I have a lot of friends who have no idea what a Wii U really is. These are the same people who have Wii consoles, but they are not "gamers". The reaction I usually get is, "You have a Wii-what?" When I show them, they typically think the Gamepad is just a special controller for the Wii. This really is a console that can appeal to anyone; they just don't know it exists or what it does.
On a side note, I always have a blast playing Nintendo Land with my gamer-friends and my "i-dont-get-videogames"-friends.

My friend is currently working on playing all of the Zelda games in chronological order. He hopes to time it so that when he reaches Wind Waker, the HD version will be available. (He's currently on OoT. He wants to do one timeline at a time, replaying the ending of OoT each time.)

@Mode7 I think it looks like a Bugs Bunny game on the NES. It was called 'Crazy Castle' or something like that. (Of course, you could be right. I'm not sure.)

EEEETZ LEETLE INFERNO JUST FOR MEEEE!!

Graphics aren't everything. Proof: SNES is the greatest console of all time.

Now if only Wii U has connectivity with the 3DS for the purpose of viewing 3DS games on a TV.

AWESOME!!
Oh, the possibilities...

I already have the DSi port of Rayman. Does anyone know if there is a reason for me to buy this one?

"Two heroes and Robin"
Harsh. I happen to like Robin. (And by "Robin", I don't mean Chris O'Donnell. I mean Dick/Jason/Tim/Stephanie/Damian.) Robin is a hero.

I woke up this morning and got ready like I always do.* Then I realized, "It's Thursday! It's Nintendo Download Day!" As I went to pull up the site, I thought to myself, 'Well, it'll probably be lame...no, wait, I've decided right now that when I go to NintendoLife I will be totally blown away by something cool and amazing and unexpected, like Warioland!' I proceeded to read this article...
Such is the disappointment called my life.

*See the lovely Tanooki suit I'm wearing.

@RantingThespian Yes, please!

I've been saying this for so long. I agree with this 100% and like some of the ideas for new play mechanics.
@Joshers744 I would also love to see a return to Dinosaur Land. A new 3D platformer on Wii U set in the world of Super Mario World would be incredible.

In regards to the artstyle, I think that if you take good close look at the available screenshots (I say "available" b/c Nintendo will yet blow our minds further), there is a unique feel to some the smaller details. This is especially true of the backgrounds. I believe we are in for a beautiful treat.

@Cloudcult10 HOLY ADAM-WEST-HEADSHOT, BATMAN!! I am EXTREMELY envious of your avatar.

@Zach EEEEEEEEEE!!
(Here's hoping that LEGO signs a deal with the BBC)

@TokyoRed Hence my first comment. Plus, LEGEND_MARIOID is correct.

@shingi_70 I'll give you that. One on one, sudden death match with no planning or preparation, Superman wins. Typically though, Batman would catch Superman off guard with a well thought-out surprise attack.

@shingi_70 While I agree with you that yasha is wrong in calling Supes "weaksauce," Batman would beat him. Superman once gave Batman a kryptonite ring to use against him if there was ever the need. In fact, Batman is the one superhero that could take down the entire JLA.
@yasha Supes is not "weaksauce." Batman would still win. He's just that awesome.

I've pre-ordered and payed off my copy of MK7. As soon as I pick it up Sunday, I'll join all three (I think "all items" will be my favorite). I'm looking forward to facing off against James sometime.

Haha..."bumper crop." I get it.

@Corbs Out of curiosity, is there any specific reason why it missed a perfect score by a point?

They need to do more stuff like this in Washington state. I mean after all, NOA is based here.

BTW, is anyone else around here a HISHE fan?

Just finished paying off my preorder yesterday. I traded in a bunch of stuff and put the value towards my preorders on SM3DL & MK7.

@KingMike I am unhappy about that though.

I'm surprised more people aren't happy that Pyramids is out here. I'll be getting that one.

@13, @31 Ditto, to both of you (at least as far as Kirby & SMB3 are concerned; not a Kid Icarus fan myself)
Kirby's Adventure & Kid Icarus probably weren't ambassador games because they planned on making them 3D Classics. Imagine how mad we'd all be if these had been ambassador games and then the 3D ones came out.

I know they won't, but it would be cool if you could make your own custom Mystery Boxes.
