It seems to me the Wii U release schedule will be something like:

August- Pikmin 3
September- Rayman Legends, The Wonderful 101
October- The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
November- 3D Mario
December- Mario Kart

Didn't Nintendo mention in the January Direct they're releasing Wii Party U for a summer release? Did I hallucinate?

I predict we'll see Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3 and some digital release.

No offense to those involved, but I come to this site for its comprehensive news and opinion articles. You guys are great at this.

This video tried too hard to be funny, though.

That said, this is a good PSA. The Telltale game is incredible... this one, not so much.

What I want, in this order:
-F-Zero UX (since Amusement Vision isn't around anymore, give it to Sumo Digital)
-Phantasy Star Online 2, which works with the PC and Vita versions.
-A GOOD Super Monkey Ball
-The Genesis Sonics, the Dreamcast Sonics, and Sonic Heroes on VC
-A new Chu Chu Rocket
-Another Sonic Racing game like Transformed (that game is so good!)
-A good 3d Sonic platformer

Is Miiverse integrated with this? It'd be awesome to share parts of the world you're exploring with friends.

This makes me sad. Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 are two of the best games ever created, IMO, while 3d Land is a decent, fun romp that feels like Deja Vu.

Ecco the Dolphin

I'm sorry, but I found NightSky incredibly boring when I played through it this summer. The style is cool, but everything quickly starts looking the same. Some of the puzzles are annoying to complete, as well.

The game does have a great physics engine, but I'd personally give it a 8... maybe

My personal list:

14. New Super Mario Bros.
13. Super Mario Land
12. Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels
11. Super Mario Land 2
10. Super Mario Bros.
9. Super Mario 3D Land
8. Super Mario Bros. 2
7. Super Mario Sunshine
6. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
5. Super Mario 64
4. Super Mario Bros. 3
3. Super Mario Galaxy
2. Super Mario World
1. Super Mario Galaxy 2

I'm a huge American football fan, but have never bought a Madden game. When I do purchase a Wii U in the next 6 months/year, maybe I'll pick this one up

I've always purchased the first iteration of Nintendo Handhelds. Got the Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, DS (Phat) and 3DS. The only upgrade I purchased was for the DSLite, because my old DS' screens broke.

The possibility of this being an open world makes it tempting, but I'll probably pass, ultimately.
I bought Monster Hunter Tri hoping for a PSO-like experience, which was probably a mistake. While the game certainly has cool aspects, the small levels and brutal difficulty turned me off.

When do the weekend sales typically start? I just checked e-shop but it was still original price.
