Sounds like they should be suing Microsoft for their kinnect. Since it uses cameras and tracks body movement. Nintendo wii and wii u work differently. This is so obvious.
Holy crap! I can't believe Nintendo UK gets all that cool stuff. They offer SOOOOOOOO MUUUUUCHHH COOOOOLLLLL stuff!!!!! Nintendo of America only offers like 5 things. 3 of which are pencil erasers and rainbow Wii Mote straps.
Im just not excited to be a Nintendo console owner. Especially when Nintendo doesnt remind me of how fun it could be through advertising and releasing great games, having 3rd party support to get owners excited.
Im a male 27 yrs old and my wife is 30. We play Nintendo. But when we were on the internet, youtuben it or watching Netflix or Hulu cuz thats what we do when were not gameing. We see Playstation and Xbox commercial all the time. Never for Wii U. I think I saw one picture add of 3D World pop up on her ipad while she was playing HayDay and we both got all excited.... like wow... Mario! Lol. C'mon... whats the deal qith Nintendo lately?! What are they thinking? Im really curious because I we both have a 3DS and 1 Wii U and its true, she ditched her 3DS for the iPad and I havent turned my Wii U on since 3D World released.
Yes! I agree, I know the Wii U is capable of making an amazing Zelda for Wii U. The amount lf beautiful stunningness (coined) coming from Mario Kart 8 has proved that to me. Granted that game isnt as wide open or on a scale of The Legend of Zelda. But it doesnt matter. I just know itll look beautiful.
Okay now if this ends up looking better than the actual Zelda U trailer than Nintendo should be worried.
I think it looks beautiful. Its fun to see peoples different interpretations of their fav games. Id love Nintendo to make a more realistic Super Mario just because I'd think itd be interesting. I mean they did the complete opposite with LOZ in Windwaker. Maing it more animated. So why not make animated Mario more realistic?
I almost never click on these Smash Bros screen shots simply because i don't really want much of the look or characters featured to be spoiled for me. BUT is it just me or are the 3 DS graphics starting to look really out dated?
1. Better quality Speakers! 2. High resolution screen 720p OLED. 3. Two analog sticks. 4. 8mp camera 5. more customizations i.e. wallpaper options apps E-Mail, bring back swap note
Didn't they show and announce Super Smash Bros. Last year?... ! weak. ooooh owwww... a Demo? I remember back in my day they had Nintendo game demos At every Target and Fry's electronics and toys r us, they were everywhere!!!!! now it's only at a select few best buys?! WTF is happening to the world of video games? weak
@arkady77 Project CARS is one of the few if not the first Racing simulator game for Nintendo ever! To me this game is high up in anticipation as one of the games I cant wait to play. Ive been excited for It since I saw it in a sizzle reelin the feb 2013 direct! Whew... didnt know I could still be excited for a game that long. I wish I could say im still excited for watch dogs but im not.
I am most excited for PROJECT CARS on Wii U !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
90’s Nintendo will always be better. Mario 64 is better looking than any new Super Mario game. Mario use to look cool. Not so obviously aimed at toddlers. "Wall kick will work” it was challenging. There were elements of creepiness. Like the Thwomps mean face and the fiery painting you jumped through. Now the Bosses all look adorable like Plessy … The textures looked more tone down and as if they could continue they would strive to continue to look more realistic but instead they look super bright and reflectively shiny. The music even seemed better in Mario 64 to me. though the music is the only thing that still remains just as good if not better. Better in sound quality obviously but the songs like the one you heard throughout Basement in Mario 64 or that awesome japanese instrument in Shifting Sand Land. I’m just asking… what happened Nintendo?...
Wow... if Nintendo does this... and continues this trend and investors don't demand someone else in charge. Nintendo will run itself into the ground. This sounds like the dumbest thing they could possibly do. retarded. they lost me. i think... i think they just lost me forever.
@Agent721 exactly. you're someone who understands. It's Nintendo's job to attract fans. sell me a product i feel i need. must have. don't sell crap and blame the consumer for not supporting you. fans aint their mother, we're not gonna tell them everything they make is wonderful. we are consumers. and you said it perfectly... they drove fans to game elsewhere. sad. Yes ! i got an N64 a year ago.. love that thing.. in fact it's really the last console Nintendo made that i had the most fun on.. because of the wide range of games available. The Wii Sucked in my opinion... they lost my business when Wii Fit came out. ... i thought man... what a crap gimmick. now the wii u is here... i thought all right!... this will be cool .......nope! the 3DS is pretty good though.. i haven't loved a handheld as much since gameboy color released.
@MuchoMochi I couldnt agree more! Is he trying to turn a video game company into a fitness fad gimmick?! Wow! Iwata, just make GAMES!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god what happened Nintendo? I am done. I am done being a fan unless they come backwith real games. UUNBELIEVABLE!
I'm a lil over saturated with platforms... so no donkey kong for me.... i guess I'll be in a drought until May. Then Smash Bros. coming out holiday 2014 for sure.. so ?.,., is that it?! seems like a slow year.
@rjejr Ive been wondering the same damn thing! Is there a single thing releasing this year or soon other than another platformer and mario kart? You make a lot of sense. Sad but true...
@Collz Very true. ... they're supposedly marketing to kids but... i'll tell you. most kids in the US don't want a wii u... it's nintendo fans from the early days that want a wii u.... and even they don't want it... so?..... maybe that should be a clue to you Nintendo... shake up
@8bitforever Wow.... I agree wholeheartedly. I'm a huge fan of Nintendo but I haven't been all that impressed with their consoles for years. in fact the 3DS made me realize that.. i'm loving the 3DS which is funny cuz i hated the DS with a passion. as much as i hated the wii. there were only 3 games i remember liking on the wii. twilight princess Mario Galaxy 1, and Excite Truck. thats it.... This Wii U just sits there... its sad.
I agree about the VC.. they need an account system... i've boycotted buying games digitally from them because of it... i didn't know it was tied to the hardware until i found out online... sucks.
@DestinyMan I really think the DS and Wii Sucked so hard... i mean compared to every Nintendo Console and handheld before them... they were the worse in my opinion.. But the 3DS is now the best imo ... i hope i can make that same statement about the Wii U soon
"please unda stan" game take longer to make than we originally antic cipaterd . man they should get someone younger or with a drive and dream for nintendo... this crap is getting old. improve 3rd party relations and get some games out. games everyone wants to play... not saying they have to be mature rated to be good... but would it hurt to have some dark or slightly gory stuff in SOME of the games? most kids i know play crap like COD so why not bring a little more edgy games like METROID or .... wait for it... prepare yourself .......... An all new Game! *GASP! i know ... I know .... shocking right? ...... naaaah they're gonna make chibi robo. this is why the gaming industry is frustrated and mocking Nintendo.
@Spoony_Tech @JaxonH I'm excited and i think it looks really good! i mean if the first Yoshi's Island was crayon then i'd say this looks like colored pencil !

Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life
90’s Nintendo will always be better.
Mario 64 is better looking than any new Super Mario game.
Mario use to look cool. Not so obviously aimed at toddlers.
"Wall kick will work” it was challenging. There were elements of creepiness. Like the Thwomps mean face and the fiery painting you jumped through.
Now the Bosses all look adorable like Plessy … The textures looked more tone down and as if they could continue they would strive to continue to look more realistic but instead they look super bright and reflectively shiny.
The music even seemed better in Mario 64 to me. though the music is the only thing that still remains just as good if not better. Better in sound quality obviously but the songs like the one you heard throughout Basement in Mario 64 or that awesome japanese instrument in Shifting Sand Land.
