Bleh. Not a fan of paid DLC zo shortly after release, but probably will get the characters. Gotta wonder what 'Lady Hunk' is though.

Got this game reserved, picking it up the moment it's released over here in Europe. Can't wait, even if I already cleared the 3DS one 100%!

@C-Olimar Just because someone only wants a Wii U it makes them less of a gamer, huh? Yeah, makes sense. Maybe you ought to look up the definition of the word gamer sometime.

I am and always will be a Nintendo fan. If it makes me a 'fanboy' for not being interested in either of the other two big guys, then so be it. Won't be watching the Xbox reveal, nor do I think my interest will be raised when I do happen to learn stuff about it. I'll stick to my Nintendo consoles, thank you.

If EA makes terrible games they shouldn't complain that they sell terribly. I definetely don't need them or any of their games. If I want to play a soccer game I'll just pop in Mario Strikers or somethin'. Much more fun in my book anyway.

Mmmyeah.. first, give Europe Scribblenauts Unlimited. Then we'll see about this one.

Is everything depending on Kickstarter these days? It's kickstarter this, kickstarter that, kickstarter everywhere!

Are you serious? Eh, I never liked memes anyway. I just hope this doesn't keep the game from coming out in Europe at all anymore. (Why is that game still unreleased here anyway?! It was supposed to be here ages ago!)

If it was an actual limited edition Mega Man 3DS, I might have gotten it. But not a case.

Sorry Capcom.

I'm happy to see Earthbound getting a release out of Japan again (and in Europe for the first time too), but I personally would still like to see more of the Mother series as well. Oh well. If not, we'll always have Ness and Lucas in the Smash series.

I might actually get it if it does come out for the Wii U.

This game always sort of struck me as an odd one. Dunno if it's because of the controls but.. eh, I dunno. If they sometime rework the controls and physics of the game then this could be quite a fun game.

Still don't know what's so appealing about Star Wars. But hey, more options is always better.

I was going to buy it anyway, but I'll definetely try the demo first too when it comes out!

I was really looking forward to this, too....

Yeah.. not downloading anything on this list. Sorry Nintendo. Everything I would have considered, I already have on the Wii. So... no dice.

They should never have named it Wii U. I'm not sure why the 3DS is so succesful now, with its similar name to the DS, but it's definetely not working for the Wii U. There's just too many people who don't know it's a system seperate from the Wii. Everyone I know who could be classified as a 'casual' gamer thinks it's just a Wii upgrade. ( The uDraw tablet thingy and Wii Mini don't really help, either. )

I will make use of this nicely. Already have Luigi's Mansion and Monster Hunter, and will pick up Fire Emblem soon (stocking shortages right now) and Pokémon soon. Already have Donkey Kong on my Wii, not really interested in Castlevania and Lego City all that much, so my choice goes to Animal Crossing on this one. It's one of the few games I can live with being a digital download instead of a cartridge game.

Don't really care personally either way to be honest, I mostly enjoyed the 2D (topdown) GTA's. Don't feel much for the 3D ones.

@skjia I'm not saying they can't charge people for it at all. I'd be perfectly fine with it if it wasn't so expensive just for this 'upgraded' version (like I said, 30 cents would be more than reasonable, or even 50 cents, or simply 5 bucks to allow all games to be re-downloaded from the eShop). People who have purchased over 40 games will need to shell out more than 40 bucks to be able to play these with the added function, which is a bit much for games you've already purchased in the past. That's my problem here. I am one of those who made many VC purchases, and while I do want to have the added VC functionality, I do not want to shell out €1 for every title yet again for it. So in this regard Nintendo is not making any money out of me, personally.

@LavaTwilight There's smart business moneymaking, and there's dumb business moneymaking. This is definetely a dumb way to make money. They're basically kicking their long-time fans (or at least fans from the Wii era) in the nuts, and this stuff could possibly drive people away from them, which in the long run would cost them more money than it would make money for them. This is because of the competition they're up against. Look at Sony for one, if you download a retro title there you can play it on both the PS3 AND PSP (not sure about Vita, just going by a friend's experience). This is one of the (very) few things I like Sony with more than Nintendo.

@craigmoss19 This isn't your avarage upgrade, this is simply re-offering the same game for one of their download services and making people pay for it yet again, even if it's not full price again. The only thing added to the VC titles this time around is the addition of save states (or rather -a- save state), and off-TV play. I'd gladly pay again for a game if it would add certain game-specific added content, but this is a simple upgrade that goes for every single VC game, which doesn't justify making people pay for this stuff again. Like I said before, they should have priced them at a maximum of 30 cents for a re-download, or have us pay 5 bucks to be able to re-download every VC purchase we have made on the Wii in the past. That would make so much more sense and people would not complain about that nearly as much, AND Nintendo would still make money out of it.

@craigmoss19 You can say what you want but people who have downloaded the Wii versions SHOULD be able to upgrade their games for free on the Wii U (provided they transferred their Wii VC titles to the Wii U). As mentioned before, we payed the same as the ones who make the purchase on the Wii U, and now we have to pay extra for the Wii U features. It's rediculous and to me one of the dumbest things Nintendo ever pulled off.

