Add into that their official Twitter feed (@bittrip) about 5 minutes ago. "What Wii U features would you like to see on the OFF CHANCE that we bring Runner2 to the platform?"
I can understand them not selling TLS as at the end of the day it's a Wii JPRPG which in all honestly won't light the charts on fire (great game though). The Tekken thing didn't surprise me as their focus has been on Vita for the past month however this is a strange move.
Firstly Mario Party is one of those games that always sells, heck they still have MP8 on their shelves and that's saying something.
ME3 will be one of the biggest sellers of the year and definitely quarter 1, for the biggest gaming retail chain not to sell this is madness.
I like the changes, they actually make it overall better. I particular like the easier to navigate bars and the the comments about the author and hope they change week by week.
I hope they sort the camera out for Epic Mickey 2. I wanted to like Epic Micke but there were far too many flaws in the game. Still had some cracking moments though.
I think it's great for a new era of fans, it's been 15 years to the day since the NA release of the console and most of the games are looking dated. Remaking them for the 3DS will A) open it to a new era of fans and B) allow people to replay the games without terrible graphics/cameras.
That is weird that they just released the press release as it's been slated as that from when I first read about the release dates. Hopefully the US have better stock than the UK (Just GAME and Gamestation sold it and it was sold out within three weeks). I resorted to ebay, sad times.
Ask 10 people to choose one aspect they want in a game series and I'm pretty sure you'll get 10 different answers. That's why fans shouldn't make the call.
You're losing faith because three obscure JPRPGs are not getting released in America yet stuck with them through the delayed SMB3, the non existent Earthbound series, heck it took 12 years for Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger to arrive over here.
I'm with the Little Kings Story/Red Steel 2 comment. As I keep pointting out there are a ton of games have underperformed (with and without Nintendo support).
I did note on Twitter yesterday that it would have been a great idea to offer the game to the Gold/Platnium users and then Nintendo would appeal to the so called loyal Nintendo fans who are threatening boycots of the WiiU.

I was wrong.

Re: E3 2012: Watch Ubisoft's Wii U Games Live Right Here
I think we may see Rayman.

Re: Nintendo Teases Wii U Launch Line-Up
You think this is Mother 4: wrong (33)

I got the black one from Asda.
Re: Wii Pikmin 2 Hits North America on 10th June for $19.99
@3DSLUIGI In Europe we've had it since April of 2009.
Re: Wii Pikmin 2 Hits North America on 10th June for $19.99
Well done Operation Dolphinfall it only took three years to get the game but I am so proud of you =)
Re: Mario's Presence in UK is 'Smallest in the World'
You'd think the UK's main game seller had stopped selling NIntendo games or something this quarter.
Re: Panini to Sell Kid Icarus: Uprising AR Cards in European Stores
Chances are they will be £1 for 6 cards as that's what was mentioned in the survey for the game.
Re: Club Nintendo Europe Gives Coins for JRPG Trilogy
@Mk_II You need to register all three.

Re: Feature: Our Favourite 3DS Games so Far
I would add Ghost Recon in there, a very nice tactical game that is pretty enjoyable.
Re: Junction Point Holding "Epic" Event on 27th March
Epic Mickey had so much more potential than it delivered. Hopefully it sorts the camera out because that ruined an otherwise great game.
Re: GAME Not Selling Mario Party 9

All in all good work.
Re: 3DS Software Struggles in UK Charts
Also the prices, it's good dropping the console price down but if it's still £35 for MK7 in GAME then that will put people off.
Re: Talking Point: When StreetPass Reunites Old Friends
This is a better story than the April fools one last year of the woman who found out her husband was having an affair due to streepass.
Re: Disney Newsletter Accidentally Outs Epic Mickey 2
I hope they sort the camera out for Epic Mickey 2. I wanted to like Epic Micke but there were far too many flaws in the game. Still had some cracking moments though.
Re: Review: Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)
I hate to be 'That guy' but Mario & Sonic at the olympic games was out before Brawl.
Re: Nintendo Reacts to PETA's Tanooki Campaign
Anyone want to buy a penguin suit? The must be pretty small, and don't even think about riding on a dinosaur to come and collect it.
Re: Feature: The History of Nintendo Volume 1 Book Review
You should check out "Super Mario: How Nintendo conquered America" that's a pretty good read.
Re: Get the Job You Always Wanted in Fantasy Life for 3DS
No tech support advisor in a call centre? Rubbish!
Re: Two More Super Mario 3D Land Trailers for You
The more I see of this game, the more I love it. Roll on 18th November, two big games on the same day
Re: Talking Point: The Role of the N64 on the 3DS

Re: Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 Release Dates Confirmed
Hey lets release our mario 3DS game on the same day as our Zelda Wii game.
Though we're going to need a new cameraman...
Re: Solatorobo Goes Gold, Gets NA Release Date
I didn't realise it was DSi enhanced (despite having the game). Ach well. Go buy the game on release.
Re: Solatorobo Goes Gold, Gets NA Release Date
@Mikau94 the DS is region locked so it doesn't matter and in the UK it was only available in Game and Gamestation.
Re: The History of Nintendo Book Gets English Release
@Pix_n_Love FP, HMV and Travelling man didn't have it in nor is it listed on their site. Sad times.
Re: Solatorobo Goes Gold, Gets NA Release Date
That is weird that they just released the press release as it's been slated as that from when I first read about the release dates. Hopefully the US have better stock than the UK (Just GAME and Gamestation sold it and it was sold out within three weeks). I resorted to ebay, sad times.
Re: The History of Nintendo Book Gets English Release
@Pix_n_Love so when does the book hit shelves?
Re: Site News: A Better Nintendo Life
Congratulations that's great news
Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Limited Edition Details

Re: Square Enix's Final Fantasy 3DS Game is a Little Off-Beat
Checks date, not April. Quite bewildered by this to be honest.
Re: 3DS Could Be Your Ticket to International Museums
That's pretty cool actually. Nice little idea =)
Re: Nintendo Faces Lawsuit Over 3DS Screen Patent Infringement
I love how they only realise this thre emonths after release rather than a year and a half ago when it was announced.
Re: Localisation Evidence Grows as Pandora's Tower Demoed at Expo
I hope so, I've been following this game and it looks amazing.
Re: Talking Point: The Growing Storm of Operation Rainfall
You're losing faith because three obscure JPRPGs are not getting released in America yet stuck with them through the delayed SMB3, the non existent Earthbound series, heck it took 12 years for Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger to arrive over here.
Re: Talking Point: The Growing Storm of Operation Rainfall
I'm with the Little Kings Story/Red Steel 2 comment. As I keep pointting out there are a ton of games have underperformed (with and without Nintendo support).
I did note on Twitter yesterday that it would have been a great idea to offer the game to the Gold/Platnium users and then Nintendo would appeal to the so called loyal Nintendo fans who are threatening boycots of the WiiU.
Re: Nintendo Invests 16 Billion Yen in Kyoto R&D Building
@Skotsi
