I played the original on the PC and it was very memorable. Looking forward to play this on the Wii U. It should play wonderfully with the GamePad!

NintendoLife should be ashamed for advertising this.

A GamePad battery that lasts up to 8 hours one one charge! Awesome.

Although, truth to be told, so far I got to see the red LED light only a few times. I'm using brightness level 3, and sometimes 4.

I wonder if it will make the GamePad a little heavier.

This is also an excellent game. I'm playing it right now, and I find that the updated version is excellent for the handheld, with short but intense levels.

Some people wanted a Wii U, but were waiting to see if the next consoles were going to offer the same experience. And now it is more clear that you can safely own both a Wii U & one of the other two consoles. They will not overlap, in terms of the experience they provide.

The Xbox reveal was quite cool, in my opinion (and I'm not an Xbox owner or fan). The console offers a nice upgrade for its own target audience. More non-gaming features, which is something that the Xbox audience has come to expect and enjoy. Ofcourse, it will have graphics that the Wii U will be unable to match.

But the box is big, and it will most likely cost a lot of money in the first years.

It might be a sign that Nintendo considers discontinuing the basic model.

I love my 3DS (unlike some of the guys commenting on this web site, I actually own one). I think that the original model look way cooler than the XL edition.

Great feature, thanks. This was a great SNES game.

I had the SNES cartridge and it was a great puzzle game, very varied and quite challenging.

I am excited about this and will definitely buy it!

Capcom developed some very cool games in the SNES era.

I will instantly buy for the Wii U Virtual Console any SNES Capcom games developed under the Disney license. I still remember how cool Goof Troop was.

I would also love to see Resident Evil Zero and the REmake with GamePad play. Those I would purchase on the spot.

Some people believe that being negative and harsh demonstrates that they have a critical eye or something.

I enjoyed this interview very much - I love these features on NintendoLife.

For some reason, it increases my interest in a game when the people behind it appear to be nice guys.

And... who knew that Bergsala is supporting this game!

This sounds great, and after watching the trailer for the Wii U version, I placed my preorder.

Props to them for doing their thing, and not seeking to appease the Internet lynching mob at any cost.

Cool interview, thanks!

Wow, this presentation was amazing!

So many 3DS games to be excited about.

And the system update for the Wii U!

Shinobi, you are taking things too seriously, in my opinion.

It's just games.

Videogames are like fun toys, except cheaper and last longer.

This one looks quite fun.

It's not difficult. But it's a game that makes you think. So normally, if you get the option to complain at the first difficulty, you will go to Miiverse. It is to be expected with puzzle games.

Kotaku, the blog that is the source of this "information", has a business model of getting noticed by trolling Nintendo.

I think this website (NL) is above that level.

Never encountered any glitch. This is a console game and the hardware is pretty much the same, so I can't take seriously reports like that...

Ofcourse the headline has to be something with a bit of an impact.

Ahh, I'd like to see more articles like this on the site and less reporting on Pachter's ongoing reality show.

From the (excellent, by the way) review:

"or you can just press right on the D-Pad and use the Easy Drive menu to quick-start any event."

It's funny how Nintendo articles attract comments from readers that don't own the console or the games.

I personally have never been tempted to follow Playstation news or comment on articles about Sony, as I don't have a Playstation.

From what I have seen, many (if not most) of the people that commented negatively about this game did not bother to buy it. They commented from what they read in other reviews and/or seen on YouTube.

Awesome news. I do not own a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360, and was never motivated to buy one - but I will buy Wii U releases of such tried-and-proven games. I have already preordered Sniper Elite v2 on the Wii U.

I see this as an opportunity for an improved relationship with Nintendo.

Well, I have to say that Nintendolife.com has been surprisingly positive and understanding towards the Wii U so far. Unlike with the 3DS launch.

Wow, that was fast! Awesome!

This review is informative and useful. Moreover, it read like a review written by somebody who actually enjoys video games.

