I know I'm going to get that bundle. That controller is just too awesome to pass up!

SO happy!

I'm very excited for Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.

Even though "Lyric" doesn't sound the least bit intimidating for a villain name, we have good ol' Dr. Eggman to shoot down that argument.

This game was quite a surprise! I'm loving every second of its quirky, offbeat humor combined with addictive gameplay.

Alien on the Run is a gem of an eShop release! I was definitely sold on its quirky gameplay after trying out the demo!

@triforcepower73 I love all the cheese in the Raimi trilogy! Its that what separated "that" Spidey from the dark, gritty superhero films at the time; and arguably today as well.

I'm glad I finally decide to get Abyss after leaving the DSiWare version on my wishlist for the longest time. I've gotta say its quite a challenging game! It took me gosh knows how many tries, just to get through level 1! But I love the minimalistic approach to the game's presentation, music, and gameplay. Its a great game at an insanely great value!

Decided to get Abyss after putting off buying the original DSiWare release for the longest time. Should be interesting!

What? No mention of Pico? A former military soldier that became hit-man, who's dream is to win the Grand Prix and create a "Pico Cup."

If that's not ingenious, I don't know what is.

Oh em gee... its finally happening! Figures of all the Nintendo characters we know and love!

Definitely can't wait!

@Joshers744 I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so! SW fans are almost like the Sonic fanbase; a good amount is always displeased with every new game, TV show, comic, etc. They've both become a mess of a fandom; being split into dozens of subgroups.

Judging from a number of the newer comments, my suggestion to "hardcore" fans lightening up still stands.

At its core, Star Wars has always just been the six films. (like it or not PT haters, maybe lighten up too?) Nothing is really lost here; people will enjoy playing those games regardless of them being "canon" or not.

I don't want Metroid to become an outright horror series; Its got its own style.

I liked that there was a creepiness and sense of horror that lingered around in most of the games, (always loved how you'd only hear Samus' metallic footsteps occasionally in the Prime games, without any music) it was kept at a minimum, yet was still very effective.

I say leave the series tone the way it is. Its something no other franchise out there has really replicated; save for added gore and grotesque imagery.

I really enjoyed Mighty Final Fight when I used to own the Capcom Classics Mini Mix for GBA. I'll gladly download it when it comes to the West!

Definitely Samus-ception.

My sister (HUGE Peach fan) is going to go nuts when she sees this!

Nice to see some Prequel fans around here...

In all honesty, I'd take nearly any new Star Wars game if it were to come to Wii U or 3DS. Pinball is fun, but I want something with more substance now.

Hopefully those games in development that are inspired by the Batman Arkham games will be what we've been itching for.

That Direct was pure gold! I couldn't stop laughing the whole time! This game just looks like all sorts of crazy, random fun! I could see myself messing around for hours.

I might try and figure out how to get both this and the 3DS Smash Bros. now...

Still one of my top 5 games of all time! I've owned it for 10 years, and still find myself replaying through it! I still say this is the best Mario & Luigi entry; partially because it was the first of its kind. Also this was the first time we saw Luigi being a goofy, offbeat sidekick before it was the norm.

If you ask me, Cackletta >>> Fawful

Thank goodness Zero suit Samus won't be forced on you, as I'm much better with regular Samus.

Sounds interesting. Hope its a full-fledged retail release, and not just an eShop one.

That'd be great if its a cartoony FPS; that's something you never really see.

I'm loving this so far, its a very unique experience. I think a huge reason is that its a baseball game, something I rarely play unless its got Mario on the cover. The haggling mechanic is a nice, intriguing way of getting you to buy more mini-games. I'm defiantly going to get the Umpire one; gotta love telling someone they're "out," right?

Also I find Rusty to be a lovable, sympathetic character and hope to see more of him in the future!

I feel like the whole Direct will just be showing us minor gameplay additions, changes, etc. "Now X item does this, unlike previous entries in the series!" "You will now be able to do X and Y with this move, unlike previous entries." I hope I'm wrong though.

Probably the best things that'll come out of it are a newcomer, more returning veterans revealed, and hopefully a release date.

I'm honestly loving RRDB right now! Very fun, charming title so far!

Sonic Boom; because its something unexpected.

I know Smash Bros. 4 and Mario Kart 8 will be great games, and I know I'll be getting them. But Sonic Boom is an interesting one, and I'm very excited to hear more about it.

I own Superstar Saga (my favorite Mario spin-off title) and Metroid Fusion (the better of Sakamoto's work with a narrative-heavy Metroid, IMO) in their original cartridge forms.

I don't really see any reason to buy them again.

So we'll have the light-hearted Sonic Boom series, going parallel with a "dark and edgy" film, specifically aimed at adults?

I'm curious to see how they'll pull this off...

I'd defiantly get the Mario Gamepad cover and Luigi Wheel. Please come to the US!

A new Metroid has to be announced at this year's E3.

