Is anyone else having their Best Buy locations change on them? The Georgia ones have changed twice now, and I called the location nearest me (at the Mall of Georgia) and the associate I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about when I inquired if they would have the E3 Nintendo Experience demo stuff.
I understand the anger at Ubisoft over the whole Rayman nonsense. That said, it's in the past. Ubisoft is Nintendo's biggest ally right now. They are still pretty much all in with Nintendo. Yes, it was BS that Rayman: Legends hasn't been released yet and it's not a Wii U Exclusive anymore, but there's no use crying over spilled milk. Let's focus on the great games that Ubisoft is bringing to the Wii U going forward.
I'd also like to point out that it is a minor consolation (at least to me) that Wii U got the free Challenges App. I've greatly enjoyed it, and it's hyped me up a lot for the final product. Also, from what I gather, the Wii U will have an exclusive stealth mini game or mode or something like that. Every version of the game will have some exclusive content. I like that idea.
I'd rather get an official controller. I'll need to pick up either a Pro Controller or a Classic Controller to play the games I have from Club Nintendo downloaded from the Wii Virtual Console.
Will the Pro Controller play games on the Wii menu in the Wii Menu?
@element187 As has been discussed here, we don't know if there's a publisher yet. Signs indicate that there may be a publisher on board, but I'm not going in on that until I see something official.
I'm 100% with you in that I hope if there is a publisher, it's Nintendo. I would love to see this as a Wii U exclusive and to see Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem come to the eShop.
I can see high donor output if they reveal more about the game, but I don't think that will be able to make up 90% of the cost... They will need to look for some other options.
I really, REALLY want this game to come to Wii U as part of what I see as the console becoming the home for survival horror (my favorite genre) in this next console cycle.
Watch_Dogs looks fascinating. I see it as potentially being a top tier new IP and this first installment of the franchise being a truly great game. This bit of news makes me a little concerned that Ubisoft (a company that I really like) knows that this title won't be as good as it is being billed by fans and the media.
@Melkaticox I thought ZombiU was excellent. Just needed the glitches and load times fixed. Amazing survival horror title. Great gameplay mechanics, music, environments, atmosphere, and replay value. It was a survival horror fan's horror game.
I've not played any of the Assassin's Creed games as they look to me like too much of a rip-off of the Prince of Persia games and they seem kinda like shovelware (ala CoD) at this point. I liked Red Steel ok. I thought it got way too much grief, but it certainly was far from great.
Not a big deal. Second rate soccer (football if you aren't in the US I suppose) game.
Too much doom and gloom in these reports of games not coming to the Wii U and/or 3DS. Most of these titles that are skipping the Nintendo systems are inconsequential.
To clarify, I agree with that I think there will be a $50 price cut for the Wii U. I don't think there should be, though. Once the Wii U has tons of quality games come out through September, people will want to buy the console for $350.
Sooooooo excited! Definitely on a Nintendo high right now. Cannot wait until E3, and I can't wait to demo these games!!!
Just got paid today, I went on a tear in the eShop. Picked up Super Metroid, Mega Man, Mega Man X, Ghosts & Goblins, Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. 2, Kirby's Adventure 3, Kirby Super Star, and Kirby's Adventure.
We need games, games, and more games, so hopefully these titles will be coming to Wii U. It's also good for the console to have a broad catalog of titles that aren't all from big companies.
Nintendo should only add maybe 1 or 2 games to the fall and holiday lineup. I want to see lots of games for next year. Wii U can't survive another 8 month drought of sales like they had this year again. We need games throughout next year and throughout the rest of the Wii U's life.
Am I the only one who is filled with excitement about this game? I feel like it might be the long awaited next great Sonic game. I feel like that's why Sega and Nintendo are making such a big deal out of this.
PS4 and XBox One are running off a cliff on the graphics train. They will never catch the PC. Wii U will win this console generation by providing something unique.
We've been through this song and dance before when people wrote off the Wii for being less advanced than its competitors. Look how that turned out. Which is aside from that the gulf between the Wii U and its competitors is much smaller than the one between the Wii and its contemporaries.
On the one hand, it's the most popular AAA franchise out there today, so naturally Nintendo would want a version of every game in the library. On the other hand, most Nintendo fans and owners of Nintendo home consoles aren't going to want to play CoD. It's not their cup of tea.
I personally haven't liked CoD since I bought 3 as a launch title for the Wii, but I recognize its value in the library for the Wii U.
Interestingly enough, the Wii U version of BLOPS2 has the highest GameRankings (I use them instead of Metacritic as Metacritic will use crap like USA Today reviews to calculate their scores) score.
Unfortunately, the Wii U needs all the support it can get at this point. EA makes blockbuster games. Seems pretty logical to me that Nintendo should try to partner with them.

Re: Super Mario 3D World Coming To Wii U This December
I love it from a feminist perspective, and I love it from a gameplay perspective. Cat Mario is going to be awesome!
Re: Rumour: Best Buy's Wii U E3 Demo List Revealed

I am now worried.
Re: Lots of Sonic Lost World Wii U and 3DS Footage Dashes Into View
Wii U version looks amazing! Also, as has been said here, it looks like it's taken a fair amount of influence from Super Mario Galaxy.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th June (North America)
@Deadstanley When I downloaded Super Metroid, it was only $0.30 charged.

