool sometime is a full out game where Sonic and Tails team up with Mario and Luigi to take down Eggman and Bowser, who have taken over the Mushroom Kingdom.

Looks like another great Renegade Kid game. I'll pick this up for sure once it's out.

Looks like us Nintendo fans finally have something to thank Microsoft for.

I'd like to know where he gets this suppose "5%" from.

I'm looking forward to this. I'm hoping they announce a 3DS Nintendo Direct as well, and possibly even show off the 3DS Super Smash Bros.

@6ch6ris6 This isn't from PETA.

Great to see another game heading to the Wii U!

I'll be picking this up for sure once it's been released. I'm also look forward to the Pirate's Curse as well.

Nintendo just needs to buy SEGA already.

@Azikira You do realize there was a full segment of the second most recent Nintendo Direct devoted to the new winged Pikmin right?

I probably won't pick this up, but good to see a Kickstarter game meet its stretch goals and on its way to the 3DS and Wii U!

It'd be pretty strange if you needed an internet connection to play single player mode...

I really hope they end up bringing it to the 3DS. My brother gifted the game to me a few months ago, and it's quite fun. It'd be really great having a portable version of it on a Nintendo console.

Heh heh. Great to see the puns are back in this installment. I look forward to getting my hands on the game June 9 and experiencing all these glorious puns firsthand.

Yeah, I'll be getting this retail for sure.

I don't have a Wii U yet, so I really hope the 3DS version lets you create a Nintendo Network account.

It does seem a tad strange at first, but I think this choice will pay off in the end. I'm looking forward to seeing how Iwata does as NoA President.

It's a shame this didn't live up to the game it should have been.

Would be interesting if they went forward with this idea.

Is this an April Fools prank...?

Someone needs to start a fan movement to resurrect the Banjo series. I'm sure it get tons of supporters once the word was spread. Anyone want to do it?

@ThreadShadow The series is called the "Mario" series, and the games always have "Mario" in the title. They're also called the "Mario Bros.," rather than the "Luigi Bros.," obviously meaning that most people think Mario is the greater of the two brothers.

@Wilford111 So did I. Sure, you can tell he's probably a little bit jealous of Mario, but I don't see Luigi as the type to just start moping around when he's not a main character.

Tried the demo and loved it, so I plan picking this up at a later date. For now, I plan on saving the cash I have in the eShop for Animal Crossing: New Leaf when it is released.

@Trainer_DJ I agree. Nintendo should make some sort of Luigi game where King Boo kidnaps Daisy and plans to takeover Sarasaland, forcing Luigi to venture through Sarasaland and have a showdown with King Boo in a giant haunted mansion at the end of the game.

Glad to hear they're not going to be adding in a bunch of other stuff.

That's a shame. It is good to hear however that the original voice actors are returning.

Now all we need is a reboot of DuckTales on television.

When I first read this, I thought for sure it was an early April Fools joke. I am so glad I was wrong.

It seems all the characters that we were reminded of in the Epic Mickey games will once again slip back into Wasteland, forgotten once again.

Good to hear! Nintendo's customer support has always been very helpful and informative. I once needed customer support from Apple... that didn't go well. The guy who was originally talking to me pretty much had no idea what my problem was. I was asking about the GameCenter app (one of Apple's OFFICIAL apps that is on every iOS device) and the guy didn't even know it was an Apple app; he thought it was something you bought on the App Store.

@UnseatingKDawg I agree. If Disney pulls Marvel and Star Wars into the game later on, and you've got memorable characters from all three, Disney Infinity will have no problem beating Activision.

I'm really hoping that Disney Infinity beats out Skylanders. I have despised Activision for some time now, so I'm hoping Disney can beat them in the toy-to-game market.

I actually wouldn't mind getting that Diddy Kong one. I loved the barrel of monkeys when I was younger, so Nintendo ones would actually be kind of cool. Besides that though, none of these toys interest me.

@FonistofCruxis Perhaps it's a tease at a possible future Donkey Kong game on the WiiU? That'd be interesting.

So glad to finally get a US trailer and title. This will be a Day 1 purchase for me. Now we just need a release date. At least we know it's coming early 2013, my guess is around March or so.

We'd better get some sort of Animal Crossing info...

Hmm, great review. I wasn't planning on buying it, but after seeing some gameplay and reading the review, I think I'll end up purchasing it at some point. It looks to be a fun game.

He's actually a Sony agent in disguise, hired to sabotage 3DS sales this year by convincing everyone the Gameboy Micro is more recent and that they should purchase that instead.

I'd rather it be 1080p, but I don't mind if it ends up being 720p.

I think I'll purchase a 16 GB card later this year in preparation. I have room on my current card, which is only 2 GB, but I wont have that much after I get Animal Crossing, and I'd like enough room for Crashmo and other games I've been meaning to get.

I knew Animal Crossing would be a lot, but this has no play into wether or not I'll get it. I still plan on downloading it rather than getting a physical copy. I have more than enough room on my 3DS for it.

How dare those men not have Pikmin in their top 10!

Thanks for the confirmation. Maybe this will help make some of the debates about this topic die down. I never thought their last names were Mario, so glad to see we got confirmation.

Personally, I thought this was a great hype-up for the WiiU. Before this event, I was just like "Yeah, WiiU looks cool, might get one." But now after seeing all the footage from this event, "Ok I've got to buy a WiiU."
