It's been a year now. I wonder what's happened to the game.

But.. But.. Americans like physical things too...

@Metaknight_3Raw Looking at all the new comments you can really tell that the player base is nearly split in half.

I've been meaning to pick this one up at some point and a cheaper price only makes it more tempting. it's a shame some castlevania fans feel this is a dumbed down experience in terms of difficulty, but I think anyone could enjoy this games exceptional use of 3d if nothing else.

Ya know I really wonder how they go about determining the interest for the game on a given platform. Install base? Demographic? Yeah because it's obvious that those are the only things that determine interest...

That's pretty cool. There might be some hope for a western release of the game yet, but seeing as this is a japan announcement I'm probably just getting my hopes up for nothing.

So um.. when are Nintendo gamers gonna not be left in the dark anymore? Is this fun to the publishers or do they just think of Wii U as that little side project someone mentions/notices every once in a while?

@TrueWiiMaster Unfortunately or considering DLC practices; perhaps fortunately in some sense; not. Been the same story since Wii.

Here's a few shovelware titles. Good news: Call of Duty Ghosts is coming to Wii U just like BO2 did. Guess what? We won't port any DLC over because you're only worth the initial buy in. -Activision every year.

When I get a Wii U I'd like to say I'll pick it up, but I seriously do not want a- and excuse my language- "half-donkey" version that lacks the DLC. Even if there's a pack or two that I decide not to purchase I at least want them to be available. This has been a problem since the Wii era and it needs to be fixed in this generation.

To be slightly off topic. I think I would rather have a new Red Steel....

I wanted the soundtrack ;'''''{

The tile PRINCESS
okay read it a 3rd time and saw the "of this game"

I totally agree. Wind Waker has an enduring art style that wasn't really in need of an upgrade. Playing it on 3DS however would've been a joy. You also make a very good point that an upgraded Ocarina of Time would've been much better suited to Wii U. Though I think people would clamor more for a Majora's Mask HD. You summed up how I feel about the Zelda remakes better than I could have.

It's been a while since I've followed the series, but it's disappointing for any fans when such games don't make it to their respective territory.

I think your idea of little 3rd party support for 3ds is odd. In the first place the original DS had plenty of great first party titles and many obscure titles as well as was a driving force for the JRPG genre. I believe the 3DS is floating the same boat. Plenty of third party support from many of the same who supported the DS. The Wii really didn't have a support structure like that, not that it wasn't successful anyway. The problem with Wii U in my eye is that it has very few games coming in the next 3- maybe 4 months and the install base may not be large enough for software to reach sales numbers 3rd parties such as Ubisoft that are currently supporting it at the moment are hoping for. The kinds of games that a home console supports are different; however slight, than the experiences on handhelds. I just don't think it'll be so easy for Wii U to gain traction given it's circumstances. I don't own one yet though so it's hard for me to imagine just exactly what it would mean to support the system. (Honestly I think my thoughts are all over the place so hopefully I got my point across)

@readypembroke I agree with your statement. According to EA gamers don't own Wii U-s or maybe Wii U isn't for gamers.

@Yorumi This is because the Wii U severely lacks in content. Come holiday season Nintendo will have their games out, but there's next to nothing filling the gap between now and then. At the moment we don't even have an idea whether Ubisoft has anything planned for Wii U in 2014 let alone something akin to a ZombiU or Red Steel sequel.

The lack of support from just about every third party disgusts me. It's hard for me to even see the Wii U as a game console right now and that's a damn shame.

@Trippinator That's part of my point.

Some of those Let's Players are obviously desperate for money if they decide to stop producing videos simply because they can't make money off it anymore. I would be more than glad to have revenue by playing and giving commentary on games, but you should never do it just for the money. That's how I feel anyway.

I think it's a definite maybe. All but one iteration came to the original wii so we can only see what happens with the games this gen.

Getting noticed will be difficult if not nearly impossible. The games they announce will catch the attention of those who have played nintendo before, but how will they maintain a relationship with the consumer (in particular new consumers) after that? How many people are going to sell off their Wii U when they're done simply fooling around with just a game or 2 that's caught their attention?

Monster Hunter needs some love

To be honest I am definitely not a fan of this whole subscription fee and coin earning stuff. Perhaps at this point in time I'm a bit ignorant of the service, but I doubt I'll grow to appreciate it :/

Will definitely be purchasing one of those consoles when/if they arrive here in Murrica. And they better...

It's been a while since I was a sonic fan so I'm not sure why this is appealing to people. Not that it's a bad thing, but maybe I need to play some good sonic games or something :/

I do enjoy Kirby, but for some reason this and the older games don't appeal to me much.

I think the game that caught my attention most was Game & Wario. There are some nice little touches in it's presentation, but hopefully it's fun too. Then again, how could it not be?

Wisdom for anyone looking to do something with their passion whether video game development or other avenues of profession and business.

looks neat

Holy crap that's a great idea. There was no new Nintendo IP on the wii except for the titles that incorporated "Wii" into the name such as Wii Party. If there were to be a new face in Nintendo's roster I'm sure it could be used as a face to attract people to the struggling Wii U as well. A character that really takes advantage of what the system has to offer.

Seeing as how BO2 didn't get ANY DLC either well it seems that 3rd parties don't trust conumers AT ALL to continue supporting their games after release. Now if DLC wasn't a big part of games today I wouldn't bother saying anything, but according to the market it actually is.

RIP I had fun with a new experience which I'm sure will be very familiar to me into the distant future. May the Hunt continue in Ultimate, and hopefully sooner rather than later, 4 as well. Amen

This is gonna be weird....

Honestly I just want to play nightmare in dreamland. My first and probably favorite kirby game of all time.

Miyamoto is as much of an enigma of gaming culture as South Korean pop music is to international pop culture.

Seeing how there's a SSBB 3DS advertised there I don't find it very believable.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS) and maybe/hopefully finishing the original Bioshock. Might get to some more Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.

@mudjo Presumably a game made by a large development team. Ubisoft has studios all around the world and companies like it and Activision have "smaller" studios do work on their big budget titles as well. A lot of talent, research, and the money for it go into a AAA title. In the end the consumer decides if it was worth the while though.

Monster Hunter 3U, Monster Hunter 3U, Monster hunter 3U, and did I mention Monster Hunter 3U?

Gameplay looks very appealing to me, but the trailer helped me understand the story better.

Entertainment and art in all forms of media are judged by anyone with a righteous and passionate mind (which should be any human being of reason). Everyone has their reasons and both fortunately and unfortunately people are not usually and easily changed.

Only complaint I had with the demo was the tolerable, but noticeably "low" framerate. Great game design and feel- my impressions as a newcomer to the series. I feel like I should play from the beginning as they may be old the first game at least looks appealing enough to play through and get a feel for the origins of the series.

I cannot stress enough to newcomers that you're ticket of entry will seem so much more expensive when you're not playing with friends or other knowledgeable hunters. They almost NEED to play with others. The thing is, who is going to tell them that?

@MrWalkieTalkie My Feelings/Thoughts Exactly.

Holy Crap I wish I was a part of that band RIGHT NOW!

If this is true then I'll definitely be buying it on for the system.

If this doesn't come to America I'll be highly disappointed. I suppose a Jump Stars copyright situation is to be expected anyway....

I want the game on Wii U for certain.
