I'm not concerned about Nintendo's losses after seeing the sales they made after they dropped the price, worked in better online features, and got some quality games out. With the strong push they appear to be making for online, I think there sales will be just fine for both 3DS and Wii U. I don't see them reaching the numbers that either DS or Wii made but they won't be far off and the money they make will probably be better because of stronger online.

I'd really like to know more on what they intend to do 3D wise for those who like the 3D features of the 3DS. Would love to see 3D netflix content. I'd also like to see more about there online set up and Nintendo Network. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they can pull off in the future.

Glad the Wii FINALLY got an online Street Fighter though it's on the late side. Better late then never though.

Better late then never.

There's no doubt in my mind that they'll easily beat this. However, when they do, this will of course make analysts shut it, make their stock rise, and make investors very happy.

I don't want too much of one game but whatever helps them get more systems in peoples hands. Personally, I think what Nintendo needs right now is stronger Western support to help push the 3DS and Wii U in NA and EU markets. The fact that Wii didn't have strong western support is what hurt it the most and when quality exclusive games did come, such as Goldeneye, they would sell much better then anticipated.

3DS needs this and so does Wii U. If these systems can have the variety and quality in 3rd party support and still have the awesome Nintendo first parties, they'll do very well.

Does this game REALLY need this many versions? If anything by now they should of brought the game to the other systems.

Very cool, Nintendo is always on it with them bundles.

I am REALLY looking forward to this game.

Well, I can't say I'm not happy it's coming, however, I'm pretty concerned about Mario getting franchise fatigue. Seems pretty soon for another Mario platformer, especially considering there's already so many other Mario games out and more on the way.

The Wiiware had some serious problems in every area. They had to make a completely separate channel to display the kind of information that you'd expect to be in the shop (the Nintendo Channel) which made browsing the Wii Shop one of the most tedious and cumbersome online shopping experiences out there. Furthermore, the lack of demo support for retail and vc games and the limited amount of demo's that would go away over time for the Wiiware was extremely bad.

With those mentioned problems and the ones mentioned by Beamdog, a lot had to be changed. Luckily, the eShop delivered BIG TIME on this. Personally, using the eShop, I feel it has features that make the service right on par with the top tier online stores making the shopping experience quick and simple, keeping people up to date with what's new and what's hot, and helping promote developers games. There's not much I can find wrong with it and quite frankly, if the Wii U is only going to improve on this, I don't see myself worried or complaining about its online store and really can't see where developers and publishers would be worried or complaining about it either.

I think I'll go check out that Pyramids demo.

Reading these articles is very refreshing after all the constant 3DS is doomed stuff that was floating around on just about every other site. 3DS is here to stay and I'm loving it!

This game is going to be amazing. Really looking forward to it!

This is awesome!

Now this looks pretty sweet. Looking forward to E3!

I have been playing this game nonstop (only stopping for sleep, food and bio breaks) since I got back from picking it up at gamestop around 11 AM. This has been an amazing adventure. Easily an instant classic.

Oh boy! Forgot all about this one. I'll be on the look out for it!

I'm so looking forward to Heroes of Ruin.

This is cool though I wish instead of all events being California or New York, Austin Texas would finally get something too....

This trailer is ultra cool

@Stuffgamer1
I completely agree. NoA should be trying to push these games big time...... but you know.... with the push for Wii Music and all.........

I know myself and friends who have purchased the 3DS haven't had eye strain, headaches or nausea and only know 1 person who has seriously had those effects... and they can't handle 3D anything, not just 3DS. One of the big issues with these people that may get this is most people want to just jump in looking at something full blast not realizing they need to gradually ease into it like 3D movies.

Anyways good article. I really do believe the 3DS launched too early and it should of seen a summer launch however I'm glad things picked back up for the system and stuff is looking good now.

Happy Birthday 3DS! Glad sales have picked up and games have been hitting the platform left and right! Can't wait to see what the future has in store!

Good list! 3DS has a lot of really good games at this point and a pretty big number of exclusives that easily make it a worthwhile system to purchase.

This game is very awesome, one of the better titles out there! Does not disappoint!

Ya. This game is easily worth the $40. Tons of content, fun gameplay, entertaining story, awesome soundtrack, local and online multiplayer, and although the graphics won't blow people away, they're very nice and keep up well!

As long as horror isn't taken away from the games in favor for a CoD clone. Fact of the matter is, I understand the series needs sales but the last thing we need is ANOTHER CoD clone.

Great review, I can't wait to get this game, I'm super excited for it!

I've been having my eye on the Ogre Battle games for some time now. I really need to pick them up. Agree with this list btw.

Michael Pachter..... when it comes to Nintendo he shouldn't and everybody else shouldn't try and predict anything.

This game is absolutely stunning! I'm loving it!

This is awesome!

I wanna play this.

Interesting rumor. We'll just have to wait and see E3.

I have yet to get a Wii Motion Plus. I know I need to, so I can grab Red Steel 2 and Skyward Sword as well as a few Wiiware games. It's just kind of annoying that after buying 4 controls at launch, a few years later, boom, new control piece/redesign.

Me personally, I prefer physical media and for games I really want to get, I'll always get the physical version (many times in a collectors edition) however, on that same note, a lot of games become hard to find very early on and those games having a digital version would completely stop this "rare game syndrome" we've seen most notably on Wii this generation.

Another thing is, while I prefer having a physical version of a game, honestly I don't have the room or space for every single system that the services between 360, PS3, Wii, and 3DS offer and I no longer have any of my old games previous to PS2/GC era do to them being stolen. So me personally, if I can get the older games digital, I'll be a very happy camper, which is also what I intend on doing with PSP games on Vita whenever I decide to purchase one.

I have yet to play the original Darksiders but I hope Darksiders 2 has enough originality to be its own thing.

@Heavy_Barrel Couldn't agree more. After a comment like that, it would be hard for me to want to play his games.

The Wii U seems to be getting a lot of stuff right, however I really do hope they have an account system up and running that digital games can be linked to, better online game stability, full on voice chat/group chat support from day 1, and the ability to send out game invites to all online games. These are the areas imo that all Nintendo systems are lacking. Even with HD, high powered consoles and a super amazing controller, all of that doesn't mean anything without these basic functions. Get online right and you can win over millions of gamers, do it wrong and well.... the ocean isn't blue anymore.

omg Last Blade!!! I want >.<

Very excited we're going to be able to play this one in NA!

Gossip comes, gossip goes. Nintendo remains. Just sayin.

I enjoy these Nintendo Directs though I always feel the NoA one is way too light on content and always leaves us wondering if we'll ever get stuff in NA. With that said, I'm still extremely happy to be getting The Last Story and Kid Icarus Uprising and I'm really looking forward to some announcements for some of these other games announced in the EU and JP Nintendo Directs.

I'm glad us in the America's are getting The Last Story but I sure would love it if I lived in Europe right now XD

I really want this game..... I need to move to Europe!

WOW the US artwork for Strider is bad lol

Anyways I'll probably be picking it up. Loving the MGS3D demo

I like redesign but love the 404!

Really hoping to see online go to the multiplayer games!

I wanted this so bad but wasn't able to get it when it first came out. When I finally was, it became super rare and super expensive... Really looking forward to this one

@Aronos Agreed, I'd still pick this game up and the other Wii games...

Very nice, this is especially good for the 3DS. Looking forward to the future
