It's kind of too late for this IMO, even if Apple releases an official button attachment for iPhones and iPod Touches, over 90% of game apps that use button substitutes wouldn't be updated to be compatible with it.
Nintendo should've hired the maker of this instead of shutting it down, then he could've done a port of it to the Wii U and it would've been very well received. Ninty's turning down free money.
I was originally going to buy Mario Tennis Open back in May 2012 until I found out it's online was regional, so I skipped it completely. I was actually over the whole region-only thing when Wii Sports Club was announced and wanted it until I saw how it was priced. I'm glad Mario Golf World Tour will allow worldwide so I'll get that when it comes out in 2014.
I'm glad to see Nintendo making more bundles, I don't care for Skylander's but alot of other people do so that will increase the system's sales, and it's great that it also comes with Nintendo Land as well. Though I wish Nintendo would scrap the 8GB "Basic" system and only use the 32GB system. The "Basic" set isn't much cheaper despite having alot less room.
Sonic 2 and 3&K, Streets of Rage 2 and 3, Revenge of Shinobi, Shadow Dancer, Ecco: Tides of Time, all of Treasure's games, Ristar, Pulseman, Comix Zone, and Kid Chameleon.
If third parties are allowed, then add Splatterhouse 2 and 3.
@XavandSo I'm surprised the Wii Mini never launched in Australia, it'd be perfect for those in the middle of the Outback.
On topic, Nintendo should discontinue making Wiis for the Wii U now. There's probably already enough new unopened Wiis already on shelves for this holiday season anyways.
I have Tetris Axis and the Game Gear version of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on my 3DS, while I'm not getting my hopes up but I'll but this Puyo Puyo/Tetris mash up if it comes to North America.
@MrMario02 Sega started in Hawaii, but the main headquarters moved to Japan shortly afterwards. They're first console (the SG-1000) was only released in Japan.

Who needs New LovePlus when we have Namco High coming!
Re: Video: Check Out This Puyo Puyo Tetris Trailer and Dream of Localisation
I hope it gets localized, but at least we can import the PS3 and Vita versions if it doesn't.

@DarkwingLz At least they counted to 3 unlike Valve

@SanderEvers That version was wide-screen and had a level editor.

The Wii U had a rough 2013, but I think it's now starting to pick up.
Re: Packaged Physical Release of Wii Sports Club May Happen
They should do Wii U bundles that have all of Wii Sports Club built in.
Re: Nintendo Titles Continue To Be Illegally Peddled On Android Google Play Store
DKC and Super Mario All Stars, crazy that it's two games not available on VC.
Re: Nicalis Quizzes Fans Over Potential For a Physical Release of the Cave Story 3DS eShop Version
I'm indifferent to the retail release, but they need to release it in Europe and Australia.

Capcom can't afford proofreaders

Re: Super Ubie Land Will Recieve Another Name Change Before Hitting The Wii U eShop
Super Uby Land?
Re: Nintendo Japan Confirms an End to Wii Production
There's still Wii games set for release all the way up until November 29th in North America and Europe, it's all shovelware and Just Dance though.
Re: Feature: A Supersonic History of Sonic Cartoons
I've seen all of these except for Sonic Underground (and Sonic Boom obviously)
Re: Rumour: Sony Running Campaign To Push Potential Wii U Buyers Towards PS4 And Vita
It's going to be like the Genesis VS Super Nintendo

@Caryslan He wasn't being overly serious, he's just the Sega version of WaveBoy.

Re: China Removes Game Console Ban
I think it's mostly just going to be Nintendo and Sony over there like in the rest of Asia.
Re: Talking Point: The Steam Gaming Machines Are An Unconventional Challenge to the Wii U
I don't think Steam OS is a threat to the Wii U or even the PS4, I think it's mostly going to affect the Xbox brand.

Re: Cut the Rope Slices Its Way Onto the North American eShop
I'll give this a snip if it's priced well.
Re: Wii Sports Club Takes The Competition Online With HD Visuals And Wii MotionPlus Support
I'll pick this one up. Also, if they make a Wii U bundle with this, it could actually sell a decent amount of Wii Us.
Re: Inti Creates Revealed to be Working on Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
Interesting, that's means the HD Shantae game is actually being made in Japan.
Re: Rumour: Wii U New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Luigi U Hardware Bundle Sighted
A NSMBU bundle was a much needed bundle.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Staff Reveal The Process Behind Choosing Which Games To Localise
Even if Animal Crossing on Gamecube never got localized, we probably would've still gotten the DS, Wii, and 3DS games.
Re: Capcom Expects A Significant Decline in Packaged Games Come 2017
They're just mad that they're bleeding money
Re: Taiko: Drum Master Wii U Version Bringing the Beat to Japan in November
@Norik There's alot more Wii U games that we have that Japan doesn't. Japan doesn't have Mighty Switch Force or Scribblenauts Unlimited.
Re: Puyo Puyo Tetris Could Be The Perfect Puzzle Mashup
I have Tetris Axis and the Game Gear version of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on my 3DS, while I'm not getting my hopes up but I'll but this Puyo Puyo/Tetris mash up if it comes to North America.
Re: Sometimes Finding a Wii U to Buy Ain't Easy

@Stimpy Here it isw on Amazon

It's a really good classic style platformer that gets suprisingly challenging later on.
Re: Video: 3D Streets Of Rage's "One Punch" Mode Is Surprisingly Entertaining
@MrMario02 Sega started in Hawaii, but the main headquarters moved to Japan shortly afterwards. They're first console (the SG-1000) was only released in Japan.
Re: Mighty Switch Force! 2 Aiming to Bring the Heat to Wii U in October
I'm guessing the KickStarter game will be the 4th Mighty game (not counting MSF2)
Re: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Dated for North America
I'll get it, but not right away. I did get a copy of Giana Sisters DS back in May though.
Re: "No Plans" For Ambassador Program Following Wii U Price Cut
