@AugustusOxy After reading about it in gaming magazines, I had to have it. And I loved it. So much that I still have Shadow Man stickers on my N64 console and controller.

I was never able to finish it back then (it was so confusing at 13), but I 100 %ed the remaster on PC and enjoyed every second of it.

@impurekind It actually looks a lot better than the HD port, as the art style is still intact. Of course Ghirahim looks a bit off, since he's a completely new character with custom moves for BotW - which by itself is still an incredible accomplishment.

@Heavyarms55 Have you tried the Stadia free trial month? If not, please give it a try before ranting on about cloud gaming. Combined with Chromecast it is absolutely indistiguishable from playing on a home console. I played Cyberpunk and, more importantly, Celeste, which both ran perfectly all the time. I didn't miss a single jump because of lag in Celeste.

Don't argue with laws of physics, please, as you're just spreading baseless false information. There are enough other reasons for consoles, of course. And I tested Control on Switch and it really is an ugly, laggy mess. Those who charge u should at least provide decent infrastructure.

Creative textures like these would have really made the re-release something special. Missed opportunity

@Retron I think it's a mistake. I've been looking for it forever. And a wiki page says the Great Purple Emperor is only available 'til February. The Emperor butterfly, on the other hand, will leave Southern Hemisphere, too, and is missing from this list. I think they mistook it.

@Wallkick03 Epona has been a weapon for Link for a long time.

@rjejr Well, it just depends on ease of use. Android and iOS just have to place the "create an app" button prominently and that's it. Websites can even have background services and notifications now, which was the big plus of apps. Websites and apps will more or less merge, if the apps don't offer any functionalities.

@rjejr You can make an icon out of every link in Android.

@Jazzer94 Totally right. And sadly FAST still means they miss the holiday sales. This is beyond me. A lackluster port that was delayed before its announcement.

Hmmm. Not sure I like this. Now the hero from ALBW looks completely different and dresses up like an idiot? Hm. And it happens that you often control Blue or Red... so only one in every game is the actual hero we know? Weird.

@Shiryu How's Lisbon in October? I've been there several times in summer and love the city (and country). I'm trying to decide whether I should travel to Paris or Portugal next year for the concert. Because Vienna is obviously not interested in this Symphony stuff it seems.

What a nice lady. Instead of calling the cops, she shows him some cards and gives nice information while explaining that no one is allowed in this building ever. "Haha, you came in through the backdoor, haha".

So the three islands are one new map, and the Earth and Wind temple are also merged into one map? Or are all 5 things on one map? That would be huge.

Long & tricky! Really liked it!

@Malanta Done Thanks again, it was a great challenge and helped me shape my Mario skills

@Malanta Woah, thanks a lot! Made it until room 7 so far. Perfect difficulty! I have to continue tomorrow, I need some sleep now.

@lookathis Impressive level! Feels like a final level of a real Mario game

I'm not sure what's supposed to happen at the end? Am I supposed to get pushed through the wall by Bowser? I died when I tried... http://www.raald.com/img_up/wiiu_018DD_TV_dc43753dcc4d7fa.jpg

edit: Played it like 30 times now and finished it 5 times. Every fight is unique. I love this level!

@Malanta Another great one! Maybe a bit easy, but at least it's fun

Two notes: Somehow I lost Yoshi after a few seconds for no obvious reason?! And I didn't know you could carry shells through pipes. Almost killed Bowser with it

I feel bad for taking a shortcut(?) by leaving Yoshi behind

I NUK'd two of my three levels, because I was not sure if Stripper Bowser was allowed in the stream. I hope you'll try my Zelda level.

@Malanta You created some great levels! I wish there were more like yours in the 100-Mario-rotation, it would be way more fun. Maybe in time the quality of the levels gets better

I can't understand why Nintendo included this totally random Japanese teenage game in their Digital Event and left Fast Racing Neo out completely. There's a really dedicated 3rd party developer making an amazing looking game on Wii U... and they use his time for Japanese stuff nobody even understands :-/

@HappyMaskedGuy Thanks for the exact quote. I remember them clearly stating multiple times how awesome the game looks and runs on Wii U. And now they act as if there never was a Wii U version to begin with? Well, that might just be the truth. Either way - don't lie to your customers like that.