That lady seems happy that she found a glitch.

What creeps me out is that those hating on remakes are all adults. I mean, they must be old enough to have played the other games. Think about it: grown-ups, frothing at the mouth with anger like spoiled children... over what? Video games...

I must be a member of this new breed of gamers, because much of the current journalistic coverage of video games is not satisfying me.

So many sites are panning brilliant fun games, while deceptive crap gets full marks if it has nice graphics.

These consoles are made with feedback from game developer studios.

As such, I am sure that Nintendo knew exactly, during Wii U's development, what the specifications of the other upcoming consoles were going to be.

Nintendo never intended to make a machine that would replace the PS4 or the next Xbox console.

Most game developers are probably going to stop simultaneously releasing games for both generations in 2015. So the Wii U is going to get some multiplatform games from the end of 2013, into 2014, and maybe at the start of 2015. After this, they will need to be again a niche that offers something entirely different than the other consoles.

Most likely, all this was part of Nintendo's plan.

I am curious about the 2013 holidays. There will be five different videogame machines available.

I expect that 2013 will be so-so for the Wii U. Then 2014 will be awesome. And I am really curious to see how 2015 will turn out.

Wow, this actually is a fantastic week for the 3DS eShop. Two cool demos for games that I had on preorder, and a 3DS game that attracts me a lot and will probably be purchased this evening.

I am happy that this game will be available on the Wii U. Let's hope that the gameplay will be fun.

Given the choice between:

a) more particle effects on the Playstation 4 and
b) clever GamePad use on the Wii U,

...then I am definitely choosing the Wii U version.

I have to say that, after playing Zombi U, I felt that Assassins Creed 3 on Wii U was lacking something. In ZombiU, the GamePad added a very involving layer of strategy; for example, in managing your weapons and ammo before venturing in an unknown area.

Great week indeed for both systems!

Now let's see what what else will the angry mob find to comment on.

These people are never happy.

Sounds fishy - if only because, as a game tester, one would generally be more relaxed about games. This guy wrote more like an angry fan.

I find it funny that they knew exactly what sort of sleazes Kotaku are, and they expertly avoided the interviewer's bait (such as trying to get them to criticize something - anything - about Nintendo or the Wii U).

I am extremely happy for this. It goes on my preorder list as soon as it becomes available.

How cool for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D!

I think that Ubisoft did an outstanding job supporting the Wii U launch.

They put Assassins Creed 3 on the Wii U. Despite some (rare) issues, it runs very well.

Moreover, they finished Zombi U in time for launch - an amazing game that gave me nightmares and took weeks to finish.

Normally with console launches you usually get very short games that are clever, but get criticized for not having "enough content".

Both Assassins Creed 3 and Zombi U are very big and will last a long time.

I honestly do not see why the LEGO games would be worthy of an award. Good games, yes, but award material? Do they contribute to advancing the industry?

In contrast, Nintendoland is something new. It takes considerable risks today to even try to come up with fresh ways of enjoying videogames.

@Bankai: Well put. In other times, this angry crowd of "fans" would have lynched anybody related to Ubisoft. It is a social-media fueled mass aggression similar to the London riots.

I am quite surprised at the Fractured Souls demo. Very enjoyable game. It feels very good, despite being a 3DS game that doesn't feature 3D. I will purchase it right away.

That's really cool. It will go on my preorder list as soon as it becomes available.

One of the best Nintendo Direct yet.

So many nice things to look forward to this year.

I buy from Amazon.co.uk because I am disgusted by GameStop. The employees that I met are not knowledgeable about simple things such as release dates. Moreover, they are big Sony fans that actively try to steer buyers away from Nintendo products. Even now, if you ask the GameStop employees in my local store about the Nintendo 3DS, they will tell you to keep your money for the upcoming hardware revision (?!)

Nice designer chairs you have there by the arcade machine!

Looking forward for Toki Tori 2!

This is Kotaku doing their usual business of agitating spirits.
