Aggh, another great bundle... Another -sigh- of "why I buy Wii U on launch day?". Oh well.

Wonderful just wonderful! This game is like a combination of the best of the best in past 3D Mario Action games. The stages at the end! (Spoiler alert: THEY LOOK EPIC and nothing like we've seen on a Mario game before and I love that.) Yes, Nintendo EAD has done it again. What I'm most looking forward too is to hear the soundtrack of this game.

OH MY GOD! The orange one!!!1 It looks so damn awesome! If you bring this to America, Nintendo, I would buy three!

As always, mixing thoughts. Some people like Wii U more because here you would not have that much motion gameplay that a lot of people hated on Wii. I personally don't mind and I really liked those games that used strong motion controls such as Skyward Sword, Wii Sports, etc.

I believe Wii U would do great once their biggest franchises start to appear, it has the best of both worlds considering is compatible with Wii and all of it's controllers but also it has that traditional gameplay that lot's of people consider just for "hardcore" gamers, so it's a win/win, and I'm glad to read that in some parts Wii U is starting to sell more since the price drop and release of Wind Waker HD and this is just gonna increase once Super Mario 3D World releases and the big 3rd Party games that would follow and then, start a 2014 with top-notch quality titles such as DKC: TF and Mario Kart 8.

I love the funny and sometimes even sassy comments Mr. Sakurai leaves on every image. He must be a really cool person in real life.

I would be so dissapointed if this doesn't come to America. It's so cool!!

We don't have to worry about the lenght of the game. All Zelda titles are long and I'm sure this is no exception. Most people say Wind Waker is short and some people say is the longest... it's all depending in how they play. Since I like to always take my time to play videogames (you know, admiring the details, walking instead of running, etc.) It would be a long game for me.

YES! YES!! Now it's definitely time to upgrade my original 3DS for this XL model! I was going to get the 2DS but Zelda XL wins all the way.

I want it!! I just hope to see some special editions like this here in America.

@Tsuchinoko Well it's true, the 3DS is in a totally different market and stuff, but let's just hope 3D World can do something good for Wii U, sell a lot and it can stay in good position till the next batch of big games like DKCTF or Mario Kart 8.

I'm starting to worry about Wii U ( But hey, this is predictable, no games coming for Wii U this week and Wind Waker just loose all the impact of being a new release. Sigh, let's hope it recovers with Sonic Lost World and from there till November with the release of their savior/hero of the year: Super Mario 3D World. That game for sure it would save Wii U just like it did with the 3DS with 3D Land.

Agh. I was hoping this was coming to America but looks like now even the UK isn't getting that chest. It looks so cool

Great interview! Too bad we still have to wait 2 more weeks in America

So here we go! The next-gen nasty competition of consoles begins. Either way, I wouldn't buy a PS4+Vita to replace my Wii U. Wii U and the Gamepad works together natively and extremely well. I'm sure PS4-Vita would have tons of bugs, doesn't work together natively and of course the high price that already has doesn't look attractive at all.

Look at the floor on the first image!! Bump mapping at his best! And just when I tought Galaxy graphics were the best on any other Mario game, this looks 100x better and in HD! November 22 can't come soon enough with this game and A Link Between Worlds!

Great! I would get this for sure.

Wait, Sonic Lost World on friday!? Can someone tell me when it's coming to America? I've read that the 22 but then I read it was delayed one week til 29, but now I'm confused.

Pokémon X/Y are like our GTA V. So glad both are perfoming soooo well, looking forward to see how develops in America and Japan.

This is exactly how I want it to be!!. This just increased the hype on me.

This looks fantastic!! What an awesome way to start the weekend. The addition of the new world, and this new characters makes me feel that this game would be loooong and I love that! November 22 would be such an epic day for Nintendo, with this game and Super Mario 3D World on the exact same day!

Looks like Zelda U it really would be something HUGE! and different so I love that. I trust in U Aonuma-san and team.

This is cool I might actually get it eventually... I don't know, what if by the time of this release, Pac-Man gets announced for Smash Bros as well? It would be awesome.

8 hours! well that's a nice improvement of battery life! I would order this once it hits America because sometimes I spend a lot of time just navigating and commenting on Miiverse so I get the red light on the Gamepad very frequently.

And this is why I continue supporting Nintendo. They stablish new concepts never seen before and literally most companies laugh at them at the beginning... and a couple of years later everyone is using those concepts on their products as well (Kinect, PS Move... and that ugly fighting game from PS like a Smash Bros rip-off, just to name a few) This is the reason why they have been relevant on the industry for more than 30 years, and in that time-lapse companies have come and have gone... and Nintendo is still here and it would be here for a while

Idk I think it's cool, Like back on the N64-Game Boy Color days with plenty of different color models available.

Yes, the 3DS XL is selling like pancaques (or in this case, like sushi) in Japan, they don't need the 2DS at all! My god and this is just the beginning, with Pokémon X/Y releasing next week, I believe Nintendo literally is going to run out of 3DS to sell! Wii U on the other hand... : / but it's so great to know that games are slowly coming, Super Mario 3D World is the one who would save Wii U though.