Yeah, I was also under the impression that SketchPad told you that lessons will arrive later. That's why I bought SketchPad. That's why the option on the start screen is there. They are not getting 26 Euros from me like this :-/

I never understood the face of the mirror shield, and after this explanation I still don't.

@WaveWarlock Sorry, but to me, all your "improvements" sound terrible. I like the show the way it is - watchable for both children and adults. And I find both hosts quite likeable (him more). They sound like normal geeks/fans and not like paid hosts reading scripts. Flashy Nintendo music and green screens would turn this into a cheap Japanese commercial.

Erm.. If they charge for this they are insane. Use it as a nice advertisment instead of selling a theme for a game we don't even know, please.

This is the streaming-title, right? I wonder if the wifi module of the 3DS will be good enough for this. If so, this opens a whole lot of possibilities.

I had to go with Metroid, even though I also have my fingers crossed for Galaxy.

I hope it's an older game though. Something from the N64 era with a completely new feeling thanks to the visuals. Majora's Mask would be my favorite by far.

Viewing the highlights is never a mistake!
Well, maybe after 300 races. But it's still an impressive feature.

On screen map and customization memory are AWESOME

@SMEXIZELDAMAN Tingle will be the final boss. This whole thing is his revenge!

My love for the Ocarina songs will prevent me from playing any other character.

I will enjoy Sonic more now I think.

So far it looks like they've just commented out some code lines, e.g. for gravity or textures. The ruins track just looks blank, not snowy. But it will be interesting to see what they can come up with!

@Jazzer94 Not if they find new "bugs". E.g. reaching Ganon without the need of a bottle.

The commercial looks nice. I can see some parents falling for it. The "whole family" strategy of the Wii was important, though, so I don't think a "kids only" console can sell well.

And I'm wondering how many patents they will be sued over.

@Laxeybobby I was thinking the same. Why didn't they use the Fusion Kart for the Gamepad?

Oh oh, I have lots of stuff to do today, but it looks like I will spend it on Youtube now. Great work man!

They are not making a secret out of the influence Minish Cap has. They drew everything from scratch though, as they have shown in an update on Kickstarter. I can live pretty well with a spiritual Minish Cap successor.

Think bigger: Nintendo Home.
Your voice-controlled and talking personal Nintendo buddy inside your walls.

It reminds you of stuff and motivates you with real-life achievements. If you're willing to let them scan you with 3d sensors the whole time. I would.

It's great how one guy can make money off the eShop so easily. I wonder why there are not more people developing stuff for Wii U in HTML5. There's still lots of simple games missing from eShop.

@kurtasbestos Sorry, German auto-correct Fixed it.

@ModestFan93 If the Rayman debacle told us anything, it's: Don't mix up publishers and developers. Latter deserve no blame.

Is he really threatening them to still not release this one finished game they have, when there are more Wii U's out there than XbOnes?

The Amazon price in Germany seems about right: 280 bucks for a Wii U with Mario Kart. I'd buy it!

This is the best sub-headline ever!

What kind of friends do you have on your list that you can't handle one of their yeah'ed posts? I actually think this is a great idea as I'm usually interested in whatever my friends are interested in (e.g. beautiful artwork).

@Manaphy2007
I still think that there will be a 3DS(U) announced at E3 that will work as a Wii U controller. On the go it plays all VC games and 3DS titles (and uses the new Wii U home screen as 3DS OS), at home it plays VC titles, Wii U games and (3)DS games on the controller & TV.

All it needs to make this work is a (detachable) 2nd screen for the controller.

Many 3DS users will feel the urge to upgrade (to enjoy GBA and DS titles on the 3DS) and the Wii U and 3DS install base grows. I really think this could "save" Wii U.

This looks promising!

But... They are taking forever to get this out and don't even implement a 2nd screen in multiplayer on the Gamepad? What the?! I mean, what is the point in releasing it on May 30th (2 months from now) if there is an important feature missing and they can't take care of it? They have been showing off a finished product for quite some time now.

I really don't get how Nintendo decided to miss all the easter sales. IMHO that might have been their last chance to turn sales around. Now MK8 will be released right before summer where nobody cares. I just don't get it.

@turnmebackwards
Maybe I got lucky and have a different version that doesn't do it. Which is funny, because I have a day 1 console. I've been playing Deus Ex, DKC and AC4 for something like 8 hours without pause and never had problems.
