Very excited to know Pencil Test is considering Wii U! I played the Neverhood far too much when I was a kid so a crowdfunded spiritual successor is awesome.

@Shadow100 I bet smash bros will release sometime next year. Namco is helping out with development.

Glad to know this game is fun, though bite sized. Sometimes games that are enjoyable regardless of length is never a bad thing.

I had to adjust my pledge for the Wii U. Its so awesome to see their support for the system!

I preordered a retail copy of Injustice for Wii u, not into paying full price for a digital version tied to only one Wii u.

@jpxdude yeah I definitely agree. Itll be fun talking with others on miiverse.

I never played the gameboy color original, nor the WiiWare remake. I need to download one of those versions!

Toki Tori 2 looks very interesting as well. Nonlinear games are loads of pain, especially when it comes to puzzle games but sometimes its worth it. I give the devs kudos to their commitment to create a game they wanted to.

just backed this project!

This game is my first eShop download. It's loads of fun with a friend on their own separate screen.

I was torn on the decision to buy Nano Assault Neo or Mighty Switch Force since those are the first download games to be $9.99. I figured since the game had 2 player, it would be a better investment.

323 isn't too bad for the Wii U browser, though I doubt I'll use it much. The PS3 web browser is a nightmare to use.

@Rogue76 Yeah, I'm so pleased to know I can play La Mulana and Cave Story on Wii U!

I read earlier in the comments about someone talking about playing Wiiware and VC games on the Gamepad; I would love to have that feature!

@Vampire-Jekyll Yeah, I totally wanted one of the PS2 BC PS3s but they were way too expensive. I totally loved the exclusive MGS4 Charcoal PS3 (also PS2 BC) but they are way expensive on ebay now adays. If the Wii U was $600 like the PS3 originally debuted, I would never get one until a price drop. Its so wonderful to buy a New Nintendo system for $300- $350.

The latest Original Wii models got rid of GC support. They removed the GC controller and memory card slots. Its a shame but I bet those who wanted to play GC on a Wii already have one those models years ago.

@FonistofCruxis I wouldn't imagine them discontinuing them. The Wii consumer base is huge.

Glad to see the points currency fazing out. I've had 300 points on my wii for a couple years. I would love to apply it to my 3DS eShop.

Sonic and Sega All-stars Racing Transformed should be just fine for the final build. Another article on this very site came out after this was written, says the fixes are already in effect.

I never played the Wii version of the original Sonic and Sega All-stars racing because I assumed it would be low par. I played the 360 version instead.

@BluTyGer Ok, I did some searching online and found this promo code: EMCNAJB243

It looks familiar to what I used. Never hurts to try it right?

@BluTyGer Newegg had sent an email with the code. One place to keep up to date with game deals is Cheap Ass gamer ( http://cheapassgamer.com/ ) I check that place regularly since the forum community is so informed and up to date of sales. I'd recommend a worth see!

New Egg ( http://newegg.com/ ) has $10 of any pre-orders for games $29.99 or more! Pre-order the game and apply the $10 off, resulting in $32-35 final price!

Still a very impressive launch line-up!

I think Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed will be great for Wii U. I pre-ordered a copy at Newegg with $10 of any pre-order, only paid $32 out the door!

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is another great looking game. Not bad for a first fighting game on Wii U.

@A-Hungry-Banker It's the same developers! Shin'en Multimedia is also famous for the Iridion games on the GBA.

Got myself a Deluxe at Kmart; they screwed up and listed the Deluxe for $299.

@GazPlant I thoroughly enjoyed the original as well! I think I mght have been one of the few to purchase the Ryo Hazuki Forklift; don't care, since I love Shenmue.

@Oregano I suspect it was an older build. The beauty of modern games is updates; if Sega doesn't have a high frame rate a simple patch/update could do the trick. One example was Ridge Racer Vita; Namco launched the game with frame rate hiccups and fixed the game with an update.

Dang auto correct... *transfer it to Wii U

If I buy this on my wii, I ought to be able to transfer I to Wii U?

Heads-up: K-Mart is offering the Deluxe Bundle for Pre-Order!

I checked there last night and get this; They had the Deluxe Bundle for $299 and I ordered it instantly, free shipping. If you check now, they fixed the mistake to $349. I wonder how many, including myself, got $50 off for the Deluxe?

Update: I just looked at the listing on kmart.com ( http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_018W005471094001P?adcell=promorow3wiiu&adCell=W7]<a) and now it says it releases November 30, though Nintendo announced the 18th.. When I ordered last night, it said November 18. Maybe Kmart's shipping it out then?

@Maggots Hehe, I took so long to write my post, you're post showed up before mine! Awesome that we both mentioned Newegg!

SD cards are another good idea to add extra storage. I mentioned SSD's, though @Maggots might have a better approach, seeing as how much cheaper they are in price for larger GB. SSD's are rather expensive for sure!

