"One thing to consider about the people who signed up for our waiting list is that they had no financial commitment to do so. So it is possible that they purchased their Wii U from another retailer."

All right, you caught me.

Well, WayForward are the masters of 2D sprite-based games after all. If there's anyone I would trust to make a classic-feeling Metroid with a new twist or two, it's them.

Aw man, I had my heart set on not getting this, as I already spent money on 3 NSMB games and didn't want more and more of something I already had, but these new additions sound really nifty. Maybe sometime down the road...

Definitely looks cool. I'll be keeping tabs on it.

But.....didn't PETA essentially actually exist in Unova? The main conflict was with a group against training Pokémon for fighting, wasn't it?

Definitely was a sweet acquisition for Nintendo. Heck, Platinum Games in general is a great acquisition for anybody.

Haha it's like Hyperdimension Neptunia, but even more blatant. Yet somehow even more awesome.

I, ah, um....what? How strange...

Good to hear, considering this is my favorite 3DS game so far.

James: "Good, good.... The day where I take pver this company come closer."

Pff, HAHAHAHAHA!! It's just a random Big Mac! Why?

I thought it was proven that Error was the character's name.

What!? No! That's so sad.... At least the staff members won't be terminated, though.

Haha, it sounds almost like Flick Rush from KH3D expanded into a full game. Cool for those Japan people, iirc Dragon Ball Heroes is one of the more popular card games there at the moment.

Good. Ninja Gaiden is at it's most interesting when it's challenge level is high.

Definitely need to save up Coins for this. It's like having only one shoe of a pair, which seriously annoys me.

A couple days after my birthday! May be good late gift.

I would buy a new Billy Hatcher game in a minute! Especially if it involved Yoshi. XD

I quite sure there are more than one of these. I'm also quite sure that they're faked more often than not.

Look like a lot of good 3DS stuff here. Definitely will have to pick up at least one thing at some point.

Oooh, some cool stuff here. I would personally grab the Kirby medallion and Fire Emblem soundtrack if any of these made it westward.

Oooh, sounds interesting. I'll keep an eye on this one.

It kinda reminds me of Rune Factory.

Eh, to be honest, I'll probably still enjoy it like a 10/10 anyway, but good review, Katy.

Everybody Wang Chung tonight...

But....isn't just about every game announced so far using the tablet in some way, shape, or form?

@runeacer74: Whatever happened to the Vector Tank game anyway?

Sounds good, but the Animal Crossing Wild World curved-earth style of the map looks a little uncomfortable.

I....don't exactly know how long you've been writing here Katy, but at least the first article I've read from you is for something kooky like this.

So it could work like the SD Card Menu, huh? Well, any improvements can only be a good thing.

@GeminiSaint That's true, I would probably take Klonoa before almost any other Namdai character, as far as fitting the tone goes.

No Tekken for me, but two or three Tales characters would be kinda cool and fit well enough, imo. I don't even want to know what kind of licensing hell would have to be experienced in order for them to put anything Gundam-related in, though.

Congrats and farewell to James who seems to have really snagged a nice job there. Working for the big guys. We'll miss you! Also, congrats to Damien, good luck with the the site, man!

"Hardcore shmup fans have been waiting a long time for a solid eShop title..."

...which is why Kyotokei should be ported to eShop.

Gotta say, the XL does look plain slicker than the vanilla. Who knows? Maybe I'll even upgrade one of these days...

I like how Kirby is the largest character in the doodle. Don't worry Sakurai, we know you love your creation.

Will probably grab Mario Tennis for a nostalgia shot, at least then it won't have my ridiculously overpowered GBC character carried over. That guy was just unfair.

Could be interesting, as long as it has some polish to it.

Eh, I've always considered Triple Trouble the best Game Gear Sonic anyway. Sonic 2 Game Gear was just way too unfair in the level design department for me.

God I love Richie Branson.

God I love Richie Branson.

It's really sad when a fanbase is so bad that a higher-up has to point this out. But, this is a problem with any long-lasting fanbase. It's doing what you can to support the company even through the disappointments, and focusing on the positive, that determines your future experience, imo.

Great! Hopefully this'll ease the load on Sakurai a bit, he's probably being worked ragged to get the project going. Would be cool if there was a few Namco guest characters in there, too, I would love to have some Tales in my Smash Bros.

@Mickeymac Even if you decided to go give a try right now, it wouldn't set you back much. I got it for 4 dollars at Gamestop of all places.

No mention of Metal Arms: Glitch in the System? With some sort of netplay component, that underrated gem would become a multiplayer staple!

Not surprised or worried at all. There will be plenty of other good games until the next Smash Bros. comes out, so it'll be easy to be patient.

If anything, this will be my first WiiU game. Something about it just strikes me. In a good way.

Looks.....clunky, but definitely seems like a nice add-on. See? Now you left-handers can play Kid Icarus Uprising too!

Huh, no online is kind of a shame, but I really like how they tried to compromise by making Download Play the exact same package as the cartridge's.
