@Discostew glad I'm not the only perv around here then!

Ha!! I read the headline as adult entertainment system!! Lost all interest now I know it's not that

I have to say, I've been a ninty fan since the days of the nes. So I'm one of the more {i}mature guys here, not the most though thanks to @kit!!! The point of my senile ramblings here is that I've never actually played a Pokemon game in my life. I could be persuaded to try it out but I have no idea why the games are even about!!!

This one game is the reason why we need to start seeing GC games on the eshop. There are so many fantastic games to be played.

That game pad is huge!!!!!!!!!! Either that or he is a smurf in disguise.

Apart from the games already mentioned, I'd love to see a new starfox game and a new pilot wings game. Both need to be more like the snes and N64 games!!

I'm pretty sure theres a million copies of rayman legends sitting in a warehouse waiting to go! lets find it and break in!!!

I have been waiting for this one of a long time. I'm not getting my hopes up though as this is one of those games that has the potential to be a bit poo. How many games over the years have been hyped and delayed beyond belief? (Duke forever anyone?). Anyway if it is a good game I will get whichever version is best as I own all three consoles.

Dont worry kids, theres plenty of porn to watch while waiting for the restrictions to be lifted!! The wii U handles porn pretty well!!!

The update is the least of anyone's worries. The big thing Nintendo need to sort out is getting the wii u connected in the first place. I know I'm not the only one who had to manually do it. There will be a lot of parents buying this for their kids, who are not computer literate and will therefore not have clue wh to do. I had to take my wii u to my brothers so he could get it sorted. After the update I assumed it would connect ok back at my place, did it f**k!!! At least I knew what to do this time.

Happy wii u day agentxH, and a happy wii u year. I'll be off get mine in half hour and will be on the battlefield later.

@player310

I'm glad you said that as I was going to post the same thing. I remember back in the snes/megadrive (genesis) era, anything with THQ on the box was to be avoided like the plague. Anything they came out with was truly awful!

What they have conveniently ignored is the fact that the games industry as a whole has a tough time over the summer period. For years we have always moaned about the lack of anything happening over the summer. So even if sales do slow during that period, i doubt it would be anything to be too concerned about.

Well if NoA loves us so much...
Why am I even commenting? I live in England!!

@Marios-love-child

IMPOSTER!!!!!!!!

Or can Mario really not keep it in his pants!

Surely I'm not the only one who's surprised that MS, Sony and Nintendo have not released their own official HDD's?

Yes they probably would be a little bit more expensive than the rest, but at least you know it would be good to go straight out of the box.

Ok this is all far to serious and grown up so I'm just gonna say they should of been naked in the commercials. Thank you.

The elite stuff is really only any use if you get a hard on over COD. Otherwise its nothing to worry about. I have not bothered with it on the 360 and never will. You wont be missing out on anything.

I tried out using the vita with my ps3 a few months ago {before i sold the vita!}
It was actually a pain in the arse to set up. I doubt many ps3/vita owners a really bothering with that.

This is one game I don't see happening, although I really hope I'm wrong.
When it comes out I can easily get it for Xbox or ps3, but I'd just love to see Nintendo back at the top with all the big games. As they were in the 90's.

I was going to get that one but will stick with the premium now. Get zombi u separately and save a few pounds. The pro controller can wait as its not needed for this game.

Can anyone confirm whether N'land is in this pack or is it just zombi U?
Now im not that bothered with N'land but it could be fun to have a little play with.
Also, Ubisoft have been stressing the importance of the gamepad now for ages, so is the pro controller that important to have right now?

@THENAMESNORM Shopto have had that price for months.
Gamestation have just confirmed that we will be able to get the basic pack for £210 and the premium for £250

I'll take the premium one. As just said in another post, i hope this is going to be a worldwide Dec 8th launch. Nintendo cannot miss Christmas in Europe or the US

i really hope thats gonna be a worldwide launch on the 8th. If they miss christmas here in the UK (and Europe), they will really have a hard time. Not even nintendo can be that stupid can they?

Boo, I've got a blank screen

Are we all sitting comfortably then.

So we are all invited are we, will there be tea and cake?

If the three different prices turn out to be right then nintendoland (if it was bundled), wouldn't be free anyway. 250 for system only, 300 for system with N'land or 350 with N'land and extra controllers. It's only going to be free if it comes with all price ranges.

