DreamDrop

Kirby and Link for me!! I was planning on getting Toon Link from Good Smile too (eh what the heck I'll get all three!). Got the Good Smile Link Figma. Love it! Nendoroids are just adorable too

Guys let the kid rest, he's only 13. @Ninstarkof

It's ok son, vent all you want. Come vent at me if it makes you feel better.

Personally I haven't upgraded YET, however, as a current Wii Owner I'm planning to get the PS4. Not because of the CoDs, BFs etc but because of Kingdom Hearts 3 and future Final Fantasy titles. I got the PS3 last year and have finished quite alot of the significant games (except Uncharted, never got into it. Boring game).

• Will I upgrade to a Wii U too? Certainly, but not until Zelda WiiU hits shelves and maybe a proper F-Zero game.
• Do I think the Wii U will ever sell in excess numbers? Nope, it's not gonna flop or be a hit, it's a breakeven console.

To end, I was actually very pumped during E3. Splatoon looks like a hit.

True, Nintendo isn't doomed never was never will be. The only fact is that WiiU is living on the edge, any moment and it could fall into the abyss or soar into the sky. Let's see what 2014 brings for the WiiU.

I like how people assume Digital sales will be phenomenal. Fact is, WiiU needs games from Metroid or Zelda to atleast keep it afloat for a few years before we get WiiU2

Must get this game. Will win GOTY for sure!

Does anyone know how much A Link Between Worlds will cost on eShop? Are digital purchases typically cheaper or the same price?

Staying true to the "kid friendly" role eh? Last I used Swapnote was in 2012 or something, got much better alternatives to text and keep in touch with friends so seeing this go is fine.

I didn't know WiiU was still being sold, anyways, Ubi will get their fair share of earnings for Rayman Legends from the other consoles and Steam.

I'm not interested in downloading crap this week so.....nothing.

Gotta finish GTA V before the release or else it'll be collecting dust with my PS3!!!

Umm...yeah, instead of tinkering with old titles, how about releasing something "new" Nintendo? As long as they're just experimenting I don't mind, HD remasters should not release this early into a console's life, whatever...this console was dead on production itself. I'll go back to gaming on my 3DS.

Sad to be you guys, I bought my 3DS when I was studying abroad in the US while my friend was in UK and got a PAL 3DS, now both of us are in the Middle-East and we get both PAL and NTSC games at the game retailers here. Apart from that I don't own consoles and Steam is my primary gaming platform. My work here is done flies away

Well I really don't care what happens to the WiiU it never interested me anyways, on the other hand, bring on the games on my 3DS!! Love this baby!

@Jorzha Then you're late! This news was posted more than 24 hours ago across the web.

Not bad....but not good either.

Aimed at children? Grow up Nintendo!

@Funny_Moblin I'm not sure but you'll find out in the future.

It's a dead-on-arrival console, just read news that it's just sitting there in US stores.

I can confirm that the house is still available and it's accessible using any NTSC 3DS, I'm living in Bahrain, Middle-East Asia and I'm in his house!! Yes my 3DS is NTSC.

The only thing I like about Nintendo now is this guy, I missed his presence at E3.

I got the Wii when it was in its 4th year and got over with it in 6-7 months. It's not surprising that third-parties aren't able to find a good use of the "WiiU GamePad" because nowadays they are just sitting on their lazy squids waiting for their engines to do most of the work whilst rehashing old files onto a supposed new title (CoD and AC big proof right there), due to this laziness they aren't bothered with "innovation" at all and thus can't find a use for the pad. The WiiU needs a price-cut, especially considering the PS4 is launching cheap (cheap in the sense of vs PS3 launch price).

To be honest, it's completely fair to avoid the WiiU because it just doesn't sell at all. Coming to my thoughts, the only reason i haven't bought a WiiU is because of the crappy Mario titles that keep coming out.

Oh look another Mario game and only this time you can play as Peach too! BIG WHOOP! Mario Kart? Please I think Sonic & All-stars racing is far superior to Mario Kart now, no doubt at ALL.

As a Nintendo fan I yearn for titles like F-Zero, Metroid, Starfox etc but NO! Nintendo just wants to keep on releasing an italian plumber's games!

Moving onto the third-party games like Batman Arkham Origins, AC IV etc. I'd much rather play those on my desktop for full blown-out experience. That just leaves Bayonetta 2. Get a console for one game? I don't think so.

I may be an avid Nintendo fan but even a brain-dead Monkey can point out that the WiiU has nothing that supports it, I don't care what Sony or MS fans say about Nintendo but seriously, it's time to move into Gear 6 Nintendo especially considering how miserable the XBox One has been as per the announcements and reactions. That just opens a door for Nintendo to step up and fight their arch-rivals Sony for the coveted Number 1 spot.

Sony and Nintendo merger. Make. It. Happen. It'll be the best company ever!

@hydeks - The problem is, devs nowadays are uber lazy they just want to re-hash FPS games each year and keep releasing them with new FPS IPs announced here and there. Oh did I mention FPS games?

