Taffy

@electrolite77 a game which can not connect to friends online, bugs including assets not loading properly in-game isn't what I would call nice. Although I agree Nintendo buyers don't tend to buy 3rd party games (I still remember reading the comments on this site about Splinter Cell: Blacklist not having local multiplayer as a reason not to buy the game). I'll hold my judgement for when Skyrim and Doom release cause they appear to be more complete (yeah I know some features are missing) compared to Fifa

Chrono Trigger is only available on the Wii VC, have been meaning to get that. Hey NL, why not make a video of the most essential downloads on WiiWare and VC before it closes down. I don't have the time to browse the the menus cause it is so slow.

@Quorthon Nah I was all about the Wii and 360 last gen, traded them both in for the Wii U

Have to be honest, I've pre-ordered the Batman Arkham Knight console bundle for the PS4. If this does come out on Wii U I doubt I'd get it, not because of graphics or anything like that but simply because there will be more people online for the PS4 so I can play the modes I want. Can only play free-for-all, team death match and the odd bit of search and destroy on the Wii U for Black Ops 2 :

I want Chase McCain to be the new character

Does the Fusion link work on this cause it doesn't work for me :

@XyVoX Please change your avatar I've been watching it for 15 minutes straight now, I'm also crying a little inside that Miyamoto can't think of a way to make an F-Zero for the Wii U

Would it be too much to ask for there to be 4 on demand, demand 5 and ITV player. And I still find it unacceptable that EVERY other current gen consoles, which launched after the Wii U, get the BBC Iplayer before the Wii U. And to think the Wii was the first one to get the Iplayer in the last gen.

Everyone has already listed what I would like to see but I would add that I had a good time with Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands

I wonder if that 3d Disney movie will be released outside of Japan

Have to be honest, I got the 3DS for the purpose of Super Street Fighter 4 3D. First ever console I owned was a SNES and first game I ever got was Street Fighter 2 so just seeing that just tugged on my nostalgia strings. Have to say I don't regret getting the 3DS or this game.

This doesn't include digital sales which have also been on sale a few times on the 3DS Eshop so total number COULD be close to the 2 million mark.

Blah Blah Blah... When does Zero Mission come out!?!?!?!?

@Peach64 I get what you're saying but the classification over here in Europe is notoriously difficult, we've heard many titles delayed over here because of it.

@sub12 I agree with you, so many people here are quick to blame UBI or EA for the poor sales of the Wii U yet would not dare speak foul of Nintendo. Remember when they said they were all about the core gamer and launched with Nintendoland, and New Super Mario Bros. U and then we have UBI release those casual games like ZombieU and Assassin's Creed 3 (yeah I know they did Just Dance too).

People need to realize that Nintendo fluffed up just as much (if not more) with the Wii U. From a poor first party software offering at launch (even though they said they learnt their mistakes from the 3DS launch) to lack of advertising for the system or it's games. Case in point when I'm watching Sky or BT sports all I see is adverts for Halo MCC or Sunset Overdrive AND NOT ONE ADVERT FOR SMASH BROS (3DS)!!

better get to 10,000 vr on mk7 before it gets ruined

Never played the VC version which I downloaded so might as well get this one, find it a lot more convenient to play this on the 3DS then on the Wii U

The music in this was just brilliant!

The best thing Nintendo instead of a price cut is to show why the system is worth $299.99 by providing software AND services to attract consumers. Reggie mentioned once on an IGN article that they are not just competing with the likes of Apple and Sony for games but also the likes of TV and books as they are an entertainment company.

They are doing a good job with the software from a first and second party basis and to be honest with you I have little faith in third parties across the board at the moment seeing as they are more focused on pleasing consumers by talking about resolutions and frame rates for their games rather then take about the actual games they are making.

I think Nintendo could one up the competition by still being the only one to offer a system with free online Multiplayer but also be a competent Multimedia device. The gamepad is a perfect tool for reading books and comics and how about more streaming features such as HBO and some other streaming services from the States and getting the Iplayer, 4onDemand and Demand 5 for the UK (and also any other catch up channels that other European and Australian countries).

