Yooka-Laylee is gonna be amazing. Can't wait to play it

Now that Sony has taken the home console market from Nintendo, hopefully Nintendo can use it as motivation to make sure NX comes in gun blazing in every way possible.

@Warruz Yeah I heard about it, I wish I could get Risky's Revenge on Wii U physical :/ oh well at least we're getting the 3rd and 4th game physically on Nintendo platforms.

I hope one day Wayforward makes a physical compilation of all 4 Shantae's (or at least the 1st 3 Shantae's on 3DS) on Wii U or NX.

I'll miss the store's beautiful soundtrack

@impurekind I was able to look at the store description before it was yanked from the store and they clearly advertise playing Super Mario 64 on XB1 as one of the screenshot, so there's your copyright reason why it was pulled from the store.

Some of you need to realized that this is how Nintendo keeps it's secret from getting "leaked". Yes it's a bit bs but at the same time it's a necessary procedure to prevent spoiling the big surprise.

I honestly don't understand why most of you have a problem with that price point? To me a $399.99 US / €399.99 / £349.99 is the perfect price since it confirms that Nintendo is using industry leading chips and finally learned / realized 3rd party content is key to a home console success. Also keep this in mind your money loses it's value over time do to inflation, so in order for Nintendo to keep producing high quality consoles the asking price sadly has to be increased. Plus let's be real here why can't Nintendo sell their machine at the same price as their competition? Last I check Nintendo can still make capable hardware.

As long as this is NOT the main controller for NX then i'm ok that this exist but we can't have another Wii U situation (I love my Wii U with all my heart but we don't need another downgrade console with expensive controller) what we want is an up to date console with either an upgrade version of a Gamecube controller, Wii Classic controller or Wii U Pro Controller that's it. Basically innovate later made the hardware + normal controller 1st, release it and if it's succeed the show us the gimmicks.

I don't think the price is that bad, consider this Minecraft cost $30 on Wii U with no subscription fee for online vs the other console versions (minus PS3) that do require it for online. Plus now that both Super Mario Maker and Minecraft are on the same platform Nintendo in theory could make a builder bundle for Wii U for the next black Friday. Selling it as the best creation tool console on the market.

Best news of the day, now all we need is an update of sort to at least make the Wii U respond to another Gamepad while still keeping the 1st Gamepad connected (not at once but it would be convenient if I can swap Gamepads when one is low battery).

Let's see on Wii U I only spend money on Wii Sport Club DLC sports pack never for the ridiculous 24 our nonsense other then that Amiibo Tab (if it counts as "free-to-play" but that wasn't the primary reason why I bought Amiibo's). I haven't test out Fatal Frame V yet and the other 3 (Zen Pinball, Tank Tank Tank and Lucadian Chronicles) play it once didn't comeback to it.

As for 3DS only Streetpass Mii Plaza and Steel Diver Sub Wars I ever use my money but then again those felt more like proper DLC deals then microtransaction + with Steel Diver I couldn't resist playing the entire game with the Blue Marine XD. As for the rest well I like Pokemon Shuffle but I wish it was a retail game or download only game on eShop (like Pokemon Battle Trozei), Pokemon Rumble World never like the Rumble series, Nintendo Badge Arcade love it but i wish it use Play Coins instead of microtransactions. Ironfall was boring (but I do admire that 3 indie guys were able to make it on there own) and Rusty Real Deal Baseball the worst of all the free to play eShop game (The haggle mechanic the worst idea Nintendo made in my opinion) Haven't test out Stretchmo cause I'm still playing the other 3 version of the Pushmo series. As for Pokemon Picross can't wait plus hopefully it succeed so we can get Picross 3D 2 in the west, loved the 1st one on DS.

If it's gameplay related, why didn't they rename their Baten Kaitos games and Soma Bringer into a "Xeno" title? The explanation seems kinda odd to me.

Surprisingly most of these games I already own digitally.

Somewhat surprised that they didn't think about this idea sooner.............

Sigh.............NDcube is to incompetent when it comes to board games. I wish Nintendo re-evaluate the studio and hand over the responsibility to another studio.

I hope we get some surprises.

A bit unfair on the reviewer's part for not waiting until the price and date info.

Once the "heavy traffic" problem resolved i'll pick up Ultimate NES Remix.

That explains Takamaru's character model being so detailed in the game.

With every news update this game keeps getting better and better.

I'm in the 3rd pillar camp and I think it's a standalone VR headset.

@aaronsullivan I was thinking more in the direction of a Virtual Console only service on PC, since in theory we kinda don't need consoles specific features to play older games.

If Nintendo released an "app" on PC, then they're officially competing with Steam, Origin and other digital PC distribution channels which in of itself is not a bad thing, but how would they approach such a crowded market?

I'm not to worried as long as Nintendo has a say in everything they do this shouldn't be a problem.

I'll bet the manual is the 1st thing they're porting over to smart devices.

That's why I always preferred SMG2 over SMG1 despite SMG1 introduce the game mechanics I always felt SMG2 to be more fitting on how the levels were design.

I'm calling it now it's a standalone VR headset. XD

To be fair now Nintendo can take down clone games/apps on the app stores.

Not what I expect, but hey as long as Nintendo stay true to itself and not follow the other guys they will make this work.

No matter how you read it, it's pretty much confirmed they're making a Wii U title. Now the real question is what exactly are they making? Maybe at E3 2015 will get a definitive answer or perhaps in a future Nintendo Direct.

I hope Nintendo spread the release date of Mario Kart 8 DLC pack 2 and Splatoon as wide as possible.

Glad to see this coming to Nintendo's console first.

Capcom making 2 version of a series isn't so farfetched since they did make 2 version of Zelda on the GBC in 2001.

Fire Emblem Warriors should be their next crossover muso project.

Am I the only one that noticed the Youtube upload date 0.o

I need this in my life. (NOA hurry up and announce it already!)

Kirby always delivers.

NOA actually trolls well.

At this point in time Capcom has proven to the world they like to do things at their terms even if it's risking their very existence. But hey at least their not Konami.

How long must we wait for NOA to re-released Golden Sun: The Lost Age on Wii U VC?!

From my perspective only the hardware sales on a global level was a disappointment for Nintendo, everything else even the new Amiibo line was a superb successful for them. And when I check PS and XB numbers is the exact opposite. (except for Halo)

More weird decisions by Nintendo...........................

Very useful, especially since Nintendo has been relatively quiet on 3DS Amiibo support.

I saw gameplay footage of the Gamecube version the other day, looks fun.

My most wanted game of 2015!!!!!

I'm hoping for a Star Fox X Mario Kart 8 (pack 3) and Splatoon X Mario Kart 8 (pack 4). Plus instead of 2 cups each pack comes with 1 Cup and 4 Battle Arena's and coin runners mode added for battle mode, i'm somewhat surprised they left out coin runners in MK8 to begin with.

I think SEGA are seeing the theme idea more as a advertising opportunity then a cash grab, I guess it's good for us since we don't have to pay a penny.

@mowerdude I won't be able to cash up my account till October and I pretty much spend my reserves on the DLC wasn't sure if the deal was for a limited time.

All of this could have been avoided if Nintendo simply release it globally at once.
