SEGA, when will you give us sequels to Vanquish, Binary Domain, Virtua Fighter, Universe at War: Earth Assault etc.?

"20 million sales target"

Well, I think there are to much zeros in this number (at least one, maybe more).

Yeah, it would be nice, if some things from the video would be real for the NX (or whatever it will be called).

Like "proper account- and reward- system"

I like the cartoonish graphic style in the video (after it says "Too realistic?"). Very nice and smooth.

This is the first sign, that the console market is changing radically or eventually slowly dying. They just don't know yet.

Or maybe Nintendo does know something, that others don't and that's why they made an agreement with DeNA?

Anyway ... the future will be quite interesting

No problem for me, I can play all these old games in emulators on my computer.
Nintendo needs new games and remakes of older ones with updated graphics.

I am very sad, that splitscreen almost disappeared in most games (aka: driving games). Mario kart has it and Sonic racing series, but that is mostly ... sad, sad things.

The Wii U is now dead end anyway, so whatever and whenever it comes, let it be 2016 or 2017, Nintendo also needs to get more third party support.

Maybe, they are making it for the next Nintendo console, the NX or whatever will it be called.

@beautifulstrong: don't know. Maybe it's April 1st joke.

Ask Iwata and Nintendo ...

@Mr_G: yeah, I know. Doesn't bother me to much ...

Yeah, they will announce:

What if it doesn't come to Wii U but rather to NX?

An interesting article:

Why Nintendo Seems Determined to Fail
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-feehan/why-nintendo-seems-determined-to-fail_b_4699827.html

... In the '90s, Nintendo won the hearts and minds of children worldwide with a stable of unforgettable characters. The children who once made up that core market are now starting to have children of their own. If Iwata wants Nintendo to survive another 20 years — or to even keep his job — he needs to reach today's young gamers where they play: on mom's phone and dad's tablet.

We will see, but I have a feeling, that Nintendo will soon become the next SEGA. So just a software maker/pbulisher. Hope I'm wrong.

@FaustoM: thanks for the info!

Okay, everyone has his own opinion. Mine is: I don't like their look.
But let's finish this and go forward.

@RadicalYoseph: ok, I will answer you. They are saying, that this game is like Mario Kart. No it's not, because MK has fantastic graphics and detail, thisone doesn't. Visually it's simply ugly (look at these characters on these screenshots).

The only thing, that can save this game, is the gameplay.

So, you like these characters?

You simply can't compare them to the characters from the Mario Bros. world:

Read the reviews and judge yourself:

Maybe they will change something in the Wii U version, but don't have to much hope.

Sorry, I don't want to be rude, but ... this looks horrendous.

Will buy a Wii U, when there will be no LCD gamepad, just the Gamepad Pro.

Why is Nintendo advertising Apple? Are they being payed for?

Yeah, I have a feeling, that I will also hop on a train, but it seems, that that won't be Nintendo's.

Anyway, I will wait and see, what the future brings.

@icedude545: absolutely agree. Ditch this motion sensor alltogether and give us proper controller (like the next generation of the Gamepad pro).

Yes, but there are other system also (aka iOS from Apple, Windows Phone) ... and you can buy tons of stuff, like physical gamepad add-ons etc. for your phone/tablet.

Here you go:

The thing you are talking is just software problem and Google needs to fix the fragmentation of it's OS. Or the others (Nintendo) needs to adapt. Simple.

Anyway, the statistics says, that you get the most money from the Apple platforms (eco-systems) if you are selling you stuff there.

Not to mention PSN, Xbox Live/Store, Steam ... Nintendos eShop is a joke compared to these.

@ikki5: thanks for the information. Anyway, we will see, how the things are going change in the future (or not) ...

@potatomage7: and what the point in having an another handheld, when the same game is running on your smarthpone/tablet?

I will answer you: none.

@Yorumi: +1, you have spoken from my hearth aswell. Sad, but true.

"This doesn't have to be a 'Sega' moment"

But it will be. In long term, Nintendo will eventually be a software publisher only, if they will not take care of their moves.

So we can finally legally play Nintendo games on PC? Cool! Cannot wait

In my understanding, the NX will be a client type program (like Steam, Origin, Google Play, AppStore etc.), in where you can buy/play Nintendo-games and it doesn't matter what platform (tablet, smartphone, smart-TV, PC, console, smart washmaschine and so on) you are using.

Well, maybe Nintendo in the long term becomes like SEGA, a software publisher.

But, I do have serious a question: why would anyone buy a Nintendo handheld console, when they can play these nintendo games on their phones/tablets?

I am interested in:

• Yoshi's Woolly World
• Xenoblade
• StarFox
• F-Zero
• more third party games

@Aslanmagic:
What? The whole Zelda franchise is cheesy as hell.

Well, it does looks like a light version of Lemmings, but with Nintendo characters ... hmm ...

Can someone explain me, why it is good to hunt and kill creatures?

I am mostly interested in Devil's Third only.

Okay, maybe Star Fox ... but who knows, what type of game it will be (adventure, space sim/arcade action etc.).

@GreatPlayer:

wholeheartedly agree. You are so right! I would also like, that Nintendo would ditch the Wii U Gamepad with the LCD display and just stick with the Gamepad Pro and upgrade it.

Let's see ...

1.) drop the Wii U gamepad and give us something like a combination of the Wii Gamepad Pro and Gamecube contoller plus a bit of Xbox gamepad

2.) the future console needs an ethernet port

3.) more 3rd party games support, please

The real question is: who will play Mario?

BTW: I really like the old Super Mario Bros. movie from the 90s.

I am very interested in this game, but first I need to buy a used Wii U ... anyway, I do have a question: is there an option, that you can turn down different graphic stuff (aka simpler texture, antialisaing, etc.), so that it could run "better/faster"?

I think, I will wait for Wii U v2 ...

Nintendo will eventually fail on the handhelds, since all these (casual) games are slowly going to tablets/smartphones/smart-TVs/whatever devices ... and only 1st party support will not be enough this time, like is mostly the case with Wii U.

But that is future. Until then .. well, be happy and play you Nintedo handheld consoles!

Is this the same guy, who made the IQ Test for Wii U?

So, when will Nintendo release the successor to Wii U? In 2-3 years? Sooner? Later?

I think the tablets/smartphones are slowly eating up the the 2DS/3DS market.

The only game, that interest me in that list is Bayonetta 2.

My first ever console was (still is) the Nintendo Wii ... but I remember, these old SEGA and Nintendo commercials on ORF (Austrian State TV Channel).

Here where I live, we hadn't really a chance, to buy consoles ... you had to smuggle it through the Austrian or Italian border
Off course, if you had the money.

Right now, the video doesn't stutter, it's OK.
