RevolverLink

Only $24,999? Let me just check my bank account here....

Oh... oh my...

Do you see those people with Monster Hunter bundles?

Get a good look, because no one is ever going to see their faces again.

Eh, I like New Super Mario Bros. U, but I'd take Rhythm Heaven Fever or Xenoblade Chronicles over it every time.

Hmm, I've never played the series before, despite my interest, so now I'm unsure whether I should wait for IV or just pick-up one of the re-printed DS games.

@Geonjaha - I desperately want Rocket Slime 3 to make its way to North America.

A man can only play Rocket Slime (2) so many times.

"Dragon Quest VII was the last in the series to use random encounters"

Wait, what? Dragon Quest VIII had random battles.

Every single time I see an article or a review on "Wipeout", I immediately think it's about the classic PlayStation racing series. I am disappointed nearly every time.

Japan does love its handhelds.

Pachter and the reactions he inspires are always good for a cheap laugh; he's just such a fantastic troll.

Pikmin 3

HNNNNGGGGG-

I'm so envious, we don't even have Picross E over here yet!

Come on, Reggie! Fix this!

So Fire Emblem's coming in February, Luigi's Mansion will arrive in the Spring and Animal Crossing will probably be released sometime in the Summer? Prudent of Nintendo to spread out their bigger releases like that.

Good to know it's actually coming; the gameplay videos make it look pretty fun.

It feels like Animal Crossing's been in development forever (although, thankfully, we're finally at the localization stage). Wasn't it first revealed all the way back in 2010?

Nintendo could've offered up nothing except Wario Land 3 and it still would've been a fantastic week.

It's a pleasant surprise to hear how supportive Nintendo has been of this project.

I never had a Game Boy Camera myself, but one of my best friends as a kid had one that we used pretty often (and a Game Boy Printer too!). The pictures were not exactly... pretty, but it still made for a nifty change of pace between Pokemon sessions.

I really dug the music and sound effects, lol.

Although the fact that Mario is actually kind of a terrible person has always been hidden in plain sight. (Warning: some profanity)

That's actually pretty neat.

Game Boy Advance SP master race, reporting in to voice our displeasure!

Still, it was a pretty cool video.

With due respect to Liberation Maiden and Aero Porter, this is the Guild01 game I've been looking forward to most.

I wish more levels in the NSMB series had the visual ambition of the Van Gogh-inspired stage. I could stare at backgrounds like that for hours.

Nothing for me this week, although I might download Aero Porter someday.

Those things are going to be worth a pretty penny on eBay someday.

Very nice, I will definitely be checking it out. I'm always grateful for demos, seeing as I'm a bit of a tightwad.

It's a shame, really. With internet connectivity, and thus Netflix and Hulu Plus compatibility, Nintendo might've had an interesting, affordably-priced 2-in-1 streaming and gaming device on their hands.

The lack of GameCube support is a drop in the bucket by comparison. Yeah, gaming/Nintendo enthusiasts might not like it, but the ability to play games for a console that's been irrelevant since 2005 isn't a selling point for anybody in 2012 - and anyone that would've been interested in that feature already owns a method of playing GCN titles anyway.

Semi-OT, but between the 3DS' capabilities and the Wii U being the Wii U, the time would seem ripe for a Pac-Man Vs. revival. It was an obtuse fit for the GameCube, but Nintendo's hardware has finally caught up to that game's fun ideas. Just a thought.

Can't I just buy the red Wiimote and nunchuk combo separately? Those are the real attraction here.

To further confirm @LEGEND_MARIOID's news, here's Destructoid -

"Nintendo has officially revealed the Wii Mini, slated for Canadian release on December 7 and retailing for $99.99. According to the platform holder, the small-size Wii will be exclusive to our neighbors in the north for the duration of the holiday period.

The Mini features a top-loading disc tray and looks like a Duplo brick with its flat look and red/black color scheme. As well as cutting down on size, the Mini has an important feature snipped — online connectivity. It also won't be compatible with GameCube games — but "most" peripherals will be supported ... so that's something. Maybe.

Nintendo currently has nothing to say on a worldwide release, so if you're desperate for an offline Wii that isn't backwards-compatible, you best be in Canada!"

@BRAINFOX - Stole me post

Anyway, it's good to know that GamePad is so durable, especially for the more clumsy members of our species.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that that tent is starting to smell really bad.

I'm liking that red Wiimote.

I'm very interested in Two Brothers, although I'm still curious about why it's being developed for the WiiU, and not the 3DS, eShop. More because of the obvious Game Boy nods than anything else.

I still find the whole "Tekken characters wearing skinned Nintendo characters" thing to be rather unsettling.

Where are some of you getting this "no Layton puzzles" idea? A Layton puzzle is a prominent part of the trailer.

As for the strike system in the Phoenix Wright segments, if it is like the first game, it'll be more like 5 strikes instead of 3 - which, really, wasn't functionally much different from the health bar of the later games.

Eh, I had a feeling this was coming; the only companies that like to port their own stuff more than Capcom are Ubisoft and Nintendo.

I think it might lose a little something without the depth-of-field 3D, but really, if this gets more people to play this excellent game, I don't mind. They've already ported Okami twice since it came out in 2006, and still not nearly enough people have played it.

No objections here!

...Sorry.

Just some Devil Survivor here and some Resident Evil: Revelations there.

I'm still holding out an incredibly faint hope that some small publisher like Xseed will localize Earth Seeker and/or Rodea the Sky Soldier (although at least in the Rodea's case, it's already being developed for the very much alive 3DS), but with even Nintendo not having anything left in the tank for it, it looks like this is the end for the old Wii.

Farewell Wii, you had a weird, and occasionally quite fun, run.

Very classy. That will look great on my coffee table.

A new, hand-drawn, 2D Yoshi's Island built from scratch for an HD system?

Oh Reggie, you shouldn't have.

We are long overdue for a new 2D Metroid, and WayForward is one of the few developers I would trust completely with such a task.

@sonik 512MB wasn't all that tolerable back in 2006, and 3GB of space in 2012 isn't either.

Unless someone plans on playing their Basic WiiU sparingly and only buying the occasional retail game (and at that stage, why would they even bother with one at launch?), I don't see much point in anyone getting Basic.

This was... punctual...

I'm almost impressed at its complete lack of impressiveness.

I look forward to playing this in 2014.

@gamermii - I can't specifically recommend this game (since I've yet to play it), but generally speaking, it's a pretty safe bet that if you like the Mario & Luigi games, you'll probably like the Paper Mario games too.

@NintenDude97 - 1) 8/10 is far from a poor score.
2) Two people different people reviewed Super Paper Mario and Sticker Star.

Oh man, if I were hardcore F-Zero fan, that reaction would've made me pretty sad. I definitely think there's still a niche out there for the series - and I also think it would be one of the series that would benefit the most from Nintendo's belated jump to HD.
