@iMii If you say you play only Nintendo's first-party titles, then yes, you are a gamer, because you're playing their games.

I'm with Nintendo. I'm a firm believer that the Wii U does not need a price cut; all it needs is the software. And the ball has been pushed, because Pikmin 3 was just released, and this is where the steady stream of great games will start. Nintendo themselves said it, and there's not reason to doubt them.

I sure don't.

This is why I love Nintendo, they always stick to what they believe in! And I usually agree with 'em, and this is definitely a topic I've ALWAYS agreed with it. :B

It doesn't look TOO bad. I think I'd buy it.

Even if I had a Wii U, I'd just with Colors! 3D, most likely than not.

Before the Wii U launched, I had originally misunderstood that the GamePad WAS portable; I had thought that it doubled as a home console and as a semi-portable device. I imagined buying one, and taking the GamePad with me to game anywhere.

But of course, the GamePad is quite large compared to the 3DS and handhelds of the past. And all it would take to make it possible does, of course, provide a technical challenge.

But hey, I think it would be an awesome product. I think there are people out there who would agree with me that having a truly portable home console in the shape of a GamePad would be awesome.

@LunaticPandora They themselves have said it: the games are coming. Starting with Pikmin 3.

So yeah, the games ARE there. They just haven't arrived yet. Wait and see as they prove you wrong. No company invests millions and millions of dollars on a device just so people won't buy it. Business doesn't work that way.

And we're talking about the company that almost single-handedly revived gaming decades ago. Remember that.

Good thing I've never been a big Capcom fan. 'Cause if I were, this is what I'd tell 'em right about now:

"Screw you, Crapcom."

Bleh. All I needed to read was, "...From the makers of 'Big Bass Arcade'" to put me off. But hey, I guess it's bowling. I'll take bowling over fishing any day.

@Bass_X0 There's nothing wrong with a character used to try out other genres of gaming. However, you mention Mario & Sonic as examples, but they're more iconic gaming characters now, and all the spinoff games they've been a part of over the decades have actually been decent. With a few exceptione, of course.

Pac-Man, on the other hand, hasn't had that success simply due to the poor games he's been forced to be a part of. The old Pac-Man World games are probably the only good titles he's starred in that aren't the classif & Championship Edition.

Pac-Man games. What'd the poor legendary character do to deserve to be a part of all of these horrifying games?

I'll stick with classic Pac-Man, forever and always. Even if theclassic hands me my own donkey. :B

Haha! Some of you guys are right! It's good he at least knows the name of one of the characters of his game! XD

I had the misfortune to watch the first movie in theaters. Never watching it again, and won't even give this one a chance. This game looks as generic as the new "Hollywood" stink that these new movies unfortunately reek of.

It's too bad. I love the original cartoon. I find it a crime that a video game adaptation of this movie exists. And I'm usually not one for overly-cruel comments, but I feel this one deserves it.

Huh. Poor Wii U gets the short end of the stick with every game, eh?

I guess I understand the decision, not that I like it. I myself don't own a Wii U, so all I can do is feel for those who feel like they're being robbed. I'd be upset too.

Yes, the console is indeed indeed in a tough spot, but if they were able to completely turn the 3DS's circumstances around, who's to say that they can't do the same with the Wii U? It's not the first time a home console has been in this position, and as history shows, in the end yhe consoles managed to end up selling tens of millions of units (looking at the 360 & PS3).

So iif you think Nintendo will rule out the Wii U after it's disastrous state, you haven't seen ehat they can do. The 3DS is all the proof you need for this. :B @PokeTune

@tchaten Believ it or not, there was actually an excellent article about this same topic over at IGN, with the author stating similarly solid information and key valid points, all ending in the rather positive conclusion that Nintendo itself is not in trouble, only the Wii U is.

This article itself was top-notch though, as is always the case with NintendoLife content. Great job guys.

The thing we can all agree on is that no matter WHAT Nintendo goes through, or what they do with their consoles & software, there will ALWAYS be someone out there throwing doubt & gloom-&-doom stories and criticisms their way. Those people just can't help it, it seems.

No matter, us loyal Nintendo fans feel & know for a fact that it would take much more than all of this negativity to take Nintendo down. Though unfortunately, all of these stories do get tiring and annoying to listen to.

Have all of my support. Hahahaha! XD

I've never (and I do mean never) have followed Atlus closely, but there's a reason they have the following that they do, and I think that Nintendo would be the perfect company to incorporate them into themselves. Like Hunter-D above me states, it would only help their name spread, and I'm confident Nintendo would be the perfect company to spread said name.

This would be awesome.

Excellently put together. I love gaming of all types, and I have retro consoles as well as modern consolss, and I enjoy and love them all. I consider myself an all-around gamer, and it's great to see there are people out there loke yourself who are similar.

While I agree that the Casino stages in pevious entries have been fantastic, I can't help but feel some disappointment with these news. The casino theme has been done to death with the Sonic franchise. It would have been nice if they would have prevented themselves from using it in just one game.

@Zodiak13 You hate Sony but own their products. To hell with logic, eh? :B

It would have been awesome for Nintendo to have released an HD Wii a few years back. Imagine the impact it would have made! :B

The important part is that rhat time is here with the Wii U now. HD is standard, and the Wii U will start selling, with all.the titles that are on the way.

