Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion are my two favorites right now, but I enjoy all of the 15 or so 3DS games I own. This year has been great so far, and the future is so bright I need these sunglasses. puts on super cool shades

I'm not a great artist by any means, but I love doing flip-notes the old fashioned way. This should be fun when it arrives. The "world" gallery will be worth it. This Japanese girl I follow on Miiverse blows my mind every day with her drawings on the GamePad. Happiness and smiles for .99 cents? You betcha.

I'll be downloading this as an act of support to those hardcore fans out there, and because these games are usually pretty darn fun.

I'll end up getting all of those listed except for Rayman (awesome games, just don't feel them like others do though), Assassin's Creed IV (played the 2nd, thought it was fun but it got repetitive), and Disney Infinity (just not my bag). However, I had to pick one for the vote, right? That was Super Mario 3D!

@drumsandperc92 I think the four Wii U games for the demo stations have to be Super Mario U (or whatever it will be called), Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101 and New Super Luigi U. Although I have to believe they will talk about and show some video of many more Wii U games in the Nintendo Direct, like hopefully whatever game Retro is making for it and Monolithsoft's new RPG.

I have a feeling that what is left of Rare (basically only the name) will be making a Banjo-Kazooie title for the XBOX One in an attempt to draw some Nintendo fans to their "The Only Box You'll Ever Need!" machine. I find that horrifically sad and hope that said fans don't bite the bait.

Happy Birthday Banjo! I sure wish you could come home now that you are nearly a man, or man-bear thingy

I find it incredibly lame how people spend their time creating something like this to play games readily available at retail. Developers, designers, game artists, and so on spend months, years even, creating their games and people purchasing those games is how they make a living. How about these morons spend that time doing something good?

Wario's crowdfarter is a hilarious take on kickstarter, and if one watches the video they will find there are many truths in it. I don't really like the idea of kickstarter, but if this game comes to Wii U I'll get it.

Nice! I'd at least pick up the new GamePad battery. I've been thinking about getting a Wii U for my sister so she can play some Wii U titles and VC games, and if this White 32GB model comes West it'll be the one.

Ah shucks! I didn't see the option for both Oracle games until it was too late However, I'm getting MegaMan X as well so no big deal. Pretty darn good retro update.

@Peach64 Agreed. If they can collaborate with Studio Ghibli again for something new on Wii U, that'd be even sweeter.

@DarkCoolEdge It's going to take Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101 and the holiday releases for that. I'm hopeful it will! Perhaps after E3 people will start to buy them as well.

Look ma! I'm playing Altered Beast with no hands!

Hmmm, I might have to hit up the Schaumburg location.

A new IP would be the best! However, if they go with an existing one, I'd love to see Star Fox on Wii U.

@rjejr Right? I wonder if they will do weird poses as well.

This is looking promising from what little we have. Hopefully more gameplay videos come out soon.

I've got Xillia pre-ordered for PS3 and I'm really looking forward to seeing what this series is all about. I guess I was blinded by my love for Final Fantasy in the past, but those games have gone downhill recently in my opinion.

Looks like I'm getting myself a little Link this holiday season!

The 3DS is swiftly becoming my favorite handheld console of all-time. I think I'll even use it for my new Dual-Scream design. The ghosts will pop out and scare that skinny Italian brother! Hehe. He is brave though, or more brave than he looks! King Boo was no slouch.

@Drattak89 Yes! Why not indeed.

@Linkmaster9 It's not that I don't like XBOX, I just have always gotten both Sony and Nintendo products. I love Nintendo's first party games and I love JRPG's, so those are my go to consoles. Sony has some nice exclusives too. I might do a bit of PC gaming now as well.

Hey @NintendoLife ! I'm glad you all fixed your server problems. I love this website and the community... Well, most of the community.

Hopefully they have some nice surprises, and a game or two for the Nintendo consoles I'll be getting a PS4 for the JRPG's, as is tradition.

@NINTENBOY Are you my long lost brother? EA is butt hurt city!

@PORYGON If money is a problem, I'd say get the second one. The first one is a good game, but this seems to be a more fleshed out example of what they really wanted to do with this series. The first one is pretty basic, but still a solid game. I bought it, but never ended up beating it. Perhaps I'll go back and try to.

Thanks for some good news @Dazza

Reads own level of hype

Power Scanner explodes

Needs eye doctor ASAP

Seriously though, this is awesome news @NL. I really hope we see more of Monolithsoft's JRPG

@Austroid +1 Best show ever my friend.

@ThomasBW84 That's what I thought.

@andrea987 lol sorry, I didn't have time to scan the entire comments section to see if someone else answered him. Like the Beatles, just let it be.

@ramstrong Didn't MS purchase Skype? If so it won't happen.

@CasuallyDressed I'm not hating in Orla, she just left out a line in the quote and paraphrased it instead. Here is the full quote:

“You know I will ultimately let consumers vote on PS vs. Xbox. You know I think Nintendo’s business was more of an extension of their last console. We are building titles for the Nintendo consoles, but not anywhere near as many as we are for PS or Xbox. You know, what I think the consumer will find is a lot more powerful gameplay with the new boxes that are coming out, and a lot of excitement, but it will remain to be seen as to the services associated with those how the consumers decide which direction they want to go.”

