@BLPs I think they just mean that it's a one-fits-all code. Generally, when giveaways of this type are done, each person who takes part gets a unique code, but this is just one code that works for everyone. It's not a code that can be used more than once in a specific game. It's just weirdly worded.
@Sonicfan11589 SERIOUSLY! Sunshine seems like the most obvious choice to me. Mario Galaxy would, admittedly, be absolutely gorgeous with the kind of HD sheen that Mario 3D World has, but it's kind of already pretty gorgeous as is. They'd do better to take something like Sunshine and give it polish.
@Nintenjoe64 You've posted two comments on this article, and I agree wholeheartedly with both of them. I can't tell you how badly I want to be able to play Super Mario RPG on my GamePad! And YES YES YES to MegaMan 64!
@smikey SNES has my favorite set of games, but a large chunk of them have already been released on Wii U's VC. If they'd get their act together, and just push out a vast library of VC titles, the Wii U would be a must-have console right this minute.
@eviLaTtenDant If you're the one using the GamePad, maybe. If not, then no. With the 3DS, every player will always have their own screen, so things like this work.
@ModestFan93 You do realize those games are made by two different studios in Ubisoft, right? Complaining that they're making one and not another is like complaining that you're not getting another Legacy of Kain game because Square Enix is making a new Final Fantasy.
@audiobrainiac You. I like you. Moreso than SMW graphics, I hope they'll at least include the assets to build SMW levels, because that's what I'm most excited about in this game. I also hope we can pick and choose from all the overworld themes from throughout the Mario series.
@Decapre To be fair, the Zelda timeline is so much of a cluster-you-know-what that it wouldn't have been a fantastic stretch of the imagination for them to try and squeeze it in somewhere.
@TechnoTaylor The fact that they didn't mention virtual console AT ALL yesterday makes me think some sort of announcement pertaining is coming later this week.
@ArcanineArco Normally, I'd be inclined to agree, but the fact that it was at a place in its development where they actually considered showing it off last year, coupled with the Wii U's dire straits, makes me wonder whether they're going to really try to ramp up development to have it out the door this year. It's a longshot (no pun intended!) of a thing to hope for, but saying, "Here's a new HD Zelda game, it'll be out IN FOUR MONTHS" might really manage to do some damage control on the Wii U.
Well, it's unfortunate that they haven't announced the cross-buy discount, but I can't complain. I was thinking about buying Crashmo last week, so it's a good thing I held off!
@DESS-M-8 What? How did you get that from this article? That's literally the opposite of what Iwata said. He specifically said that arbitrarily releasing new hardware won't wield any financial gain unless those who purchased the current hardware have been satisfying. How do you take that to mean they're abandoning the Wii U?
@Marshi "'Nintendo is absolutely going to reveal new hardware at E3...' is something that we would say if Nintendo were going to reveal new hardware at E3, but unfortunately it is not the case that NINTENDO IS GOING TO REVEAL NEW HARDWARE AT E3, so we cannot unfortunately say that NINTENDO WILL DEFINITELY BE REVEALING NEW HARDWARE AT E3."

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire to Be Available in an Exclusive Money-Saving Dual Pack
Um... I don't know where you're getting $10 from, but 39.99 times two is 79.98. This doesn't really save any money at all.

No Donkey Kong. Damnit, Nintendo.

Games using smell and wind? I see an epic Wario game in the future.

@CaviarMeths Why do you feel the need to do that? Cat't a game just have a lot of female characters without you fetishizing it?

Re: Mario Maker to Include Additional Graphical Styles, Sharing Levels is "Really The Whole Point"
@audiobrainiac You. I like you.

@ogo79 Wait, so you DON'T want Earthbound to be on the Wii U? I'm confused.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect In Nintendo Direct - 13th February
@Peach64 If we're getting another HD GameCube remake, I hope it's Mario Sunshine.