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th June (North America)
I picked up Xevious and Ice Climber from the Wii U eShop this morning. I have $0.31 left over to pick up Yoshi next week.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Recalling Wii U Basic Bundle
Nintendo should've learned from Sony that a crappy version of a console won't sell well.
I never even considered getting a Basic.

This bit of news makes me a little concerned that Ubisoft (a company that I really like) knows that this title won't be as good as it is being billed by fans and the media.
Hopefully, though, it will be fantastic.

Re: Pachter Predicts Wii U Price Cut, Feels Nintendo Is Losing "Non-Traditional" Players To Social And Mobile
Wii U price cut is fine, but his prediction about Wii U sales is garbage. Same with his thoughts on the 3DS.
Why does anyone ever pay attention to this guy?
Re: All Three Of Nintendo's Exclusive Sonic Titles Will Be Out In 2013
Sonic Colours 2.
Re: Get Excited, Nintendo's E3 Site Is Out In The Wild
Sooooooo excited! Definitely on a Nintendo high right now. Cannot wait until E3, and I can't wait to demo these games!!!
Just got paid today, I went on a tear in the eShop. Picked up Super Metroid, Mega Man, Mega Man X, Ghosts & Goblins, Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. 2, Kirby's Adventure 3, Kirby Super Star, and Kirby's Adventure.
Re: Rumour: Retro's Wii U Title Is An Entirely New IP
Only thing disappointing about this is that it could mean that a new Metroid game still isn't even in development. Which is totally bogus.
Re: Video: Sonic Lost World Debut Trailer Blasts Across The Internet
Looks fantastic! I have a good, strong feeling that Sonic is about to make a huge comeback!
Re: Aksys Games To Reveal Two New Titles At E3
We need games, games, and more games, so hopefully these titles will be coming to Wii U. It's also good for the console to have a broad catalog of titles that aren't all from big companies.
Re: Need For Speed Rivals Not Screeching Onto Wii U
I'm pretty disappointed about this one. Most Wanted U was great!
Re: Dying Light Set To Skip Wii U
I wasn't particularly excited about this one... Dead Island is just terrible.
Re: E3 Nintendo Direct Date and Time Confirmed
Considering Metroid Prime is my favorite game of all time, my top request would be for a new Prime trilogy made by Retro.
Re: E3 Nintendo Direct Date and Time Confirmed
@bonham2 We need Gamecube games on the virtual console. I doubt, though, that it'll be a new Miyamoto IP since I think he's retiring soon.
Re: E3 Nintendo Direct Date and Time Confirmed
Nintendo should only add maybe 1 or 2 games to the fall and holiday lineup. I want to see lots of games for next year. Wii U can't survive another 8 month drought of sales like they had this year again. We need games throughout next year and throughout the rest of the Wii U's life.
Re: E3 Nintendo Direct Date and Time Confirmed
I would love to see a new game from Suda51, Red Steel 3, and Conduit 3.
Re: SEGA Teases Sonic Lost World Characters
Very exciting!
Am I the only one who is filled with excitement about this game? I feel like it might be the long awaited next great Sonic game. I feel like that's why Sega and Nintendo are making such a big deal out of this.
Re: E3 Nintendo Direct Date and Time Confirmed
I want to see the Yoshi game, 3D Mario, Smash Bros., Mario Kart, and some new info about Sonic: Lost World.
Hopefully there will be some info on Bayonetta 2 as well. We just need games, games, and more games.

Re: Media Outlets List Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U
CoD on a Nintendo home console is a conundrum...
On the one hand, it's the most popular AAA franchise out there today, so naturally Nintendo would want a version of every game in the library. On the other hand, most Nintendo fans and owners of Nintendo home consoles aren't going to want to play CoD. It's not their cup of tea.
I personally haven't liked CoD since I bought 3 as a launch title for the Wii, but I recognize its value in the library for the Wii U.
Interestingly enough, the Wii U version of BLOPS2 has the highest GameRankings (I use them instead of Metacritic as Metacritic will use crap like USA Today reviews to calculate their scores) score.
Re: Review: Resident Evil Revelations (Wii U)
I'll be getting this on the Wii U in early June.
I'll get the 3DS version when I get a 3DS later this summer.
Love Resident Evil, so naturally I'm not a fan of Operation Raccoon City 5 or 6.
Re: EA Currently Has No Games In Development For The Wii U
EA is a pack of lying dingbats anyway. Let them leave.
Re: ZombiU Developer Hints at a Sequel, Sort Of
Best survival horror game I've played in quite awhile. That's my genre, so I thought it was one of the best games I've played in awhile.
Re: Activision Reveals Call Of Duty: Ghosts, Doesn't Mention Wii U Version
I certainly won't be buying it, but I think it's good for the Wii U to have major games like this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th April 2013 (North America)
Will Injustice be available at retail as well?
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Should Make EA Co-operation a Priority
