Well, as long as it focuses on more substansive content. Like many comments are saying, Mario Kart 8 was a prime example. Like say for a Metroid title, the DLC could be this whole new section in the game with new power-ups and goodies. Something like that

I've been looking for more 3D platformers to play aside from Mario. This may tickle my interest, but not quite my standard of expectations.

The only really solid production by Illumination I feel was Despicable Me (The first one). Even it had its flaws. If they go for the generic Mario traverses the world and fights Bowser to save Peach, then it'll more than likely be dull. Maybe they should pull a Super Mario Galaxy and include more involving story elements. Then again, to see the more comedic side of Bowser fleshed out, would make it worth it.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for me. Have been trying break records in Time Trials. The new approach of being able to do 200cc Time Trials is pretty intense and fun.

This sounds interesting... I try to get myself excited for more Sonic, but then again, I think I try to hard to like the games. I've always enjoyed any game that involves fast pace as an integral aspect, but Sonic's execution of fast rarely rolled (no pun intended) with me. Well, except, for Unleashed and maybe Generations. I like how they tested your ability to react quickly to obstacles. If we see another boost style game similar to Unleashed, then I wouldn't be too disappointed.

This looks kind of exciting. I would love to have a Mario Kart game I could access anywhere at anytime. It may not have the length or depth of a console game, but still fun. My reluctance come to the more mobile aspects. Would it be online plays only, such as Sonic Forces: Speed Battle's approach and how much content would be buried under extra payments?

Sounds like Metroid.... hmmm..... Maybe something to get interested in....

O_o! THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME!!! They successfully wired the controller into the car, and it the thing was successfully driving the car! MAN, THAT IS SO COOL!!!

Where are the Tron characters?!? The Lone Ranger is even coming, but there are complete absences of Tron characters...

Fun looking game btw, though it's not really anything I am looking forward to right now.

This game is trying my frickin' patience. I really want more day time levels, but have to wait REALLY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG with those partially boring werehog levels. The daytime levels are really fun, but are so few in number. The boring cutscenes just pauses the game's progression and is just ANNOYING!!! The 3D for daytime Sonic is not perfect, but is still fun and I have to admit, the Wii remote and nunchuck aren't that bad. I have to say, the drift and quick step are cleverly done, but the boost has its flaws. The Wii controls aren't that bad for werehog either, though levels are still just... wrong.

The graphics and animations are pretty awesome. The cinematics are absolutely beautiful and clear for the Wii. It's almost HD. If it were enhanced with HD, than that would be awesome. The design of the bad guys on the nighttime levels are pretty neat-- You know what, everything just looks graphically awesome.

The music is great, but not always. The title screen orchestra is well-played and interesting and so is the daytime levels, but the werehog levels' music is boring. The voice-acting is ok, but it lacks clear volume. I like the SFX though. Their loud and clear. Especially when doing a homing attack combo, it sounds pretty nifty.

Overall, Sonic Unleashed apparently has flaws. These are different kinds of flaws from normal though. The werehog levels poorly introduces different gameplay; especially with it being on a game that also has the series's traditional gameplay. That is poorly escaping a game franchise's tradition, but another major problem is the impatience this game causes with its really slow story progression. The villages and the werehog levels is what causes it to be so. The graphics are freaking awesome and really proves that non HD gaming still looks nifty, but the music and audio have their lags. While 35% percent of the game is mainly a joyride the 65% is boring and tries gamers' patience.

6.5/10.

You know what, this is a BIG disappointment.

Yeah this is kinda disappointing. I kinda did like Subspace.

Though the Mario pics are good. Especially @Dev's "Let's a rumble" thing!

Whoops I didn't expect the pic to be so small.

Here we go:

This is AWESOME!

No Metroid pics? Ugh, I can't post my favorite one... Samus is just not too cool these days...

Oh wow. Those big characters are freaking awesome! It's gonna be fun playing Hulk!

@WhoBeThat: No, I'm using my kindle fire. It can't play some YouTube videos.

Ugh dang, I am unable to watch the video for some reason. I wanna see some Stan Lee action.

This article is just AMAZING! Fantastic job, Mr Thomas. Everything that you said is VERY true and I couldn't agree more with everything. I mean, all of it, its just awesome.

Wow. Just wow.

It is nifty to see how Nintendo has changed over the years. They started out as a very successful company. I'll give an overview of what I think is Nintendo's progress:
NES/Famicon: Very successful
Gameboy: N/A for me at least
SNES/ Super Famicon: HUGE success
Gameboy Color: N/A once again
N64: Good, but lost to the PS1
Gameboy Advanced: N/A for seemingly most of the handhelds
GameCube: Didn't sell very well
DS: N/As
Wii: Underpowered console that had amazing game sells
3DS: Bad at first, but doing good now
Wii U: Starting fail

Back then, many companies that are third-party today were working for Nintendo in the classic days, but now some or maybe most of them wants to see Nintendo fall.

