It's only due to the low install base, everything else is BS - look how many developers were eager to make crappy ports for the Wii

I still don't understand the love for Shantae - even to mention it in passing near Smash Bros' should be a crime

Euh! When are they going away from that uber-boring incarnation? Skyward Sword, or even WW looks much more interesting in my opinion

Wow, gotta say, that looks absolutely beautiful! I don't know if the Skull Kid would've been a good fighter, I mean, isn't Majoras Mask too powerful?

I will trust no-one who can't spell properly

Hadn't thought this would interest me, but these screens have won me over

They should rethink their animations

I still think they should have released DKCTF as well.

This put a big smile on my face

Im looking forward to playing this baby christmas morning

They had those in Germany! Only got one of them though Wanted DK too....

@yvenjean I though Mario Kart was coming out in May or something, but yeah, Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong and Mario Kart will probably push it past 10 wonderful millions next summer

That put a huge smile on my face, looks great

I thought this was a very good commercial - no maniacal smiles or anything, how the h do you guys look when you play games with your family?

These guys are from my school - game used to be called Faith of the Guardians. It never interested me however, but I hope it's good

Let's hope everyone loves it (not sure, since last time you teased that you loved WW - could be different reviewer though) and it sells some systems to prepare for christmas

@Goginho

Well, it would be very easy to do a sort of Double-Dash gameplay, where the player with the Gamepad sees an over-shoulder view of the characters, and would have to tap on the gamepad to aim - I loved double dash, and when the Wii U gives us the opportunity for assymetric gameplay, it seems it should be taken advantage off.

Can't believe you're using the GamePad honking :/ Really hope Nintendo thinks of something better before release.

Only thing we could be thankful for about the delay is that hopefully a lot more Wii U's will be out by then, and this game will get out to more people. In other news, seriously bummed about not having this for my christmas gaming sessions.
About the trailer, it was alright - thought they showed a bit too many things I'd like to see for myself first as I play it, but the new camera-angles look great!

I'm sorry to say that both previous Shantae games have disappointed me, probably won't be getting either this or the Pirate's Curse, even if I want to like them.

Nintendo machines and games are like hugs and warm slippers - you cant help but be happy

Looks like the same as the previous two games - wasn't impressed at all I'm afraid, although they were good looking.

@turnmebackwards that's actually a good idea - would also make for an awesome Final Smash
Bayonetta might be cool as well.

@Red302 Same thoughts here, remarkably good-looking still

Donkey Koooooong!!!!

I don't understand why people won't buy this

I really doubt that Ubisoft is about risks - Assassins Creed 1, 2, 2.3, 2.6, 3 and 4 doesnt really seem to point in that direction.
Adding to that the fact that they announced they will only focus on stuff that can become big franchises - that is, satiate the mindless masses for a quick buck, and I'm not sure I like Ubisoft anymore.

Sweet story I remember reading something of the kind about the 3DS - a guy who was ever so slightly cross-eyed, and therefore couldnt use stereoscopic vision at more than 30 cms broke down crying when he played the 3ds, because he could finally see depth

Also: Nabbit for Smash Bros!!

Rotten people - learning a lot of cool stuff from Nintendo, then applying that to their entire business-strategy for the future, while omitting Nintendo from any future releases.

I kinda like them - gives it a bit of distinctness for the 3DS

That's cool

It's strange - they readily throw 200+ million dollars at movies, but half of that is an insane amount for a game

Loved that scene from 'The Avengers'

Venusaur looks awesome

Could be cool, but man, she looks nothing like Samus! Way too model-y!

A hard-working man, I like him

People should really stop talking about this pricecut, and how the PS4 is only 50$ more (still a lot of money to some people) - it's actually a 100$ more, because you get a game with it (and expect new bundles this christmas), AND you get the 10% discount on the eShop for 2 years or what?

The fact that everyone is discussing a price-cut makes everyone WAIT for a pricecut - no sold machines therefore, making everything worse.
It's mindboggling how much everyone is hating on Nintendo

I hope this is free!

"Forced" is made by former students from my Uni - I didn't know it was hitting the eShop. Supposedly a co-op arena

@sinalefa But you must admit, the pictures that were shown, coupled with the videos we've seen of the other characters retaining the same move-set, doesnt bode well for new and exciting moves does it? Especially not when you realize that those same moves were also in Melee.

So disappointed in this - all of the characters are just copy->paste from Brawl.
Luigi just had his biggest success with Mansion 2 - how about basing the fighter on him? Using the poltergust would rock!
I honestly don't see how, barring the new characters, anyone is excited for this

I had an idea like this - it would've been cool if Nintendo had somehow allowed for games, maybe just small ones, on a USB, to be plugged into the gamepad, and played on the go, without the actual console.

Im afraid this game won't help sell a lot of Wii Us - I sadly think that the common gamer will dismiss this as a sort of 'crazy game'. Hopefully, when all the bighitters DO manage to sell a lot, people will also come back and buy some of the older, yet still great, games

IGN really does suck.

On a happy note, I am excited to see how much the sales will improve the next year or so Also excited about Nintendo's secret projects, woo!

At 0:42 - right there! That is an underwater battle

What the...

Let's hope it breaks the tv-show-to-crappy-game pattern!

Wow, shrieking at videofootage is not something I've done a lot Although I did clap my hands when Donkey Kong was revealed at this years E3.

On the X/Y subject, it's a bit of a shame that water-type pokemons are still just lounging on the ground - I had hopes that Gyarados for example would actually be submerged instead of floating around.

That's cool I made something like that myself in the day - a wooden GameBoy (even had colours on the screen!) with just a still picture of a tank and some planes - It wasn't difficult to imagine playing it

@GreatPlayer no, so far the uses of the GamePad have been disappointingly simple. I hope that asymmetric multiplayer is where it will shine in some near future!
