That would be great if it was actually happening ... I've got nothing to play on my Wii U till next year. Getting drip fed childish nonsense does not a successful console make! Nothing on its way is for me. D.Kong, Pikmin, unnecessary Zelda remake, Wonder(less)101(quirky Japanese nonsense) .... Nothing for me until M Kart. ..... This is not why I bought a Wii U! 3rd party support was promised and was a prerequisite for me! Thank god I've got a PS3 ... What Wii U needs is games from the same stable as Last of Us, God of War, dead space...... Gripping, gritty, adult adventures! All Nintendo have committed to is cartoony, kids games! Best thing on Wii U is Super Metroid!! Forward planning was obviously not high on the priority list!!!
Never understood this remake. . . a pointless exercise! Shoulda just sold the original on eshop n remade a different game. They could've made a directors cut with the lost dungeons etc, but ... No ... we get the exact same experience as the original thats still in my library. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Wouldn't pay more than £8 for this laziest of remakes!
I really enjoyed it but it wasn't the system seller Wii U needed. With a bit more polish and quality control this coulda been a first person Last of Us. Don't know what Ubisoft expect. . . release a slightly-above-average game that gets average reviews - your not gonna shift the numbers you want to make money. If they made a classic game, they would've sold it by the bucket load! There is no excuse for a seasoned company like Ubi to release average games.
@RetrogamerFan Pilotwings Resort received an 8/10 score here. The SNES Pilotwings, although released almost 20 years prior, is far more substantial/rewarding than the dull 3ds game ... And the later, expert levels are cracking!
@Korgoth Were not talking about Prime. The 1st Metroid (nes) is coming out on Wii U. It was remade on GBA and called Zero Mission. . . new levels, enemies and obviously better graphics. My question is why do Nintendo not skip giving us the nes game (which hasn't aged well) and give us Zero Mission instead!
What a dreadful admission to make. So, the extra cost I paid as a day one adopter was so I didn't have to pause the game to access a map/inventory (Zombiu was good BUT Last of Us used exactly the same innovation - real time inventory - WITHOUT a 2nd screen)... WTF happened to the exciting "promise" of asymmetric gameplay??!! Ninty seem to be admitting that maybe THEY don't even know how to innovate with THEIR gamepad! So disappointing!
Really unimpressed with the game announcements! A carbon copy Zelda remake-yawn, wonderful 101-quirky Japanese nonsense, donkey kong-looks like the same game as Wii version. Il Only get Mario 3D because I know my niece will like it. Only one I'm excited by is Mario Kart. They better have more up their sleeve or else my U will be on eBay pretty soon.
Wow!!! As an early adopter i sympathised b4 ... but What do Ninty expect!!! When u release a console with no excellent games ..... For a YEAR!!! ... Your gonna struggle. I'm still struggling to see where any good games are coming from. Mario Kart only game I'm interested in from the present batch ..... And that's another year away! Squid situation .... To have trusted/invested in Nintendo and tolerate this poopiedoodoocacapoo!!!
.... Extra dungeons would have been the only saving grace with regards to this pointless "remake" (its not a remake ... Its exactly the same experience with a spit polish!!! )of a perfectly fine looking GC game! Must've been too tricky to give the fans some extra, unseen content! Ninty taking the disappointing easy road again!
Waste of time and money. Would hardly call it a remake! Resident Evil 1 on GameCube ..... now THAT WAS a remake. Total redesign, graphical overhaul, infinitely improved voice acting, new levels and enemies - to the point where its unrecognisable to the original (ie, a completly different, improved experience) and all the better for it. Now THAT is how to REMAKE a game! This WW remake plays identical to the original. Throwing in some boring gamepad features does not a remake make and the original still looks great anyway. A missed opportunity!
Major disappointment!! This looks like it plays exactly the same as DKCR, which has just been remade on 3DS (??!!? WHY!!?.)! fair enough if your gonna mix it up but this looks so similar to the Wii game. So this is Retro's big surprise!!! Total anti-climax! What Wii U needs is a system seller, and fast!! DK ain't it! Neither are Pikmin, W101 (weird, quirky, japanese nonsense), Smash Brothers (which has never really held my attention)! Mario Kart is nice but thats almost a year away! There better be more announcements next few days. Something to vindicate and give hope to the early adopters.
