I really hope you're wrong, the Wii U had a lot of potential that has not been realised. It's only been a few years since launch, I'm not interested in another console launch, and then another wait for games to be made for it, just as the PS4 gets into its stride too. Nintendo needs to stay committed to the Wii U, and pull off some asymmetrical classics that Nintendo Land hinted it could be capable of.
@TwilightAngel Haha i know what you mean, it makes it worse in a way - we know exactly what you want but we've done something we know you won't want. Thanks a lot. That said, I think the negativity towards the game is more a representation of the general lack of blockbuster games on the horizon, bar Starfox and Zelda which we've known about forever, and have taken a long time to make. As people are saying, Reggie is deliberately hinting there's a lot going on behind closed doors. Don't we already know there isn't another Metroid Prime currently in production though?
Now the E3 dust has settled, I've accepted it's going to be pretty quiet for the next year. However, if there's nothing spectacular announced in the next 12 months I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy a PS4.
@Cia fair enough but in reality it'll be a console everyone can afford which isnt powerful enough to run multiplatform games..a problem Nintendo needs to solve to survive long term.
@SnuggleMon I think it's fair comment to say Nintendo could prepare better for the mad rush, I've put my card details in about 20 times now trying to download Lucas. There has to be a better solution to this highly predictable predicament!
@LunaticPandora Ha, it may have been four years but I'm sure they could make more if they wanted to....it'd be great if they could build some synergy with MK8, like with Smash Bros., though that's quite wishful thinking
@Mus1cLov3r Call of Duty? No I'm talking about handheld games like Super Mario Land, designed so it's actually possible to finish them without the batteries running out!!
Can't wait to see what bat-s*it crazy nintendoid mobile games the big N is gonna dish out to us. Hoping to finally have something good to play on the sh*tter instead of frickin' Angry Birds
@MeloMan me too, i really hope there is a British voice cast on this game, it was so refreshing on the first one, and the baddies voices made me laugh a lot too!
@Ootfan98 I was worried about it as used to my 3DSXL but I'm sold on the smaller size. The image is more crisp too which is a bonus, and it's noticeably larger than the original 3DS. Give it a try and see what you think
I have one and I love it. I was going to wait for the XL as I have a 3DSXL but glad I didnt, this is so much more portable, looks way cooler, and the screen is just the right size. I've been playing Smash on it and it worked like a dream and could easily see what was going on...Nintendo have really nailed the design on this one.

Re: Tablets Stole The Wii U's Thunder, Laments Shigeru Miyamoto
Oh no, 'affordable' means 'underpowered'. Sad times.
Re: Editorial: Nintendo's Approach to amiibo is Increasingly Frustrating
@Area57 I agree, it'd be boring if they were easy to find, what makes amiibos fun for me is trying to track down the rare ones!

Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2 Available to Download Right Now

Re: Official GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U Available Again on Amazon in the US
@Nintendude789 that's good wouldn't want to cause an upset!

@JeffreyG maybe for you mate, i'm pretty quick at games most of the time.
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (New Nintendo 3DS)
The problem with this game is that its so long your batteries will run out before you can finish it
