@Azooooz Because almost 2 years ago during a January direct they announced a crazy amount of stuff (Wind Waker HD, SMTxFE, Yarn Yoshi, etc.) that set the bar very high for these directs. Every one of them since then has been pretty disappointing. They kind of shot themselves in the foot by having such a great one.
The biggest thing I want is a Zelda trailer. But I know it won't happen. Nintendo is the master of teases and LONG waits. I'm looking at you Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem and Yoshi's Wooly World.
So excited for this game, and so many other indie games that are coming out. Shovel Knight, Armillo, Teslagrad, Wooden Sen'SeY. I don't have enough money for all this stuff...
I'm definitely getting this day one. More games like this, Child of Light, Shovel Knight, Scram Kitty, Pushmo World, they all help fill in the gaps between all the AAA releases.
I think Captain Toad and Smash are the only things I'll be picking up, maybe Hyrule Warriors pending reviews. Captain Toad was super unexpected and I'm very excited. It looks like a total expansion of that great idea in SM3DW. There's also some really cool uses of the gamepad.
I both happy and sad that they revealed Zelda. I felt like since we have such a long wait until it comes out, they should've revealed more. But hopefully they will be rolling out announcements about it. Everyday now I'm going to be staring at my screensaver and patiently waiting...
You can watch twitch in the Wii U browser (which is an awesome browser btw). I feel no need for a dedicated app. I actually prefer watching YouTube in the browser rather than the app, because you can surf the web while watching a video on your tv.
I think this may be a stretch, but I think it would be cool if the Shin'en game Fast Racing Neo (that we oddly haven't heard much about since it was announced like 2 years ago) would be retooled as a F-zero game. Nintendo has been licensing out their characters and IPs, and the first Fast Racing game was very Fzero-like. I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to give Shin'en that IP. Their games have performed well on Nintendo's platforms, and they are very high quality.
I could see them charging for the characters, but the battle mode DLC better be free. It should've been included in the game in the first place. If they charge for that, I would be pretty upset.....however, I would still buy it. I'm part of the problem...
There's literally zero incentive for any third party publisher to bring a game to the Wii U right now. It would take Nintendo paying large amounts of money for it to happen. And really I think they are too focused on their NFC stuff right now to care. My son would love if they did, because we don't have a gaming PC and the Wii U is the only console we own, but I don't see it selling well. Nothing 3rd party has been selling well on Wii U...
I'm guessing in order to customize your move sets, you will need to have the figurine. That way you can take it with you if you go play smash at a friends house, and it will contain all of your data.
I think the last thing I want to see is a realistic Zelda. I live in the real the world, I want to see a world that surpasses my imagination. This looks great, but it also looks like something in Elder Scrolls and Dark Souls. Zelda should be a fantasy world in every sense. Show me something that blows my mind.
It's very sad that Nintendo is doing so poorly right now, because they are doing better than ever at putting out consistently good games. Every major release has been top notch. I guess people just need more.
@Monkeh See I've always really enjoyed the dungeons more than anything, and I guess that's why I enjoyed SS so much. It had some of the coolest dungeon design in the history of the series. I think that's why I liked Minish Cap so much as well.
This is my favorite game of all time. I love it, and would absolutely buy it again if it came out in HD. I think Nintendo would go even further to make it look even better though. When they did Wind Waker HD, the updated a lot of the textures and lighting. It wasn't your standard HD re-release.
Here's my favorites so far. 1. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze 2. Pikmin 3 3. Wind Waker HD 4. Super Mario 3D World 5. Batman: Arkham City AE 6. Nintendoland 7. Trine 2 8. Arkham Origins 9. Rayman Legends 10. Mutant Mudds Deluxe 11. Ducktales Remastered 12. Wii Sports Club 13. Wii Fit U
This isn't really that shocking, but sad none the less. Let's hope Nintendo can keep up, and possibly increase, the rate of their first party offerings. So far all the first party stuff has been stellar. I follow Big N's employment twitter account, and they have been hiring like crazy, and a lot of the positions have been design and programming positions. So we can hope.
Out of the ones I've played so far. Here's my list.
1. Super Mario 3D World 2. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze 3. Pikmin 3 4. Wind Waker HD 5. Batman: Arkham City AE 6. Rayman Legends 7. Trine 2 8. Mutant Mudds Deluxe 9. Batman: Arkham Origins 10. Nintendoland 11. Ducktales Remastered 12. Wii Fit U 13. Wii Sports Club
I get the Wii U, since the install base is low (even though the attach rate is very high), but I don't get the 3DS. The 3DS has a very high install base, and growing. I hate how prevalent mobile gaming is. There a handful of enjoyable experience on mobile, but most of it is the worst shovel-ware imaginable. Worse than worst of Wii's shovel-ware.
Given the Wii U's situation, I actually think it's kind of crazy of them to not show at least 1 new Wii U game coming. I don't understand the big N sometimes. They can't be that naive when it comes to their audience.
I want a game (besides Mario Kart) that I'm excited for. Even Smash hasn't gotten me that excited. It looks WAY too much like Brawl, and the constant "reveals" of already established characters is really anti-climactic. I'm hoping they can wow me like they did with SM3DW. I think the only game I really excited for in the next few months is Child of Light. I want more than anything to know that Nintendo isn't afraid to take chances again. If there's one main problem with the Wii U, it's that Nintendo has taken things way too safe.

Re: More PDP GameCube-Style Wired Fight Pads Pay Homage to Donkey Kong, Link, Samus and Wario
Dang it. They had to make a Zelda one, didn't they. I will buy anything with the Hylian symbol.
Re: Talking Point: New Ideas, Not New IPs, Are The Key for Nintendo
Oh man. I freaking love Metroid Blast. Seeing that picture, now I just want to go home and play it.

Re: E3 2014: Nintendo Won't Bring Live Twitch Streaming to Wii U as it Lacks 'Fun'
He's got a point. To me, watching non-commentary gameplay is kind of boring.
Re: E3 2014: Zelda Wii U Looks So Great You Really Should Put It On Your Desktop
I already have. This is probably the most beautiful game I've ever seen. People who want dark and gritty, go play dark souls.

Re: Check Out This Gorgeous Metroid Prime Visual Feature
Ok now I want a Metroid made in the Ubi-art engine.
Re: The Wii U Version Of Super Smash Bros. Will Utilise The NFC Nintendo Figurine Platform
I'm guessing in order to customize your move sets, you will need to have the figurine. That way you can take it with you if you go play smash at a friends house, and it will contain all of your data.

Re: Video: This LEGO The Hobbit Launch Trailer Prepares You for the Quest
Heard the Wii U version got delayed in North America until April 22nd. And only the Wii U, which is very strange.

I'm perfectly content with my Zelda 3DS XL. I love it.
Re: Preview: Mario Golf: World Tour
As much as I like Wii Sports Club for the U, I wish they would've made it Mario Sports Club. That would've pushed some systems I think.

Re: The Year of Luigi Officially Ends on 18th March
I completely forgot there was a Miiverse community. I guess that shows how often I use Miiverse.

Re: Interview: Shin'en Multimedia on the Wii U Difference for Art of Balance
240fps is crazy. I can't wait for this. Hopefully they can make Fast Racing Neo at least 60fps. That would awesome!