Did Nintendo ever say whether this would be online multiplayer or local multiplayer only? As other people have said, because i'm sad and lonely, i wouldn't have people to play against if it were local play only. All my friends only have 360's, i'm the only one left who still has a wii sitting alongside the 360 and ps3.

I'm one of the few people who doesn't want it bundled with the console.
Nintendo need to go old Skool and pack in a Mario game!! By that I mean new super Mario U.

HA! just found this, although it is from wikipedia so its about as trustworthy as a politician.

"Due to trademark issues over the name Star Fox in PAL region territories, Star Fox and Star Fox 64 were released in those countries as Star Wing and Lylat Wars respectively. However, Nintendo bought the rights before the release of Star Fox Adventures so future games could be released worldwide with the same name".

If the above is true then starvox has bugger all to do with it.

On a side note, when are we going to see the entry of Hamster McNibbles in the LylatFoxWing64AssultWars 3D U ???

OK, Ive just thought of something. If the snes and n64 games were changed due to ze germans, why do we have star fox on gamecube, DS and 3DS here in the UK and im guessing the rest of europe? NO name changes!!!

"Katsuhiro Harada: Well, it is kind difficult to mention much because we are focusing on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions as the PR focus"

That's the problem Nintendo are going to face with multi platform wii u games and third parties, they are going to focus on and advertise the 360 and ps3 versions.

Around £275 and 7th December sounds about right, but there's no way games will be as much as that. Probably not much less though as games for new consoles are always a bit more for the first year.

I couldn't really get into wave rave 64 when it was first released, but am enjoying it a lot more now. If Nintendo want to get some of the core audience back, bringing back some of the great snes and n64 games will do it. Wave race, f zero and pilotwings being 3 of them.

Even though I'm in the UK Ive always called it starfox. Probably because I couldn't wait for the original snes version to hit the UK, so I emptied my bank account (I was about 14 then) and bought the jap starfox along with a brand new convertor. The fx chip rendered older convertors useless.

Anyway, lylat wars was, is and always will be a crap name.

I'll be happy enough to get the more expensive bundles depending on what's in the box, but if getting it cheaper without something like nintendoland is an option, I'm going for that as I've got no interest in mini games and the pile of rubbish party games that's swamped the wii.

i like cheese on toast!

So i'm over the hill then, thanks for that.i kinda remember going into one of those newfangled games emporiums to purchase street fighter 2. It's all a bit hazy though as i memory isn't what it used to be.

@vonseux and @gazplant
Don't want to be picky but how ave you worked out ME3 is a year old game? It came out in march was just under 6 months ago. I get your point though, I do hope Nintendo don't try and use ME3 as a big selling point. As good as it is, it's not going to convert the non believers.

I can see this going the same way as the wii launch. Here in the uk we will get it beginning of December but there will be massive shortages for months after.

On a side note, we will also get a few people trying to get money out of Nintendo by going to the papers claiming the gamepad broke their tv!

Reminds me of the nes/snes days. All things Nintendo going well, and as nfzeta007 pointed out, wii u just a few months away now. Ooh I'm getting excited.

Got mine pre ordered too, i know im the only one but id rather it didnt come with nintendo land. Not interested in it at all. Although i think we would all be amazed if it doesn't.

@dirtyplastic

You were done mate! I remember paying about that for streetfighter 2 but mortal kombat cost me £45/£50

@nestalgic They never went out of fashion. That's what I like to tell myself anyway.

Don't really care about the article, can i have katy"s phone number tho!!
Promise i won't tell the wife.

One small step for gaming, one giant leap for Nintendo..

I'm not surprised in the the slightest, i had a feeling yesterday we would be seeing this happen. The nicest way to describe their e3 conference is "crap"

But as we all know, nintendo will come back fighting from this and come up with something fantastic, they usually do anyway. Still worried about the wii u though, especially as they are not budging on the name of the thing. Its been a year and i still hate it.

I thought nintendo wanted to go after the core gamers again, based on that its going to be a lot of mini game party crap again! sure there will be a few core games to begin with, but i don't think thats gonna last very long.

Terrible showing from nintendo. I'll be putting my wii u buying on hold for a while.
