1) Majora's Mask
2) The Wind Waker
3) Ocarina of Time

Mario Maker and Xenoblade for me, for sure, then I'll probably get Yoshi's Woolly World to play with my girlfriend. I haven't seen enough of Devil's Third or Fatal Frame, but there's a chance I pick them up as well.

I'm not feeling optimistic at all about Star Fox or Mario Tennis.

I despise amiibo. I understand the appeal of wanting to own collectible figures, even if it's not something I desire.

What doesn't make sense, though, is that Nintendo games are getting gimped now in hopes that you buy overpriced toys. I'm all digital, I'm trying to ELIMINATE plastic excess from my house.

This amiibo phase might honestly be the most frustrating time for me in my 20 years as a Nintendo gamer. I really hope this software dilution doesn't last much longer.

I've never played a Mega Man Battle Network game before, but I'm interested. Is this the best one to try first?

I've put over 200 hours into Awesomenauts, so I trust Ronimo. I'll probably download this.

Calling it now, the finals will be playing SNES Remix, which will be available to everyone at the end of the competition.

Along with the stuff we already know about, I expect:

Smash DLC (with Ryu and Wolf)
Paper Mario Wii U (more similar to the first two games, but with some unnecessary twist)
Animal Crossing Wii U (expanded online functionality)
Pokken Tournament
Golden Sun 4 (this is a bit of a reach, but it'd give the 3DS content, and we don't know what Camelot's up to)
Bravely Default 2 footage

I'd love a new F-Zero and Metroid, but I'm just not going to predict it at this point.

My top three remaster choices (from Nintendo itself anyway):

F-Zero GX (best racing game ever, IMO)
Super Mario Sunshine (far from my favorite 3d Mario game, so it stands to have the most to gain)
Star Fox Assault (love the premise, just need better controls and balancing. Throw in some online multiplayer, and this could be great)

I own all of those but Eternal Darkness (which, truthfully, I'm not that interested in).

A F-Zero GX remake would probably interest me the most if they threw in online functionality.

For me:

1. Majora's Mask
2. The Wind Waker
3. Ocarina of Time
4. Twilight Princess
5. Link Between Worlds
6. Skyward Sword
7. Link's Awakening
8. Link to the Past
9. Oracle of Ages/ Oracle of Seasons
10. Minish Cap

Impressive. Every time I lose interest in the game, some piece of news brings me back in. I'm not convinced I'll like the core gameplay, but they've certainly nailed the fanservice in Hyrule Warriors.

That Nintendo is doing this hopefully means they're planning on evolving the 2d Mario format...

My top 10:

1. Pikmin 3
2. Mario Kart 8
3. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
4. Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD (would be higher if it weren't a remaster)
5. Rayman Legends
6. Super Mario 3d World
7. Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed
8. Nintendo Land
9. Assassin's Creed IV
10. New Super Mario Bros. U/NSLU

@Fireninjastar - Not too softly =P

Funny pic, though

Horrifying news. Keep NFC away from Smash Bros.

Hopefully this is just a minor, throwaway feature.

I think Nintendo needs to continue using gimmicks with their handhelds. It needs something for it to stand out from its smart phone competition. Nintendo was banking on 3d, and while I enjoy the effect, I don't think it makes enough of a difference.

Also, I prefer digital media, but it's still soon to drop physical media support completely. The next handheld will need a presence on store shelves to be seen amongst the sea of smart devices.

I'll wait until ACIV is 20 bucks, then I'll download it. It didn't take ACIII long to get there...

I never played Superstar Saga, but I've heard nothing but good things. I'm excited to play it.

I liked Advance Wars Dual Strike, so I'll pick up Advance Wars.

And even though I've played through them, I'll get Super Mario Bros 3 and Golden Sun.

Great month, Nintendo. Let's keep releases at THIS level...

With Nintendo's catalog, I don't see why they aren't releasing at least 3 Virtual Console games a week.

1 NES/SNES/Genesis
1 N64/GCN/Dreamcast
1 GBA/DS/Saturn

I really like the original.

They should bring Awesomenauts to Wii U!

... And that kills any interest I had in trying this.

It seems impossible at this point, but someday, I'd love for a Nintendo console to get the same third party support as other systems. It'd truly have everything you could want.

As for me, I have Steam and a 3DS. Expand the Virtual Console, push indies and bring on the AAA Nintendo Wii U video games. That'll be enough for me and my limited time.

I hope this isn't the third exclusive Sonic game...

A great candidate for save state abuse.

Smart words from Jaffe. You can't function afraid of failure... or else you insist it'll happen.

We need out of the box thinkers like Iwata in positions of power to see continued change in the video game industry.

I think it's time to fire whoever is in charge of VC. This is preposterous.

Abysmal week.

I didn't expect it, but Pikmin 3 might be my favorite game of the year. That or Fire Emblem Awakening.

I loved Chu Chu Rocket, so I'll probably get this.

No way this is true. How could an employee really be that dumb?

My SD card storage space is too high of a cost for a second Steel Diver game.

One of the worst games I've ever played.

@steveex

Thanks! That's exciting.

I'm a tad confused. Is this going to just be remixed areas of the previous missions, like the first DLC? Or are these arenas entirely new to Mission Mode, based on the Campaign?

We need far more Virtual Console games released per week, and more supported systems.

In addition to the consoles Wii supported, let's see Gamecube, Saturn and Dreamcast. And please, allow these games to be shared between 3DS and Wii U.

Even if there is a good game in there, it's hard for me to get past the way it's portraying women.

If I have Revelations on the 3DS, is there any reason to get it on the Wii U? Is there split screen Raid mode?

Yeah, if this is around $20 on the eShop, I'll get it there. Otherwise, I might pass on this one. Not sure I need another controller...

I just don't know about this game. I like the painting mechanic. I like that it's trying a new, nonlinear structure. But is it getting rid of the item progression I love?

It's also retreading the same overworld, a severe disappointment. One of my favorite parts of every Zelda is checking out new locations. I like Link to the Past, but don't hold the same affection for it as others do. The art style doesn't seem to be up to snuff with the rest of the series, either.

Still, it's got a lot of potential. I'm excited to see what people think of it.

Oh Super Mario 3d World. I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

This score makes sense to me. The game has aged horribly. I've tried pushing through with save states and a GameFAQs guide, but it's just SO grindy. Good for all of you that like this game, but count me in the group that says 6 is totally appropriate.

This gen's pokemon seem wayyy better than 4th and 5th gen's.

@DerpSandwich

That's what I'm doing. I put my copy up on eBay today =)

It's on sale for 7 bucks right now, so I finally took the plunge. I've played the 3DS demo before, so I had a vague idea of what to expect. It's a bit too simple for my tastes, but for the amount of content I'm getting, it's worth it.

I'll just play it while I watch my sports =)

I'll wait until this goes on sale.

I can't wait for Rayman... looks to be one of the best non-Nintendo platformers ever.

Oh good, even more brand confusion. "Only for 3DS... and 2DS..."

I can't wait to download this. I've been looking forward to it since its announcement!

I agree with Azikira.

Capcom should give a nice discount to Wii U owners.

This is the most excited I've been for a new Pokemon generation since Gold and Silver!

Nintendo needs a unified account system so badly. There's no reason my NES and SNES games can't be exchanged between systems.
