Sensible

These polls are stupid.
Anyone who tries to say one Mario game is better than all the others is also stupid.

Pointless poll. Its been done to death.

@GuSolarFlare
I agree that the Zelda timeline is a loads of balls.

Last update screwed my 3DS. Had to go to Nintendo for fixing. They charged me. I guess they thought I was trying to do modifications or something.

Once they got the unit and realised I had done nothing they refunded me for my payment.

Still waiting on it's return though.... it's been 3 weeks!!!!

As someone who has owned played and completed all the Mario games since Super Mario Bros... This was the first thing that came into my mind when I seen the E3 coverage of this title.

Playing Mario in the older graphical style with the newer gameplay style is gonna mess with my brain.

Being honest, Im worried about this title.

My belief in Tezuka was unfailing. Until Yoshis Island on the 3DS. Which was the worst Nintendo update Ive played in a long time.

Finished it, but was ultimately disappointed in it.

Also not holding out much hope for Yarn Yoshi. Graphics are good. But initial videos havent rocked my world. Too slow.

I hope Mario Maker is good. I guess its an important title for the Wii u.

Lego Zelda would rock.
(About as much as Zelda Sudocreme.)

@KJ85 shouldn't matter to Wii U owners who like good games.

It will be popular. It will still be over rated. Like Nintendo Life did with Injustice review.

And the Nintendo hating continues it seems...

Despite the Wii U being the best home console at the moment.

At least in terms of software quality. It's cool to hate on Nintendo at minute.

If Lovin Nintendo is wrong. I don't wanna be right!

The fact that the games are doggeypoop hasnt been given enough coverage in this article.

@Mattiator i can play DKC games on my Wii U. Easily transferrable.

Sweet

Does anyone know if you can get multiple codes for multiple redemptions of these Pokemon???

@AJ_Lethal the most forward thinking consumers of all time then.

The Wii U boost seems nice, though strange, as it doesn't seem to be driven by any new compelling software.

It would be beautiful and I would love Nintendo to do it!

Even though it isn't too old. It really would be deserving of a HD remaster.

Sweet, this could be good.

Id rather stick pins in my eyes than play this.

Videogame BAFTAs are a load of dung.

I believe that no nominations for Nintendo's 3DS titles, is an indication that these awards are organised by a bunch of toffs who know NOTHING about gaming.

About as much credibility as the stupid BRIT music awards.

Iwata should have him removed.

Yoshi is the man.

I really hope that this maintenance comes with some exciting news.

@noctowl as long as you're happy.

If you want to play watch dogs buy a ps4.

I'm not convinced about thos game at all. I'll be impressed if Ubisoft pull off a good game.

Its already a cert for sales I think. Its got way over hyped.

Does anyone know how much the Digital version (of Mario Kart 8) will cost?

I would love to be able to avail of this offer, but I have two Wii U consoles and Nintendo's terrible online management means I have to avoid digital purchasing if possible.

I can't play my online games on both my consoles. Terrible state of affairs.

No thanks.

I am beyond fed up looking at all this Marvel nonsense.

@GunstarHero234 wannabe?

They aren't shoving anything down your throat.

Nor are they pumping them out at the rate Rare were.

I am a huge fan of the SNES trilogy.

But will gladly admit to enjoying the newer kong titles even more. If the 11 year old me had played Tropical freeze. I'd have had a blast.
Returns and tropical freeze are both immense platformers.

Have you played them?

Or more importantly have you finished them.
They are brilliant and very worthy successors to the SNES Kongs.

Although I now hope that Retro don't put out another Kong sequel until the next Nintendo console.

One per console is enough for me. Variety is important.

@Shiryu I find that a bit mad. These are the top 20 games for Wii U. Certainly not 20 essential purchases. Far from it actually.

@gojiguy a great racing machine?

Only "great" racing game on it at the moment is NFS.

I'm not convinced about Project Cars yet.

@Knuckles I loved the Gamecube version myself. Not as good as the godly N64 version, but still great.
Is a bit harder to master than the N64 version. I still play it occasionally.
Reception:

Nothing for me, still got Jigsaw pieces and Kong letters to find.

I don't expect much to be honest.

If it ends up better than my expectations, I will be delighted.

@Emblem please tell me where you found Digital foundry to be unreputable. A link to the article in question would be good.

Rayman Legends is a good game. Best 3rd party title on console. Which is really refreshing for Wii U.

Indeed it really would have been great if it had remained as an exclusive.

Vita has a higher percentage than 3DS.
Which seems daft.

Personally, I don't care. Nintendo still make the best games in the world.
They will not be creating games for other consoles.

I'm a football fan.
But I'm also mainly a gamer.
I don't really dig football games since the old N64 ISS days.

