@Angelic_Lapras_King Lets hope so, I love me some PC Engine.

@MadAussieBloke If EA made sandwiches...

I really hope that PES makes it to the 3DS.

FIFA 14 "Legacy Edition" 3DS - £39.99

@unrandomsam I'm guessing that it's easier to pump out the NES ports, I don't even know if the Wii eShop upgrade is even worth it for NES Gradius? But Gradius II was great!

Looks like a Nintendo only VC for the Wii U from now on?

@unrandomsam Gradius II would have been a better release, the NES version even had speech!

Considering the the size of the UK install base it's positive news.

Personally I love the Golf (even though I don't like real golf), but "online bowling" will sell, no doubt.

Anyone that's interested in how everything works inside the Wii U should check out this article, a very good read...

@Bliquid All my points are specifically to do with the hardware, pretty much everything else you point out I agree with except maybe the gamepad and a few Wii U games.

Of course, potential is only potential if nobody takes advantage of the hardware and that goes for all next gen hardware not just the Wii U, but there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding the Wii U in terms of performance.

It's going to be very interesting when the Xbone and PS4 hit, I don't think that some people are going to be as "blown away" as they expect to be. but in saying that I'll certainly be keeping an eye on the PS4..

@Bliquid I wasn't comparing the Wii U to 7 year old hardware, it's quite interesting that you bring that up as obviously the problem here is that both the last gen systems are holding the Wii U back in performance terms.

Like I said before 3rd party ports to the Wii U are mostly from last gen hardware with different architecture, obviously 3rd parties are not going to go to all that trouble of developing games for the Wii U from the ground up when they can get away with basically what they are doing now..

As a matter of fact the PS4 and Xbone have more similar architecture to the Wii U which will make porting games to the system much easier.

Also the Wii U was built just for gaming, the PS4 and Xbone have a lot more going on than just games, so obviously they are going to need more resources..

No doubt the PS4 and Xbone will be more powerful, there's no doubt about that, but there's nothing to suggest that the Wii U isn't capable of doing some pretty awesome things either.

@Sceptic I doubt Nano Assault took over 4 years to make..

@Bliquid But yet the Wii U can do all of those things that you listed, very well infact. The problem is that people are looking at the specs (which are still rough estimates for the most part) and then forming an opinion based off numbers with no idea how the RAM, the CPU and GPU actually work together.

In performance terms all the "credible" information that's out there suggests that the Wii U is a very capable console.

@Shiryu One of the best looking games on the Wii was F-Zero GX and that was a Gamecube game

@Bliquid To be fair the majority of Wii U 3rd party games are ports from inferior hardware.

Plus I read an article where the devs behind Killer Instinct described running the game at 60 frames a second on xbone as "a challenge"..

I have a US 3DS and a PAL Wii U, so im guessing that the "data transfer" app won't work? I'll still probably buy it on 3DS though at that price..

MH3U 3DS for me, I have a PAL Wii U so I'll have to wait until tomorrow for Wind Waker..

They could improve the game massively by removing Necrid and replacing him/it with another character..

@kereke12 If that was the case then Nintendo wouldn't never have allowed GTA to be released on the DS. This video on the other hand, may shed some light on the subject..

@TreesenHauser It's a 3rd party party game though, ubisoft are not going to put any more effort in than simply getting it up and running on Wii U + Gamepad. If Blacklist was built from the ground up for Wii then it would have blown the PS3 and 360 versions away in performance.

Sad day..

The best version of the game was originally on a Nintendo console so it would be a shame if SCII HD didn't make it to the Wii U

@Capt_Charlie What did they cut from FIFA 13? Always wondered what it was like on Wii U...

@SuperPeach Looks like a good move, first Sonic game that I've been interested in for a good while.

@andyrob_24_7

It was interesting to see people interact while playing a single player game, each member of the team having their own specialised area

The new Wind Waker visuals look amazing!

@ThomasBW84 You shouldn't have to put "disc" in the headline, but obviously some people have trouble getting past that part

@Jahir As a huge 3rd party exclusive, it would be crazy not to bring it to the Wii U. Infact the reason why I caved in and bought a Wii U in the first place was for MH.