Watching this trailer in HD on Nexus 7 and I gotta say .... I can't see much if any improvement!! I wouldnt even call it a remake. This looks exactly the same as the original. A remake is what Resident Evil 1 on Gamecube was .... A different game with new completely redone visuals, new levels and new enemies!! Not excited bout this at all. Still have GC and original game .... This seems like a cheap, lazy cash in - instead of remaking a game that required a spit polish! Think of a Super Metroid remake with intense atmosphere, a living, lush organic Crateria, 1st person x-ray scan/boss fights! Now That would be a remake!! This is just a carbon copy of a game that's not really that old anyway!
Stinkin'!!! The secret game Retro has been working on .......The BIG unveiling reveals .... Um..... Donkey Kong!!! Had my fill of Donkey Kong with an old Wii game (really!!??) just released on 3ds!! Terrible anti-climax!! Wii U better have something better than this up its sleeve!!!
Nothing has changed for me at all. Still got a Wii U that I won't be touching for almost a year. Really poor planning from Nintendo. Mario Kart only one I'm interested in. Smash Bros has never been a deep or interesting game for me. Wonderful 101 = not so wonderful Japanese nonsense!! Donkey Kong .... Yawn!!! These dullish games Combined with late release dates and almost zero third party interest .... Its all looking a tad grim from my perspective!!
Please please please. The 1st one had it all!!! ... Combat, politics, government conspiracy, air hockey, hovercraft races, treasured inter-species friendships, photography side quests and vehicle upgrade by the boys at Mamago!!! A stunning adventure!
Too little to late!!! Couldn't believe my new Mario game wasn't compatible with Pro Controller. . . How hard could it have been to release a day 2 patch to allow support!!! Even Trine 2 got a Pro Controller patch very early on! Unacceptable!!!
The 2nd hand games issue would be a real deal breaker (if its true)! Everything you buy should be able to be sold on 2nd hand... That's just the way the world works. . . especially with the carbon footprint being such an issue!! If I bought a xbox one game and finished it, I would have 2 options ... Either keep it in the attic forever - or bin it!! That's unacceptable! Aside from the waste of plastic it removes my right as a consumer to sell something I have purchased and now own. . . and if MS try to introduced high cost licencing for pre used games it should be the present licence owner (consumer who bought the game originally) who gets the money. They're the one who is selling "their" game AND "their" licence!! There must be consumer rights campaigners ready to tackle this greedy, opportunistic company!! I can really see MSoft overtaking EA in the worst company in America category!
They should really consider rewarding the day 1 consumers some freebies like the 3DS Ambassadors thing. I've not seen anything I want to play on Wii U for months ... Now the loyal fans who bought it early are getting stiffed again.10 GameCube games would just about suffice!!!
Loved altered beast ... At the time when it came bundled with my MD! Realise now its absolute pants. Slow as sludge with a 2 frame walk/punch and the oddest kick move ever committed to pixel!!!
No reason to trudge through this yin again!! Game was brilliant . . . on the zenobia! Really felt like survival horror again - UNTIL you start playing the crappy resi 6 style action levels in the offices and the ice station with those 2 dorks! Half of a good game that could been great!!
Can't pretend I'm not disappointed! Even the Wii got a little more effort from EA! Would've defo picked this up. Another one in the eye for my new console! Konami could clean up with PES ..... Hopefully.
Wow!!! That was pointless!! Nothing new. . . just release dates that could've been announced on any website!!! None of the games (which weve seen footage of before anyway) interest me at all! Yawn!!! Tell me ninty have more up their sleeve than this!!!
Loved parts of the 3ds game .... Zenobia was brill. Action bits in Office and ice station with those 2 dorks were pants! Just played hd demo. . . not impressed. Graphics aren't impressive - in fact, Resi 5 looks better. No decent use of gamepad is another disappointment . . . not even for scanning.!! This remake gave them chance to fix the enemy's nonexistent reaction to bullets too ...... Nada!!! Won't be buying this!!

