Gamecubed

Just sitting here waiting for news of a physical release for NA...

I would have bought it. First Epic Mickey game was good, second game sucked.
Always preferred Donald and Goofy over Mickey, honestly.

My older sister is a financial advisor with one of the major banks here in Canada. They have a private staff forum type thing where they can talk about their work experiences, share work stories and give work advice. She told me that 95% of the topics on the staff forum are about Pokemon Go.

I imagine they've had a few situations now (some people are unbelievably careless while playing Pokemon Go) and decided the easiest way to deal with it is to make the staff not have the app at all.

Sun version probably with Litten as my starter, I'll have to see all of evolutions to make my final choice.

Would like to see what these games have to offer in terms of post-game content though. The more recent games have been incredibly skinny when it comes to post-game.

The Team Skull guys remind me of the inklings from Splatoon for some reason.

A little annoyed that I literally JUST bought Yoshi's Woolly World for $60 for just the game....

At least I can finally get my hands on Lego City Undercover for a decent price, that's good. I've had a heck of a time finding it. Might also jump at the Captain Toad box and Nintendogs.

That picture just makes me sad because it's true.

What kind of theme park are you going to, where it is so boring that you have to whip out your 3DS and play Disney Art Academy?

I honestly don't know if even Nintendo knew what their concept was for the Wii U. After watching the DYK Gaming episode on the Wii U, it seems like no one knew exactly what they were doing or where they were going with it.

I've enjoyed my Wii U, I have almost 30 games for the system, but it just feels like there is wasted potential there.

Really not a big fan of digital, but I really wanted to play Fast Racing Neo. Glad to see it getting a physical release. If these come out in NA, I will be buying them.

Looking forward to adding it to my Wii U collection regardless.

If the price is right, I'll probably get it and then add it to the backlog. I like supporting the releases we get on Wii U as much as possible and I'm glad Nordic is stepping up to the plate. I really don't imagine it selling incredibly well on any of the systems, especially the Wii U.

Played the second one on PS3 and enjoyed it, though I didn't finish it for whatever reason.

Not gonna lie, the cover alone basically sold this on me.

I think it's funny they clarified that this is from the team that brought us Colors and Generations, because those are probably the only two above average Sonic games in the last decade.

I think I live in Pallet Town, right near Route 1.... all I find is Pidgey and Rattata.

I think if the NES mini does well, Nintendo will do a SNES version eventually.
Would love to see N64 and Gamecube versions as well.

I love MJR's channel so much, so many great hidden gems videos and in-depth console videos.

I got really excited when I found out about this thing actually existing. I love the N64, and I'm incredibly curious to know what is on this disk. Can only hope word gets out to the right people and someone reaches out to him about it sooner rather than later.

I'm getting three of these things. One for myself, one for my dad and one for my sister. The price is fair enough. I feel like this is something we've been asking for silently for a while. I've always wanted a Nintendo version of "Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection" that came out on PS3/360, but this will do just fine.

I think if this does well (and I think it will do EXTREMELY well based on the reactions I've seen today), Nintendo may do a SNES version and maybe even an N64 version in the future. I would buy those too.

I have a feeling that this will sell quite well.

I'm buying this.
I've also decided that I'm buying one for my older sister for Christmas because she keeps wanting to borrow my NES.

I got this and haven't played it yet. I love the old point-and-click games, and I'm a little disappointed the gamepad isn't utilized like I'd imagined. But I am happy Nordic is taking some initiative to bring games to the Wii U (Legend of Kay, Books of Unwritten Tales and they've recently confirmed that they're working on another game for the system right now).

Honestly, these types of point-and-click games, RTS/TBS games and world building type games seem like the logical fit for the Wii U gamepad and for some reason nobody is doing them. I mean, genres that have previously been pretty much exclusive to the PC or just better on the PC could have translated well to a console for once.

Will keep an eye on this one. Really enjoyed Hotel Dusk.

I takes the entire duration of the game to adapt to the controls. By the time you have it figured out and are having fun, the game is over. You can go back and replay the levels (which I did a few times), but not everybody wants to do that. Bill's comment rings true to this. Games are becoming a consumable thing and many people will just play it through once and move on to the next one. You can't do anything about that though.

The fight with Pigma in Star Fox Zero was freaking painful though. You couldn't just chase him and shoot him. You had to keep doing U-Turns and Barrel rolls in the same place to get a shot at hitting him. I turned the game off for a week after that fight.

Also, I personally believe Pikmin 3 is the best game on the system, next to Mario 3D World.

EDIT: also somehow forgot to mention Bayonetta 2 as one of the best games on the Wii U. Haven't had my coffee yet, obviously.

They'll probably be able to sink 2 million sales on the Wii U version alone.

Out of all of the problems Mighty Number 9 had, being on too many platforms is probably at the very bottom of the list.

You can download an app for this game that turns your smartphone into a motion controller. At least, that's how it is for the Wii U/XB1/PS4 versions. Mystery possibly solved?

I think it's obvious that Nintendo firmly believes that they have something special here. Who am I to question that? I think we need to appreciate that Nintendo has taken a big chance here and they have clearly pulled away from the formula. From what I watched, it reminds me a bit of the Witcher 3. But when I played the Witcher 3 for the first time, I thought of it as the 'M-rated Zelda', and maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. I remember when I was playing and I found myself saying 'oh, it'd be cool if they had that in the next Zelda game'.

