I can't be upset that UK retailers broke the date, because I don't believe they realised the 12th wasn't Friday. When has a game released on a Saturday in the UK? Tuesdays and Fridays are when we get games, so I'd assume they just thought Friday was the official launch.

Time zones also meant that the world didn't get the game at the same time, so Nintendo's idea was doomed from the start. This really isn't a big deal yet has had far too many articles posted about it.

GAME is only jumping to the defense of Nintendo because it's desperate for exclusive content.

I'm a huge Zelda fan, but to be honest this looks very disappointing. £60 for such a small figure, a plastic case (they could have gone for glass as it looks much more attractive) and a game that should only retail for £29.99 seems like Nintendo is giving a massive middle finger to the fans, knowing they'd pay out for it.

If the figure was a few inches bigger, and the price was £10 less, I'd be a lot happier.

@Chriiis Minish Cap is one of the best Zelda games!

1. LttP
2. WW
3. MM
4. MC
5. OoT
6. SS
7. TP
8. OoA/S
9. LA
10. FSA
11. AoL
12. LoZ
13. FS

That's my list.

I bet he would also say that Fable 3 is the best one. When you have MM, LttP, WW, OoT and MC in the series, you can't possibly say that TP is your favourite.

I own a basic model, because I personally think the black model is ugly. I don't like glossy black consoles.

Platinum Games didn't create No More Heroes, Grasshopper Manufacture did.

@LeVideoGamer I picked it up for £18 the other month. Limited Edition, complete. You just have to look hard enough.

He's at the pipes and still in 6th. Somebody take the controller from him!

Very nice, though I hope they ship it in a gold box.

The Wii U launched with a lot more games than the 360, PS3 and Wii did. Let's see:

360 - 7 in Japan, 18 in NA and 15 in PAL territories.
PS3 - 6 in Japan, 14 in NA and 24 in PAL territories.
Wii - 10 in Japan, 21 in NA and 12 in PAL territories.
Wii U - 11 in Japan, 31(may be a bit over here) in NA and 24 in PAL territories.

In each launch, a lot of the games were ports from another console. Go back a few generations and you'll find they released consoles with much less (SNES with F-Zero and Super Mario World, anyone?).

The system has quite a large library of games to say it's been out for less than a year. I don't think it's through a lack of titles that people aren't buying the console, but rather the fact that gamers prefer the same old games on the same old system that all their friends play on, and aren't willing to try something different and allow Nintendo time to make quality games. CoD only takes less than a year and you can rehash the same genres on other consoles very quickly.

People feel safe sticking with what they know and are comfortable with. It's unfortunate to realise that this generation of gamers doesn't care about new and exciting experiences, and just want the tried and tested formula.

@bezerker99 Don't be stupid. Nintendo is not doomed. They've got enough money to survive multiple failed consoles. The Wii U isn't doomed either. The games will come, developers will take an interest and things will pick up.

People look at the low numbers and convince themselves not to invest, because they think it'll be a poor choice, thus keeping the numbers low. I made the decision to buy a Wii U, and even though I have to wait for some games, I don't regret my decision at all. In fact, it was a much better investment than the Wii ever was, with loads more to do and I can play the games from that console.

@Melkaticox - Clearly there is too many words there. You barely typed a post and didn't read that, else you would have realised you said "too long, read didn't". It takes a minute, if that, to read this post. How lazy can one be?

I enjoy Miiverse, though I do wish people would spend a few moments typing their posts to a more acceptable level. I get sick of people asking if there's going to be a Wii U Zelda (hint: you're on an internet-enabled device. Look it up!), and general stupid questions.

I really like looking at the drawings people make, and the quizzes people play with other people. The 200 character limit is too limited for me, because I refuse to shorten words if they can't naturally be shortened. As a result, I can't give a detailed explanation of my reasons for liking or disliking a game, and I can only argue the idiocy of begging for Yeahs to a certain extent. A 500 character limit would be very welcome.

I look forward to the 3DS Miiverse launching, because perhaps then I won't see so many posts about the Wii U being crap, not having enough games to play, and being a pointless investment (I disagree with all of these, except in part about not having enough games. I find myself in the VC more often, but I'm waiting for the big games like Pikmin 3).

I love Plok, one of the best games on the SNES. If they bring a VC version out, I'll laugh at how difficult people find it. Save states will ruin the experience though. You had to play through the entire game in one session to complete it.

I was watching SGDQ2013 and they were speedrunning Plok, and I was sickened by how many people had never heard of it. At least 4 people here know of it. Plok is much better than Rayman, and deserved much more recognition than it received.

There's an awful lot of bitter trolls in here today. It's very easy to read a title of an article and fly in to a tirade of inaccurate accusations about Nintendo, isn't it? However, have you thought about really reading the article? You would learn that they are only saying that because they moved development mostly to the 3DS after the disaster, the Wii U development cycles became much longer. They aren't pinning the blame solely on the crisis, they were trying to ensure that they had their affairs in order, as the country began to rebuild.

This is awesome! I've just bought a Wii U and it'll be delivered tomorrow (15th in the UK). This marks the 30th year since Nintendo released their first home console, and the day that I got hold of Nintendo's most recent home console.

Happy Birthday, Famicom!

@Varia01 - Yeah, but you're forgetting that the N64 didn't get a Metroid title. That could very well happen again.
