If the quality isn't good enough, postpone it for a few months and have them improve it. Don't just pass it on to the next publisher who don't care about releasing weak games; I suggest SEGA(Sonic Boom).
Win us back with just an announcement? No way. Sonic Boom didn't even look that bad until the terrible release version dropped. I'll wait for both reviews and a representable demo before I even start considering touching the case in a store.
The more they go multiplayer, the less interest I'll have in their products. Mario Kart 8 has great multiplayer, but as a single player experience it's very dull. One of the dullest SP modes I've experienced in a racing game in a long while(I'm not talking about the gameplay, that's not dull). Splatoon's SP can be finished in a few hours too, not giving much content to the singleplayer.
Nintendo needs to refocus on the SP experience of their MP games. There are plenty of MP games where the SP experience is great and full of content too. There's no need to hurt the single for the multi or the other way around, nobody cares for a barebones treatment.
Does it work through USB? If so, only a very limited amount of smartphones will support this device as most phones don't have USB OTG yet. If it's through bluetooth there will be latency between the device and phone that might be annoying. It's better just finding a good GBA, as those are smaller than this device by the looks of it.
Not a bad thing if you plan on getting a NX at launch. I want to keep playing the Wii U for the next three years and I do hope I get the games to last that long.
Happy Birthday. I'll always remember you as that character from that game on one of those Sega systems nobody I knew owned because they all had a Nintendo console.
Too bad the game is way too easy. I'm not someone who feels the need to collect everything in a game, getting the challenge just for collecting unneccessary items/collectables isn't what I want from my games. I'll be waiting for a price drop.
Definitely Fatal Frame V. Followed by Rodea: Sky Soldier not listed here and Super Mario Maker is up there too. Also looking forward to Star Fox Zero and Devil's Third, but I'm a little cautious about those. Waiting for the reviews of those two. I'm also likely to pick up Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and Yoshi's Woolly World, but I'm not getting Yoshi at release. I still have a few platformers in my backlog for now.
Art Academy is something I'd rather play with in the winter holiday season, so I might buy it then.
I haven't played Xenoblade Chronicles yet, I want to play that first before I get XCX.
I'm also keeping my eye on Skylanders SuperChargers and Mighty No. 9, but right now I'm not sure I'll get those.
I'm also gonna skip Ubisoft, because, well, it's Ubisoft(online DRM, terrible condition of games at launch, kicking Nintendo in the balls on several occasions, interesting games announced that disappoint when released).
It wasn't really better, it still only got a 47% on average. And the fact that the Wii U version was so bad is a good reason to make it up ot us with a much better game.
As far as endless runners go, it's not bad at all. But it doesn't really make you want to keep playing, so I've played it less than a dozen times in total.
@Uberchu I assume that means the lessons are more than 1-5 minutes each of just copy what the computer just did. I can't tell that from the screenshots and trailer.
This seems like a budget buy. They'll need to drop the price by half or more. I'll stick to my tablet and phone drawings in the meantime.
It's kinda strange that they're releasing this in Europe on the same day as Yoshi's Woolly World.
It's 2015. We need to go back, back to the past. Back to 1985. I don't feel the need to go back to another Lego game. I got bored with the Lego games all basically playing the same.
I would certainly do the same. I would only consider releasing in Germany, Australia and the like if sales in my other regions were sufficient to afford it.

I was tempted to buy the Wii version, but I'll hold out for the Wii U game.

Re: Talking Point: Wii U Gamers Have Been Treated Poorly By The Third-Party Retail Scene, But The System Still Brings Joy
@Superryanworld I think most of us wouldn't mind that much if we got another Tatsunoko vs. Capcom instead.
Re: Hardware Review: Awesome Super Mario Inspired Watch - Sun and Moon Miyamoto
I really don't like this. Shame, I was hoping for something nice, but it looks kind of cheap to me.
Re: Nintendo Announces Super Mario Maker Wii U Hardware Bundle
@sillygostly Only in turns as far as I've heard.
I'm getting the standard version. I can get it cheap, so I can get the mario amiibo too and still be at least 10-15 euro's better off.
Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55
Really sad start of the day. Rest in peace.

