@MitchVogel Emulation requires much more power than the native hardware, because, in this case for example, the SNES had a different architecture than the 3DS, so it needs to replicate the same hardware, which eats up some power. And the CPU does all the work when emulating, so it doesn't matter what GPU and other specs the system has. Look at the Xbox 360 games emulated on the Xbox One; the games have some problems when running, even though it is clearly much more powerful than the 360.

I find that Shibata really started to behave less like he did before (he was more of a 'Shy Guy', and didn't do so many cheesy things and didn't regularly participate at events), but now he reminds me of Iwata (doing videos like this and going to some big European events). I really miss that wonderful man, though.

@westman98 And also because the Wii was very popular among those with smart phones, and everyone with a Wii will recognise them easier than Mario (I mean, no Wii Mario game sold a really high percent of the number of the units sold), so it would make it easier for them to notice it through the App Store/Google Play and then download the other apps they see from the same publisher. And it may be easier to make Miitomo, and they need more time to work on more complex 'real' smartphone games, so the first title will, of course, be the one that is the least (technically) impressive one, because it had less time to be developed.

@rjejr Because Ubisoft is a big 3rd party publisher and it is a big part of the gaming industry. And they are still technically supporting the Wii U. Just Dance 2016 released last holiday.

@Desy64 The GamePad was part of the experience, and there is no support for two GamePads. It couldn't be made co-op, unless we are talking about an eventual remake/remaster. I found the game VERY enjoyable. The only downside were the loading times. But the jokes and Mario references are great. Also, the gameplay was amazing.

Final Fantasy VII is NOT a PS4 exclusive. It is 'play it on PS4 first', so basically a timed exclusive, like Rise of the Tomb Raider. It will be exclusive at first on PS4, but the fact that they said that it is only first on PS4 means that it will come to at least one other system at a later date.

I hope they will soon increase the number of supported countries. 16 is too few. We need most of Europe supported and also Latin America. And South Korea is a viable option.

Also, the shortages might have been caused by a problem in the factory. I mean, you can't give another reason to it, since the Wii U is selling at least 8-10K every week even without new titles released. And the Wii was being made until 2013, and the other consoles also were being made at least until the new hardware would release. So there is no other possible excuse than a malfunction of the factory.

The Wii U sales were no surprise, after these stock shortages. What surprised me actually was the boost in Xbox One sales.

@Angelic_Lapras_King And it being on the NX VC is very unlikely, since it is basically an emulated game, so not releasing it on Wii U is pointless. They should just continue the VC from what they already put on Wii U. And the Wii U would also have the Earthbound Trilogy, and we don't know if a new console will release by the time they end this translation OR if it will actually have a GBA VC. I mean, if it is a handheld, I wouldn't be surprised if they only have NES and Game Boy games on it.

@Frank90 Why does everyone want everything to be on NX? It could mean a big delay and it's not like the games don't look already good on the Wii U. And we don't know anything about the said NX, except that it exists.

I feel bad for them.

@Octane And they said they don't want to rush it. And if they distribute dev kits to the others one year before, the launch would be rushed. The Wii U launch was ok, but the 3DS one... It was horrible. I bet they made the dev kits as fast as they could and sent them to the devs after that launch so they would have a more decent launch. The problem is that most people who talk about the NX forget about the most important part: the games. If those rumours about the dev kits are true, it should launch in 2017. All these rumours are so confusing, and what bothers me the most is that every rumour 'leaks' the announcement and release date, but never talks about the console itself (they talked only about its power), titles aimed for its release and the unique part of it.

You know what's actually scary in this week's charts? Regular 3DS beats the regular new 3DS.

@MoonKnight7 In Japan, Wii U has a better line-up. The only games that are new and published by Nintendo are Metroid Prime Federation Force and Hyrule Warriors Legends, while the other games on the list are either 3rd party, out in Japan or both.

Damn, I thought Mario & Luigi would have scored higher...

@shani And those are waiting times, but nothing has to load. You wait for people to join the lobby.

@KrakenSoup You played AND FINISHED the CD-i games?! I think we need a review of them. Just for fun.

@Spoony_Tech Ever heard of the CD-i?

Me neither.

Shibata pls

@wazlon There is no such thing as a 'real gamer'. But you can't really say that the games are dumbed down, because you have Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Yoshi's Woolly World (the collecting part is really hard), Super Mario 3D World (the bonus worlds), New Super Mario Bros U (challenges), Pikmin 3 (missions) and this is only some games on the Wii U.

