I'm not sure why people feel like there HAS to be something for the Wii U Gamepad to display. The Donkey Kong Country games are hard enough without having an extra feature to pay attention it. I don't think ALL Wii U games should just only have off-tv mode. Not at all however not every game needs to make unneeded use for it.

If you don't have anything that will fit well with the game and seems more shoehorned in than being needed...at least do off-tv play if you can. If more features can be done then do it and do it well.

You know..."some" of you need to remember to not look a gift horse in the mouth. Yes I would love to play GBA games on my 3DS, but on the bright side I also own a Wii U so I'm set. I have more than enough games to play when balancing out my Wii U and 3DS library.

I'll be picking up Fusion and Superstar Saga when those come out myself. I don't plan on picking up too many, but I WILL still buy GBA games I missed out on and want to experience.

I find it interesting to see some people claiming this automatically means the Wii U version is cancelled. I'm not game developer or anything, but with how much money they had to have sank into making this game for Wii U as well and as far as it likely is along in development I would think, logically to me anyway, that they would LOSE money by cancelling it at this point. Disappointed by this news and won't help the Wii U version sell in the slightest, but I suppose so long as they don't try to use poor sales in comparison to the other consoles as a reason to pull most support from the system it won't be the end of the world.

Honestly? The only DQ game I have played, and also own, is DQ IX. I agree with this. I would buy it on e shop even though I own it on the DS...probably. I do thoroughly enjoy the game. Enough for me to want to go back in the series. To the ones that were released on the DS. Not sure how many were, but I know several were.

I would probably get Spirit Tracks too. The others I would need to check out first though..

At first, when it was revealed, I was neutral. I knew it was just some very simply things that we couldn't tell what it would turn into yet. I was iffy, but reserved my judgement. Nintendo did not disappoint. They have been building the hype for this. All they need now is for more Wii U's sold. I will be picking mine up Black Friday along with this game. Very pleased and the game will make it one of the first to play. WWHD, that I already own, will be close behind it.

@jpfan1989 Yes. Yes they are...and going to succeed too.

Watched it last night and it killed me. A few times I wanted to stop listening because after five minutes it was a bit much. Haha. There is a simple solution however. Just do a pokerap of the pokemon from Unova and Kalos. If you want you can throw Sinnoh in there too.

The problem is that they have barely tried. They can't possibly expect sales for games that were not only ports, of several month old games at that, and one where it was just a reskinned sports game from the year before. It was literally the same game.

That and I believe the ME Trilogy was released for the other systems about the time they ported ME3 to the Wii U. Which would most certainly harm its sales. Try EA. Not just that, but actually put out a new game that isn't an older game that everyone already has. Make full use of what the GamePad can do and make it an important game. Give people a reason to buy it over the other versions. Don't gimp it just because you can. If there is any DLC then the Wii U get it. If there is any special edition...the Wii U gets it. You do not take away any features either.

I would mention the names in more than passing, but others have done so. I noticed the pun immediately. Good heavens I love myself some puns. Thankfully Nintendo likes to provide them. A lot. The game is shaping up wonderfully. Though it is about at this point I start to tune out new info for it. I have learned all I feel I need to and a little bit more. So for now unless it doesn't spoil much I am going to be avoiding ALBW news for the next month and ten days. Wish me luck on that. Day one buy for me. Have it preordered from GameStop actually.

Of course it is sturdy. Nintendo would have made it out of reinforced Nintendium. Their patented material that makes systems and games, not disk based, hard to break. Unless on purpose.

That IS smaller than I expected. Though I bought a Pokemon X and Y 3DS. Red one. So I won't be getting this clearly. I am sure this will probably almost ensure that they make a ton of money this holiday season. Pokemon will help even more so.

Good luck in heaven, Mr. Yamauchi. You have done so much. Rest now...you deserve it. Condolences to your family. You lived to a ripe old age.
