The possibilities for the gamepad functions are plentiful, and I'm quite hyped for GTA V, so having on Wii U would be amazing. Make it happen, Rockstar...

Samus needs more votes...

I'd love to see a Samus one...

Wow, I actually won... too bad I'm a few states away from California. Oh, well...

My body is ready for Wii U because gaming is what I Nintendo.

(I'd like an adult pass if I'm selected.)

I played this again to 100% about a year ago, and it's just as fun as I remembered it. The camera took some getting used to again, but once you have it down, you're all set. The FLUDD-less levels are the best levels in the game and the atmosphere of Isle Delfino is amazing. This is easily my favorite Mario game of all time, 2D or 3D.

Though finding all the blue coins was a bit tedious, every time I did find one, I felt a sense of satisfaction, especially since most of the final ones are hidden in very obscure places that you have to think outside the box to find.

Damn, after reading this article, I'm feeling like starting up a new file...

@Korbin64: My comment always said Waluigi, so obviously you misread. Don't worry, it happens...

@Philip_J_Reed: Hear! Hear!

Green is better than red; tall is better than short; Luigi is better than Mario.

I wouldn't classify Luigi as "suffering," though. Sure, he might not be as famous as his shorter brother, but he still has his own game series. If you really want suffering, then Waluigi fits the description to a tee. Give us a Waluigi platforming series, Nintendo!

Very nice, much better than the last one...

Good for you, James, and good luck with your new endeavor...

Kelly Johnson is hot...

Yeah, that's the only positive thing about this video. Now if it had been anything like Fallout: Nuka Break, then it'd be worth watching...

Wait, I though the Pro controller got redesigned to not look like a re-skinned 360 controller. Like so...

Other than that, great write-up, Corbie...

And to answer the question: Wii U is most definitely for Mii...

That was awesome. It gets me even more pumped for Tuesday. The only thing I disliked was the Pro controller looking like the 360's controller. Not that I don't like the controller, but I would've preferred something a bit more unique. It's a minor gripe, though...

A Samus icon among the other game icons? Hint hint? Please let it be true! More Metroid, please, Nintendo!

Also, Iwata's English was damn good...

@MeowGravy: Rock on...

Iwata: "On the count of three, give me a 'Whoa, Bundy!'"
Everyone: "Whoooooa, Bundy!"

I did enjoy Super Mario Bros. 2 and I wouldn't mind a sequel, but I'd rather see Mario return to Isle Delfino or to Peach's castle first...

Come on Waluigi outfit...

Give us that rumored Emerald Green 3DS, Nintendo! Now that's a good-looking handheld...

Call me when that sweet (rumored) Luigi's Mansion Emerald Green 3DS shows up...

Apparently Rayman: Legends will need to come with a sticker of its own—"May cause constipation"...

My body shall be ready...

Good interview. I'll be downloading their work once it releases...

@iamthatoneguy: Glad to see that you did answer the question regarding why you picked the classic Varia Suit, as opposed to the much cooler (in my opinion) Dark Suit. Good answer, the classics do have a certain charm. Also, Samus at a gallery sounds amazing...

@KaiserGX: Hear, hear!

So even Kirby takes precedence over Metroid? Well, ****, thanks a lot, Nintendo...

Then again, after the negative—and undeserved—reception Other M got, I'm not expecting to see any new games in the series for a while (except for Samus' token appearance in the new Smash Bros. game, of course)... =|

I loved the original and the Wii spin-off, so I'll definitely pick this one up eventually...

Too awesome, but if he was going to go with a suit from Echoes, the Dark or Light suit would've looked more impressive. Great job on this, though (now add color =P)...

I'm all over this...

"...the experience of playing will always be more important than raw numbers."

Great philosophy; it's why I'll always buy Nintendo...

@Chrono_Cross: I bet Metroid on Wii U will be amazing...

Surprise, surprise, there's no Metroid version...

Sounds like it'd be fun. I'm nowhere near California, though...

@Objection: Probably because the event runs from 9PM to midnight and Nintendo wants to play it safe...

"...opens up their Kimono"? That expression struck me as odd, but good to know that developers are stoked about the Wii U...

BitTroid, you say? Yes, please...

Finding Samus or her ship in one of galaxies would've been a nice touch...

Cute...

Great review, James. This one's definitely on my list...

He does not look amused, all right...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: achievements are pointless...

@warioswoods: All I know is my gut says maybe...

How very neutral of him...

http://youtu.be/CxK_nA2iVXw

Great review, Corbie. I started playing this about a year back, but I lost my save and didn't feel like continuing. I'll definitely add it to my list for when I buy a 3DS...

Also, now it's Waluigi's turn to shine. Give him his own platforming game, Nintendo! It worked for Wario, so why not take a chance on his lanky brother? Do it...

In Soviet Russia, princesses kidnap you!

@irken: I'm also wondering about that. Hopefully they don't, so I can take advantage of this...

Is that what the box art looks like? Niiice. Hope it comes to the US...

Samus will always be my pick...

That's a damn shame. Does this game use the FUNimation dub? Also, like BulbasaurusRex already asked, how's Brook's voice?

"The participants at Tekken were all over eighteen, it was a group of big, brawny guys. Some of them were almost in their forties. I was like, "It'd be faster if you just fought in real life!" (laughs)"

Ha! XD

I would definitely wear a pair of those black ones...