Ah, the BIG ONE!!! Super Metroid is in my top 5 games of all time (might even be my no. 1!!!) The intro, the upgrades, Ridley, that pesky infuriating quadruple wall jump!! Absolute classic!! Got it on SNES, Wii and my Nexus 7. Might have to just get it on Wii U for the hell of it!!! Resi Rev remake defo not on the agenda. ONM gave it a terribly tepid review. Finished it on 3ds - loved the Zenobia survival horror/hated the sell-out action parts in the offices and bits with those 2 dorks! I'll sample the demo but not holding out much hope!
Hope there's some good news soon. Wii U really underused. Not turned on at all by Pikmin, Resi Rev, Wonderful 101 or Windwaker remake. Where are the BIG, SERIOUS games. ... And I don't just mean Zelda/Mario! We need games like Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls ... You know, current gen system shifters. If only we had that much needed interest and support.
Meh. Nes games should not be over £0.50. (Current, "brand new" android apps set u back a reasonable £0.69!) SNES ... Maybe £2 is bout right. They should not be charging extra for the "effort" to transfer it to gamepad.!!! My Nexus 7 (or my modded Wii/Wii U) can emulate SNES/genesis/GBA perfectly while using Wii classic controller .... WITHOUT having to be 5m away! There's no competition! I'm not one to champion piracy but Nintendo seriously need to rethink the pricing strategy. Paying £5 for a 20 yr old game simply isn't value in the current economical climate!
Could only be a TEN!!! TIMELESS!!! Mario World still plays like a dream... Unlike sonic which hasn't aged well and was over rated back in the day anyway.
Weird no Wii U mentioned. Another kick in the nuts for us ninty fans. 1st party isn't gonna be enough to sustain the U! We need the support ..... NOW!!!
Really don't understand the confusion here. . . maybe old grannies who loved Wii sports might get their Wiis in a muddle but the rest of us should've been able to manage. Print "Wii U - New console from Nintendo" on a magazine cover .... And That's it!!! Where's the confusion??? ...... Its called "Wii U" and its a "new console" from "Nintendo"!!!
I do feel for good games dev's who put in a real effort to make a quality product. What I can't stand is greedy companies that release half baked, broken and buggy games and slap a £40 price tag on it in a cynical attempt to dupe kids and parents. They know their games are rotten when released and still charge top dollar! .... To me, that's an even bigger crime than piracy!! If its broken .... Stop wasting everyones time and money and Don't release it !!!
Please .... No more sonic. Did like Sonic 1+2 when I was 12 but they haven't aged well and I think, looking back now, they were pretty much overrated. I could still play Mario World which is timeless but Sonic hasn't aged quite so gracefully!! bores me after playing it for 5 mins!!!
My nexus 7 plays any old console game I want perfectly. . . in any part of my house (my Wii u can't even connect to control pad if its 5 metres away in the next room with doors open!!!) GameCube titles would be only reason I would use VC.
Probably wise although I'm disappointed. Maybe they don't have any big reveals. Anything they show would pale in comparison to the hype surrounding new Microsoft and Sony consoles anyway. Trying (and failing) to compete with that could be embarrassing anyway.
Please .... No!!! No more multiplayer. . . . my 2 most anticipated games this year, GoW Ascension and Dead Space 3 have been such a disappointment and ruined due to, u guessed it, tacked on multiplayer. Why spend money and resources to include multiplayer if the campaign isn't spot on. Both campaigns pale in comparison to their previous games which is really unacceptable. Personally I would've hated playing the arkham games in multiplayer!!
Super Metroid is way to low. Its easily a top 2 game and really is timeless, as is ALttP. Really is as fresh today as it was years ago. Can't believe it got trumped by F-Zero, 2 Donkey Kings, Star Fox!!??!!
What a yawn fest! If that's the cream of the Mega drive its purdy lame. Still have my mega drive and find it so hard to get excited or even reminisce about it. Sonic was completely overrated and pales in comparison to Mario World. Main prob is, I guess, there was nothing on MD that could grab you the way SNES games did. Major and sometimes emotional experiences from games like Zelda: ALTtP, Super Metroid, Mario Kart, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound for eg couldn't be touched as far as I'm concerned. Still have fond memories from Golden Axe, Revenge of Shinobi and Streets of Rage etc but nothing that makes me warm and gooey the way the SNES did.
