Axelay will be great. Glad to see Nintendo will be adding more games to the eshop and not just bringing over Wii VC games.

@BinaryFragger Thanx for clearing that up. I was wondering about some of those tracks.

He's a pretty funny character in Hyrule Warriors.

I might pick this up. Don't have the original and Star Fox 64 is the only flight game I got on my 3DS. Screen shots look great. It's pretty impressive what the 3DS is capable of. Ever since Resident Evil Revelations I've made it a point not to underestimate the games on it, considering the games usually end up looking better in person than in the screen shots.

Looking forward to this. Hyrule Warriors has turned out to be a much better experience than I anticipated. The biggest challenge is making the time to experience all the content it offers. I can't believe they're raising the level cap again!

Waiting for summer. Best time to have a handheld and keep the consoles off since they tend to put out some heat.

Four year is pretty long for working on a game. It'll be interesting to see the final product.

What would a new Metroid game be about? Isn't Fusion the latest in the series? So any game after that would have Samus with the fusion suit I would think unless they figured out how to remove it which I thought they stated was impossible in Fusion. There's actually been quite a few installments in Metroid. They really should do a Metroid 2 remake for 3DS but I'm afraid we may never see it now since home brewers took it upon themselves to do such. It's too bad too because Nintendo would make a better version.

This is a great series. Wish I had played these games when they were first releasing.

Good news.

Hyrule Warriors is definitely a plus. Next week we get Breath of Fire so I'm going to have plenty to do this month. Good to see retro games are still going strong. I hope Nintendo can cover everything that doesn't require multiple patents. Crossing my fingers for Lolo 3 someday.

I hope they bring Pikmin 2. That game was re released on Wii with new play control and the price only went up very shortly afterwards. Am not a fan of the retail marketing.

@rjejr That's a pretty good theory. It would be odd if Nintendo didn't release the smaller version at all.

Looks like the information is accurate. Awesome Nintendo Direct! I'm definitely picking up Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii U!

First thing that crossed my mind was Friday the 13th. Checked my calender and sure enough it's on Friday the 13th. A bad joke?

Someday.....but all is not bad, after all we are getting titles that never appeared on the original Wii Virtual Console. My guess is Nintendo won't release them all at once because they'd rather have a consistent income instead of one big lump sum. It's like a game of cards and you gotta play the ones that fit the situation. And to think....Nintendo used to make cards!

Nice video. I'd love to be able to get a limited edition. If I could only make one request, though, it would be for a launch with no stock shortage.

I'd rather see a sequel to Azura Striker Gunvolt as I was surprised how much I enjoyed it.

Both Zelda and Starfox but I also hope for a surprise Metroid game to pop in at some point.

Others are saying this so I'll add my vote to it as well. Please release all possible Virtual Console games. I realize some won't see the light of day due to trademarks but there are plenty that can be. I might represent a small majority but I'd love to see The Adventures of Lolo 3 released. Why did they release 1 and 2 but not 3? It is nice we've gotten some games that would be expensive to get on Ebay (Megaman 7, Demon's Crest, Megaman X3) but please don't leave others out. E.V.O., Lufia 1 and 2, Illusion of Gaia, I just wish Nintendo would release the entire library all at once. I just don't see the point in waiting anymore as the Virtual Console was established back when the Wii launched.

@Quorthon I can't argue and I don't really have a vivid idea of what goes on behind the scenes. I like to think that all the big wigs at Nintendo play a part in these games coming together. I'm sure just one game could keep a guy busy all day. Still, since Mr. Miyamoto is putting together Star Fox, I think it'd be cool to find out he also developed a shooting stage in Metriod just to see the gameplay advance even further than Prime 3. It could be happening. We won't know until these products release.

I hope all Mr. Miyamoto is saying is that he's so busy between Star Fox, some Zelda input, and a lot of Metriod production that he's just too busy to oversee a new Mario game. Especially the Metriod part, I heard they're making two of them. One in the 2D fashion and the other like Metriod Prime. Maybe things will go smoother than expected and we can still see a new Mario adventure before the end of the Wii U.

I am still doing raid mode on Resident Evil Revelation after all of these months. EVERY DAY! It just keeps going and going. Man, I really like that game. I think I'm at 260 hours or something. And there are people online that have there game time MAXED OUT at 999 hours! It's insane! Whoever said the Wii U didn't have mature content or they couldn't find anything to do sure didn't look hard enough....

I agree with many of these comments.

I, for one, love Dragon Quest and although I'm not disappointed in VII not making it here(it just might be my least favorite next to IX), I just might cry if this doesn't make it.

I love Dragon Quest but I'd rather see something like DQVIII remastered for the Wii U. Even getting the original trilogy released outside Japan would be great. I can't complain though. I heard there's going to be a Dragon Quest game done like Dynasty Warriors. If it doesn't make it overseas then I'll be importing it.

The pin connectors are actually pretty easy to fix. Just take it out and bend the pins inward and it'll work again. I'd go for something like this but I'd rather just get the model 2 NES modded for RGB.

