Dauntless

These patent lawsuits are bad for the industry but if things were reversed Nintendo would be doing the same anyways.

If it wasn't for the internet I would have never known this thing even existed.

This is their 3rd go at Virtual Console and they're still screwing up. Same old Nintendont.

After all these years Reggie actually gave a straight answer?
At least I 'll have the piece of mind knowing that Pikmin 4 will never see the WiiU.
Breath of the Wild will be my last Nintendo game. I'm not dealing with Nintendo again after the WiiU.
With the exception of the Wii, every Nintendo home console successor has has sold less than its predecessor. If this trend continues the Switch will sell less than the WiiU and be a bigger failure.

Yeah not getting the switch. Not listening to Reggie tell me alot of nothing anymore. This system already has the worst launch lineup and Nintendo doesn't want to talk about whether or not they are making the games that fans want? A lot of the switch's launch titles look like cancelled WiiU games. The switch is a hand held console that can be hooked up to the TV, not a real home console.

Don't kid your self. The Switch probably isn't even as powerful as the PS4 and you need a killer PC rig better than that to do VR properly.

I'm definitely up for hacking one of these if I ever get one lol. I expect this to be discontinued before stores get more stock. This is from the company that recalled all WiiUs right before Christmas.

Not buying into the hype that doesn't exist. Outside of the hardcore Nintendo fan base, that gets smaller every year, people don't even know about the Switch or care. Its going to look like a WiiU 2.0 to them. Another controller with a screen built in when they didn't even care the first time around. And the few new VC titles Nintendo will release wont sway them.

He either doesn't know what the word secure means or is trying to avoid the word piracy.
I think the always online connection is to stop piracy because Nintendo is paranoid and they want complete control.

The WiiU is a lot like the Dreamcast. It's a commercial failure but has gems that gamers will always love.

I don't think I'll ever buy one. The Value isn't there for me though I like the novelty of it.
In Canada the MSRP is $79.99. That is a steep price tag when all the games that I like I already have on my WiiU/Wii.
The controller cable is too short which means you have to spend more money on extension cables. I already have an official wireless option on my WiiU/Wii.
Its another thing taking up space that can't do anything the WiiU doesn't already do.
And there is the headache of being sold out nation wide. No stores were taking preoders and only a couple Gamestops/EB Games have limited stock on the west side of the country. The rest of the country is sold out or never got stock.
This is the worst launch ever. Nintendo doesn't learn.

I would be more excited if I could actually preorder the damn thing. Outside of Europe no one is taking preorders. I might pass by the store to see if there is any next week but I won't be wasting my time hunting these down. Nintendo is really good at screwing up a launch.

I've always preferred first party controllers over third party. Wireless dose have its advantages though. The extension cable will be needed for sure since Nintendo made the wire so damn short. They cheaped out by not going wireless and cheaped out again by shorting you on the wire. I would rather have a longer wire and no HDMI cable included. But since I don't see any stores taking preorders in Canada I don't expect to get one of these.

Why does it seem like Nintendo is trying to create a shortage? BestBuy & Amazon are not taking preorders yet and GameStop confirmed they won't be doing it at all. If this thing is hard to find like when the Wii was released I'm simply not going to bother. Leave it to Nintendo to ruin my enthusiasm.

I guess the Android version will depend on the iOS sales/profit. Nintendo is famous for cost cutting measures. They couldn't even make a different fourth playable character in New Super Mario Brothers Wii.

It will be cool to see cartridges make a comeback. But this does mean no disc drive and no backwards compatibility with WiiU & Wii Games. Doesn't really matter though because I don't think the NX will be successful anyways. Nintendo believes they have to do something different just for the sake of being different and than can't figure out how to explain to everyone else why different is better.

Its about time Wave Race was added. Would be nice if they put something unreleased like Excite Bike 64.

I want one. Will preorder as soon as I can. It would also be awesome if they did the same thing for the snes and n64.

If developers really don't know than how can they make any games for it? There will be a lack of third party games at launch followed by a lack of interest as a result. Sales will do poorly and third parties will abandon ship again.

Those testers might have even been paid a living wage. Now developers get the gamers to test for free and pay full price.

