I want to see a return of Wave Race and 1080, even if just in the form of HD ports of the Gamecube titles.

Got Moon pre-ordered. Shame we have to wait until next week for it.

I enjoyed it, both single player and offline. It was rough around the edges, but I finished the game with a smile on my face and that's what counts.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is in Best RPG, but I think the Witcher 3 expansion will claim that.

I reckon Pokemon Go will get Mobile/Handheld, and Most Anticipated will go to Breath of the Wild.

Still going to keep my physical copy on pre-order just in case. I've been waiting to play this one before starting on my Wii U copy of the 2nd.

@Jamotello I'm holding out hope for SK3, but I'd be down for Peach Beach Splash.

You just want to dissuade people from applying to increase your chances of getting a beta unit!

In seriousness, I wonder how many have fallen for this scam so far?

@JLPick It's more "Do I upgrade my PC to play Scalebound and NieR Automata, or wait to see if NieR Automata comes to Xbox One (as a port is under consideration) and get a XB1 instead of doing the PC upgrade"

Scalebound won't be hitting PS4, and I'm a big Hideki Kamiya fan.

The original Xbox is one of my top 5 consoles of all time. So many great exclusives on it and a lot of the best versions of multi-platform games that generation. Otogi 1 and 2, Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, GunValkyrie, Phantom Crash, MechAssault 1 and 2, Crazy Taxi 3, Shenmue 2, Outrun 2, Ninja Gaiden Black, and more.

I came late to the 360, having moved away from PC gaming in 2012. I've built up an impressive collection of multi-plats and exclusives for it since then and have really enjoyed a lot of the games I've played on it.

I've not been tempted by the Xbox One yet, but if NieR Automata gets a Xbox One release as well, I'll likely pick one up rather than upgrading my PC so I can play it, Scalebound, Sunset Overdrive and other titles I've missed out on my Wii U.

(PS4 is only really tempting at the moment for Persona 5, but I should be getting a free PS3, and it's coming for that system too.)

I did my duty, I asked for less memes (and a new Bayonetta and Endless Ocean on Switch)

Ninja Gaiden's Unbreakable Determination was an interesting choice for the music.

It's the nature of markets and polls. Polls predict A, B happens, markets panic for a while.

It'll probably just let you play stages featuring the costumes in question, like the unlock stages to get mystery mushroom costumes in the Wii U game.

I own all the individual eShop releases, the main reason I'd want to pick up the game is for Power Drift and Puyo Puyo 2. Wish they just got separate releases on the eShop.

Maybe they're saving all the games for the Wii U's 4th birthday, 11 days from now.

Or maybe it'll make Metroid's 25th and 30th Birthday look like the best party ever.

So that's why I haven't been able to find a copy of it. Rather annoying, I'll pass on it for now.

I'd like ports if they brought more to the table. A 'Super Smash Bros for Switch' that included HD version of the 3DS stages, higher quality music than the 3DS version, the inclusion of the Ice Climbers and some more additional characters, Smash Run (as well as or instead of Smash Tour), new trophies, and maybe something like the Adventure Mode from Melee? I'd be all over that.

If a port is adding much more gameplay possibilities, then yeah, I'm likely in. If it's just a bit better performance, I'm much less likely to grab it.

@Andrzej777 Considering the Wii Shop Channel is still running, I think the eShop will be about for a while. The Wii WiFi Connection stuff only really ended due to Gamespy shutting down.

The Wii U's 4th birthday is only a few weeks away, and already console production has ended. I feel kinda bad for the Wii U, it had some great exclusive games but in the end that isn't enough in this industry.

Hopefully the Switch will fare better.

@dkxcalibur I think I got around £55 in eShop credit by the end of the program, having picked up my Wii U in late December 2013.

Games I already own digitally, or have physical copies of.

I miss Club Nintendo, I miss the Nintendo Network Premium Promotion.

My buying a copy of Daytona USA 2001 this weekend was fated. The stars are aligned.

Nothing of interest aside from Hyrule Warriors DLC, so pretty underwhel-
"F-Zero X"
Time to be drivin' through on max.

