@FragRed No season pass but that doesn't necessarily equate to no DLC. My hope is the season pass ordeal from Arkham Origins has got WB to back off the season pass concept on Wii U, and not DLC. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I pity the local co-op person who plays as this stupid dog. I have a vendetta against that dog that finally can be settled!

I really hope I don't have to scan the amiibo every time I want to use the costume. Guess I will watch video when I get home and hopefully it just is a one time unlock!

So if I scan wii fit trainer I can get a moblin flank! Woo.... Something as minor as a material or weapon or rupee is so inconsequential it doesn't seem to be worth even doing. I was hoping to see Linkle as an alt costume for link, as that would be really neat. Ah well, still hope for other games!

Hope to see a bundle of this with the new 3ds (super 3ds? Whatever they are calling it)

@unrandomsam in us ps4/xbone is 59.99 and wii u/ps3/360 is 49.99. Is there confirmation of wii u being incomplete (lacking dlc option = incomplete in my book)? People keep equating lack of a season pass to lack of content when that isn't exactly the same thing.

No season pass was confirmed but I've yet to hear definitively if there is actual DLC or not for the Wii u. Would be nice to know before release. Will likely pick this one up as my daughter and I had a lot of fun with lego marvel.

They will announce the VC release of 1 Nintendo 64 game every day for the next month!

Oh, and actually tell us some cool stuff about Amiibo!

@rjejr shhhh stop asking obvious questions 😉

I have accepted the fact that Nintendo is going to for some bizzare reason avoid the most obvious use of the amiibos: sandbox games and the like. I will be pleasantly surprised if they don't, and thrilled if they venture into sports games with them (which is my hope).

First of all I'll believe we are getting every character in smash when I see it. They've got a good two years to milk this rotating of the roster. If Amiibo bombs then I don't expect they'll go through with the whole roster.

Second, it is beyond time for an amiibo direct. $13 a pop for a souped up computer fighter in smash is a bit much. $13 for whatever this gets us in other games may be a bit much too, but without knowing what that is, we have to go on Nintendos track record which is... Not so good. Amiibos have a lot of potential, and it seems Nintendo is blowing the hype just like they blew the launch of the Wii U.

That said, I'm likely buying a half dozen total at launch and ummm second launch, knowing full on almost nothing about them. Would be great to actually know other things they will do.

@sinalefa dammit you beat me to it.

A good week though not picking anything up immediately. Hope to see a NA 20% eshop card discount like we had last year around the holidays so I can splurge!

I'm happy to hear positive news but I am also realistic: Nintendo will be the "outsider" console forever (until/unless sony or MS give up). Anyone that thinks Nintendos next console will get any more 3rd party support than the Wii U is delusional: we will hear the same excuses gen after gen. They are not actively trying to compete with sony or ms, and the last time they did (arguably) was the GameCube, and ppl hold that up as a model of failure!

@Gerbwmu best buy has a promo for it? Bah! I didn't even see it in the weekly ad!

Ordered mine from toys r us as I had some reward points saved up. It is tracking nearby so hopefully arrives today!

Really hope this comes to the US sooner rather than later!

Enjoyed the dirext and I am re-sold on getting the package with the adapter.

However one thing I did take away from this dirext is the Wii U version is not done, and is in essence being released too early to hit holidays. Don't really have a huge problem with that myself.

At least the internet didn't let me down: get mewtwo, complain. 3ds version is now garbage. All nice and predictable!

Was hoping for 4 v 4 against some online friends (4 in one house 4 in another) but still really happy to see this as 6 at once is going to be possible at my house.

Nothing for me as I have Bayonetta coming in the mail and already own the castlevania on the GBA. Hmmm I wonder if I could sell the cartridge for good $$$...

From the article:
"As Link's the only compatible figurine so far, it opens the possibility that some games will be character-specific, as opposed to supporting the whole range" Are there really going to be people going "I brought my DK Amiibo! I want DK as playable in Zelda U!1!!1!!" ? I hope not, but this is the internet after all...

I REALLY hope nobody thinks that any game, aside from smash, is going to "support" all the Amiibos! Not that Nintendo is helping with their marketing and information campaign on the subject...

As I have said countless (ok maybe 5) times, Nintendo needs to make sports franchises that utilize the Amiibo's + stock characters as the players. Do something to break EA's stranglehold on sports franchises!

Happy for the Pokémon fans, even tho I am not one. Would rather hear about the DK games coming to the eshop!

I sunk an insane amount of time into this game. Great fun, need to do another playthrough one day!

Really sad to see it took so long to come to you guys. I hope it was worth the wait.

Since I have already pre paid for hyrule warriors dlc, nothing for me this week. I will be getting the gba castlevania once my backlog clears again. (Also holding out hope for some 20% off eshop cards around the holidays like last year.