-EA Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen

The only thing I'd buy from them right now is a great Star Wars game for Wii U, or perhaps on 3DS. Everything else they can shove somewhere not eager to be shoved.

@Sun An 8 is just fine, great even. Why are you comparing this to retro games? That makes no sense whatsoever. If you feel the need to compare, compare it to the handheld version, which is still different and great all at the same time. There was no reason for a dramatic "NOOO" to open your statement either. That just set the wrong tone right off the get go. Just trying to help you out with some reasoning.

@ThomasBW84 #29 I completely agree. I usually go with Nintendo and Sony consoles. I'm a huge RPG fan, JRPG's in particular, and owning these two aforementioned consoles gives me what I need. Nintendo games are my favorite, but games like "Tales of" and "Ni no Kuni" are reasons enough for me to purchase a PS console.

@Ryo_Hazuki-san Agreed. Some European publication said it was horrible a few years ago and then they just voted it the best console ever. There's an xbox360 turnabout for you. (You're welcome for the pun. They aren't free though, so pay up!)

@Midnight3DS Usually jokes are half serious, hence the reply. I'm not mad, me and you have had some nice conversation before, it just gets a bit ridiculous when everyone and their mother has to choose a side on this topic.

Furthermore, I know that you know that games make a system. And games are what gaming is all about.

@Midnight3DS And the 3DS is weaker than the Vita, yet the 3DS is ten times better. That really makes no difference. Someone could make the most powerful home console ever and yet have a huge library of crap games and no one would buy it. Anyhow, I think your scientific reasoning is a bit unscientific. Check your facts from a reliable trusted source please, and that doesn't mean a stupid forum full of morons or googling it.

It's funny how gullible some of you people are. Look up that word. You can google that.

I'm done with all this Nintendo hate from jealous people. EA wishes that people loved them as much as people love Nintendo, plain and simple. They are butt hurt from the Origin fallout and obviously have plenty of morons that work for them. Most, if not all of their games are subpar anyhow. This new relationship with SEGA, a company that I respect a million times more than EA, is great for Nintendo. All EA is trying to do is make people go against Nintendo since Nintendo really wants nothing to do with them.

Nintendo and it's fans are the greatest people on earth. All these fools, as I stated earlier, are jealous of the love Nintendo gets and feel the need to hate on them to make themselves feel better. Those respectable people who just don't enjoy Nintendo's games don't say anything, and go about playing the games that they like without feeling the need to stir up meaningless drama. This guy is like the Jersey Shore of video game developers. End of story.

It was a decent Nintendo Direct for NA. I didn't really expect any huge news. I enjoyed seeing more Pikmin 3 footage, finally got a Wonderful 101 release date and the new Sonic game SOUNDS promising. I like that it is an action adventure game. The ND around E3 should be a bit more exciting, but I appreciate every one they do. No other company does this for their fans. Just a small part of why I love Nintendo so much. All those games you unimpressed people want will be on the ND around E3, guaranteed. Just like a great poker player, they don't want to show their hand too early.

@ThomasBW84 Gosh Thomas, this is part of the reason I love this website so much. You and your staff are so kind to the community and try your best to answer every and all questions if possible. Thank you so much for taking the time to do that.

I've always been a fan of anything outer space, so hopefully The Starship Damrey is quality!

This kind of makes me wish I had never gotten the Wii version, although I have no regrets as it is a great game all around. Those who are purchasing it should be very excited and happy! I love the 3DS, and it just keeps getting better. For the naysayers: Yes! Ports, remakes and all!

@ThomasBW84 Any idea when or when about the Starship Damrey review will be up friend?

This situation is akin to Wrigley Field and the rooftop owners, if anyone knows what I am talking about. The rooftop owners are making money off something they had nothing to do with creating. These pathetic people on youtube are making money off something they had no hand in making. It's really that simple.

When I create something and put my entire life and time into it I feel the same way. It's mine, and no one else should be making money off of it. People have the right to enjoy it once they purchase it, but should not be making money off of it in any way. Get a job and make money in a legit manner, or create your own games and play them on youtube if that is what you want to do.

@TroyAikman Haha! Exactly.

So many entitled people out there. How about they just don't release the game at all? Then people would actually have something to complain about.

@Midnight3DS Ah yes, I had Showtime to help me become a man.

Hey you, quit staring at my wife's bottom!

@Joshers744 Don't question Thomas' authority!

This is a pretty great week. I hope they can keep this rolling now!

Rule # 1: Phasers on stun.

Looks like us CT people will have to wake up around 8:30am to prepare ourselves for the 9am start!

@Wilford111 Hooray!... I mean, awwww

Looks cool Ubisoft, but self control says it's either this or Watch_Dogs for me. I am really liking the ideas in Watch_Dogs, so I'm going in that direction. I did really enjoy AC2, but in my eyes it got repetitive after a while and I never fully beat the game.

Eh, not really my style. Kind of reminds me of some 1970's wallpaper. If Nintendo brings the 30th Anniversary Luigi 3DSXL to NA I'll probably pick that up though.
