Topic: What did you think of the Nintendo Direct in relation to the Wii U?

I don't know, man. X is an RPG with giant robots that turn into motorcycles that also happens to be the sequel to the best JRPG last gen. I don't think you can really beat that.

Why can't they put the GBA games on the 3DS, I already have a few from the ambassador thing they did. Seems like a waste of resources but they know what they're doing what with the recent financial successes and huge third party support.

Roll on 2015 from DS games that would make more sense on the 3DS then on the Wii U, don't know if I'll have time for them though what with the AMAZING amount of VC games already on the Wii U including the numerous N64 games on it!

Eh... I dunno, combat looked a little dull.

I have to admit Little Mac was a great addition I think.

This not my personal opinion but maybe none of the games for Wii U excite these people and they see more worth in Titanfall and Infamous Second Sons and whatever else is coming out for the two and whats the problem with that not everyone has the same taste in games just like your friend who brought COD Ghosts twice its his money which he can do whatever he wants with.

@taffy the Wii U needs to sell more. The GBA and DS games being on the Wii U over 3DS is just their way to try and get those sales. It's an incentive, albeit a small one, it has over the 3DS to get buyers.
Personally, I'm not excited at all for the GBA games, but once they're here I'll be glad to finally play Super Star Saga. Especially now that my 3DS screen is broken.

You've clearly never played Xenoblade. Which makes sense, since it's freaking expensive now.
Trust me when I say it is the opposite of dull. It's strategic, fast-paced, and finds an incredible balance between the tactics of a turn-based RPG and the visceral nature of an action RPG.

He loked awesome and was kick serious butt, great addition in my opinion.

A MK8 bundle would likely move a lot of units.

They need it to be a mega console mover if they want 3rd parties to consider giving the console more support.

I'm guessing the next direct will give some info on June-September releases(if there are any) probably in March/April whenever Nintendo plans on going into more detail on their QOL platform. E3 will probably be where we see the fall/winter lineup.

Holy crud I didn't even realize his trailer used the classic Punch-Out tune in the beginning because I was squealing so loud. Just such a perfect way to start the Direct! :,)

The only regret to this direct is no Hyrule Warriors. I'm really looking forward to some bad-butt Link action...

I highly recommend watching the ND on the Wii U eShop. The live stream doesn't really do the presentation any justice in comparison.

You can't watch Xenoblade, or X, and get anything out of it. You have to play it, honestly. I'm not saying you'd think it was amazing, it just doesn't translate well to watching. While playing there is a lot going on, and with all of the new animations and battle styles with the mechs...it's going to be awesome!

Anyway, WiiU had a good showing. Bayonetta 2, and X, were the highlight...of course. Smash, well...how can you not like that? Mario Kart looks cool, but it's not high on my list. X is probably 2015, though. I am horrible at action games, but I just might finally get a WiiU for Bayonetta 2, if I don't hear anything about SMT X FE. I think that game is dead...

I don't get the portable console games on the WiiU VC, really. Just do not get it. I want Gamecube games....

Well that was a total disappointment... I'll get the big Wii U titles but every one of them is a game I'd blow through in a week.

X looks like garbage now. That was kind of a letdown...

Encouraging though. I know I can do better so if the games industry can just stay in this slump for a couple more years I'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

worthless opinion

It's looked the same for a while. Most of us knew what to expect when they announced it 2 months after Wii U came out.

Does anyone get the feeling Yarn Yoshi has become scrap material?

No. Just because they haven't said anything, doesn't mean it was scrapped.

That would be like saying Zelda U was scrapped, because they haven't even shown anything.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does that mean that its sound is non-existent?

Also, no. I'm not trolling you.

Its basically up to Bayonetta 2 and X to save the Wii U. Luckily I am beyond excited for both titles and have been watching the new footage for both games nonstop. Let those developers take as long as they need to make them perfect!

@Seandaddy Kind of hard for Nintendo to hype 2 Yoshi games at once, Yarn Yoshi and New Yoshi Island for 3DS...
