I have nothing more to add, I just wonder the possible GC VC prices. The whole Virtual Console is already terribly overpriced IMO and GC games would probably be somewhere around 15 euros here. Possibly even more.
I'd love to buy more SNES games, or GBA games, they're just too expensive. I can't see it changing either. Discounts are also really rare when it comes to VC. I will whine about this over and over again. You can get several new-ish games from Steam with the price of ONE 20-year-old game. An emulated one. That's not right.
Mine will arrive on monday I guess Saw some of these boxes today while shopping. These plastic statues and stuff are completely useless but sometimes I just can't resist. That shell will go well with my Ganondorf. I still need a Link statue. You hear me Ninty? Zelda U Limited Edition!
I guess I would find a control scheme suitable for me. I'm still undecided about my free game though. This and W101 are my options. W101 I would like to actually buy to support Platinum but I dunno... I wasn't too amazed by the original Pikmin. Never tried the second one.
This could actually be something totally different. Don't know what though. I still don't think they will do MM remake. I don't think it would sell and "rumors" have only come from fans. Please just concentrate on new games Ninty.
At this point a temporary boost is definitely not enough. I hope MK8 serves as a catalyst like they said. If it does nothing, Smash bros. won't either. Sony as a company is also suffering big time so the times are obviously harsh for video gaming.
I'm quite happy if it reaches that target to be honest. I like their approach though. The last goals were unrealistic. Cross my fingers and hope for a miracle :/
The prices on eShop are ridiculously high and not really an option to me. I've downloaded a bunch but not one retail title. I rather buy a physical copy and sell it when I'm done. Otherwise I couldn't afford this hobby.
Yeah, I've been waiting for this. Booting the U does seem a bit slow sometimes when I just want to launch Netflix before my pizza gets cold. Good news. I wonder how much of unused potential there is still left? I bet we'll see many updates in the future.
Oh man... I've thought those Skylanders and Infinity toys look cool if I were still a young boy. But this... I can't help myself, I need these things. I also think this is unbelievably good for Nintendo. This can actually sell the consoles MK8 and Smash Bros. leave untouched. Kids love this stuff.
Even as a huge Zelda fan I'm not even remotely interested. I need news about Project Zero 5(?). Any remake is also welcome since Crimson Butterfly is the only one I've played. Loved that one.
Wii U is not a failure. It just doesn't sell for some reason. As a gamer I've been almost 100% satisfied with it and if it was declared dead today I wouldn't be mad. That said, I would probably continue with PS4 and not buy the next Nintendo offering. Gotta accept the facts.
Good to see them moving on but I'm personally getting a bit tired of pixel art and 2D, whereas horror fps was something I was really looking forward to. Oh well.
I'm very much looking forward to the Wii U version since U is currently my only console. If the delay gets massive it might be a different story since I plan to buy a PS4 sometime later this year or early 2015. I also want to read a couple of reviews before I make my mind. August-september would be ideal and even quite realistic I think.
It's quite unfair if some parts of Europe (or world for that matter) are excluded. I'm a bit worried about this but if I order a copy from UK to be sure I get the code and use my UK account on Club Nintendo it could work I guess.
For some reason I have always loved both jetpacks and playing with gravity (in games, obviously) so this seems like a no-brainer to me. Good job, dude!
This COULD be fun but obviously needs polishing. I've been interested in that TNT Racers in eShop but according to reviews there is something wrong with it, don't know exactly what but it's kept me away from it.
Wow, Wii's had a loooong run. It will also probably outsell the Wii U version which is sad. Hope they market the Wii U version well enough. It's still kinda big game.
Best news in ages! Releasing this only in Japan would not make sense at all. The install base will be small even after the big games hit the country. So at least Europe should be included like last time but I sincerely hope you US guys will also get this. Great series.
A slight horror vibe is already included in the series but I wouldn't mind seeing it being taken further. I doubt that would make the series more popular though as action is what mainstream audience wants. And a great multiplayer. Personally I would totally ignore it like every other multiplayer but it must be there for the masses that like that kind of stuff.
Good idea. The original Prince of Persia was one of the first games if not THE first game I ever played. In our basement kind of space somewhere around 1991. Man, that was some time ago.
A delayed new IP? I hope it will succeed but I don't think it will get anywhere near the big sellers. We don't even know if it's good yet. It could be mediocre and sell ok but not great.
@Kaze_Memaryu Yeah, I didn't mind the whole "making Samus a real person" thing at all, it was the gameplay that made the whole game seem like a chore. I'd like to give it another chance still. You can get it for basically free these days
I want this. Actually I'd prefer more exploration-based approach and calm atmosphere. I don't know a single thing about the original so I'm clueless for that matter
I have nothing against either one but I think they are both done with the U by now. In my wildest dreams EA would announce Dead Space Trilogy Remastered for Wii U and Ubisoft would bring some polished and properly optimized ports that take advantage of the hardware.
Both have done reasonably good job on U, I think. Most Wanted U is polished enough to be a first party product, ME3 was great and I've played like 5-6 Ubisoft titles and they've been varying in quality but mostly great.
@Goginho I also think so. Obviously the resolution is quite a bit lower but the overall style is much more appealing. Those Sheik pics are awesome on 3DS.
Slightly reminds me of Red Steel 2 which is awesome. It's a pity they won't reach their target unless something miraculous happens. I would really want to see this happen!
Looks neat. Great job. Why is the Wii U gamepad so big? I love it but it is a bit clunky although comfortable. Just... I mean this thing holds a complete console inside and its still quite compact. Yeah the gamepad screen is big but it COULD be more "sexy". At least one old man would be happy if you know what I mean.
A little pause wouldn't bring the world to an end. Maybe even try something else. Something really far out! Maybe even a game without Mario! I'm crazy I know but that could really work...
No, I can't reach the necessary level of sarcasm right now.
The best way to fight this problem IMO is to make superior products instead of endless lawsuits that lead nowhere. No way these cheap clones can make it in the market unless the chinese really know nothing about gaming which might be the case, I wouldn't know really.

@6ch6ris6 They've said before that the european rating system is a pain in the butt. I'd think that's the reason.
