It doesn't make sense. First of all they were showing the black Wii U GamePad constantly and the first time they revealed the pro controller, it was black. The last few days of Wii U coverage that I've seen, I've seen more black than white. Can it really be that hard to launch a system in two colors?
Disappointed by the lack of what Retro or Monolift Soft is working on. Hopefully at least one of them will be revealed sooner rather than later. Overall a 7/10 for me.
Smart move. I wonder once their transferred to the Wii U if they'll automatically be registered in your account. I hope so. We'll have to wait and see.
This might be one of the games I get for the Wii U. Nice to know the Wii U is more powerful than the 360/PS3. I didn't think there was a chance in the world Nintendo would shoot themselves in the foot in that department. Now hopefully multiplats will be spread across the Wii U, 720, and PS4.
it makes sense but it doesn't really matter to me because I'd rather just have the physical cartridge. But for convenience and for rare, expensive games it's a no-brainer.
The more and more circle pad pro compatible games are released, the more and more the 3DS design becomes a 3DS design oversight. The second iteration of the 3DS NEEDS a second circle pad.
They should try to get the game running on the 3DS or Wii U. That would be a nice download for either of those systems' e-shop. A WiiWare version doesn't seem to make sense at this point for any publisher.
I've had no problems with the controls and I can see where he's coming from. KI:U is very frantic/fast-paced. You really do need the stylus to keep up.
"I've looked through the 3DS eShop and it looks a hell of a lot better than the WiiWare store." Yep, pretty much. It makes me feel very optimistic about the Wii U eShop. The rumors about Android integration is even more exciting. Hopefully that rumor turns out to be true.
I could care less if it sold 2 million or 10 million, it doesn't change the quality of the game. For me Skyward Sword is my second favorite right behind the Wind Waker. Yea a number of possible reasons for sure. Late in the Wii's life cycle, clueless people thinking its just some waggle-fest, the art style, whatever. Zelda isn't a pick up and play game like Mario and it shouldn't and never will be. I can't wait for Zelda Wii U.
Ezio showing up in Rayman? Sign me up. That game looks very impressive and it's still not in it's final form. Legends is going to be a must buy for Wii U.
This is exactly why the 3DS needs to have individual accounts instead of games being tied to the system. Hopefully Nintendo will have an update ditching friend codes in favor of accounts for the 3DS by the end of the year. We already know the Wii U will have them so that's good. For the physical vs. digital, I'm still sticking with physical game cards/discs.
that's pretty cool. However, I still only see one U controller being used at a time...Hopefully Nintendo can get the Wii U to support at least two U controllers.
E3 will be key for Nintendo. I already plan on getting a Wii U around launch, but I want a big blowout at E3 as in the total opposite of last year. For the price I'm thinking either $299 or $349. I think it's pretty obvious at this point Super Mario Bros. 4/New Super Mario Bros. Mii and Pikmin 3 will be launch titles. I feel as though they need that 3rd big first-party title. I have a feeling it's whatever Retro's been working on. I'm concerned about third-party support, but then again Nintendo hasn't had "great" third-party support since the SNES days. Whatever Nintendo has planned, I'm sure it will be will be great nonetheless.

Why wasn't this in the conference?? I definitely could have lived without Sing. -_-

Re: Ubisoft Manager Says Wii U Only Supports One GamePad
Pro controllers will do just fine. They obviously lack the unique features of the Wii U GamePad, but get the job done.
Re: Rumour: Wii U Price Reveal Coming Tomorrow
$350. Mark it down.
Re: E3 2012: Wii U Pro Controller Offers More Options
Maybe now third party devs will be more inclined to develop instead of giving excuses.

Re: Aliens: Colonial Marines on Wii U is 'Best-Looking' Version
This might be one of the games I get for the Wii U. Nice to know the Wii U is more powerful than the 360/PS3. I didn't think there was a chance in the world Nintendo would shoot themselves in the foot in that department. Now hopefully multiplats will be spread across the Wii U, 720, and PS4.

@Haxonberik Nintendo publishes it in Japan
Re: Talking Point: DS Games Deserve Digital Distribution on 3DS
it makes sense but it doesn't really matter to me because I'd rather just have the physical cartridge. But for convenience and for rare, expensive games it's a no-brainer.
Re: Nintendo Still Top of Japanese Charts Despite Sales Drop
VITA? Are you there? Rough week
Re: Review: Sonic Labyrinth (3DS eShop / Game Gear)
Yep. Wasn't good then and isn't good now.
Re: Nintendo Patents 'Ornamental Design' for 3DS Circle Pad

Loved the Gamecube; under-appreciated for sure. It was the first console I bought with my own money
Re: Sakurai: Dual Analogue Control in Kid Icarus: Uprising Was "Technically Impossible"

Re: Interview: Trent Oster - WiiWare from a Developer's Perspective

Re: Download Your Wii U Games Overnight
Not surprising, pretty much what I do for any full PS3 games I download, but I'll be sticking with physical Wii U discs anyways.
Re: Warren Spector Believes Epic Mickey is 'The Best Looking Wii Game Ever'
three words: Super Mario Galaxy

Re: Talking Point: Why Skyward Sword Sales Failed to Soar

Re: Nintendo Still Has Secret 3DS Games to Reveal
Fire Emblem, Brain Age, and a new Metroid or DKC
Re: Rayman Legends is Coming to Wii U, Supports NFC
that's pretty cool. However, I still only see one U controller being used at a time...Hopefully Nintendo can get the Wii U to support at least two U controllers.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 to Kick Off Retail Downloads
the 3DS only supports up to a 32gb sd card. I wonder if they'll have an update to go beyond that.

Re: Analyst Calls for Mario on Non-Nintendo Platforms
Maybe someday years and years from now, but no way is Nintendo letting their IPs on other platforms. CDi anyone?

Re: Dragon Quest X Wii Lands in Japan on 2nd August
The Wii U seems much more suited for an MMO. I doubt the Wii version will ever come to the U.S. or Europe anyway. But I could be wrong.

@James talk about pouring salt on the wound haha
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th April 2012 (North America)
week after week...saying there's no 3DS VC game is like saying the PSVita's struggling in Japan. It's Groundhog Day.