Please make it happen Nintendo. Blow my socks off again like you and Retro did with the Prime trilogy!

Little Mac because he's a "Big Mac."

Just the Star Wars Pinball DLC for me.

Its about time it came over to Wii U!

I was hoping for something like Mario Tennis or F-Zero X.

Maybe next moth...

I'm fairly sure they'll release a version down the road for Wii U, PS3, and 360. If they're re-releasing Arkham Origins: Blackgate on home consoles, it doesn't sound too farfetched.

I really don't think it'll sell well just being on XB1 and PS4; two consoles barely half a year old.

I have a theory that perhaps Armature Studios is working on a Wii U version of the game. That or there'll be an Armored Edition-type of release down the road.

They'd be setting themselves up for poor sales if its strictly Xbox One and PS4, console-wise. WB games thought the Wii U had a low install-base? What about Xbox One and PS4? Tons of 360/PS3 owners are already crying about having to upgrade.

Wah, wah, Waluigi... got screwed over.

I still say that Metroid Prime 3 was one the best looking games on Wii. Retro did an amazing job with their inspiring art direction. Add the fact it was only SD, and that makes it all the more incredible.

Fingers crossed for Metroid. But I'll take Star Fox or F-Zero too.

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Waluigi is such a lovable sore loser.

In light of this, Nintendo will announce Year of Waluigi!

So much great stuff! To say I'm excited would be an understatement!

Its cool to actually see the VAs at work; especially the always-great Mike Pollock. If you weren't on the hype-train before, this should definitely put you on the fence! How many times has Sonic been given a new game, TV show, and a related line of merchandise all at once?

Loved the SNES version, I remember fondly playing it when I borrowed it from a friend. I still remember one time I called them at around 10 pm just to ask what the code was to get to the final boss!

Oh how times were simpler...

This is IMO, a dumb decision.

How will fully polygonal games look anywhere near presentable on an average TV screen? What about DS games that use both screens at the same time?

Adding GBA VC to the Wii U instead of 3DS is a terrible decision too. Just give 3DS ambassadors the shaft; as well as ones who didn't buy one at launch, but were hoping for eventual release of GBA games.

What's going on Nintendo? I don't get these announcements.

I'm glad its amost over. I've been a Luigi fan for as long as I can remember, and this Year of dedication to him was cool for awhile.

But it just seems like its being forced at this point; Luigi Bros. in 3D World, Dr. Luigi, now Super Luigi Bros. We get it Nintendo, Luigi is a character.

How about Metroid, Star Fox, or F-Zero next? They're series that deserve more attention from the masses.

Little Mac's reveal, the free-to-play Steel Diver Sub Wars, and the Koopalings being in MK8 were the highlights for me. Fairly good Direct overall, nice to know what's definitely coming soon.

So happy I'll finally be able to play as Iggy!

Maybe I'm excited for MK8 after all...

Hope to see some more of Sonic Boom.

Also would like to see Captain Falcon's SSB4 reveal as a cinematic trailer, like Rosalina's. Just because he's way overdue.

@retro_player_22 I was never talking about Kraid being playable though, just that it'd be more interesting if he were the new assist trophy instead of Mother Brain; due to his long-awaited return ever since his Melee cameo and Zero Mission appearance, about a decade ago at the least.

@BAGBOY No, Prime 3 is an 11/10 game.

I did the same with my Gamecube copies of Prime 1 and 2 also! The Trilogy collection is definitely the definitive way of playing the Prime games. I stand by the idea that Wii's control scheme is the best for FPAs or FPSs; it feels so natural.

Here's hoping we see more Prime stages and Dark Samus in some form or another in Smash 4.

@retro_player_22 There's no way her monster form would ever be playable. You just can't shrink something like that, as opposed to Ridley; who varied in size throughout the series. That'd be like having Giga Bowser as a permanent form be playable.

Kraid was in Melee, yes (probably my favorite Metroid stage in Melee) but why should only that be "his chance?" The guy's been on hold for the longest time.

@BAGBOY I see your point.

But I personally feel as though Sakurai just skims over Metroid in Smash. Samus (as far as we know) is still the only rep, most of the series' levels have been lava/acid pit areas, and there's only been one Metroid-related item.

The Prime series added so much to the franchise, and all we really got in Brawl was one stage and some trophies; Prime 3 was completely ignored and unmentioned.

If this is the extent of "new or returning" we'll be seeing for the series, I'll be disappointed.

@BAGBOY Mother Brain's been pretty obsolete since Super Metroid. Appearing only in a remake of the NES original and a cliché android plot device in Other M since.

Ridley's done much more than her, and has been in most of the games following Super Metroid. He's truly become Samus' arch-nemesis.

Besides nostalgia for older gamers, this seems a bit random. Before you say the same for Kraid; he was going to appear in Prime 1 along with Ridley. So its not as if Super Metroid would've been his last real appearance.

This just made SO much more excited for the game AND show!
