They're hardly cryptic. Although, I do want them to make Ruby and Sapphire remakes, partly because they were my favourite games in the series, but mostly so all of these annoying posters in the comment sections will stop begging for it on every Pokémon article. It's almost as annoying as the Square Enix fans begging for Kingdom Hearts 3 pre-E3.
There are benefits to portability, sure, but that doesn't make this any less disappointing to hear. They could at least remake the six adventures for a home consoles. The games on handheld devices are great, but the games could be expanded so much further on the Wii U.
C'mon Nintendo, sue these idiots for misuse and put them out of business. Get real jobs, and stop complaining about a game where magnets KO ice cream cones.
Price has never really bugged me until recently. In the case of the 3DS XL, it's fairly priced, I just can't afford one right now with the games I want. That's fair. However, when we come to things like Wind Waker HD, why in the world should I have to pay £45 for it? I could easily buy it, but why exactly is it £10 more than the average Wii U game?
@redsoul91 Not gonna lie, I have no clue how he'd work as a playable character, and there are quite a lot of characters that I want more, but I like the idea. I'd take Pac-Man over Snake any day.
Mario vs. Sonic vs. Mega Man vs. Pac-Man would just be my childhood rolled into one game. There's not a lot of third party characters that deserve to be represented, but I think Pac-Man is one of them. I think Namco deserve at least one character for helping with the game, and no character makes more sense than their mascot.
It's actually quite disappointing to read some of the comments here, shunning this game just because Retro chose Donkey Kong. Metroid isn't going anywhere, and Nintendo are aware of the demand for it so there's a big chance we'll get a Metroid game for the Wii U eventually. We don't need every single IP to get a game immediately. There's still a long time to receive an F-Zero, Star Fox, Wave Race, 1080, and/or Metroid game in this generation.
I know I'd much rather have a Metroid game once developers have more experience with the console, so the game can be as good as possible. If they're not ready to make one, they shouldn't force it just to please people.
Still, I'm not a big fan of DC, and I'm even less of a fan of NetherRealm, so I don't care. The two hours I spent with the game fixed its position as one of the most dull fighting games I've ever played.
Until they show a Wii U trailer, I won't be able to make a choice on which version to buy. I still can't decide whether PS4's performance or Wii U's Gamepad integration will be more important.
I'm gonna have to get this for Christmas. I'll go Torchic, Bulbasaur and Froakie.
Really glad that Torchic and the original three are available in this game, because not only is Torchic my favourite starter Pokémon, but the final evolutions for all three Kalos starters are pretty disappointing. Greninja is just the best of a bad situation.
That's actually a really good showing, considering how massive the first two games are over here, it was F1 2013's debut, and the fact that they're all multiplatform. Granted, there aren't many heavy hitting games below it, but it still looks like a positive for a country that has largely ignored the console.
Western or not, I just want to see Nintendo collaborate with other studios. They have so much IP just wasting away, and they obviously don't have enough internal staff to work on all of them, so they should let other studios have a shot. F-Zero, Star Fox, 1080 Snowboarding, Wave Race, Excitebike, Sheriff, Geist, etc. could be brought back with the help of another developer.
At the very least, every single VC game should be cross-buy, and should transfer to the successors of the Wii U and the 3DS for free. I would think that indie and retail games should be as well.
@robertman2 Last true game was Nazo no Murasamejo in '86, but he had a cameo in Samurai Warriors 3 and a themed minigame in Nintendo Land, so Nintendo haven't completely forgotten about him. I have hope.
Plus, there were rumours of an East vs. West scenario, where Takamaru would represent the East, and Little Mac for the West.
I was excited before the Direct, but this was one of the best trailers I've ever seen. Day one purchase. I'm certain this will be one of the best Mario games ever.

Legends didn't sell enough? I wonder if the delay had anything to do with it, Ubisoft.

Re: Day One Update Looks Set to Spin Into Sonic Lost World on Wii U
When is the review coming? I'd really like to see some impressions before I get it on Friday.
Re: Here Are More Gorgeous Super Mario 3D World Screens to Enjoy
This game will be mine.
Re: Watch_Dogs Pushed Back to Spring 2014
Take as long as you want. I'm swamped with games already.
Re: Weirdness: A Mario Kart Movie Could be Epic
No. Just no.
Re: Pokémon X & Y Sell Over Four Million Copies Worldwide in Just Two Days
Who's really surprised? Pokémon is the definition of a system seller.
I'm guessing it will be over double that by the end of the year.
Re: Poll: Did You Pick Up Pokémon X, Pokémon Y or Both?
Nothing yet, but I'm getting X eventually. After watching Pokémon Origins, I NEED Mega Charizard X.
Re: Nintendo Announces Luigi and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds 3DS XL Models
They both look really cool.
However, I'm still waiting for that Black 3DS XL, Nintendo.
Re: Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Eight
@Ren Cool story bro.
Re: Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Eight
@Nico07 I was actually more interested in Wuhu Island.
Sonic vs. Bowser gets my vote in a pretty dull week.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th October (Europe)
@AdanVC Friday in Europe. A week or so in the US.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th October (Europe)
Wow, another crap week. Who in the world asked for Urban Champion?
At least Sonic Lost World is out on Friday. Got the Deadly Six Edition preordered.
Re: Review: Final Fight 2 (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
Still gonna buy it. Gotta have the complete series.
And for anyone that's curious, yes. Including Streetwise.
Re: Don't Expect To See A Mainline Pokémon Game On Wii U Or Your Smartphone

Re: Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures To Come to Life in March 2014
@Nintenjoe64 Nope. Not yet.
Am I the only one who doesn't like the look of this? In its current state, it looks like a bargain bin purchase at best.

