Peter Moore's April Fool's day joke was pretending to be sorry about the bashing of nintendo of the jokes about the wii u's lack of support

@JohnRedcorn Have to say I sort of agree. NES REMIX easily could have been a smart phone title if you ask me. Not that I would play it on either platform, but it may sell more on smart phones if it were like $4.99. Maybe Nintendo could release an app that allows you to access and play some virtual console games if you a Nintendo ID.

The chart sizes are killing me right now. I'm a tall man who wants to rep a Yoshi shirt but that large size could barely fit my 16 year old brother

Can you imagine going back into the early 90's of the "Genesis does what Nintendon't" era and showing them this? I mean the SEGA fanboys brains would probably explode

@sinalefa totally forgot to add those. Either way I think those people are freakin' crazy.

Almost 120,000 people bought Ground Zeroes? That's insane, I can't believe people are buying it at the price it's set.

This looks really great, but my digital only price is nothing above 15-20 dollars. Hopefully it is fairly priced, I really want to play it!

Can't say I didn't see this coming. The install base of Wii U owners of this game is so small I can hardly ever find an online match anymore. No one to blame but Nintendo's marketing (or lack there of) strategy to children.

I really hope there is at least an option to just use the joystick to turn, from what I saw in the first video it looks to me that they were using the leaning of the controller. Other than that this is one of my most anticipated games of 2014.

@tj3dsXL If I recall correctly, it was confirmed for a US release in 2014.

the 5's and 4's this game is getting really doesn't seem fair, sure the level design and pacing may not be up to par to other platformers but Yoshi games are hardly action packed games. They are intended to be short, explorative, and charming experiences. Is it fair to compare this game to the original so often? I think people need to be more objective. Sequels are supposed to change and add a little but Yoshi games don't have much room to grow if they are to stay in their creative paradigm. I think the art style is fine, the new power ups controlled by the gyroscope will be fine; the only thing that jumped at me as lazy as the lack of original soundtracks. I think it's a 6.5 or 7.

Can wait.. crap I screwed it up!

I don't really think people are giving this enough credit. There is a sizable amount of younger kids with a 3DS, I don't think they are trying to add to much to the old, I think they are trying to build nostalgia within the next generation.

@SilentHunter382 It's like a TGI Friday's with an arcade, bar, and bowling alley in it. If you have ever heard of that.

This is basically advertising for Mario Kart 8. People will walk into D&B, see this, play after consuming alcohol, walk past a gamestop and see that a game like it is coming to Wii U, and buy it. Nintendo wins.

They should make a smooth mccgroove rhythm game on the 3ds. You have to hit buttons to the beat of your favorite SNES game soundtracks.

Gahhh I want this game!! Damn Japanese people keeping a closed iron fist around their exclusive titles

If they released this physical version in the US I'd definitely buy it. I wanted to get the first one but not digital for $30 dollars.

She's got some pretty big cough eyes cough

America better get this, or else I'll burn NoA headquarters... burn it down to the gwound.

@brewsky I really wish that wasn't the new Nintendo thing. Just think of a clever sub title for the game. Other than that the gameplay has really gotten great looking with every update from Nintendo.

I'm still really confused on the story. Is it basically a remake? I watched the GameXplain video of the intro cutscene and it was hardly any different. Kamek is trying to steal the babies again and the stork keeps screwing up on taking them to the right home.

@GamerOZO I'm not sure Sony ever claimed it was going to fully become a streaming service. Especially since they haven't even figured out how successful it is. I think they'll wait and see what kind of profit it brings.

@Einherjar That is specifically why I think Nintendo is the only company that'll release another console after this generation, be it another home console or handheld/console combo. They are the latest to HD development, and despite the grievances we have with some of their business choices they are still alive and turning a profit on their games,not to mention they have a majority control on the handheld market. This may be hurting due to the casuals moving to mobile games, but it's still a valid business model that will make money for Nintendo. Wether or not they will continue being a gaming company remains to be seen, but what I do see in the future is console gaming changing to the point where it's not recognized by the previous generation gamers.

@CaviarMeths Hey man trust me, I don't want the Playstation brand to go anywhere, some of my favorite games of all time are on their platforms. Looking at it objectively, Sony is not in the greatest of places and I don't think the Playstation will be able to keep them a float.Their biggest source of revenue may not be electronics but it's definitely a business they have been struggling to keep their iron fist around and it is costing them a lot.

@CaviarMeths
Here is some of the articles on Sony:

As far as Microsoft goes, it's nothing but supported speculation right now, but here is the article:
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-division-s-new-boss-is-the-guy-who-reportedly-wanted-to-sell-it-off/1100-6417946/

I'm a firm believer that once Nintendo drops out of the race that console gaming will soon follow. Both Sony and Microsoft don't appear to be in it for much longer what with Sony being projected to have an 80% chance of being out of business within 5 years, and the new leader of the Xbox division showing pretty blatant interests in selling the brand. That'll be a sad day when gaming as we know it is gone.

In case you want a summary for these comments:

I like boobs and beat em' ups as much as the next guy but the gameplay looks kind of mediocre. Besides the fact that I can't get a physical copy here in the US. The anime is funny enough, albeit a lot of fan service going on. I'm alright with that though, show some maturity and not whine about it being sexist or disgusting people. It's another cultures form of entertainment, it's more of a form of comedy than it is sexual gratification. You don't have to watch it if you don't want it, but don't make people feel bad for enjoying it.

