I think they should add Saturn and Dreamcast games to the Wii U's VC as well as newer arcade games.
I also think that all Wii downloads should be available on the Wii U eshop. I also think that you should be able to play Wii games on the same channel as Wii U games. If Nintendo do all this, then there won't be any need for a Wii mode on the Wii U.
Normally I prefer to buy games physically but this is probably better for me due to the boxart as I'd probably end up buying it physically if that was an option.
Its good that Fractured soul will finally be releasing in Europe, I'll get that at some point and I might get Blaster master but its also Wii VC so I might get it on there instead.
Wow, they sure were lazy with the visuals of this game. Not only are there better looking DS games but the upcoming Mystery dungeon game actually looks like a 3DS game unlike this. So they put the effort into making a spin-off look like its actually on the console its for but not a new main series game. Also, the grass starter looks stupid as hell. Oh well, I don't care for this series anyway.
@Windy Sales often =/= quality. For example, some amazing games like Little King's story sell really badly yet utter crap like Carnival games sell really well.
The last story is a great game but not one of the best games on the Wii. It is a shame that America didn't get Pandora's tower though. I recently got it and its an awesome game!
Merry Christmas! I didn't get anything game related but I'm planning on buying a game with the gift cards and money I got for Christmas.My main present was a new laptop.
I'll probably get Super Mario bros.: The lost levels at some point and when I do, I'll probably be using a lot of restore points as it looks like a brutally hard game.
The price drops for Chasing aurora and Little inferno should be permanent as the original prices for them seemed overpriced considering the amount of content they have.
I love JRPGs but I'd rather not get one that plays like a table-top RPG with figures wobbling and dice rolling rather than actual characters moving around so I won't be getting this.
That's good to hear, this game looks awesome! I hope its not too hard for me as I'm not that good at rhythm games but this looks really fun. Hopefully, there will be a demo.
This seems like a tech demo so I think it should be free but it would be pretty cool to try out and it will be interesting to see how this is used in future Wii U games.
Yuck, this doesn't look anything like something out of a LoZ game. That generic middle-aged man looks nothing like Link. The artwork that @grimbldoo posted looks far better than this.
I watched all 3 and they were fantastic and very impressive. They also had a great sense of humour. I also really liked the Mario kart course made out of different Nintendo games.
@UnseatingKDawg Actually, there are many other DSiware games that are worth getting like Mighty flip champs, Reflect missile, Little red riding hood's zombie bbq, GO series: 10 second run etc.
I'm hoping for release dates for Animal crossing: New leaf and Shin megami tensei: Devil survivor: Overclocked as well as confirmation of localisations of Code of princess, Professor Layton vs. Ace attorney and Bravely default: Flying fairy but I doubt many of those will actually happen.
@HarmoKnight For a first-party M-rated game, they could make a HD version of Zangeki no reginliev (Japan-only Wii game) and localise that. That game looks awesome!
This game does seem like a lot of fun but it also looks very disappointing and it doesn't look as good as the other 3 games in the series. The great storylines and characters a part of what makes the series so great, especially the TTYD and SPM. Super paper Mario has a better story than some JRPGs I've played! I'm also rather skeptical about battles just being used to earn stickers and money and not getting exp. from them.
Not that I'm getting this but a different cover and gold painted pages is not enough to warrant the limited edition costing around $30 more than the standard edition.
It seems unlikely that it would be true but I hope it is. A 2D, HD Yoshi platformer developed by Good-Feel would be beautiful but while that would be awesome I would actually like to see a 3D Yoshi platformer even more as there has never been a 3D Yoshi platformer and I would really like to see how Nintendo could bring the series into 3D.
This definitely looks like the best NSMB game and easily looks like the best Wii U launch game, this would be my game of choice if I was getting a Wii U soon.
@Raiko It is, they've just listed the 3DSware release and the 3DS VC release in the same section. I'm surprised America didn't get anything new to download on the Wii U this week.
Fifty pounds is a ridiculous price! I don't plan on buying any retail games digitally but there's no way I'd pay that much for a game!
It looks like America got the better WiiUware launch line-up as Mighty switch force Hyper Drive edition looks far better than Puddle.
Anyway, I plan on getting Trine 2: Director's cut, Nano assault neo and maybe, Little inferno. I'm not sure about Little inferno as it doesn't seem to have enough content to justify its price.
I was more interested in Killer freaks than ZombiU. I'm not completely sure that I would have got KiIler freaks but I might have and I can't see myself getting ZombiU. It may make very good use of the gamepad but it doesn't seem too have much personality and Killer freaks did. I would have liked to blast those annoying rabbids to bits.
This isn't my sort of game but I never thought it would be that game and the lack of music videos makes it seem rather rushed. Also, the EU release date is wrong, its out on the 18th January.
Its sad to see the 3DS lagging behind its predecessor like that but at least its predecessor isn't outselling it by that much. Hopefully, the 3DS's sales will pick up in the west soon, although, I wouldn't mind if the DS more sales so that it becomes the best selling console of all time.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th January 2013 (Europe)
The prices for retail games on the Wii U eshop are ridiculous! I doubt I would ever pay £50 for one game.

