It's great that he's passionate. At the same time though, it seems as though he doesn't really trust anyone.

Either way it's gonna be one heck of a game.

Wow, even Pikmin 3 moved more hardware.

I hope its a new ip. I plan on getting tw101 to help show support for new ips.

Glad Nintendo is getting their act together marketing.

At this rate, for Wii U to come first Iwata is gonna have to join Vince McMahon's Kiss My You Know What Club lol.

^This. This why new consoles are a good thing.

I think Wii U will be third place behind XBO and PS4 when all is said and done.

I hope hope the next set of Batman films are based on the Arkham series. It has the right feel.

And honestly, did anyone seriously think this was gonna top Arkham City?

@Ernest_The_Crab

Ah so Nintendo is just being lazy? K.

...Can't Nintendo just ban people who misuse the service instead of doing stuff like this?

I bet this will come to NA in May.

So basically Galaxy 3 Wii U in 2 or 3 years is almost confirmed?

Gonna be a great Christmas present!

Sonic demos for NA? FInally!

Seeing as how we've gotten at least one ND every month this year, I think next month we'll get a Wii U centric one.

3DS centric...3DS Miiverse finally?

Easily the most creative mario platformer since galaxy 1.

@marnelljm

You sound surprised.

I want Bowling...but no Wii Motion Plus. :/

I want this...but no Wii Motion Plus. :/

Lovely woman

Those new levels are nice too.

Marth is looking good. I wouldn't be surprised if Chrom and/or Lucina end up being his alternate skin(s).

Good to hear. These bundles are great. I guess it shows that Nintendo land isn't quite the Wii Sports redux Nintendo wanted it to be.

Can we just be happy that Wii U got a good week in Japan? sheesh.

This is great! Just wait until Mario comes out...

No, they have not done enough. They need to not only advertise the games, but also advertise the system itself. Like...an ad on how convenient off tv play can be.

Sounds great.

Yay the most pointless thing Nintendo has ever done hardware-wise is coming to the US! Nope don't care.

Ah kids these days lol.

As much as I love Nintendo, defending them nowadays is getting harder and harder. Iwata, you aren't my father. So stop pretending to be.

Btw, I do plenty of walking without streetpass. Accept it: Nintendo is being unfair to the 3DS userbase.

@Memeboy3

All you're doing is coming off as condescending you know that right?

I'm not "pissed" about it, it just seems like a major over-reaction.

....Are parents really so incapable of using parental controls?

I wish Wii U would get a Lego Marvel demo as well.

@Kereke12

Like it or not, Nintendo is a company that makes video games with a family-appeal. And that probably isn't going to change.

I know a lot of people don't like EA, but they're a major third party. Nintendo needs EA. Nintendo needs to get EA to cooperate on some level, at least enough to get Madden and Fifa again.

@jrob23 yeah I think Nintendo meant for the total install base as a whole to reach 9 million, not sell another 9 million.

@AJ As I've said, I think 2014 will be the Wii U's comeback year.

At the same time though, this along with past rough starts like 3DS shows that Nintendo needs to plan their system launches better.

@Patcherkid pre orders mean nothing for a system's success. Wii U had pretty high pre order numbers as well.

@marnelljim The Gamecube Sold about 22 million units globally and the N64 sold about 35 million globally, SNES sold about 50 million globally. So yeah, I think 40 million for Wii U is a reasonable guess.

Wii U's sales seem bad, but if you recall how the PS3 and 360 started, Wii U isn't doing much worse than those. Global hardware sales-wise, I expect Wii U to be somewhere between the N64 and the SNES at the end of its life.(I'm gonna guess about 40 million.)

Knew this was their next game lol. But yeah, I'm excited. I hope it has online MP. This game is gonna be beautiful.

Not every single game needs online multiplayer. I do not mind this.

I agree. Nintendo sure is taking their time with the VC releases lol. Sadly, Wii U VC probably won't start getting N64 games until next year. Same with GBA and probably Genesis games.

@rjejr
Actually there are Sonic demos for Japan and EU. It's More NoA's fault than Nintendo as a whole.

Sega....still no Sonic demos for NA? Really? Come on!

As of right now, I plan on getting a red one for christmas.

Seriously, what's the hold up with the North American Sonic Lost World demos?

STILL no Sonic demos? Really? Nothing for me then.
