SHIGGY! SHIGGY! SHIGGY! SHIGGY!

That may cut it for casuals, but I'm still a hardcore, and all of my Zelda "not at once" is an unnecessary tease. For those that love the more approachable, accessible Zelda, that's what the handheld Zeldas bring. I for one embrace the daunting and sheer size of the landscapes and dungeons, but that's just me. I say nah, keep things as is.

Now... coming up with an MMO in the world of Hyrule.............

It's funny, I've been on top of playing each 2D Castlevania as they came, and due to odd circumstances, I didn't have the chance to finish C:OoE and am having a devil of a time tracking it back down. And now a new 2D Castlevania is upon us... great...

WiiU is a nice ripe place to land this game... as far as I'm concerned, WiiWare is dead (the d/l service on Wii i.e.).

The first Kirby I played front to back and was thoroughly impressed by it at the time. KSS took the title of fav Kirby once that came along

I wanted to see what the slide pads felt like but I won't complain about the analogs. I'm just ready to get my hands on it.

Strange, I don't why I thought this already was out in NA... Well, cool.

And the first 3DS revision, due after the Wii U launches, proves to be well on the way. Complete will a better gripping Circle pad, 2 Circle pads in fact, a 3DS screen with a better viewing angle "sweet spot", a larger touch screen, and... and... A bigger battery life. I give you the 3DSPRO

Any and all good suggestions, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see how the big N will continue to evolve it's online.

Oh... wow... WTF, you have GOT to be kidding. I could not even keep up with video as there was simply TOO much going on. It's like, @$$hole Mario come to life! "pwn"ee... LOL! I'm not going nowhere near this game, I think I got a better chance at getting $1000 at a casino

I'm currently playing Zelda:SS on Wii and MGS3D:SE on 3DS.

weeps silently

F-Zero and SF have be equally missing and both are ripe to come back hard for WiiU. Agreed, Retro will be working on "something", and it looks like the moniker of "Retro" is not just a name, so who better to resurrect dormant Nintendo franchises (and make them good). I'll wait for official word first before I get hype...

I could nitpick that lineup, but I see more than enough of what I need to play combined with what I'll still be playing from Wii, so I'll be all set... I can't say the same for everyone else... If that line-up is even confirmed to begin with. If that is the line-up though, let's just hope there's no typical software drought like always with system launches... it's gotten really old...

It's got my interest... I wasn't all that interested in SEGA's recent Sonic racers but I may give this one a look. It looks good in the trailer, so I'm hoping it comes together as a game.

LEGO fan + Zelda fan = FANGASM

LOL @ the fact that everyone was expecting Chicken to land a bad review
I'm actually quite surprised this came out so well. I'm not always a fan of score attack games, but I am a fan of time wasters (Tetris, Zen Pinball 3D, etc.) so this sounds like another eShop essential. And at $2 bucks, this one is a no brainer for me.

Before they were super, they were just Mario Bros. I wish like hell I could be in that marathon. I LOVE Mario Bros.

I knew there was a Mario/Zelda cereal, but I had no idea about a Donkey Kong one. Um... can someone tell me why Mario's voice in the commercial sounds suspiciously close to Charles Martinet's Mario? That Mario even said "Here we go!" almost to the T how Charles would've. I guess what I'm getting at is I wonder if Charles remembered that commercial as inspiration for when he auditioned for Mario's voice? Very strange...

Other than that, I vaguely in the depths of my brain remember the Pac Man cereal commercial, and I DEFINITELY remember the Super Nintendo commercial. Nintendo's advertised back then with bite thanks to their console war with SEGA. And honestly, I loved that slogan of "Now you're playing with power... Super Power!" though when it was first used with the NES it was more fresh

12pm, right in the middle of my workday. Well, if it's a slow day I know what I'll be watching...

I met all of my best friends and frequent gamer pals with this console. SSBM, MKDD, FFCC, LoZ:FSA, WarioWare:MMG, Ultimate Muscle, and many, many more. Good times in the 2000s with this console.

Fully agree with the article. They can't just forget about this like the CD Nintendo games... those aren't canon, no way no how, but SMB2 DID happen, Mario slapped across Doki Doki Panic or not. BTW, Wart did get SOME love in Zelda:LA though!

This is an interesting debate. 20 years from now, the whole world will probably strictly be downloading soft copies of games that probably will also be able to be resold, lol. But for now, there's a fine line out there of profit, and the publishers and retailers are trying to transition as slowly and smoothly as possible so that digital sales don't kill retail sales cause as we all know, you can produce a finite quantity of hard copies, but an infinite quantity of soft copies. Therefore, so retailers aren't eating the cost of hard copies sitting on the shelve because everyone's doing digital, keeping the price the same keeps the consumer "honest" by giving neither method an advantage and strictly forcing the consumer to buy one or the other strictly on preference and nothing more. I'm not saying that's right, but like I mentioned, publishers and especially retailers are trying to maximize profit in the end. The ultimate thing that I have an issue with is whether soft copies will depreciate just like the hard copies do, or as the hard copies disappear, will the digital prices stay full with the justification of "it's now rare an old therefore full price". This stuff is enough to drive ya crazy. Gaming used to be so simple..............

