@SecondServing What? Half of 640,000 is not 200,000. It's 320,000. Honestly for this game, which has many flaws, was very enjoyable and Deserves the number it has. I wouldn't be surprised if the Wii U version sold more since it played much better than the 3DS one.

@Kaze_Memaryu So a fairly obscure pun of one character's name is going to keep you from buying this game? It's probably intentional for his name to be like that. You should lighten up if that's how you feel it looks like a fun game

Also the word stereotype is incorrectly used there, the choice of his name being close to the german word for clumsy and his character actually being a klutz would be called "ironic".

Please..PLEASE don't screw this game up. I'm genuinely excited about multiple playable characters again, the character styles are looking great, it looks more open world and explorable, but I can't take another sub-par game starring Sonic. Lost World was was fun, but somewhat lackluster. I'm really hesitantly hyped for this game.

Ahhh Spring. The season will be here soon, where we can see all the little indie games dancing amongst the flowers in the meadows.

@Yasume Well they are contractually obligated to make it exclusive. Doesn't really matter anyway since almost every 3D Sonic game after Adventure 2 Battle has had negative reception and relatively poor sales. Sega themselves said Sonic sells best on Nintendo. The Wii U's install base is what is hurting sales right now, and Sonic isn't going to sell those systems, especially with unjustified negative reviews for Lost World.

@WaveBoy Just busting some chops there friend I haven't been 12 in 9 years! I do agree it wouldn't make anyone want the game if they hadn't been paying attention to all the gameplay videos being released over the holiday season. Nintendo definitely should be making commercials for every 1st party title as if it was game of the year material. I don't understand why they don't since they are the only video game business with characters over 20 years old that are still relevant.

@WaveBoy Have you thought you might not be as excited by it because you have become jaded in your old age?

In all seriousness, this is a decent commercial. It could be better. As long as they put in on television I'll be happy. They really should try to make their commercials appeal to more than just family gamers.

Anybody know how we will find out if we won?

This is awesome. I hope his final smash is his mega-evolution.

@boynerdrambling Well seeing as Nintendo is the only dedicated gaming company of the three, I would say the comparison isn't really valid. Sony's other "revenue streams" are also doing rather poorly, seeing as they have roughly an 80% chance of going bankrupt in two years. I'd say people are worried about Nintendo becoming something other than a video game company. I don't want any more gimmicks, I just want some quality titles on a decent system. This speaks to me as if they are going in a different direction which I don't know if it'll be successful or not, but I believe it'll hurt Nintendo. Their casual market is drying up fast, I think Nintendo should be looking to attracting the dedicated gaming market once again. I hope they do something soon.

I know! How about you market a console with an actual series of commercials, and make a system with must have games? Seriously Iwata I want to know what the new Wii U game plan is in 2014. Not your next gimmick to keep yourself different. The casual market from the Wii is gone! just face facts, they aren't coming back. you need to focus on attracting the gamer to your hardware, not this junk. Wii Fit is a fad, and it's a slowly fading fad. I wish that they would just focus on increasing third party support and maybe working on a more attractive system to release in 2017. I am perfectly fine jogging to be fit, not lying to myself and pretending to do some hula hoops without going into the damn sunlight. that's just a embarrassing and a sad idea that I don't want pursued.

I love the gamepad, it's a great little addition that I think is fun enough with it's limited use in games so far, I like the off tv play and map in front of me at all times. That being said, I voted yes because I think the gamepad should be an optional purchase. Most gamers just want a typical controller, I think they should just bundle the wii u with a pro controller, distance the wii mote by just using it in party-esque games or as an controller scheme to be used by the people that enjoy it. I don't like wiimotes at all, I think it's a god awful controller and that's the reason I didn't enjoy the wii as much as the GameCube. I think nintendo should focus on the games and not the controller gimmicks to make them different. Use the games to differentiate yourself from the competition. I am perfectly happy with the gamepad, but either implement it more efficiently or get sell it as an add on, lower the price and throw in a pro controller.

Is there any chance that this will come to America in a physical release? I started reading the manga and I'm actually enjoying it. Make it happen Nintendo, not all of us 'muricans are prudes afraid of cartoon boobs!

This man is the ultimate hipster, and I don't know if that's a good thing.

@navonod18 No I haven't, I really don't enjoy having to buy extras to play one game. I only tried the demo and really didn't enjoy it. I hope Nintendo's next handheld console has dual circle pads.

Even I had that kind of money... just no, never would I buy that for that price.

Personally I'd rather have it on Wii U. I didn't enjoy the controls as much on the 3DS.

Is there any chance this could make it to US?