Re: Indie Hit FEZ Is Finally Shaking Off XBLA Exclusivity In 2013
If it comes to a console I own, I won't buy it so that I don't support such a disrespectful developer.
Re: Project X Zone Suffers Massive Price Drop In Japan
@Windy Sales often =/= quality. For example, some amazing games like Little King's story sell really badly yet utter crap like Carnival games sell really well.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd January 2013 (North America)
I hope that Europe gets Galaxy saver, that looks like a fun game.
Re: Nintendo Life Wishes You A Happy New Year
Happy new year!
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd January 2013 (Europe)
Vampire crystals looks fun so I'll probably get that at some point.
Re: Naruto: Powerful Shippuden Confirmed For Western Release
I like Naruto but I've never seen the Rock Lee spin-off so I'm not sure I'd want this. Seeing Lee in a bikini at the end was kind of creepy though.
Re: The Last Story Was Almost Left Untold In North America
The last story is a great game but not one of the best games on the Wii. It is a shame that America didn't get Pandora's tower though. I recently got it and its an awesome game!
Re: Code of Princess Rated for European Release
@Phle Devil survivor overclocked now has a release date which is 22nd February.
Good to hear, this game looks awesome! Hope it doesn't take too long.
Re: Swords & Soldiers Battling Its Way To 3DS eShop Next Year
I never did get round to getting it on Wiiware. I'll wait for the review of the 3DSware version before deciding on the version that I'll get.
Re: Review: Rabi Laby (DSiWare)
After reading this review, I think I'll get this at some point.
Re: Review: Vampire Crystals (WiiWare)
I was hoping this would be reviewed positively and since it has, I'll pick it up at some point.
Re: Review: Cake Ninja XMAS (DSiWare)
Hopefully this is the last we see of this series.
Re: Review: Gunman Clive (3DS eShop)
Originally, I wasn't planning on getting this but after this review, I think I will. Great review!

Re: Nintendo Download: 20th December 2012 (Europe)
The price drops for Chasing aurora and Little inferno should be permanent as the original prices for them seemed overpriced considering the amount of content they have.
Re: Wizard Defenders
Looks quite good, I might get it unless its reviewed unfavourably.
Re: Review: Crimson Shroud (3DS eShop)
I love JRPGs but I'd rather not get one that plays like a table-top RPG with figures wobbling and dice rolling rather than actual characters moving around so I won't be getting this.
Re: Satoru Iwata is 53 Today
This may be late but Happy Birthday Iwata!
Re: Rhythm Hunter: HarmoKnight Heading To Europe And North America Next Year
That's good to hear, this game looks awesome! I hope its not too hard for me as I'm not that good at rhythm games but this looks really fun. Hopefully, there will be a demo.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th December 2012 (Europe)
Awesome! Wario land 3! I still need to get the previous WL games though. Also, I hope Virtual boy Wario land gets a 3DS VC release.
Re: Panorama View to be Sighted on Wii U eShop in Spring 2013
This seems like a tech demo so I think it should be free but it would be pretty cool to try out and it will be interesting to see how this is used in future Wii U games.
Re: You Need This Legend Of Zelda Figure In Your Life
Awesome pics! The Layton and Link ones are very funny.
@RupeeClock's pic made me laugh too.
Re: If Nintendo Ever Made A Mature Zelda, This Is What It Would Look Like
Yuck, this doesn't look anything like something out of a LoZ game. That generic middle-aged man looks nothing like Link. The artwork that @grimbldoo posted looks far better than this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th December 2012 (Europe)
I might Mighty switch force: Hyper drive edition once I've got a Wii U but I'm still not sure whether to get that version or the 3DSware version.
Re: Take A Whistle Stop Animated Tour Of Nintendo's Hardware History
Very cool video but the GBA should have been shown before the GC as that came out before it.
Re: Mario Comes To Life In Bead-Based Stop-Motion Animation

Re: Molyneux: Wii U Is Good, But It's Not Great
@NintendoKim I didn't know you had to like absolutely everything Nintendo did to be a fan of them. /sarcasm (in case it wasn't obvious)
Re: Nintendo's Wii U Marketing Currently Focusing On Core Fans
@HarmoKnight For a first-party M-rated game, they could make a HD version of Zangeki no reginliev (Japan-only Wii game) and localise that. That game looks awesome!

Re: 47,096 Perler Beads Made This Awesome Chrono Trigger Artwork
Wow, that's very impressive. He must also have a lot of dedication to spend so much time on that.
Re: Fractured Soul Demo Blasting Onto North American 3DS eShop
Hopefully it will get a European release date soon.
Re: Review: Nintendo Land (Wii U)
I thought this sounded like a fun game but after reading this review, it sounds much better than I expected. Great review!

Re: Two Brothers Developer Speaks Of Nintendo In Glowing Terms
I don't really like white outlines on the characters but it still looks pretty good and a 3D Earthbound certainly sounds interesting.

Re: Review: Trine 2: Director's Cut (Wii U eShop)
Good review, even if the puzzles and controls could be better, it still looks like a pretty good game so I'll still get it after I've got a Wii U.
