@pntjr That games' multiplayer is awful, but the gamepad use is great. We need more games that make proper use of the gamepad. Nintendo is not using it in their new games at all. SM3DWorld uses it, but in a dumb way. The other games just use it for off-tv play or maps, wich is disappointing.

I do not agree with him completely, Nintendoland is a game that really shows off how different and unique the WiiU is. But I guess he means that there is no game that even casuals can pick up and play with ease and shows of unique the machine is. Also, looking at the current game lineup for the WiiU, Nintendo is not even using the Gamepad in revolutionary ways. Just having off-tv play or a map does not justify having the gamepad Nintendo, I want games with the asynchronous multiplayer!

Well, the have finally admitted it!

From the information that the game gives me, these games look well fleshed out and very enjoyable. It has a lot more interactivity going on in it and it is a real step up to the previous (free) games. I might buy the bundle as soon as I start studying at the university, I will be getting many hits while riding the train

If nintendo would develop games for app stores, the app stores will get into trouble too. Because suddenly there will be a very large quality gap between nintendo's games and the ones that Rovio makes and everyone realises they have been playing crappy games on there phones for years. (Just a prediction based on nothing )

No crashes here...

Of course he is right! The only problem I have with it is that it will still take a while before we finally get some great games for the wiiu. Oh well, I will play trough another New Super Mario Bros. (luigi dlc) until something else arrives.

I was thinking the same: Why isn't nintendo using the gamepad for other things then Off TV play? The only nintendo games that really make use of it's features, like asynchronous multiplayer, are Nintendoland and Game & Wario. I don't think nintendo should ditch it, it's an awesome device with awesome possibilities, but why doesn't even it's creator bother to implement it better in it's games?

@Melkaticox I said that this will be the first pokemon game that I will buy (myself). I have never done that before, because I don't like the older games. I have borrowed Ruby once from a friend and I just could not get into it. I have played one of the DS games too for 4 hours, and I just could not get myself to continue playing it. This installment seems to adress the problems I had with the older games, and thus I am interested in giving the series another go.

This will be the first pokémon that I will buy. Never really liked the series, but I appreciate the changes enough to give the series another go.

I think their decision to make another DK game is fine. But Nintendo must not forget it's other franchises. I really want to see a new metroid, 2D, 3D, I don't care about it.

That's a stupid question: Of course I am excited to play this game

@strongest_link That's because I do not like management in videogames, especially when there is a time limit to it. I have played both gamecube games, and I did not really like them. I should give Pikmin 2 another shot during the summer vacation, maybe I can change my mind before the release of Pikmin 3.

Mario 3D World did not wow me at first, I do like it now. MarioKart8 really surprised me! I did not see that gravity aspect coming and the graphics are great too! Smash Bros on the other hand looks like an HD version of brawl. X looks great too, but I want to see some fighting and want to know something about the story before jumping on board with it. DK didn't surprise me either, I knew it was coming thanks to the rerelease of DKCR (3D). The other games where games we already knew about. I do find it strange that Yoshi's wiiu outing is missing at the E3.

This summer and this fall, my wiiu will collect dust. But as soon as Wind Waker HD comes out, the wiiu will be getting awesome games every month, just like the 3DS. And now that I think about it, even for this summer we have some games that I like for the wiiu (but games like Pikmin do not interest me at all), but I will spend most of my money on the 3DS this summer.

Great news

My personal highlight!

I think the art style is awful. I loved the hand drawn sprites on the SNES and the DS version. The environments look bland and lifeless to me.

I hope it's true. We will probably hear more tomorrow!

@Kaine_Morrison You mean like an imaginary game system within Animal Crossing? That could be a funny idea! You get into a store and see a 'odnetnin' system. You can play a game on it like 'Tree Shaker Deluxe'.

Looking forward to it! I always liked racing sims every now and then.

I am really hyped for this game! It looks so good! Hopefully the game will feature another great story.

@antonvaltaz There is a mobile version of the site, which works just as well.

On my wishlist

Me = jealous

Well, or this guy is a total idiot, or he does it on purpose...

I will buy it, no matter what.

I am amazed!

@LDXD I mean the first xbox, that's why I say xbox 1 and not xbox One.

You know, the xbox 360 can't play most of the xbox 1 games, and if it does play the game it's badly emulated. So most people can't play their games, that's why nobody uses it on their 360. This guy just draws the wrong conclusion.

I think that they will go for something that resembles a FPS, because it is a genre that sells. To the question if we should be jealous: I don't thinks so. One of the reasons is, that if the game turns out to be good, you can buy a xbox if you really want to play it. It's not like that we are not able to buy it at all, because it is on a different platform. My second reason is that Rare is not what it used to be.

@SethNintendo I have bought my deluxe new on day one for 300 euros.

I laughed really hard at the unprecedented partnership part of EA. I thought the presentation was boring and disappointing.

Haha, this made me laugh! Did you guys see the trailer for the campaign on the site? It's hilarious!

@manu0 Yeah I know, I read the article. But still

I am somewhat interested in this title, but I am not sure if it's worth the (already lower then usual) price. The fact that it was supposed to be an preinstalled game makes me doubt even more.

Good to hear that it hasn't been cancelled!

I would like to know what the situation would be like in a few years! Maybe the wiiU will do bad, it's entirely possible (but that will probably mean that the other consoles will do bad too)! The opposite can also be the truth, and maybe then EA will come back, and all of a sudden they will love the wiiu, because there is a lot of money to milk out of the consoles' owners. Basically it is like stabbing someone in the back, to say sorry later and rob them from their money. I think that this guy can have is opinion, but please: keep it to yourself. If you want an angry horde of nintendo fans to burn you alive with fire flowers and stab you with their collection of master swords, this is the way to get their attention.

If both of the teams work together to create Mario & Sonic Allstars Racing, it would be great! Transformed is surely the better game, although it has a bit less polish.

@Williaint A stronger partnership then the one with EA, that's for sure

Looks like a Sonic crossover with 'The colonists of Catan' board game, judging from that one screenshot

I have been helping many people out on miiverse already. Some of them are just plain dumb. Here is one example: There is a section where you need to run over a crumbling bridge. The poor guy wasn't able to get past it. So I told him. 'Press and hold B'. He responded with: There is no B button! Me: O.o

The game plays well enough in my book. And if you don't know the difference, you don't know what you are missing out on.

"We celebrated its release with a big party over here at the office, consuming way too much alcohol!"

Yep, dutch developers

@LzQuacker recording is one part of it. There is also a lot of preparation involved (knowing what to do, how to keep the video interesting commentary wise, creating animations etc.) and mostly there is also a lot of editing that needs to be done too. Making a 20 minute episode can easily take op to an hour (if not more) to edit.

@stipey I am not entirely sure, but I believe that commentary makes it so that it is legal for you to use gameplay/music/video because of the 'fair use' policy. It could also be the case that Nintendo simply has not encountered my commentary videos yet, because my view count is very low (10-30 views per video, with a few acceptions ). Nintendo is more likely to get high traffic videos claimed first. I will try and ask around and see if fellow LP'ers have something to add.

Started to notice this three days ago. I am a Let's Player and I play Nintendo's games most of the time. A couple of my videos got tagged by ninty. But just the ones where I didn't do any commentary over the video. I do not earn any money from my videos btw, because it's a hobby and because google doesn't give me acces to adsense. They believe that I will break their rules and such.

@Beta They are not bad at all, but I prefer the more open ended approach in Sonic games than the restricted on rails routes.

Sounds like the return of the 'story book series' to me :S
