All indicators seem to point to this being a Wii U only release. Think of it this way: it costs about the same to get a Wii U as it does to buy a SNES cart of this game.
Wii U will be fine. It's only been a couple months. I think a console has to be out for at least a year before declaring it a failure or not... :/
@Jellitoe I'm getting my Wii U this Sunday with my tax return! ZombiU bundle here I come! I was actually waiting for my tax return to get a Wii U, that was the plan.
@kobe1724 And it's $40 at Target, $30 at Walmart, $30 at Best Buy, and $30 at Toys R Us. I had to have Target price match for me to get the $10 difference back.
Pricing, at least at launch, is usually consistent between retail stores. Weird.
Pssh guys, girl gamers are waaaay more common than you think you think they are! You'd be surprised! @Klinny pretty much summed up why some of them are reluctant to reveal it though. :/
However, as a girl gamer myself, I would like to say I do find the majority of the guys here at NintendoLife to be very nice. The good vibes here are one of the main reasons I like this place. :]
Also @MissGamerGirl amaaaaazing collection! My oldest console is my SNES ha.
@Highlar Heh heh, it is good timing isn't it? I just checked and I'll be getting my return this week! Argh waiting for next Sunday will be difficult...
Sweet! And yes you can just park/sit outside your local GameStop to get this Pokemon. I've done it for everyone they've put out that I managed to remember to get. If you got one in a mall just make it part of the trip if you are going shopping or to see a movie. Just stand nearby and take care of business.
And it's not cause I feel embarrassed to be into Pokemon at almost 30, it's just I don't really want to have to interact with any GameStop employees... >_>

You might as well get a Wii U.

HMMMM. Perhaps. I do like the look.

Re: Pokémon Scramble U Set To Be The First Wii U Title To Use The NFC Feature
Need more info on this but I can see this quickly becoming very expensive. And what about storing all those figures!?
Re: Four Classics Available Now in the Latest Club Nintendo Rewards
Umm wasn't Super Punch Out in the wave before the last one? :/
Re: Unannounced Square Enix Wii U Title To Be Revealed At PAX East
Hope it's exclusive to WiiU but probably just a port.

I am sooooo looking forward to this game!

Re: Talking Point: The Positive Power of Gaming
Wonderful article.
Re: Rhythm Hunter: HarmoKnight's US Price Is Revealed
@Erica_Hartmann Yeah! It'd sure go nicely along with my copy of Theatrhythm!
Re: Rhythm Hunter: HarmoKnight's US Price Is Revealed
I was hoping for $10, but I think I'm OK with $15. It really depends on how much content there is.
Re: Review: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (3DS)
The demo was awful for me. Thankfully I own this wonderful game on the Wii U instead.
Re: 3DS Stays on Top in Japan, but Wii U Falls Behind Vita
Ouuuch. Behind the Vita? Yikes.
Well it won't be for long.

Yeah I can't find the Sonic demo either. :/
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February 2013 (North America)
Was anyone else surprised the Wii U Monster Hunter demo is less than a gig?
Re: The Legend of Zelda Oracle Titles Coming to Japanese 3DS Virtual Console
Great news!
Re: F-Zero Available To Download Now In North America
For 30 cents there is no reason not to download this!
Re: F-Zero Available To Download Now In North America
@MrNiceGuy Why would it be in widescreen? LOL, it was made in 1990.
Re: Video: Iwata and Miyamoto Perform Skit As The "Luigi Brothers"
@TotalHenshin Agreed!
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February 2013 (Europe)
Oooooh F-Zero and that Monster Hunter demo better appear on the eShop tomorrow here in the States!
EDIT: Well looks like F-Zero already is!

Re: Review: Dig Dug (3DS eShop / NES)
@KnightRider666 They haven't made one in almost a year. It's a good idea, they should keep up with it. :/
Re: Review: Dig Dug (3DS eShop / NES)
@Windy Are they even making those anymore? I feel like it has been abandoned... :/
Re: Feature: The Big Valentines Nintendo Direct Summary
This was a good Nintendo Direct. Excited for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, HarmoKnight, and Kersploosh.
Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger looks good but I haven't played the first one yet. Although this one looks better than the first one.
New Super Luigi U looks great, but I'll need to get New Super Mario Bros. U first. ;p
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Is Coming To The Wii U
This game could be even more interesting with the game pad...
Re: 3DS eShop Sale is Underway in North America and Europe
Hmmm looks like I'll be picking up Sakura Samurai and Crashmo. Sweet.

Re: Retro Classics Harvest Moon And Legend Of The River King Coming To 3DS Virtual Console
@LittleIrves It's basically a fishing RPG.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Leaf Release Dates Announced For Europe And North America
Finallllllly!
Re: New Super Luigi U Confirmed as Future DLC for New Super Mario Bros. U
The Year of Luigi....I like the sound of that.
Re: Retro Classics Harvest Moon And Legend Of The River King Coming To 3DS Virtual Console
I already have River King on my GBC but I'd snatch up Harvest Moon if they'd ever put it up on the eShop...
Re: Zelda Miiverse Community Launches Today For Wii U
Arrrgh must...wait...till....Sunday....to get....Wii U....
Re: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Bundles Soaring Into Europe For Wii U and 3DS XL

Re: Review: Brain Age: Concentration Training (3DS)
@kobe1724 And it's $40 at Target, $30 at Walmart, $30 at Best Buy, and $30 at Toys R Us. I had to have Target price match for me to get the $10 difference back.
Pricing, at least at launch, is usually consistent between retail stores. Weird.
Re: Potential Wreck-It Ralph Sequel Should Have a Moment "Perfect for Mario"
Saw Bruce Boxleitner at a convention the other day. He said they had wanted to put Tron in the first film but couldn't but he should be in the sequel.
I thought the story in the film was just OK, I was more entertained by all the references in it. Worked for me. :]

Re: New ZombiU Hardware Bundle Shuffling Towards North America
If my tax return ends up being what I think it will be I was considering using part of it to buy a Wii U. What good timing for this bundle!
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th February 2013 (North America)
Probably buying Mega Man 2 and will definitely be getting Brain Age at the store this Sunday. I need to exercise my brain! ;p
Re: Feature: Wii U Blockbusters - What to Play While You Wait
"If in doubt, go retro"
Well honestly this should be the answer to everything...
