@SethNintendo Yeah, I agree with you there.

This game would most certainly benefit from online modes, especially on the Wii U since their internet is free. It is really strange why they would decide to not include it when other versions of this game have online co-op without any problems. I can't say I'll be picking up this version due to this oversight.

I wonder when North America will be getting the first demo. This is the sort of game that I definitely need to try out before I even consider buying it.

Wow. I wonder how well those percentages actually translate into numbers.

As long as the sequel is made for the Nintendo 3DS, I'm all for it. I never did play the original though since I only play a select few strategy rpgs.

@Dpishere True that.

This game is starting to look more interesting as tidbits of info keep being released. I just want to see the game in action!

This game could be interesting. I've never heard of this show since I don't follow anime much anymore. Regardless, the Wii U could always use more games.

I'll believe it when I see it. Anything is possible I guess.

Nothing for me this week. Next week will be pretty interesting with the release of Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages.

Perhaps someday Fire Emblem will receive the wide spread success it deserves, and I'm talking about selling in the millions. I still haven't played Fire Emblem Awakening though.

I'm not really interested in a new Killer Instinct or Perfect Dark game. The only games that would help me lean towards getting the Xbox One would be a true sequel to Banjo Kazooie or a new Jet Force Gemini. I did think that Nuts & Bolts was pretty fun though.

This is going to be a very interesting E3 for me this year. I am being very open minded as to which two consoles I'll be purchasing for this new generation of gaming. One of my future consoles will certainly be a Wii U but the other one is a big question mark as of right now. I hope E3 will answer all of the unanswered questions that I have about the Xbox One and the PS4 so I can finally put this decision to rest.

Unfortunately this doesn't affect me since I would prefer to get the deluxe Wii U if I bought one at all.

This games seems pretty interesting to me and an expansion pack is always welcome, especially if it comes to the west.

I'm still not certain which two systems I will end up buying for the new generation of games, and unfortunately Microsoft's reveal of the new Xbox One didn't change that stance. I'm sure that E3 will finally determine which ones I will buy once and for all though.

Regardless, it is seeming very likely that I will buy a Wii U first since that system is set up very well later this year. I'm just glad I decided to hold off on getting a Wii U until more games started being released. It is certainly going to pay off once I finally buy one!

I'll probably just end up buying the Nintendo 3DS version since it is pretty cheap right now and I happen to like the 3D effect quite a bit. I also expected most of the issues mentioned in the review so they weren't a surprise to me.

This is one Harvest Moon game that I want to try for myself. It looks like it has pretty deep gameplay mechanics and customizable options to add to an already polished game. I'll definitely consider picking this up in the future, but not before Animal Crossing New Leaf.

Well, count me as interested. I've heard good things about Gunman Clive so this new game he is making could be cool.

This game is looking even better than I expected it to. I thought Conviction was fantastic so I am eager to play as Sam Fisher once again, and from what I have seen so far, the Wii U version is easily going to be the best version of this game to get.

I was going to get the PC version if this game didn't reach its kickstarter goal, but it seems that I might just have to wait for its release on the Wii U instead. I'd much rather play it on a home console over my PC anyday.

I'm glad he is still willing to release A.N.N.E on the Wii U regardless of the fact that it didn't reach its goal. This will probably be one of the few retro inspired games that I actually genuinely want to play. I just hope that it turns out to be worth the wait.

This is really good news. I have always liked Kevin Conroy's interpretation of Batman.

I'll definitely be trying the Project X Zone demo at the very least.

I was hoping that this game would of been 8-10 hours long. I guess I'll just pick up Oracle of Seasons instead since that game looks fantastic. It's a shame really, because I am really interested in these types of games. I just don't want the game to end before I've even started to enjoy it. Until this game receives a discount, I'll consider it a pass for me. Good review though.

I haven't heard much hype about this game so I am not sure how excited I should be if it came to the Wii U.

I feel that the recent Nintendo Direct was pretty good overall. I was surprised that they had Wii U exclusive Sonic titles in development with one currently unannounced. I also felt that bringing E3 demos to BestBuy was a great move by Nintendo since E3 has been more for the press than anyone else recently. This could give the Wii U and its future games the wide spread attention it needs. For the next Nintendo Direct, I hope Nintendo blows minds with announcements of games so I can be further convinced to buy a Wii U.

I never had the chance to play this game when it was officially released years ago. I'm glad they decided to release it on the eshop so I can try it out for myself.

