@Holly Considering everyone and their mothers watched The Avengers, we shouldn't be worried

He thought we didn't notice...but we did.

Hopefully this new Wii U game is an actual pokémon RPG (like the main series games) instead of Pokémon xD

@NorthLightSuplx Replace "3DS" with "Wii U"...
And "Other M" with "Prime" and it's a deal.

Hopefully Purplekecleon draws some things on Miiverse soon!

@ricklongo Considering how famous football is here, and considering how successful "Super Once"'s been here...Nintendo's missing a great opportunity.
Think it's not going to sell in the US? No problem, make it a latam exclusive or something.

@Bulby Mega Kangy is not going to be uber, she's pretty slow and the rest of her stats are not very high.
...Unless her stats are increased.

@DePapier Technically W101 is a first party exclusive, since the IP is owned by Nintendo, P* is just developing the game...

@belmont Uhh, pixelation is incredibly common in 3DS game trailers...the game is supposed to look cell-shaded, it's SUPPOSED to look simple.
Super training is not for BS training, is for EV training.

@Koto It's probably based on some asian legend or something. They're weird.

@Garios Btw these aren't real evolutions, they're more like Darmanitan's Zen Mode.

@Koto Ampharos' japanese name is "Electric dragon". Literally. No, seriously, it's literally "Elegon" (but in japanese, obviously)

I can't believe it, MegaBlaziken looks even better than Infernape...and infernape's my favorite pokémon!
Too bad they only go mega during battle, I want to see the Megas in my team ;_;

Being fair, you're getting a lot of attention with the 3DS, Iwata!

@RedRocBoy "I really hope this game does well! I'll be buying it when it's cheaper"
Huh.

@QuickSilver88 This month's direct was "bland" on purpose, it was confirmed hours ago that it would be focused on already confirmed games.
Be happy they at least announced Prof vs Ace.

I really like how a lot of these indies look! Hopefully they sell decently, the Wii U needs as much as possible and the indies may be its saving grace.

@19Robb92 It's not the same Link, the "old art" Link is the Link from A Link to the Link-- er, I mean A Link to the Past. Notice the different bracelet.
Or at least, I think it is. The Link from the old artwork looks a lot more like the Link from ALttP...ugh, this is getting messy.

@Adam that joke got old years ago :I

@LordGeovanni This is pretty much what I get from your commercial idea:
"It has a second screen! Just like the 3DS. You can play it while someone else's watching TV! Just like the 3DS. You can play classic Nintendo games! Just like the 3DS. You know what? You may as well just get a 3DS"

@Williaint Being fair the name "Ultra 64" was never used.
Just change the console's name to...something different. New Nintendo Entertainment System, just "Ultra Nintendo", Super/Ultra Wii...they're all better names than "Wii U".

And come on, that line of dialog I put in my comment is pretty informative and would make a decent commercial. Better than this one, I think.

I liked the commercial, dunno what's with all the thumbs down...s.

Just make this happen, Nintendo:

"Introducing, the ULTRA NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM!! (yeah, change the name. Who's not gonna be attracted to THAT one?) There are so many possibilities with this new console! Play games like Assassin's Creed! Mario Kart. Splinter Cell Blacklist! The Wonderful 101. Rayman Legends! Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. Call of Duty: Ghosts, Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3 AND MUCH MORE! IN HD FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A NINTENDO CONSOLE!! But oh, what are the pros of getting a UNES, aside from the great games? Well, the gamepad! It functions as a wireless second screen for your console, letting you play your games on the toilet, outside your house, the kitchen, or anywhere you want! You can even play on it while someone else's watching the tele. But not only that, there's also the Miiverse! The social network created exclusively for the Wii U! (Disclaimer: Miiverse can be accessed with a browser and your Nintendo ID too) Talk about your favorite games, the Wii U Virtual Console or the eShop, and even make new friends.
The Ultra Nintendo Entertainment System, U.N.E.S, experience the future of gaming right now"

There you go. Hire JonTron and you'll sell 20 million consoles in 1 year :V

Nintendo should give the Wii U three years, if it's still selling like crap by then, release a new console AT LEAST on par with the PS4 or else...they'll be left behind.
And announce it A FEW MONTHS before its release date, not a whole year.