I know Nintendo is not a charity case, but it's still rediculous. At LEAST make it so that the titles can be downloaded for 30 cents a piece or so, that would be tons better already and Nintendo would still make money out of it. I'd re-purchase all those titles again if this would happen.

Bring on the update!

As for VC titles, I still wish Nintendo would just make all the Wii titles available on Wii U and not make us purchase them for a second time. Even if it's for a reduced price. Because everyone who's purchased a lot of them will still need to dish out a lot of money for the Wii U VC versions in total.

As for unreleased retro games, of course Yoshi's Island comes out on top no doubt!

Definetely THE best news of the entire Nintendo Direct! <3

Finally sort of a date for this update. Also, I wonder how much the Panorama thingy will cost. If it costs anything more than €10 I probably won't be getting it.

It does seem to suggest they're working on a new F-Zero, but it might be a new Fast: Racing League game too (that very F-Zero-ish game). And even that may be a stretch.

Wishful thinking, I'd say, even though I really hope for a new F-Zero game.

I may get this after all, just to support the people who actually put their heart and soul into developing this title. But not for the people who made the dumb, DUMB decision to port this to the PS360 and get the Wii U version delayed so much.

@HeatBombastic They're announcing lots of games with these 3DS Directs too though, even if they're just budget downloadable titles. They could at least share a little more info on some of the announced Wii U games.

Much as I love the 3DS, the Wii U needs one of these a hundred times more right now. Why doesn't Nintendo see that?

I'll still get this one. Haven't even finished the first one yet but I love the setting and whatnot.

Pity, this game seemed like a perfect download title. Oh well.

They really shouldn't start making a habit of delaying games so shortly before release... No matter how small of a game it might be.

Yarn Yoshi by far!

It very much is a glitch, due to how Link's bow is flipped towards him for only a single frame. I know a few more. Zelda has sort of a similar glitch in Brawl where during her down smash, her arm twists to appear broken for a single frame. Olimar goes into a so-called 'T-pose' the moment his Pikmin Chain (up-B) hits the edge during his recovery. Some characters in Melee actually enter the match in such a T-pose too.

It's just that gameplay happens so quickly that that one frame is hardly noticable, although you can see it with a lucky pause or if you go to Training Mode and slow down the gameplay. It's a simple animation glitch. Link's glitch just happens to have a bit of similarity to something in real life.

Definetely downloading HarmoKnight! Already have both RE games as retail copies, and gonna get Luigi's Mansion as a retail game as well. Downloading the Fire Emblem demo too of course, as well as the Transfer Tool- even though I'm not sure if I'll be using that.

MUST HAVE! ..okay not really. Good for the youngsters among us though. Certainly didn't expect this to get an 8.

I immensely enjoyed the 3DS version, and I already did plan on getting the Wii U version as well, even if it was pretty much the exact same as the 3DS one but with HD and local multiplayer added. The new stuff added just makes it a day one purchase for me. But hey, that's just me! I know not everyone's ready for a second dive here with what it offers.

I didn't really expect this one to do so well. I might have to get it after all at one point. Glad to see the Wii U did get another great game to help it in its tough times!

So, why doesn't he just play it on the Wii U then? That has two control sticks. And if he doesn't like the second screen, well, he doesn't have to look at it. I don't see what's there to rant about, seems to me like he's bashing the DS line just for the sake of bashing.

This thing is too expensive for what it offers when you compare it to the ''big'' Wii. At MOST is should cost 80 bucks. And the very least they could do is include Wii Sports in there.

Not a big fan of realistic racing games but I may get this just to show support for 3rd party games! Does look like it could be fun.

I hope that it'll have split screen for Raid Mode, too. This is an awesome game and I really hope to be able to play this with a friend locally!

Also great that Rachel gets to be playable this time around, it was kind of odd that she wasn't in the 3DS version, being the only unique character not to be playable. It'll be odd killing Rachel with Rachel though, but the same could be said for a certain other character in the game (without spoiling stuff).

The Wii U will pick up at some point. Maybe it won't outsell the competition this time and sell units close to the amount the GameCube did but that's in no way a failure I'd say. Later on this year it will start selling more and more.

Brawl's online wasn't perfect but I still got tons of enjoyment out of it, especially playing with oversea friends. I'll certainly enjoy that again in this next SSB game, no matter how it turns out!

The Giana Sisters are still alive huh? Hehe, I think it'd be funny to see them in Super Smash, just to be able to have a Brothers vs Sisters fight. (I know they won't be there and there are other characters I'd rather have anyway, I'm just sayin'~)

As for this game, I'll most definetely pick it up. I actually enjoyed the original back then (mostly due to its similarities with Mario), and the DS game as well. Just hope Maria returns in this one. The DS game was really just Giana DS, since there was no sister anywhere to be seen.

I have an Action Replay! I'll certainly try this out sometime soon.

@shake_zula If this game is like the 3DS version you can choose to play in first-person mode. Though I personally Prefer third-person myself.

I will certainly give this difficulty a try sometime!

I don't mind if single-player games have some connectivity, but I feel like it would ruin the experience in some cases.
