Ruthven

@Bolt_Strike... Yeah I know there is no Windows Mobile support "currently"... I'm hopping Nintendo will support the proud ~3% who love it (Or are workplace enforced users of Windows Mobile)

I think I must have bet RE4 at least 5 times across the GCN & Wii... (The only RE I have actually finished)

Actually I'm still gutted that MK8 does not support 5 player local split screen like Sonic Racing Transformed does

Mario Kart needs to be planed for at least a year after the console is out... so they can make the most of the hardware as they have done in previous versions... and yes its too soon after MK8 to even mention MK9

Man I used to sell these things at Kmart in the 90's.... Gameboy was $199NZD (with Tetris) and this was up $149. So the Mum's used to come in and want the "cheaper" console but the kids would have nothing to do with it..

@Yorumi I agree completely but unfortunately its not the way Nintendo has designed its Wii U "Games Console". PC's will always be more flexible.

As far as I understand it the controller is USB... NO other Wii U games know about USB for control Input, as it is NON standard.
I have the GCN Super Smash Bros. controller that works nicely on my Wii & GCN thank you very much.
In my 2c, the Wii U is much less messy than the Wii proliferation of controller options.

PS: EA's laughable attempts at Rugby games are jokes.... so I was really looking forward to a fun game title with a Rugby game... and I'm Nintendo bias anyway!!

I was so pumped for the Wii U version coming out in the beginning of the year, as combining my two big obsessions, Nintendo and Rugby Union (even if Sevens) is going to be amazing.
Now it will have to fight it out with the two Wii U Zelda's coming out

My very cheap 2c
1. Make the home NX console boring (Std controller, similar h/w specs to PS4/Box1, MUST be x86 inside!!) - Bring on the cross platform 3rd Party software glut, sprinkled by Nintendo AAA highlights.
2. Go "Nintendo" hard on the handheld NX (either x86 or ARM), and whatever other loveys Nintendo can dream up. This could be also used for off screen game streaming ala Wii U, and some well designed Nintendo/3rd Party titles would make use of Home/Handheld NX gaming goodness.
3. Sit back an watch Nintendo rise to the gaming top again

0.1 Oh and make one NintendoID usable-able across all platforms including compatible games and VC games (Wii U, 3DS, HomeNX, HandheldNX)

Will Miitomo work on Windows Mobile 8, 8.1 & 10 Mobile phones?

Love the story... All the best to the both of you.
Nintendo fun for the family, and if your extra lucky it might even be the start of a great gaming family

Why not use the age/age restrictions of the Mii logged into play the game, that way you could keep or censor the costumes as age appropriate?

The way I see it is the external memory will be some kind of card similar to the DS/3DS card... the NX "home" console will take this card also but be mainly focused on downloading for games. The card will basically be used for slow/limited download regions and for the "handheld" version of the NX. If Nintendo implements pre-release downloads that will go some way to mitigating slow downloads also.

+1 @GauBan & @Capt_N
For years I played more Super Gameboy games than I did SNES games... I still have and love it today. Such a missed opportunity for the Gameboy Player to not include a SGB mode
I still hope that one day Nintendo would write a love letter to Gameboy fans and release a Gameboy Retro (tm) that plays all GB/SGB/GBC/GBA games from the Cartridge... one can only dream!!

Doh.. only got 3600 stars left
Too many deals have been

@Chaoz
I wish the Kirby love came to AU/NZ... Nintendo never bothered to include us
(I would have even buy the Kirby collection on VC if it was released)

The NX needs to be x86 biased Hardware with a standard controller (Wii U Pro Controller would do)... This is for all the third party publishers who just don't put any effort into porting. Nintendo can then concentrate on what it does best and design awesome fun games, and if Nintendo want make a Wii Remote 2 or Gamepad 2 controller for Game immersion as only Nintendo can. The lazy 3rd party developers/publishers will be happy and the Nintendo Hardcore will also be happy; win, win I say

Mr Iwata, you will be missed and loved by your legions of Nintendo fans

I wish one or more of these actually made it to NZ!!

Want the Bowser now... NIce

First... bring on Mario Rugby Sevens !!

