Yes the 3DS looks set for a great 2016, much better than last year. Almost makes up for the Wii U drought. Really looking forward to pokemon and DQ games the most!
The wii u had some great games but the console itself felt out of date as soon as it came out..the gamepad is very clunky and the machine is underpowered..asymmetrical gaming is pretty limited in scope and the wii u didnt seem to have the juice to utilise what potential it had. Without this the wi u had no unique selling point apart from standard exclusives.
This playstation virtual reality thing is going to be huge i reckon...people are fascinated by the idea of virtual reality gaming and this is the best option to do it. NX needs to be announced now if it's going to compete with the hype this year, otherwise it'll struggle to catch up.
Haha i've already spent so much money on that game...the wii u game, the 3DS game, the gamecube adapter, gamecube controller, 30 odd amiibo..hey why not buy it again!!
I have highest hopes for Star Fox. I hope the delay has given Nintendo a chance to really nail an exciting and engaging original game!! And Fire Emblem for 3DS is gonna be sweeeet.
I had a dream I had an NX last night..it was a virtual reality based console, with quite a few games. The most interesting was like an open world game set in Mushroom Kingdom, where I was trying to work through a grass maze and avoid wigglers. The other games were ports of Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros Wii U, and Splatoon 2. The VR headset looked pretty standard, when you switched it on the nintendo logo game up in silver and sprung up around you, it looked great!! Hopefully my dream will come true!!
Well let's hope it's a lot better than last year...two great games for Wii U and sod all for the 3DS. How anyone voted it a great year for Nintendo is beyond me....my faith in Nintendo is running low these days.
I don't understand why miyamoto feels he has to choose between 2d and 3d mario games...they are totally different franchises with different teams working on them. So what the 2D games sell better but the 3D ones sell great as well, and really improve nintendo's reputation as a innovative company. They find resource to make pikmin bloody 4 but not the game everyone wants....so incredibly frustrating!!!!!!!!
Any news of new game releases is welcome. I'm sure it'll be a laugh. Even if it doesn't look like the world's great fighting game, it is good to know there's still stuff happening for Wii U next year.
The actual presentation itself with the puppets was amazing, it was only the lack of announcements that was the disappointment....if they'd done exactly the same thing with better games we all would have been over the moon.

Re: Nikkei Report Suggests That Wii U Production Will End in 2016

Re: Jigglypuff amiibo is No Longer a Target Exclusive in North America

Re: Editorial: Xenoblade Chronicles X Has Tiny Text - Time for an Update?
Time for an eye test, Tom!
Re: Minecraft on Wii U Won't Feature Inventory Management on the GamePad Screen
that is big news.
Re: Talking Point: The Latest Nintendo Direct Was a Bright Return to the Limelight
Yea, pretty disappointed. Too much reliance on old games. Surely Nintendo must have some fresh ideas kicking about somewhere!
Re: Sprixie Joins the Ranks in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
Super cuteeeeeeeeeee
Re: Nintendo Reports Profits as System Sales Show Positive Momentum
It seems two high quality and original games can work wonders for stabilising sales. Not great obviously, but respectable at least.
Re: Mario History: Super Mario Maker - 2015
Best Wii U game by a long way, and I love Smash and Mario Kart. Essential purchase. Best game I've played in years, to be honest.
Re: Guide: Unlocking Building Items And More In Super Mario Maker v1.01
Yea why spoil the fun of unlocking things gradually, I'm quite proud of the levels I made on day one with limited assets.
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Named As New Nintendo President
Good luck to him, and it's very ageist to say he's too old. Nonsense as well, he must have great experience.
Re: Mario Memories: Rediscovering the Wonder in Gaming With Super Mario Galaxy
@Kirk Journey is brilliant but very short, and not really a 3D platformer is it...bit of an odd comparison imo.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Wants to Produce Another Super Mario Galaxy, But is Waiting for the Right Opportunity
I don't understand why miyamoto feels he has to choose between 2d and 3d mario games...they are totally different franchises with different teams working on them.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire 'Starter Boxes' Coming to Europe in October
I've never played any of these Pokemon dungeon games...how do they compare to the main series?
Re: Poll: Is Pokkén Tournament The Wii U Release You've Been Waiting For?
Any news of new game releases is welcome. I'm sure it'll be a laugh. Even if it doesn't look like the world's great fighting game, it is good to know there's still stuff happening for Wii U next year.

Good news!
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Dismissal of Chris Pranger Highlights Issues With Company Culture

Re: Nintendo Seeks Improvement at E3 2016, Though Miyamoto Defends Near-Term Rather Than "Dream-Like Demonstrations"
The actual presentation itself with the puppets was amazing, it was only the lack of announcements that was the disappointment....if they'd done exactly the same thing with better games we all would have been over the moon.
