The question is why the jump from 1.xxxx to 5.xxxx? Where's the major features? The one that we know does not quality a version jump of that big.

The update took a while too. My WAG is that the functionality for MiiVerse is already there. Also maybe the OS footprint has lessened. Giving more RAM for future games. Also didn't they mention a new Find Mii with new hats? Its probably there now as well, and is just locked-in until a certain date (E3?).

I dunno, the version jump is just so big there should be some kind of major features in it. Not just some eshop features, save game copying and a new snazzy eshop font.

too bad. but thats the status quo of 3rd party attitude towards ninty.

also ms dedicated a dev team to port minecraft. i doubt ninty will do the same. everybody love ps4 thats why its a given it will go there.

if ever he does then he deserve it!

@GameLord08 all that glowing things you said now... that also happened for the Wii.

don't get me wrong, we're on the same side. I would LOVE AAA 3rd party to come for Wii U. BUT reality is, a lot are just hostile towards nintendo in general.

Expect more of this.

Wii didnt change 3rd party attitude towards nintendo. neither will wii u.

Nintendo should give away a free game with the update. That would make a lot update their firmware lol

Come on nintendo, increase the number of coins you can earn to 20!

Note, this is what 3rd party said about the Wii as well. 'Its a possibility'.

Well at least they're polite, I'll give them that.

Pachter again? We should ban topics about this guy.

He is a failure as a nintendo analyst, he never gets it right, always hostile towards nintendo, always troll, and there are way more object analysts out there than him.

This is just him trying to keep nintendo fans from making him irrelevant.

I want to believe this, but they've been dilly dallying about 3G for a long time that I think they are just being polite in saying 'No 3G for j00 lulz'.

And who is this new recruit and why is he special? What does he has that the previous guy didn't already say? Now I'm just thinking they are just keeping the interest there because frankly everyone's beginning to not care with MH. Then they realized that and said 'Oh crud. Quickly! Dangle a carrot!'.

It's like Super Meat Boy. I always think they deliberately used Nintendo fans to flog their game when in fact they weren't really releasing it for any Nintendo platform. <-- Just my stupid conspiracy theory self though.

I hope I'm wrong though. That would make me happy.

its already a given that the next wii console will be HD, what we dont know is what will nintendo do to make it unique. or maybe it will just make a really powerful console and be done with it.

of course nintendo needs to make sure it has a really rich online environment... maybe even abasements/trophies (i'm thinking they should call it medals and maybe link it to you club nintendo so you can claim prizes).

Sony bashed the wii-mote... Now they have the Move.

Sony bashed the 3ds... Soon the PSP2 will be naked 3D too... Touch screen, and dual screen too!

THIS is a prime example of how 3rd parties view Nintendo and Wii.

Worst, Nintendo can never win. If its HD, it won't be HD-enough. if its HD-enough, then its kiddie. if its not kiddie enough, then 3rd parties don't sell. etc, etc.

Pass. The core game is enough. And I'm not really into DLC, much less DLKs (downloadable keys).

I'm not sending SE any signal that what they're doing is fine for wiiware.

this is probably something that nintendo thought was a good idea of the time. so they patented it in case MS or Sony copies it.

i doubt this will actually become a real product.

Nah.

It outsold its other console counterpart and was outsold by the handheld version.

its just kotaku trying to sensationalize so they can get ad click-through.

SE's expecting 5 million, so its not 'there' yet.

Rubbish.

Last gen they had the chance with the gamecube... What did they say? Too childish.

Now they're asking for a powerful console.

most definitely next gen, IF wii hd comes, they will have even MORE excuse.

If they really want to, there's a way... If not, there's an excuse!

You guys should calm down.

Its from a blog thats less than 2 months old.

Not to mention that the poster is 're-verifying' the email response if it is indeed true. Which is kinda dubious in itself.

True or not, this information need more sources to be verified..

I find it disturbing that until now I don't know how poker is played

they need a better "gamelion" scene.

BleachFan888: tell him to sell it ASAP.

i'm tired of anecdotal people selling their wiis because of one reason or another.

just sell it!

so ironic since violence type of games gets a free pass (mostly) but if its sleaze its 'edit or banned!'

uh-oh.

i expect more wii hate articles (from other sites of course) to come in the following days.

nintendo is damned if they do, damned if they don't to them... but i'm glad 'they do' i.e. winning the console wars.

bet this game will cost 2k points and an addition 2k more for all DLCs.

I love this game!

this game had a couple of sequels and some of them are actually quite better!

I know this game is generally 'crap'... but during my time i had a blast playing this on the PC Engine... I guess that why I bought this, for nostalgia's sake.

I love this game during the famicom era!

though i was still living in asia then, so what I got was the pirated version

well, i've bought it now and part of my VC collection.

can you fridge the DLC or it can only be in the main memory?

i love this generation. its all about hating nintendo.

but rare was bought last gen!

if any, during the xbox they were still secretive! not during the 360 generation.
