It would have to be playable with a normal controller layout, otherwise I'd assume handheld mode wouldn't work?

Maybe they're just reminding people of their Nintendo work before announcing something new?

Hoping retro is working on a new IP and not another "donkey kong". On a separate note I would love a direct sequel to "excite truck", that and "excite bots" both expanded the brand in an interesting direction after "excite bike".

Looks like every other 3D sonic game with a bit of a flashier background and the same dull enemies.

I ordered a pile of stuff from shopto which all arrived on time, they weren't very forthcoming with how or when everything would be sent, it all seemed very last minute.

Got Zelda and Bomberman physical copies arriving with my switch, will be buying fast rmx and possibly snipperclips or king of fighters. Anyone know if the neogeo games support sharing joycons?

Skyward Sword
A link to the past

Played OOT so many times at this point, though its good I couldn't get excited about playing it again without something being added too it. Also alttp was my first Zelda and it formed my videogame preferences for the rest of my life.

Looks great, the controls seem really precise. I'll be checking this out day one.

@Lylard where did you have to pay up front to reserve one? Sorry to hear you missed the first round, hope its not long before new stock arrives.

Day one buy for me, love it!

Hoping I'll still be able to log into web verification WiFi hotspots without a browser, otherwise my dream of using this at work (a university) or on fieldwork (usuallys staying in a premier inn) will be flushed down the toilet. Other than that, a web browser in general would be nice and Netflix too but not something that would stop my from buying one

Its both to me. I only really play my handheld at work or in hotels on fieldwork. I have once or twice taken my Wii U to hotels to play when there's no pub to go to. But when I'm home the handheld gets ignored as I prefer a big screen experience. This caters to both of my gaming habits quite nicely and exactly what I would want in a console.

Shop-to sent emails out today to people saying the red and blue versions went out of stock on the 14th at 1:40pm but all grey consoles were being honored for launch day so far

Borderlands 3 would be a big boon for the system, though I'm not really prepared to buy Randy at face value on his statement, making it seem like its not his fault. I'm sure both companies are to blame in this instance.

Pre-ordered mine from shop-to on the 3rd of Jan. Hoping others waited until the reveal, as shop-to said that my preorder date would stand, but they didnt have their allocation numbers yet and it is on a first come first served basis. I have had every Nintendo console at launch from the NES onward, but always previously collected from a store. Hopefully shop-to is up to the task.

I really hope that Nintendo take some time to create a really solid line-up of first and third party launch games before they blow their load. Taking their time over the operating system and making sure everything runs as smoothly as possible on day one. This would mean (to me) waiting until late 2017, with ports of later Wii U games readily available and launching in line with some of the bigger third party franchises launch window (e.g.: FIFA and CoD) in autumn. I'm not a huge fan of either of those mentioned franchises but having the most powerful platform to play those games on (if indeed the NX is the most powerful console), with bundles for both, certainly helped the PS4 and could help the NX launch. But having ports of those games running well without bits missing (like the Wii U did) means they need the decent development cycle. With Dev kits going out late last year, a 10 - 12 month turnaround would be hard without cutting corners and the NX would be off to a rocky start with bad press everywhere, just like the Wii U was.

I would be interested to see if they include the wii remotes "waggle mechanics" and how that would be implemented as link is back to being left handed? Which means it's probably a GC port, uses a normal controller (not remote) and the map will be the wrong way around for all of those who played it on Wii. Can't wait

Splatton just looks better and better. Love the music, it really reminds me of Jet Set Radio era SEGA. We need more of this Nintendo than Wii Music Nintendo and fast

@Nightwalker I never wanted the OoT remake either perhaps because I bought the thing on three other consoles before the 3DS and just don't need to play it again

FAST RACING NEO for the love of god Shin'en!

Can you kill Tom Nook in this game, if so it will sell more copies than any Nintendo game ever........combined.

Looks like something I can enjoy with my kids, they love mario 3D world but its a bit beyond them at the minute too so we only get to play the first world levels over and over.

Metroid Prime HD trilogy would kick derriere! I am wondering when we are going to here some more from Retro. They noted they had begun development on something else a while before DK was finished, were coming up to a year with the whole development team having been moved onto this project and not a single peep from them, we know it's not StarFox as the discussion about letting another development studio take some of the reigns on that came up from Miyamoto before and after E3. I am litterally dying to know what on earth they could be making, if its another DK game though I might lose it

I say it so often I have to be right at some point, FAST RACING NEO and N64 VC ppppppppppleeeeeeaaaaase Eddie!

