I still certainly plan on buying this game. While I can't say I care for the delay, it won't keep me from some Rayman platforming goodness. As a side note, I don't believe boycotting the game or getting really upset will help much. If you really want to play Legends, I say go ahead and get it when it's released. Don't let something that some Ubisoft executives did ruin your fun. @Bankai - Seeing as you are a mature and reasonable adult, I would appreciate it if you would stop the name calling. Thank you for understanding.
I'll probably pick up Mega Man 2 at some point. I've never played Mega Man before, but I've meaning to try it out for a while and 2 sounds like one of the best.
@AceSpadeS - I don't have much of a problem with it being a multi-pat game, what annoys me is the seven month delay. The Wii U version could still be released on time, and the other versions put out in September. That way it would still have a period of Wii U exclusivity, and the other systems would still get it.
NOOOOOOOOO! While I don't mind the whole multiplatform thing as much, the massive delay is what really hurts. I was so looking forward to getting Legends later this month. Why Ubi...?
Is it supposed to be the 3DS LL on the hardware list? I'm not sure if they call the XL something different in Japan. Anyways, the 3DS is still shining as usual.
@HawkeyeWii - They are in the U.S. My parents took my siblings to Chuck E. Cheese when I was at a party. When we met back up, they told me they had played a Mario Kart game there. I was understandably surprised to hear about a MK arcade machine.
The SP was the first video game system that I got as a present and not as a hand-me-down. I used the heck out of that thing, and it still works great to this day.
@Five-seveN - You can get good quality games on mobile devices even if they aren't your cup of tea. Please don't get this argument started. It has been done to death already. Anyways, I wonder what type of new doors this will open for Nintendo. :-?
I was a late adopter of the Wind Waker, but I was amazed by how much I loved it. I would excellent to see some extras and new mechanic added to make the game even better.
@Syntax - Nice save there. I can't wait to get myself a copy of this. I'm also really happy that it was at the top of the list for so long. GO ZELDA!!1!
So many good things coming! My top three favorite announcements might be (No particular order): 1. Zelda U/Wind Waker HD 2. VC/Super Metroid for 30 cents. 3. X
@Erica_Hartmann - I think you're looking for "Dimentio." I do think Fawful and Dimentio would have been good for the list. Ah well, I guess that's just the way the meatball bounces.
Well I'm glad to see a new villain like Hades on the list (even though he's only 50). Anyways, Bowser is an iconic video villain, and I think being #1 is fitting for him. Not sure why the Eggman is so low on this list though. He usually does better on these types of things.
I only had a few Virtual Console titles on my Wii, so I really don't have anything to worry about with the upgrades. I am excited to get my hands on Super Metroid when it comes out in May.
Weehahoo! Yoshi yoshi! (Excellent! I can't wait to check out this game!) Hmmm... Yoshi? (I wonder if that means that "rumored" list of games was true?)
@3Dash - I believe that he's going to have some vegetables this time. That would make the Nintendo Direct truly different. I'm interested to see what's in store.
Well that certainly was interesting. It was well done for a fan movie. I'm not sure why they gave Knuckles fingers though, but that's not really a complaint. I hope this gives someone the idea to make a good, official, Sonic movie.
@bluecat - Don't worry. You'll have nine months to complete the games you're working on before X and Y are released. @luisterr - I understand the crying, but don't die! If you die, you won't be able to play X and Y.
@0LD_SK0OL_PUNK - If you use the Wii U for backwards compatibility, that means you could give the Wii versions of the Metroid Prime games a try if you wanted to.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Nine
Fire Emblem: Awakening will probably take up most of my time, though I may do some NSMBU if I want to have some multiplayer fun with my bros.

Re: Ubisoft Studio Boss: People "Need to Experience" Wii U to Understand It

Re: Pikmin 3 Will Allow For GamePad-Only Play
This is a really interesting bit of information. Playing it alone on the GamePad could be quite helpful at times in my house.

Re: Plenty Of Room For Rupees In These Awesome Nintendo Wallets
That Zelda wallet looks mighty fine. I may just have to look into getting it.
Re: Disney Confirms That Junction Point Has Been Closed
That's a shame. The series had so much potential, but a stumble with the second game appears to have sunk Junction Point. R.I.P.

Re: Charizard 3DS XL Will Be Available To Pokémon Daisuki Club Members
I've been thinking of upgrading to an XL, and the Charizard XL would seal the deal. Please bring it to the West.

I was very happy with this Nintendo Direct. It put a lot of exciting games and announcments on my radar. Wind Waker HD looks amazing!

Re: Talking Point: The Wii U Virtual Console Trial Campaign's Advertising Role
I have been wanting to get Super Metroid for a long time now. I'm glad I've held off because $0.30 is a real steal.
Re: Wii U Virtual Console Trial Campaign Schedule Released
Super Metroid and Punch Out! here I come!

All I want is the Fire Emblem demo this week.

Re: Pokémon X & Y Catch More Official Artwork and Details
@Boo_Buster - I also thought that Froakie looks like it could be Water/Ice type. Can't wait to find out!
Re: Ubisoft: Wii U Power Meant No Limitations For Rayman Legends
I can't wait to try this one out. I loved the original and I expect to love this one even more.

I thought this was relevant as well.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - New Year Edition
@Kyloctopus - Agreed. It is funny to see a users name in an article. O_e
Re: Nintendo Announces 890,000 Wii U Sales in U.S. Launch
@The_Fox - You know, if Reggie had listened to Luigi, the Wii U would have already outsold the Wii by now.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - New Year Edition
I'll likely be playing KI:U, NSMBU, SaASRT, and hopefully some Scribblenauts Unlimited (Wii U) in as well. It's going to be a good weekend.
Re: New Sonic Fan Film Receives Mixed Reception, But At Least Yuji Naka Likes It

Re: Fire Emblem: Awakening Demo On Its Way to North America
@3Dash - Whoops! I guess I didn't notice that comma. It just goes to show that commas and punctuation are very important.

Re: Fire Emblem: Awakening Demo On Its Way to North America
@3Dash - The demo is FREE.
Re: Fire Emblem: Awakening Demo On Its Way to North America
I can't wait to give this game a try! The demo should tide me over until it is released.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th January 2013 (North America)
Looks like 100% of people aren't getting anything this week! (Until some other people vote).
Re: The Gold Nunchuk Shines Again on Club Nintendo
I received one of those for Christmas. It goes excellently with my gold Hylian remote I got with Skyward Sword.
Re: Pokémon X and Pokémon Y Caught In Worldwide Release This October
@bluecat - Don't worry. You'll have nine months to complete the games you're working on before X and Y are released.

Re: The Big Wii U Survey

Re: The Big Wii U Survey
I have completed the survey. On second thought, I should have done the survey from my Wii U.
