@Banker-Style I already own a Wii U but those bundles are what Wii U actually need!

I'll go for the Circle Pad Pro XL to play Resident Evil Revelations and Metal Gear Solid 3D.

Even developers are angry but it's not their fault so why not buy this game? Maybe we should do something else...

The problem is games price, not system price.

Less than 10€ of course. The same levels with minor changes don't deserve any more.

Yes, this time I agree. Animal Crossing fits in 3DS perfectly.

Wii was the perfect console to have a Mario golf game and it didn't. Why? Nintendo makes no sense lately.

It's a good game but it was overrated by some websites like NL. It is just not as good as the original trilogy. If you missed it on Wii it's a good chance to have it on a portable system though.

@GN0LAUM You only got a tiny part of my message. I mean, most people under 30 years old as myself do not care much about NES games. And even if you love NES games it doesn't mean most VC games should be NES games, as SNES and N64 also exist and people also like them.

This promotion is superb, but everything else about Wii U's VC stinks:
· 50Hz for Europe
· Charge again for the same games even after being transferred.
· Games being 'redone' so how many games are they going to release? Same amount than Wii's VC?
· Expensive prices: 5€ NES, 8€ SNES, etc.
· Focus on NES games. Again.

I don't like to waste money but the watch looks very nice and seems to be high quality. Anyway I don't think this is coming to Europe.

@NL, they chose Balloon Fight because Iwata worked on it! Just listen to him...

The problem is that the games are being redone for Wii U's VC so it can take forever for a good selection of games to arrive, take a look at Wii's VC and see. And again they are focusing on NES games which most people do not care about. On top of that 50Hz for Europe.

I'm quite disappointed about Wii U's VC to be honest.

@NintendoCat14 It does not make sense, it is a slower port from the original one and PAL does not exist anymore regarding TVs.

@Mk_II Thing is 20-30 years have passed by and if you look at Mega Drive and SNES 60 vs. 50Hz game versions the difference is quite noticeable. You should play with your same old 90's TV, you used to play on that so why change now?

Shame on you Nintendo, Europe deserves better than this and we live in the 21st century by the way.

In between how many games are they going to release for Wii U's VC if the old VC only features a few N64 and SNES games?

They wanted to show what they are doing now but what they are doing now is not ready to be shown, except for a Zelda HD port and a Yoshi 2D platform using Kirby's Epic Yarn's engine. And a Wii Party.

What about third parties? I know they said they will talk about it later on but it looks like Wii U is being ignored by most of them. Or even worse, that they are going to release poor ports for Wii U.

Virtual Console: if we look at Wii's VC we see a few N64 and SNES games only and they say they have to redo games for Wii U's VC so... :S

Monolith is doing awesome as usually.

@MeowGravy Problem is Super Mario Galaxy offers not exploration at all, which is the best thing in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.

Of course they are making a 3D Mario but please, not Super Mario Galaxy again. I prefer Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine!

This one looks like it's really worth the money. I can't wait for reviews.

@TheRealThanos He would be 14 years old in 1999 when Daytona USA was released for Dreamcast. I started playing videogames when I was 6 years old or so. And Daytona USA was released in 1994 for arcades but remember there are some countries where it was released later, there are some arcades which still have these machines!

I wish Sega released its classics on the Wii U VC and maybe make a brand new racer too.

@antdickens I know what you mean but I thought pretty the same as Kirk when reading the survey results, just from the start since I read 79% own Wii U. Only 2.55 million people in the world own a Wii U. Of course it is a new system but I don't think they will sell 5.5 million units as fast as they said the would (was it March?).

If you ask me, I miss a really good and deep Nintendo game and also I think the system should be more powerful (its CPU-GPU is too slow). Otherwise this is going to be Wii 2, meaning third parties are going to go away from Nintendo users... again.

But anyway you are right too, antdickens (about survey purposes).

Wow the headline has nothing to do with Neko guy's words:
'I cannot tell you more for the moment, but it is a possibility…amongst a lot of others!'

Neutron: 'My thoughts: the Wii U is an underpowered console that lacks many features of current gen systems and does have any compelling exclusive software. Wii U will be dead this time next year, due to the launches of the vastly superior Xbox 720 and PS4'.

I would say that Wii U is disappointingly weak, not sure if it is less powerful than PS360. If that is a case, it is a shame.

I do not think Wii U will be dead next year, before that happens Nintendo would drop its price and release first party games. Wait, this is the same 3DS story again, isn't it?

I assume you cannot use your Wii save file, can you?

@Peach64 Well said!

I was laughing about the comment saying America allows for more freedom than EU... That's crazy, it's the opposite!

And by the way why did Nintendo said on this ad that Wii Remotes are not included? Can you assume they are included with Wii U? It looks like you can.