Started amazing, then became good and finished on the worst note possible. How is that even a fight? More like two girls (who never used a sword) brawling it out and end up killing one another.

Eh whatever, it's not like PS4 and Xbox One (regardless of BC option) will be flying off the shelves, they'll suffer just like the WiiU.

No idea but lets see what EA does, and I sure hope Star Wars 1313 remains in their eyes.

Dumb Nintendo is Dumb, only a brain-dead company would launch a console with its name similar to its predecessor when it has ALREADY experienced such a scenario in the past - 3DS anyone?

I'm sorry but when did Batman ever jump in AA or AC? He had other better abilities like the vault, can't wait to see more of this game it's definitely in my wishlist atm.

Dream Team releases in NA a month after EU? Wtf?

If gamers aren't willing to buy a WiiU at $249.99 then will they even look at the PS4 when it releases at $300+??

Still got the beta on Steam, it's a fun little game to waste time on...and that's pretty much it.

When you're buying a Nintendo platform you're looking at the amazing franchises of Pikmin, Zelda, Mario, Kirby, Metroid etc. Not some war shooters (CoD, BF etc) that have little to no value a few months down the line.

Moving onto the third-party support, it has always been Nintendo's weakest point because you see there is Sony and Microsoft too. Consoles are not about fanboy wars but about the diversity in choices you have. There's no one stopping you from purchasing a PS3 (PS4 in the future) to enjoy titles that aren't on Nintendo platforms. This is 2013, not 1988 where a square box plugged to your TV is enough to play everything that releases. Look at the mobile market, hasn't it changed alot? What was there in 1990? A brick that dialed numbers - Nokia. Time changes everything and as a gamer you should learn to adapt to it or just enjoy "half" the offerings.

Guys it's ok to let out your true thoughts, I for one think Nintendo have completely lost it, when 3DS sold so weakly in the first few months even a brain-dead monkey could realize that the problem was the lack of first-party titles, if Nintendo learnt anything from that experience they would've delayed the WiiU until their major games were finished - Mario, Zelda etc. Nintendo's strong point has always been first party, so why the hell would you deprive your fans from it?

I'm sorry but it's hightime Nintendo realized that the WiiU is a flop. Dump it like the GameCube and bring out something unique in 2014 E3. I have the Wii and to be honest, the WiiU doesn't interest me at ALL neither does the garbage PS4 (especially that fugly controller DualShock 4)

Nintendo's best - N64
Sony's best - PS2

Force fans to buy the console by releasing AAA games of Mario, Zelda, F-Zero, Kirby, DK, Starfox etc!

I'm surprised as to why Nintendo don't offer demos for their big releases like Mario and now Luigi...ah well, gotta wait for retail release..

Funny how Indie devs think they're suddenly so "big" that they can make such claims. Do all games on the 3DS have 3D support? NO!

This is soooooooooooo dumb, infact the whole world is getting messed up with all these patent rights, what's next? "Hey I had the idea of Strawberry Banana shake first but you stole my idea and made it first? Pay up".

@Geonjaha Dude even Club Nintendo NA barely gets any new rewards, like once a year lol, this sale is just to celebrate Luigi's return to the spotlight...

I wonder if the sales shift around every day? Would love to see a sale on the Terrycloths.

What does the WiiU need? Not just games.....these games:-

• Conker's Bad Fur Day sequel
• Starfox
• F-Zero
• Viewtiful Joe (preferably VJ 3 but that's near to impossible)
• Pokemon Champions (collab of all the regions from Kanto to Unova)
• Super Mario Galaxy 3
• Legend of Zelda
• Kirby
• Kid Icarus
  etc...why are the ones mentioned earlier being ignored for years? I know Conker's studio and stuff is no more etc but can't someone buy the IP?

Seriously just look at that list, it can give heart-attack to Sony and MS. Nintendo...just do it right....we love Mario and Zelda but it's time to bring back F-Zero, Starfox etc...

DEMO DEMO DEMO DEMO I can only see the word DEMO, nothing else.

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance now available for NTSC 3DS!! (NA!!)

1 month wait for US version!!! Damn, I can only weep at the reviews and videos for a month...I didn't expect the game to get 8! Well even if it got a 6, I would still get it because it's one of the games I've been closely following ever since its introduction. To those who aren't buying, are you forgetting there is DLC support on the 3DS? I bet my cards on new DLC 2-3 months down the line.

DEMO <3

Where is US DEMO!? Nooooo! Please be there when announced or I'll be a sad panda.

Finally, now I can return to Mario Kart 7 after a 3-month hiatus.

Really don't care about it, DW died after 4.

@BalrogtheMaster How is giving 12/20 a review?? They are randomly giving scores, what a dump site. Wait for legit reviews I say. P.S. - Those so-called "review scores" posted on GoNintendo are from a "Consoles+" magazine or something, never even heard of this name, probably attention seekers

Been thinking of getting it but always changed my mind in the last second. Nowadays playing Tekken, however, I'd love to try the demo and see what I'm missing in my library xP