All I wanted was Pikmin 4 so this is a huge disappointment for me. An entire E3 presentation just on Zelda won't keep my attention. If they seriously have nothing to show for the WiiU than they should start building up hype for the NX. Do they expect to reveal the NX to the general public at the last minute and hope everyone goes gaga over it?

I'm saving up for a HTC Vive not an NX. What ever Nintendo has it won't be able to excite me more than VR.

Is there really much point in doing these when there is barely anything coming out?

This looks more like a port job than a remaster. And it makes some sense. Splatoon & SSB4 both have online communities. With cross platform support of the same game Nintendo will be able to keep those existing users and expand upon it. This would also mean that the NX is likely not backwards compatible.

You can kiss your backwards compatibility good bye. The Wii & WiiU are based on a custom PowerPC architecture. If they switch to x86 they can't do hardware based backwards compatibility. They would need to do a software backwards compatibility solution and I don't think they will. They couldn't do something as simple as software emulation for GameCube memory cards on the Wii. I doubt they'll put the resources into NX BC. They didn't even bother releasing GameCube games on the WiiU either.

The WiiU is capable of playing GameCube games. It can't read the mini discs, or support GameCube memory cards and controllers natively. That needs software emulation. If you hack your WiiU and run the homebrew app Nintendont you can play GameCube ISOs from an SD Card or USB Hard Drive with your WiiU Pro controller and save your games to a virtual memory card on the SD Card. The hacking community proved that its possible. But Nintendo won't do anything that isn't on the cheap for them.

Got the Pikmin 3 DLC. Hope they release the rest of the DLC packs.

And Nintendo still hasn't released WaveRace 64 in NA for the WiiU VC.
I would have liked to have a boat version in addition.
That old commercial looks more exciting than a lot of Nintendo's new commercials.

You guys are going to hate me for saying this but this is the perfect game for the Amiiqo considering you need 11 different Amiibos to unlock the full game. It would be even better if Nintendo released a full deck of Amiibo cards at an affordable price.

I'll forgive Nintendo if they release Pikmin 4 for the WiiU, but I still won't buy an NX. If however they make Pikmin 4 exclusive to the NX and completely drop software support for the WiiU I'll hate them for a very long time.

If Nintendo's system were more like Steam than I would be more digital. As it is the Wii U days are coming to an end so I'll buy the remaining few titles on disc before the end of another chapter.

A touch screen controller hurt the WiiU considerably by raising the cost without a proportional benefit to gaming. If Nintendo releases another touch screen controller that is even more expensive than the WiiU's they are doomed. A screen that wraps around buttons is a novelty that wont impress the majority for very long.

You suck Nintendo. I don't even feel like explaining anymore.

Both will fail. I don't expect the VR add-on to take off. Most add-ons fail. Sega Cd / 32x, Kinect, Playstation eye / move, etc. The NX will fail not because of VR competition but because only hardcore Nintendo fans buy their system and they are a shrinking population.

I can never look forward to these things.

This game isn't big enough to give the NX much of an advantage. You have to be old to remember the first because so much time has passed. I wouldn't be surprised if people who started gaming with the PS3 or PS4 don't even know what it is. There are probably even people from the PS2 era that have never heard of it before.

The old 3DS is powerful enough to play SNES games. Not supporting the older hand held is a d*ck move by Nintendo.
If virtual console support on the WiiU is any indication of whats coming I wouldn't hold my breath for the New3DS.
By only supporting the New3DS they are reducing the majority of the customer install base and third parties won't want to bother with it.

They better announce Pikmin 4 for the Wii U.
We'll probably see a trailer for Star Fox again.
They might hint at the new paper Mario.
Zelda could be absent again.
The show will probably be stolen by 3DS footage.
This Direct could confirm the death of the WiiU.

Its a little early for April fools. This is a game that was suppose to come out last gen on the PS3/360 and never did. It still hasn't come out this gen on the PS4/XB1 and you expect me to believe it will be an NX exclusive? Its easier to believe in purple flying unicorns.

They need to release the Wii Chibi Robo that never made it outside Japan.