Actually I think this is even better: 'Off-TV play not available on all games' (by Shworange).

@Assassinated The advertisement is not banned, it cannot be delivered in its current form. Put the words edcomics said 'On certain games only' and problem solved. I own all Nintendo systems since Super NES, I have grown with Nintendo and I thought I could play Wii U without a TV except for specific games such as Nintendo Land.

The spot just need some kind of clarification.

And thanks for replying.

@Assassinated I appreciate that you provide arguments mostly because few people against ASA are doing that here.

What I meant there was that some games do not use all of the gamepad buttons/axis and that affects gameplay only.

My point is that Nintendo should warn 'off-TV' display applies to certain games only. If not somebody might believe they don't need a TV for Wii U, and that is something that would make a lot of people buy the console, the same people who would buy a portable system because they don't have direct access to a TV or cannot use it for themselves only. Examples were provided in my last message.

Problem is people here cannot imagine a situation where they were not forums readers.

Are there any 3DS Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed videos? I haven't found any. :S

@Assassinated All the spots I have watched this far advertises the off-TV the most. When I say 'gameplay' I mean the game itself, 'off-TV' is the way it is displayed.

Yes, Kinect was new when it was released but it was not included with the console itself unless you mean specific packs that might have been released time after. About the PS3 6-axis controller, the PS3 console ads did not focus on that and again, it's just the way you control the game, as if it uses more or less bottoms of the controller. The 'off-TV' is the way you can play, without a TV, if you know what I mean. It's a revolution as it means you can play without a TV. Lots of people don't have direct access to one, say your family is using it as the spots like to say, say you still don't have a TV where you are living right now because you just moved or you just study/work there...

It's weird that PSP still sells more than Vita. What would we think if DS sold more than 3DS?

@Assassinated Your examples are:
a) game gameplay: of course it is different for each game.
b) accessories that were launched after the console itself: no way you can assume all games are compatible with them.
On top of that, ASA says this is a new device so of course you can assume you can play without needing a TV when you watch this spot. And most importantly, the OFF-TV display is the main selling point showed on these spots.

Keyboard for Monster Hunter Tri (Wii) was soooooo useful. People without it were not able to communicate properly or had to stop still for a minute to type in using the Wii Remote. On top of that, Wii Speak -that I bought- was quite useless due to its low sound processing quality.

Assassinated: 'Is it misleading to not be able to shoot throwing stars in a Mario game?' Have you heard of common sense?

@TOMBOY25 That does not justify TV spots being misleading.

You should be worrier about giving some depth to the gameplay and visuals than what city would Ubi choose this time.

Lost of ads would be misleading if it was not for their tiny explanatory texts. Problem is, people don't have time to read those tiny texts in the few seconds they appear on-screen, and that should be regulated too.

I think ASA is absolutely right (just read their text). Besides, Nintendo has admitted is up to developers to use off-TV properly or not and that they cannot control that.

The funniest thing is that Warren Spector said that Epic Mickey was one of the very best Wii games and that the camera was good and critics were exaggerating when complaining about it!! I bought the game, the gameplay is bland and the camera is the worst I've ever played with. And what do they do? An even worse sequel and a broken 'Castle of Ilusion' version.

I don't understand Guillaume Brunier's words the way you do, Damien. But anyway it's quite likely that Ubisoft will develop ZombiU 2 as they did with Red Steel 2. Let's hope they make a better game if so.

Normal stuff here.

I own the European 3DS digital version and I'm happy with all its content, but this could be a downloadable goodie too.

I already own Resident Evil Revelations (one of 3DS best games) but I'll be happy to download Super Street Fighter IV as I think it's a perfect game for short gaming periods. Same thing for RE The Mercenaries 3D. Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate would also be very handy in the SD. I can't wait for them.

The problem is that if you cannot make a game with less camera issues than the first 3D games ever created you should not release them until you find a way to make it decent. Bugs, lots of camera issues, nasty frame rate... The game might be beautiful but beauty is not enough for games.

It does not make much sense to me.

NL: 'It’s unclear whether Spector and his Texas-based Junction Point Studios will continue working with Disney'. Those would be excellent news indeed.

@X-Conor-X Because Epic Mickey 1 was nice except for the disastrous camera which is the worst I've ever played with.

Yes Andy, this is a must buy for me. It looks much better than New Super Mario Bros. U.

Great news!! Can't wait to play my Wii VC games on the Gamepad.

@WaveBoy I totally agree with you but you forgot to mention its very short length.

NL, I think it's cool you still play old games. I want to play golden Rare's Starfox Adventures again as soon as possible. Right now I am enjoying Professor Layton on 3DS.
