@StraTTtheRipper , it does not seem like it a big priority for Nintendo. I am guessing most of the casual/family crowd that Nintendo picked up with the Wii will not be upgrading to Wii U. As such, First party console-selling titles are probably a bigger priority. That said, I do not think we have seen the last of Wii U fit.
Oh goodness, my body is ready. The ones that are MUST haves for me: Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD, Rayman Legends, Mario Kart, 3D Mario, Sonic Lost World. Man, my wallet is gonna be hurting! I am having trouble deciding which to vote for in the poll haha.
That's really cool. At 700 coins it is pretty expensive! I just got platinum about a month ago, and have already spent some of my coins. I wonder what the platinum gift will be this year. I hope its something cool, I have spent too much money on video games this year! =P
I agree with b_willers that the pad rattling is annoying. I bought the Wii U basic to save money (ironically I ended up later buying Nintendo land). What a mistake that was: terrible storage space (almost entirely used up from the day 1 patch), plus none of the extra nice things included with the deluxe. Don't get me wrong, I love the Wii U, and the games that I have for it, I just feel kind of ripped off. I should have gone with the deluxe.
Cool! The pro controller would be more comfortable for this game than the Wii U gamepad. With regards to New Super Luigi U, I am going to get the retail copy. Gotta love that green box!
This does not bother me in the least. As long as it is still coming to the Wii U and I can get my hands on a copy, I will be happy. In any case I still need to play Origins! (I bought Origins just a couple of weeks ago)
This looks really fun. I will definitely have to pick this up. It looks like it is hearkening back to Sonic's old days, in terms of gameplay (it even shows him rescuing critters at the beginning!!).
@Best_ , I totally agree with you on selling/trading in used games: its a rip off. I try to avoid selling games to retailers if I can. I would much rather sell it for a comparable price to a friend who will actually play the game and not sell it back immediately for 300%.
This is too bad. The online requirement and the restriction of used games is not fair to the consumer, although I can see how Microsoft would want to make a buck or two off of used game sales.
I think in the long run this policy towards used games will lose console sales for Microsoft, which I think should be a larger concern than the used games market.
Great article! So much nostalgia! When I think of my childhood, my thoughts always return to pokemon. My first game was Yellow. I later had Crystal. I have also played through Sapphire, Diamond, Black, Mystery Dungeon, Hey You Pikachu, Colosseum, Pokemon Channel, etc...
The only Pokemon game that I did not enjoy was Pokemon Black. I really disliked that game. I have loved all of the other games. I am really excited for X/Y.
I was a huge fan of Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2, I would love nothing more than to see an expansive Pokemon Stadium 3 title! Not another Colosseum (even though I loved the first colosseum) but a full fledged successor to Stadium 2! I have emulated both stadiums on my computer with friends, but it does not hold the same magic as playing the game in front of the TV. If they will not release a sequel they could at least put both Pokemon stadiums on VC (or if I had my way: a sequel AND both games on VC).
Awesome! FAST looks really cool! It would be cool to see it on Wii U. As other people have mentioned, an F Zero on Wii U would be AWESOME. F-Zero would look absolutely beautiful with Wii U's HD graphics. I feel like an F-Zero title would definitely be a sales booster for the console.
It would be cool to have a Kingdom Hearts game on the Wii U. I miss the original PS2 game. I have never owned a playstation, but I played it at a friends house.
Finally some good news! I think that this upcoming holiday season is going to be a somewhat of a renaissance for the Wii U.
Also, what is it with all the console ranking? "Xbox one will be 3rd," "it will be between PS4 and Wii U to see who wins," etc... Who cares? I think both the Wii U and PS4 will do pretty well.
From what I have played on a friend's 3DS, I have to say that I love it because it offers a home console experience in a portable handheld. I cannot wait to get my own midnight purple 3DS! Its going to be a while; I hope that they do not discontinue the color

This seems pretty pointless. All for a game that was not even good in the first place....
Re: Interview: Next Level Games Excited to Work on More Nintendo IPs
@King_Boo , a new Wave Race game would be fun. However I do not know who the best team to do it would be.

Re: Video: This Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies Trailer is a Treat
I have not played a Phoenix Wright game before, although the concept is cool!
Maybe someone should make an attorney SIMULATOR; it would probably be pretty boring.....

Re: Warren Spector: Underestimate Nintendo "At Your Peril"
@AltDotNerd , I love the Squirtle Squad picture
Re: Warren Spector: Underestimate Nintendo "At Your Peril"
As long as Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft are all making consoles, people will continue to trash on and underestimate Nintendo. C'est la vie.
Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo Virtual Boy
It would be nice to have Virtual Boy games on 3DS. I have never played one, although I would like to have the experience at least once.

Re: Ubisoft Reveals E3 Lineup
I would love to see South Park: The Stick of Truth on Wii U, but that is highly unlikely.

This looks promising. I have never played a Harvest Moon before (I want one for 3DS) but this concept looks fun.
Re: Amazon Listing For Wii U Version Of Off-Road Racer DiRT Slides Into View
I'm not too disappointed. Sonic and All Stars, Mario Kart U, and Project CARS should satisfy my racing needs.
Re: Rumour: Retro's Wii U Title Is An Entirely New IP
A new game would be cool. An F-Zero would be cool as well!
Re: Oh Snap, Now Rayman Legends Is Coming To PS Vita With Exclusive Content

Re: Review: Banjo-Kazooie Symphony by The Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra
