Gamecubed

I'm trying to hold on to the hope that Nintendo will make more... but I may be tempted to get this.
I just got Smash a few days ago, and I'm adapting well to the Pro Controller... but I only have one Pro, and my friends dislike the wiimote/nunchuck set up and classic controller. I found the gamepad to be quite clunky for a game like this as well. So when I have them over, this would be handy since I do have four GC controllers sitting in my cupboard.

Misread the title.
I thought this was Nintendo going on a blitz and adding a ton of new VC games to the eshop

I haven't upgraded my 3DS to the 3DS XL yet because I know this thing is coming at some point in time... we just don't know when. I hardly play my 3DS because I can't stand that tiny screen anymore.
New 3DS XL, that's what I'm getting... whenever they decide to give us a release date. But I feel like this indicates that a European release is on the near horizon. And then the rest of us here in North America will sit and twiddle our thumbs for another three months or so.

I'd consider springing for it, no doubt.
If this is exclusive to the Nintendo World Store, I swear....

So basically "no F-Zero but we're now open to the idea".
Better than where we were last year, I suppose. The fact that they're doing Star Fox has renewed my hope for F-Zero.

I think with Nintendo really being the only one supporting the Wii U in 2015 and possibly onward, they need to open up their catalog and see what they can do to add variety.
It's pretty much assumed that Metroid will happen on Wii U, it's just a question of when and who will do it (though I'd like to believe Retro is working on "Prime 4" right now and someone else is doing a 3DS game). Star Fox is in development. It's just F-Zero that's still up in the air.

GX is one of my favourite games of all time, and it still looks pretty good. Even if they did F-Zero GX HD with the content from AX included, I'd be happy.

Could we assume that this means a European and North American release are coming sooner than expected?

Bayonetta 3DS/New 3DS?
Bayonetta Smash DLC?
Bayonetta 2 DLC?
Bayonetta 3!?!?!?

I seriously doubt we'll see anything new hardware wise any time soon. Throwing out a new system is not the answer to their problems, and they know that. So I think they'll ride the Wii U out for another three years and hopefully they've learned some hard lessons through all of this.

What do I want to see happen?
Off the top of my head... Good VC support, a larger hard drive, get rid of region locking, have the same amount of horsepower as the other guys so third parties can put their games on the system (but don't play catch up to the previous generation, top it so it can compete), make anything gimmicky completely optional, drop the Wii brand and have a true account system.
Oh and, they should try to advertise/bundle WITH third parties. And they need to give NoA and NoE more freedom.

I feel like most people have similar wishlists.

Emerald.... no wait.... maybe Heart Gold/Soul Silver....
I voted for Emerald, simply because the amount of times I've played through it over the years.

Melee and Smash Wii U are the best.
I didn't like the 3DS version at all. Brawl wasn't my cup of tea either. The N64 game is a classic, but it hasn't aged well.

Double Dash, hands down (Daisy Cruiser, enough said). But MK8 is easily my second favourite.

Canada has Boxing Day too.
So if any of our NL American friends feel like it, they can always check out some of the Canadian sites (ie. Amazon.ca, Future Shop, Best Buy) if they're interested.
Though the customs duties may put you off.

Remember when games based on cartoons were excellent?
Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom remembers.

I always wondered why Nintendo never got behind Shadow of the Eternals. Maybe that's what this is? If Bayonetta 2 and Devil's Third are any indicator, perhaps Nintendo has picked it up and decided to finish it? One can only dream. It would certainly add some diversity to the Wii U's library... and we all know that because of the lack of third parties, Nintendo has to find a way to fill those gaps.

Or maybe they intend to bring GC games to the VC?

Reading some of the comments about how stores in the UK only have a small section for Nintendo sounds familiar. In my area here in Canada, Nintendo only commands a very small portion in the video game sections of stores like Walmart. Even in something like Gamestop/EB Games, I find the Nintendo stuff is kind of back in the corner while they have Xbox and PS front and centre.
Maybe this is just my area though? I don't know. But the Wii U selection is always very limited wherever I go.... so I just buy all my stuff on Amazon nowadays to avoid wasting my time. I've only seen a handful of ads on TV for Nintendo as well. Xbox and PS4 are advertised like crazy on almost every station.

You can't blame the folks over in the UK, nor can you really blame the retailers for not stocking what doesn't turn a profit. Nintendo dropped the ball with the Wii U. Marketing has generally been poor everywhere, and the name is horrible. They also failed to realize that third party games need to be there in order to fill the gaps between major first party releases. People underestimate the selling power things like sports games. There are people who buy the new Fifa/NHL/Madden/whatever every single year. The average person will probably not buy more than one game system, so if you can't get the new Fifa/NHL/Madden on the Wii U, that's a drawback.

Zelda Wii U (I hope it has an official subtitle soon), Star Fox, Majora's Mask 3D, Uncharted 4, Arkham Knight, Bloodborne, No Man's Sky, Witcher 3, Halo 5 and Rise of the Tomb Raider.... 2015 is looking really good right now.