Would be great to see this in western arcades. Now if only I could still find an arcade.

They made a sequel to the NES Bigfoot game on the SNES Playstation?!

Great, looking forward to the Wii U release in July 2016. TTT2 took a year, why not this too.

Re: First Impressions: Digging Up Details on Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories
That looks absolutely horrible. I kInda lost some of my interest in this now.
Re: Natsume Promises a Return to Basics in Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories
I haven't played a Harvest Moon game in years, and it's on the not rich in third party game releases Wii U, so I'm definitely interested.
Re: Video: Avert Your Eyes, This Japanese Animal Crossing Commercial Features Shameful Groping
Thankfully, it's shameful groping and not shameless.
Re: Talking Point: E3 Highlighted Nintendo's Development Shift Towards NX, and Away from Wii U

Happy Birthday. I'll always remember you as that character from that game on one of those Sega systems nobody I knew owned because they all had a Nintendo console.
Re: Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden Fighting Its Way to the 3DS in the West This Year
Much more interest in this than Xenoverse or any of the other console DB games of late.
Re: Exclusive: We Almost Got A Wii U F-Zero Created By Burnout Studio Criterion
Thank god that didn't happen. Only Sumo Digital should be allowed to be involved as a third party studio.

Re: Rare Replay on Xbox One Will Include 30 Games, Including Classics from Nintendo Systems
The should release this on Wii U too. Most of the games are from Nintendo consoles.

Re: Mighty No. 9 Features on Wii U and 3DS Versions are Outlined
But will it be 60 fps on both platforms?
Re: Review: Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure (3DS eShop)
I really wish this had a retail release, even more so after this positive review. Other puzzle games still get them, why not Dr. Mario?
Re: Sega Is Focusing On 3DS For Sonic Boom Because It Wasn't Happy With The Wii U Version
It wasn't really better, it still only got a 47% on average. And the fact that the Wii U version was so bad is a good reason to make it up ot us with a much better game.

Re: Sonic Dash Passes 100 Million Smart Device Downloads for SEGA
As far as endless runners go, it's not bad at all. But it doesn't really make you want to keep playing, so I've played it less than a dozen times in total.
Re: Skylanders SuperChargers Melds Mario Kart, Star Fox And Wave Race, Coming To Wii U, Wii And 3DS This September
For a second there I thought this was just a racing game based on the Skylanders franchise. And personally, I would've preferred that.
Re: Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories Heading to Wii U This Winter
On the Natsume forums they say a European release is planned, with details to follow: http://www.natsume.com/community/showthread.php?s=88132159cbe0a8849c4fa7182085563f&t=3475
I hope they make it happen, and give it a retail release while they're at it too.
Re: Despite the Rumours, Nintendo NX Will Not be Android Based
Awesome. Time for a party to celebrate!

Great, another physical buy for the Wii U for me.

Darn, I was hoping for a Wii U version.
Re: First Footage Emerges of Bandai Namco's Project Treasure on Wii U

Re: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is Dashing to Wii U and 3DS
I'd rather see another Sonic platformer, despite the risk.
Re: Rumour: TT Games Currently Working On Minecraft Rival Called Lego Worlds
Finally, a Lego game where to the entite game world is made of Lego! Add in a nice singleplayer story and local MP building and I'm in.
Re: Review: Splatoon (Wii U)
With a very short single-player confirmed, it's now definitely a holiday season budget buy for me.
Re: Video: This New PoPoLoCrois: Harvest Moon Trailer Will Scratch Your Fantasy Life Itch
We need this in the west. Or else...
Re: Video: Christopher Lloyd Revives Doc Brown Role in New LEGO Dimensions Trailer

Re: Nintendo Hoping That Splatoon Will Tempt Lapsed Fans To Splash Out On A Wii U
If I've finished my backlog I might pick this up at Christmas for the right price. Otherwise not interested.