So does that mean Treasurenauts isn't coming then?

@SnappyJon More like the player count went down on it after MK8 came out. I went on it after downloading the update and the numbers are still the same, 1.1K. And let's be honest this number is tragically low, that's why I've stopped playing it cause I just got bored with TDM and FFA, now I just float between MK8 and Mass Effect 3 for my multiplayer fix

More gutted that Ultra Street Fighter 4 isn't coming to the U if I'm honest

Kind of the opposite of what happened with Splinter Cell: The Blacklist, although back then there was a few shouts about Ubisoft being lazy

I want to play Mario Kart as The Stig..... Some say that he is immune to blue shells!

In other news, Europe still waits for TVii

They should bring the Darksiders collection over to Wii U just like the PS3 and 360 have, that would be a good start... oh and fix the game crashing and god awful framerates

c'mon battalion wars 3 fingers crossed

I'm still enjoying Black Ops II at the moment, but the maps are starting to get stale after 2 years. I would be tempted to get this if we had the same DLC as the other platforms cause the new maps do help keep the game fresh and interesting, I put so much time in Modern Warfare 3 on the 360 cause of those new maps and spec op missions.

The Tiger Woods games have been on the decline on the home consoles so a Mario Golf game on a handheld isn't really going to set the charts ablaze. And has there been any advertising for it?

In all honesty if Nintendo aren't going to support the Wii U then why should anyone else.

Why do I say that Nintendo don't support the Wii U:
1) 3 months between DKC: TF and MK8 would be fine if there was third party retail support to mitigate this
2) They said they learnt their lesson from the 3ds with the software draught... they haven't (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/129287/Iwata_Bitter_lesson_learned_from_slow_3DS_launch.php)
3) Wii U is all about the core that's why we've had to wait 2 years for their first online competitive game (Wii U sports doesn't count if I'm in Europe and can't play against someone in NA) - http://nintendoeverything.com/reggie-on-attracting-core-gamers-to-wii-u-third-party-games-supply-chain-nintendo-power-and-more/

And before people start saying I hate the Wii U or Nintendo, I only have a Wii U and 3DS. I want Nintendo to do well for my own sake.... I WANT STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 3 ON THE WII U!!! But we all that's not going to happen with the direction Nintendo are taking with the Wii U at the moment

Even if it does come to Wii U it's not going to get any of the DLC or Elite. Don't get me wrong I'm enjoying Black Ops 2 but refused to buy it brand new when I realized that we weren't going to get the same support as the other versions. Why should I pay the same price as the other versions when I'm getting the inferior product.

@Dragoon04 Just like what Activision do with Call Of Duty? Anyway all I've heard about is single player and Escalation mode but I really enjoyed the Multiplayer in FOC (apart from the over powered Scientist). Is this going to have competitive Multiplayer as well?

@uneek The Zelda bundle had some designon the gamepad but that was it, the lego city bundle is similar to this though

Mk_II said:
I'd love to see a Rogue Squadron HD for Wii U

THIS!! THIS!! THIS!! THIS!! THIS!! THIS!! THIS!! THIS!! THIS!! THIS!! THIS!!

I got a better idea, instead of GBA games why not put Gamecube games on the Wii U VC like alot of people wanted in the first place. Or atleast SOME N64 games, am I really being unreasonable in my expectations/wants?

In all honesty.... he's right. If you compare the aesthetics of the Wii to the Wii U, the Wii is a much better looking piece of hardware (especially held vertically).

Out of all the current gens the PS4 defo has the most "sex appeal" (again I'm pointing about aesthetics) this generation which is no doubt helping with it's sales cause it is still more expensive then the Wii U.

