It's insane how the Nintendo Switch cartridge is even smaller than a 3DS cartridge and it's 10000+ more powerful. We in the future!

Nintendo Switchii

I love this commercials.

So pissed off this is not coming not even to 3DS. Nintendo has literally mantained Sonic relevant all this years and this is how they say thank you.

Is sold out already?? Or I'm actually reading some comments here that preorders were live since last week and that's why is sold out already? Sighhhh

Masterpiece and one of the best if not the best 2D Platformer of all time.

This is extremely cool i can't! Ah man wish I could have been there I would have screamed and dancing like an idiot I don't care how ridiculous I would look haha. This reminds me of a Gorillaz concert. with the characters on screen and the live band playing on the backside. Huge props for Nintendo to pulling this kind of things. Hope they do something similar on the West someday!

I was honestly very dissapointed overall with Nintendo in 2015. Some reasons:

-Long game droughts both on Wii U and 3DS and several games launched being awful low quality spin-offs such as Mario Tennis and AC amiibo party that is nothing but a cash grab to buy amiibo. Something EXTREMELY unusual coming from a 1st party Nintendo game.

• Mediocre E3 announcements (despite the excellent presentation and format thanks to Iwata/Reggie/Miyamoto puppets and the Treehouse Live streams)
  Delays delays and more delays. Star Fox, Zelda U and heck even their mobile games since it was supposed to launch before the end of this year it was now pushed to March.
• Radio silence. No worthy announcements to look forward other than Bayonetta in Smash IMHO.

I just wish Nintendo the best of luck in 2016... they are REALLY gonna need it.

Modest? I would say disastrous sales instead. Too bad Nintendo on the UK is as relevant as... a flip phone.

NX delayed till 2020 now... Jokes aside. This is good news Both games are awesomeeee

Good. Both games are a joke. Worst holiday lineup ever. Fortunately, Xenoblade X is coming.

FINALLY! I was going mad over here. Now just we need a confirmation date of when it will broadcast.

Yes. We're literally desperate for a Nintendo Direct. 3DS and Wii U in particular are going to have their weakest holiday since each console was released and people have hopes that some game can be announced via Nintendo Direct and launched during this months so it can ease the pain of having pretty much nothing this holiday. Mario Tennis Ultra Smash looks cheap and monotone as hell. Animal Crossing amiibo party is nothing but a cash grab to buy amiibo figures wich are going to be a pain in the butt to get. The only decent game left is Xenoblade X but that game certainly will not make Wii U to fly off shelves.

Too early to say something about the topic considering we have seen NOTHING about their plans and the actual game(s) done by Nintendo for mobile. But I also agree that this is a desperate move by Nintendo considering just a few years ago they explicitely said they will never put Mario on mobile (The thing is, they said that when they were still doing big with Wii and DS). i just wish them the best on this new venture and hope they reveal their first game soon.

Judging by Aonuma-San comment's on the status of Zelda U, looks like they are somewhat pressured. It worries me he said "bit by bit" and "takes plenty of time" on the same sentence... What if Zelda U doesn't even make it to release in 2016?? Either way this game is going to be something else I can feel it.

Well, I had zero interest in this game to begin with so now my interest somehow decreased even more with this news. Now there's only Mario Tennis Ultra Smash left with the hope of having online multiplayer but I'm definitely not holding my breath with that. Keep up the good work Nintendo...

This is nice. I remember they wrote a nice Tweet dedicated to Iwata when he passed away. Nintendo themselves didn't post anything about it the NES anniversary yesterday... They simply don't care

I love Aonuma-San's sense of humor. Watching it right now the game looks great!

Yeah but we didn't get a Nintendo Direct this week No but really this is cool and I wish them the best on this new ventures with mobiles.

Wow this was very interesting! I thought the inside would look more... conserved? Looks normal on the outside but on the inside almost looks like an abandoned house. Pretty cool!

Who runs the NoA twitter account, seriously?? Every week they screw over something. Dissapointment after dissapointment with those guys it's not even funny anymore.

It's been one of the most frustrating years for Nintendo fans. For me at least, it's been like that. Game droughts (especially on Wii U, and especially in America, can you believe we still don't have freaking Yoshi's Wolly World??, I know it comes next week but I just don't even care about that game anymore), expensive products, stock issues (amiibo, New 3DS Xl... etc, etc.) I'm like about to give up with Nintendo because seriously this is not acceptable anymore IMO.

