Didn't know Seinfeld played Nintendo.....

@roadbuc - I'm also in my 30's and because I don't have countless hours for gaming like I had when I was younger, I tend to gravitate towards games that are easy to pick up and have a quick play. Games like Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8 are perfect for this.

Toon Link, Mega Man and Sonic for me thank you very much.

This Direct was ok.
I enjoyed Mario Kart 8 DLC, Splatoon, X and Shovel Knight becoming available for download.

Also Duck Hunt for VC and Smash.

@erv: What about Call of Mario: Advanced Mushroom

Mario FPS anyone?

Super Smash Bros. Demo available after their broadcast tomorrow.

EU release date for Shovel Knights.

Mario Kart 8 DLC.

Good news is always welcome.

As if the Wii U didn't have enough problems........

Awsome video.
I was 13 back when this video was made. Had some great times with the Sega Megadrive. I borrowed a friend's Megadrive and was instantly hooked. Coming from the NES at the time, my jaw was on the floor when I saw the graphics.

I missed out on this one back in the day. Will definitely be picking it up. Hopefully a PAL version is not too far off.

I couldn't keep the smile off my face while watching this video. Dang, I must have looked like an idiot. Thankfully no one saw me LOL.

Picked this up immediately upon release.

Playing the top down Zelda like level in Super Mario 3D World, I couldn't help but want a top down Zelda game in glorius HD. Who knows, anything can happen. Naturally this should not be in the place of a full scale 3d title.

Not disappointed at all. I would've been surprised if the spring release date was legit. As long as Mario Kart 8 doesn't get delayed I'm happy.

@ThomasBW84 - Thanks for answering my question regarding the pro controller.

It's funny, a lot people have been wanting more unique uses of the gamepad, but I am quite content to use only my pro controller wherever possible. Even during the Wii's lifespan, I longed for a more conventional control scheme.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still hyped for this game and by no means is the occasional mandatory use of the gamepad a deal breaker.

Great review. My copy is pre-ordered but unfortunately we are only getting the game on the 29th in my country. I'm quite excited for this one.

@ThomasBW84 - Can you play the single player campaign with the Pro Controller?

I enjoyed that.

I'll be keeping my eye on this one. I've been looking for an excuse to finally pick up a circle pad pro. This might be it.

@NEXTGENRULE - No doubt mistakes were made with the launch of the Wii U but just remember, the PS4 isn't out yet. I hope for your sake (and mine) that the PS4's launch goes as well as you are anticipating.

As far as Mario 3D World is concerned, I'm very excited. It feels like I'm back in the 80's waiting for a new Mario game to launch.

The plan is:

Lego City Undercover (Wii U) - collecting more goodies
Mega Man 2 (Wii U)
Animal Crossing New Leaf

Would've love to play Zelda Wind Waker HD this weekend but the retail release has been delayed till 15 Nov in my country

@ThomasBW84 - The preview mentions support for the Wii U Pro Controller in multiplayer. Can we use the pro controller during the single player campaigne? I do hope so.

I want the Mario one. I can see this Christmas season being an expensive one for me. Please, don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining.

Wii U version for me. Looking forward to this one.
Might pick up the 3DS version if it's that good.

Donkey Kong? Donkey Kong who?..........

No downloads for me this week. Just a fresh retail copy of Zelda Wind Waker HD. Should be a treat. Never played the original.

Lots of Zelda love this year. Also looking forward to Link Between Worlds.

@LordJumpMad - Yeah, bring on the baby games. lol

I'm not a fan of GTA at all. I'm also in my 30's (36) and I don't have time for pointless violence, sex and bad language in games. Apparently these games are for the "mature" crowd. Nothing mature about that in my opinion.
Another issue is the multitude of kids who will be playing this. I can appreciate the game from a technical perspective, but the moral issues I have with this game overrides everything else.
Unless I'm playing a racing simulator, I don't want my games to be realistic. As Waveboy mentioned earlier, I like my games to be whimsical and colorful.
And above all, I must be able to play a game with a clear conscience.

