All the Wii U has to do, from a technical perspective, to impress me is for the controller to show on screen action with no input lag.
The only issue that I see in the long run with the Wii U's power is the porting of third party games. Nintendo could see a similar situation as with the wii where games can't be ported from PS360 because of hardware limitations, which obviously limited the wii's software lineup. Though I suspect that even if the Wii U is only slightly more powerful than the HD twins it will still be in the same ballpark as I expect a more modest jump in power this time around for the competition.

where are your boxing gloves little guy?
I loved fighting as him in tekken 3 (and paul and true ogre)

I'll be going for the vita HD collection, but it's good that this 3DS version turned out good as a standalone game!

@47drift I think that would be a good idea. Especially because I was quite partial to the sonic advance games, as far as sonic games go.
Also, are you batman from minecraft awesome?

N64 multiplayer defines a large portion of my childhood. Everyday consisted of waking up late, playing with friends outside on a trampoline or bikes and such. After a few hours, go inside and break out the N64 with diddy kong racing battle mode or even better, in announcer voice SUPER SMASH BROTHERS! then of course go home when the sun starts to fall, eat, watch anime on toonami, then go back outside until bedtime(then stay up to some ungodly hour to watch adult swim).
And then repeat!

@corbs WOW. . .first of all, I guess my memory is failing me, I remembered the boss with a plaid shirt and a stocking cap! Also, that frame-rate is near game-breaking. I can definitely understand why you gave it a seven, though I still think that the entire package is such a great experience that I would still give it an 8
Also in my first comment, I didn't mean that the two games shouldn't be compared, but that the review process likely didn't start at a perfect score, with one point taken off for every fault. Though what do I know?
I do have a feeling that the technical bugs could be a result of the fact that (as far as I know) gaijin games has only one programmer. That's a lot of work for one man to port 6 games over to a brand new console in a short amount of time.

@Corbs I'm burning through the second world right now, I have noticed small little hiccups with 3d on, though you have me worried about the third world
I will be back to comment later tonight. . .as soon as I beat that darn lumberjack robot!

I'm not sure how you do your reviews Corbie, but I doubt that you start at 10 and start marking down for any issue in the games. I am surprised that the experience was brought down enough to warrant a 7, but that wouldn't, and didn't stop me from getting the game for myself
I would personally give it an 8 because the experience is still great for me, though multiplayer will be missed

I would really like a Tri g to be released for 3DS. If the same game were to be released for vita and 3ds, then I would just get the vita version, but with different games, then I would gladly get both for the different experiences.
also, here's hoping for cross game play between wii and 3ds versions(should they actually come out )

Just downloaded the game, and I am really enjoying it!
I just with that you could move on walls without having to jump, but that just adds a little classic difficulty that I sometimes miss

Super Mario World.
my favorite game ever, so this was an easy choice for me!

I sure this will sadly be $40 while ps3 and 360 will get the hd collection with mgs 2, 3 and peace walker. nintendo doesn't understand that remakes should be budget titles, this is why I won't buy OoT or SF 64 on 3ds when I could get them both on wii VC for $20

@ turtle and pixel, his shirt doesn't give me much hope

@james I agree with pix, it seems that you took the negative comments out of context for the headline, but simply reading his words and your analysis lend it to a fair argument.
I just wonder how many commenters here actually read the article?

The ngp, and the psp for the most part, have it right. offer most or all retail games as downloads along with the cheaper download only games, while still having retail games as an option.

great tagline

@4 you could always get a ps3 with move and join in the the movemodo fun

I think this would be almost reasonable if it releases with 2 controllers bundled and new controllers can stay between 60-80 dollars. The implications for screens in the controller could be great for multiplayer games, but the cost of it if they only include 1 controller will completely turn me away. . .at least for a few years

Please don't let this be true! Nintendo should be all about local multiplayer and party games, which would be VERY expensive if I'm buying controllers that are basically handheld gaming devices on their own.