@Arlo Mario & Luigi was never about the story. It's other games, like Fire Emblem. And you are talking as if there is a Zelda game since the 4th gen where there was no story. Even the freaking CD-i games had a story!

@TeeJay Really? They showed like ovef 10 new games, and the only ones I remember scoring less than a 7 were Mario Tennis U, amiibo Festival and Zelda Triforce Heroes (which got a 6, so it is not mediocre). And every M&L was pretty enjoyable, while other games at E3 have not been released, so you have no right to praise/bash them. And NEVER generalise a company's products, especially when they are releasing around the same time, because, in that case, there are different teams developing them.

@Verg I speak German fairly well (I was living there in my first few years of my life), so I chose Germany.

@belmont Yes, but the games may also be cheaper in some places. But amiibo are always more expensive than MSRP.

I am sure they didn't even try to get a new game after launch, and they don't want to make anymore games for the Wii U AND 3DS because they are not paid. And that guy didn't say why they don't make 3DS, while saying that the market of a console with over 100.000 sales is not big enough is not really an excuse. They could have said that the console was outdated, last gen or anything like that. And Splatoon (along with others) proves that games can sell there.

I hope they don't pull a Project Cars. And why use graphics that are not compatible with the Wii U? They could just use something compatible with every format and release it on every platform.

@vitalemrecords You mean that other companies put CGI gameplay or downgrade it before launch, but mostly big third parties.

I just hope the studio will get the chance to make other games. They were really unlucky to have their first game in developers' hell, because I find that, behind all those glitches (mostly because of the game going through 4 different engines), there is a solid game lying in the disk.

The name is the best. 'Re(x)tro 64(us)

Just. Wow. Splatoon would have been so strange qith this warping system...

That moment when you realise that the 2minutes+ trailer you hoped to see Shadow Mewtwo in had him for only 7 seconds, and that was not even gameplay.

@Barbiegurl777 Don't worry; Tsatsumi Kimishima will beat up Reggie's body until he loses his readyness shield and faints. Then, we might finally see Mother 3 (along with a lot of other games) localised.

Not my type of game, but these amiibo costumes look nice!

@jawstep You can only use it a little time. Maybe it is like in Splatoon, where you can't test the weapons in any other mode than training.

@SetupDisk We can't say that it won't be surpassed, but the Wii basically paved the way for mobile gaming with the motion controls, while the DS with the touchscreen. And mobile gaming is HUGE. (Maybe there are not too many good games, but the market is bigger than the console+PC market)

What about a Clash of Clans-type Fire Emblem game? And Zelda can be a puzzle game. And let's not forget about Smash; it could have a touchscreen control and be more of a traditional fighter. Like Injustice: gods among us.

I hope project giant robot will still be released, in some way. And project guard seems interesting. I don't care if Zelda comes to NX or not; I will prefer the Wii U version anyways. (And please note that no official source stated that it would come out on NX or that it comes out in 2016, it's only what some people and rumours say, so I would not get any of my hopes up)

@thesilverbrick But the adapter is not rare anymore, at least in Germany; anyways, they have been using the gamepad for every virtual console release, and I doubt they'll do that. But I can always play the games on the GCN/Wii/PC (nothing illegal if you own the software).

I really like those Splatoon numbers.

@ghostjoshu I don't find those spin-offs bad. I think the likes of Metroid Prime: Federation Force and Animal Crossing amiibo Festival (but this one did it wrong with having a board game; they could make other modes for Animal Crossing to make it using amiibo in a different way) have potential, and fans are not open-minded about them. And they are not even made by the people who usually make main series games (Next Level Games makes Metroid Prime and Ndcube makes Animal Crossing), so you shouldn't complain about that. The animal crossing team made happy home designer (I think).

@manu0 But I am pretty sure it was a 2016 game after the digital event, it's just that NoE updated the release date. NoA might do the same.

@VortexTraveller Wii Music was a pretty nice game, and I liked the presentation of it at E3 2008. But they should have had thought more about what they would have been showing off at that E3. Like, let's say New Super Mario Bros Wii or another game that could have some hype behind it after a trailer, unlike a guy that plays the drums.

@NintyMan Probably Bowser Jr.

@readyletsgo They will maybe advertise Xenoblade X, but Fatal Frame/Project Zero will not be advertised. But hey, at least the free demo will make some people interested in it!

I hope there will be a lot more presented in a direct.
