I'd say a good deal likely these [PS4, XBone] consoles were sold on the "hype" factor, the MUST HAVE THING. I've heard Newscasters talking to their tech analysts "Well I don't know exactly what it is/does, but I have one pre-ordered for my kids!"

Hooray! I can't wait to play this, now!

How did indie developers ever make games without crowd-funding?!

Judging from reviews, Wii U has more great-good exclusives than PS4 or Xbone.

I'm quite excited, and can't wait to see what it is...

The Most effective one was with the pantomime Mario And Sonic. If they used those costumes more, they'd have more memorable commercials. The original Super Smash Bros. commercial strongly sticks in my mind...

@CountWavula I agree, too!
Mario Party 2 is my favourite. Luckily I got it on Wii virtual console. The first wasn't bad.... but there was some much emphasis on rotating the control-stick, you'd burn your hand. I can't remember if I had played 8 or 9. Neither of them were fun. Since I mostly play alone, I'm not interested in this. At all.
Online multiplayer isn't a terrible idea... but it is a lot more fun when it's local, and you can throw a controller at your sister's head, after losing to them.

This is the SECOND game that I owned, for SNES. That was in about '98. I think the the third was a rare game called Metal Warriors.

Over the radio, I heard the "game analyst" compare Knack directly to Mario.
I've tried Ratchet and Clank, but didn't enjoy it. There are a lot of platformers that I don't enjoy. The PS3 exclusives named may be fun, but I'd have to judge how much I'd like them for myself.
Many of the exclusives for XBone will, eventually, be on PC.. I'm not an avid PC gamer, I don't often buy games, but I do, on occasion.
@uel It's like this: "The Kids want to be Teens, cause teens are cool. The Teens want to be 20 somethings, cause they are cool. The 20 somethings want to be cool. The Middle-aged group want to be younger, because their idea of 'cool' isn't 'cool' anymore."
@Artwark Like I've said elsewhere, there is an invisible roof. Sure, games can look better, but there's not really anywhere to go after that... or this.
@triforcepower73 I was a gamecube fan, about that age, and had one or two friends that weren't convinced PS2 and Xbox were the next best things to being god. Many of them just got a PS2 or xbox to play DVDs (which is what I use my roommate's 360 for). I'm not impressed, generally, of Generation teXt. At least you've some open minded-sense.
@Skyward Crowbar The Bestbuy I go to still had Pokemon Y's left (One left after mine) and they hadn't even sold any "dream teams". It's a pretty safe bet I'll be able to get at least ALBW there (I'm hoping to get both that and 3D Mario World, of course). I hope I won't have to wait in a big XBOXONE line...
@unrandomsam For once I can agree with you: I don't like "dumb luck" or easy level building in games.
It used to be about beating someone's high score, now it's about winning achievements. Rayman Legends had a fun score system. For about a day, I had 'most jumps' — at least in my country.
@DestinyMan 'hoooooy! Thanks for adding that.

Super Mario Galaxy 3, with bonus SMG 1+2 Wii-u Play Bundle.

@MadAussieBloke Thanks for some Benny Hill!

The Wii U may sell the most, it's unlikely, but here's why:
PS4 and XBone — which are frankly more popular, with their advertising being stuffed down every form or media — are splitting the "gamers" up. Splitting up the gamers even more, are their 'subtle' differences between games. Then, of course, there are more people than ever that DON'T buy consoles, and just iPhone/tablet game.
Being in the middle, Wii U has an advantage. like the Wii, more appealing to the middle-class, uninformed, and others. However, these same ignorant-gamers that have no idea that the Wii U isn't just the G-pad

Was PS4's Launch a success? All I have heard is problems with PS4s overheating, and other problems. Sony may have sold out more consoles, but that's probably because they had more in stock.
Yesterday: ME: Did your PS4's Sell out? BEST BUY GUY: Yeah, they were gone within about an hour, I think.
Well, so did the Wii U, but they only had 15 deluxe consoles in stock (No whities).
I wouldn't doubt a few people have mistakenly bought PS3's or Xbox 360's (perhaps again), instead of PS4's...

I'm interested to see whether XBone's launch goes better.

I'm sure that Wii U will gradually grow into a more popular console; within half a year, I'd assume a better result than last year.