For me it's Lego City. Just finished the story mode and on to getting 100%.

Also a bit of Need for Speed Most Wanted and Nintendo Land on the side.

Need to finish these games before Zelda Wind Waker HD come out.

This sounds awsome. As far as what Capcom thinks of it, WHO CARES! You snooz, you lose. Capcom should've done a modern Mega Man ages ago. I really hope the developers reach their targets for the console releases.

As long as we don't have an account based system, I will not be making any major digital purchases. As long as I can get my hands on a physical copy of a game, I'll go with that. Maybe my arm can be twisted to take a gamble here and there, but there will be no major financial investment in digital content from my side until Nintendo has resolved this issue.
Once Nintendo removes this fear off losing all your content (and the hassle to transfer from one system to another), I do believe they will see the sales of digital content take off like never before. It absolutely baffles me why they haven't addressed this issue yet because it's a big one.

Recently picked up a Wii U and need to spend some decent time with it. Will probably play Need for Speed Most Wanted Wii U and Nintendo Land with some Ducktales on the side.

Sound's great. Now start praying so that Europe gets it before 2015.

Will pass on this. Just couldn't get into Origins back then. The visuals are stunning though.
Also hanging back for Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.

Talk about flogging a dead horse. The WiiU will be around for a good few years. If they change hardware too quickly, it can damage consumer confidence in the brand. Especially following the huge 3DS price cut not too long ago.

I'm confident that the Wii U will be in a different position by the end of 2014. As long as they continue to push out quality software backed by a strong marketing campaign. Nintendo did a pretty good job turning the 3DS around so, everybody must just relax.

Looking WayForward to this one!

I know it's a terrible pun, just couldn't help myself

The creativity in this game looks off the charts. Seems to have great variety also. This is shaping up quite nicely.

I'm very interested in this and will definitely pick it up.
I never owned the wii version but borrowed it from a friend back when it was released, over a weekend and finished it (not 100%). It's a great game to say the least.
I'm also not bothered with the 3DS version, too small. This type of game is meant for the big screen imo.
Can't wait to pick this up.

This is my 1st animal crossing game. I was skeptic at first to be honest, and felt like a gamble when I bought the game. But now I can't put the darn game down. Absolutely brilliant.

I'm really looking forward to this title so I'm disappointed about this. It's quite a hefty delay and makes one think that they have decided to add something at the last minute.

Let's face it, Nintendo needs to lift the veil on some incredible goodies. Lots of people are prophesying doom for the WiiU but I am not too bothered by that. Once some solid games are rolling out or are on the horizon, the machines will start flying of the shelves.

To touch on what Tom mentioned about a price drop, I will actually be surprised if that doesn't happen very soon.

I don't have much interest in the PS4 right now, and even less in the XboxOne.

The Nintendo games I'm looking forward to this E3 are Mario Kart, 3D Mario, Smash Bros, Retro's new offering, some 3DS love and some other surprises to spice things up.
I have a feeling this is going to be a good one. It's a good thing I'm working from home.

I want this on the 3DS VC.

Nintendo sure needs to release it this year. Probably closer to Christmas/holiday season though.

I personally think a big E3 presentation is always a good thing. But with the world focused on E3 it is a good idea to promote Nintendo Direct. If you think about it, E3 happens once a year while Nintendo Direct is not limited in the same way. Nintendo Direct is also a far more effective way of delivering Nintendo news on an ongoing basis.

But for those who are not on the Nintendo bandwagon yet, E3 can be the platform to get those individuals on board. I say give the people both.

No Nintendo Letter Box update
What's up with that? Oh well, at least Mega Man 3 is there to ease the pain.

Not interested. I'm not a fan of survival horror games at all. Looking forward to Renegade Kid's Mutant Mudds 2 though.

Ok Capcom, you can stop teasing us now.

No problem here. Guess I'll be picking this up then.

Johnny 5 is alive!!! All of a sudden I am overwhelmed by flash backs from the 80's.

Anyone here old enough to remember Short Circuit back in the 80's?
Good times

Yes Please!
Hopefully we will have an EU release date soon
