Based on the 1st party titles they're releasing this year, they're playing it safe, as it's a sure-sale (and I'm happy no matter - loved Mario 3D Land and DKCR, I'll be buying a Wii Fit title for the first time, as well as my first Pikmin title. Along with all the Ubisoft offerings - save for Just Dance 4 - as well as and Deus Ex, I'm gonna be busy for the rest of the year, and most likely I'll be buying more than just all that)
...and this isn't even including digital content. Speaking of which, Nintendo has been in contact with over a thousand indie developers since GDC - this will probably be the best chance to get IPs unique to Nintendo consoles, so support the indies.
This is a very smart strategy for the remainder of the year - video gamings three best selling franchises are all representing - the real hardware sellers. Next year, there will be a flood of games.
I think the music in the X trailer really clinched it for me, but I enjoyed a bunch of these titles. Very interested in future Nintendo Directs this year (sounds like we're going to see the new Zelda revealed this year sometime, and what about Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem? There's also a bunch of 3rd party software we don't know about yet)
@Williaint Dude... you nailed it! Two Calgary locations confirmed (refer to post #157 for the list of Canadian Best Buys) I live in Medicine Hat and my holidays start on June 15th, and I'll be travelling to BC that weekend...it's perfect.
He's definitely trolling everyone. Like when I went off about selling my copy of EarthBound for 25 bucks, to go toward my purchase of Family Party: 30 Great Games Obstacle Arcade....people thought I was serious.
@XCWarrior the words decorous, proper, and respectable are common synonyms for decent; indifferent, middling, and ordinary for the latter...how's that the same? The game received 8s and 9s facepalm
Whatever it is, it won't feel like a Rare game. I'm guessing Killer Instinct, since the Xbox One actually has a dpad made for 2d-plane fighting games now.
@Savino If anything, they'll reveal footage of the new Mario Kart; I'm doubting any game announcements that we don't know about (that'll be saved for the next ND)
Nintendo confirmed there'll be at least one more Nintendo Direct, just before E3 (that's gonna be the big one, ladies and gents) this one is going to cover the summer lineup for all things WiiU - come on, Deus Ex release date!
CryEngine 3 on Wii U; looks pretty darn good I must say. Hopefully the kickstarter keeps up its momentum...on the other hand, what if the kickstarter fails and Nintendo contacts them about fully funding the title? This kickstarter ends just days prior to E3, maybe that's why Nintendo's in constant contact...a plan B.
This is a popular game among the nes reproduction scene - glad we may get an official localization. I'd also like to see Gun-Nac on VC as well (the game is expensive on ebay!!)

Re: Rumour: Mario Kart 8 Coming To Wii U in April
@Yoshi3DS Hmmm...you might be on to something here! But it'd be March 25th (or perhaps April 1st) since Tuesdays are software release days.
Re: Project Sweat Could Come To Wii U if Stretch Goal is Reached
This kickstarter so far hasn't made much impact - it's currently only trending toward 13% of its goal. (still too early to tell for sure though)
Re: Frog Suit Confirmed For Super Mario 3D World
This isn't true at all - they misheard what was said onstage at the media event right before the showfloor opened:

Re: Microsoft To Announce Sequel To "Historic" Rare Franchise At E3
@XCWarrior actually Viva Pinata was quite decent

Re: Road Redemption Developer Has No Legal Worries Regarding Road Rash Comparison
The kickstarter is only at 71% of it's goal with only three days remaining...perhaps there'll be a spike in donations come payday?
