For $50 more, I can buy a vastly superior console. That is a shame. I really wanted them to drop the price too.

Wii U is already a viable platform. Hurry and put your money where your mouth is and make games for it already, or lose money. Your call EA.

I always love to see women in games that are not overly objectified, or victimized. A strong female presence is what more games need today!

The game is awesome, as expected.
Now I need WayForward to complete my summer by releasing Shantae and the Pirates' Curse!!!
When will we see it?

Can't wait to dominate!

Looks cool. I don't care too much about the cat aspect, though.

I'll be switching it up this week.

Why is it only June?

Lol. Google plus. That's a joke for you.

Going to skip MK8 unless it is really good. I was underwhelmed by 7. Everything else looks okay to solid.

Nothing particularly exciting, but the new sonic, and Smash looked cool.

Looks like I'm catching me a Fletchling.
Thanks for the news.
I really hope Rotation Battles return. Those battles are so much fun!

I have to play 3. Well, I don't HAVE to, but I want to really badly.

There you go, all you super fans that say "I don't want an interactive movie, I want a game" and "I don't care about the hairs on Mario's mustache."
How does that feel? You are getting an interactive movie in DKCU and they stressed the importance of each clump of fur on DK's skin.

Being one who missed the DKCR, I am actually hyped about this game somewhat. I hope it was as difficult as I remember the first 2 DKC games being on the SNES.

Holy cow!

Link to my wallet.

Thursday. Purchase!!!!

@Nobodys_Angel That is awesome. I never knew that. I did know the Dark type trickster part though. But everything else makes Pokemon sound that much more awesome.

Bout time!!

I can't wait to see whatever it is Retro is cooking up. I'm looking forward to that the most.

@dumedum You are totally right. Mario and Pikmin are going to be the most hype-filled games this year. Lol.
Well, I'm still getting the PS4 and Wii U, and Microsoft can go do something with themselves.
Most people here can't speak objectively about all three consoles.
XB1 was good but their policies stink, Wii U is good, but underpowered, which is why a lot of developers are abandoning it. PS4 really doesn't have much bad going for it. You want to complain about social stuff they added? Go ahead, but it is still a gaming machine, and it has delivered big-time yesternight.

The power of denial is strong with users like Waveboy who absolutely refuse to admit that SONY pretty much already won.50 bucks is nothing when I can get the superior machine that will no doubt have more games, and more beautiful games.

@Tertis FF15 is PS4 exclusive. KH, up in the air.

@RupeeClock Microsoft will either change their approach to gaming, or die! Haha.
With a $399 price point, and the used game policy they have, I think PS4 might have won it this year. But it's too early to say.

@FOURSIDE_BOY You must also understand that even the majority of the people who bought the wii weren't even the most hardcore Mario fans. The original wii was catered to a casual, family audience, which is pretty much the exact opposite thing they're trying hard to do right now.

Nintendo is in a weird place this gen. The Wii U is not nearly as powerful as the other two consoles, which is, along with any other reason a developer might skip making a game for it, a HUGE factor for companies whether or not they will release games with huge worlds, and cutting edge graphics and etc for it when it can't handle it.
I wish such was not the case. I'm not quite sure how a new SSB or Mario or even Zelda game will sway many people towards their console over things that will get more games.

Like. Good news.

Nintendo has their work cut out for them. The other two consoles are sure to have a crazy lineup, and they definitely have the backing of tons more developers. They will have to do much more than Mario and Zelda to impress.

Nice article. Looking into some games now.

Oh boy, oh boy. I cannot wait for this game!

@SCAR392 Read my post. I said if you don't like the games, BECAUSE THEY ARE M RATED GAMES, OR DON'T BELONG TO A NINTENDO PLATFORM.
Nice, bro.
If you don't like truly good games because of some bias, like I see in A LOT of posts on this website, then pretty much, yes, that makes you the same. If there is some other reason you don't like the game, then hey, I don't care.

_{stop the name calling. it's not needed.} k8smum

Most anticipated game this year for me.

I wholly agree. Anyone that denies the brilliance of games such as The Last of Us, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, and such just because they are M rated games or they aren't on Nintendo platforms is an idiot. Plain and simple.
Nintendo should at least have their second parties make M games. Don't be shy, big N.

Shame. And this game sells like crazy. Some Wii U exclusive features alone would have gotten thousands of people to buy the console.
Stupid 2K games.

I am now officially hyped about a Wii U game.

One of the best eshop games!

Don't care what anyone says, I've owned the 3DS for a few months now, and MSF is my all-time favorite game for it. The level of hype is astronomical for me.
I cannot wait until next week. Why is it only this Tuesday?

Never played a Pikmin game and I never played WW. So, those games ar the most hype-worthy to me.
And Mario Kart, even though 7 was sub-par. I want to see the tracks that Retro Studios is making.

Virtual Boy. One of the worst consoles ever made, if not the worst.

New IP? I might finally have a reason to buy a Wii U.
But I won't hold my breath.

What? The game is getting a Vita version? Oh that version is going to suck.
What? It's coming to the Vita? I Hate Ubisoft. Ubisoft is a trash developer!
Anyway, I know what version I'm getting.

Always online, while a bummer, won't deter me from buying this console. I mean be honest, most of us are always online anyway. We keep up with our bills from the cable providers, so I don't see what the big fuss is about anyway.
My biggest fear is that it won't have enough first party support, and exclusive games.
Quite the opposite situation is going on with the Wii U. So far, the PS4 is winning this new gen thing.

Looks cool. That plus a couple of more games may finally convince me to get a Wii U.

The need to catch them all, as well as battle them with your friends before the lunch period ended to see who was the best there ever was in school made the Pokemon games legendary among video games.

EV training and Pokemon trading. Looking for any pokemon in the Treecko and Piplup line of monsters. those are the only starters I'm missing. I'll give any traders Pokemon AIDS for them!

I assure you, the console is not going anywhere.
Unless you can play cutting-edge and super technical games like Skyrim and Fallout on iphones.

I just can't wait until the other next gen consoles arrive, and they start cranking games.

It is always a good idea to keep an eye on the latest technology. I know they will both have amazing games.

Can't wait! Give me that, and Shantae and the Pirate's Curse!

Shame, shame.
Stupid comment on a public site.
Oh, well.

Whether or not what he said has any merit, one thing is for sure. The Wii U better pick up with third parties.
Anyway, I hardly play anything but sports games, pokemon and a handful of other titles, and concerning those areas, EA has nothing of quality. Last Madden I bought was 8 years ago. And their NBA games are crap compared to 2K games.