But this looks really, really good.

It looks like it could offer tons of replay value. Hope the Streetpass works well!!!!

@SecondServing how is he the problem with Nintendo fans?

Nintendo fans don't have to buy crap games to please third party companies.
Especially when there is so much quality software from Nintendo themselves.

@capitalism on average you buy a game every two days?

Yet you aren't getting watch dogs? You sound mental.

Project CARs isnt going to blow anybody's mind. Least of all on Wii U.

@JaxonH Ubisoft? Decent Wii U port?

Won't happen.

Are you suffering from amnesia?

@MrGawain more companies are going to struggle in this next gen for a while. The industry really is changing.

While it seems inevitable that the Wii U isn't gonna break sales records...Im not convinced that the xbone and ps4 will keep the momentum that they had from their impressive christmas sales.
I can't see them selling as much as the last gen.
Gaming industry is changing. Big style.

@beautifulstrong it has always looked boring to me. I couldnt give less of a f**k about this.

Im actually glad!!

@ColdingLight who cares? If you really want the game, buy a PS4/xbone.

Why are people even expecting a decent port? It is not gonna happen.

@Doma I'd say you are right.

Late or not. This was/is always gonna be a subpar port of a half decent game.

Best possible news for me is that this boring looking game is cancelled.

If you disagree that the game is boring looking please feel free to point out the bits that actually look exciting from what we have seen of the game so far.

@mercurio2054 no... she OBVIOUSLY lost it with Wii Fit U.

Contact the Health Promotion Evaluation Unit at the University of Western Australia and tell them that your wife is living proof that they are wrong.

Once you have done that:
Get your kids Brain Training and they will end up at Oxford and probably become Barristers.

Maybe if you play more Mario you'll grow facial hair and jump higher.

@unrandomsam This argument is now as pointless as this article was.

The point remains: Wii Fit U is a good game/tool. I believe that it can help motivate someone who is already intent on becoming fit through other methods.

If you are a fat mess, who is lying in the house and considering losing weight. Then don't expect Wii Fit U to change your life.

@HappyHappyist
First of all you mean "you're" not your.

Secondly, I have played the games.
I've played them quite a bit (as games, not exercise aids)

Wii fit has some good games and is a great piece of software. It usually sells because dumb/fat people usually believe it will help them lose weight.

I however, am a gamer, that is why I have got the software. (I bought the Meter)

I have met (and work) with fat (non-gaming) people who have said that Wii Fit is great.
All these people have been fat since I first met them and don't look any slimmer since they got Wii Fit, (in most cases they are fatter) yet they always say about how good it is.

My guess it that these fat folks have bought the game, just in order to make themselves feel better.

They may enjoy it.... but the fact is that they are still fat.

If they were genuinely interested in doing exercise they should go outside.
People paying for fitness is one of the daftest ideas I have ever encountered.

Next you'll be telling me that bottled water can hydrate you more efficiently than tap water.

FACT is: The study stated: Wii Fit is No Substitute For Real Exercise According To Academic Research.

@Nintenjoe64

I know what the balance board is. I don't know of any Bathroom scales that can detect pressure on different areas.

You are talking bollocks anyway, the Balance board doesn't have any weight measuring facilities unless you use Wii Fit.

Anyone that is defending Wii Fit U as a good weight loss tool, really needs to take a long hard look at themselves. Or even better, look out the window...

Fresh air and exercise are free and more beneficial than doing pointless activities in front of the TV.

I can finish EVERY Exercise on Wii Fit U. And you now know me

@citizenerased I have Wii Fit U, since release day actually.
I use it sometimes just to measure my weight.
I don't have scales.
My weight is not an issue.
If it ever was... I'm sure Wii Fit u would be a lifesaver.

Fact is, the game is a tool, just like a weight loss app on your phone.

I'm sure that statistically Wii U is probably one of the least successful weight loss "tools" going.

@mercurio2054 I totally agree that Wii Fit is good as a motivator.

The graphs that show your weight increase/decrease and the photographs of your face as you continue to lose weight are a great idea.

The game is a replacement for your bathroom scales, not a replacement for exercise.

@Marshi you lost 3 and a half stone through playing Wii fit U??? Good man. lol.

Can you send me some before and after pics?

I'm sure you are looking wonderful these days.

Your intelligence must have reached the ceiling, I guess you have finished Brain Training.

IF WII FIT HADN'T COME OUT, YOU WOULD PROBABLY BE DEAD BY NOW!

_{Please refrain from flaming other users — TBD}

Wii Fit U is okay as a method of tracking your weight.

But anybody that honestly thinks that doing the exercises in front of a TV is going to make them fitter needs to buy a copy of Brain Training in order to make themselves a bit smarter.
