After this gaming was changed forever, a master class in how to make 3D games. I saw this running in a games shop and started running myself, home to get my Playstation to trade it in for an N64!
If this is the NX and has no disc drive it could still be backwards compatible with the Wii U. One way of doing it could be connecting it to your Wii U and installing them to the NX hard drive like how you install an xbox 360 game. You can then use your Gamepad with the NX or maybe it will come with a new improved compatible Gamepad. It sounds fiddly but will stop a lot of people complaining.
@TheRealThanos Ok you have piqued my interest, especially the scaling up or down as needed bit. We seem to be getting closer to a general agreement here, by the time it's released we will be in full agreement I reckon.
@TheRealThanos We will have to wait and see I guess but I still think it will be a hybrid or if not a home console with the option of purchasing the handheld portion at a later date.
@FragRed It will be a hybrid, how many Wii U owners wanted to play FE Awakening and Luigi's Mansion 2? How many 3ds owners would love to play Pikmin 3 and Bayonetta 2? Don't you see that if Nintendo are developing for one console we will get twice as many games. Their biggest problem has been releasing enough quality games but if they develop for one hybrid console then problem solved!
@MikeW It is possible but I seem to remember the Super FX chip was developed with Argonaut I think so that's the problem. This chip licensing must be the problem and that's why we have had no Stunt Race FX, Starfox or the original snes version of Yoshi's Island on Wii or Wii U VC. I want to see Starfox just as much as you do but I can't see it happening.
XC and XCX won't both fit on the same Wii U without some form of memory expansion, great forward thinking Nintendo. Wii U should have come with 150gb memory minimum!
Thanks Nintendolife, you lied to me about getting a game for free. I thought it was a reward for my loyalty from Nintendo. You should have said free to start as someone has already stated!
@Steel76 Unfortunately mate I don't think we will ever see it get a release along with Stunt Race FX and the SNES version of Yoshi's Island due to the FX chip debacle. It's a shame we can't play the original Starfox and it will probably be like that forever!
All these games would be put on the eshop if Nintendo had their way, £35 or £150 if someone bought all of them at an average of £5 each is a no brainer for greedy Nintendo! I salute you Microsoft and may get an xbox one for this.
@Mr_Zurkon Not rubbing it in but I am in the UK so I already have Zero Mission, would love to see Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn on the eshop. It is crazy that USA still doesn't have MZM, I feel your pain.

Re: Poll: Is Pokkén Tournament The Wii U Release You've Been Waiting For?
@SetupDisk Apologies for not liking something you think I should, how dull would it be if we all liked the same things?
Re: Poll: Is Pokkén Tournament The Wii U Release You've Been Waiting For?
Zelda is the Wii U release I am STILL waiting for!
Re: Poll: Is Pokkén Tournament The Wii U Release You've Been Waiting For?
I am over ten years old so I am as excited for this as I was by Splatoon, not even a little.
Re: Nintendo Continues to Consider the Prospects of the Movie Industry
Full length Pikmin movie made under the supervision of Miyamoto would be good, the shorts are excellent.

Re: Nintendo Download: 13th August (Europe)
I predict that we will get a Megaman game in next weeks download, if there's any left to release lol 😁
Re: Review: Star Fox 64 3D (3DS)
Picked this up sealed for £5 from Tesco, it's a classic and irresistible at that price!
Re: Mario Memories: Being Taken To A New World In Super Mario Galaxy
SMG 1 and 2 are for me the two best Mario games of all time, fun and imaginative.

Re: 3DS Can Last For Another Two To Three Years In The West, Says NIS America Boss
First chip put in it should be a Super FX chip, I am fed up waiting on Starfox!
Re: 3DS Can Last For Another Two To Three Years In The West, Says NIS America Boss
NX is a great name compared to Wii or Wii U
Re: 3DS Can Last For Another Two To Three Years In The West, Says NIS America Boss
NX means Nintendo Cross Play
Re: 3DS Can Last For Another Two To Three Years In The West, Says NIS America Boss
NX will be out by Christmas next year too, calling it now.

Re: Talking Point: Fatal Frame's Trial Version and Limited Edition Highlight Nintendo's Shifting Approach to Retail
Why don't Nintendo release their own hard drive for the Wii U?
Re: Talking Point: Fatal Frame's Trial Version and Limited Edition Highlight Nintendo's Shifting Approach to Retail
@Pablo17 I agree, this game will probably be around 10gb in size which makes the 32gb Wii U Premium storage seem ridiculous.

@MikeW Don't bother waiting for SNES Starfox, it's never coming unfortunately!
Re: Nintendo UK's Summer Tour Kicks Off This Month With Super Mario Maker And Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash In Tow
@NintendoLee That seems harsh, no Mario games have been released lately!

Re: Review: Mercenaries Saga 2: Order Of The Silver Eagle (3DS eShop)
Apart from the above good review!
Re: Review: Mercenaries Saga 2: Order Of The Silver Eagle (3DS eShop)
6th paragraph down refers to a game called Mercenary Sage 2, is this a spinoff lol?
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Wii U Bundle and Special Edition Confirmed for Europe, Wii Original on the eShop Now
@JacketsNest101 Yeah you're right, I just tried it with Resi 4 Wii Edition and it doesn't work with just the Gamepad either
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Wii U Bundle and Special Edition Confirmed for Europe, Wii Original on the eShop Now
@Cyberbotv2 the physical copy is identical to the digital one and both work with the classic controller so both work with the gamepad
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Wii U Bundle and Special Edition Confirmed for Europe, Wii Original on the eShop Now
@Yorumi And you can't get the discount unless they are on the same Wii U, oh dear!

Re: Super Smash Bros. Version 1.1.0 Update is Now Live
@TheGreatLord Each stage costs £1.79 or £2.69 for Wii u and 3ds.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Is Getting A Massive Update On July 31st
Has the update gone live yet and what is the file size?
Re: Super Smash Bros. Is Getting A Massive Update On July 31st
Everyone who says the dlc is pricey but gets it anyway is telling Nintendo that's a fair price thanks a lot Ninty!
Re: Super Smash Bros. Is Getting A Massive Update On July 31st
Would be nice but I can't see it personally
Re: Super Smash Bros. Is Getting A Massive Update On July 31st

Re: Super Smash Bros. Is Getting A Massive Update On July 31st

Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd July (Europe)
Oh and Scud Race 3D too please Santa!
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd July (Europe)
@Windy Well said sir! Also I would like to play Chu Chu Rocket again, I think it would work well on the 3ds with the stylus.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd July (Europe)
Daytona USA 3D please Sega....oh and Sega Rally 3D.....oh and Virtua Fighter 3D would be awesome!
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd July (Europe)

Re: Nintendo Download: 16th July (Europe)
@ikki5 Biggest gaming region is Europe I think you will find.
