Only game why I'd consider a Wii U buy, personally.

No Wii U for me anyways.

By this logic launching new consoles have actually no sense since they have no installed base?

By this logic all Wii U games should be on Wii! Certainly numbered sequels like Bayonetta 2, no wait that should be on PS3/Xbox since the original wasn't even on Wii.

Like mentioned money, lazyness and idk...

'enormous memory', apparently it's just 1,5GB with 0,5GB reserved for the OS.
So it isn't really that much, it's a rather small update from the 512MB for Xbox and PS3 (yes I know 256MB each for GPU and CPU), but maybe for Wii U's specs it's good.

Anyways I still hope Rayman Legends will be multiplatform, I'm don't have a lot of confidence in the Wii U and Rayman Legends is the only game that looks interesting/creative.

I do have confidence in Michel Ancel however Hope he'll also make a fully fledged 3D Rayman. (don't waste too much time with Jungle Run, and make Legends multiplatform, Origins sold the least on Wii!)

And they also plan to only release 1 or 2 3D Mario's, 1 Mario Kart, 1 Mario Sports, 1 Mario Tennis, 1 Paper Mario, 2 or 3 Mario Parties, 1 Mario Golf, 1 Mario Strikers, 1 Mario Baseball, 2 Mario & Luigi's, 1 Luigi's Mansion per console....

And they will also keep giving the Mario license for other spin-offs like Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Boom/Fortune Street etc....

It's probably just a bit more powerful in term of graphics processing. And that extra bit will mostly be used for GamePad streaming. Also developers aren't going to invest much more time to squeeze every bit out of the Wii U, so graphically, games aren't going to look better than on PS3.

For me it is disapppointing, I'm certainly not going to buy a Wii U, MS/Sony next-gens are already around the corner and Nintendo is once again coming with an outdated console. It looks like Nintendo is competing with the current Sony/MS consoles, but they have been there for 6 years and have of course already built up big catalog of games.

The GamePad concept is not revolutionizing. Having a second screen in your hands isn't going to offer groundbreaking features, it will mostly only be used for interface/inventory navigation etc. It has a big gimmick factor imo.

I also wasn't impressed by the Wii U games, only Rayman Legends interested me and ZombiU did show some good implementation of the Wii U.

It is all about power, Nintendo's old slogan existed for a reason. More power means more gameplay possibilities, allow development of better physics engine, AI and also graphics. Of course it's not all about power, but limiting a developer is never really smart. ("Now you're playing with power!" [Super power] )

But still, I'm sure Wii U will have some great games anyways.

Looks decent, but a downloadable eShop/PSN game would be a much better fit imo.

I think they should integrate the Club Nintendo account in the eShop.

Sorry but Nicalis and Renegade kid don't represent the whole bunch of developers.

There are still lots of things that needs to be upgraded/fixed.

This game is the only reason I'd consider buying a Wii U.

Still, I think it will be released on other platforms eventually. Nintendo never buys games exclusivity and Rayman Origins Wii sold less than the HD versions. I'd definitely buy it on PS3.

Seems logic.

I've never really found that 'GamePad' (why don't just call it Gamepad or gamepad?) really useful and revolutionary. I think it will mostly just be used as a HUD screen or for navigating through interfaces and shortcuts etc.

Nothing really exciting.

Yes Nintendo, you said gameplay above graphics (which is a bit obvious for a game, but graphics are important too anyways) <.<

Why has this been developed into a full 'game'?

This looks amazing. This look like the perfect game for me, I'd love a platforming game combined with puzzle elements and action.

I've heard very good things about this game, great gameplay, clever puzzles, great co-op and fantastic music. And the graphics are really breathtaking. To me, Trine looks like the very best of 2D games.

Nintendo should look at this, because New Super Mario Bros. U looks really uninspired...

Are you really going to spend about €300-400 for Wii U for just a few Nintendo games? To be honest, Wii never had an astonishing amount of great Nintendo games. I'd say like 15 (SMG, SMG2, DKCR, Xenoblade, Last Story, Zelda: SS; Zelda: TP, Metroid Prime 3, SSBB, NSMBW, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Mario Kart Wii and if you had that console since 2006 only for Nintendo games.

And so it begins, Wii U is going to be like Wii (concerning 3rd part support), if even a lot of current-gen games aren't coming to Wii, what does this mean when the next PlayStation/Xbox comes out? No 3rd party support at all, again because of the lack of power?

If Wii U is successful we might see some more ports that will have been available months ago on other platforms, but that's it....

And of course some narrow-minded Nintendo fans keep saying they aren't caring. >.<

I'm not saying you have to like every game, but writing this game off, just because it's not a nostalgic Castlevania game - when you haven't even played the game - is just plain narrow-minded stubbornity. And uhmmmm God of War isn't the only hack and slash......... Wouldn't there be a lot of clones if you couldn't have different games in a specific genre, and yes games in the same genre can look a bit similar...... Look at shooters, fighting games, action-adventure games.

