Nintenjoe64

Lord of the Rings Return of the King was good coop

I definitely agree with this list. This could have been called "The reasons Nintenjoe owned a MegaDrive".

At least we got Shadowrun and nearly every other great non-Sega game!

I've bought this but not played it yet. At least it won't be ruined by Nintendo's terrible button mapping

@Sonicfan11589 I'm not 100% sure now. I thought I did but I was so annoyed about having to use R instead of ZR I might be confusing using the classic controller with M64 or DK64.

@Sonicfan11589 you can play it with a classic controller.

This game is alright, the display options are OK but you can't customise the gamepad controls so ZR is always "VC Menu" when it is much nicer to play with ZR for drifting. To me it ruins the whole off-tv feature of this game. Hope they can update this.

I'm a bit disappointed by DK64 and MKDS. DK64 is funny but compared to 60Hz Mario it looks horrible. I hope Ocarina is the US version.

I don't know who the genius at Nintendo is who thinks ZR should be the options button. Is there a way to customise DS controls?

Are the N64 games rendered in a higher res? The polygons look less jagged than I thought they would on my 50" TV.

For the first time in months I can safely say that NA Wii U owners are missing out. We got 4 games in Europe! DK64 Mwhahahaha!

DK64 is already available

Project HAMMER isn't dead, it's just resting with dual gamepad support.

Will my saves carry over?

I have been doing one star a day on Mario 64 on the Wii Channel....

Anything that it not heard about + Starfox = a good Wii u direct

If Zelda U is another 10/10 then I am happy to feed off the scraps in the meantime. If the scraps include Starfox and any other HD remake from N64/GC era then I will be happy enough to not buy another console.

I liked one of the games on Amiga and then thought every single wrestling game (that I played) up to PS2/GC era was atrocious. I haven't played one since Def Jam Vendetta but I actually quite liked that.

I think this was pretty much a given considering the delays with every other less important game

All I see when I read the title of this piece is 'Splatoon is a shooter with weapons'

I'm excited for this but would have preferred just plain old Miis instead of what we're getting.

Not every film Adam Sandler has starred in has been terrible so this film could be good but I will keep my expectations nice and low!.

If they had just been teasing a new piece of hardware their shares would have taken a battering!

They had me at 'next Nintendo console'.

I don't really care as long as they give me a few more games after Zelda for my Wii U and open up the Wii VC for gamepad play (which they already confirmed will happened for some Wii games but they were probably lying).

I liked the "Nintendo Fusion" rumours that did the rounds. I would prefer a complementary handheld and console than two completely separate systems. I think the Wii U would have been much better as a powerful standalone console that could tether with a 3DS to make games like Nintendoland. They've teased us with the feature since the GBA/GC days.

It's a shame that NX in 2017 will probably be 2019. I hope Nintendo make so much F2P money that they can afford treat their loyal servants to a proper gaming machine like the good old days! I want a console that does more for gaming than the N64 did!

This is different to anything Sega did during its demise. If Sega had the option to publish their back catalogue on hardware with a billion users they might still be able to make consoles (and good sonic games?). I don't think it's a misstep if they make sure their iOS games are sufficiently different. All I need is Advance Wars

It wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo limited their smartphone output to some horrible Nintendo branded freemium clones. Fire Emblem or Advance Wars on iPhone would be nice.

There's plenty of good reasons for this and many other Nintendo games to not be online but in 2015 they should at least be thinking of adding an online mode that's tweaked to suit online multiplayer.

Mario Kart is great and deserves awards but it can't win them all and the game is barely advertised in UK so it doesn't surprise me the judges didn't vote for it. I think Titanfall was a more fun new game than Destiny but everyone would complain even more if that had won. If they were realistic about the most loved games in UK then FIFA, Football Manager, Bejewelled Clone 35 and F2P collectathon would probably win every year.

Right I am off to play Mario Kart

Glad to see SNES still reigns supreme.

I love how everyone thinks they know who actually makes the decisions at Nintendo. It might seem like Iwata but I reckon it's a bunch of manatees. At the very least I think the lack of hardware power is a combination of people within Nintendo who veto anything they don't like the sound of rather than Iwata being the driving force behind making weak consoles.

I'd like to seem him go though because their hardware isn't as good as it should be, they sit on good IP, milk the mediocre stuff and refuse to market anything properly.

Maybe he was just too embarrassed to admit he wanted a Wii U...?

I loved XC. Can't wait for this. I wish they'd plugged the wait with Xenoblade HD a year or so ago.

Nintendo's reluctance to go digital should make them popular with high street retailers but they don't show much love in return.

@Folkloner keep up the good Miiverse work!

Still need to finish the first GBA one. Too many games

Hope they do a Wii U version of this, Advance Wars and Batallion Wars before the Wii U goes to unpopular console heaven. SMT vs FE seems to have died.

'Unprecedented stability' on Wii U updates pretty much means 'crashes even more with 3rd party games' as far as mine is concerned.

Nintendo should release Pikmin 1 & 2 as DLC for Pikmin 3.

Pretty much all of the first party games from N64 and Gamecube would be welcome remakes for me on either console but I'd prefer they just made new versions or ultimate versions like F-Zero X + GX online and the same with Waverace, 1080 and Pilotwings

or perhaps Amiga classic: Body Blows

I rented the main ones for their respective consoles back in the day and they never lived up to MK2 or SF2. I'm not good enough at any of my other current fighting games to warrant buying another one yet!

I wonder if we get a Rise of the Robots or Tuff E Nuff remake next!

I don't think I will be visiting the eshop until Nintendo have released a Wii game with added Wii U gamepad controls. I would like to think that as soon as they can do that, they can open the whole Wii shopping channel.

This isn't the worst week by a long shot but it's not good.

I think Trine 2 is still the best (and probably best looking) 2D platformer on Wii U. (not including VC games)

I don't think this is trolling. It's giving Amiibo fans a way to buy them.

There's no Amiibo on display anywhere in any of my local game shops but I saw a draw full of them when I cleared out the GAME bargain bin the other day. (GAME in Bromley)

I'm really feeling it

I don't own any Amiibo but I really wanted a metal one.

They need to do a Club Nintendo Amiibo as a grand finale for the stars catalogue. There's nothing good to spend my 5900 stars on at present. Nintendo know there are loads of fans missing out on Amiibo and a 4000 point limited edition one would be a fantastic gift to the people that are still supporting them.

My vote would be Raymond Bryce, Captain Rainbow or Doshin the Giant

Even Nintendo hate Wii U and show utter contempt for its users. Probably more so than EA.

@kirk one day before production begins would not be an almost complete game.

This era of gaming will be remembered as 'The Flappening'

my one drives on the ceiling and costs £12

I might go super retro and make a game for the Master System on a card instead of a cart.

Only Nintendo could come up with such an easy way to make money and then not take advantage of it.

Having said that, my local GAME appears to have most Amiibo in stock!

I'm glad there's no western release date yet. I already have a 20+ game backlog on Wii U

ACIV is the best £9.99 I've spent on eshop. It's almost the perfect pirate game. I think Ubi are a little bit mean towards Wii U but most of their games sold and reviewed appallingly so I don't hate them for not wanting to support the Wii U.

I have yet to see a Wii U in any UK supermarket. I would be buying everyone I know Wii Us for these prices

Give me a new HotD Overkill instead please

I hope Europe gets something similar.

They'll have a tough time making a more catchy tune than Colony 9's music

I'd given up on this one. This and Project Cars will be my racing for the year
