So no real improvements besides Off-TV Play? no buy.

But but but....I thought it was just a 3D Land port! /haters.

Anyway, so beautiful! EAD Tokyo is the bomb.

Looks great. Simple as that.

No Sonic demos for NA?

No offense Mr. Iwata but....I would not be bragging about Disney lol.

But really less "promises", more results.

I'll believe it when I see it Nintendo. I don't want PR, I want results.

Probably just an error.

Beautiful game. November 22nd can't come fast enough.

All you 3D World doubters owe EAD Tokyo an apology.

Safe to say there'll be new gameplay for:

• Super Mario 3D World
• Mario Party Island Tour
• The Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
• Donkey Kong Country: Tropical freeze

As will as details on the Wii U update and hopefully 3DS Miiverse, Going to try and keep my expectations in check though.

Pretty much as expected. I can see why some hate it, but ultimately it's probably the best model for young children and/or for parents who are on a budget. It may not be as good as 3DS or 3DS XL but...that's why it's cheaper than those two.

@thesilverbrick given the 3 exclusive Sonic games deal Nintendo has with Sega, Sonic returning seems like a lock.

Isn't that how new entries normally are? lol.

WW HD is a maybe..

Very well-written article. I even learned a few new things.

I hope it comes to the Wii U, but I'm not getting my hopes up. This seems to be the answer from every dev when asked if X game will come to Wii U.

Thank you Yamauchi for helping to save the game industry. RIP.

Wouldn't it be cool that in a proper Wii Sports U in the future, you could make a club? I'd make a bowling team!

Eh, can't say I care. I already downloaded and beat the eShop version and as much as I liked it, it's barely worth $15 nevermind $20.

I can see Sony striking a deal with Sega to make Persona 5 exclusive to their playstation platforms.

Hmm...I think even under Sega management the Etrian Odyssey series will probably stay Nintendo exclusive.

@Ready ithe third game is supposed to be Sonic-related.

Sonic Summoners? YakuzaxPersona? lol.

40% of that 44% would supposedly buy GTA V would end up buying Mario instead.

So Nintendo lied about Steel Diver being their first FTP game lol.

I hope Nintendo announces game closer to release like this more often.

Truth be told, this would cost up to $30 for me since I didn't care for golf and tennis. So I would end up buying boxing, bowling, and maybe baseball.

Dang, Nintendo wasn't kidding when they said they wanted to announce games closer to release. I am really interested in this.

So basically this is a HD eShop free-to-play remake of Wii Sports? Cool!

I have to agree PG needs to start making games with a wider appeal. i think Nintendo will buy them next year because aside from maybe Konami with MGR2 where else do they have to go? Most of their games sell under a million copies and with budgets as high as they are that is simply unacceptable with most publishers.

Probably MH related so I'm guessing that Nintendo bought the NA and EU MH publishing rights and a Wii U port of MH4 is in the works.

It's real folks....well atleast it's low priced I guess.

@koto

1. Dillon and Sakurai are eshop only and cost alot less to make.

2. Idk how the original Pikmin did but it ended up being a million seller and spawned sequels.

3. You have a point I guess on PG developed games..

...But still. Guys, the game is gonna be a bomb. Face it.

@koto

I'm pretty sure those JRPGs did alot better in their first weeks in Japan too compared to this game.

Even with the low install base and Japan being more handheld oriented, that's still pretty bad. And I can't see it doing much better in NA....

@kwb That'd STILL be bad.

@Hylian We shouldn't have to. It's the principal. PS4 and X1 both come with 500GB hard drives. Even low end PCs that go for like $350 have atleast 250GB.

IMO, low storage capacity home consoles like the 4GB 360 don't belong in 2013. Downloads are just to big now. I really don't see why Nintendo couldn't get even a 160GB Hard drives. I like Nintendo consoles, but there's always at least one aspect each time where Nintendo penny-pinches and cuts corners.(But their systems are pretty durable.)

Bane voice: ''Of course.''

Iwata, Basic Set isn't selling simply because the Delixe Set is simply a much better.

I am so getting this. And yes I am double-dipping.

My 3 guesses:

1. 101 demo
2. Bayonetta 2 release date
3. Bayonetta 1 eShop release today.

Before it starts...no. Zelda U will not be revealed.

I am hoping for a story trailer for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and for the release of an eShop demo for The Wonderful 101. And though it says previously announced games, remember Nintendo has a surprise at the end about 90% of the time.

I think either Mario Strikers U or Star Fox U.

I didn't want to believe it, but I do sense some bias from 3rd parties towards Nintendo atm with their console.

Really getting old..sheesh does the Wii U have a disease or something?

"X game isn't coming to Wii U" is getting pretty old...

I have a new personal policy when it comes to Nintendo: I'll believe it when I see it.

Tekken card game

Obviously true Mr. Iwata. Some publishers need to control their sales expectations for later ports.
