Animal Crossing: New Leaf will win the handheld division, Smash Bros. might win most anticipated, and everything else will sadly go to Bioshock Infinite/The Last of Us...

Anything involving the true Mega Man in an actual game (besides Smash Bros. of course) is fine by me. I'd say Nintendo vs. Capcom, but probably not.

Brilliant move Nintendo! Too bad I already have a Wii U.

Considering a new Motion Plus Miimote costs $40 alone, this is a pretty darn sweet deal.

So, will us early adopters get some free GBA games then?

If only the rest of the gaming world understood that THIS is what playing video games is supposed to mean, having fun with friends and family, instead of the "grown up man in his mother's basement" or the "hardcore competitive gamer" images that people love to shove down our throats.

I'm sorry, but releasing stress by shooting people (and the many other ways to kill in video games) in simulation isn't the best manner of cooling an angered soul. Not to say that everyone will get violent after playing something like GTA, but nonetheless if mixed with a sensitive and unstable mind, the outcome can be devastating.

Pokemon is coming out in a couple months, so anything is possible.

Fail.

I've never played an entry of the Layton series in my life, but even I could tell that this is no Layton game!

While you are at it Nintendo, can you bring out those Pikmin shorts you promised months ago? Just saying.

And once again only Japan gets the really awesome stuff. Not that I'm surprised of course.

I'll wait till I'm playing the game and then decide if I want the black outlines or not. Really nice that they made it optional.

Love the Binky and the Brain reference in screenshot caption btw!

Awesome David Attenborough impression! He's my favorite documentary narrator.

@yuwarite Well, it is Japan...

In before Super Effective puns.

About time the true Red gets the limelight in an anime instead of Ash.

I'm torn between starting a no-death run of Pikmin 3, or continuing Skyward Sword. I also haven't touched Xenoblade in a while...

Mere words cannot properly describe the awesomeness level here.

I snatched it up almost as soon as I found out. This was pretty much the only arcade game I played as a kid. At my old church there were two arcade cabinets, Pac Man (which never worked), and Galaga. It was rigged so you didn't have to use coins to play, and I spent hours playing it.

Too bad Pokemon doesn't have the same overselling power in the home console division.

Regardless, nice to see this doing so well months before launch.

Awesome work Nintendo, keep this attention-grabbing advertisement plan up.

@Alshain01 The way Pikmin 3 goes in regards to time is almost nothing at all like the first Pikmin. You can go back however many days you want and save from that point if you wanted to fix a screw up, and gathering fruit grants more days (up to 99 days in fact). A far cry from the fixed 30 days I should say.

Another unsurprisingly bad movie-based game. Move on.

Call of Duty is blamed for numerous shootings, while Mario Kart is praised for saving lives.

Just let that sink in for a minute.

Either Nintendo or Sega is fine by me.

Wha...?

The fact that the game STILL isn't out over here yet and that even Miyamoto himself is starting to give out spoilers in really getting on my nerves.

Ugh, NoA has really been failing in the extra rewards (for CN or otherwise) department lately.

I mean come on, the only Pikmin related item we've got is a tiny poster.

As soon as I saw IGN in the news title, I immediately knew it was going to be biased BS.

That's what happens when you ditch your flagship character Capcom.

Good for Sega.

I never even heard of this until it was on Game Grumps.

I was only moderately interested in this game anyway and wasn't even planning on getting it, but now I'm completely turned off.

Apparently Disney still isn't rich enough?

And everyone thought the Wii Fit Trainer was a crazy addition!

At this rate it seems like Mega Man's inclusion in Smash Bros. will be his last big hurrah...

As a video, it's pretty cool. Would probably suck as an actual game though.

Also the spring sound was missing when Sonic jumped on them.

Here's hoping for general GameCube games (Mario Sunshine, SSB Melee, Luigi's Mansion, ect.) to be added later on.

This week is going to go so slowly...

I may finally beat this game since I can save at any point with the Wii U's save features.

I don't get it. The Wii U isn't the first system to have trouble gaining a good foothold, so why is it getting the axe so much more compared to say the PS3 when it first came out?

Looks like Character D is officially dead then.

Oh well, four would have definitely been too much. Three Captains makes more sense anyway seeing how it ties in with the title.

I find the competition ironic considering the last NSMB game involved grabbing the MOST coins, not the LEAST.

Pikmin is my second favorite video game series ever (only Smash Bros. gets more love), so the long-awaited arrival of the third entry has me very excited indeed.

I MIGHT get this at some distant point, but doubtful.

So from what I've gathered from this is that the word about this game was spread around (intentionally or not) when at the time it was never fully on the cards anyway. Nice Capcom, nice...

'bout time.

Eh, good to know.

Lame. The cutscenes were one of my favorite parts of the game.