I'll never understand early adopters I swear, even for Nintendo systems. Sure the PS4 hardware is impressive, but there is hardly any worthwhile games for it, why buy it now? As far as spring goes Infamous: Second Son looks fun, Thief was pretty much a mediocre grey experience that disappointed fans, they are getting another MMO Final Fantasy port, the new Metal Gear Solid is a $30 dollar demo, Watch Dogs looks fun but that's not until summer. The launch titles were the worst of any system, arguably, in the new generation of consoles. I didn't buy the Wii U until it was bundled with a game and there was a price drop and at least 10 games on the console I wanted. I'll be waiting until some time later this year or early 2015 to get a PS4. Hopefully by then I can get it a bit cheaper.

Is dubstep really that popular now? I remember when this crap started in the 90's. Was a mediocre genre then, it's a mediocre genre now.

Despite that, I really think this game will be a redemption for Sega. The cartoon animation is looking impressive as well, and the game is looking awesome. All I hope is that Knuckles can still glide now that he is so huge

Good thing my 6 year old sister has a 3DS, I'm going to use her 3DS code and buy Yoshi's New Island free Pokemon X for me!

I like this idea a lot,combining Etrian Odyssey with the dark world of Persona and I'm super hyped for this game. The 3DS is becoming one of my favorite gaming systems; it's definitely up for best handheld IMO.

I actually kind of liked it. I'd try it for sure, and if they made it interesting enough maybe buy it?? That's a big maybe though.

Hell yeah!!! The 3DS is becoming an RPG machine! and Level 5 are great, one of the best Japanese companies in gaming right now. Especially since Capcom and Square Enix are so westernized, and keep pissing off their fans.

That's.... one way to market a game and get people interested to buy this..?

This was an awesome reveal, I think he may be my main.

I wish that America got this. Honestly why not? I don't understand sure some small groups of mothers would think it's filthy and wrong but people have been doing that since the creation of video games. Didn't stop anything else from coming here.

I'm no fan of region locking but I can see that it definitely saves Nintendo's bacon when they have no upcoming releases in Japan, NA, or Europe. All they have to do it localize it and boom, the fans get a new game they can buy.

@King_Johobo Who are you and why do you look exactly like me? :0

They should make a Pokemon game in the style of Animal Crossings. Essentially what the paradise was in Gates to Infinity but in a much grander scheme. You are the human mayor of a town of Pokemon, maybe you could be a new professor and study the friendship and social interactions of Pokemon when they live in a town built by you.

Then again maybe they should just make two separate titles, an Animal Crossings game and a new Pokemon game for the Wii U.

@gatorboi352 I love both the Wii U and the Dreamcast I think if Wii U sales don't increase and Nintendo does make a large incentive to bring back third party developers then it'll be even more niche than the Dreamcast. The dreamcast had the golden age Capcom fighters on it's system, that's something the Wii U certainly will never have. Then again Wii U has Nintendo's first party titles so they may be on even ground. I think Nintendo can easily turn this around and meet around Gamecube numbers if they just market the damn thing and listen to the fans about the games we want. They have the ability, which SEGA did not have.

I think the 3DS could come close to that number, especially if Nintendo keeps spoon feeding Japan all the special edition 3DS and 3DS XL's they get. or if they released the 2DS there.

@GunstarHero234 You clearly missed my point. Don't worry about it man, enjoy your games I'm glad you got all the consoles to enjoy the titles you want. Have a nice day.

@GunstarHero234 I'm not blaming you at all, I'm just saying there are people in very different financial situations than you, someone who has several consoles. Did you pay for all them, or did your parents? I'm a full-time student and I only have one console and one handheld current generation that I can afford to get maybe one or two games a month for. I still play my retro consoles but I don't have to pay for those any longer. All i'm saying is don't say it's people's fault and say they should go buy more crap, they may not have the money, and when a company says there is going to be a version of a game we can pre-order and expect to come out it's a huge disappointment when it doesn't. Your comments just are coming off snobby.

@GunstarHero234 Because everyone has enough money to buy more than one console right?? Were not all well employed, or swimming in our parent's cash. Be a little more understanding to people who may not be as well off as you.

Really happy I found this physically. Went to three targets, a Best Buy, finally found it at the second Gamestop I went to.

@SecondServing That's how I felt, it's not a game I'll come back to again and again. I appreciated it as another title for the Wii U though. I hope Sonic Boom lives up to the challenge, from what I've seen i'm excited. I'm being smart about it as well though, still hesitantly hyped though.

@SecondServing yes I read that part, you assumed that the Wii U version sold maybe 200,000 copies based on a very vague percentage. although over 50% means more than half, it's usually said when the real percentage is anywhere from 50-60%. Otherwise they would have said a different percentage if the gap was larger. 200,000 is about 31.5%, so logically they would have said the 3DS accounts for almost 70% of those sales. I'm not on damage control, I don't work for SEGA. I just believe the Wii U version was the stronger version and should be celebrated for making however much sales it has. Did you enjoy the Wii U version or 3DS?

@meppi Why exactly are you so keen to avoid this? I'm a Sonic fan to a lesser extent and can honestly say after all the ways they have spoiled this franchise with lackluster games and truly odd concepts, this is the best thing they can do. Sonic Team has always been criticized by Sonic's fans to do something better, give them what they want, and when new things are tried they usually fail because they try to hold on to old things about sonic while pushing forward. They have a new look, new true 3D platforming style gameplay, I am definitely interested.

You hardly know enough about the game, to call it an "abomination is quite dramatic and honestly childish. Things change, and change can be good.
