Phil Spencer is such a legend. Xbox just wouldn't be the same without him. A d its good to hear him talk about Nintendo in good ways. Im glad its friendly console competition and 10 million Wii U's is decent. Only 10 million-ish away from Gamecube and thats not that bad.
I wish Nintendo Europe did some 'live from tree-house sessions' at Gamescom - like what they do at E3. Or even a Gamescom Nintendo Direct just so people that don't attend can be 'directly' in the action.
I'd try it out on PS4 or Xbox One (when i get one). Its a decent game on Wii U. Im sure many ps4, xbox one and pc gamers will take the plunge and try it out. Its got a unique macaque so all will be well. It would be interesting to see what it is like when its released.
I thought Zavvi runs the Nintendo UK store anyway. Makes sense really, Zavvi do these mystery boxes and now so do Nintendo UK filled with all the items from the club nintendo europe store that was left i would guess. I'll buy it!
WOOOOOO!!!!! So many amiibo to buy. Their are soon many! I can't believe it. Buying everyone. I love how easy it is to buy amiibo in Europe (UK specifically).
Tomonobu Itagaki looks like a rockstar in this video, he's such a cool dude. I think their is fun to be had in Devil's Third. Online will be interesting.
It seems Nintendo need more international development teams. Their's already enough in Japan. Like Sony, they should start having them globally. Either that, or start welcoming 3rd parties more!!!
@TeeJay I think it is just the British accent and the american accent. Some say it YO-shi, some say it YAW-shi, some say it YOR-shi. I too, found it odd (to me) how americans pronounced Mario as MOR-io. But its just how we speak.
I agree with Reggie here. Nintendo Directs can handle mobile announcements. I can imagine Reggie coughing and muttering EA under his breath when he said 'a certain company'. XD
Doe s it really matter what the release date is in September? The answer.... no. Hope their is a special 30th anniversary edition with some cool collectives.
Does he really need to be their this year? No not really. Though E3 is mainly for the American audience (release date wise and what not) most international countries (Europe, Australisa etc...) do watch it. But because its focus is reveals for the American's & surrounding areas, it falls to Reggie to deliver, after all he is President of the American's. Leave Iwata to do the main directs and Japan announcements. E3 is when it falls to Reggie to shine.
Their are cheaper bundles on other sites. Think Nintendo UK store & GAME, should just sell amiibo, then at least they wouldn't sell out incredibly quickly, and price stay under £15.
Its cool Europe's getting this very soon, even before Japan (i think). Hopefully every amiibo can be used with this game - it seems like one of those games that can. I do hope its much better than Yoshi's new Island. This is a game to own on Wii U.
I think Nintendo UK online store should just do amiibo for the UK market and perhaps GAME because its a physical store. Then at least people know where to go for the product and it might not sell out ever so quickly.
Recently played Uprising on 3DS and it has really bad controls. Think it would be a very good idea to have this game on Wii U, it would suit it more so. And it wouldn't take too long to do and release. Either that or release an update for the game so I can use that new 3ds mini c-stick in the controls.
Looks good, Mario Sunshine was the first thing I thought of. Think it would look a lot better if it was cell-shaded to look similar to Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD, if it had those types of graphics and had a bit more floating movment, it would be perfect.
I don't think Zombiu will be ported, but I do think some form of a sequel will be on Ps4 & Xbox one (unlikely Wii U). Think it will be a step-up from ZombiU.
Something tells me that the big N is likely making another HD version of a GameCube classic game as we speak. And because of both the unique gameplay s and because the settings would look awesome in HD, here's hoping it's either Mario Sunshine or Luigis Mansion. Two words... E3.
Would be cool if Activision continued to surrport Wii U more, they do with their more toonie games, but more popular games would be great. Having something unique to Wii U would give it an edge on selling, so long as they advertised the dam thing. Plus, it's the only current generation console that offers free online multiplayer.
Don't mind game specific directs but this was not a direct, it was a poor showcase. I understand their doing this now before it's released in Japan, but it would have been better to have a better direct of the game much closer to the games release, using the actual west version instead of Japan's version. And unless theirs a release during Nintendo's E3 digital event or whatever it is they are doing this year at e3; It is unlikely to be a 2015 game.
No longer their anymore. Though just realised that Europe Club ends September were others end Clubs end before the summer. something tells me all the unique stuff that doesn't get sold in US & Japan clubs will head to the Europe Club Nintendo's.
Something tells me their will be quite a few more Zelda remakes, which isn't a bad thing. I'd like to see them remake Twighlight Princess & Skyward Saword many because the controls on wii were so bad, especially in Skyword. Would be interesting to see some Ds Zelda remakes too.
No one wants to buy a boring, buggy game. Sonic Boom was rushed for launch and it shows. Sega should have delayed both games by two years and really given them a good polish and graphic upgrade. Lost World was a great game that should have a sequal. And what about another instalment in the All Stars Racing? Oh and a Monkey Ball on Wii U?

Re: Yup, Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 Is Definitely Skipping Wii U
A little silly, considering the game would be very similar to PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Just release the game on Wii U for goodness sake.
Re: Rumour: ZombiU Is Shedding Its Wii U Exclusivity To Infect The PlayStation 4 And Xbox One
