Disappointing but it is what it is. And I'm sure people are saying "Should've been Metroid", but Metroid wouldn't have done any better. If anything it probably would've done worse. Japan cares little about Metroid.
Sad but Unsurprising. The UK was never big on Nintendo and Nintendo has pretty much lost EA support, which means no Fifa. Fifa is huge in the UK. I know not everyone here likes EA, but Nintendo needs to get them to cooperate somehow.
But anyway, I still enjoy my Wii U and can't wait for Donkey Kong.

Re: Renegade Kid Moving On To A "New Experimental 2D Game for 3DS" After Kickstarter Failure
So I guess Cult County has been scrapped?
Re: Nintendo Is Working On The Next Mario Game, But Can't Reveal If It's Coming To 3DS Or Wii U
I see 2015 since that's the 30th anniversary of the franchise. (At least for SMB).
Re: Super Smash Bros. Direct Will Bring the Hype on 8th April
Also just because we're getting a SSB ND tuesday doesn't mean we won't get a regular one this month. Remember August?
Re: Super Smash Bros. Direct Will Bring the Hype on 8th April
Hopefully a release date is announced. I see 2 characters being revealed, Yoshi and a newcomer.
Re: Report Suggests That June Could Be Crucial For Iwata's Future At The Head Of Nintendo
Do people really think that Iwata being replaced will magically make all the problems disappear?
Re: Ronimo Games: PS4 And Xbox One Are More Of The Same, But Wii U Is "Something New"
Kinda true honestly. I doubt we'll ever see a game like The Wonderful 101 on PS4 or XBO.
Re: Review: Yoshi's New Island (3DS)
Seems that while for some it may be good, but the odds of it becoming your new favorite 3DS game are slim.
Re: Review: Yoshi's New Island (3DS)
@Superiorspider
OH HECK NO! DKC: TF is a masterpiece!
Re: Review: Yoshi's New Island (3DS)
I was hoping for a 7/10.
Re: Yoshi's New Island
Um any idea when the reviews are coming? the game is releasing this Friday.
Re: Armillo Release Date Pushed Back Into May
Wasn't interested anyway.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th March (North America)
Just emailed a complaint to Nintendo about their poor performance as of late.
Re: Nicalis Boss Tyrone Rodriguez Thinks The Wii U GamePad Is "A Waste Of Time And Resources"
While I do like the GamePad, he kind of has a point. It has done more harm than good.
Re: The Next Batman Game Is Arkham Knight, And No, There Won't Be A Wii U Version
Looks like i'll have to start saving up for PS4.
Re: Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - Deluxe Edition Sneaking Onto the Wii U eShop
I guess it was a good thing I waited. I'll definitely be picking this up in April. Should be about $30 in the US right?
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Only Sells Just Over 35,000 Units in Japanese Launch
@Doma
Nintendo gave us The Wonderful 101 with Platinum Games. Didn't go so well.
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Only Sells Just Over 35,000 Units in Japanese Launch
Disappointing but it is what it is. And I'm sure people are saying "Should've been Metroid", but Metroid wouldn't have done any better. If anything it probably would've done worse. Japan cares little about Metroid.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Wii U)
9/10 as expected. can't wait to pick this up friday,
Re: Nintendo Direct: Trailers Round-Up
man some people are never pleased.
Anyway, I'm happy. to me Bayo2 was the main highlight.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th February (North America)
@Blue_Yoshi
2PM PT/5PM ET. will cover wii u and 3ds games in spring. it'll be 41 minutes long.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th February (North America)
Nintendo DIrect today. Surprise eShop title announcement maybe?
Re: Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 13th February
Not getting my expectations too high..though an announcement of the original Bayonetta for the Wii U eShop would be nice.
Re: Just 2% of Ubisoft's Q3 Sales Were for Wii U
Yep, this is why we can't have nice things. This is why Nintendo consoles can't have good third party support anymore.
Re: Exclusive: Shin'en Multimedia Bringing Art of Balance to the Wii U eShop
Wow that screenshot is stunning. the techies at Shin'en are wizards.
Re: Poll: Have Your Say on Satoru Iwata's Nintendo Strategies
I definitely agree that that loyal customers should be rewarded. Still bummed about MK8 not being released until May though.
