I love this article. The wii mote is great & i will miss playing games that utilized it really well. I hate that developers didnt give it a chance & that Nintendo didn't really back it.

Tbh im fed up of people being negative toward Nintendo. Fed up of hearing the word gimmick. People fail to recognise that Nintendo basically invented the pads that the use on other consoles. Shoulder buttons, 4 front facing buttons, analog controls, wireless pads, rumble feature, motion controls. Yes they may not have been first in creating those things but they certainly did them well enough for everyone to follow suit.

Are you actually getting three different games or just different modes? It just seems to me that they are getting more money out of games and nobody seems bothered by that. Most games these days feel episodic anyways. First you play the broken version then they drip feed you patches until the game finally works properly.

One of the great things about Resident Evil was unlocking the other modes to play once you finished the game and there was no Dlc, no other game to buy to play these modes. Why do we accept this stuff?

Wow. Such negativity. Seems that everybody just wants a ps4 with Nintendo slapped on it. If you want all that stuff, go buy another console.

Loved this game and still own it. Might get back on it because i never found all those villager things.
What were they called?

All this has led me to believe that the NX is definitely a crossover device. I remember that mariokart ad in japan where some guy was playing on what looked like a smaller wii u gamepad. I think that was the nx. Thats why it was blurred out. Why would they blur out a wii u gamepad? Makes no sense. Cant wait to be walking around with this and being rewarded for it aswell.

Mega yoshi looks great!

@Cyberbotv2 Love the Moonwalker pic. I still own that game. boxed with manual.
I'm soooooooo with you on No Mercy on vc. The version that isnt broken. I would be so happy with that.

Love this game!! So glad this is coming to vc. Was gonna buy this for the N64 but now i dont have to.

Quick question tho, will the new Mario Tennis game use motion controls like Wii sports?

Gameplay over graphics has always been the way. I still have old tvs to play my old consoles on and dont really care about HD. Ive just read alot of negative words attached to things in these comments and i find that that is the main reason alot of people stay away from so called "outdated" tech.

I am so fed up with games using up all their space to make a rock look like a rock instead of making the game longer and enjoyable. I fully agree with everything that he has said in this interview.

I find alot of this talk extreme. I think the big n is going in the right direction. Look how much people have to say about this new thing they have'nt even shown yet. Quite impressed really.

I like the miiverse updates. Rules are rules and im glad nintendo stick to their guns. Its not like you get an instant ban. It takes a few questionable posts to get banned so if you haven't learned after your first and second warning you totally deserve to be banned.

I dont think the Wii U is done. I think the NX will tie everything together. All this new membership talk and mobile gaming hype, aswell as free form displays, make the NX really interesting.

Seems like nobody is pleased at all. I haven't enjoyed E3 at all this year from anyone. I do think Nintendo are focusing on next year but what exactly that will be is anybodys guess. (Im talking about content not the NX)

Sony and Microsoft have a lot of 3rd party support but like always we know next to nothing about the features of alot of those games.
More games equals more failure.

Pre ordered this game in April. Cant wait for it to come out!

Well just look at the wii. The now sell it with no online connectivity at all. There was no backlash to that whatsoever. I could move all my stuff to the wii u but then my wii wouldn't be worth keeping. This digital era stuff scares me. I knew things were gonna go this way. They always say its about cost when really its about control and nobody seems bothered.
I was fooled for thinking that i get "free" games on my ps4 but thats all a lie. I have to pay £40 A year to play them and they can be deleted or changed whenever they feel like it. Again, nobody seems bothered by this practice. They think its great and it just leaves me baffled.

I don't know if Nintendo invented all of that stuff first but I do share your views. I have a Wii U purely for innovation. I personally think that the gaming world is missing out on a gamepad for a controller. Im pleased that Sony added a touchpad to their controller but it would have been better if they used a gamepad with a screen. It annoys me that nobody gave the gamepad a chance. It truly is "next gen". Most people have touch screen phones, tablets and use touch screen ATMs or self service check outs. We are used to touching screens all the time and it felt like the natural direction to go in.
The voice recognition thing isn't used nearly enough to make people feel comfortable doing it and that's the only "innovative" thing I can see from both those companies. Its just a shame people don't like things that are different.

Also, the feature that puts the Wii U ahead of the rest has to be the T.V remote button. What a genius idea!

Over saturation is exactly what has hurt Nintendo. I remember waiting impatiently for Banjo-Kazooie to be released. Delay after delay until I finally got it and then I was the happiest person ever. After this point it seemed like delays happened more frequently and less games were being released. My friend on the other hand had a Playstation and it seemed like he was getting 7 games a week to choose from! This instantly shifted him away from Nintendo with the reasoning "why wait weeks to play games when I can play one NOW?"
He didn't care about quality at all. Just as long as he had something new to play every time he went to the shop. Gaming seems to have completely gone that way

Greed does come into all of this. These companies talk like they live off of nothing but bread and water in a little shack slaving away to make some money from a little computer game. Greed is what is killing all these industries and I think its time they reigned it in. They are forcing everything onto us and convincing us that we want or need it.

@Quorthon Its nice to see someone with an opinion. I've just read everything and you handled it great. I still feel that its tiny little things that the big N do themselves that make people mistrust third parties. The Nintendo seal is 1 thing. Makes it sound like its gone through hell and passed with flying colours and another thing is that they don't really support most games with adverts or anything at all. Marketing is very minimal with Nintendo.

I hope my 7300 points is enough for that coin. Saying that tho, They might price it really high because everybody will want one!

Really want any game to take advantage of the panoramic view. With all the virtual reality headsets coming out, would be good to see the big N do something awesome.

Yeah... I think that they just need to release more games on virtual console with cheaper prices. A lot of us already bought these games first time round. I remember paying £50 to £60 on DK64 and don't wanna pay more than £5 for it now.
A big factor for me buying the wii u was that it has no monthly subscription and I can download and play those games when I choose after that point. PSN says it has free games but you have to keep paying your monthly subscription fees to play them as I recently found out after buying one.

I don't want subscription fees for Nintendo but with all this new business and a new member service talk, I cant help but think that that is the way that they are going to go anyway.

Will be Downloading this as soon as I get home. So happy to see the Baby Park track. Not so happy about the characters.
