So no actual news here? Man the entire week, and last week nothing but rumors, and now news that everyone has known for years...September needs to come faster.

@rjejr LOL that is awesome. I wish I would have kept my old atari, NES, and OG Sega Genesis so my kids can see how us cavemen played games.

Man that Compaq Pressario brings back memories too. I had my log on sound, the music that plays after you log in, play a sound bite from star wars where Luke exclaims "What a piece of junk!".

Love the rumor train. Still not gonna react until I hear something official. Otherwise we'll start believing everything:

You know its slow a news week at NintendoLife when...

September 30th!? Might as well just call it October

So we're all going to ignore the talking dog?

Call me when there is actual news.

@SeaSalty You didn't hear? The official name will be the Wii U2

Booo! The one game I've been looking forward to for the longest time...

@AlexOlney PRO TIPS!!

Pretty much every 3D sonic game has been bad. I'm going to look to history to help me save money.

I feel sad for the blue speedster...sega should just send him out to pasture

I never understood how some people never bother to check out a free game, or demo. I like demos personally, but they are a double edge sword, for both the devs, and the customer. I know that devs usually lose money on making demos, and it doesn't noticeably add to more sales.

However, for some (like me), it is the only way I can take a real chance on a game that I may have a fleeting interest in. If not for the Dual Destinies demo, I'd never would have bought Ace Attorney. Demos have also saved many of us from some God awful games.

Its not great, and its not terrible. Its one of those games that helps you kill time, which some might find fun.

@rushiosan Yea they need to fix those servers. Online battling was pretty bad, but I do like the fail safe of having bot join your game if one or all of the other people drop.

I played, not terrible, but the mario & sonic olympics demo is, surprisingly, more interesting.

Sad when the only thing I have to look forward to is the demo of Mario & Sonic. Then again if its as bad as some claim then I'll have more money for September.

@GARF13LD I'm with you still waiting on this game. I won't buy unlimited because I know as soon as I do, they will release this one.

Skunk software stinking it up again.

@TossedLlama Ooh I remember that game. Was two undercover cops. Driver had to, both, drive and shoot, and player 2 had to just shoot right?

EDIT: LOL Found it: Lucky & Wild. Was crazy fun.

@Ethan_Bricknell Illuminati confirmed?

What!? Games from "Skunk" software stink you say?

@shadowharold Thought that was through the cart only, and that the eshop version was patched

@Anti-Matter You win the internet sir or madam.

@JaxonH Yea I get that the game is time investment, but it just wasn't anything appealing. A lot of the same mechanics (i.e. armor/weapon crafting and enhancements) are the same as most MMOs out there.

So its nothing really mind blowing for me in that regard. I think the genre just doesn't do it for me anymore like it used to when I was younger.

@seb5049 They were still testing the servers likely. People downloading it outside of the the intended territories hampered it. Can't complain about the company not being ready when they were, just not ready for exploitation from outside certain areas.

Although this did help test them in a way they hadn't anticipated so now they know what they have in store. I think a better idea would be to extend the closed beta, and lock out anyone not from the intended regions.

@Xjay And over a year later, I'd say yes. I just picked it up myself, not having played any of the DS games. Now I've gotten the PL vs. PW as well since I'm a fan of the Ace Attorney series. I'll probably pick up the other Layton game on 3DS as well.

@KIREEK I'm with you on that couldn't get into Monster Hunter series, even after countless demo attempts. Probably due to me playing too many MMO's in my youth. Stories on the the hand already has me interested enough that its a no-brainer, day one purchase.

@Kirk But it wasn't a worldwide launch it was a test. People couldn't wait patiently for it to be rolled out. Can't blame the company for people acting impulsively. On the same note though they should have opted for a closed beta testing in those regions, there would have been some leaks, but not as many as there were in this instance.

Why is there is no option for never bought an amiibo ever

I literally threw money at the screen for three minutes.

@Oubie What!? No interest in Shakedown Hawaii?

@JaxonH I'm with you. This may be the one game that makes me regret not modding my 3DS, if it doesn't come to the west...well this and TGS, both capcom games go figure

All they need to do now is release a demo for Europe to offset the wait.

@rjejr That's the thing that's troubling. Hardly any Nintendo IP goes on sale so soon. With the lack of a solid single player, or couch multiplayer. I wonder if this is a sign that the servers are gonna be coming down sooner rather than later. Then again it could be me being paranoid, and it means nothing...excuse me while I readjust my tin foil hat.

@readyletsgo No its coming here, he was referencing an earlier article that said it wasn't coming, but another article that came later refuted it. Now "When" its coming to Europe that's whole other can of worms.

What?! No one is interested in Shakedown Hawaii?

Is it sad that I'd settle for a pencil stamped "Nintendo" than the offers they've given us so far?

So many other games we want you to review, I'm sure no one was thinking of picking this up.

I'll pick it up when I clear my backlog or it goes on sale, whichever comes first.

Nintendo dodge a bullet, other than the up coming Sea of Thieves, Golden Eye, and Perfect Dark for the 64 they haven't done anything noteworthy for 20 years.

I wanted to like it, but after seeing that, I'll likely pass.

@Al_Godoy 100% Agree, probably the least talked about game in terms of the Gamepad's utilization and just overall fun. Made the game immersive, and just fun as ever, same goes for ZombiU, and a few others.
Other games that used it as a map were useful and very helpful, Mass Effect 3, and AC: 3 and 4 come to mind. The off tv play is nice too. Sadly the vast majority of games seemed to take the lazy route and just use it as a second screen, which is not the gamepad's fault.

The biggest gripe has to be the battery life, if had half or even a fourth of the pro controller's battery life, without having to buy an extra battery, I'd have zero complaints.

The wait for the review is real!

@Moon There is a Mega Man 7 joke in there somewhere.

Rhythm Heaven Megameh. I might pick it up, probably won't unless it on sale which isn't likely being a new release

So a new professor layton without professor layton?

Great game, reason I like Wii U above all else: couch co-op. Froze one me one time, and found a glitch with retrieving my daughters bot earlier. Other than that it runs smooth and its a fun fun game.

And here I thought that all this time it was just a "game".

I got the same feeling after the director of fantastic four tweeted something similar

This should hold me over until RIVE arrives.