Great conversation, guys!

I am several years younger than most of you guys, so I started out playing NES games on the Wii Virtual Console. My mom and dad first bought Super Mario Bros 3. It was fun and the idea of the Wii remote sideways did seem very clever to memorialize the NES controller. Then there was Metroid which also had its fun, though it wasn't as great as the other Metroid games I have played. Mega Man 3 was the third NES (I think) game I played and was also really good. I can see why the NES sold well, because the games seem very great. I really think the NES is an amazing gaming console.

Only news for the Wii U.... again??? The Casino levels look nifty, but that is only on the Wii U version, what about 3DS?

@MrMario02: Hey that sounds pretty nifty, man. You have my appreciation.

Wow that is nifty. It is awesome to see kids' imaginations come to life. Especially with this. I mean that is just creative and amazing. I would like to make one of those one day. I really appreciate what the guy did. It is amazing and is quite touching.

I'm gonna freakin miss the Wii U's HD graphics, and I may end up playing this one the 3DS! Still, that game looks pretty nifty and I may add it to my hype train cart eventually.

Wait... This is in the Wii U page and my Wii U was stolen... Hopefully the color powers are the same for the 3DS version.

This is actually the next Wii game I am looking forward too. Even though I only have a Wii Remote and Nunchuck.....

Actually I found out I can watch the video and YES! YES!!!! YES!!!!!!!! I think Eagle was my favorite, though they are all awesome! ULTRA HYPE!!!!!

Uggh... Can't watch the video! What powers were shown and what our their powers?

Awesome! My favorite is the Master Sword in the Woods picture.

LOL! Well done guys!

LOL! It is fair to say the Legend of Zelda.

Wow. Amazing review. Great job, Mr Thomas.

After reading about the humor and and clever motives for this game, I am actually quite excited to buy and play this. The gameplay certainly does seem clever with an excellent story pace. I also can't wait to experience the humor of this game.

The future of the Wii U looks fantastic. With all these nifty games coming out, I'm sure Nintendo can get the boost it needs from that. MKWii got great sales and SSBB got amazing credit, so MK8 and SSBU could have the same incident, and that's a good incident! Some of those third-party games looks great too, especially Sonic Lost World. Heck, I am currently most hyped for Sonic Lost World.

I regret ever selling this! The levels are so epic along with nifty color powers. Though, I can't decide which is my favorite power... maybe Cyan Laser. I have the DS, but the Wii version is so much more epic and has a little more length. My mom says and cannot get this game back until I get a job and raise money, and by that time, the game is gonna be incredibly old and may not be in stores...

I am actually not too hyped about this...

@Crimson_Ridley: Oh yeah.... Hmmm....

@Geonjaha: Well, almost all Metroids released the year after the console and handheld released.
The NES released in 1985 and Metroid released in 1986
The Gameboy released in 1988 and Metroid 2 released in 1989.
The Gameboy Advanced released in 2000 and Metroid Fusion released in 2001.
The GameCube released in 2001 and Metroid Prime released in 2002.
The Wii released in 2006 and Metroid Prime 3 released on 2007.
All right, Nintendo may do what they did with Super Metroid (The SNES released in 1992 and Super Metroid released in 1994). I just gotta be patient....

Metroid.... Come on.... It is suppose to release this year......

@Big-Luigi will probably want to know about Dream Team releasng soon.

EVERYONE really liked the two Super Mario Galaxies. I would appreciate a sequel, prequel, or maybe an equivalent to those games. Especially for the Wii U.

@element187: You've made a great point there. I understand now.

They are avoiding Metroid..... That is just angering me. Don't they see the potential of a Metroid game on the Wii U? A new Metroid was supposed to be announced by now. The Wii released on November 2006 and Metroid Prime 3 released on August 2007. The Wii U released on November 2012, but no Metroid has been announced for this August. I have had enough of everything but Metroid. Too much Mario, Zelda, Mii games, and everything else. Metroid could empower the Wii U due to the strong gamepad capabilities it could hold. I can't see why Nintendo is avoiding that. >:[

No new Metroid game? Darn......

Mr Sakurai always makes good decisions for his games.

The Wii U does have games that make incredible usage outta it, though it may not always be necessary. Off-TV play is certainly a nice feature. I really like the dual screen concept with the DS and 3DS; it is very creative and works well with a lot of games. I wouldn't mind a single screen in the future, but another dual would be great too. Second-screen may be a new and great step into video game evolution.

Awesome DLC!

@Fingeldor: Your welcome. Once again, fantastic post.

@Fingeldor What you said is AWESOME, man. Double thumbs up