I suppose that I need to go buy a 3ds now :/

It's a PUN, GET IT?!? . . . bahahahahahaha

I think that retail and digital download should both stick around for a good long time(see: NGP)
I also think he's contradicting himself by saying that nintendo is selling a $49 piece of plastic, while he is selling a 99 cent data code

Hey now, thats hurtful to Billy's tie. . .and his sauce

While I don't think it quite compares with this, there is Invisimals on the psp. I'd say thats a similar offering on a portable.

I think its important to note that the NGP didn't steal the touch screen from nintendo(they stole it from apple)
I was extremely pumped for the 3ds after e3, but after seeing the NGP, I've almost forgotten about it. I was disappointed with my ds lite and almost never played it besides pokemon. I feel that Sony filled the void after the gameboy was discontinued with the psp, which is great with me.

commenting on E3 on the live chat here on nintendo life
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH EPIC 3DS!

It was a sony christmas for me. . .sorry?

its like, pwuesshhh

Cool this is on my birthday, I would like a $199.95 price and a november release from nintendo please

@stuffgamer1, you can install full games onto any PSP,
I hope it has at least 16 gb of memory, my psp go is about 2/3 full with 16 gb, which is reasonable

in an interview, a rep said that kid icarus would be out for the holidays, which should mean that the 3ds will be out before the holidays

I thought that they should do a runescape style camera where you can scroll down to see a 3D image like this, or scroll up to play top down.
I just want the freedom of choice nintendo. . .

its not about the graphics, its about the features, where the wii severely lacks

but it is improving

This is amazing, the only monsters I recognized were the rathian, and rathalos, I really hope that the online will be great and that the classic controller pro sees a U.S. release, I CANT WAIT!

I would get this but I am saving up for water world, I can't wait

I care about the first generation, the second is over all well made, then it goes down a very steep hill with very rare pokemon that make since, or aren't rip offs.
I am very interested in the game, but not sure.

8/10
There was alot of collecting, but that was good in my eyes. It deserves better that a seven, but it wasn't the greatest game ever.

on my ps3, I have an account that lives in happy valley, hong kong.
I can buy all the japanese downloadable games, but I havn't gotten any yet, I just can't tell what they are saying

@wiiloveit
I just needed a sentence to throw out the hidden first, I've always wanted to try it.

This seems really interesting, I might be the first person at my school to get this

I broke out my old cart today, On brawl, I am the third best that I know at smash bros., but I am still champ on the classic
@ starfox, this isn't anything like melee, brawl is similar to melee, but this is a completely different game as far as multiplayer and control physics go.
It is better with the different physics IMO

Corbie, I think you should make the virtual console top 7

I just hope that he isn't talking about the wii vitality sensor

I just want the bundle with the controller and the game
I doubt the bundles will be coming to the U.S. monster hunter just isn't that popular over here.

Thank you chicken
this is my favorite game because it has the best levels, more powerful attacks (the grab moves actually do damage) and the Items are the best of all of the games. the multiplayer is king, and the single player is pure fun.

P.S. Kirby has strong attacks on this game <(o_o)>FTW!!!

I said it before, sony's controller is indeed a rip off of the wiimote, but there will ACTUALLY BE GAMES COMING OUT FOR THE CONSOLE!!!
I love my wii to death but the game selection is absolutely horendous.
I am a sony and nintendo fanboy, but I love my Ps3 much more than my wii because I have had very little reason to play the damn thing other than the virtual console.

I will take this opportunity to advertise. there are two shows on youtube called awesome video games and video games awesome.
they are hilarious takes on classic and new nintendo games. based on the nes and the wii respectively for each show.
I just want everyone to watch the show because I am sure that you will all love it

I do wonder what sony will do to let you move around while playing a game,
but with sony behind the wheel, we might actually see A GOOD GAME COME OUT MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR.
I love my wii but as for software, it is generally absolute crap.
there are not 10 retail games that I would buy on my wii.
I don't know if the sony wand will be any good, but I definately have very high expectations.

@MACHU
I got rock band a year ago, i practiced the drums and got really good, then i worked on real drums and now i am really good at them and i have a newfound interest in music, I am in a real band now and I wouldn't have had a chance if it weren't for REALLY FUN games like these.
