@AyeHaley Yes they did.

@Mahe well at least the wii u turns off after one hour... you don't know how many times my wii was left open all night.... lol

Anything with Zelda/Link in it can make it to 1 million worldwide.

My bets go to a new metroid game, so they won't be putting one on wii u for a couple of years

@Miss_Dark there's at least one cup (4 or 5 stages) which i haven't ruined yet, and 2 of the stages were showed here so i just skipped that part ^^
i don't want to ruin the fun :3

@Clandon now that's just racist calling him a she.. xD

wii is dead, without online there won't be a reason to make just dance anymore on the platform, and there goes a whole 11% of sales from ubisoft right there.

@Peach64 i was actually waiting for you to comment like that ^^

@ThomasBW84 oh i see, oh well, better than nothing ^^
this game is going to be so great, i hope some dlc comes afterwards with surprises, maybe a patch also for a 2 screen when on 1vs1 :3

@ThomasBW84 did i just read right? Can you use voice chat for 1vs1 races online? or did you mean just in the lobby?

wow, this looks a good one ^^

@PSI_King wii u needs more promotions in EU because the sales over here are really bad.

I'm in cyprus but that doesn't bother me, i have a UK account and when i buy things from club nintendo i just send my stuff to my uncle
So i can still get a free code with this game because my NNID is a uk one ^^

@SMEXIZELDAMAN this is where you are wrong, a lot of people bought mkw just for the battle mode, i know that because i have friends that only play that on online and barely even touch the grand prix games. I for myself didn't enjoy much of the battle mode in mkw so it won't bother me on here, but it's still fun to play it now and then

@Liquid_ice i know, that's why i didn't gave it a 9/10 like the other guy on top and i said 9.8/10, i actually like battle mode, but it is a little bit weird

@SnackBox yep, it's all about balance now, no more using double items (at least you don't lose your item when you fall down now, and you recover much quicker than before)
But it's a shame there's no fake mystery box and mega mushroom.. oh well, you can't have everything

@ChrisT99 9.8 because of battle mode ^^

i laugh every time i watch the ad with the horn x3

@SnackBox gamexplain said they only saw the horn item twice in playing in 16 races, so it's a rare item.

i love her videos

@bizcuthammer ikr? maybe that's why i like gamexplain's new way of reviewing games without giving them numbers. You either like it or not. 7/10 is still good, same score as sonic lost world

@Kewlan this is not a surprise actually, pokemon had a yearly release since 2009.

Pit: Nothing to see here!

@dumedum i hope your wii u burns down and you lose all your digital games!!
nah jk
I wouldn't trust digital only without cloud based saved data. Except for indie games

@ajcismo it's not only you that want those things to be available for wii u, as gamers, we do demand those features as well, we do want a unified account, Nfc will turn out good, current marketing needs to be removed and just hire new organisers from the west etc and get them to make more apps for phones, better ads instead of using kids, make the wii u more visible in the world.
As long as there is a low install base, 3rd party won't come any time soon, Nintendo can either wait and hope for these games to sell the wii u, or they need to start paying 3rd parties to make games for wii u.

@ajcismo
"On the other hand, as for Wii U, we were unable to recover the momentum sufficiently even in the last year-end sales season. We would like to spend one full year to leverage Nintendo’s own strength in order to regain momentum.

Of course, we are making efforts to continue selling the titles already released for Wii U and turn them into evergreen titles. For this fiscal year, we will release two flagship Nintendo titles that are known as games that can be enjoyed alone or with others, namely
We will release the latest installment from the Mario Kart series, “Mario Kart 8,” at the end of this month, and
In addition to the Nintendo 3DS version that I just mentioned, we will release this winter “Super Smash Bros. for Wii U,” the latest installment in the Smash Bros. franchise, which fans have been waiting for, for the first time in six years on a console. With these two titles for Wii U as pillars, we would like to create a new trend for our console game business through which we can best leverage our strength.
At the Corporate Management Policy Briefing this January, I explained that the company would prioritize making and proposing Wii U software titles that can only be made possible with the Wii U GamePad. We are planning to disclose our progress on this at E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) in Los Angeles in June.

I also mentioned at the Corporate Management Policy Briefing this January the quick start menu.

Meanwhile, “Mario Kart 8” for Wii U will be released around the end of this month.
As we introduced in Mario Kart 8 Direct the other day, “Mario Kart 8” has a new feature named “Mario Kart TV” that enables players to upload racing highlight reels and share them on the Internet.
Also, we are planning to send out videos of attractive reels, and hints and tips as official Nintendo videos.
To enjoy these features even when you are not playing this game on the console, we are planning to offer a web service called “Mario Kart TV” (temp.), which also enables users to watch videos in a screen layout suitable for systems such as smart devices and computers, around the same time as the release of “Mario Kart 8.”
This web service will enable more people to easily watch Nintendo’s official videos, view rankings, watch videos that their friends have shared and videos of tournaments in which they have participated.

To establish new and growing areas through the active utilization of character IP, it is important for Nintendo to take risks ourselves and come up with interesting ways to use our character IP.
In other words, other than using character IP in Nintendo’s video game software, we need to start a new business that will someday become one of our core activities.
As Nintendo’s first step We have decided to release character figurines with built-in NFC functionality that are compatible with video games starting from this year-end sales season.
We are calling the figurines by their development codename, NFP, which comes from “NFC Featured Platform” and “Nintendo Figurine Platform.”
What is especially unique about NFP is that it is not classed as an accessory product of a certain software title but as a platform itself.
And it has been designed to be compatible with multiple software titles for Nintendo platforms."
Looks to me that they are taking the right steps, a few years late, but they are moving on. Iwata should not be fired yet, i agree he has failed on a lot of points, but that doesn't mean he has to go yet.

@Randomname19 xD

@Tasuki well cod doesnt exist on 3ds, that's why they are making yearly pokemon games

10 out of 10!

i disagree with a lot of points from this article.

IGN: That's what she said.

not another one... i'm getting sick of cod.

maybe it's a Wii U XL! OMG I FOUND IT!

@kletro wii u can alread run 1080p games, so does with 1080p so i doubt they will do something like that, if they do they might include a dvd/blu ray player as well as bigger memory but i doubt it, not worth it.
Then i think this might be something like the 2DS. but who knows, it might be just new accessories

@Tobias95 except if you have a uk NNID and a uk Club nintendo, which is what i did and then i sent the stuff i got from club nintendo to my aunt in uk.

Nintendo UK online already has this bundle.

May you Rest in peace.

WIND WAKER FOR ME! WOO!
I already have pikmin 3 and w101, only sonic left

@IceClimbers Well said!
You sir, need to be awarded with a gold medal!

@Goginho it's mega man, what did you expect

no wii u? i dont get this post..

so... basically we're doomed again?

holy crap that 299 bundle with all the stuff in it is just pure spectacular!!
PS. I WANT THAT GAMEPAD SKIN!!

heck yeah

@DiscoGentleman it's an indie diveloper, they wont need to push it back like 3rd party.

@Gerbwmu if it becomes a hit like pokemon, i can see that going on those numbers, and even continue in the following weeks.

@WhiteTrashGuy you expect too much on nintendo to bring back all those games, maybe thats why alot of people are disappointed every year.

oh dear, all the cars have crashed :0

Cool

@DestinyMan holy crap...