Hey Everyone: Check out Newegg ( http://newegg.com/ ) for an SSD and buy and external enclosure. I bought a 60GB SSD for my comp, running Ubuntu 12.04. SSD's have ZERO moving parts; they are like a flash drive but formed in the shape of an HDD. I figure most of us know what SSD's are though, had to explain just in case someone here doesn't know about them.

Oh, this is the SECOND place I've read "Memory" instead of "Space/ storage" Memory, as in RAM, Space or storage for additional data. ;P

@kobe1724 The lag issue is caused by the HD TV; look in the settings on the TV and there should be something called "Game Mode." That will fix the problem. A lot of recent HD TVs run at 120 Hertz refresh rate instead of 60 hertz.

@Squirtodile I am ready too, though my wallet will be sad. I need to start saving!

@Karakato Impossible, seeing as how Nintendo is publishing the game.

Capcom published RE4 on GC, so the there was no contracts or exclusive partnerships.

For some reason I get really excited for these conferences! So cool!

I truly believe a lot games would benefit as digital distribution. Capcom could release games such as EX Troopers on the eShop to directly track the performance and sales.

I don have a problem with with the desIgn and layout of the original. I truly hope the 3DS XL has a crisp screen. If so, I'm definitely picking one up!

I also own a Vita and the screen quality is definitely surperior since its an OLED screen. I love both handhelds this generation so it's no big deal. It's the games that count after all!

I truly hope for some surprises from Nintendo's Software conference like the rest of you. However, I will be prepared for little new games. I bet they will focus on what games we are already aware of and what they have shown at the last conference. Luigis Mansion Dark Moon, Paper Mario Sticker Star, New Super Mario Bros 2, Animal Crossing, etc. I do suspect Nintendo will talk about the newest Fire Emblem for the 3DS; it's selling wonderfully in Japan.

Oh if you don't know already, you can download the latest trailer NSMB2 at eShop! If this trailer is any indication, Nintendo will release trailers for their upcoming games on the eShop tonight/ tomorrow, as they did last E3!

The art is sold on their etsy site, I might pick up their DQ art!

Sakura Samurai Art of the Sword is a great download title. I'm just glad it released stateside. Why not on the list?

That's some great news, I'm glad xseed is responsible for the US release, I bet they approached Nintendo about it!

My demo is downloading as I type this! I cannot wait to try the demo out before I get the game. I didn't want to buy RE Mercenaries to try the game out. I just hope it's a new demo instead of a months old.

I still have to say I never thought Mario and DQ were going to be in a same game; weird, yet I like the idea.

I have yet to play ANY of these Mario & Sonic games. I just wasn't interested, not now either lol.

I know these games, especially the first two sold amazingly well for Sega; I glad but it's too bad some of their more original games couldn't get the same results.

@Bubbab55 I highy doubt it. He was just expressing his view.

I think however, its a cool idea. I'm waiting for my copy of MK7 to arrive in the mail to check out the feature Miyamoto disliked.

I voted for covers for both titles.

It's very possible that NOA is paying attention to voters outside Europe.

Polls are a perfect way to gain proper input. EA has had polls for some of their sports titles to help decide characters and boxart covers. I loved the idea that EA wanted consumers to decide what characters were going to appear in NBA Jam using polls!

The Metroid series definitely needs to go forward from Fusion. No prequels or in-betweens, just tell Samus' story.

Though its a bit linear, Metroid Fusion is wonderful. I want to know what Sakamoto does after this game. I know Sakamoto has been hinting at Dread for ahwile now so I won't be surprised if its the next game to come out.

Even though fans were not happy with Other M, I definitely was. Nintendo and Team Ninja are an interesting collaboration. They made Samus a bit faster, more up-close and personal, and the game had pretty nice graphics for wii. Team Ninja is definitely going to be involved in some for or another, if not already are working with Nintendo as we speak.

On a side note, I love the Metroid level in DOA Dimensions!

@Zenman I love Metroid Zero, definitely an awesome remake of the original. Thanks to that game, Zero Suit Samus appeared on Smash Bros Brawl!

My first fondest memory was Metroid 3 (Super Metroid). That was the beginning of addiction to Samus.

That was the first time I found out Samus was female. I never beat the NES original, as that one was rather difficult when I was a kid.

I have beat every Metroid title, save for Metroid 2, however, I really hope it releases on the 3DS VC!

I missed this on the PS2 in 2005, then it became rare and worth a butt loads on ebay and amazon.That aside, I am so pleased! I was hoping to hear about this! It shows that publishers are finally sticking close for release dates between territories! I can remember having wait almost two years for some games to release and Japan was done and with a particular title.

This game should be loads of fun, as pretty much anything Nintendo makes is awesome! I really do hope it comes this year but I've definitely learned that games miss their release dates, especially with Nintendo's track record (I love Nintendo but they love delays sometimes).

I can't imagine Capcom charging for a demo, though I could be wrong. Otherwise I think its great that a third party company is ready to release something on the eShop at launch! I can't wait to check it, especially seeing the trailer!