Not my kind of game but i'd imagine that a lot would...

@AG_Systems I'm with you buddy, I love the golf!

I love Wii Sports Golf and Bowling, but now in HD and online?

It's interesting that GTA "marks" are using the word "embarrassing" quite a lot in the comments and saying things like "this is what gives gamers a bad name". But in actual fact, if you look at the fallout from the Gamestop GTA V review, the word "embarrassing" doesn't even start to cover what went on there...

...and of course this "reaction" to the Gamespot GTA V review came from those so called "responsible", "mature" gamers... Marvelous!!!

@ActionMan But many many people on here have also posted that they would buy it or have bought it on another system, a few people have said that they don't like it (including ONE member of the NL staff). That really doesn't indicate to me that there isn't a market for the game on Wii U...

@ActionMan I don't think that anyone has claimed that there isn't have they?

@SkywardLink98 I'd say all the blame was on Nintendo for putting Rockstar North off in the first place, not a lot to do with this site or people on here, all fans moan and complain, It's not like Rockstar North are getting anything as bad as death threats or anything like that from people on here now is it?

Also "you guys" how does that include me? Personally I'm not bothered about no GTA on a Nintendo system, would be good for Nintendo but I'm really not surprised by this situation.

Like I said before if I really wanted it then I could buy it on another platform. When I say that I "don't like the game", there's no subliminal message hidden in there, I just don't like GTA games and it's good to see that a few others feel the same way as I was beginning to think that I was the only one...

@CorusFace Ubisoft have had really bad timing regarding their releases too.

@Shiryu Don't worry, I had to look it up

..all you need to know is here.

@jpcline004 I could go out and buy it for 360 if I wanted it, doesn't make a difference to me. I even had Vice City for PS2 for FREE, but I gave it away.

Some people just don't like the game, I'd assume that Damien McFerran, isn't speaking for the rest of the NintendoLife staff as it's just his own opinion, not theirs, If GTA did become available for Wii U then it would get a good review here as someone else would probably be reviewing it.

Personally i'd like to see GTA V on Wii U as it would definitely boost sales, I still wouldn't buy it though.

@SkywardLink98
Nintendo only have themselves to blame on that one.

@Swiket She took a real battering in the comments section, way over the line. People also got a petition going demanding that she should be fired from her job, the game received a 9/10.

"mature gamers", hey?

@Damo Thanks for the article, I honestly thought that it was just me that didn't like this game.. I was starting to worry for a moment

@Damo Are you sure that you're willing to incur the wrath of not liking GTA?

But seriously, I agree with the article, GTA just doesn't do it for me at all, I find it quite an uncomfortable experience, especially as the visuals have become more and more realistic over time.

I've tried to like GTA as I've had many a friend tell me how amazing it is, but in all honestly I find it to be fairly boring and quite unnecessary. Good to see that I'm not on my own here..

@Shiryu I'm there...

@Azooooz Not as much as the PS3's horrific screen tearing, ouch!

@SCAR392 Either way, it needs to happen on Wii U, it would be crazy for the Wii U to miss out on a game like this, especially as quality exclusive 3td party games are not exactly plentiful at the moment.

I get the impression that MU3U did quite well on Wii U and that was only really an HD update, so a new MH game should do well?

This game really needs to come to Wii U as well.

I've never been tempted to buy a Splinter Cell game until now, so I guess that I'm part of the "new audience" that they're trying to pull in.

By the way, anyone in the UK looking to get this game, I picked it up on Amazon UK for £24.99... It arrived yesterday.

NSMBU + NSBLU Makes sense, add in the Wind Waker bundle and that should get consoles moving off shelves.

I think that NSMBU has sold over 2M copies? That's just over half the Wii U install base?

I will be keeping an eye on this for sure..

My 3DS seems lighter after the update (o_0 )

If these things made The Chaos Engine and Alien Breed playable, on my tablet then count me in!

@antonvaltaz The Japanese are obsessed with robots, yet Europe got Probotector.. ; )

I also remember Castlevainia Bloodlines being heavily censored as well, it's not surprising that importing was so popular back in those days..