@Baum897 Yeah even so the inclusion of Rambi is enough for me to assume the other buddies will be back, especially since water levels are back as well so I'm sure we will see Enguarde. Even if I don't I'm not going to be mad haha it already looked like a great game.

This was the last thing I needed to know to ensure my day one purchase. I wanted the animal friends back so bad! Looks great.

@MrWalkieTalkie Oh well I just found it funny the day before they posted that exact .gif with regarding this news and making the same joke. Must have been a funny coincidence.

@MrWalkieTalkie Somebody likes to go to WiiUDaily and steal jokes LOL. Honestly I think that was planned. A lot of celebrity's do the quirky no smile thing to come as neurotic and weird. Look at every photo Michael Cera takes haha

@JaxonH Yeah, the game started hitting it's stride once I started building the Great Jaggi armor. The obscene amount of items is a little daunting and quite annoying to be honest. Any advice for a newcomer?

I'll be playing Pikmin 3, I have a pretty sizeable Wii U and 3DS collection now because of christmas so I'll also be playing Pokemon Y, Rune Factory 4, Super Mario 3D World, and try once again to get back into Monster Hunters 3 Ultimate.

Judging from the comment section I think everyone who visits this site thinks they are analysts, CEO's, and much more capable of running a company. I think as gamers we have our opinions of what would be better and a lot of what I see makes sense and Nintendo and all the gaming companies could head our advice and get a little more consumer input, but we have no idea what running a company like that details. It's pretty crazy any of you think otherwise.

I love that everyone here immediately becomes the most intelligent and well versed business analyst who knows exactly what Nintendo should do to make the Wii U a success when an article about sales pops up. Maybe you guys should apply for Iwata's job! In all seriousness no, I don't think Iwata should resign, not in the middle of a console generation. Sales have improved during the holidays. Just bring out good games and the Wii U shale survive, albeit not as successful as the wii. That's just my opinion though, I don't know anything about running a billion dollar company, none of us do. I just play video games.

I think a tear came to my eye. It's everything a commercial should be

If you look right at the door way in the background as Link uses the firestaff, you can see Zelda.... possible 2nd playable character???

@Stubborn_Monkey He is actually the producer if I recall from the direct. You certainly live up to your name! Have some faith, it'll be fun, won't break the nostalgia hold of the first game but still fun!

Loving the negativity from people right from the start. Give the game a chance people, we don't even know anything about it yet.

Honestly? This game looks awesome. Sure they could have made it a new IP, but then Nintendo haters would have called it a Tecmo DW ripoff. With this crossover people can get a mindless beat em up starring the most famous adventurer in video games. I've wanted another way to play as link since his appearance in Soul Caliber on the gamecube. The graphics just need to be pushed a little, but to who called it a reskinned PS2 game should really go turn on their PS2. this pretty much looks better than most on that platform and I still play that daily.

I got an order in the day they came out, and they are still back logged. How long does it usually take for something from Club Nintendo? First time I decided to get something.

@MadAussieBloke What download vouchers do you have? You are just giving them away?

So I'm trying to get the whole gimmick of this game, is there actually any nudity? Would be pretty damn embarrassing to have my girlfriend look over my shoulder on the couch and see me looking at some bouncing cartoon breasts... Other than that looks decent but I'm not sure I'd pay $30 for it.

The very idea that Chrono Trigger is attached to Assassin's Creed is pretty mind baffling to me. Not a huge fan of that series. That being said this is still pretty cool.

Is there any chance that this could come to America?!?! I mean come on Nintendo you are coasting on a tidal wave 3DS money right now, bring that system out here that's the best looking Limited Edition XL I've seen so far.

@8BitSamurai Do they need to make a Nintendo Menorah??

@X-Factor I don't know if you are in America but Best Buy is taking pre orders for it.

@X-Factor Me too!!! New Super Mario Bros. +New Super Luigi U Bundle Man!!!

@Drop-Dead-Fred Oh damn you are right, The site I read that from got it completely wrong haha that's unfortunate. Well I'll be waiting for that one, but hopefully we both will be enjoying Monolith's X around the same time.

@Drop-Dead-Fred Wow I didn't realize you guys had not gotten SMT IV yet, That really sucks I'm loving that game I picked up the limited edition with art booklet too. Yeah you guys only have less than two weeks, we aren't getting that one until December 6th in the US.

@Drop-Dead-Fred If you are looking for a good RPG on the 3DS and you like dungeon crawling I'd say get either Shin Megami Tensei IV or Etrian Odyssey: The Millennium Girl. Both brilliant games that have been holding me to my 3DS for some time now.
