Just a heads up - in the demo, if you finish the first shrine, the old man then tells you to get two more shrine orbs before he'll trade for his sail cloth. I don't think it's possible to get the sail cloth within the demo's time limit.

Bill's coolt hough

@rjejr In its defense, the game is 2 years old...

@JogurtTheYogurt actually, only 0.3% of wii u owners are playing the game. but if you do the math, only 0.5% of 360 owners are playing the game as well. the game seems to have performed poorly on every platform. that's without mentioning that the wii u version had zero advertising and that a large chunk of retailers never even offered the game for the wii u...

eff yes i would support this. noa needs to seriously hit up some of these japanese titles (looking your way too, project x zone)!

PEOPLE! There is a wireless headphone solution for your Wii U!! I have used them myself, and they are SICK! They were at E3 and have some excellent features! To say there isn't a wireless option is a lie, check them at!!!

here it comes now, y'all....

What's wrong with more stars for registering a game early? Mario Tennis Open is definitely not a bad enough game for this to be some marketing ploy to try and get more people to buy it.....

don't worry, it comes out for wii, ps3, xbox360, ds, and 3ds as well. it seems they are shoveling it on to whatever they can.

man, i was really counting on this game to fill the spring void.... sucks it had to be delayed. better be worth it!

Digital release? I wonder how much cheaper it will be, then...!

Look at what the man said. They aren't doing anything to improve how the game looks for Wii U. He never said it CAN'T do anything better, he just said they are focusing on adding features for the Wii U controller and not worrying about the technical upgrades that could be performed on the Wii U's hardware. People sure are going crazy about this quote, when the man hasn't even really told us anything!

On bestbuy.com it says the release date is 6/5/2012.... =/

@Maggots who the eff are you

Haha, wow! You guys totally jacked that 3DS/Gamegear photo from nintendoconnect! That's awesome!

"...lands with six augmented reality cards, but there'll be more than half a dozen available in the grand scheme of things..." Haha, it lands with six, but there will be more than six overall!

I think tons of games need to have abilities like this. Reward a challenger! What's the deal with DKCR time trials? Am I right?

Someone on another site had mentioned a new Mario Kart: Double Dash, where the person in the back could turn around with the controller and aim their item at other cars behind them or look back to see incoming shells or something. Don't know how you would switch spots with the person in front, but it kinda seemed like a good start....

@30 the wii is almost dead. it wouldn't have sold.

Unless the resolution is already on the disc, each game would have to be patched in order to up-res to 720p or higher. That's equals time and money. And upscaling isn't really even that big of a deal. Plus, if Nintendo just let all their old games play in HD out the gate, why would people buy Wii U games? They would drag out the sales of games we've already played and beaten for years now, Wii U software sales would suffer, and new games would be slower or less frequent to release. I don't want Nintendo spending time and effort on the Wii anymore. I want them to put everything toward the 3DS and especially the Wii U, and I want that thing to come roaring out the gate. New games, new experiences, all in beautiful 1080p. I don't want a reason to play my Wii games once the Wii U comes out.... unless I'm feeling nostalgic.

@Skotski
you couldn't have said it any better. read my mind exactly.

when did you guys get them??? i still don't have mine.... come on, nintendo of korea! why do we always get left behind...?

"penultimate" means next-to-last....

@31
i'm sorry, i was being entirely sarcastic in the first sentence of my post. every issue i listed was in regards to what sony is pulling with the ps vita. NOT nintendo or the 3ds!

@ 23
ign just does that when they don't have a firm date. kid icarus is slated for december 31, 2012! that can't be right at all.

@19
yeah, nintendo is horrible, and sony hasn't done anything wrong at all?
overpriced system, extremely expensive proprietary memory cards, lackluster launch titles, ridiculous 3g setup, limited backwards compatibility that isn't even all available come launch.... need i go on?

i miss pikmin sooooo much.... hope a 3rd comes out in pure hd soon! wii uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

OH, KOREA

actually, i think James meant to say:
"...but you can beat Capcom and Nintendo. Won't be quiet too long with the game down for release worldwide early next year."

i'm in the same boat. can't ever go back to dual analog fps....

i'm not gonna lie, i was surprised at how good it was.

i don't understand the huge fuss. should a second analog pad have been originally incorporated into the 3ds's design? absolutely. but to not buy the add-on "out of principle" is foolish and self-damning. why limit your enjoyment of something? why deny yourself full range of gameplay options? nintendo got the point. everyone complained about there being no second pad, so they are doing something about it. the size is the only real issue. don't complain about their current solution! it is probably the best thing they could have done. and all for $10.

i TRIPped on my BITs! saga beats

worth every penny.

dang it, too bad i'm adopted korean... these sound like some great deals

i love my 3ds and i want it to do well, so i don't care what people wind up paying as long as they keep on buying them. these stores are selling it at a price they've selected, so they are taking the loss, not nintendo. nintendo shouldn't be blamed for stores selling the consoles early or for those of us who got a double dish with the price cut AND the ambassador-ship.

@38
it's true, ign confirmed it with reggie this morning. anyone selling the system at a cheaper price before august 12th is selling it at their own expense, not nintendo's. i bought mine yesterday for a sweet $169 at my wal-mart, no hiccups or issues at all. and now i am ambassador status as well! which i do feel kinda bad about, but it's coming out of wal-mart's pocket! so i don't feel toooo bad.

ummm.... no.

(that is, in response to the question at the end.)

looks like they really jumped the shark this time...

@wallyobass12
ian just stated his one-sentence opinion. he wasn't shooting for a twelve-page critique, i'm sure...

i'm expecting this game to be kinda sucky. that way, once i get it, it won't matter how good it is or isn't! it'll still be better than what i had counted on! now that was it!

@18: no way, majora's mask was one of the most incredible games ever conceived and a fresh approach to the zelda franchise. you must not have gotten very far if you hated it so much.

haha, a club peripheral... imagine the possibilities!

STARFOX WII!!!!

disgusting. i'm a fan!

you actually can look at the operations manual of a game, prior to buying it, on the wii shop channel. i think it's available when you look at the details for the game.

wow, i'm surprised

rated "m" for "meature"

wow... namco museum is on every flipping system possible!