Luigi's Mansion, the early years

... And we're surprised at this stage of the Wii's life with regard to the constant issues with the WiiWare service....? I was just waiting for the official news. I suppose River City Ransom 2 (I didn't forget about that announcement either) or whatever was quietly canned for Wii as well right? I'll shift my thoughts toward anticipating the announcement of alot of these games going to the Wii U. Hopefully Wii U Ware will address all of these shortcomings that plagued WiiWare.

Sakura Samurai is a good start. Can't say the same for Spotto, lol

It's still too early to tell, but start here, move forward. We'll see how things look a year from now and decide if Nintendo is doing good or bad with this.

What... did I just watch, and I am NOT a Rayman fan but damn was ALL OF THAT impressive.

I'm indifferent. Make a complete game, but still offer something to extend the game after the usual stuff. As long as DLC isn't a requirement because a game wasn't finished, so be it, but you can only cram so much in a finished product without leaving "something" out. But I digress... I'll love Animal Crossing regardless

It's nice having a choice. This will benefit someone out there. (Maybe even me...)

It's been said millions of times already here in different ways, but for me, it will boil down to this: How much does it matter to me that I "keep" a downloadable retail game versus sell it back to Gamestop if I had purchased a digital copy. It would be great if we were at the point where we could sell digital media (like if I bought it through a Gamestop digital download, I could sell it back through there, or, if I bought it direct from Nintendo, then sell it back to them toward points/coins/$, etc. toward another Nintendo direct download purchase). Even I can't believe what I'm typing, but this digital stuff opens so many avenues, but leaves so many questions and room for improvement.

My current gaming style is I Gamefly everything unless it's a game I intend to invest constant hours into (Read Kid Icarus: Uprising for it's online, MK7 for it's online, etc.) then I will buy it and keep it til I get sick of it or a sequel comes along. So, let's say MK7 was downloadable as an option-- here I am, playing it for hours and hours and hours, and then Finally here comes MKWiiU. Well, I'm done with MK7 at that point but... I have to just... erase it, or keep it forever, but I get no return on investment. As the example that people have used already, if it's a game that is constantly evolving (I'm making Animal Crossing a hopeful example), then I will download it and have it for a long long time... but then again, one day ACWiiU will come, and now I'm stuck with a non-sellable AC3DS. Meh, I'm sticking to physical til further notice

We'll know in Sept., no sooner than Aug. Period.

All these hopes up. I'll keep it simple with Zelda 3DS and Fire Emblem: Awakening which haven't been officially announced yet for NA. As much as I'd love F-Zero re-appearing or Earthbound (believe me, I LOVE them) but I'll believe them when I see them.

Super Street Fighter II for Genesis............... slap self out of a 3rd story window

Nothing's impossible, but not likely any time soon.

Figured this would be a huge comment section... some things never change for the SSB series

I'd like to see tripping go, and if chain grabbing is going to remain YET AGAIN (read: hater of it) then I want the ability to counter throw. If someone wants to get me in that hot garbage, then give me the chance to turn the tide, period. Further, make the parry actually make the striking character flinch wide open for at least a second. Hard to time parry vs. successful parry and wide open attack seems like a worthy trade off. Oh, and I still want air throws.

Yeah, that's the stuff I want to see in the next SSB. Oh and, it's time to nerf Metaknight and Wario, lol.

It all comes back to the software. Good s/w, 10 mil Wii U's gone, bad software, they won't even meet that number.

Definitely will do when I have nothing else better to do with my coins.

So this is SMB4, lol... Boy did I call this one

Now it's time to see what makes it so "part 2"... flight was one of the things I hoped they'd add.

Wow... severely missed opportunity for something great-- but a great opportunity to catch up on other stuff I've been meaning to play

Holy jenkies!! Didn't know it was THAT BAD. Ah well, I've got an axe to grind with C2:BR anyway.

I'll take Castlevania: The Adventure for 500, Alex

Wow.

I'm a gamer, I'm a Mega Man fan... it's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN I'll get it

I was on the fence about Pyramids, so i think I'll D/L that demo n decide for myself. I Must Run! sounds like the perfect time waster for me. As for 3D Classics:KI, it is absolutely beautiful, but as much of a Pit fan I am, I've already run the original enough times that I'm too satisfied to do it again, pretty graphics and all... I'll let someone else experience that gem

For 2 bucks I think Imma scoop this up. This should be a good time waster that'll last me a bit.

"perfect week to buy games you put in your wishlist"

My exact thoughts

Yeah, I like to eat... I can relate to this