Sonic just has a crazy history. Why oh why did Sega not make a 32 bit Sonic game on the Saturn? Considering how well the 16 bit games were, it surely would have rocked. Sure, Sony was doing great things with the Playstation but Sega should have focused on their systems strengths instead of trying to follow Sony's game designs when the Saturn just wasn't made to push that many polygons. As for what's happening with Sonic now, it's hard for me to say. I haven't even tried all the Sonic games up to this point so I really didn't need a new one anytime soon but I wish they wouldn't create another version of him. Mario isn't sporting new gear or a face lift. What if Nintendo suddenly made Mario skinny and Luigi fat?! LOL!

I liked the Majora's Mask theory. Please don't hate me...

If by surprises they mean DLC characters, I hope they're able to add Dr. Wily in his ship.

I just hope to see some new Metroid, Zelda, Star Fox games. Nintendo still has some great stuff it can bring to the plate.

I'll be picking up Samus and crossing my fingers that a new Metriod game will take advantage of it in the future. I might do the same with Megaman but my moneys on Samus actually having more than one game for use. Prove me wrong Capcom, I beg of you!

So very happy. This game is fairly expensive on ebay.

@Peach64 My mistake. The contrast ratio is just fairly impressive and I suppose that just made me think OLED. That and the battery life I suppose. What can I say, LED technology has advanced over the years. As for Japan's market being too small for Nintendo, I'm sure no market is too small for Nintendo. They know how to turn a profit and that's all that counts. These video game companies make more than video games. Clothes, toys, heck I just recently bought an umbrella from Capcom.

Loki is annoying. "Try to keep up". and "not that way" are the things I've had to hear him say way too much. This game has better gameplay and better visuals but having Loki tag along in areas makes it feel less fun than the original. That and I thought the original was funny with a little bit of seriousness thrown in while the sequel is serious with very little funny thrown in at all.

Of course Microsoft is cutting it's price. They aren't offering anything better than Sony and now more than ever the machines are almost the same except Sony's is more powerful. Even though people still mock the Wii U and it's controller, it's still quite a deal for a decently powerful machine and a OLED gamepad. Nintendo should keep the price where it's at for the sake of the quality they deliver. Maybe I'm wrong but OLED technology hasn't dropped in value, has it? As long as it sells well in Japan, why should it matter? They're a Japanese company after all and those sells should be first priority. If Americans don't want to jump on the bandwagon then so what.

Dig. It. All.

Is Toad a playable character? Hey, how about Toad? Or Mike from Startropics. Yeah, I know a lot of people probably don't think of that game but it was made by Nintendo and that yo-yo would be a cool weapon.

I'm buying Gargoyles Quest 2. TWICE!! I love Halloween!!

Freakin sweet!!! I was hoping this would happen someday. Though I live in NA, it's bound to be released here as well.

When it comes to collecting older games I'm really only interested in the stuff that's not going digital. I don't know, I just don't understand why people value some of the older games higher than the digital versions. Except the gold Zelda cartridges. Those are really cool. But Megaman 7 still $100? Come on guys, why? It's on the Wii U now and there is no benefit to playing it on the SNES.

I'd gladly trade the Castlvania releases for the Gargoyles Quest 2 and Mighty Final Fight that Europe got. Hopefully we'll get those in time for Halloween. The Gameboy Advance Castlevania games are pretty great though. Aria of Sorrow was especially interesting as you get to absorb the souls of the monsters you destroy. Still, I'd rather jump into Gargoyles Quest 2 and Demon's Crest.

Fantastic demo! It's got me feeling good about the game. Solid frame rate even when squaring off with the dragon scaling the tower. This titles going to rule!

Darkstalkers rocks man! More people should be into that series. Granted, I'm sure some have the previous releases and didn't bother with resurrection but it's still a quality download and doesn't cost much either. I really prefer the PSP version but it's too bad it can't be played with an arcade stick. All in all, you can't go wrong with perfect arcade ports even if it wasn't the best version. They all rock anyways.

The numbers may be low for Bayonetta 2 but at least the game was made. I had a blast playing through the first and I'll be picking up the sequel along with the first one on the eshop at midnight launch. Being launched around the same time as Smash Bros. could explain the numbers but I'm glad it's here for Halloween. Very appropriate timing indeed.

Maybe it just costs more money to patch games on Nintendo's network. If that's the case, Ubisoft would be looking at a bad move releasing it on the Wii U. They'll be patching their game at least three times before half of the issues are sorted. That would also explain why the DLC isn't coming for Watch Dogs. It's all about the money.

I hope this is just Nintendo hinting that Superscope games will be released. Battle Clash and Metal Combat were fantastic.

@xj220_afiles That's a great point and I hope someday we do get the Saturn games in VC form. Megaman X4, Megaman 8 (you gotta admit Nintendo deserves that), the Panzer Dragoon series. Man, I hope it happens someday.

Man, I really wanted Gargoyles Quest 2 or Demon's Crest. Castlevania still has the October/Halloween spirit but I think I might jump on Hyrule Warriors and try out that Dark Link character.

Angry people need to get a clue.
