Clearly this is a teaser for Pikmin V: The Phantom Pik. Focused on stealth missions with invisible pikmin

Would Pikmin 4 be too much to ask for? Though realistically that wouldn't carry the holidays. Most likely just Pokemon as the big release.

Zelda!

Been exploring Terraria again - every year or so I check back and there's always new things to enjoy

I backed this on kickstarter back when I did that. Haven't played it yet, but I'm glad to see it come to fruition. Still waiting on one other I backed years ago.

Ack, urk, no. That's too much for two random pins. This and lack of money will make it easier to stay away

What the what?

The Nintendo Minute episode on this showed how mind-numbingly simple it is. I can't believe someone thought that the way to make Monopoly better was to make it MORE simple.

Comparing Sunshine to games released years after it is clearly not fair. Compare it to SM64, Rare's games, any 5th/early 6th gen platformer. In that context it certainly doesn't have the best camera and controls, but was by no means below average. Sunshine has always felt more personal to me than the subsequent outings, which were just level by level, which is fine, but Sunshine has so much more atmosphere, and that makes it special.

I adore this game, but don't feel the need of a remake. Great for people who haven't played it, but I wouldn't buy it

Can't imagine it ever achieving the status of the donkey rap, but kind of fun I guess

Looks awesome, I would love to see this finished! Both Gunman Clives were great!

Ideally they would bring their major IP like AC and Watch Dogs over for future installments, but I would personally most like to see new UbiArt titles in the vein of Child of Light.

wow, that's pretty crazy and cool

Sticking with Wii U. I don't play enough games right now to justify a new system

What about on Wii U? does it have the same problems?

Oracle of Ages is my favourite

Pokemon Go is more of a phenomenon, but is it really a better game than Fire Emblem Fates or Monster Hunter Generations? Certainly not as far as I'm concerned.

At the very least it should include all content from the two versions in one package. All 3DS and Wii U stages, and all dlc

Would need more new games than just Mario and Zelda in the first six months to be good, at least as far as I and I assume other Wii U owners are concerned

You said North America, doesn't work for Canada.

I like where this console is headed, glad that it looks like Nintendo is keeping relevant. I won't get one at launch, though. I'm not playing games as much as I did before university, so I'm not buying new games for now. Also I don't understand how it can run at high quality on the go, they can't build something with the power of a Wii U or PS4 into that little screen-controller thing. I just hope it works like they say.

Hmm, still not sold. To me the story and combat are the most important parts of Paper Mario, and this says they're still lacking. Plus I'm still getting over my disappointment with Paper Jam. That game was just really boring to me. Maybe I need more of a challenge to be interested than I was when I was younger.

Barely played the first one, but loved the second. Certainly one to keep an eye on.

Why is there a picture of the Enterprise NX-01 (funny coincidence) for that game?

Best system by games imo. So hard to pick. Paper Mario is my favourite game period. Both Pikmin 1 and 2 are incredible. Luigi's Mansion, Sunshine and Melee are crammed with nostalgia. Wind Waker is amazing. Metroid Prime is really good. Too many I tell ya

Haven't played a lot of NES games, long before my time. But Contra, Kid Icarus and Mario Bros. are my favourites from what I've played.

Hopefully we get another main Pikmin for NX, but a spin-off might be the best fit for the less powerful 3DS. If it gets good reviews and the gameplay sounds good, then I'll be happy to get it.

I backed the first game, and I really liked it. Looking forward to Part 2 finally!

Having read Console Wars, Kalinske seems like a very interesting man, and I wish him the best. And as to Aerona's comment right above, he hasn't fallen. From what I know of Kalinske, he loves building companies from small to big, working with underdogs, like Sega was when he started there, and he's done it a number of times. Besides, he surely could have gotten a job at a big company if he'd wanted to. The man's a legend, not just for Sega, but for Barbie and more.

I already have both Steamworlds (Dig twice, actually), so I won't get that, no matter how awesome it looks. But I've had my eye on Fast Racing Neo. So if the price is competitive, then that it would be cool to have a disc.

I have no use for this. I already have a lot of those games on VC. Might get the controller though, sounds like a cool way to play the VC games I have. It would be great to have a SNES controller released like this too

Pikmin 4 would certainly go a ways to making me want to buy an NX. Right now I have so many games on Wii U, 3DS, PC that I can't justify a new system purchase without some real must-haves. Pikmin is one of those for me.

Pikmin 3 is probably the most underappreciated Wii U game imo, and Pikmin as a whole is Nintendo's most underappreciated franchise, particularly now that Fire Emblem has finally caught on.

I don't know if that makes sense from my perspective. I mean, tons of people recognize Mario, Pokemon, even Zelda, and are familiar with the Wii, DS, Gameboy. People are very aware of Nintendo already. I don't see how making them simply more aware is necessarily going to make people want to buy Nintendo products more.

I love the gamepad, possibly my favourite Nintendo controller, only the gamecube controller might be better. It's too bad it's expensive, but a lot of games have made great use of it, and I hated the Wii remote. Never liked it, always a pain to play regular games with that thing

Satoru Iwata wasn't President until 2002, the Xbox launched in 2001. Though, he was head of corporate planning from 2000, maybe that's what they meant.

He seems to be avoiding an important point, that Zelda will be on Wii U and NX, so the game's ability to drive the NX will be limited. People who own a Wii U already aren't going to rush out and buy an NX for Zelda alone.

holy moly of poopie that's awesome!

Haven't played X/Y, but I like Greninja in Smash

Too bad it's not till 2017, very little coming out for me this year. But I'm not playing as much lately anymore anyway (please don't tell me I'm growing up, please no), so I can wait.

I'm down for another dlc pack. I don't have any specific old tracks in mind, but a Splatoon track would be welcome. I really think for the next entry they should have more non-Mario tracks and characters. There are so many tracks that are re-hashes or not that exciting in concept, so basing them on other games like they did with dlc would be very welcome.

While it's good at isn't just Zelda, now it's pretty much just Zelda and Pokemon. Considering I'm not interested in Pokemon much anymore, the other games don't interest me either, and I don't want to spoil Zelda, I may not watch at all. There may be some surprise announcements though, which could be good.

All solid choices

hm, Runbow might make me buy it after all. I will need to think on this

I just hope they make good investments with the money. All this Nintendo news today has bummed me out. Please make me believe again soon with awesome announcements.

Finally! I've been waiting for it to release on Wii U. I wanna play it before X, I don't have a N3DS, and discs are too expensive. Bout time.

I love the GamePad. The motion controls for Splatoon, touch for Super Mario Maker, the map in Pikmin 3, and many more make great use of its special features. The buttons and sticks are great for regular games (WAY better than the crappy wiimote, on par with the GameCube controller imo). And I don't see how it holds anything back, except that friends have to use wiimotes instead of the GamePad, and that can often be an unfair disadvantage.

I tried Wild World like a decade ago, and I don't remember it well (I sold it) but I didn't like it very much. I sort of feel like I should give it another chance whenever the next one comes out, but I'm not really into the kind of games where you do a little bit every day over an extended period of time, and games that are addicting. So maybe I shouldn't try it.

can't I vote for Zero Time Dilemma 3 times?