I almost see this game as if the format of the original Legend of Zelda from the NES had translated over and gotten to evolve in 3D instead of having the series stuck in the "3 dungeons-plot twist-more dungeons-endgame" pattern. I feel like this is the natural progression of the original Legend of Zelda.
I've been excited about this game ever since they first announced they were working on a new Zelda game. It'll be a day one buy for me. Would love to get some info on the story and some characters and I'd like to see some towns too. But, I'm happy with what I saw.

As for Nintendo's E3... er... showing two games just doesn't cut it for me. But with the Wii U on the way out... can you blame them? They probably don't have a lot to show that isn't NX related. I would have liked to have seen Paper Mario Color Splash though.

I think Sony brought the heat again this year. Next year with the NX will be definitely be the E3 to watch though. Metroid is coming, I just know it.

After reading this, it does seem that Nintendo is at least open to having Zelda as a player character in a game, and that makes me happy enough.
Maybe she'll have her own DLC pack in the future to test the waters or something? Who knows.

Not shocked in the least.
They know that they can get it out of people. They'll probably get it out of me for Blue.

I feel like they pretty much made up for E3.

Was pleasantly shocked and surprised that Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow are coming to VC. Never thought that would happen. Definitely going to be replaying Blue.

Looks like they're going to do the proper unflipped Gamecube version. I played on GC first and when I played on the flipped Wii version, I was terribly confused.
Can only really see the difference when they're side by side though. It's not like WWHD where the change was notable from the get-go. Of course, this isn't out until March of next year, so there is still plenty of time to smooth it all out. I don't think it was completely ready in time for the Direct, but after all the leaks and whatnot, I think it kind of forced Nintendo's hand a bit.

Enjoying the demo. Definitely going to buy the full game
It'll be my first DBZ game since Burst Limit.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.
On one hand, it's probably in his contract that he can't speak publicly about his work and he should have known better. We all know how crazy Nintendo is about their image.

On the other hand, it's very sad that the guy has a family to care for and he got canned for appearing on a small podcast. It's not like he said anything bad.

Just PR blabber.

The games that should be on the Wii U aren't there.
How about an RTS or a TBS or some sort of world building game? They would probably translate very well and be amazing on the system.

I've had my Wii U for two years now. I didn't mind the gamepad at first, but now I just find it incredibly annoying.
Wish they would stop "innovating" and use that money on improving the system's power and making games instead.

1.0 was superior to 2.0 in most ways. It was simple but it offered variety, whereas most of the sets in 2.0 are just the same thing every time.

Their classic characters and films that would sell like hotcakes don't even get proper playsets and instead trickle in as single figures.
I mean, if 3.0 came out with a Beauty and the Beast or Little Mermaid or Alice in Wonderland or Lion King set, I'd lose my mind.
I mean, I like the figures. They're really nice, but 3.0 isn't even on my radar (aside from Mulan).

At this point, I would be shocked if Zelda U doesn't pull a Twilight Princess.

I haven't been on Miiverse in over a year. Don't intend on looking at it any time soon.

Really, all they needed to do was create their own version of XBL and PSN... but instead they made Nintwitter.

Most of these are characters that should have been there from day one. Voted for Ariel.
My heart hurts that most of the votes go to a character that I've never even heard of.

And why isn't it "Classic" Alice and Mad Hatter?

Will definitely be picking one of these up if and when they hit the market.

This is the pro controller Nintendo should have done.

I have so many questions now. But I guess it's not like I need another game to add to the mounting backlog stack.

And why is Yoshi's Woolly World not coming out until the fall in NA?

Shenmue 1+2 HD and I'll reconsider my stance.

I'll probably buy it. The first game is like a guilty pleasure of mine. It's surprisingly good. It's like Animal Crossing, but it's not. If you can find a copy of it for a good price and if you like Disney, I say go for it.

Aladdin and Jasmine got me to buy 2.0..... I more-so just wanted to figures because they are REALLY nice.
And now I have a disgusting collection of these things. I hardly play the actual game.

But Howard the Duck? Seriously!? I watched that film for the first time last year, and I felt like my eyeballs needed a shower.

Just mountains out of molehills again. Not a big deal.

I really enjoyed Epic Mickey. The camera could be horrendous though, and sometimes I found that I couldn't make jumps. It's a flawed game, but I liked it. I usually recommend it when people want pick up some good Wii games.

Didn't play the second one, but I have heard that the Wii version is the best version gameplay wise.

I think it was a mistake to even mention the NX in the first place.

Definitely buying this. Looks great. I haven't really played a DBZ game in years.
Only having 20 characters doesn't bother me. I usually only play as Vegeta, teen Gohan and Android 18 anyway.

I think my soul died a little bit as soon as I read the title.
It probably would have been fantastic with Criterion at the helm. Having F-Zero day one by the guys who did Burnout and Most Wanted.... oh man.

But let's take something positive out of this. At least we know that they had an interest in F-Zero on the Wii U.

Maybe we'll get F-Zero NX?

99% of the time, suits from companies don't come out and flat out say "I'm sorry" unless they've done something absolutely horrible. In which case, there's nothing to apologize for here.
Yeah, the presentation was pretty ho-hum and we're getting the exact opposite of what everybody wants. But dear lord, they're a video game company, they screwed up and people are acting like they just gave everybody cancer.

The muppets were hilarious, I'll give them that. But seeing them now just makes me think of the slight disappointment. E3 had been pretty good. We'd had some pretty good showings from everybody in some way shape or form. So we were expecting Nintendo would follow suit. But it honestly felt like they were saying "hey, thanks for coming out.... we'll see you in 2016".

I'm not happy about this either, but a petition to cancel a game? Dear god...
Just a little ignorant. I feel bad for the folks at Next Level.
