I am playing Ryu in smash and enjoying fun and engaging online matches in splatoon.. Thanks Nintendo!

Well honestly I wasn't blown out my pants and really had to take a seat back and analyze everything before I made a judgement. I think that what Nintendo does well is concentrates on games that are being released in the near future, but I still feel they need to hype what is next in store as well. One thing that made me happy is that they are still pushing the 3DS, and that makes me happy that the new 3DS I just bought won't go to waste, they are focusing on more multiplayer games on the 3DS as well which is cool. I loved 4 swords and looking forward to more multiplayer Zelda. Game wise for the WiiU I am happy because I just got splatoon, there's more reasons then ever to enjoy smash, can't wait for tourneys. I like seeing the collab with platinum for star fox and absolutely adore Mario Maker. But I do def think that Nintendo would have benefited from a HUGE announcement ala Zelda WiiU or whatever Retro is working on. They really needed to talk about Zelda more!

Am I the only one who played the crap out of Diddy Kong Racing but doesn't want another one?

@rjejr If you see B2 in action, it looks nothing like a PS3/Xbox game. Its gorgeous!

@sinalefa He is actually wearing a sonic costume haha

Just to clear up the verb-age here. When they say banned, they mean kicked... You are kicked from the game, and if you do it enough you will be punished with a time limit before you can play online again. You are not banned.

I think it would be really cool to have a special where Mario comes out with F.L.U.D.D and cleans up enemy ink lol or a Frantic Mode where, every now and then Mario will appear and clean up any ink he sees regardless of color... lol Until someone takes him out lol

I spy Krystal from StarFox Adventures! lol

Did anyone else notice that those birds have testicles hanging from their mouths?

Out of This World!!!

I thought this game was called Out of This World

Who says WiiU is last gen... this game looks leaps above Sony Allstars! Crispy! DETAIL!!!

(CAPTION) Martin and Mr. Aonuma demonstrating "Quality of LIfe"

Um, also this looks like a complete copy of Boxxle for the gameboy!

What is true power? I think we have our answer. I for one don't want an expensive power bill.

Well my Mii is brown, so if I race with my Mii, Ill be of some color

Strip Pole Mario lol

In Nintendo we trust... well we should. Obviously, Nintendo changed the battle concept because it was lacking before. Boohoo, no areas? who cares, this is a racing game, the Battle Mode should be secondary in the first place. NO one starts up Mario Kart saying oh man I can't wait to battle in the arenas! and if you do, you don't appreciate Mario Kart.

@gatorboi352
The Blue Ocean strategy is for a company to ignore all competitors and go against the norm into an open blue ocean, Nintendo wanted to compete with themselves and not the other 2 hardware giants. Had nothing to do with the wii sports/fit games. Not directly

@ThomasBW84

Just to let you know in case you didn't, nintendo announced a price reduction on the top selling 3DS games including Mario Kart 7 for 29.99.

Samurai PIZZA CATS!!

That would be really cool if Nintendo had a special DLC that included Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph and a special candy land course.

Ya the line up may be small... but overall, I feel that the lineup is nice compared to the other systems.

@AVahne

I dont quite think so there buddy... I mean, it all depends on what your using to develop with. There's Unity support for the WiiU.. so designing a game that would essentially work with all versions of Unity on all systems would be a lot easier then you think to port.

I just don't understand how someone who hasn't been successful with their endeavours in the past 10 years can talk about another companies misfortune. The Wii-U is a fantastic system that just needs more developers to utilize it. Think creatively. I have a couple ideas for games that would be amazing, and use the gamepad in new different ways.

@9th_Sage I saw Frozen with my Gf when it came out, and I was not impressed. Coming from a heavy Disney Background, it was a sloppy mess to me.. and that snowman wasn't even in the movie hardly at all... It seemed like he was just tossed in. wreck it ralph was such a better movie.

I think I love the feeling of "I told you so" better then most feelings! haha

@shuis Nintendo isn't giving free dev kits, they are giving free to try dev kits... You have 6 months to see if you like it, then you have to return it or buy it... the cheapest dev kit is $1500 and the other is $3000.

I don't feel that Miyamoto is losing his touch rather then building it and expanding on it. You can tell his direction has changed and he wants to explore your imagination and bring the kid back out from you. Like one of my other favorite creators ever, Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, Miyamoto has only begun

EA is full of it, especially this guy. Who is he again? What has he done for the gaming industry other then try to ruin it with monetizing schemes?

This game probably deserves a 9, however the Wii U build is flawed and is an after thought for Ubi, we got the patch last, the patch didn't fix any of the game breaking issues. I can't even play online, without my console freezing mid game. It has so many bugs its not even funny. So it

Mobile phones and tablets will not be relevant until they have better input control.

