This game doesn't look fun to me. Too much wide open space, and the controls look challenging to master, drying to nap running ghosts and all.

No one who knows the excellence of the GBA titles would want them again on their Wii U over their 3DS. Anyone who doesn't know the excellence of GBA titles at all will not get them for their Wii U. That's just a sad situation .

Honestly, this is downright offensive given the context that the pranksters are seemingly pulling this off because of the Boston marathon shooting. I guarantee anyone involved would not appreciate this as a prank this soon after the incident. Last week would have been a much different story. It's unfortunately not a laughing matter.

I'm surprised they didn't swap over to blonde Link for this one. I mean, they made an obvious hint when they bundled the blonde Link's into the Four Swords, and incorporated blonde Link's voice FX into the GBA Link to the Past. Interesting move.

Although a car alternator can probably handle it, the 75 W specs used by the Wii U system probably cannot be very good for the car battery, especially if the car is only idling. But heck, it still looks like a sweet deal to me!

As long as they make a full fledged HD F-Zero (with wifi!) for Wii U, my F-Zero life will be fulfilled. An F-Zero rendition would be nice. A port of F-Zero could definitely suffice.

Now this is legit! Can't believe this wasn't an available option in the real game, but beggars can't be choosers.

I check the score first to give me context on the character of the game and character of the reviewer. Extreme or moderate scores add a lot of context to what to expect from the text, and prepare me to agree or discredit what they may have to say.

That projection sounds really healthy for Nintendo, considering how the Wii sales were through the roof. It will be an excellent console with good first party support, which is what matters. That will satisfy Nintendo and the fans.

I considering laying down some cash for the DLC, up until I realized that I can get the majority of the extra characters via SpotPass. The later DLC looks much more interesting than those that are available now, and the only draw for me would be the items and abilities. I can just watch youtube to get the sidestories.

Time to start transitioning over towards frequent investigation of CoroCoro and Serebii.net. Can't wait!

Honestly I'm starting to think that developers are thinking and acting like children who are afraid of life being unfair or risky. The Wii U is essentially a no brainer for supporting the PGA franchise. It would be a better if not equivalent experience compared to 360and PS3, and good games will sell!

Other than the save game data being lost, Nintendo has essentially given this gamer $200 for new games, which seems like a great deal to me. Sure, maybe I would want to own and replay some of the many lost titles, but I wouldn't even want to redownload all $400 worth of games, some of which I wouldn't ever need to pick up again. Now this gamer has a choice to get anything in the Wii U store, which will eventually retain many of the Virtual Console games that may have been lost. It still does suck though. But, I kinda wish I was the one who had made that "mistake".

Why waste their extra effort? Release the game!

Fire Emblem: Awakening, for many a future weekend as well I'm sure.

For me it's not a matter of buying Rayman Legends. What I still need is incentive to buy my (eventual) Wii U. Was planning on a summer purchase, but now I'm not so sure.

Day 1 DLC comes courtesy of the already released Japanese content which means they are already (for the most part) developed. So, it makes sense that they should be readily available day 1. The initial pack being free is at least a nice gesture.

That's it then. Nintendo should have launched Wii U in January so that all of the REAL launch titles would come out without this current two month delay Nintendo is currently dealing with while publishing ther next batch of games. Rayman Lefends was supposed to be the system seller for me when I got my next paycheck. Now I might as well wait. Nintendo is not going to bode half as well, and for what? The chance for Ubisoft to hype up their multiplatform game that would sell just as much if they didn't wait? 6 months is an incredible length of time of lost 1st wave Wii U sales!

Bummer. It seems our industry is more cut throat than we'd like to think it is. Too bad, since the Epic Mickey franchise is one of the most interesting Disney IPs ever since Kingdom Hearts first came out.

I hope they don't mess with the controls. I found WW to have one of the best control schemes ever, in fluidity and satisfaction during fights. Not to mention proper dual analog sticks which WW was already designed for with the GC controller.

Best on the go digital download yet! besides mario kart 7 so far.

Not going to lie. This title already had kick butt controls, in addition to actually being designed for dual analog sticks, it's a perfect fit! Sounds like a great project for Nintendo to get there hands dirty in HD while they learn how to really make their games look great. This is a great filler. It's a shame I've literally completed every inch of detail and quests already...full photo gallery and everything!

I've been waiting desperately for this game ever since Pokemon Colosseum and XD! Finally, a proper 3D pokemon RPG! Can't wait to try it out, even if the new pokemon are iffy. The old ones will be there too!

Amazing news! It took long enough. I've been waiting for a solid 3D pokemon RPG since XD!

If you can retail download Wii U games (which are indeed massive in size), there is literally no legitimate excuse not to publish the GC on Virtual Console. Too bad I already have pretty much every GC game already! Being patient isn't that big of a deal for me.