... There aren't THAT many things that look exactly like Windwaker. The boat doesn't look that similar, nor the Sword, chests, Heart/power style (alignment), pots.... you know, nothing too similar.

@belmont
What about the guy who found the "Shinies"?

It may be rare, but I'd call it Mild, not Wild.
Well, I've seen worse commercials. I thought the PS4 commercial was an ad to join the US Army (That didn't make sense, as I was watching a Canadian TV station)

@UnseatingKDawg Yes, I've said that before! I wish they would quit making these olympic games. Even a Sonic and Mario RPG would be more welcome.
What others and I have also said, "I'm not a fan of sports-mush games (like Olympics), because they spread the gameplay into smaller pieces of fun. "
SEGA has more potential than this (I think). I love seeing all the characters, but please, SEGA, work with Nintendo on better stuff.

@Kaine_Morrison Yeah, me too.
I have to get LTTP! I have plenty of coins to splurge.
@GamerGleek47 Unless you used the Nunchuck combo, yeah... you'll need a classic controller. Other than the Original ones, they are pretty nice.
(It would be nice if Nintendo could add the Pro-controller, or Gpad support to the Wii games.)

I loved this game, as a kid.

Can't you have parental controls to limit kids, anyway?

You can make more money taking risks...

@gregrout Nintendo has never Insisted that developers use the G-Pad... That's the developer's decision. Encouraged is different than isisting... So, unless you are being sarcastic, most of what you've said have been half truths. I'm not sure why anyone would pay for Angry Birds, anyway; I thought it was free...

I like how they used the Wilhelm Scream!

@EvisceratorX
That's a good idea. There are a lot of games that would be great on Wii U. Primarily Star Fox, or Metroid (Just because they aren't unannounced)... It was nice to see Kid Icarus return.
I'm not against having the announced Kirby, Mario, Zelda and so-on games released, I'm excited for them! And yes, there have been a lot of Mario games. There are a lot of Spinoffs that are pretty good... I'd love to see a Mario AND Sonic platformer, rather than an "Olympics Sport mosh"... and I bet I'm not the only one.
Back to the err... point these 1st tier franchises are becoming too "Maddenized". There have been several NEW Super Mario games in such a short period of time, it just kind of makes a release less exciting.
I'd love even more to see an Anti-Hero game Starring Wario and Waluigi... and Wario's friends, I suppose... that isn't Wario Ware. I'd love to see a game with Wario able to throw Waluigi around.
Most of all, however, I'd love to see Advance Wars return (Wii U and/or 3DS).

@shuis
I often think of how different the world would have been if the Nintendo Play Station came to fruition.

@Hayabusa
They wouldn't sell as many as they would next year. Have you heard about the PS4 and XBONE launching?

@unrandomsam
Ugh! It doesn't make a difference after 24fps.

I've never had one. Great idea, just not for me.

@jord91
I agree, here.

The only thing good, that could come of this, is if it showed linking the 3DS and Wii U.

@I-AM-REGGIE They won't have the SAME problem, but they will share different problems: Both are launching almost at the same time. The so called "hardcore gamer" crowd probably won't buy both of those consoles, and so sales will be split on those consoles, and core third party non-exclusives. Another problem is launch titles: Having all those titles launch with a console isn't good. Only the few 'good ones' will cancel out the others (Nintendo's --not only Wii U's — biggest problem, and a reason why competing developers hate competing with them ... this is also why they want them to go "Blackberry"). There will be more errors, no doubt. But they will probably have a more successful launch, than Wii U had.

The "Cult Information Campaign" (Nintendo Direct) that Nintendo has produced hasn't helped those who aren't in the Know. People are still confused about the Wii U, and they haven't really done anything to help. What they need to do is use mockery. Mockery is an excellent tool to get people to change, or want to learn things. Displaying those who don't know anything about Wii U as idiots, or undesirable people.
Nintendo is doing a lot of work, toward those "Indies", but so are it's competition.
Iwata said: "One game has the power to change everything...Are we satisfied with these sales results? No. Is it impossible to recover from this? No." In the past, single games have caused consoles to sell like crazy. He didn't say they had one.
Having Iwata leave probably isn't the best idea. First of all, it's going to make people lose confidence. Second, whoever replaces him could be worse for the company.

