To help ease the wait and to count down the last 10 days till Wii U, come tomorrow I will play one Nintendo game every day on every Nintendo console I own. Taking the time to remember and to toast the good old days and think of how far Nintendo has come.

Well for the original game, expansions, new improved controls, new multiplayer modes, new levels, support for Gamepad, Wii Remotes, Nunchucks, Classic Controllers, support for accomplishments, patching support, Online and offline 4 player coop and Miiverse support, I'd say it's more than worth it.
@rodoubleb Nice to know.
We're talking Wii U here though not PC. Please don't sully other peoples fun or excitement. For some, this is a whole new game experience. M'kay? The price for everything included is more than reasonable.
Your opinion, we respect but it's spoken from beneath a bridge.
Never been one for graphics, opting more for gameplay but good Lord is Trine 2 gorgeous. Day 1 buy without a doubt.
I'm not ashamed to say I'm buying it based on looks alone.
Any news on how DLC, patches etc. will be made available on eShop?
Does it have a Live Marketplace-esque menu/ sub menu were extra content is displayed? Or is it just like 3DS eShop were extra content is accessible via the game/ game icon?
Also, and this is important. What colour is the power on light?
"We prioritized the eShop because we’re seeing that, first, there’s a segment of consumers that want their games digitally on the system and don’t want the hassle, potentially, of physical discs"
Don't forget the casuals and disc buyers Reggie boy. Overall, you have to hand it to Nintendo. They've evolved so, so much in such a short amount of time. Then again, they had to. Nintendo's competitors will be once again, left in the dust* and this is entirely new territory.
Out selling, out performing and forcing the direction of the next generation before it's even started.
It's a blip and thank you for the article. My decision on buying this was up in the air anyway but I'll hold out for now in the hope for an edition with everything on the disc.
I think when Sony and Microsoft catch up, the power and tech of the next batch of consoles will start to level out. As much as some people would like consoles with 16 cores etc, It most likely won't happen. The economy won't allow it. As long as corporations want to make money, innovation will have to play much more of a focused role should a company want to stay on top. Should the big 3 set out to constantly out tech each other, there will be casualties.
Graphical output by home consoles will be almost indistinguishable in a few years anyway so we need the Nintendo's and now, the OUYA's of this world to keep everything fresh and to keep gaming moving forward in great big strides.
I found it to be slow and tedious, the music and sound effects were iffy, and the pace of the, for want of a better word, gameplay will try its best to keep you gripped but bless it, it fails but don't get me wrong, it's ok. I'm not sure if the majority of modern day gamers will have the patience for this. It has a cult following and it's by no means the worst game ever but to those tempted by it, read everything and watch everything about it first. This really needs an eShop demo.
If he's played them, he has every right to say so. NL gave those games 8/10. That's just this one site (and I respect it) but it's not a widely held view across the world is it? NL liked them and that's good but someone can say they dislike something and that's good too.
@LZBirdboi Not too far from sell outs here in UK. I know places that have taken down ads for it due to lack of stock and ability to supply pre orders. I got lucky really. I was pretty slack with my pre order, buying mine 2 days ago.
I'd love a good solid 2D Metroid. It's ok in 3D but it's just better as a 2D sidescroller. I hope if they do make one that they steer clear from Other M. That was awful. That didn't know what it was.
I totally agree. It is nice for younger gamers and newcomers to have them there though. Shame they look awful. This is the worst looking of the NES bunch so far. But it is still a classic even if Dr. Salvadors been at it.

Wii U has caught up and has leapfrogged ahead. If anyone needs to play catch up now, it sure aint Nintendo.

What's the price on Trine 2 please Sir?
Re: Feature: Wii U Launch Day, Live!
I'm liking the eShop menu layout alot. It seems nice, neat and clutter free. Certainly better that Live (imo)

Any signs or even a hint at Gamecube support for eShop?

Re: Feature: Shigeru Miyamoto - The Father of Modern Video Games
All this talk about Walt Disney makes me wonder about people mentioning his retirement.
Will Nintendo put Miyamoto in a fWiizer to help keep him going?
Sorry...
Re: Wii U Mass Effect 3 Owners Cannot Retake Omega
@Aviator
They'll stop eventually.
Or they could do what Bethesda did with FO3. Sell each DLC on separate discs. Annoying, yes but at least we'd have it all.

Re: Donkey Kong Country Trilogy To Be Pulled From Wii Virtual Console
You've only had 18 years to buy and play the trilogy so if you have, for some peculiar reason, never played it yet, you'd best get it now.
Re: WayForward Would Like To Make A Metroid Game
I'd love a good solid 2D Metroid. It's ok in 3D but it's just better as a 2D sidescroller. I hope if they do make one that they steer clear from Other M. That was awful. That didn't know what it was.