Re: Feature: 10 Nintendo DS Games We Want To See On The Wii U Virtual Console
I want Super Mario 64 DS and Metroid Prime Hunters.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Teases New Super Smash Bros. Stage With Palutena Image
I'd say Palutena is most likely in the roster.
Re: Nintendo Q3 Results Bring Net Profit, But Warnings of Projected Losses Remain
5.86 million Wii U's sold from launch to the end of 2013? a bit higher than I expected.
Re: Monster Hunter 4 G Due In Autumn / Fall This Year
Yes it will have online MP.
Re: Mass Market Price And Mario Kart 8 Will Reverse The Wii U's Fortunes, Say UK Retailers
I'd say SSB but MK sells more and the new SSB is coming to 3DS as well. And Sakurai isn't going to make the 3DS version suck for the sake of Wii U.
Re: Mass Market Price And Mario Kart 8 Will Reverse The Wii U's Fortunes, Say UK Retailers
Yeah I think a $50 price cut combined with Mario Kart 8 would help a lot. Mario Kart 8 is the biggest Wii U game this year.
Re: Iwata Accepts Responsibility For Poor Financial Results, Ignores Calls To Resign
Good luck. Tbh I think a resignation mid-gen would hurt more than help.
Re: Satoru Iwata Explains Reduced Projections and "Large Margin" 3DS and Wii U Sales Misses
Their own fault. Since Bill Trinin is the head of the NoA marketing department, if anyone needs to be fired it's him lol.
Re: Intelligent Systems Development HQ Image Emerges
Good for them. their own HQ should allow them to become more efficient.
Re: Nintendo Boasts of "Record-Setting" 3DS Sales in 2013 and Confirms Yoshi’s New Island Release Date
I'm sure 3ds will have a good 2014, but probably not as good as 2013. And I for one look forward to Yoshi's New Island.
Re: MercurySteam's New Next-Gen Title Isn't Coming To Wii U
Obvious: game probably wouldn't sell on Wii U due to the userbase/demographic.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th January (North America)
@Samurairu I'm blaming NoA as a whole. But not surprised that mainly Reggie gets attacked. Its human nature to blame the guy in charge first.
Re: Next Level Games "Doing Only Nintendo Products Now"
I'd be game for a Mario Strikers U.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th January (North America)
No SMB3? I expect nothing less from the ever incompetent NoA.
Re: Next Level Games "Doing Only Nintendo Products Now"
If that's the case can they make a new star fox or metroid then?
Re: Talking Point: New Year Resolutions for Nintendo
Easy:
-Release your games on time.
-Don't make promises you can't keep.
-Actually MARKET Off-TV Play
-Work harder on getting third party on board.
Re: Dr. Luigi announced for Wii U eShop
$15 sounds fair to me.
Re: Rosalina And Luma Work Their Magic On The Super Smash Bros. Roster
I can feel Super Mario Galaxy 3 getting closer...
Re: Hyrule Warriors Is Zelda Meets Dynasty Warriors, And It's Coming To Wii U In 2014
Dynasty Warriors Zelda Edition? unexpected, but looks really cool. I hope it has online multiplayer.
Re: Nintendo Direct Focusing On Wii U And 3DS Games Coming Spring 2014 To Air Tomorrow
If there's a new game announcement from Nintendo, it better be for the Wii U.
Re: Nintendo Direct Focusing On Wii U And 3DS Games Coming Spring 2014 To Air Tomorrow
Probably won't be able to watch it live but I can't wait! I'd like a surprise game announcement, but I won't lose sleep if it doesn't happen.
Re: Platinum Games Producer Hates "Pedantic Port-Begging" Regarding Bayonetta 2
Seriously just buy the console if you need the game that badly. Nintendo backing is the only reason the game is even coming out.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Confirms Playable Cranky Kong and Release Date for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Despite it being Dk related, he did seem to imply that a Metroid game is in the works.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Explains Reasoning For Not Leading Bayonetta 2 Development
@Blastoise-san
Yeah they should. Nintendo needs more developers.
Re: PS4 and Xbox One Surpass Wii U Lifetime Sales in the UK
Sad but Unsurprising. The UK was never big on Nintendo and Nintendo has pretty much lost EA support, which means no Fifa. Fifa is huge in the UK. I know not everyone here likes EA, but Nintendo needs to get them to cooperate somehow.
But anyway, I still enjoy my Wii U and can't wait for Donkey Kong.