Standard doesn't mean the maximum limit.

There's a very strong likelyhood I'll pick one up at launch, but I'm waiting for that big Switch Direct to show me just what I can look forward to playing. I know we're getting Breath of the Wild, I'm expecting new versions of Splatoon/Smash/Mario Kart, but give me a Bayonetta 3, a No More Heroes 3, a new Monolithsoft Title, and it'll be a given.

Some say when Devilish Brain Training releases in Europe, a portal built of bones and charred flesh will erupt from under the Channel to birth obscene horrors and malevolent abominations into our world. NoE doing good work on stopping this from happening.

@Damo We had a MAME cabinet the IT staff built at our work Christmas party, but that was about it.

I'm waiting for the wrist-based version, the Nintendo Swatch.

The PAL SNES is the best of the lot, though I also like the Wii and Wii U inspired designs.

Time to start saving up for a day one pick up, personally. Trying to decide if I should double dip on BotW or not, for the Wii U and the Switch.

Just a quick flash of a Bayonetta 3 logo and a Xenoblade logo would be enough.

I still remember my brother buying me a ticket to see it in the cinema for my birthday.

I'll be grabbing it, but for some reason seeing this really makes me wish that Chime's Dreamcast game Napple Tale: Arsia in Daydream got a 3DS port.

Shame there was no Golden Axe or The Super Shinobi, or Streets of Rage 3 with the Bare Knuckle 3 version, or...

But hey, Clotho on the go with Columns.

It's all about the Chase this week.

It's no Nintendo Network Premium. The fact that some purchases will not net you anything in the way of Gold Coins is utterly stupid. NNP was much better in that even smaller purchases would build up towards another £5 eShop code.

Snapped them up. I'm such a mark for Zelda stuff.

Maybe he's angling for Nintendo to make the save with snapping up a chunk of stock if Vivendi try anything.

My copy just arrived in the post today, along with Fast Racing NEO and Valkyrie Drive. It'll probably be a little while before I start on Steamworld, currently working my way through Fable Anniversary Edition.

Definitely looking forwards to the next Steamworld title, whatever it may be.

I'm getting the disc version even though I own Dig on 3DS and Wii U, and Heist on 3DS. Might as well fill my Wii U shelf up before the end of the system.

Every Little (Rumour) Helps

Endless Ocean 3. I want HD diving fun.

Fast Racing Neo and Steamworld Collection for me. The only select I've picked up so far has been LEGO City Undercover, which is 1: A fantastic game, and B: rather hard to find for a good price until the Selects reprint.

I hope we see more physical releases of eShop games in the EU.

Had to find and select Skies of Arcadia Legends first. What a game. Sure it was on the Dreamcast, but Skies of Arcadia should be on every console as standard.

I don't honestly care about Super Mario Run at the moment, due to having an Android phone.

Nintendo Direct for NX shown at a press conference, then a hands on session for the press people there.

Slick Direct presentation, crowd reaction, hands-on/interview articles later. Something for everyone.

We all know SEGA's best adverts were the Japanese Saturn ones with Segata Sanshiro.

I was considering picking it up, but given I rarely play online and don't live near any other 3DS users, I got Axiom Verge instead for cheaper. I may pick it up at some point in the future for cheaper, just to go on the shelf with the other Metroid games in my collection.

@Martendo Yeah, that's why I'm trying to get up to speed with my Wii U collection now. Got 50, a few more I'd like to get.

I found this part interesting: "The Wii U has a very select but loyal fanbase that normally tends to only buy the first-party titles. However, customers don't really pre-order on those formats"

I tend to pre-order Wii U games because trying to find them months after release can be quite the pain, especially for some more niche titles. It wasn't until the Selects version of Lego City Undercover that I was able to get it for a decent price.

I went into my local city and hit up some of the independent game stores there, some had more Saturn and Dreamcast titles than Wii U in stock. I was able to grab two more for the collection (Darksiders II, Monster Hunter 3U) and the only Wii U Pro Controller in the city, but it's slim pickings.