I love that last answer

SO he didn't get crowd funded and decided that the best thing to do was go bigger!? This guy is nuts, but as long as I get the game and it comes to Wii U then I couldn't care less what else he is doing with his time

I never played pokemon on handheld I was a bit too old (about 15-16) at the time and have never felt the urge to try one. Then again if one were to release on home console (a proper one, not Colosseum) I might give that a go. Saying that though he is right, I loved Super Mario Bros as a kid and although I'm not suckered into buying everything Mario I look forward to every single one of the main games. It makes me feel younger

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! One of my favorite things about big steam releases is that you can do this. I was sat online waiting for dark souls 2 to release properly and it took all of a minute before I was in the game after release

The music on this video is incredible!

Cannot wait until Friday! Especially as I have so much work to do, this is going to help me fail my degree

From the first teaser to this one (not a lot of time) it has come along in leaps and bounds as far as presentation goes. Still a way to go for me to be truly interested, but they have ambition and it might pay off

@Tsurii897
You mean back? Zelda series are usually set long after technology has faded.

Best way to spend some of my student loan in January

Would have loved another Factor 5 star wars game, wish they would be able to bring it to Wii U, got to be better than anything EA makes with the licence.

Wonder if anyone left out that she has to be in the top 12 in the country by this time next year to join in? Great video though

Loving some of the Indy games I have on the Wii U, I would much rather sit at the TV rather than the PC and play these games. Going to play expo this weekend, hopefully there will be a decent Nintendo showing again this year.

At last Nintendolife, we got em! Now prep the sandship and onward to bigger prey.

Obviously I would love another home console version over handheld (it's just my preference of play). Let's hope Nintendo was paying attention to the amount of coverage this printing error received.

Looks good so far, I will wait to see a but more before I get my hopes up though.

@Grumblevolcano I still have the issue but have downloaded the update from the system settings menu. Just the network seems to still be down.

Loving Hyrule warriors here in the UK, been kicking back with it all week and being a warriors fan and a zelda nut it's probably one of my favorite games on the system. So easy to lose a few hours to it
Looking forward to all the US readers getting their hands on it

Smash warriors yes, mario no. Don't want another purely mushroom Kingdom spinoff for quite some time. Captain Toad and the mario kart dlc will do me for another year or so before I want to see any more.

Yay to both, but still want rondo to make the collection complete. Hell I would buy the N64 games (which I quite like) I just love castlevania a bit too much.

There are about of people throwing some hate at the new 3DS. I personally don't think it's something that is meant to be a quick cash maker, but instead think it's meant to increase the life of the current hardware model. I am a believer in Nintendo fusing both of their hardware divisions into one release for the next gen but the public would be expecting a new handheld announcement next year. With the new 3DS this expectation could be put back a while until they're ready to talk about the successor to wii u and 3DS and in theory Nintendo could test the remote play for certain games to be released soon for Wii u. It's a shrewd move and I'm buying into it.

Not big on nu metal, it was always too cheesey for me in the first place that I don't think I could play a game with it playing constantly. If I could play my own tracks then it would be a different deal! I played through reign in blood through vib ribbons ability to play any disk back on the psone.

Every year, me and my friends get together from all over the country to play some old video games, reminisce and go out for a drink. Without a doubt every time this occurs, Mario Kart 64 will see some decent play time. Not as much as Goldeneye, but for me and my friends its at that level of multiplayer simplicity that makes it still fun to play 17 years on.

Oh and I seem to be the only person on the planet who didn't really like DKR, which had too much going on for new people or non gamers to appreciate what was happening, though technically a better game it lost something compared Mario Kart in my opinion. I loved to play games with anyone who would give it a try and got some of my friends into gaming, but at the time if they didn't "get it" immediately, then it was never seen again during multiplayer sessions. Mickeys Speedway is better than DKR

Hyrule Warriors for me.

@ThomasBW84

I have recieved an email from Amazon yesterday regarding my preorder of Bayonetta 2. Amazon UK originally advertised the normal edition as coming with a physical copy of the remastered Bayonetta 1 game too (which we know now is not the case), but have upgraded my order to be the special edition for the same price. I am now getting the special edition Bayonetta 2 for £31.97

I was starting to worry this was never going to see the light of day, I'm so happy about this picture, I want to marry it.

OOOOOOOOoooo It just keeps looking better and better, wish it hadn't taken the best part of 2 years to get my hands on it but not much longer now. Going to be getting the Bayonetta 1 and 2 box, dont have my XBOX to play the original on anymore anyway.

Been looking forward to this for a while now and though I have it on 3DS, I am going all out and support this port by buying it again for Wii U. Games which show so much charm and instant appeal such as this are few and far between. I hope these guys have a long career in game development.
