Why are people so ignorant? The developers and publishers are NOT the same. Apologize to Mr. Ancel right now for being mean and blaming him for something Ubisoft Montipellier did.
I think @cornishlee is trying to say is that Bobby expected Nintendo to have kids down flat but Nintendo wasn't targeting kids. Nintendo was going for the well-rounded approach rather than the family-friendly approach. Remember, "the console is tailor-made just for you" while the Wii is "fun for the entire family". I'm pretty sure Reggie said that.
Price drop, price drop, price drop! Why does Nintendo have to be the cheap ones? $300 is too much for the NEW Wii U but $300 for a USED Xbox 360 is just right??? Where the heck is that logic???
Is everyone forgetting that the Wii and Wii U are like two different computers? The Virtual Console data on the Wii Mode is stored in the Wii Mode "hard drive" while the ones on the native Wii U are store on it's "hard drive". Transferring the data would be like transferring from a computer to a laptop without USB Flash Drive, USB HDD, or SD Card.
@Phillip_J_Reed You've been lost me when you made countless comparisons to Cave Story. You even said it yourself; Cave Story came AFTER this. Comparing Cave Story to Ikachan makes sense; comparing Ikachan to Cave Story does not.
What do people not get about NEW GAMES? Everyone keeps saying "Oh it's just release dates of games announced at launch" or "it has to be software updates". Makes no sense!
@Windy It's up to developers on whether they include local wifi or internet wifi. You make it sound as if Nintendo only put local in the 3DS. On another note, the Dragon Quest series wasn't made by Nintendo.
Once it's ready, there might be an update to merge the shops. Besides, you can already search Nintendo 3DS eShop stuff on Nintendo Wii U eShop already. Might as well make it whole.
I don't really give a ... If all my stuff can fit on the Wii, it can fit on the Wii U Basic. They're not forcing you to buy digital retail or anything.
@Sun Actually, you could choose to copy all or Sound/Photo/DSiWare individually. You could even choose which DSiWare to transfer. I assume you got this mixed with 3DS to 3DS transfer, in which case you would be correct.
It doesn't have to be in your lap. :/ That's what the stand is for.
Edit: Also, Nyko would probably make a shell or perperal(?) so you could look at both, so it's all good.
Why don't you like Super Mario Sunshine and Super Paper Mario, @Reala ? I mean, I loved running around with the Turbo Nozzle and Super Paper Mario was so reminiscent of Super Mario Bros. I can't see any reason to not like it.
...Unless you are one of the 5% that doesn't like them because of F.L.U.D.D. and the removal of turn-based battles.
And please don't compare Nintendo to Apple. Web and music is what they're good at. Games is what Nintendo (hardware), Sony, and Microsoft (hardware) are best at.
Ai-yai-yai. When people see "Circle Pad Pro", all they see is the circle pad. How about you think about the ZL/ZR buttons, losers. Because if Nintendo built CCP in, it would still be bulky with the 2nd shoulder buttons.
I love you CCP, with your circle pad AND your Z-triggers.
Nintendo, user accounts on 3DS, backups of downloaded software on 3DS, way to recover if 3DS is stolen, sold, or broken. Make it happen. I'll be happy.
The way I see it, there is exactly ONE charger for every DSi=XL/3DS=XL out there. Then they have to go into overtime, usig the money from the systems to make more.

Easy. They don't want to adapt gamepad play into it.

Technically, you were promised by Zen Studios and the message was relayed by Nintendo. It's not Nintendo's fault people.
Re: WayForward Confirms Mighty Switch Force 2 For 3DS
Dude, just because they said sequel doesn't mean it's Mighty Switch Force 2. Has everybody forgotten Mighty Flip Champs and Mighty Milky Way already?
Re: Developer Says Watch_Dogs Will Offer The "Same Experience" On All Consoles
Same experience probably means that the most the Gamepad would be used for is Off-Screen Play. This is just a thought.

Re: Feature: Reinventing Nintendo's Legacy Franchises on Wii U
Earthbound can't be released unless they changed the soundtrack pieces that are copyrighted.
Stupid artist and their will of squeezing out all profit from their music.
Re: Microwave 'Artist' Returns to Melt a Wii U
...Does he ever microwave a PS3 or XBOX, because I've only seen him treat Nintendo systems like that.
Re: Sumo Digital: Mario Kart Could Learn From Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
It's Mario Kart. Not Nintendo Kart. So having other Nintendo IP's appear in it makes no sense.

Yoshi's Island is Super Mario World 2, so says Iwata. All other Yoshi Island games aren't Super Mario World successors, though.
Re: Japanese eBook Service Delayed For Nintendo 3DS
They should have a eBook reader on the 3DS period. Just put my books on the SD Card and read. :/

Re: Nintendo: Phones And Tablets Aren't Games Devices

Me too.
Re: Nintendo: Phones And Tablets Aren't Games Devices
@DonJumpMad Yes. In fact...
I just might divide by zero and accidently the universe.
Re: Nintendo: Phones And Tablets Aren't Games Devices
And either way, you still brought the games.
Re: Nintendo: Phones And Tablets Aren't Games Devices
Why don't you like Super Mario Sunshine and Super Paper Mario, @Reala ? I mean, I loved running around with the Turbo Nozzle and Super Paper Mario was so reminiscent of Super Mario Bros. I can't see any reason to not like it.

Re: Ever Wonder Why Pokémon Black And White 2 Isn't On The 3DS?

Or maybe it's so people who played Black/White 1 can play the sequel without having to get a 3DS.
Re: Nintendo: Wii U Basic Bundle Designed To Attract Core Gamers
I'm glad the Basic Set comes with a sensor bar in the US region.
I was reading the comments. Are most of you from Europe, Australia, China, and Japan?
Re: Talking Point: Are Wii U Games Going To Be Too Expensive?
Nintendo = Mario
Nintendo = Zelda
Nintendo = Pokemon
Nintendo = Kirby
Sony ≠These
Microsoft ≠These
$60 is not too much. From standard to HD, this was expected. But as long as they throw out their best IPs with great gameplay and stuff, I'd buy it.
Re: Talking Point: Challenges for the Future of Nintendo Gaming
Ugh. Some people won't be happy until Nintendo successfully divide by zero.
Nintendo, keep doing what you're doing. Everything will be A-OK.