@goldenlander
Well to be fair, most people that played the original feel that re-buying Wind Waker wasn't gonna happen based just on the updated HD graphics... it's because of the gamplay tweeks like the Hero Mode, faster sailing and easier collecting quest... It's because of the gameplay changes, not the HD graphics, so i feel that you are not quite correct.

The Wii U feels like the great depression. There really isn't a better opportunity for a developer to grow and become massive, if they play their cards right.

@kegluneq
That was team Ninja... totally different company... -___-

@GazPlant
Are you saying that because of the gamepad, Nintendo can't make solid games? To me the gamepad adds a more interactive interface to communicate through games. How is this a bad thing in anyway? Just because you personally haven't found a means for it to be beneficial, doesn't mean it isn't. And it's not like it's forced on you either. I understand that you're waiting for a game that truly utilizes the gamepad and I am too. But I am also glad that I can draw some nice artwork that can be shared on Miiverse and that is something you can't do on any other system.

I sometimes hate reading these because I want to comment on their conversation.
To Gaz:
You obviously don't turn on your WiiU and use it, because you would then understand that the WiiU is built around the tablet. From hand written post, drawings, touch web scrolling. I find operating the WiiU OS a blast and would hate to have to go back to using a regular controller. It just seems so fluid and natural to navigate and communicate with the tablet more so then with a standard controller. Not to mention playing games with it. I have a samsung 23inch wide LED 2ms monitor that I use as my tv on a small table and the tablet sits right in front of it perfectly for my viewing angle. The experience to me is like no other... Justifying the gamepad on more then just a Game Level.

Honestly, I said it before and i'll say it again. Do you call and complain to Apple or Sony or Samsung or any other electronic company about price drops? That's just the business, technology goes out of date every 6 months or sooner in some cases. Only Nintendo had been so kind to it's customers to sometimes do something gracious about it. But you can't sit here and demand for free stuff because you decided to pay full price for a product at or around launch... come on!

@Obito_Tennyson
Well then you should have just waited... lol, and be mad at yourself and not Nintendo.

One of my all time favorite games! I absolutely loved this game and got pretty much all the way to the end, but for some reason I didn't beat it because of some crazy collecting quest you had to complete to beat it and I never did.

I have the rubber cover over my gamepad already and it would block out the design anyways... I like the rubber cover to protect the pad and also it give it a nice weight, makes it feel like its worth an extra 100 bucks.

@Chriiis like I said there is Wii party U, which is basically the same thing

If ubi can update and fix all the problems on the Wii U Splinter Cell I will be happy and support their 3rd party efforts even more... I just hope they make a Wii U versions of all their next gen games.

@SirMario
Dude just play Wii Party U, its the same thing

Why would Nintendo create Smash Bros in the first place if it wanted to protect it's brand? Showing Smash bros isn't to promote the Wii U.. its to promote smash bros in which will get people excited for the new one and can lead to more Wii U sales. This guy is a joke. Smash Bros to me at Evo was the highlight of the tourney. It was the most exciting game on the floor to me. And this is a fantastic thing, because it reminds people of how brilliant nintendo and Hal Labs is. How is this a bad thing or could be a bad thing in their commercial, promoting eyes... crazy.

@CliffordB yall need to check out that Spinter Cell for Wii U, especially if it has Spies vs Mercs

If this game has the Mec's vs Spies, I am def going to pick this up. MvS was one of the funnest multiplayer games I have ever played. I have been waiting for a decent online game to play on my wii. If i had any grip with nintendo at the moment is that I would like to play more online games with my friends that don't happen to live near me. I wish I could play some nintendo land with some of my friends online.

@Slapshot
Nintendo is the most successful gaming business in the world. This is a fact. Yes they did lose money in 2012, but overall, Nintendo is doing fairly well.

@Zombie_Barioth

I believe it was called the 3ds... that's what i have been playing while waiting for my Wii u nintendo games. Last time I remember making games was an art form... you can not put a time on art, because it is timeless... therefore you work until it is done, no consultant or "professional HD specialist" could prepare nintendo for this... and you sir act like you are the president and know such things. Nintendo is not stupid, you don't think they consulted other people on this subject? you think they blindly went into battle with no intel? man you are quite naive to think that. If it takes longer, then it takes longer...

@Peach64
First of all, you have to realize that Nintendo always takes a long time to develop all their games. I am pretty sure that they did realize that it would take longer and require more resources to develop HD games. But then you have to realize that Nintendo is going to take its time... so what is the problem again? oh you all want unfinished, unpolished games? oh, because there isn't around 6 more years left in the Wii u life... you can't wait?

xbox360/ps3 is barely getting the games that utilize the system to the max... like 8 years later... Everyone acts like the gems won't come. But they will, they always do. Every nintendo system has at least one game that makes you say, wow, I am glad I own this system. And believe me, it will come to the Wii U. You just have to be patient. that's it!!! it's not rocket science folks, no one is going to die...