Since I'm a Kiwi and a Nintendo fanboy this is a no brainer for me .... Mario and Rugby equals a day one purchase for me

All props to Nintendo for actually getting the **FIRST** Humble Console Bundle out the door, even if it does have a few limitations.
I will forever be eternally optimistic that they can do the same for other regions (inc AU/NZ) in the near future!!
(I'm almost temped to purchase just because its Nintendo, even though I cant use it )

Just about clicked buy... then I noticed that it was indeed too good to be true... for US only
I love New Zealand.. but sometimes it sucks games wise

The announcement was all good and well... but where do we pre-order them from ?!?

I will keep the dream alive that one day Nintendo releases a "Dry Bones" Amiibo !!!

Nice... I missed out on Toon Link...
(one auction site here in NZ Wanted $50 NZD for it )

If the WiiU breaks 15-20 Million consoles I will be happy... (beating the Master System, Game Gear, Dreamcast, TurboGrafx-16, Sega Saturn - It dosnt show too much that I still have some 80's Nintendo vs Sega in me hehehe)

I've got the collectors edition, and as I'm a Nintendo fan it sits proudly in my collection, I will never sell it on some money grabbing auction site.

Shoot me down in flames but I'm really looking forward to a New Mario Party... I love playing this with friends and family grouped around the TV.

PS If Nintendo cant figure out how to do "Local 5 Multi-player" in Mario Kart 8, with the GamePad showing its own screen like Sonic Racing has been able to do for the last 2 1/2 years then I really think they missed a golden opportunity to show of the GamePad difference.

I got the two physical DS "Game and Watch" games, and was saving the points for something physical... but who know what will be available now.
I will have to check the forums for trading points codes as I have a double up of one game I cant redeem again and some EU codes there is no point in redeeming

@Gerbwmu +1
I register all games in our house's Nintendo systems, so we can collect all the points in a family pool of points. So my Daughter and Wife who play some of the games don't get fairly represented in the figures.

I love Nintendo, and Club Nintendo... very sad to see it go... but recently the rewards have been less than average. Hopefully they bring on some awesome exit deals.
The Nintendo Premium program was a step in the right direction, being automatic on eShop purchases and way nicer web interface.
Excited for NNID loyalty program for the future.

@Spoony +1
My daughter also loves "helping" me collect the star bits!!

I got Super Mario Galaxy 2, just because I'm a Nintendo freak (second time as I already have the Wii Disk)... But I really hate the "Nintendo Tax" in New Zealand...
In the eShop It cost me $17 NZD (AUS $13 & USD $10) - What's up with the increase?!? I can get $10USD steam games for ~$12.50 NZD!!

Can anyone confirm if the new WiiU "Metroid Prime Trilogy" can actually use the GamePad controls or it like the Wii Disk and you can only use the GamePad for viewing.

@SetupDisk +1
I would buy Doom 64 on Wii or Wii U VC.

@sillygostly +1
I would love Doom/II/Final on 3DS with map on the lower screen.
Too bad this will never officially happen ... I have a DSi XL with zDoom and it does the same thing but would pay for an official version.

Wario should come in classic design and Biker/Warioware Wario.

Where is my Kooper Trooper or Dry Bones?

Loved this game in original banana yellow cartridge... I refuse to get this game on VC until Nintendo implements the the "Super Game Boy" Colours and extensions as a toggle option!!

I just wanted the adaptor... but in little old NZ the are very rare.... I got at least 6 original GCN controllers so not worried there

I love that Mario Kart 8 has been brought by ~37% of Japanese Wii U owners!!

I loved my release day silver DS Phat as it was just large enough to fit my fat hands, I was soooo bummed when I dropped and broke it Christmas 2012... Replaced with a DSi XL, which fits my hands fine... Looking forward to a New "3DS XL"

Downloaded and installed this morning... cant wait for work to finish, so I can start playing... bring on the Kooper Trooper DLC pack including Dry Bones !!

Still no Kooper or Dry Bones love

Why no Retro (Yoshi Circuit (GCN), Excitebike Arena, Wario's Gold Mine (Wii), Rainbow Road (SNES)) new cup (Dragon Driftway, Mute City, Ice Ice Outpost, Hyrule Circuit) devide like all the other cups?

Bring on Kooper or Dry Bones Amiibo!!

@IxC
I've never tried to connect more than 4 Wii Remotes/Wii U Pro Controllers... will try tonight
