At first I thought Chrom was an alternate version of Lucina but upon viewing the video it looks like Chrom may be a part of Robin's final smash. But then again it looked like Chrom initiated the final smash. Need more info!!!!

Twilight Princess was the first game to really astound me throughout the whole game. Everything about it was absolutely awesome. Second would probably have to be Majora's Mask and third would be WindWaker.

@grimbldoo
I'm just saying it makes more sense to add a gaming icon then one anyone has hardly heard of even if they're more "interesting".

@grimbldoo
Pacman is a gaming icon. Those are not even close. You should brush up on your gaming.knowledge.

Seems more annoying to do than beneficial. Bouncing all over the course instead of actually racing wouldn't be worth it.

@MixMasterMudkip other M is definitely in my top 5 wii games. I don't know why so many didn't enjoy that game.

@Dodger lol seeing it in actual context that would've been weird.

@siconlol They were trying to make those who want to play as peach AND be in a high weight class be able to have a character. Yes silly. But people always want more characters. Some as ridiculous as obscure 3rd party characters.

@siconlol This is completely absurd. Nintendo would not do this. Especially since there's no need for that since there are LOADS of Nintendo characters.

I have thought of this many times and I'm completely torn on the idea too. But I think after Mariokart 8 though, it might not be such a bad idea to test the waters by adding in kirby and link, and maybe a "warp star" cup, (see what I did there). Who knows, for all we know Nintendo could have been SUPER hush hush and actually have included kirby as the last unlockable character. But I think I would love it.

Nintendo has always delivered grade A games without having them being 1080p nor 60fps. Many of which are better than the competition's HD graphics games. You know why? Because Nintendo puts the majority of the focus on the actual components of the games and the gameplay.

I disagree. There is no "best" item. In mariokart you have to make the best out of any item you get.

And NintendoLife, the red shells in mk7 have a MUCH MUCH improved targeting system compared to mkdd and mk64 where they hit 95% of the time for me. (as long as you use them smartly) You can expect them to hit when there are thwomps or items in your way.

It'd be cool to see a Lucina costume for Marth kind of how they did with the wii fit trainer and the villager. As for Chrom, he has to be a character. Fire Emblem Awakening did really well so they will have 3 characters. Otherwise, yes, this was a pretty silly decision.

not really sure what I was just looking at...

Oh no I'll have to get my playing time in now! ...oh wait, that's right, I don't own any of EA's game. Nor want to own any of them. Nor care. EA has already shutdown in my world.

The Twinnorita was my go to ride! Great speed and absolute perfect handling (which was most important flying at break neck speeds of 1000 km/hr), I beat all cups with that car! Actually blew up and flew over the finish line on the last race of the diamond cup going from 26th to 4th and got 1st place overall! Will never forget that!

I'm guessing that it will take more work for the Wii U version than the 3ds. And if the 3ds version is ready, why delay that one til winter too? Kind of stinks but we'll see how it plays out.

This actually looks awesome. Virtual reality mario, wii golf, or zombiu would be sweet!

Yes yes yes. That's why I love nintendo because they keep innovating whereas xb and ps only do what they know.

@QuickSilver88 that sounds positively awesome.

Hmmm looks a little like Heroscape. I'll definitely be looking into this more.

Got these for the platinum reward 2 years ago. They are wonderful and shiny and I refuse to play with them in order to keep them in all their shinyness!

I actually liked Nicalis and a few of their games, but now my opinion has slightly changed. As a developer, he could easily change that by making games for it that actually USE the gamepad instead of complaining that it isn't used enough.

Really interested. I love that they're actually doing something with the second screen instead of just offering off screen play. More companies need to do this, because this is where the potential of the Wii U is unlocked.

Still have yet to finish Xenoblade Chronicles, such a long great game though! Can't wait to get this one as well! Will definitely preorder just as I did for Xenoblade!

Looks awesome. Best mariokart cover yet!

@CaviarMeths True, but inexperienced players will probably die shorter whereas veterans will be able to get up to 150% damage and actually stay alive for several minutes using the full potential of the aura.

Uhhh what about Smash Bros? And the new HD Zelda and maybe Metroid? Granted Mariokart is one of the top three franchises for Nintendo but it won't make or break them.

Twilight Princess is definitely my favorite as well. It was the first Zelda game where I was actually pumped to buy it and got it within the first week it was out. The story, the atmosphere, the art style, the soundtrack, the new motion control gameplay at the time, and the many new dungeons, areas, and tools, all came together to form the best Zelda adventure yet.

Just finally got the Wii U and played the ZombiU demo and it is by far the BEST survival horror game I have played hands down. The use of the gamepad worked flawlessly I thought. I plan on picking up the actual version soon and I hope Ubisoft really considers ZombiU 2 if Wii U sales do well this holiday! I don't understand how that game could have possibly got bad reviews!

If you're wanting to play CoD/GoW/GTA then go play another system. Because it's a shame that you can't play any actually GOOD games. Those that say Pikmin is just a "kids" games are obviously uncomfortable with their gaming identity. Pikmin is one of the best RTS games I've ever played hands down. Just because it isn't an FPS, doesn't have guns or blood doesn't make it just a kids game. Some people are so stubborn to admit a good game when they see one. They instead base it off of things that shouldn't matter to what makes a great game.

I wouldn't want to shell out a couple bucks if I wanted a new rare piece of furniture. And I sure hope they don't go the route of having items like golden shovels, etc, be available to purchase for $1 each or instead you have to do this near impossible task to get it. But I feel like Nintendo actually cares a lot for consumers and wouldn't do that.

But I still don't like the idea of it.

Well my guess all the usual ones replaced in melee will get the boot. Such as Ike with Chrom (even though I just played thru FE:PoR and RD and have come to appreciate him), pokemon trainer, lucario (as was mewtwo), I wish jigglypuff would be replaced, toon link will get cut, wolf might get cut (replaced with Krystal?), probably ROB and lucas.

I honestly don't know who else to cut tho...the roster better be a LITTLE bit bigger than brawl...
