Both the 3DS and the Wii U Epic Mickey 2 games are crap.

Peach64: 'The hardware numbers are:
360 = 1.4M
3DS = 1.25M
PS3 > 600K, < 650K
Wii = 475K
DS = 470K
Wii U = 460K
PSV > 200K, < 250K
Great sales for the DS. I just hope Europe picks up too. There were some great price cuts and great offers on during December so hopefully a lot of new people came on board.
Xbox 360 is now 2.7m units behind the Wii's overall sales. I wouldn't have thought that was possible 2 years ago'.

This means Wii U is not starting good in USA, only selling more than the crumbling Vita.

@cornishlee Me too. And it's not accurate at all as a term as no application kills the competition.

I think I'm going to make predictions based on what it has always happened and sell them for 4500€.

About discs, I'm still not sure if buying digital or physical games for Wii U. I feel that digital are more convenient but also ridiculously expensive.

Question is what's the point in releasing ME Trilogy for PS3 and Xbox 360 and ME3 for Wii U at the same price? Of course Wii U's ME3 version is going to sell a lot less.

This is a good idea because it's not enlarging the size of the device as 3DS third parties batteries do. The only thing that we need is some reviews and to be able to buy it in Europe.
By the way, I don't think this can cancel your warranty, makes no sense.

@Miss_Dark I totally agree with you.

@Shiryu I think a trilogy will come to Wii U eventually.

How you like to play with words, NL!! Sometimes it is too silly though.
The game is superb but there are two stories that are missing here...

Wii U is between this and next generation so the support it will get from third parties in uncertain.

After 17 years making Pokemon games, couldn't Game Freak have hired somebody that knows something about graphics and hardware optimization?

It's not a threat, it's a way of saying if you hackers hack the 3DS go to hell and forget about my games for your nice hacked console.

I did not really enjoy the demo so no interest from me. I need proper adventures on 3DS.

@X-Factor Yeah, 3DS is not being properly supported lately and some of the Nintendo games were disappointing: New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Paper Mario Sticker Star. I wait patiently for Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon.

@Collinhall NSMB2 is basically a bad remix.
@WindWakerLink I know what you mean but the Wii port was so poor, let's see if we can see a better and digital port on Wii U.

@CowLaunch Then I shouldn't have downloaded the original version. I won't be able to be successful.

When are they are going to release a digital version of Super Mario All Starts? I think it's super cute.

@CowLaunch Why?

The best of videogames websites (and magazines when Internet was not part of our entire lives) is that you can know which games are crap and save money and time!

@luminalace I can't understand why Nintendo does that on eShop and on Wii VC too, it's senseless.

@Geonjaha You are totally right. Super Mario World cannot be better. I am still waiting for a game as perfect as that!

@KnightRider666 you are right and same for the Wii VC games, it's a shame.
@GeminiSaint I don't think I managed to beat World 9. I am not sure that I did the right thing downloading this, I'll try but I don't know how far will I get. Not so good and patient player anymore and the recent NSMB2 was like playing a game for subnormal people (the offence is to the creators not to that people, please) so I might be even worse after that.
When the next, SMB2?

I played this on Super Mario All Stars (SNES) for the first time. It allowed to save after each phase and I managed to finish it. I found it very difficult but the graphics of SMAS are so cute that the challenge was worth it. Now I downloaded this from the eShop, let's see if I find a reason to try to complete it. Also, I feel I was a better player as a child than as an adult, talk about frustration.

I need some ports along with new games. They can't hurt for people who does not own PS3 nor Xbox360.

Cool that you can play on the GamePad.

I can't wait for Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
Don't disappoint me, Nintendo!
Happy 2013 to everybody!

Piracy is always bad. Bad for developers, bad for artists, bad for small studios, bad for the customers that pay and support the games and bad for the industry as the developers do not risk that much if piracy is stalking.

Only good for the thieves that get free games.

I am European and I think it's a shame Nintendo did not release this game in America, same story for Disaster: Day of Crisis, which is one of my Wii favourites. Nintendo almost did not release Xenoblade in America either.

@SkywardLink98 No.

Do the Wii U version support GamePad microphone and USB keyboards?

@CouchPotato, NO! Just play anything else!

Prices should be lower for retail games, but also downloadable games are ridiculously expensive. Companies should realize.

Is it GamePad microphone and keyboard compatible?

As an extra is good, but games need good level design. NSMB2 was disappointment but now I want to give NSMBU a chance.

The game is crap but I feel like having a child now... So tender!

I downloaded Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels (SMB2 in Japan) but I am still waiting for SMB2 and SMB3, the real great NES Mario games!

The NES games look great on 3DS.

@Nintendo Life: 'The video has been mocked all over the web, but in our opinion it represents Nintendo fandom in its purest form: unadulterated and unbridled excitement.
Did you unwrap your Wii U on Christmas day to similar scenes? Let us know in the comments section below'. I agree, we just live in a repressed society and are even more shocked than the kid himself.

I was veeeery excited when I got my Super NES and later on my Nintendo 64. I was excited with the GameCube and even with Wii, but that was a bit different. Let's try to make Wii U purchase a bit special, but it is going to be difficult, no Super Mario 64 but a 'New Super Mario Bros.' instead.

@MarioKenny1992 I agree with you, Super Mario 3D Land is better than New Super Mario Bros. 2. And yes, I realize NSMB2 is not the worst game, it's just the biggest disappointment.

@Ideal_Hero If you liked NSMB2 you really should get New Super Mario Bros. U.

@theblackdragon LOL so why did you choose Kid Icarus then? The only problem with that game is the control though, while the problem with New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the game itself.

Why do you deal so bad with appropriate criticism?

@theblackdragon

Resident Evil Revelations
Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater
Mario Kart 7
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Professor Layton
Fallblox/Crushmo or Pullblox/Pushmo
Fluidity
Virtue's Last Reward
Colors 3D
Kid Icarus Uprising

You are not doing us a favour telling Nintendo a game like NSMB2 is good...

New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the worst Mario game ever, you only recommend it because it has the word Mario on the title but actually is a shame that you do...

This one looks very interesting indeed. I think we are going to see it on the Wii U and that would be great.

Wii U still does not have 10 essential games even though with the PS3-Xbox 360 ports. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is possibly the greatest surprise of the lineup.

Very few Wii games this year. Not only that, same for Nintendo 3DS, and huge disappointments such as New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Paper Mario Sticker Star. I can only hope 2013 is better for games.

This means new Capcom game is going to be Mega Man.

Done. Asked for Resident Evil and Street Fighter, and Resident Evil going back to survival genre.

You cannot buy drugs (tobacco, alcohol) at 3pm if you are minor but you can if you are adult, why don't they let the parental control be the filter? It's much more effective than a timetable that any minor can break as soon as their parents drop their guard.

She is not irate. I think the cultural differences make you see her that way. These loading times are way toooooo long. Even Iwata say so.

@DrKarl Oh, let's hope somebody answers! I really love the Gamecube controller, I think it has the best grip ever.

@DarkKirby Hey remember, according to Warren Spector the camera was good!! LOL

Problem is Activision did not give enough time to Eurocom, the game was not as good as expected, specially after the great Goldeneye Wii and Activision closed this wonderful developer down. Shame on you. Everything about the money, that stinks.