If someone bought a WiiU and only one game now, I guarantee they will be buying more in the future. Otherwise there would have been no motivation to buy the console to begin with. It may take me a whole year to fully save up for just the launch titles that I still want to get, but Nintendo will still get my money in the long run.

Maybe the Wii mini will break ground into new markets, where wifi is not commonly available. There's still a big big world that could benefit from a budget price streamlined Wii console.

That retail download list is insane. For the delayed releases on Xbox live and PSN, I didn't know if there was something fundamentally wrong wit te concept. Nintendo must sure not think so!

The Wii U is the best thing that Sony could hope in the near future. Wii U will ensure third party multiplatform games will continue to feed the aging PS3. The PS3 price is right for many people, and will provide a well worth investment in the coming years since the PS4 isn't coming out right away. Sony doesn't need a PS4 right away, Thanks to the Wii U breathing fresh air into the industry, Nintendo deserves nothing less than a Thank You from its competitors.

The internal Wii hardware chipset is completely separate from the Wii U display system chipset. It would have been nice for the display output for TV and Gamepad to be used interchangeably, but I guess they couldn't perform a crossover between Wii and Wii U systems to get it done. It's probably saving them money, and no harm done.

I want it. Can't wait for the digital download!

I'm probably the only one on Earth who has purposefully been holding out on Mass Effect 3 for my 360 so I can play it on my new Wii U instead. So no complaining here.

As someone who loves video game music almost more than games themselves, I couldn't help but cry tears of joy. The world needs this!

That Sun article was properly absurd. People reading the article are more likely to be interested in the Wii U due to it's deplorable credibility, as each of it's "facts" are backwards.

Cost is perfect: PS4 & XBOX720 will be incredibly more expensive and outside the market. Sony and Microsoft will be thanking Nintendo for keeping this generation alive for an extra few years. It's in their best interest to take their time developing the next gen technology. Nintendo won't put them out of business, and will give 3rd parties incentives to keep chugging out current gen games without complaining of a stale market. The Wii U is fresh!

This is rewarding the many Nintendo fans that prefer not to defer to other systems, but have had to in order to get the best HD experiences during the past 5 years. No need to defer any longer!

Well now I simply must get around to finishing Bayonetta. I know it's great, but this just fuels me with incentive!

This just means I will never have to turn my back on Nintendo again...thank you xbox 360 for temporarily tiding me over for the real deadl!

US scores are always rounded down from Japan scores. $300 and $350 it is (TBC later today). Not too bad, considering the gamepad represents a bulk of the price.

Lucky for me in the UAE, 11am. I'm from the East coast USA, and I would have chosen to lose sleep over this!

Not sure if it occurs to anyone, but I think Nintendo is purposefully holding back on the Wii U as a marketing strategy . They said several years ago how it was a mistake to publicize and market the Wii like crazy, only to have people mad and frustrated at not being able to find the console in stores for over a year! I think they are afraid of not meeting the demand this time around. To me, this is an obvious mistake. Nintendo NEEDS to build hype for this machine! They will NOT have the problem of shortage this time around. It just won't happen.

Looks like the Wii U will fit in between generations just fine, straddling the benefits of both. It's going to be several years before next gen anyway. Wii U is attractive for the pure concept that it is new, so even my xbox 360 will take second place just because it's getting stale, not because it's inferior. By the time the next generation arrives, the Wii U will mop up sales for it's less expensive value, much like the Wii did. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo releases the true next gen successor to the Wii U shortly after Microsoft and Sony deliver.

I hope they have some new IPs to work with by then. Seriously Nintendo, that gives you at least 3 years to give the smash bros series something new to work with. Brawl has already managed to take care of everything pre-2010.

I would like it if the Wii U and 3DS eShops could share purchases through the same account, for suitable VC titles. I'll be twice as likely to buy if I know I can play my same purchased title on both the 3DS and Wii U. Please let me play my Ambassador titles on the TV!!

I'm lucky for not getting it for xbox 360 yet. Now I'll happily hold out for the Wii U version instead!

Getting the Megaman X series for Wii VC seems uncomfortably redundant to me. I've got Megaman X1-6 in the MMX Collection for GCN and that suits me just as well if not better, as it is still fully compatible for Wii. It's not like your virtual console is going to contribute any pros greater than the MMX collection unless you have a fetish for digital only content.

So it's like a Kirby Super Super Star Deluxe, which now has a collection within a collection of games. Have played all but never properly owned the ones besides the those on the eShop.

I hope you can charge while comfortably playing. If you need a charge station, that would be obnoxious.

Since Nintendo hasn't decided yet, it will still be a long time before we get to see anything. I think they should do a brand new top-down Zelda, followed by a remake of MM. Or, do a 3D remake of Link to the Past, followed by a brand new 3D Zelda!

Well that was a glowing preview. I'd say it's added to my excitement, but I'm already max pumped for this game!