I wouldn't mind if Nintendo and Sega collaborated for the next entry in Mario Kart. It sounds like a pretty cool idea and could also turn out to be quite refreshing for Mario Kart. After all, Sega seems to keep getting better at making racing games themselves so it seems like a natural fit. I doubt it will be a serious collaboration though, but perhaps I'll be surprised.

I'm definitely much more willing to get a Wii U since Ubisoft is supporting the system. They make some of my favorite games and I will end up buying at least 4 of their titles that are coming out this year.

I have this game for my Nintendo 64 still, but it didn't get too much use since I liked Mario Kart much more. Even so, I have quite a few good memories of playing this game as a kid. Perhaps I will try it out once more someday.

I wouldn't really mind either way if any cross-over characters were implemented into the next Mario Kart. I'd probably still use the Nintendo characters most of the time regardless.

I will admit that it would be pretty cool to have the option of playing this game on the gamepad.

I am in awe of how graphically impressive Pikmin 3 is, from the ripples in the water, to the fine details in the atmosphere and realistic shadows. This looks like a game you could have fun with just by looking at it. I would rather play it of course!

The Wii U may not have the system power of the PS4 or the next Xbox, but they are certainly taking advantage of the technology they do have at their disposal as much as possible. The best part is that the Wii U is still a young system and hasn't had its full potential realized yet.

Well, I wouldn't expect anything less of the E3 Nintendo Direct. I am eager to see the new 3D Mario game in action in hopes of it being something entirely new and fresh. Nintendo hasn't failed me yet so I have high hopes.

As for MarioKart, I hope it receives some fresh ideas to keep it from being too similar to the other entries in the series. I'm hoping they will come up with some good ideas especially in the battle mode department.

Super Smash Bros Brawl is easily my favorite of the series even with the continuous tripping that happens far too often. If they removed that feature and kept everything else, I would be a pretty happy camper.

Overall, this is going to be quite an interesting E3 for both Nintendo, and the gamers. I'm ready to see which major company impresses me the most.

This is a pretty interesting idea from Nintendo. If only one of the Best Buy stores near me would participate in the event! I might never get the opportunity to go to E3 anytime soon, but this is easily a great alternative. Kudos to Nintendo!

It is going to be really hard for me to resist buying Oracle of Seasons since it will have a discount. I might just have to splurge for this one occasion.

Those are some pretty interesting choices from the game gear selection. At first glance I thought that it was the Sonic the Hedgehog from the Sega Genesis that was finally coming to the eshop. I would prefer to have Japan's 3D Classics version though.

I've never even played one of the entries in this series. It looks interesting at least.

Now all I have to do is wait to see if this game turns out to be worth the wait.

Super Metroid is the type of game where you are supposed to actually have to think to progress in the game. I think that is part of the charm this series has and I hope that they don't change that for future games.

I really dig the direction of the art style they are going with. It looks quite a bit more diverse and detailed than Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. I guess we might get to play this game a year after its release in Japan.

I will say that the retail box of this game looks pretty snazzy.

I for one am pretty surprised that this game turned out to be exclusive but this has obviously happened before with Sonic Colors. I fully expected it to come to other consoles as well. I hope this game turns out least as good as Sonic Colors did. I just wish I could of seen even a small snippet of game play footage of the game. I'd like to know what features this new entry in the Sonic franchise will bring to the table.

@Dpishere I feel the same way about the Wii U. If third party support for the system diminishes I will have no choice but to buy a PS4 alongside a Wii U so I can have the Nintendo exclusives and the third party support I also crave. I guess that wouldn't be that bad. At the very least I would have a clear conscience about not missing out on any potentially awesome games for either system.

I could deal with the frame rate dips from time to time. I just don't feel the need to purchase this game again for traditional controls since the motion controls worked perfectly (for me at least) and the inclusion of 8 or so new levels. Even so, for anyone who hasn't already picked this game up, you are in for a treat. Easily one of my favorite Donkey Kong games to date! I'm happy to see that the Nintendo 3DS received a great remake of this amazing game.

I really like reading interviews on this website. Keep them coming!

I'm eager to hear more about the upcoming Wii U and 3DS titles coming this summer! Perhaps there might be a surprise or two as well! I love Nintendo Directs!

I wonder what type of Sonic game this will end up being. It sounds pretty similar to certain parts of Sonic Adventure. I'm just not sure if they would make another one of that series again.

There are some pretty good options this week. I'm curious about The Starship Damrey personally.