After E3 and last night's showing and Nintendo's consistently excellent quality this year.... I can't help but think there is something very wrong with people who aren't even slightly interested in the Wii U.

I wouldn't blame him for wanting to step down from the series. Obviously, it's a ton of work and stress, but also I imagine Sakurai doesn't want to keep doing the same series and wants to do other things (maybe even go out on his own). I think that's human nature.
Nonetheless, I hope he has a nice, long vacation. Thank you for all that you do.

I'm pretty much in that bracket of the original Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and Melee customers , so yeah, I'm not surprised.
Though I absolutely hated Pokemon Black/White, I liked X/Y and I'm enjoying Alpha Sapphire.

I also feel like Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon was another attempt by Nintendo to get the GBA/GC crowds to come back around (it worked on me).

The Wii U NEEDS a game like this nonetheless. Some kind of title like SImCity or Tropico or RollarCoaster Tycoon. The gamepad is perfect for it.

Maybe I'll finally get Metroid Fusion.

The fact that "best remaster" is even a category makes me roll my eyes. Bayonetta 2 has my vote. It deserves some recognition.

I think Nintendo is cautious of DLC, and that's okay. They know it's a slippery slope and they can come under a lot of fire very quickly if they screw something up. The DLC offerings they've done thus so far have been quite generous and meaningful compared to what most of us are used to. The MK8 DLC is fantastic.

As far as DLC characters go.... meh. Nintendo games are often packed to the ceiling with content, anything else is just icing on the cake. I don't think I'll get Smash on 3DS, so I probably won't get Mewtwo. I hardly used him in Melee anyway. But if they were to do DLC characters..... they have to have Bayonetta!

So they're like the Asari of the Mario universe?

I'll probably get Link, Zelda, Captain Falcon, Samus and Fox. Maybe Toon Link later on.
If anything, I just want them for display purposes.

I went from having zero interest in buying any amiibos to wanting majority of them.

Mute City, Hyrule Circuit and Dragon Driftway look sweet.
I need to get this!

I agree that the Wii U does have some awesome exclusives available (and on the way). But the point is that if you wanted to play the next Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed or NHL game, you have to buy another console. That's money a lot of people don't have.

AAAAAAAAAAAW YEEEEEEEEEEAH!
Right when we were all about to give up hope.

This year?
Wii U Smash bundles
Captain Toad
Pokemon Alpha Ruby/Omega Sapphire
Amiibo
New 3DS details/launch window
Mario Kart 8 DLC

I don't mind games like this every now and then. I may look into it if the price is right.

Preordred with Amazon back in June. They still haven't shipped it yet (perks of choosing the free super-saver shipping option)

I'll probably pick up TCG. It's been years since I played that. It was fun.

Still puzzled as to why we haven't seen anything from the main series of games though.

Didn't have her pegged as the gaming type.

I trust Nintendo. They're not some fly-by-night company. I do try to skim through user agreements nonetheless, since I think it's just good practice to have some idea as to what you're agreeing to.

I'd like to assume that anyone who got the 8GB model (such as myself, since it was on sale) probably purchased some sort of USB external storage device. Of course, there's always a handful who don't realize this. You don't want to exclude people.
Then again, by the time it comes to the Wii U, anyone who would have purchased that version may have already bought it on some other system.

The Wii U would be perfect for Pokemon Snap. Make it free-roam instead of on-rails, throw in the new Pokemon, have some nice graphics, add online and miiverse and there you go.
We need this and a sequel/successor to Colosseum/XD.

EDIT: Or we could have a Snap mini-game/mode in a Colosseum/XD successor.

I'll probably pick up a couple of Amiibos (Link, Samus, Zelda and Captain Falcon, most likely), but I can't say how much I'll use them.

This is great news. Totally buying that adapter on day one. But when it comes to being used as a Pro controller, what will it do about L1, L3 and R3?

Captain Falcon looks AWESOME.

They didn't want to get a T for Teen rating like the last two installments had? Okay....

Tempted......
I feel like we'll see GC games on VC in 2015 and that may be one of the uses for the adapter and controller in the future.

Anybody who doesn't have Pikmin 3, definitely consider it now. Top tier game on the Wii U if you ask me. It's short, but really good.

Not cancelling my preorder nonetheless.

Duck Hunt Dog? YES!!!

I know it's just a stupid scarf, and if you really want one you could probably find a replica on Etsy, but still... this is the second time NoA has pulled this crap this year.

Because THIS is what Wii U owners will buy on day one. Yes.

I feel like if this ever was on the table (or still is) that it's a 3DS game. I wouldn't be opposed to the idea since I'd like to see Metroid on both 3DS and Wii U. They did a great job with Punch Out and Luigi's Mansion, so they've proven themselves.

Good call on Miyamoto's part. You want a spin-off to feel different and unique yet a bit familiar, not the other way around.
Sometimes you just have to step in and say "no, this is how you should do it. Do it this way".

All of the above and more.
