I wish Ubisoft would give us a Sailing/pirate game and drop the stupid assassin's creed story stuff. One thing I've really wanted is a next-gen Uncharted Waters game. Koei isn't going to oblige so I wish someone else would step up to the plate. Open world sailing exploration do what you want with great graphics, mechanics, and gameplay! Somebody...?

Spot on about the music and atmosphere Damien! Those are the only reasons I'm hanging on to the cart. Your reference to Secret of Mana is appropriate as I really wish it had played like Secret of Mana instead of...well, you know, being broken.

Yay! I haven't bought these yet! I almost bought one recently but picked up DKCR and Kirby's Epic Yarn instead. Glad I waited. Certainly pick them up soon at that price.

This looks great! I held out on the Shantae series until I could start at the beginning. Bought the first one on 3DS VC and am pleasantly surprised at how good it is, and it keeps getting better and better the further I get into it. Next I'll get Risky's Revenge on DSi, and so forth.

Can anyone confirm that Shantae Advance turned into Risky's Revenge?

This is Nintendo's second step towards a full tablet. Gamepad was the first, now the 2DS. Nintendo's next generation portable will be a full tablet with multi-touch and traditional controls-or maybe official separate Bluetooth controllers. Imagine a range of wireless Classic style controllers available from Nintendo.

I saw this game as how a Metroid 64 might have worked. Fun game and challenging. One problem is it wouldn't save all the collectables you had found, so when you went back into a level you had to rescue all the little creatures again. That's frustrating.

I'm sorry that's just silly. Brand protection? It's their own series of games!! If they are that scared of it, why continue making the series? Silly!

The violence in Smash isn't MK level, it's not even Street Fighter level. When the first came out they had that great TV ad with the mascots fighting it was great! Why weren't they scared of "brand protection" then?

Oh well.

Mario needs the "epic". I'm absolutely sure Mario 3D World will be fun and high quality, but it doesn't follow Galaxy properly. We need epic with amazingly imaginative GamePad use.

I'd like to see the return of a highly tuned 2D animated 2-player ALTERNATING Mario game. A return to the gameplay of Bros 1,3, World, where the gameplay is so great that it can accommodate a skillful player doing a 1 life speed run, and the back and forth of good old "wait your turn!" Alternating gameplay.

Good times!

I agree with Miyamoto. But for me it's not about creating "new" IP's, it's about using the seriously underused catalog of IP's Nintendo already has. There are other Nintendo IP's beside Mario, Zelda, Kirby, and Donkey Kong.

Mmmmm, Tropical Freeze is my favorite Kool-Aid flavour! Oh Yeah!

Let me just state that the game does look good, and it looks fun. I'll probably buy a copy. Looking forward to Wise's music too. But I'm very underwhelmed.

I'm not one of those people who were particularly looking for a new Metroid from Retro though. They have made three of them, and they do know Metroid better then Nintendo itself, but I wanted something new from them. StarFox, StarTropics, a new IP. I can imagine it gets stuffy feeling you're trapped as a one series developer.

When Retro Studios stated "a project everyone wants us to do", I don't think anyone thought they meant another Donkey Kong game. Makes me wonder who constitutes "everyone" in that statement.

Retro Studios says "Hello!". Take some time off Aonuma, you deserve it!

Well Mr. Livingstone? What about your IP? What about TombRaider and all the rest of the Eidos IP? Why aren't they appearing on Nintendo consoles as well as xbox and playstation? Don't you want the same for your IP?

I'll wager he misses the smell of blood in his nostrils.

Wonderful game. Would have loved to see Kirby's Dream Course 64 (in 3D graphics but looks the same, and same camera style. 4-players of course and lots of courses!)
And then Kirby's Dream Course Cubed (3D graphics/3D camera style but with really crazy courses like small planets, twisted pathways and gravity, and lots of great M.C. Escher type courses.)

I'm gonna say that, no it wasn't a good movie it was terrible, BUT, that's not to say the actors and whoever else involved didn't have good times making it, or good experiences surrounding it. I won't deny them that. Trouble is none of that is there for the audience, and truly never can be, because the audience wasn't there "making" the movie. I'm sure they had fun while making it, but the end product is still terrible. Cheers!

If its PD, they tried that with PD:Zero at 360 launch and no one really cared. They later released PD HD on Arcade and it seems nobody cared about that one either.
Might be Banjo-Kazoo3, or Jetpack "One"? Sabrewulf? Killer Instinct? I don't think there are enough KI fans left for it to be relevant or anything close to a system seller. New people will see the "hokey" characters, combos and blood and just say, "I already own Injustice and MK."
As far as MS is concerned "historic" could refer to Viva Pinata or Kinect Sports!

Best Double Dragon game ever made, imo. I hear the GBA one surpassed it though. I probably won't buy it for 3DS though.

I'd like to see a TBS Zelda game done in FE:A style. Hyrule Wars or something...

I actually wouldn't count out Activision slapping Destiny on the Wii U.

Looks wise the Xbone reminds me of all those consoles that tried to start up during the 32/64 Bit generation, and failed.

I'll get it when it's released on the eShop.

Someone really needs to photoshop the Warioware nose-pick finger on that Joker pic. It's just begging for it!

I'm excited.

Elite looks good. I know they have to put bread on the table in the mean time though. I just wish bread on the table meant a new Lostwinds game.

