Drop the deluxe by 50 bucks by the time pikmin 3 comes out.

They should have used mario kart 8 visuals for this game.

Mario Kart 8 was the most surprising, because it actually looks like it is trying hard to be impressive.

@emblem: i will buy both Pikmin 3 and TW101. Totally different gaming experiences, different art style, different everything, aside from the loose connection of controlling multiple things at once in its gameplay.

@citizen
Off tv play is all the function i need from the gamepad. Other consoles do not have that

the more i look at the game the more impressive it looks. there is a big difference between this and 3D land visually if you know what your eyeballs are looking at.

It will be an amazing game even though its kind of a disappointment that it wasn't an HD 2D metroid or Fzero

It boggles my mind that nowadays in the dew drinking dudebro hipster climate, a game like Super Mario Galaxy is considered "kiddie", and games with end of the world zombie death is "mature".

we live in a stupid time.

KILLER 7.

I'll take that story any day over TLOU. and it certainly is "mature".

No. Other companies should strive to match nintendo at their superior gameplay and fun factor achieved.

Will buy this version...a really like this type of platformer.

Can't wait...the 3DS is the best handheld ever (u can play DS games on it too ya know)

Perception is reality. Years of pachter bashing them along with hipsters and dudebro's believing everything they read on gaming websites have no clue about what nintendo is really all about.

Good price, will purchase

He always tweets stuff like that

I beat this today on Wii U. What an amazing game to hold up so well after all these years.

I had no doubt the 3DS would have a great library of games.

Same goes for the Wii U. Just wait....the Wii U will have the same article written about it after its been out 2 years.

Xbox One is backwards from the 360. Its even in the name itself, 359 levels backwards.

We cancel weddings in other parts of the world with "double-tap" drone strikes, guess it's only fair.

Wii U will flourish within a year

@TimLatshaw
yeah, i own all consoles, and like them all for their own reasons. Each console is not the same, but has their own personality. You have to adjust your mindset for each system, and in doing so, you can expand your enjoyment of gaming because you get a much wider spectrum of games to play.

@aaronsullivan true. but for me, these goes without saying and has very little to do with my overall enjoyment of the hobby. technology improves, and with improvements, there can also be more annoyances. it kind of balances out, and what always ends up mattering to me is how good a game is.

I never worry about framerate, glitches, or "performance". for the most part, those things can never destroy a great game, because great games are usually created with more care anyways.

I doubt that they are actually at maximum potential. there is always ways to squeeze more surprises out of a console, especially this early on. These kinds of reports have a tendency to get people worried or have a needless debate when really people USED TO just focus on which games were fun, and be thankful for what we got.

Sad that gamers care to even bother talking about "performance" of the console instead of how fun it is to play.

R.I.P. old school.

High hopes for an impressive 3D mario. Smg1&2 is a tough act to follow, but i know that team can make it great!

Brittany? Not a great nintendo-name....

This game holds up incredibly well. I couldn't put it down.

I remember the long road to beating the original Metroid back in the day and we always figured things out the hard way. Using our brains!!!!!,

@KodyWB-98
Some people have money to burn so we'll have fun with it again.

Everything and everyone is doomed so let's all find a new hobby!!!!

What is the price tag? I'll probably buy it just because i'd like to support such an awesome platformer. Really enjoyed it on the 3DS.

It is mind boggling that nintendo doesn't release retro versions of their consoles.
It would create interest and easy money.

@retro_player_22

U havent played dmc then. He's not emo at all.

Kk slider needs to be in the SSB4

Videogames. They are created, and then we buy and play them. That is it.

I've always loved WW. When it came out i played it twice in a row and got everything 100%. Played thru it again last year, and will be happy to play the HD Wii U version when it releases!!!!

I am still blown away that people were upset with the visual style that holds up as well as any style in gaming history, as well as why people were "bored" with the ocean....just shows some lack imagination!

There is tons of potential with miiverse. I hope nintendo can make the most of it.

You think too much about something that some of us expect in a first year of a console, and are not surprised or worried at all.

Its amazing how politicians/government are the purveyors of mass death on a consistent basis but point the finger at videogames.
What about the message they send when they solve problems by bombing weddings overseas with drones?

4gb that came with the XL. I buy physical copies of games still.

@trondood

U should get a bigger collection.

People that don't know that Wii U is not a Wii are just idiots. Sorry.

I could use a good shooter...

@Rawk_Hawk
Gamecube was amazing, so was the Wii. The Wii U will turn out great, i have no doubt.

These guys get paid for this?

Yeah, nintendo did a horrendous job with marketing, no doubt.
I think things will pick-up when games start to stream in and the price comes down a little. A great marketing campaign could also help in a big way. Nobody knows the thing exists, and if they do they don't know what it is.

Nintendo needs to market with more self awareness...poke fun at themselves, acknowledge the perception of the company from western gamers and make a meme out of it. Its very simple...hire me and i'll fix this right up for ya. Reggie and Iwata gimme a call.

If this game doesn't excite you, there are other hobbies you could get into.

@Kruger85

Most insane thing ive read all this week.

I agree that the commercials and overall presentation of the product has been absolutely horrendous.

Nintendo needs a different angle. Stop the cheese!!!!
Show what it does, mention HD, show examples of nice visuals, not just goofy fake families playing minigames.

Can't use the same approach they did with Wii.

Look how much the kevin butler commercials turned it around for the perception of PS3....nintendo needs a sense of humor, not fake hardcore and not fake family crap.

The newer generation is so sad. Ahhahahaa

@DerpS

wow, that is the most insane thing i've read all week.

Played the Wii version and loved it. Had no issue with motion controls, but won't mind the change for 3DS. Will definitely do the game 100% this time around.

Gamers seems to be schizophrenic these days. They complain about not having money, things costing too much, and then get rabid because they don't have 30 games to buy at once on a 6 month old console.

What happened to people? It's a serious question. I think people have lost it.

This is nothing new. Consoles have cycles, and obviously the first year is usually pretty darn BARREN. Even so, I have over 10 games for my Wii U, and i've enjoyed THEM ALL.

Sad to see that such a fun hobby has so much negativity attached to it every single day.
