Its nice to see some of these games finally making their way onto the eShop. Shovel Knight, Assault Android Cactus, and Teslagrad are all day one purchases for me.
Nothing Iwata has said or done leads me to believe that he will be able to get 3rd party support on the Wii U. The situation with them not validating the gamepad yet despite is pretty disappointing too.
Too bad my 3DS is up to date. I'm usually against hacking but in this instance I hope they continue. Its really disgusting how Nintendo continues this nonsense.
Those numbers are still kinda meh for the Wii U but at least its an improvement. Hopefully Nintendo can turn this thing around!
Edit: Those Zelda numbers are pretty good though. Glad too see the ALLTP follow up getting some love
2013 was a GREAT year for the 3DS. Probably one of the best showings Nintendo has ever had when it comes to developing and publishing games. I hate to say the 3DS has peaked, but its going to be REALLY hard to top what they did last year.
It was a nightmare for the Wii U though. There was so much negativity surrounding the console and the company for the vast majority of 2013. Droughts, no stage presentation at E3(the ND stream was even bad ), devs openly talking down on the console, the Rayman Legends situation,etc etc Hopefully they can keep some of that positive holiday momentum in the early stages of 2014.

Re: Nintendo UK Launches a New "Nintendo Girls Club" YouTube Channel
I understand what they're trying to do but these are cringe-worthy.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Pointed to Another Wii U Retail Drought
The Wii U will continue to struggle until Iwata addresses this.
Re: Zero Escape Series Director Struggling to Find Funding for Third Title

Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 13th February
Little Mac and GBA games are the only thing I cared for. Everything else had either been know about for a while or I don't care for it.
Re: Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl Comes Questing To Europe On May 2nd

Re: Rune Factory 4 in Short Supply in North America
I'm not a Rune Factory fan but I'm glad to see the game is selling well. XSEED is one of the better publishers out there.
Re: Atlus Introduces Chlotz from Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars

I just hope they'll be able to release a GOOD sonic game again.
Re: Nintendo Still Seeking a Product to Define the GamePad, With Hopes of Sales Driving Third-Party Support
Nothing Iwata has said or done leads me to believe that he will be able to get 3rd party support on the Wii U. The situation with them not validating the gamepad yet despite is pretty disappointing too.
Re: '90s Arcade Racer Targeting Mid-2014 Release, With 60fps at 720p
I'm not really into racing games but this will be a day one purchase.
Re: Pac-Man Museum Reportedly Cancelled on Nintendo Systems
I had no interest in this game but it says a lot about the state of the Wii u when it doesn't even get Pac Man games.

Re: Talking Point: Is The Castlevania Series Finished With Nintendo?
Nothing will be missed. Konami is pretty much dead outside of the MGS series.
Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2014
Wii U - Smash Bros.