Well, unfortunately it was a true statement, for casuals and soccer moms. After two months the soccer moms were tired of it, put it in the closet and forgot about it. Why? Because they weren't gamers, they caught the fad and then the fad past. But it wasn't a virus to us or to a handful of others. I mean I went to an old folks home and they had Wii Sports night, and my local Library has a Wii day each week. So it has "stuck around" but on the whole, yes, to the "mainstream" it was a virus and the fad and ended like every other fad.

<< >> ....oh, the rooms empty.

NOOOOOOOO!!!! Not the Nintendo Channel!! I love checking up on how much time I've spent with various software!! Please Nintendo, update the Wii so the time tracker is a native app, please!!

It's the Power Rangers! Now with shiny white old people pants!

I guess Nintendo shouldn't bother making games for the Wii U, because they should wait till the Wii U becomes a success, otherwise it's too big a business risk.

Also Namco releases their Tales games for PS3 does a survey and finds out people play Tales games on the PS3. What a discovery!!!

Anyway, I don't care for the Tales series.

@Einherjar Just wanted to give you my support for your post #2. Exactly, right.

In the end I think it doesn't matter what Nintendo does, third-parties will find a way not to support them. They all seem to hate Nintendo for various reasons. Maybe it's Nintendo's quality/work ethic?

Crusader of Centy.

So this can do more then just "lay down sick beats"? If it can actually make music, as the video seems to show, then I might pick it up.

R.O.B.2.0

I don't care about these games either, but I'd just like to say; isn't it twelve to sixteen year olds who are playing these games anyway? And wouldn't that be the Wii U's market/audience? It would from Deep Silvers comments.

More of Capcom's vengeance on Inafune. Cancelling any and every game he had anything to do with while he was there.

This game should come to Wii U, and Legends 3 should come to 3DS. I'd especially be up for this game since it was armature.

Hey, maybe Nintendo can buy the prototyping and get Armature to finish it as a new Metroid game!

Speaking of the ESRB. They have become quite lax with their new digital-only games policy. Digital-only games for the most part get only descriptors and not summaries.
Lack of man power? Okay, but please at least give "T" and "M" rated digital-only games summaries as well as descriptors!

Cool, I'll definitely pick up a copy! Bought it on DSi and while short, it is great and has a high quality "indie" feel to it. Going to buy it again for my DSi XL too.

I disagree with the article. Nintendo doesn't need EA. It's the nature of the Nintendo beast. Nintendo doesn't need anyone to survive, and third-parties need to deal with it.

SquareSoft aggressively ditched Nintendo during the N64 days and Nintendo still survived through N64, to GC, and eventually thrived on Wii. All this while Square was arguably going through a post 16bit golden age.

With Nintendo surviving the loss of a huge Japanese developer I think they can survive and thrive through the loss of "EA".

Looks good, I like the concept. I'll take one copy, please.

Shame about Aliens CM. I'm sure with a little more work and the patch the PC version received the Wii U version could turn out to be the best.

The only things I could possibly imagine wanting from SEGA are...

Shenmue 3
Shenmue HD collection (should include "What's Shenmue?" demo) (eShop)
Skies of Arcadia Legends HD+ (eShop)
Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder (arcade game with no console release. eShop with multiplayer intact.)
Crusader of Centy (eShop)
Valkyria Chronicles 4 for Wii U with local co-op campaign, and competitive mode.
Maybe a new game in the "Feel the Magic" series? That was hilarious stuff.

I'm having trouble thinking of anymore SEGA IP that I'd like to see.

It's a shame. I'm sure with a little work and the patch the PC version received the Wii U version could have been the best version.

Nintendo needs to hire this guy, give him his own studio, and let him create whatever he wants for various Nintendo consoles.

Helloooo, Japan? It's a little thing called "Dragon Quest"! Whaa happened?
It must be the online aspect.

Of everything mentioned here, I'm looking forward to:
1. Pikmin 3
2. LoZ:WW HD
3. Rayman Legends
4. Game & Wario
5. Yoshi's Epic Yarn
6. Shovel Knight
7. DuckTales Re-mastered
8. MarioKart U-Turn
9. Monolith's "X"
10. Super Mario Universe

Besides Theatrhythm, and FF Versus XIII, this is one of the only SE games I've been looking forward to.

Looking forward to this on Wii U thanks.

Thanks a bunch Disney you foolish corporate entity. I was looking forward to Star Wars 1313.
Lucas should have sold the Monkey Island rites to Double Fine! How are we going to get a console release of Monkey Island 3 now?

I never understood this whole contrived competition between Mario and Luigi. I don't enjoy it either. The games were always called Super Mario "Brothers", after all.

I wonder what happened to Office Yeti.

Dear EPIC/cHair, please convert Infinity Blade for Wii U as soon as possible. Thanks.

Well good luck to him. I wonder if he'll be going after "crawler" as well?

This is probably mostly due to Nintendo and EA falling out. Most likely EA being as vindictive as possible.

The lead over on gonintendo made a perfect observation. DICE gives out this poor excuse for Battlefield 4 skipping Wii U, and when Battlefield 5 comes out DICE will say "the Wii U can't handle it.".

Regarding my previous post. I was sorely mistaken. Yoichi Wada did not create Dragon Quest. I was thinking of Yuji Horii. Yuji Horii created Dragon Quest and for some reason I thought he was ceo of SE.