@Peek-a-boo There's no confirmed price tag yet :/

tl;rd

Will probably read later

@Erixsan Woah, really? Dude, the Wii U can be found in some stores in Venezuela, and the 3DS is found everywhere. Can't believe there is so little support for Nintendo products there.

Ok Nintendo, now bring Mother 3 to the Wii U VC...

@smashbrolink Have you considered that Persona 5 is being developed for the 3DS? :/

@The_Inquisitor But Sony DEMANDS all developers to use off-TV play, so I don't see why they would think the Wii U is "an inconvenience"...

@The_Inquisitor Yeah, because pre-orders totally translate to sales...

First of all, this is pathetic. I can't believe this game is coming to the PS4 AND Xbox One (the freaking XBOX ONE!!!) but not the Wii U...can you say "biased"?
Second of all: Double Helix. You know? The developer of Silent Hill Homecoming, G.I. Joe and a bunch of other horrible licensed games? Yeah, if I were you guys, I wouldn't be very excited about this game...

@sdcazares1980
Exactly how has that been proven? The Wii U doesn't even have any confirmed specs yet simply because Nintendo hasn't revealed them.

Also...
"Is based on the PlayStation 2 edition
...
So, the worst looking version.

Why do I feel like this decision will end up biting them in the ass? The gamecube version of SCII was the best selling version of the game. This is just ridiculous...

Why do I feel that these soapbox articles are a little...redundant?

It should've been released in 2010, that's for sure...

@Zombie_Barioth The possibilities of Sony buying Atlus are...very low. Since when does Sony even care about Atlus? ...Like, at all? Yeah, I know that Atlus published most of their games on the PS2 during the 6th generation, but that's just because the PS2 was the best selling console back then, they published just...what? 4 titles on the PS3?

It's pretty obvious Nintendo cares a lot about Atlus now: The Club Nintendo thing for SMT4, SMT x Fire Emblem, all the promotion...ing for SMT4...
I'm not saying Nintendo's going to buy Atlus since...sadly, that's not what they do...but hey! They actually bought Monolith Soft in 200X (uh) and that...ended up being one of their best decisions ever! And come on, Nintendo is not going to let SMT x FE be cancelled...

" our tipster reckons it doesn't look like any current 'mon, except possibly a Munna"

Wat

@IxnayontheCK So, is there any reason the 3DS is outselling the VITA?

I can't believe so many people are complaining about "the lack of Earthbound on the 3DS".
You ALL know how the 3DS VC works: No SNES games, no N64 games, no GBA games. Period. Deal with it.

@rjejr "the aforementiond WVA and Awesomenauts and some other PSN games look nearly this good"
The hell?

Lightning Bolt and Bomb Blast...?

...

I liked Spark and Bomber a lot more...

@Dogpigfish Crappy tensai japanime?
Oh, you just didn't say that...

@allav866 It seems like the strategy guide-on-the-gamepad thing increased its price...hum. It's just two more dollars, though.

@KAHN Well, duh. They're kids.

@DerpSandwich Except it isn't.

@Kodeen That's not Zelda and Link and Link. That's Link, Hylia, and Hylia's Chosen Hero (the one with the...pointier eyes)

"Smartphones and tablets are the biggest priorities"

Poor Europe.

@WiiLovePeace Think of it this way: Balloon Fight was $40 30 years ago.

@KongFu The story of the SMT games is much better, as it deals with more serious stuff. Considering both series are pretty much the same, that's all I can tell you.

NEStroid sucks...now, so this score is imo a little too high for it, but...eh, whatever

The new professor looks dreaaaamy...

Er, I mean...

smexy.

@Bensei ...Obviously.
And it's not DS2 Overclocked, it's DS Overclocked, the first game with extra content.

@KongFu The SMT games are much better than persona, unless your favorite thing about Persona was the high school setting...

Now people, shut up about Drift 1 and buy this game.
It's better than Super Mario Kart

@Aquilalex No, no "Maybe", you WILL buy it. Go, go to your local store and buy this masterpiece.

Also...
"the most captivating cast of monsters this side of kanto"
"cast of monster this side of kanto"
"side of kanto"
"kanto"

: OOOOOOOOOOO

@smashbrolink Hopefully that's what happened, it would teach internet complainers a thing or two...

Oh my god, they'll be so disappointed when Watch_Dogs sells like crap on the PS4 & Xbox One...
And let's not even talk about The Crew & The Division, poor Ubi.
