Sounds promising. The only pity is that it took so long to make.

If it came with Super Hang On and World Cup '90 I'd get it.

This is a really enjoyable game. If you like Streets of Rage or Final Fight this is a really solid choice.

Off topic: Pity for us Corbie wasn't reporting from E3 this year. I really would have liked to have known what was Incredible.

@LzQuacker Too good to be true uh? What about Zelda Twillight Princess U, can I have that please? Toon Link doesn't exactly float my boat, or put wind in my sails.

New Star Fox!? Surely it would just be quicker and easier to do Star Fox 64 U, or what about Star Fox Adventures U? Everybody likes those games and there's a new generation of gamers that haven't played those yet + tablet + HD = winning formula. That way they don't have to start from scratch, why make new assets when you can just reuse old ones?

Ps. If anyone from Nintendo is reading this please accept this as an open application to your strategy unit, I think I would fit straight in.

I want that game in that picture. When can I have it?

Metroid Prime 3 was one of my favourite games on Wii. Donkey Kong Country was good, but doesn't last long in the memory.

This game doesn't interest me. I'm interested in the games: Mario 64 -> Mario Sunshine -> Mario Galaxy -> ???

@Chakan At least they make racing games, unlike Nintendo. Where is F-Zero!?

I wonder what caused the bump in sales? The 3DS only really has 2 major system sellers (MK7 and SMBL), and they both came out last year. Still, that's one more than Vita, which only really has Uncharted.

Arkham City is overrated IMO. Arkham Asylum was better because it had a tighter narrative, with more purpose and focus. With Arkham City the magic of the first one gets lost in the mishy mashy open world structure. Arkham Asylum had a Zelda-esque feel to it.

@Nin-freak I didn't say ditch it. I said put it on the 3DS and don't make it the linchpin of the Wii U's launch.

And Pikmin sold 1.18m and Pikmin 2 didn't clear 1m.

All the fine tweaks in the world can't change the fact that Pikmin is a laborious game that has a limited fan base. I can't believe they've gone with Pikmin as a launch title again after what happend to the GameCube. This should have been a 3DS game with half the resources devoted to it. Not everything Miyamoto touches turns to gold you know.

I've got this on my PC.

@FJOJR That's how we pronounce Mario in the UK. You're not Italian so why pronounce it the way they would, also stop saying 'erbs instead of herbs! You're not French either.

Wow! Who would of thought these graphics would have been possible 5 years ago?

.

Why can't we have Pokemon land? Or Mushroom Kingdom land? You know fully realised. Sure it might take a lot of time and hard work. But the Wii U's tech is more or less the same as other consoles which have been out for 5 years, plus Nintendo made tonnes of cash from the Wii and DS. I truely don't understand what they are afraid of! I guess all they care about now are balance sheets and cost effiency. Bring back Sega! Bring back Shenmue!!!

@LEGEND_MARIOID That's what we pay developers for.

Nah, they're just watering down all the amazing franchises they created in the past to make a quick buck off of casuals.

My vote would go to internet curtains.

@LEGEND_MARIOID I'm only asking because you are positive about everything, even when the general consensus is disappointment. You wouldn't be the first guy, with a vested interest in the product, posting on this website in a similar way. But please carry on, if you are genuinely happy with the direction Nintendo is going in. Don't mind me, I was just checking.

It's all just too gimmicky, gives me a headache.

Also @legend_mariod are you a shill?

RIP GameFAQs

So third party developers can ditch the tablet and straight-up port games over to use this controller. Great! Just what all the Nintendo fans have been waiting for. This is a cop-out on Nintendo's part and shows that they do not believe 100% in their tablet controller.

@Sean_Aaron You supported Nintendo's efforts by buying The Last Story and then trading it in. So it's kind of like you erased the benefits of your purchase.

@a_Sniper Ha Ha. But you know the battery should have been flat when you turned it on.

@Marz In my part of the world it is not possible to get Metal Slug Anthology for 10 bucks, or 10 euros or 10 pounds, or 10 anything. So I wouldn't say it was bad journalism, maybe if it was only going to be published in your country, but this is published for everyone to read on the internet.

@Wildfire I'm glad to see other people feel similarly to me. It's been too long since Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth (My favourite WiiWare game) and I want another one! On my 3DS!

I know I'm in the minority, but I hope it's not a Symphony of the Night style game, but a Rondo of Blood style game. I hate all the levelling up, backtracking and item management. I just want to play a real Castlevania game!

Right now, I'm pretty much done with Zelda. I hated Skyward Sword and Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass. If they made another good dark Zelda like Twillight Princess it would perk my interest, but they would have to change the formula. Zelda today feels like painting by numbers.

All I really remember from GameCube's launch was Super Monkey Ball. Then by the time Mario Sunshine came out, everyone had PS2s.

Sounds good, but for 50 euros? I think it's very difficult to justify a purchase.

After playing the demo, I'm impressed by Rayman, but not sure if the 3DS version is the best. When there is that many colours on screen AND in 3D it makes my eyes a little squirly. Mario for example is much more cleary defined, so works well in 3D.

I did like it though with the 3D turned off. But I would reiterate what @mollutje said about the sound, it does seems glitchy, and to me, at little fuzzy.I do want this game, but have the suspicion that it's better suited to the Vita.

@Goron Ha

Followed by:

"Second is Mario Kart 64, perhaps SUPRISINGLY considering Super Mario Kart only reached 8th in the SNES charts."

@Obvious78 MP3 was truly awesome. MP3, Twillight Princess, RE4 and SMG, made a believer out of me... Until I got bored of waiting for more games and buying crappy games instead so I bought a PS3 like you. I'm also ready for Nintendo to blow me away.

That was good. I liked the part where you asked him how long he kept his excitement for the Wii, and he was like oh a long time, up until... (and I thought me would say last year)... I got a 360 6 months later. lol

@Malic I know man. The NES, SNES and N64 were so far ahead their competition, it's not even funny.

Let's not not get technical about this. I'm just talking about "Wii" (a lot of people know "Wii" and don't even realise it's made by Nintendo). In 2008 Wii was cool with the masses, it was a buzz word. Everyone was saying it; from celebrities, to the royals, to politicians, it got mentioned in films "Just playing some Wii", it was brought out during the Oscars ceremony.... and so on. Do you see any of those things happening now? No. It's time to scrap that stupid name.

So i'm not saying that Wii and Ipad are directly comparable. I'm just saying that those people who were saying "Wii" are now saying "ipad". I hope you understand my point now.

Maybe you're right, but "Wii" as a fad is over, soccer mums are now buying ipads. Also, a lot of Xbox and PS3 gamers, who would be in the market for a next-gen console, associate "Wii" with casual gaming. That's the main reason I'd like to see a new name.

Why? What's the appeal of playing Mario with a Mii? It makes no sense.

@Aviator You're right. I just checked it, and it looks rubbish compared to DOA 5.

Not much to get excited about. I wonder what Tekken it is? And I don't like the name New Super Mario Brothers. Mii. In fact, I wish they'd drop the whole "Wii" gimmick, I think Apple has stolen the "Wii market" anyway, and Nintendo needs to move away from that name.

I prefer to play my games sitting on an armchair or on the couch, not hunched over a desk like i'm putting together a model airplane.

The reason Twillight Princess performed relatively better is because everything , and I mean everything, about Twillight Princess was better than Skyward Sword.

The controls in Twillight Princess were better.

Nintendo gamers bored of Mario!? Just buy a Vita.

It was much better if you had a six button MegaDrive controller. Which I did, two of them