After Super Mario 3D World, Watch_Dogs is my second most anticipated game this holiday... My main concern are not the graphics but rather a good an stable game on Wii U considering that this is a HUGE sandbox game, so I'm glad the Director is very aware of this and the possibilities with the Gamepad. Either way, Wii U is a little powerful console. Maybe a couple of low-res textures here and there, less fog in some areas, less polygons on the characters and voilá! Wii U is not so weak as most people think, remember that tech demo video when the console was announced, and the Legend of Zelda graphics demo.

Nintendo has the most enviable library of retro games ever... and they barely release some of those epic SNES/NES games. It would be great if they release A Link to the Past so we can play it before A Link Between Worlds... I hope they do that.

@WaveBoy Amen!

Here in Mexico is selling a lot as well. The price-drop is helping tremendously, even though here is not so cheap as in USA but still, so glad because this country is literally a Xbox territory (unfortunately : / )

The one with Mario, Sonic and Mega Man! When I saw it the first time, my jaw dropped! It's just unbelievable amazing to see the three most iconic videogame characters officially on a single image.

It's amazing how with just a single (but awesome) 2+ minute trailer, this game is now the most anticipated holiday game from most people, even to those who are still skeptical about buying a Wii U or not! I never doubt of this game and the development dream team wich is EAD. I have a feeling that this game would have more freedom than Galaxy 1 & 2, starting byt the fact that here you can freely rotate the camera like in Mario 64 or Sunshine, and it would have even more secrets and levels to unlock than Galaxy, the power-ups, the top-notch level design, the music! (that jazz piece on the trailer is just BRILLIANT!) the graphics, seriously they look like if they were made by Pixar... and in HD! I can't imagine how beautiful it would look on screen. Less than 2 months, I can't waiit!

Well, at least now it would be a brilliant collection piece of hardware for fans. Maybe later in the future would cost thousands of dollars

I already have the Ganondorf Figurine edition and it's AMAZING! I also love the cover of the game, the golden area is like an hologram and makes Link stand out very beautifully, it's not just golden color all over it. Details like this are the reason of why I'm still buying physical games.

Good-bye Animal Crossing. I have to leave in order to play Pokémon X/Y... but I'll be back for Halloween's eve I promise! Great review, now I'm even more hyped to play it!

I'm soooo glad Mr. Aonuma is thinking this way, this just means the new Zelda U would be like starting over but in a good way. It could be the greatest creation of Nintendo if they do all of that properly. I remember I read almost since the reveal of Wii U that the new Zelda would be the biggest (and expensive) Nintendo game ever created... * drooling *

Hey but Wind Waker on 7th place is not bad at all considering there's still not a huge Wii U users base! I believe it would do better in Europe and America because of the price-drop. Let's hope next week can be higher, this game and Wii U really desserve it. 3DS on the other hand... it's higher than the Mount Everest! And is going to be even higher with Pokémon X/Y next week. Damn!

Dat Super Mario 3D World trailer though... It's now my most anticipated game this holiday!

I would get it on oct 12

I've never doubt of Nintendo with this game! They never dissapoint with their biggest franchises! This trailer looks 100x better than the original E3 trailer and now november 22nd is my most anticipated day of the year. This game and A Link Between Worlds, BOTH on the same day!!

I think this is great. It adds a more freedom vibe to the experience almost like if it was an open world/sandbox game.

@SanderEvers Fortunately (and surprisingly) the Gamepad has a sensor bar built-in! It's right in the area around the Gamepad camera. I try it myself playing some Super Mario Galaxy 2 there and it's great! It doesn't look stretched, it looks nice and smooth and the sound is pretty good as well. It has a lot of little changes and improvements this update. The biggest IMO since Wii U launch. Let's hope Nintendo announces good stuff to go together with this update tomorrow.

I love Nintendo Directs! hopefully we can see new footage of Super Mario 3D World, is my most anticipated Holiday game and we haven't received any news of that game since E3 and it's less than 2 months left for it's release... also, Flipnote Studio 3D, A Link Between Worlds/Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze info and what I'm most looking forward right now, the Wii U Fall update and the addition of N64/GBA games on the Virtual Console!

We know Wii U is weaker than PS4/X1... but that much? Or maybe it was just a lack of attention to improve performance from the developers in the AC3 port on Wii U last year? Glad they are aware of this now, hope they can improve that, especially with Watch_Dogs since is my most anticipated 3rd party game for Wii U.

That's a lot of money for just 4 days left though... It would be awesome if they could reach the goal. I would buy the Wii U and 3DS versions in a second!

Comfort is exactly what I'm looking for on a handheld and it's great to read that the 2DS does just that. My hands get sore after I play for long periods of time on the original 3DS and I always need to take a 1 to 3 minute break. I think I would give the 2DS a try

The 3DS is in the same pressure of having tremendous competition with Vita... and more importantly with Smarthphones and tablets, and look how good is doing the 3DS now. Wii U would be fine on it's own.

I don't think Miyamoto would retire anytime soon. Remember that he is working on a new IP and it would be revealed next E3! well let's hope that's true but still this method of leaving the direction of their big creation to other people and still make awesome games is a good sign of how talented the people at Nintendo is. Either way, Miyamoto is a legend!

And this is still WITHOUT Pokémon X/Y... Impressive! The truth is that the 3DS is such a great handheld overall, fantastic library of games either retail and on the eShop and there's still a couple of years left of awesomeness.

This was very nice of them... Too bad they lost the game though :/
