I don't know what to think. This changes everthing.
I had in mind to get the bundle with the controller, so I would have another GameCube controller..... TO ACTUALLY USE IT! But if it is only for Smash Bros, then I think it would be smarter to get a Wii U Pro Controller, that would work with more Wii U games, other than Smash.
I would get it if the GC controller is supported for playing other games, like VC or even more. But if it is only for Smash, I'm not really interested. I'd rather get a Wii U Pro Controller in that case.
I just got my 3DSXL last November. I got the A Link Between Worlds bundle, and I just got my system a big Class 10 16GB SD Card.
So, I don't think I'll upgrade, at least for now, but only because of money issues. I'm gonna be so bankrupt this season...... there are lots of awesome MUST-HAVE games coming in: Super Smash Bros, for 3DS and Wii U, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate..... OMG!
....... I LOVE Xenoblade Chronicles, I'm a HUGE FAN, and I would love to play that game again on 3DS, but I just don't think I can afford to get a new system right now.
If I start making more money, maybe I'll get a PS4. But for this generation, I have my Wii U, and I'm just catching up with portable gaming. Got my Wii U in January 2013, but just got a 3DS in early 2014, and this one being my first portable console ever.
I never got to play Super Princess Peach, and to get a copy nowadays is kind of a rare thing. So, having Super Princess Peach as the first DS title for Wii U Virtual Console would be really cool.
Yoshi is at least related to Dinosaurs. If you read the opening from Super Mario World you'll see that Mario goes to "Dinasaur Land" to rescue Princess Toadstool.
"Mario went to Dinosaur Land to rescue Peach from King Koopa. On his way, he sees an egg. Curious, Mario opens it, only to reveal Yoshi. " http://mario.wikia.com/wiki/Yoshi_(character)
Too bad I'm a huge fan of Toad. I like his handling, but his overall Speed cannot increase more even with Slick tires.
I like fast characters, because..... of course you want to win races. But, the Heavy 3 character have very poor acceleration and handling. I think I'll be switching to the Heavy 1 characters.
I'm loving the new Zelda's appearance. Her clothes looks like the tough Zelda from Twilight Princess, but her face is looking cute like in Skyward Sword.
Nintendo tries to capture the younger audience, but what little kids really want is the new Call of Duty on PS4. On the other hand, adult gamers want the new Pokemon Alpha/Omega..... crazy world!! xDDD
I had a home accident once, and broke the Gamepad's screen. Had to get a new one, because the LCD screen enden up with 80% of dead pixels. It cost me 80.000 chilean pesos (around 190 US Dolars), so do the math.
Also, I read on some other website that, when synchronizing two Gamepads, the frame rate would drop to 30Fps. I don't know how they're going to solve those issues.... They must figure out a way to boost the system and make Wii U more powerful to support two Gamepads at once.
I'm totally getting this game too! But I wonder if it would come as a standalone game, or as Downloadable Content for Super Mario 3D World and its price would be lower......
I'm from Chile, and let me tell you that FIFA and PES series, are the top sellers for PS3 and Xbox 360 here. But everyone who plays online, create USA accounts because for many Latin American countries the eShop benefits (or PS Network in the case of Sony consoles) or the access to buy is NOT available. So, we create american accounts and buy prepaid cards with dollars.
It was really hard for me to send a vote, but I ended up giving my vote to Mario Kart 8, but only because I waited a whole year for the game, and now that I have it, it's like a dream come true.
But this is proof that Wii U has some awesome games in the catalog, specially the Wii U first party titles. Also, I'd like to recognize that the game I played the most so far, is Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Back in March 2013, there wasn't too much games to play on Wii U, but I ended up playing around 600 hours of MH3U. The online multi-player is awesome and always keeps me coming back to the game. MH3U was my entry to the series, and now I'm really hyped for MH4U on 3DS or maybe a western release of Monster Hunter Frontier G for Wii U.
Mario Kart is racist??? Seriously!?!?! Most of Nintendo games and characters are fantastic.... that means they are not related with reality.... C'mon! This is like blaming Nintendo for being a Japanese company.... it makes no sense!
Very good ads... also I like the slogan: "Insanely tested on Wii U for flippin' fun".... because... surely the developers of MK8 did test the game A LOT.
Nintendo should make more HD remakes, just to increase sales. Look at Zelda Wind Waker HD! That game is awesome, and sold a lot. That was the first one, and I hope that is not the last one.
And I don't really think the Wii U is a failure. I do think, that people just don't care about the Gamepad, and prefer super-high definition graphics and power of PS4 over the Wii U's graphics. However, I still haven't met someone who regrets buying a Wii U. I think it is a great console with a lot of great games in the catalog and deserves more attention (Nintendo is failing at advertising).
Super Mario Kart: Toad. I like him because he's lightweight, but not as light as Peach or Yoshi, and not as middleweight as Mario or Luigi. Koopa Troopa has equivalent specs, so I can ride with him as well.
Mario Kart 64: Toad. Same thing. He feels just as light and fast as Yoshi or Peach, but a little more stable.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!: Here I like Toad, Baby Mario, Diddy or Baby Bowser. I like lightweight characters on Double Dash, and always choose a combination for Special items matters. If Toad is unlocked, I go with Toad, for the Golden Mushroom Special, and then I choose another lightweight character.
Mario Kart Wii: Toad, or any other lightweight character on the Magikruiser bike.
Mario Kart 7: Toad, with the Bruiser kart body, Mushroom tires and the Swooper glider. That's my favorite combination.
I think this update is good to prevent spamming. However, sometimes my friends are asking for help in some games, and to help them it usually takes me about three consecutive posts to tell them everything that's necesary.
So, I don't like this update. Maybe 1 minute would be OK, but 3 is too much.... and Miiverse is already slow! 0_o
@zool The Gamepad is awesome. I think the wheel on that pack is for Multiplayer. There are only a few amount of players that actually use motion controls for Mario Kart.....

Re: Eiji Aonuma Wants Mario Kart 8's DLC Master Cycle In Future Zelda Games
Maybe Zelda Wii U is one game.
Then, maybe Aonuma would make Zelda Wii U 2, and this other title will be futuristic and Link gets to ride this bike.
Two Zelda games for Wii U, would be awesome!

Re: Limited GameCube Controller Edition of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Comes to Light

I wish the Wii U had a commercial as good as the GameCube's.

Assasins Creed 3 and 4 are less expensive for PS3/XBOX360.
