Actraiser Renaissance. I’m enjoying the city-building sections a lot so far.

Two favorites: Super Mario Kart - Rainbow Road and Super Metroid - Prologue theme. The dissonance in those two is remarkable and sounds great.

Also, I agree that the limitations placed on composers of the 8- and 16-bit generations brought out some fantastic creativity. The song Filmore Act 1 from Actraiser is one of my favorite examples of that.

I flipping LOVE Connect 4! And since I also already own Nintendo Monopoly, I'm definitely more excited about Connect 4.

Two words: Bongo Bongo.

For me, it would have been nice to play online with people who are actually good at the game. I play the game solo most of the time because, even though I live with three siblings, I can't seem to put together a group of three other people who are both willing to play and at least half-way decent at the game. Still, SM3DW works phenomenally well as a single-player game too. I'm pretty much satisfied with it.

@Phantom_R Amen to that! I've hosted several Nintendo Land parties, and I know for a fact one of those was the reason some friends of mine bought a Wii U. The system's concept is amazingly fun, but hard to describe. You've got to experience it yourself, and that's what I've been trying to help people do.

First of all, I must say I find these a lot more engaging and appealing than what we've got here in the US (the "pitch" commercials). Second of all, why is the UK focusing on awesome gameplay while the US is focusing on the Wii U itself? Is the system a lot better understood and popular there?

@Morpheel Same here! Not to mention I'm still obsessed with Pokemon Y at the moment.

Paying an extra 4 bucks to get one-day shipping on this. Aaaaah, the wait!

I feel it's somewhat likely GameStop will get something like this in the US. Remember the Tanooki Mario keychain that came with SM3DL pre-orders?

Metroid isn't getting a lot of love in that poll...which is really sad! I'm going to pretend it's because everyone has already downloaded it...

On a side note, for a moment I thought this article was referring to physical rewards, and I was really excited! Dang.

I just want one thing: for the Donkey Kong Country series to come to the Wii U virtual console. Lost mine after the Wii to Wii U system transfer, because you can't get them on the Wii Shop channel anymore!

I shared this with my Pokemon-loving brother on Facebook saying, "What did YOU dream of, Dave?"

I'm a hardcore Nintendo fan, and I've seen just about every ad/video/Nintendo Direct there is to see for Wii U. Nothing has been particularly memorable. Nintendo has to create some hype for the system! I'll always support the company, but even folks like me want to get pumped up for something once in a while!

Hmm, was a little worried, but now...I mean, 5 bucks a year is next to nothing. Let's hope the rumors are true.

Brought tears to my eyes. Indeed, "the games are coming." Thanks UK. Thanks for nothing NoA.

Code of Princess is looking very tempting.

I've been closely watching this game ever since the first trailer was released, back when it was called Project P-100. I was rather disenchanted by the demo, but there's still a strong chance I'll get the game, especially after this review.

Ha! Hope everyone got the Avengers reference...if not, someone needs to watch that movie, apparently.

I knew nothing about Galaga before I played it in the GBA compilation Namco Museum. It was my favorite port in the collection and arguably one of the biggest reasons why I ultimately became the gamer I am today.

Oh my gosh! That discount for Trine 2: Director's Cut is fantastic! Anyone who doesn't already have it needs to get it now! Great game! Wish I could've gotten it at such a great discount, though...

My top 3 picks: Bulbasaur, Haunter, and Dratini.

When I heard the European direct had a sizzle reel of indie download games, I was more than a little jealous, so yeah, I think Nintendo of America made a slight mistake there. I love being able to download eShop games at prices that retail games just can't touch. So bring on the indie games already, NOA!

@Joshers744 Too true. But it's good that most of us still try to maintain the joy of discovering hidden secrets by avoiding certain places on the internet.

@Blue_Yoshi You're not the only one. I could probably list five games right now that I own but haven't gotten around to playing. Hmmm, make that ten.

I think it said something about games that are releasing this year, so I don't think we'll get much on Smash Bros. But I've been following The Wonderful 101 very closely and would love content on it. Also, it would be cool to get details for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Pokemon X and Y.

So THAT'S what that update was for. It took about 5 seconds to complete on my 3DS XL, and I wondered whether it was anything worthwhile at all. That's cool, but I'm an hour away from the closest Nintendo Zone. Guess I'll take advantage of it when I can.

@Sanqet Great example to bring up here. Art is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. Personally, I think video games are rich with art.

Just checked out Nintendo Life's review for Kirby, and now there's no stopping me. Thanks for helping a gamer out!

Hmmm...Fire Emblem: Awakening. And Twilight Princess. And Golden Sun. And Animal Crossing: City Folk. I'm done! No wait...Pokemon White. Okay, now I'm done...hopefully. Maybe Kid Icarus: Uprising too, though. Ugn! A combination of some or all of those.

I hate to say the same thing everyone else is saying, but...I typically dislike LEGO games, but this actually looks good!

Probably the Nintendo handheld that I'm most nostalgic about. I got a cobalt blue SP for sixth-grade graduation, which was, shall we say, a few years ago.

That explains a lot. If only I'd known before I went on my failed early-morning shopping trip today. Downloading it right now. I'm just too impatient!

I'm thrilled! I've logged more than 200 hours in Rune Factory Frontier for Wii.