Plus, their weak E3 presentation this year and the fact that they have been dead silent since then increases my frustration. I think I'm going to stop supporting Nintendo with Wii U and 3DS and I'm just gonna wait till NX is revealed to see if at least looks like it will have future and it's worth to purchase. The only remaining game I will buy for Wii U it's going to be Xenoblade X and that if it doesn't become a nightmare to get. As you can see. I'm kinda angry with Nintendo right now .

NX can't come soon enough.

Yeah I thought a megaton had been announced but it was just that dumb tweet. Nintendo has gone total silence in terms of new announcements after E3 wich was long time ago and pretty much all Nintendo fans are eager -if not desperate- to hear new announcements. I'm one of them since I only own a damn 3DS and Wii U so every new tweet like that is certainly a reason to get hyped but knowing Nintendo, we'll always have to be ready to be massively dissapointed.

I just want new announcements of all the stuff they've been doing. They had announced nothing major since E3. I'm tired of reading through rumors and speculation and business stuff

Thank heavens I'm skipping this "game" and the amiibos. Too much money there is not worth it IMO. Starting by the fact it's for a game that nobody asked for in the first place. People who think the same should vote with their wallets and let Nintendo know that. And since I'm in America is probably going to be a nightmare to get the AC amiibos so yeah. I'm totally out. Looks like the only remaining game I'm going to buy in 2015 is Xenoblade X...

So this is the big holiday title from Nintendo this year? A monotone Mario Tennis game that will probably don't have online multiplayer. Sigh.

It's also to highlight that Link on that sign is brand new as well. Link never gets renders for generic advertising so this may be huge!

This is great! Day one purchase re-reconfirmed

I used to be a fan of AC but this spin-off games are a clear indicator that Nintendo is just milking this franchise to death since they know how popular AC is. Instead of taking their time to make a huge robust AC New Leaf sequel for Wii U, they made a stupid board game that nobody asked for and it was created only to sell Amiibo. Will skip all of that of course and since Star Fox 0 was delayed as well ... well, what an awful holiday lineup for Nintendo this year when we're supposed to have both Star Fox and Zelda. hah. Never gonna believe those vague announcements again.

This is awesome! I'm so looking forward to play his levels. In fact, I think Nintendo could make an awesome marketing campaign with this game. They could get big celebrities or even famous game developers so they can create levels for Super Mario Maker and everyone would be damn exciting like: "Omg I can't believe I'm playing an actual Mario Bros level created by Obama" for example. Hahah.

Wow!! This looks absolutely rad! I'm getting them all for sure. Hope they don't become difficult to get like dem amiibo,

Yeah If I remember correctly, Iwata said NX will be a third pillar on it's catalog of consoles and that will not replace Wii U or 3DS... so maybe NX is going to be something completely original and never seen before, and the actual Wii U/3DS succesors will be revealed at E3 2016....

"Hype under control" hahah I loved that. But yeah, after the big dissapointment that was Nintendo at E3 2015, I learned the lesson and I will never get crazy hyped for anything gaming related again. It's better to keep expectations low at this point.

Sigh... At this point, I'm pretty sure the damn NX is going to be nothing but a slightly enhanced version of Wii U and Nintendo is gonna call it: "New Wii U". Just imagine the meltdowns on the Internet when that happens, hahaha... *cries *

This is fantastic, you can clearly see how excited Miyamoto was by walking through the workshop. I just REAALLY hope they bring those puppets back for future Nintendo Directs. Just imagine Iwata's puppet announcing the new trailer for Zelda U haha it would be amazing!

Awesome!! I'm ashamed to admit that I was holding to purchase all of this SEGA 3D Classics (I only had Outrun and Sonic) until they got some kind of discount. Now there's zero excuses anymore. I'm buying them all now even Altered Beast haha! Thank for the heads up, NL!

#TeamDog all the way.

I'm a Wii U owner since day one and I've always been trying to stay optimistic about the future of this console but after last week's E3, I totally lost all the remaining optimism I had for Wii U simply because even Nintendo itself (judging from the upcoming games coming for the console) has lost all hopes as well and they just took the harsh decision to literally pack everything that it was due for Wii U (meaning, AAA unanounced titles such as Retro Studios new game for example) and move it into the next platform wich would be NX. At this point I'm not even excited for Zelda U anymore wich will probably be released in both Wii U and NX but that will probably happen in 2 more years at least. Gosh, I love my Wii U and the current library of games it has is amazing (Splatoon is currently my GOTY) but I have to say that I can't wait to move on to the next Nintendo system now.