Re: Two Tribes Teases New Title While Describing Toki Tori 2+ Level Editor as "In The Fridge"
Life goes on. The game is a lot of fun without it. I don't feel anywhere near as cheated about buying this than I do about buying Chasing Aurora.
When Broken Rules refund me the £5.49 I wasted on that mess, I'll complain about this.
Re: Video: Dixie Kong Struts Her Stuff in This New Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Trailer
@Ferret This. I don't need motion controls for this game.
Re: Nintendo Wants Wii U To Be "The Console That Every Developer Wants To Publish On"
If you have such a good relationship with third party developers, where are the games?
Nintendo always have an amazing first party line up, so it's a shame that I always have to look elsewhere for third party support.
Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition Isn't Coming To Wii U
Who's surprised? I'm not!
Still, I'm not a big fan of DC, and I'm even less of a fan of NetherRealm, so I don't care. The two hours I spent with the game fixed its position as one of the most dull fighting games I've ever played.

Re: Pokémon X & Y Torchic Distribution Announced
I'm gonna have to get this for Christmas. I'll go Torchic, Bulbasaur and Froakie.
Really glad that Torchic and the original three are available in this game, because not only is Torchic my favourite starter Pokémon, but the final evolutions for all three Kalos starters are pretty disappointing. Greninja is just the best of a bad situation.
Re: Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Seven
Two springs is pretty cool. Mario vs. Sonic vs. Mega Man is awesome too. There's room for one more gaming icon...
Re: If You Liked the Latest Super Mario 3D World Trailer, You'll Love the New Screens
Game looks amazing. I might actually preorder this.
And that music! I hope the soundtrack is mostly made up of jazz tracks.

Re: Nintendo Download: 10th October (Europe)
Golf and Tennis. Really.
I suppose I'll just buy Final Fight.
Re: Hyper Light Drifter Receives Official Wii U Stretch Goal
$100,000 in a week? It's been done before, and with Mighty No.9 and Shantae out of the way, it doesn't have as much competition. Let's get this done!
Re: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Conjures Up More Than Twice Its Kickstarter Goal
@jeb_leeds Yeah... no.
Re: Working With Western Developers Is All About Trust, Says Miyamoto

Re: Nintendo Considering Cross-Buy eShop Purchases, But Doesn't Have Anything To Announce Yet
At the very least, every single VC game should be cross-buy, and should transfer to the successors of the Wii U and the 3DS for free. I would think that indie and retail games should be as well.
Re: Out Now: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
I want to get it, but I'm in no position to spend £45 on a game. I'll just get Lost World this month and wait for Wind Waker to drop in price.
Re: Pandora's Tower Creator Ganbarion Is Co-Developing Wii Fit U
I really like Ganbarion. Hopefully they can become close partners with Nintendo.
Re: Video: Proof That Pokémon + Dubstep = Not Quite As Bad As It Sounds
@Haxonberik Check out DJ Ephixa. He's got Zelda, Kirby and Donkey Kong remixes.
Re: Video: Proof That Pokémon + Dubstep = Not Quite As Bad As It Sounds
You want Pokémon dubstep? Go listen to Arion.
Lindsey Sterling is alright, but she's not that great.
Re: Two Tribes Confirms Details of Three Titles in Wii U Classics Range, All Hitting This Year
Toki Tori is mine.
Re: Sonic Dashes Into Action in These Super Smash Bros. Screens
Pokémon character next week?
Re: Gazooks! Pokémon Favourite Charizard Can Mega Evolve Into X And Y Variants
You can never have enough Charizard. Never.
I wonder if a Pokémon will use a Mega Evolution in SSB4 as a Final Smash?
Re: More Mega Man Love Is Coming To Japanese Virtual Console Services
To celebrate Mega Man's appearance in SSB4, I'd like to see all 10 Mega Man games on the Wii U eShop.
A man can dream, can't he?
Re: Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games Online Multiplayer Outlined
Hopefully when the Rio game drops, every event will be online.
Re: Pikmin 3 Mission Mode DLC Launches Today
I've had this game for six weeks and I still haven't opened it. As soon as I 100% Rayman Legends, it's on.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Confirmed For Super Smash Bros. On Wii U And 3DS

Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Confirmed For Super Smash Bros. On Wii U And 3DS
@robertman2 Isaac/Matthew and Shulk would be awesome.
However, my most wanted swordsman is Takamaru. That would make my hype meter skyrocket.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Confirmed For Super Smash Bros. On Wii U And 3DS
@robertman2 I'm guessing Chrom. Seems like the obvious choice.
Personally, I'm more interested in a Golden Sun or Xenoblade representative.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Confirmed For Super Smash Bros. On Wii U And 3DS
I really hope they change his moveset a little, at least his Down-B.
Still, Mario vs. Sonic vs. Mega Man is gonna be sweet. There's still room for one more third party mascot!
Re: Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies Demo Is Available Now On The 3DS eShop
Phoenix's voice is great, I gotta say. Don't care whether it's physical or digital anymore. I need this game once I buy a 3DS.
Re: Super Mario 3D World Brings New Power-Ups to the Mushroom Kingdom
I was excited before the Direct, but this was one of the best trailers I've ever seen. Day one purchase. I'm certain this will be one of the best Mario games ever.
