@ZesuBen That would make my day if they reannounced Megaman Legends 3. "Hey, guess what! We've actually been working on the game behind the scenes all this time! And it's going to be released next month!"
Hearing about the "no love for the U", I think they're just saving everything for E3. They might do the same thing they did for last year, with little to no information about 3DS and just everything about the U.
Ah, I was hoping for a couple new game announcements, but it makes sense that they won't do that since they already have a tremendous line up. I just haven't been buying games lately...
@AbeVigoda the point is, they're missing out. If they would put more time into the Wii, it would be time well spent. Meaning the Wii is not a "Virus", it deserves every sale it got. However, most people didn't use it to its full potential.
I can't help but feel a bit out of the loop - I'll most likely be playing more Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy (100% takes time!!), Kid Icarus: Uprising (Never actually completed it since my save file got wiped right before finishing it on my first run through), and Brawlin' with my friends of course
I hate these conspiricy theorists saying the video game market is gonna crash again... It probably will for those huge companies, but never for smaller, indie developers... and Nintendo
Sure, these games are very old and it's one of the main reasons why people aren't buying them, but I'm surprised this article didn't mention that they're sequels. I think that's a huge reason that they're not selling as well. Why would I buy a game at the middle or the end of the storyline when I'm completely oblivious to the other games?
Nintendo gets hardcore fans super excited, by giving out information on e3 and nintendo direct and other internet videos. But what about casual consumers? They go around and set up booths for kids to nag at their moms to take them there. Why don't they go full out with their advertising? Put up Wii U commercials on TV, appearing on multiple channels and at least once per commercial break. People would be sick of the commercials by then, but AT LEAST THEY'RE AWARE THAT IT EXISTS. I think that is the main problem. A lot of people just don't know about the Wii U. Maybe... maybe Nintendo is waiting on it until they actually release some games so that customer satisfaction remains high. That's the only explanation I can come up with.
I spent all my coins on both Game and Watch Collections They're going to be worth a fortune, I'm telling you!! I never buy games with my coins, because I try to save them for material stuff.
I've never played these games either! It seems as though not a lot of people have, at least I don't know many that have. Anyway, I wonder if I should pick up one or both?
The only Layton game I've played is the Last Specter, and honestly, I couldn't stand it. I know it's sad for a lot of people to see the Layton series go, because a lot of people like it, but I can't say I'm affected at all by this.
The Banjo Kazooie series honestly never looked appealing to me... Neither did Conker's Bad Fur Day... Really, none of the Rare games look good to me. And I owned and played Donkey Kong 64 and Diddy Kong Racing back in the day. Maybe it's the fact that most of their games are collect-athons, maybe it's because of the cheesy art style and music? I don't know, I just always felt there was something off with Rare in general.
I'm baffled that people think NSMB is an easy game. I fail so hard at it However, I do pretty good at the actual classic Super Mario games. Maybe it's the physics.
Also, I silently shake my head at the people who get angry at the ones who dislike Uprising controls. It's all a matter of personal preference! Why would you get angry?

Re: eShop Leaks Possible Date For Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move
One thing's for sure, if I buy this game my brother will be asking for my 3DS constantly. He's a huge fan of Mario vs. Donkey Kong.
Re: Check Out This Ultimate Multi-System Games Console
I've seen stuff like this, but never this much. It's getting kind of ridiculous.

I was never planning on getting Liberation Maiden or Crimson Shroud, but this may tip me over the edge for both of them.
Re: Review: Viewtiful Joe (GameCube)
I gotta get this sometime... especially since I never had a Gamecube when it was supported and I have one now.

Re: Cliff Bleszinski Likens The Wii To A "Virus"

Re: Ubisoft's E3 2013 Conference Dated
Well, Ubisoft E3 news is better than no E3 news, I suppose.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Eleven
I can't help but feel a bit out of the loop - I'll most likely be playing more Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy (100% takes time!!), Kid Icarus: Uprising (Never actually completed it since my save file got wiped right before finishing it on my first run through), and Brawlin' with my friends of course
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th April 2013 (North America)
Kirby's Adventure and Clash of Elementalists look interesting to me, though I'm going to wait for a review on the latter before I download.

Good point, though one thing they've been consistant with is the extremely fun games on every system they've released.

Re: Talking Point: The Problem With 'Old' Wii U Ports
Sure, these games are very old and it's one of the main reasons why people aren't buying them, but I'm surprised this article didn't mention that they're sequels.

Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D Swings Into a Release on 24th May
CopyWRITTEN, people! Not copywrited. COPYWRITTEN!

Re: Talking Point: The Pros and Cons of a Wii U Price War