Two things I could imagine, in the next 2-3 years: Nintendo adopting SEGA as a 2nd party. The Wii U getting an 'Expansion Pak' type add on.

There's a good chance that I won't be playing with a team

@jayclayx
What's wrong with ALBW? I think it looks fine...

The problem with LoZ is everyone is indecisive about style... if Nintendo held a test session with about 100000 people from all over the world, and different ages and genders and races... comparing 3 different art style, it would still end up 50/50 (I know, and impossible percentage, but that's the result).
I still think Nintendo should do some sort of polling about such styles.

It still doesn't make a lot of sense...

This is the first I've heard of this game being developed. I have no clue what "young justice" is... It looks like one of those Ec games, targeted at the 5-10 crowd.

"I'm waiting" is the most memorable quote, for me as well.

I have no beef against the development time (Then again, I'm the patient type). I'm just happy that they are working on it. Having one too often would make the series like Madden. I hope that day never comes.

So, If Ubisoft went with making the it a WiiU exclusive, Legends WOULD have sold; I guess there was an audience...

I'm sure if there was some program called Schkype Microsoft would be all over it.

Technically, you can legally download the game today, due to the time-zone differences
However, I'm getting retail, as my 3DS lacks the space :/
I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get at least one, as the local Best Buy doesn't seem to have too many Nintendo Fans...

@Nintomdo64 It's bad advertising. With cheap ripoffs, I'd imagine more people would be thinking "Why get real stuff, when I can get it free?"

Yeah, the emulators ARE legal, it's just software. The roms aren't. However, If you took away the emulators, then the roms wouldn't be playable.
Shouldn't anything submitted be checked first?

There's a good chance I'm going to get Pokemon Y Retail. If not, I'll download it.

I'm not sure why you'd want to pre-order a digital download, it isn't like there is a limited number of them.
@SkywardLink98 If they go too low, people begin thinking the software is too cheap/less quality.
Why are people bringing up the "32GB space problem"? That's a non-issue!
I bought Ocarina of Time 3D at the NY Nintendo store, and it wasn't a lower price.
When I got Windwaker HD online, It was almost $60 Canadian. At least I get bonus points on the Club Nintendo site...

I don't think Mango is a good idea....
Now "Spice" (Gamecube Orange) would have been a better plan.

@Mellowkarp : The problem with the writing is the fact that it doesn't offer valid reasons (Other than mentioning nostalgic bias...). Critical examination is great, but the article comes out as sort of pointless, especially with that remark at the end.
Most of the subjects I'm not sure why they are bothered with the "class". Why would you have a game set in a world with imperial rule, but have towns that have a capitalist democracy? It wouldn't make sense — at least not in this game. I'd also like to say, I believe (from the given quotes) the BOSS was more concerned with the laziness of the younger generation, workers or not...
The only reason it's racist is because they want it that way... It's light and dark. What if the Gerudos were green? What if they were pink? Since Ganon has been portrayed as dark, it may ruin continuity. Might as well be judging Star Wars of being racist. Ever see a classic western? Racist, sexist, classist....
The comment, from this guy, makes the author seem less redeeming:

A micro console would create greater confusion around what the Wii U is.
Since Wii is compatible with Wii U, they might have just gotten rid of the console — or micro console — which would inevitably caused greater sales of the Wii U.
Shouldn't there be some reference to iQue?
I would like to see some "Super 3DS" app from Nintendo. I'd pay for it, even.
I'm not apt to pay for a new '3DS TV', however.

The only time I'd ever do this would be do detail a glitch.

@Jese_1
I agree with you!
SM3DW is looking great! I was especially excited about the piranha-block, the "sneaky" Goomba, and being able to kick/toss bomb-balls around!
'Superstar' is my all time favourite game. I loved how this Kirby looks!

People who don't have a 3DS, don't want 3D, are under 7, or want something cheaper will find this a good deal... Great as a secondary 3DS.

@triforcepower73
I know, I know; But Every Link is supposed to be a child, that is to say, under adult. "Adult" is as much a general term as "toon". Toon and teen just sound better, because of the alliteration.

It's not adult Link, it's teen Link. Toon and teen Link.

I'm interested in what will come of this... Quite intriguing indeeeeeeed.
I've always liked Panasonic's products better than Sony's, anyway...