Sony have done a really good job this generation with their hardware, no doubt about that but I'm sticking with my "ugly" Wii U

I'm seeing a few comments like "oh but it came out 5 months after the original versions" to which I ask why did Mass Effect 2 and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion sell so well on the PS3?

@AcesHigh73 Shame you're missing out on Lego City then, one of the best games on the system which actually uses the Gamepad to add gameplay functions to it

@mch The two big hitters I was referring to are MK8 and Smash (which is going to sell more on the 3DS). I'm pointing out that X and Bayonetta will not increase the install base enough to combat the onslaught the Wii U is getting from the PS4.

And let's not forget that the Wii U had 1 YEAR HEAD START over the other consoles yet they are not suffering from the consistent software droughts that have become standard for Nintendo since releasing Skyward Sword on the Wii!

" Nintendo's hope will be that by this time next year its home console will be on an upward trend and securing solid sales; there are big-hitters on the way to try and deliver that end result." - two big hitters, FOR THE WHOLE YEAR!?
!
Don't tell me that Bayonetta is going to sell like gangbuster when the original didn't exactly shift numbers on 2 seperate platforms with a combined install base of 100 million +, and don't kid yourself that X will do the same either. It'll sell decent but it'll struggle to hit 1.5 million.

Boy did Mario Galaxy have one of, no... THE best soundtracks ever!!!

@SanderEvers And Mario, Link or Samus will not go to those platforms either. This is referring to a MULTI-platform game coming to the previous and current console by the competition but not the Wii U console.

This is News, good or bad, news is still news and NintendoLife should report it to us as such

As long as there isn't an octopus in the game.

I would go all digital if the Wii U had bigger storage... I know, I know I can by an external hard drive but the other thing the gets my goat is that it's not 100% reliable. You can't get Darksiders 2 anymore on the eshop and I got Batman: Arkham City at a steal compared to the price to the price it still has on the eshop

A part of me is really hoping the reason they worked on the fur so much was so that they could use it for Starfox

Love how some people here are blaming everyone BUT Nintendo for all the bad sales. If it's not lazy developers it's biased journalism.

There are other factors to take into consideration but without a doubt Nintendo takes most of the blame. If they'd actually advertised the thing at launch it might have helped, atleast Sony and Microsft got that right. During the Christmas period it was choc-a-bloc with PS4 and Xbox one, and the only Nintendo adverts I saw was for Pokemon and ONE (I can actually count how many times I saw it) for Mario world.

But no, good job Nintendo you've done nothing wrong at all that's why your system is selling like hot cakes and you have LOADS of third party support, these "journalist" at Nintendolife should be ashamed for reporting facts!

All these people getting a mardy over Highmoon not doing the game seem to forget that they did Dark of the moon and Deadpool, so it's not like they have a perfect record either.

And this is NOT a movie tie in but bridges the gap between bayformers and the cybertron games. I think I'll make my mind up about the game when more information comes out rather then make my purchasing decision because a studio with a spotty track record isn't making it!

Wow that's sucks bra! Dem lazy third party developers not supporting the console, cause Nintendo has published and developed tonnes and tonnes of games for it, and on top of that they've been releasing loads of VC games for the Wii U too.

Nah Nintendo's kewl, they've done nothing wrong at all with the system. Let those lazy developers put DLC on the other crappy consoles cause nobody buys third party games like they do on der Nintendo.

Now I'm going to go back and play Splinter Cell Blacklist with all 98 (that's right 98) people online, cause we love that third party support!!!!!

*waits for some plank to complain about lack of local co-op in the game

Which of these games would I like to see on my Wii U... NONE OF THEM!!! Which ones would I like to see on my 3DS... Any and all of them!

kewl, just like the gba games you mentioned over a year ago

IF we get a Direct this month (getting close to the end of the month and still nothing). Let's have a bet how many times Iwata says "please understand!"

1 time - 10/1
2 times - 7/3
3 times - 4/1
4 times - 2/1
Too many times to even care anymore - not listed

@tanookisuit So why is the PS3 outselling it then?