I prefer the NES. Looks more elegant in my opinion. The gamepads look GREAT on either console. :B

Have faith in the man, people. He's the man behind the titles you all love, why doubt him when he wants to try to bring something more original to the game? I support the man and his willingness to try to expand a beloved franchise.

They won't screw anything up. Mark my words!

I spent many hours playing this as a toddler on the NES. I don't remember what happened to that NES or to this game cartridge (or any of the many that we owned at the time), but I definitely miss it, it's a great game.

I wouldn't mind getting this from the VC someday just to revisit this gem.

I bought the Rumble Pack (without the battery cover, unfortunately) on one of my many trips to the local swapmeet over half a year ago, I think, and it's awesome. I've only used it a couple of times, but it cost me next to nothing (30 Pesos; that's about two dollars), so I think it was definitely worth the purchase. Especially since most of the titles I own for my Nintendo 64 support it.

@Nabbit101 If it's been in the works for a while, that's good. We find out about it sooner than later!

And since this is a first-party Nintendo title, it's gonna be top notch!

I've never imported a single game. I've onlt ever owned ONE imported game, which I bought from a friend... for the GAME BOY. (Wario Land). But that's it.

I don't really care about region-locks, 'cause like you've said, I have more than enough games, both retro and modern, that I can purchase here in my area.

@MAN1AC Keep in mind that these games will be released globally. So don't be surprised if you hear that these bundles will be available everywhere sooner than later.

I can guarandamntee that it will happen.

I haven't even touched the Fifth Generation games, and their servers are already getting shut down? Man, that blows. They've only been up about two years. Not a long time.

Sigh. ANOTHER mini-game compilation. They never have been for me. (.-.)

HA-HA! Eat THAT, Level-5. This is hilarious. x)

Also, I honestly have no clue who any of those characters are.

I saw the review of this game in CGRUndertow a whiiiiile back, and I knew I had to own it someday. Next time I get credit for my 3DS, this one's the first I'm downloading.

An awesome title for an awesome character. Go, SEGA.

I didn't even know such a Game Gear game existed. D:

@retro_player_22 u So you'd rather have less of challenge using Nabbit than Luigi? Tsk-tsk. :B

Can't seem to watch the video, but hey, sone publicity for the Wii U!

People are so worried about limitations on either version, and I'm just sitting here onowing that no matter what version you get, both will be fantastic.

REMEMBER that Nintendo made these consoles, and that NINTENDO made the past Smash Bros games, and that they're making this one, too.

Relax, people. The game will be great. You should know that by now.

It WILL disappoint me to see some familiar faces not in the new roster, but I'll get over it quickly and enjoy the game to the max like I always do.

Besides, if I want to play as some of the characters that won't be in this 4th iteration, I'll just play any of the first three. I keep my consoles, after all, and I love all of the games. This won't be a problem.

This is an absolutely FANTASTIC game. I would know, I own a SEGA Game Gear (yes, it works, believe you me!) and an original Cartridge of this game that's in excellent condition. Not that I like to brag... :B

No, but seriously, for those who haven't played this game before, BUY IT. You won't regret it. It's challenging, it looks & plays great, and most importantly, it's FUN.

@jon45030 There are no such thing as "HARDCORE GAMERS". That's just a stupud, irrelevant label that some idiot in the industry came up with to try to descrive a type of gamer that doesn't exist.

I'm not attacking you, mind you. I'm just sick of hearing all of this "hardcore gamer" garbage. You're either a gamer, or a casual gamer, or you're not one at all.

I've only played the 3DS Demo of Mutant Mudds, but the game looks and plays great ALREADY, and to have even further-improved visuals on the Wii U? I'd say that's freakin' great! I'd buy this for $9.99 without a doubt. But I don't own a Wii U.

So if it were to be released for the PlayStation 3, I'd be there in a jiffy. :B

Never in my life have I doubted Nintendo's ability to deliver. They've been a part of me my whoke life, and I'm pretty sure it'll always be that way.

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE NINTENDO!

I'm pretty sure I'll ALWAYS be a Pokémon an. I've been so since as far as I can remember.

My first game was Yellow, I think, and I played it on my Kiwi Game Boy Color. A relative of mine had Red & Blue, so I got to play 'em all.

The first Two Generations will always be my favorites, 'cause they're the ones I've played the most, especially as a kid. Lots of fond memories that reallu touch home.

I love Pokémon.

I haven't played this game on yeeaaaarrsss. Hopefully I'll find the GBA version in one of my swapmeet trips. I'd love to play this again.

@CaveDweller Sooner than later we'll see the Wii U prove all the doubters wrong.

No matter what you think of this guy for speaking his mind (jerk or not), he's shooing away potential customers and business partners for his company. Baaaaad business move sir, baaad. Hehehe. :B

@Rawk_Hawk It's, "I couldn't care less." You're welcome.

@gavn64 And that's all just a matter of opinion & on-screen character acting. Phil (Punk) doesn't think he's the best in actuality. I personally think he's great all-around, but I would give Bryan the edge when it comes to perfornance in the ring. I'm a huge fan of both though. :3

That said, I hope Wii U owners do get their WWE games. Even though most aren't fans.

SMAAAAART move, Nintendo. I look forward to this. If done right, it could spell success. :B
