Wow. Seems like you either love or hate this game.

What @arderin64 said. I love Zelda II. Easily my most played Zelda game. It has a nice skill based battle mechanic, like when you're fighting the blue knights. However, that last dungeon, with those jumping things with sword and shield. Screw that, that's rediculous, I always skip them. And unfortunately, beating the final shadow boss without using the duck in the corner approach is practically impossible.

Kind of hard for me to vote properly on this. Didn't watch Sony or Microsoft at E3 (except for Destiny) and to be honest, I can't get a feeling for whether Nintendo is even on people's radar.

I mean if you were just a video games enthusiast, went to E3 as just a PC gamer. Would you walk away with any idea about Nintendo's releases? Or would it be Microsoft, Sony and other PC games in development?

Wow, look at all that content!

Great job Nintendo, that's the kind of thing that will make people eagerly await the eShop updates. I remember back in the early days of VC on Wii, it felt kind of similar.

With New Luigi, will it be better to buy or download. If you download, will you will be able to play the Mario version. If you buy, do you get both Luigi and Mario Bros versions? If you get both with the bought version (provided its cheap), that's a bargain.

If Reggie wants Nintendo to succeed again. He needs to bring back that wicked 'fro he had back in the 80s/90s. No coincidence that was when Nintendo was at its peak.

Nice promotion. Don't see too many people claiming it though. Not without some actual in store advertising.

I do think that will probably align with school holidays though. But Include the XL. As others mention, it's incredibly restrictive.

At a glance, most people seem to be thinking similar to me. That a price drop will most likely happen closer to rival system launches.

Leave Pachter alone!

He's just doing his job. I wouldn't be telling investors that everything with the WiiU is peachy. But so long as Ubisoft don't pull out of watch dogs on WiiU, I think WiiU can come back from this - although, I think Mario Kart 8 is WiiU's saving grace.

The bottom line is that Nintendo needs to have more Nintendo titles available at launch.

And obviously they're saying 'HD games unexpectedly blew out the development provess'. Still however, the fact that Nintendoland and New Super Mario U were the only Nintendo titles even close to launch suggests that they got this one wrong.

Note for next gen, throw everything into software development earlier, and launch with a few more titles (hopefully 3rd parties weren't asking Nintendo to delay Nintendo games to allow their software a chance to sell - if they were, me mad)

Interesting that they are claiming the console has failed when they have nothing relevant to compare it to. When XBox1 and PS4 hit the shelves, and even then, probably 3 months post launch, we will know how the consoles stack up against each other.

I understand XBox360 and PS3 have a large install base... but they've been out for 5 years give or take. It certainly makes sense to develop for these consoles. You could make the argument that at the moment no XBox1 or PS4 consoles have sold, so why waste money developing for them. Frankly I am getting sick of all the WiiU hate from developers.

@MadAussieBloke The POMs are going to crush us unfortunately

Still iffy on the name. Feels a bit clunky. But Nintendo knows my wallet is ready!

As others have said - price cut now - try to provide an alternative when people want to preorder a microsoft/sony system that they can play at christmas versus a cheaper system they can play now

I'm surprised votes are so high for smash bros. It seems the farthest from completion out of all the titles, which makes it really hard to make any solid impressions as far as I'm concerned.

In game footage or it never happened!

Y no 'Straya Ninty?

T/N Why not in Australia Mr Nintendo??

It makes sense. Scale back for WiiU so they can scale up for XBox1 and PS4. But really, it's nice that they grew a pair.

Looks epic.

Like robotech and final fantasy had a baby or something.

I don't think this cel shading really does full HD justice. I mean the water breaking at the front of the boat when sailing still looks bland. I hoped they would get a bit more out of it.

This screams epic win

Cat suit mario = awesome

BUT this is not the 3D mario you were looking for wave hands

I was hoping for a galaxy successor

I hope Nintendo just has playable demos of Super Mario Galaxy in full HD glory and a phenomenal amount of stalls to play it on.

You can't compete with the hype of big (second time) reveals, so they should make a compelling argument of our games are amazing and you can play them right now.

Still disappointed no megaman X. 3DS virtual console has 4 titles though which is good.

I have two Iwata's on my 3DS now.

It's great work and all. A simple concept done really well, but this belongs on the forums more than on the front page of this site. Just my opinion, I'm sure others feel differently.

I expected the old guy to say 'it's dangerous to go alone'

Pretty good. Don't know if I bought the guy they cast as Link.

I think this has some serious potential. Graphics aren't amazing, but if it plays like mario kart, it could kick some booty.

Where is megaman X for Europe? Where?!?! rages

I probably liked the Chun-Li section best. The other characters obscured themselves too much ruining the spectacle. Awesome concept though.

I had to vote tetris... bought it out of a bargain bin yesterday for $10

Obviously Ubisoft's word is worth nothing and their integrity exists so far as making promises they have no intention of keeping. That's to say, as far as their dealings with Nintendo are concerned, they look like scum.

Why Nintendo why?? Having different releases between US and EU just causes upset people. Unify your releases. Forget region locking. Blarg!

This is a website of passionate gamers for the most part, which is probably a good snapshot of your gaming markets outside of the 'casuals'. I see from the poll that our 5% in no way reflects the microsoft opinion.

Designing a modern gaming system without backwards compatibility isn't just backwards, it's lazy.

Going first always gives Nintendo an advantage.

PS4 and Xbox One are released, Nintendo floods the market with its first party offerings and lowers prices. This will always work (except for diehards and awsome exclusives like destiny) unless Nintendo has let the general public perception of its brand fall too much.

Many sales of consoles will be to parents who are buying for their children, in which case the parent would have a hard time justifying a $100-200 price difference, especially if the cheapest system has the largest library and titles like Mario that are known to all.

I'll be waiting for the highlights. Unfortunately real life responsibilities limit my ability to watch these things.

Nice to see Nintendo giving people a chance to get 'hands on' with what should be some system moving games.

@Sekuiya That was a great read. Thanks

That's it I'll never purchase this game again!!

(Good thing I already purchased it pre-rant, time to play the hell out of it too )

This doesn't appeal to me, but since they created the last ninja, I've always got time for system 3

Dad you killed zombie Bono and The Edge!

They were zombies??

Ba-doom-ching.

Rory, can't say your humour worked for me, but props for the effort you clearly put into this. I won't be getting this game, disaster averted

Excellent week.

1.5 million seems quite ambitious

This game looks awesome. This is the first time a kickstarter project has really appealed to me.

It also helps that 3DO Road Rash was one of my favourite games on that system.

I want the ocarina of time.
Go future, get lotto numbers.
Come back, buy all castles.

What the... this looks like some old school side scroller beat em up fun with modern touches.

Colour me intrigued!

How does that one guy carry a samurai sword, shotgun and baton. He must have large pockets.
This game looks amazing , I would buy this day 1.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein was my favourite FPS for online play.

Nice 'non' innuendo at the end there. Brought a moment of scrubs to mind...

Nurse: Todd, I'm sick of all your innuendo.

Todd: 'In your endo'