Excellent writing and opinions as always! Meanwhile, I think I'm done with amiibo for the time being. The 8-bit Mario amiibo is going to be the very last one I will purchase (and only if it doesn't become a nightmare to get). I just spend almost $50 bucks on a Japanese Ness amiibo a few weeks ago and it's at that moment when I realized how crazy this addiction has become. I never had interest on collecting figures before amiibo and now I just bought a damn figure 3 times more expensive. That's just ugh. First and last time I'm doing it. The upcoming Animal Crossing amiibo look cool but thank god I'm not an AC fan to suffer on trying to preorder them.

The digital event itself was awesome and the puppet sections were super funny. The content announced there was the dissapointing part. Why the heck they spend almost ten minutes in such an important video showcase talking abou Yoshi's Wolly World when the game is coming in less than two weeks in Europe. Such a waste of time IMO (but the section was cute though) And also the amount of time they spend talking about how they developed the level 1-1 in Super Mario Bros instead of announcing more exciting stuff such as Fatal Frame localized or the fact that Star Fox is being co-developed by Platinum Games. Stuff like that was the reason most fans (me included) end up with an empty feeling once thee Digital Event finished and now just look at the results, all the dislikes on Youtube and the amount of people watching the Treehouse stream is looooow as hell. Last year they had around 10 to 15k people watching the stream everyday on Youtube at least, and just yesterday there was only 4k. Especially during the Chibi-Robo section it was below 4k, almost 3,500 only This clearly shows how bad the Digital Event was received.

This is awesome. I was already sure this was made by the muppets creators by a confirmation is always nice. IMO this segments were better than the Robot Chicken sections of last year. I've never imagined Nintendo and Jim Henson company working together <3

So not only the game looks really rough visually, but the gameplay is also kinda rough now? Not a good sign at all. I was optimistic saying that gameplay will make this game fun despite the not so attractive visuals and now I'm worried to read the issues it has with controls... Hope they work hard this upcoming months to polish the game as much as they can because what we've seen so far of this game has been average at it's best.

I don't care honestly. I haven't bought a FIFA game since FIFA 2004 on GameCube. Was really fun though.

Came into this article expecting lot's of stability puns. Wasn't dissapointed. Dat stability is necessary for dem E3 megatons!!

Now that STEAM didn't even charted on it's release week in Japan, we're probably not going to see a new IP by Intelligent Systems in another 20 years... I absolutely hope Splatoon doesn't bomb horribly like Codename STEAM considering it's releasing on a dead console. I love my Wii U and it's amazing library of games but right now the console is nothing but dead, especially in Japan. Last NPD numbers shown off terribly low numbers for Wii U and with nothing but Splatoon on the horizon (here in america at least because Europe is getting Yoshi's Wolly World in June), things don't seem to improve for Wii U at all. Sigh. I don't want to see Splatoon online to be a ghost town 1 month after release!! Pretty dissapointing 2015 so far, even more now that Zelda U was delayed till who knows when. E3 can't come soon enough to see what's new from Nintendo.

The only game that matters. Just Dance 2016!!!!1

I will not back/support this game then. I only have 3DS and Wii U so... At least will have have Yooka-Laylee

Insane!! Nintendo droping the bombs this year with this and the partnership with DeNA and Smarthphone gaming... Slowly but surely Nintendo is recovering from this last couple years wich is awesomeeeee. Mario Kart Go Kart attraction, F-Zero Speed Coaster... the possibilities are endless!

"omg a third party wii u game lolz!1" No but seriously this looks cool

Now all my hopes of seeing Sonic Boom 2 are crushed

Jokes aside... this is unfortunate and I hope SEGA recovers of this crisis

Less talk and more action. I'm about to give up on amiibo if this continues... I just want to go into my nearest retail shop and buy a Ness, a Rosalina and a Villager without problems like in most places in Europe, Australia and Japan... America is being amiibo's best market then why it took NoA this long to acknowledge that there's a problem and they are "Planning" to fix it somehow?? It is a very vague message indeed. It should have been using more encouraging and hopeful words such as: "We're working really hard to eliminate all this supply issues so please look forward to see restock of most amiibo figures really soon!" or something like that darn it.
