rage quit after only 3 races since i knew i needed to win every race to win a prize, and on the third race the stupid coin item came up after I'd blocked a blue shell! Sadly I don't think any fair racers will actually win, with so many people jumping in/out of games!
seriously, why don't they just make it a full retail game on Wii U and add a ton of new items/features. i think that it would be better than Mariokart 8 financialy, as MK8 will make all the nintendo fans get a Wii U but not hardcore gamers. honestly, i own an Xbox 360 and pretty much the only games everyone plays is CoD, GTA, FIFA and guess what, MINECRAFT. this really would boost the Wii U's sales. plus, as everyone else is saying, the Wii U is perfect for this game. JUST DO IT MOJANG PLEAAASE
very hard vote for me with Donkey Kong, 3D World and Watch Dogs being my favourites. Had to go for Wind Waker HD since I've never played the original and its very highly rated
The first Zelda i played was OoT 3d, and funnily enough this wasn't the game that got me hooked, i thought it was good, but not amazing. It was actually my next Zelda game, Spirit Tracks, which got me hooked. I loved riding around on the train and the last boss was epic. Then I got Phantom Hourglass and i enjoyed it just as much as Spirit Tracks. Now I've given OoT 3d another chance and lets just say that there's no going back now. I love each of those games equally and I can't wait for WWHD. I'm 99.9% certain that Majora's Mask 3d will be made sometime in the next couple of years and I can't wait for that day. I'd love a sequel to Spirit Tracks but that seems unlikely.
i can't stand cheaters, there's just no excuse for it. the fact that every pokemon is different makes it much more realistic, and i wouldn't play pokemon if it was simple to get a perfect pokemon.
its annoying because these 'vintage' games are the exact games i want. I'd be willing to pay £40-50 on the metroid trilogy, but not on xenoblade. super mario all-stars on Wii is also becoming harder to get but that would make sense since it was a 25th anniversary thing.
i don't own a Wii U and i think there are enough great games to keep me hooked for a few years, (i never owned a wii so i've got plenty of games to get through) and the price doesn't seem too bad so why don't i own a Wii U yet? I'm not sure.
You'd think the Mario Galaxy games would have persuaded me into getting a Wii U but i think what i really want is an amazing Wii U game, and i think we'll see a couple in the next year or so. Personally, Mario Kart 8 is the game to make me buy a Wii U, and I'm planning on getting by the end of the year. Sure, a price cut would make me buy, but that would be silly i think. I just don't think the Wii U is appealing to anyone besides Nintendo fans. I think the gamepad is the thing that makes the Wii U the best console right now, and dropping that would be absolutely stupid. Apart from maybe ZombiU nothing is going to persuade any 'Hardcore Gamers' to buy a Wii U because everything else is already on other consoles. I would love to see the Virtual Console getting N64 and GAMECUBE games. that would quite easily make me buy, besides, then maybe i'd get to play the one starfox game i never got to play, Starfox Assault
I disagree with the above user. Apart from the Wii U's marketing, I think Nintendo's marketing is pretty good, though I'm not an expert on the subject.
The difference between playing on a phone and a real console is astounding in my opinion. even if i was playing ocarina of time, or mariokart 64, its just not the same, i wouldn't enjoy it.
calm me an idiot, but mario golf was my most anticipated games for this year, until they said it'd be out next year, so this gives me at least a little bit of hope
believe me or not i've found 5 wild shinies in my lifetime, - wurmple, ekans, zigzagoon, lilipup and jigglypuff - none that spectacular, although my orange cascoon was amazing, but i don't own any right now even though i have been searching for the past 6 months! plus i'm not a fan of being given pokemon, but i'll never turn down an event.
those top five games could not be better in my opinion, and im glad tomb raider is so high as that (plus starfox and mario) is probably my favourite franchise
a hd remake of the 2 gamecube starfox games would also do nicely, as the only other way i'd get to buy them at a good price is if they made them on the wii u eshop
@UnseatingKDawg I know it does look like Gaol's castle at first but as the guy said above, its Chapter 11 just before Viridi drops the bomb thing(forgot what it's called) on them, maybe that'll happen during the fight...
i think the 3ds success has sort of affected the poor sales of the Wii U. if it wasn't for all the amazing 3ds (and ds) games, i would own a Wii U by now, but i'm not complaining!
i own the other 2 but i haven't really enjoyed them that much. i hope they do some nintendo based puzzles in the new one, a bit like pullblox did because, as far as i know, there aren't any in e and e2. i'll still be getting e3 though, because they are quite fun.

@Ridien @Axed84
nice, shame they didn't make them gba games on the eshop though
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Reiterates That There's "Nothing to Announce in Terms of an Ambassador Program"
was it 10 nes AND 10 gba games, i thought it was just 10 nes and gba games?
