Yeah, from what I've tried of Super Mario Run, it's good but nowhere near as good as Rayman Jungle Run and Fiesta Run. Not to mention that both Rayman runners combined are still cheaper than Super Mario Run.
More games using the UbiArt Framework can't be a bad thing. I'd prefer that they make something completely new, but I'm fine with something else in the Child of Light universe. But please stop trying to force everything in the dialogue to rhyme.
I haven't been really interested in Splatoon because multiplayer shooters just aren't my thing. But the single player mode is looking more and more like a great 3D platformer, and that's not good for my wallet.
@EllenJMiller This. Goes nicely with their plan to make cheaper games and remakes too. And they should also put Zero Mission on the Wii U VC (ideally it should be on the 3DS, but that's a different issue).
@Tops Same here. With recent (and excellent) platformers Shovel Knight and Gunvolt both being priced at $15, I was expecting this game to have the same price. There's still a very good chance I'm getting this though, as long as the initial reviews are not disastrous.
With games that look like spiritual successors to Castlevania (Timespinner) and Mega Man Zero (Gunvolt) getting a lot of hype, you'd think that Capcom would realize that there's a demand for these types of games. But, oh well.
@MojoBones Will there be a demo? I'm always hesitant about using touch controls, especially for fast-paced games. But I have to say this looks very interesting, and it might be the type of game that can win people over with a demo, with maybe 3 or so levels.
I'll go for Smash Bros., Shantae, Gunvolt (which needs to be on this list), and maybe the Ace Attorney Trilogy. This year hasn't been as good as 2013, but it's not bad at all.
This game is a no-brainer if you haven't played it on other platforms yet. It's one of the best Metroidvanias I've played, and one of the best games I've played in the past couple of years period.

Re: Mario Slam Basketball Rated By Australian Classification Board
Looks interesting, but I'm more curious as to whether this means we'll finally start to see Square's games on the Wii U VC (outside of Japan).
Re: Gorgeous Xenoblade Chronicles X Special Edition Confirmed for North America
I was hoping that the special/limited edition would included a disc of the original Wii game a la Bayonetta 2, but this is pretty nice as well.
Re: New Nintendo 3DS XL Back On Top In Japan As Wii U Leads Home Console Sales
A localization announcement for Rhythm Heaven: The Best+ would have made E3 much better for me.
Re: Natsume Suggests That Nintendo's Moving Away From SNES on Wii U Virtual Console
I would be seriously disappointed if they don't at least release the Square SNES RPGs, along with Super Mario RPG.
Re: Ubisoft Announcement Suggests More Child Of Light 'Universe' Games Are On the Way
More games using the UbiArt Framework can't be a bad thing. I'd prefer that they make something completely new, but I'm fine with something else in the Child of Light universe. But please stop trying to force everything in the dialogue to rhyme.
Re: Japan Weekly: Famitsu Outlines More Details on Splatoon's 'Hero' Mode and More
I haven't been really interested in Splatoon because multiplayer shooters just aren't my thing. But the single player mode is looking more and more like a great 3D platformer, and that's not good for my wallet.
Re: Rumour: A Planned 2.5D Metroid Title For 3DS Got Cancelled in 2012

Re: Nintendo Download: 5th February (North America)
Still waiting for more Wii titles.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X is so Sizeable That It Almost Needed More Than One Disc
I guess this means that dual-audio is unlikely.
Re: Nintendo Boasts New 3DS is its Best-Selling Remodelled Handheld System to Date
I'd attribute ithe New 3DS/New 3DS LL's success more to Monster Hunter 4G, but it's good to see that they're selling well either way.

Re: Atlus Showcases P3 and P4 Heroes in Persona Q
I'm torn on this. I love Persona 3 and 4, but hate first-person perspective games. Hopefully there'll be a demo.
Re: Capcom Releases Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies on iOS, at a Lower Price
To be fair, it's the sort of game that would actually work well on a phone/tablet. But yeah, still sucks that 3DS users have to pay more.
Re: Feature: Where Are The Super Nintendo 3D Classics?
Yes, please. Add Super Mario RPG and Earthbound to the list as well.
Re: Timespinner Looks Like an Awesome Pixel-Based 2D Metroidvania, and It's Coming to 3DS

Re: Review: Adventure Island (Wii U eShop / NES)
Played this quite a lot as a kid, yet never finished it. Might give it another shot if/when it comes to the 3DS, as I don't have a Wii U (yet)