Having so much fun on this game. Lvl 99 link is almost in sight too! A bit sad to hear the master quest map is the same, but I'll get over that.

Cia has clothes now? Bummer😛

@DualWielding no DLC or no season pass? I recall reading the season pass wasn't coming but had not seen anything about no DLC at all.

My guess is this model is there to bridge the gap to Nintendos next system, which will be a portable/home console hybrid. The extra time the super 3ds (as I call it) allows should bridge the gap til both systems sunset.

@Grumblevolcano thanks I have already purchased the dlc, so looking forward to it.

For the topic at hand, I will be getting pretty much anything rare releases on the wii u VC, so will definitly pick these up. Do think it is odd that we still have zero news for n64 titles. Hopefully support will be a holiday surprise this year.

So does Hyrule Warriors DLC include Cia, Wizzro, and Volga, or is that already out and I just haven't clicked the right place in the eshop? 😒

@Ryo_Hazuki-san wow were you drawing Cia naked or something?... Oh wait, nm, it's Cia!

I am enjoying this game much more than I expected I would. Bring on the DLC (not that I've finished Adventure Mode yet, or 100%'ed Legend mode...)

The only thing that differentiates a capcom from an activision, ubisoft, or EA is that they don't have a strong franchise in a popular genre they can milk to death. It -could- have been the RE series as a survival horror game, but they kinda turned it into a zombie shooter. Oh, also Capcom doesn't start with a vowel! 😎

I thought this was a little too good to be true. Works with everything, with fewer buttons? Ah well, I will likely snag another pro controller then.

However, all of you wanted GCN games on the VC... We haven't even got n64 games yet! One step at a time!

Doesn't Zelda bounce between various hair colors? Wtb blonde Zelda!

Time to be an ugly American and gloat! /gloat

There I'm done! I am going to be spending way too much money on games this November!

Good to see others are asking the proper questions so I don't have to get out my soapbox! Nice figures that I will likely spend too much money on tho!

It sure seems like this year wasn't nearly as strong for the 3ds as 2013 (which I think will be looked upon as a stellar year in all of gaming). I may pick up Persona, but that is it for me.

I can't believe they aren't trying to get Mario Party 10 out. Asymmetric gameplay with Bowser? I was already sold!

Either little Mac or Rosalina will have to play both to decide.

Need to have a favorite punching bag poll. I have been waiting over 2 decades to beat the stuffing out of that stupid Duck Hunt dog!!!

My guess is boss pack is a boss run set of challenges bc of the reduced price.

Hmmm maybe I am alone in my love of mowing down Gorons. I'm not too interested in playing as Volga however. CIA looks like fun tho.

Didn't get to start playing til yesterday bc of travel and am having a blast. Right after I quit game for the night I brought the season pass.

@ModernMARVEL because sears is an old dying company that innovated but then failed to keep up with the times. Sounds familiar, I am sure 😊

One day I hope to be one of those people that have more money that sense... meaning I have a ton of money

I swear I have read on more than one article that this gc adapter will allow us to play Wii VC games that require a wii pro controller (or whatever it is called). Regardless I am getting this bundle!

Good I needed to save $60! Thanks Ubisoft!

I am more interested in the tracks over the racers and karts (esp since additional peach and Mario variants = lame in my book).

Wario gold mine is a great choice. I wonder what the other 3 retro choices will be. I'd love to see a few more 3ds tracks brought over as I thought mk7 had a lot of great tracks.

I really hope we get some amiibo related sports games. I dislike the hyper-realistic sports games we have now (as well as EA...) and would enjoy making an amiibo sports team. Peach, Zelda, Rosalina, Samus and Daisy would make a great basketball team with their mastery of the fundamentals. No dunking, sadly.

@rjejr Collectors Edition? For a game on a Nintendo system? I think you may be waiting a loooooooong time. Only edition like that I can think of is Arkham City, and that is because the game was out long before. Do any Nintendo games release "twice" on the system, outside of Nintendo Selects (which admittedly were pre-DLC)?

Sheesh when did a 7 get treated like a kiss of death? You'd think this game just got a 5!

Preordered this and am looking forward to playing... In 2.5 weeks grrrrr

@DiscoGentleman I still remember the Legend of Zelda rap/beatbox commercial -shudder-

Hmm I haven't played the demo enough to even notice. I just figured it would also have d-pad support. Can't believe it doesn't!

My old NES controllers (even a NES Max) still work fine, so I wonder if people are just being too harsh on their controllers.

I could have sworn I read the treehouse was going to give us WII U release date. Oh well!

I'm still holding out hope for a 2014 release, but I am personally expecting it to be post-Black Friday. I don't care when Watch Dogs launches, it will not do well on the Wii U.