Nintendo, now is the moment to acquire them!!

Wait those 3DS XL models are combinations of two colours?! Except for that White one?

I don't really care about all those colours I just one a plain black or white one. =/

Nintendo should just market their eShop and their 3DS better...

Lol, wtf.

C'mon what's to point of this being a retail game?

The eShop game was a bit lackluster, and now they add a few things and they're going to charge €35 extra for just an RPG mode???

This makes no sense at all..

It looks decent, but that's it.

The coin collecting thing isn't really creative, it sounds a bit uninspired. Also, collecting all those coins don't give you any feeling of accomplishment, or very little.

But there could be some unlock systems, you could unlock a bonus world or mini-games if you have collected a specific amount of coins. Or you could use those coins as paying method for buying the extra bonus levels or mini-games.

This game doesn't really bring something exciting, same style, same gameplay mechanics, but heavy focus on coin collecting is mehh.

Great news. I wonder what the game will be. ^ ^

It does look bland and uninspired. It's just NSMBW rehashed for Wii U. :/

Yes, Donkey Kong Country Returns still looks 5 times better than this.

With all the respect to the fans of the Castlevania series.

But, uhh it must be really annoying to be game developer that is developing a game in an existing franchise.

Some people complain about going away from it roots. Others complain about the series not evolving and always using the same formulaic structure....
Fans are really annoying sometimes, do you prefer one of your favourite franchise dying and not getting games at all?

I think this game looks rather interesting and fun.

This game looks amazing.

Nah, it just that Nintendo handled it in every wrong way this year... It really sucked.
Ubisoft and Sony had great press conferences and also new game revalations. (Watch Dogs for Ubisoft, Beyond: Two Souls for Sony)

Just a new Zelda on Wii U, please. =)

I think it's a bit regrettable that the player who has the gametablet, can't control another character than Murphy. But I heard that the things with the gametablet are just concepts and early in development, so I think it will turn out great.

And it's probably going to have a single-player mode, so even without the gametablet it will be awesome anyways.

Without a doubt, this is my most anticipated Wii U game.

@ CrispyGoomba

Ubisoft's launch line-up is like 10 times better than Nintendo's own.....

Anyways, just like Rayman Origins this game will be awesome. ^^

@ BXXL

Completely agree with you. I often wish Nintendo had much more first-party studios. Now there's only Retro Studios, Monolith Soft, EAD Tokyo and EAD Group 3 (Zelda team) And Intelligent Systems.
Other EAD studios mostly produce games aimed for a casual audience..

Between Nintendo, Microsoft, Ubisoft and Sony:

1. Ubisoft >>>> 2. Sony >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3. Nintendo >> 4. Microsoft

It was a complete fail.

About their press conference, the only good thing was the unveiling of Pikmin 3.
Some Ubisoft games on Wii U were interesting too (ZombiU, Rayman Legends, Assassin's Creed), but Nintendo Land, Wii Fit U, New Super Mario Bros. U, Sing, Just Dance 4 mehhh .... and some old 3rd party ports (while there were awesome current gen 3rd party game shown, it was nothing new and not exciting).

I just don't think Wii U will have a long life cycle... Like 3-4 years.

But maybe after Wii U, Nintendo will make an amazing successor that hasn't underpowered hardware combined with great first-party core games.

I really agree with the article at Eurogamer here. I see some people here do not care about the power as long as the games look have a rich art style and look attractive. While I'll understand that of course, limiting developers is never good.
The Wii U will again have hardware limitations, compared to Microsoft's and Sony's next-gen systems. If will again be hard for developers to port those games to Wii U. Wii U will have no 3rd party support... And at the transition of current gen and next-gen, developers won't invest extra time and money to take advantage of Wii U's little bit of extra power. Only some of Nintendo's studios like Retro Studios will take advantage of the bit of extra power, but it won't make a huge difference anyways.

The Nintendo games will look good, but not outstanding. Look at Pikmin 3. 720p no AA, not a game with heavy AI, no tesselation etc. and no breathtaking graphics, but it looks okay.

And btw Nintendo hasn't that many studios to keep releasing games month after month... And to make things worse, Nintendo will use a big part of their resources for casual games...

In its current state, I don't see a bright future for the Wii U, but still I'm sure there will some amazing games (the 3rd party current-gen games coming out for Wii U can already be worth it, if you never played those games before) and the tablet controller has potential. And I'm sure Retro Studios will deliver an amazing game.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Wii U is going to be a gamecube or dreamcast.

Can't believe almost nobody cares about big 3rd party titles not coming to Wii U...
Really the Nintendo games can't compensate all those titles, because they are way less frequent. I mean, how many really good Nintendo games where there on Wii? About 10? 10 for 6 years of gaming...

And I think most people prefer spending money on one console than on two consoles..
