Eh. What, like eight games would get released? There's still plenty of N64 games unreleased. My hopes are low.

Because, y'know, midnight totally makes sense for the North American one. Fer sure.

Too bad NOA is probably too lazy to realize the potential here. Definitely don't need anymore Wiimotes cluttering up the place!

@bezerker99 Wow... this has troll written all over it.

Exposure to new audiences? Hmm... EarthBound land, anyone?

Hey, Camelot. I have an idea. Take your Mario Tennis Open back, we can all pretend it didn't happen, and then release Mario Tennis Open DX with an actual RPG mode. Because that makes sense, releasing a console-esque MT game on a handheld.

@Corbs Couldn't agree more. I'm pretty sure anyone buying a Nintendo console is definitely in it for the exclusives. Any third party game that was multi plat I always got on my 360 anyway. I play Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, because there's nothing like them on earth!

NOO!!! TOMB RAIDER ON WII U WAS THE ONLY REASON I WOULD GET ONE. PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeee...

Because Miiverse seems like a really good idea, and it's outing friend codes, I'll welcome any change.

Unless a 3D Mario romp/whatever Retro is working on/Zelda game comes out before the black console, I'll be waiting. Nothing at E3 sold me on purchasing a Wii U day one, or anything close to that.

@tvnewsguy Wow, you must have been really spoiled. If I ever asked my dad to take a Christmas gift back to the store to exchange it, he would've been crushed... let alone something as expensive as an Atari. I can't imagine how bad your dad must have felt.

2012 Out!!

For someone with such an artistic, innovative brain, the guy sure has some bad ideas sometimes.

Kid Icarus: Uprising deserves to be the introduction to an evergreen status. Seriously, it's one of the best games I've played, ever. It is definitely a system seller for the 3DS! Sakurai should be revered as one of the best developers of our time... right up there with Miyamoto. His games are few and far between, but they're consistently game-changers. His wealth of ideas is nigh-unmatched.

How could WayForward make a mediocre game? Cereal?

Guys, I can't stress the importance of downloading Monster World IV enough... do you realize that if this gets enough downloads, perhaps other companies will take notice and release translated retro titles on VC? They probably thought it would lead to lost funds... but Sega's really stepped up to the plate with this one. Please!! Download this now!

Dillon's Rolling Western, and Pushmo both introduced new characters, so it's really not that big of a deal...

@grumblebuzzz You bought a 3DS in the first place because of the virtual console? Are you kidding me? Why wouldn't you get a Game Boy... the system's entire library is already at your disposal...

Wow. People are really spoiled if they think an enhanced port of a retail game is too much at 10 bucks. Sad, really.

I was on the fence about selling a kidney to import this... NOW I WON'T HAVE TO, JAJAJA

Jeeze, the UK needs to learn what good games are!

anyone else feeling that the huge reveal they might have planned is Smash Bros related?

Why are you guys so meh? lol, like you're not going to buy it regardless... Mario games are /always/ good.

They should pull a Rareware, and name it the World Ends With Two

This doesn't even make any sense. In the previous Game Boy title you were either a boy or a girl. Could've used the same logic, but had people use their Miis... really doesn't compute.

@ajcismo It's more that Microsoft doesn't want to share with Nintendo.Rare is controlled by them.

@Ecto-1 I'm pretty sure you can scrap together 8 bucks. XD

MATHEMATICAL!

I don't understand why many are complaining about the ground controls; I find them intuitive and not hard to get accustomed to at all! I guess it's just a difference of experience.

6th comment! Sounds like a good way to keep players playing this game, this game does.

Guys, calm down. Why would you want every good game to be released right away? Everyone is just whining. We got three VC releases last week..

Maybe it has something to do with keeping them up there costs more money than they're getting back?

Why are people whining about today's loot? We get FOUR Virtual Console games, and you're complaining about no demos. Whatever, guys. As for me, I will be thankful of today's swag and rub my 3DS's belly accordingly.

I don't know why everyone's complaining about not getting Grey. Essentially, this is a better outcome as it has two games to choose from and actually expands upon the story. I'm surprised people don't get upset about the third in each trilogy like yellow/crystal/etc because that's more of a rehash than this is.

Can't say I play a lot of third-party games; I'm not interested in RE:R, or any of the other 3rd party offerings that have been... offered. That said, being a Nintendo fanboy, but owning a 360, has proven to be an invaluable choice. Any third party games I care about I just get for the 360, and every first party IP from Nintendo I snatch up.

Loving the orchestral "Simple and Clean"

Tingle's was the best.

@antdickens: regarding what you said about people judging someone's opinion based on where they're from, leading to the removal of flags, I've actually never seen that happening and I frequent this site daily! I feel that's a little (and i Must stretch the word little, here) similar to Nintendo opting for a friend code system to avoid anything bad happening on the internet. If someone is going to judge someone based on where they're from, they'll probably just click on the user's info to find out first now. No sense in bringing the rest of us good citizens down! But oh well... what can one do. :<

FFFFFFFFF- BAAAHH. Love me some Wario Land! Yesssss.

It's radical, good job guys. Everything is a lot more streamlined and slick, also loving the bigger avatars. That said, I enjoyed seeing the little country flags next to posters' names... are the coming back? Not a huge issue, but it was neat is all. :3

After playing through Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones for the first time, I realized how bland and linear the Pokemon games are; they don't have to be, and I feel it would totally be an improvement to get some Grade-A writers up in that poop.

Star Fox + F Zero + Pikmin 3 at launch = <3

Physical copies, plz!

I love SM3DL! I'm still playing through the special stages... The level design is just so good. Let's hope this new one comes much sooner than April, 2013.

Quick, 3DS Ambassadors! Write up how fantastic Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is on Club Nintendo! Make Nintendo know we need this game!

@James, @Birdman13, it's obviously Animal Crossing!

I think this is a window of things to come; developers will feel that they don't want to bring a "vanilla port" over to the Wii U because of it's special capabilities... and they probably won't be bothered to develop something else. Cue a repeat of the Wii's third-party support.

Meehhhh, I wasn't too impressed by the demo. Maybe when this drops to, like, 10-15 bucks

I was one of the few who were blown away by the Wii U at last year's E3. I honestly want the Wii U to be my first launch-day purchase (besides the DSi... which doesn't really count...).

LOLA'S ALPHABET TRAIN??!??!/1 Doods, I don't even /care/ about no VC... we're sitting on a goldmine!