They need to localize the New Play Control Wii version of Chibi-Robo and release it as a select title. It isn't even costly to do because all they have to do is copy the english text from the gamecube version. I would get that if they did.
All these other Select titles I either have or don't want. Hopefully a Pikmin 3 rerelease means Pikmin 4 is coming to the WiiU.

Did Nintendo fix it for free? If they did than a please, thank you, and apology are in order and the kid should be applauded. If Nintendo charged the kid for the repair than its business as usual and they don't deserve any apology.

The project games are probably dead at this point. They were announced in 2014 out of desperation of having nothing to show for the WiiU. They'll probably end up as digital only games if Nintendo doesn't write them off.
Its good to hear Zelda will be 2016. That means it is very likely to be released on the WiiU. All I want at this point is Pikmin 4 for the WiiU.
After 2016 I don't think the WiiU will get much more love from Nintendo because it already doesn't and the NX hasn't even been unveiled yet.
Needless to say I don't expect much from the WiiU. At this point any news about games still coming to the WiiU is big news because the system appears to be abandoned not only by third parties but by Nintendo as well.

I have about 90 of the best retail wii games in my library. The rest of the 1170 games released are garbage and not worth the shelf space. There was a lot of crap released for the system. But when there is up to 100 fantastic games for a system I think it had a good run.

This is already a failure if those specs are correct. 4k streaming isn't the same as 4k gaming. That's why it mentions that it will do 900p gaming. The PS4 would be able to do 4k streaming if it supported the mandatory HDMI 2.0/ HDCP 2.2 DRM. Sony could release a new model with a new HDMI port to allow it. It wouldn't really drive up cost. But the PS4 is already 3 years old and Nintendo's newest system can't even match an outdated system? It is one thing to release an underpowered system before or along side the competition. It is something else to release an underpowered system well after your competition's hardware has aged. Nintendo never learns.

Those things look like something you would get out of a cereal box.

No Wave Race 64. Once again Nintendo disappoints.

@JaxonH
I'm not expecting Nintendo to get a PS4 install base day one. If it takes them 3 years to get a PS4 install base than I'll consider getting the NX in 3 years. Without that install base there is no 3rd party support in Nintendo's case. And what makes it even worse is that Nintendo dose eventually give up on their own platform too.

For example, they constantly showed off Zelda U for the first couple of years to hype up the WiiU and now that the WiiU is a commercial failure they don't want to talk about it anymore because its probably going to be an NX launch title. They said Pikmin 4 is nearly completed but don't want to confirm that it will be for the WiiU. The WiiU Animal Crossing isn't even a real Animal Crossing. What is up with that new Mario Tennis? Talk about lazy. There is a huge lack of support for the Virtual Console. We never did get those GameCube games. And there is countless Nintendo IPs that never got a WiiU release.

The way they are handling the WiiU's send off is why I have lost confidence in them. I'm not going to buy their next system in good faith. They have to prove themselves this time around. The WiiU 2016 lineup is practically non existent and the lack of any information is frustrating.

I'm not into handhelds so I don't have a 3DS to compliment the WiiU. My Nintendo criticism is strictly on their console performance. The WiiU has some of the best console games ever made. But I don't want to buy an NX for only 1 or 2 games because the install base isn't big enough for developers to care.

With the exception of the Wii Nintendo's install base has been declining ever since the NES. Every gen their install base gets smaller. Its taking them a long time to hit bottom because they started so high. I wouldn't be surprised if the NX only gets half of the WiiU install base.

I don't have confidence in Nintendo so I won't be buying an NX until it gets an install base larger than the PS4. So I would like to see a Pikmin 4 for the WiiU before they kill it off. If they make it a dual release with the NX I'm cool with that. If they make it NX only I'll be very bitter about Nintendo's lack of WiiU support.

Fail! They should release Mario Sunshine or do a HD remake, not release a game everyone already has on disc that is backwards compatible.

NOA is retarded and I'm not surprised by it anymore. They printed just a few copies of this, not enough for demand. They printed no copies of fatal frame. And they probably printed a million copies of Mario Tennis Ultra Smash that no body wants. They are really disconnected from their audience and it shows via the WiiU sales figure.
