I'm looking forward to Disney Infinity -something the wife and kids and I will all enjoy playing. Best thing about it is that each thing you buy adds way more to the game than in Skylanders, and has better characters too.
Many Wii owners bought a second console (me included, I got a 360 - this time round I'll probably get a PS4 in a year or two), as the Wii missed out on many more ports, but I think 100 million console sales is a pretty good "disaster" to have. For those who want a second console, they don't need to get them early in the console's life, in fact it's good to wait until you know which console has the exclusives you want and wait until the console and the games are at a decent price.
If he could only get a job writing tech articles for Time magazine, that'd be like me being an Australian sports and political journalist for Nintendo Life - no one would read the dribble I would write.
Considering DKCR was better than any Metroid game in the last many a year, I'd rather Retro do more DK and Nintendo hand Metroid off to Platinum or another department, as someone previously suggested.
I'll probably get both. I haven't got Wii Fit + yet, so I might get that cheap, and wait until Wii Fit U is cheap to get that. Wii Party U I wasn't going to, until I saw the awesome E3 footage.
If it was handheld, the 3DS would be at 90% due to only having the low selling Vita for competition. In the UK, the top few games and a lot of the top 20 are 3DS games,
Nintendo won't go for pay to win, or pay to have fun. If there is any cash elements, it would he pay to customise, or pay to unlock a bit quicker. An FZero game would be good, starting with one racer and craft, gradually unlocking more unless you pay to unlock your favourite now.
Great points. Obviously after the disaster of Mario is Missing, Nintendo also will never license out their IP to a third party to put stuff on other platforms.
@Einherjar WiiU hasn't replaced the Wii yet - EA will sell more to Ninty consumers this way, with less outlay on the port as well. What would be good would be a Wii U update for it, similar to the Wii U VC update you can buy for $1 or so for VC games on the Wii.
@CasuallyDressed Ah, I think I need another coffee - or better yet, another brain. Unless accelerate and steer can be seamlessly combined on the same stick (forward and left, forward and right shouldn't be too hard to get used to).
Some people need to chill on social media, especially professionals. There's no rule that says you have to read everything on it, and as they say, "a simple 'no' would have sufficed."
@RevolverLink Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64 did a massive job in selling the N64, with them being pretty much the only must play 4 player multiplayer games in the entire market.
@ungibbed my opinion Lego City Undercover is greater than at least the last 3 GTAs. The only real innovation since number 3 is adding insane amounts of swearing for the 13 year olds and reducing the amount of story.
I'll get it for Wii U, but I think the 3DS version will sell very well indeed, and along with 3DS Lego City convince people to buy a Wii U to play the proper version.
He might have a point - New Super Mario Bros U ported to new Xbox and PS could generate some new fans who will have to buy a Wii U for all the great Mario exclusives.

Australia has it - no idea if we get the same as Europe for 3DS. Update for Mii Plaza takes longer than the system update.
