Well it's not the EXACT same as on the Wii. When you play Wii games on the Wii U, they look better than when playing it on a Wii. But maybe that's because of HDMI.
@Inkling No, they stepped away from Brazil, because Brazilians would have to pay very high prices for their system and games. The UK doesn't make people pay high prices for consoles and games, so it's safe.
@Kaze_Memaryu Because they prefer to make their games appeal to Americans rather than the Japanese, which is why they support the Xbox despite it not selling well in Japan.
@ikki5, She was talking about third party developers, not the audience. The Wii U is selling well in Japan compared to the PS4. 1.5 million in the first year vs 925,000. Yes the PS4 hasn't been out for a full year yet, but I don't think it's gonna sell 600,000+ units in 7 weeks.
@Grumblevolcano But the SNES, N64, and GBA also didn't have analog triggers and it wasn't a problem for those games.
@Emblem, or maybe only a few thousand people ask for it, and only the few thousand people who asked for it, bought it. Have you seen 1 million (or even half of that) different people ask for it?
@ricklongo Because they rush it so it comes out the same day or week as the movie. Games like Aladdin are may a while after the movie is out, thus the game is good, instead of being a rushed job.
@mindafanboy I only have the PC version which is just a stupid point and click adventure game. I've seen gameplay of the console versions, and they look more fun.
It'd be nice if Nintendo makes a console that will be competitive with the PlayStation 5 and the XBox Tree Sixty. They can't really survive with a first party only console.
@Mus1cLov3r Frozen is not a bad movie. You just had your expectations set WAY TOO HIGH, just like a bunch of other people. And, Home on the Range is the worst Disney movie.
@Aqueous People don't know when to let a console die. Last SNES game was in 1999. Last PS1 game was in 2004, last PS2 game was 2013, last GBA game was in 2008
I'm against having a Skylanders like game. You shouldn't need outside materials to play a game, characters should already be controlable out of the box.
It won't work. The people who play mobile games don't play for enjoyment. They play to kill time. Which leads to another reason why it won't work. Nintendo games are $39.99. No one is going to pay that much for a "time killer". So if Nintendo wants to sell games to the mobile market, the games would habe to ve.free, 99 cents or "free" to play, which means that the games would have to be VERY basic. 99
This is more painful than the N64 one, because they were just falling and not doing anything. They should at least figure how to jump instead of just falling in every gap.

@C-Olimar There's a Fire Emblem OVA, where they changed Marth's name to Mars.
Re: Wii Disc Software Heading to the Wii U eShop
@Wilford111 These aren't remakes, they're just digital versions of the same game.

Okay, SMG2 is on the eShop now.
Re: Wii Disc Software Heading to the Wii U eShop
@Nimious Oh, okay.
Re: Wii Disc Software Heading to the Wii U eShop
I don't see Super Mario Galaxy 2 either.
@justastone No, Wii games are 480p. They're the same game as on the Wii, not remakes.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D Launches Exclusively On New Nintendo 3DS This April
Do you think they'll release the original on the Wii U eShop, or do you think they'll force people to buy the remake?
Re: Rumour: Red New Nintendo 3DS XL and 13th February Marketing Poster Surfaces
@GamecubeComplex No, they just think that people are willing to spend $319.96 in one day.

Re: Nintendo Adds a Bunch of Virtual Console Titles to North American Web Store
I love when people say GBA games don't belong on the Wii U, because they're portable games, meanwhile they ask for SNES games on the 3DS.

I remember when SpongeBob use to be good.

Still waiting for the SNES version of Yoshi's Island.

Re: Nintendo Rolls Out Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Footage and Details
Captain Toad was also 3,700 yen in Japan, so the game will be $39.99 here.
Re: Crunchyroll Arrives on Wii U as a Free App in North America
Awesome, I use my computer monitor as a TV, so now I don't have to switch HDMI cables when switching from games to anime
I like in the US, and TVii doesn't seem do do anything. Am I using it wrong?
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th December (North America)
Well if they release GBA versions of SNES games they've already released, then maybe they'll release the SNES version of Yoshi's Island.

Re: Matters Of Import: Final Fantasy Explorers Fights For Capcom's Crown
@audiobrainiac Well those are PlayStation games, so I doubt that will happen. A Final Fantasy 6 remake is more likely on the 3DS.

Re: December's Club Nintendo Rewards Aim to Bring Festive Cheer
Never played a Metroid game. Is this game good, or do you guys think Super Metroid is better?
Re: Feature: 12 Days of Nintendo Christmas - Day Four
Or 5 golden shards, as in Triforce shards. But then again, there's usually 8, not 5.

Re: Rumour: Villager, Marth & Wii Fit Trainer amiibo Discontinued
I understand Wii Fit Trainer, but why Marth & Villiger? Animal Crossing is popular, and there's gonna be a new FE game, which may come out in 2016.
Re: Talking Point: The Legend of Zelda on Wii U Steals The Show and Raises Expectations
@Hero-of-WiiU No, I watch a lot of anime dubbed. I'm just not a fan of bad voices.
Re: Talking Point: The Legend of Zelda on Wii U Steals The Show and Raises Expectations
@DiscoGentleman Well the dubber for Aounuma was okay, but the one for Miyamoto, was really weird.
Re: Talking Point: The Legend of Zelda on Wii U Steals The Show and Raises Expectations
The only thing bad about the Zelda reveal is the bad dubbing. NOA, get GOOD voices, or just use subtitles.

@Captain_Toad Actually, Saturday Morning Cartoons don't exist anymore. September 27, 2014 was the last time cartoons aired on Saturday mornings on network TV.
