ORIGINAL CHARACTER! DO NOT STEAL!

I've been pretty harsh for this guy on delaying the game over and over again, but damn I cant help but admire for keeping his word.

Also, I purchased the game today on Wii store. Loving it!

I cant help but notice that Retro City Rampage is once again MIA. So much for that promise.

If they'd do that, it would be like the proverbial gold-mine would also have a huge vein of diamonds and a oil-well.

I feel highly skeptic at this, but then again I do so everytime a "rare prototype of an already established game" pops up (See Zelda "prototype" we had last year). Reading all the info though it seems legit though.

The fact that it says "Licensed by Nintendo" does stand out for me, since at this point they were pretty much done with Nintendo and making unlicensed carts. I've been trying to come up with a reason why it would have that.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I am planning to buy that version in a heartbeat though.

Yes, I will totally believe that Megaman-thing just because someone on Neogaf said it.

That EA bit comes off less of a speculation and more of a pointless mud-slinging.

Bargain bin purchase! Bargain bin purchase! Bargain bin purchase!

Thats a real shame. I loved Goldeneye and honestly think its bit underrated.

"Who died and made you f****** king of the zombies?"

This is all too weird. I mean, same things happens to two football games and at the same year? I smell conspiracy.

Christ, I think my heart jumped a bit when I read part of the headline.

I think this requires some Frank Sinatra

Deus Ex: Human Revolution perhaps?

Amazing that this series still keeps on going.

Yeah, the question is not "if", but rather "when".

...nope. After all the promises, Im still betting it will get another delay.

Well, this might turn out to be "a mistake" like last time, but I say they will be available sooner or later.

This is old news. I think Nintendo themselfs even made a statement about this "blowing" thing.

They say lot of things on Kotaku. Lot of things that aren't that important.

I dunno. Around the time Playstation hit the scene several employees left Rare and formed their own studio, because they weren't happy with Rare's decision to work with Nintendo exclusively. Considering how Gamecube and Wii went, I could see that happen again if they werent bought out.

Still no word on the euro prices?

SOLD!

Sheesh. This is starting to remind me of Microsofts last E3. At least there's less SPORTS SPORTS KINECT SPORTS.

Fair enough

As a huge Fallout fan (you could guess that from the nickname), I freaking love that Pip-boy idea and cant imagine why I never thought of it before.

....I feel like having a Bic Mac right now.

Getting that to Wiiware was about as hard task as the game itself.

Nintendo isnt the only one. Valve is also taking a huge step towards more social gaming by revamping their community section on Steam. It kind of reminds me of Facebook now and its really well made. If Nintendo's approach is anything like it, its something I can live with.

Now this one I can actually believe to be legit. As was said, I know this prototype is not only possible, but has been seen before already.

I'd stick with the GBA one though. Good luck to all the collectors out there.

"When Nintendo decided that The Lost Levels was too difficult for Western gamers"

Why do people still insist that this happened because it was too difficult? It doesn't make sense. If it were true, Zelda 2 might have not happened and instead we would have gotten a re-skin of Tōjin Makyō-den Heracles no Eikō (the first Glory of Heracles game). No other company seemed to have such mindset either, considering the systems reputation of having plenty of really hard games.

What does make sense is that Lost Levels is pretty much identical to the first Super Mario game, with exception to level design, some graphical changes and poison mushrooms.

"Prototype"

Nintendo is not actually the only one underestimating such things. Just look at how gloggy Steam gets everytime they have a huge Summer/Christmas sales.

Better update my scanner....

Honestly, I enjoyed the pre-show the most since it was what I wanted: New WiiU information. So yeah, Iwata, American Simon Pegg (thats what Im calling him) and Non-specific Action figure did the best job.

....yeah. I wouldn't listen much to a man who wants to make a game that has 80,000$ DLC (as mentioned early).

Ever had a feeling of DejaVu?

Ever had a feeling of DejaVu?

C'mon! Something new!

Are you absolutely sure its a single-player game? They showed some stuff what looks to me like multiplayer and concept art of four characters, in which case one holding the WiiU pad play as Olimar.

I'll join the choir and go "Why wasnt this shown!?". Then again, I guess it would have been viewed as yet another mini-game compilation.

Ubisoft showed a brilliant line-up, and not just for Wii U. So good that Sony used a good chunk of their conference to promote Far Cry 3 and Assassins Greed 3 as well. And Watch Dogs looked amazing.

Rayman Legends was great, but it turned awesome right when the music-level started. Im pretty sure this is gonna be the top platformer of this year and the next Mario gonna has to be really innovative to top this.

Now lets hope we'll get some more ZombiU (God that name's awful) footage on Nintendo's conference!

Small? I think thats a rather good spot, especially for a portable game.

Also, rest of the list = not crap. Grow up people. (Well, maybe Zumba Fitness, but it has its own market).

Thats crazy talk!

Nintendo: One step at a time

With not going into any of the Wiiware sucks talk (its bad, thats pretty much established) and if MDK2 or Baldurs Gate are any good (quality games), lets get on to other points:

1. From what I've heard, other platforms have their own sale-quotas which have to be reached until the developers start forking any cash. Could be that Wii's just the biggest of them all, but I like to point it out to some people who think such limitations dont exist in other platforms.
2. I looked up for hype, news or any other stuff related to MDK2 in NintendoLife, all I found was this and the review
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/04/mdk_2_shoots_for_1000_of_your_nintendo_points_on_9th_may
And with GoNintendo, which pretty much gathers every bit of news on the net that have some relations to Nintendo, there's 4 reviews (one from magazine, one from this site), Nintendo Channel video, announcement of its development and announcement of its release. Plus these newsbits that have popped up.

So yeah. If you're expecting to fill anykind of quotas or to get any sales at all, you might consider advertising, hyping and promoting the game bit more.

EDIT: And I forgot to mention that this is the first appearance of the series in a Nintendo platform. This is the second game of the said series. And its an old, obscure series that is more familiar to PC gamers.

Either way works, but I wish they will bundle it with the console.

My wallet will go on
