What's the point really though in creating levels in this? You can make levels... to play yourself. Boy, that's exciting. <_<

@WireWare I don't, because it apparently impedes your ability to effectively do your job.

The game that actually did come out for Wii U looked like a mobile game to me. So many overhyped, overpriced indie games on Wii U that look like something you'd buy from the app store for $0.99.

We could have gotten a 2D platformer Metroid with awesome, modernized 3D graphics, but noooooooo...

Glad it isn't bad, but I'm not that into Star Fox so I just can't spend almost $70 on this.

Also, I really don't feel like it was as integral and amazing for Splatoon as people let on. They could very easily not have it for the sequel and it would be fine. All it did was basically tell you if you were winning or losing at any given time. That could be displayed to the player in other ways.

I can say this much: it is absolutely horrible for all the Mario games besides "Maker." I can't tell you how many times I've died in 3D World and New U from somehow accidentally hitting one of the shoulder buttons and ground-pounding into a pit.

Wish New Super Mario Bros U were in on the Nintendo Selects deal in the US. My dog literally chewed my disc up and I refuse to pay $60.00 for it again.

Shovel Knight is really cool and probably one of these best indie games I've ever played, but I'm ready for Yaht Club to begin focusing on the next project.

I may get A Link to the Past on 3DS. Still pretty crappy that I have to pay FULL PRICE for it AGAIN being that I've purchased it already on Wii and Wii U.

@FRANKLIN_BADGE I think a lot of people are voting for Amiibo Festival ironically just to be "cool." There's no way it's anyone's favorite Animal Crossing game, even if you did like it. Well, unless maybe it's the only one you've ever played. But still.

@davidevoid I don't even really consider the NES games a selling feature of the original because I never really played them. It was cool to collect them and put them in your house, but the best ones were only available via eReader and I never got into that. For me, New Leaf is the best game all around, but there's an endearing "weirdness" to the original that they've never duplicated. The villager dialog was more blunt and random, the music had more of an alternative feeling to it, the art style was a little more jagged and odd. I wish they had kept the series weird instead of going for a more cutesy feel, but cute sells more I guess.

New Leaf is the best because it takes a lot of cues from the Game Cube version, in my opinion. Game Cube would be the best, but the inventory and game play is extremely clunky when compared to the newer versions.

@RoomB31 I don't have any for Star Fox tbh. Never could get into that franchise. I'm glad those who like it are getting a new game though.

"Biggest Wii U Games of the Spring - 2016"

*a tumbleweed blows by

I think the rewards are overpriced and I find it ridiculous that they had a chance to tie purchases to an account instead of a console and yet they still did not do that. Also crossbuy on virtual console and eshop games that are on multiple platforms needs to happen immediately. I'd love to have SNES games on my 3DS, but I'm not paying almost 9 dollars a pop for games I've already purchased on two other consoles (Wii and Wii U) that I can play right now.

The gold coin prices on some of the rewards are kind of steep. 70 gold coins for Super Punch Out? Yeah, I'll pass on that and hoard them instead.

And yet Zelda Wii U is basically just a folktale at this point.

My personal stance: the Wii remote was great for its time, but by the time Wii U arrived, I had grown tired of it. As for the gamepad, I never really liked it. I find it large and clunky and it makes my hands ache to play it for extended periods of time. I feel that the off-tv play and having a map in my hands for most games are the only useful features of it.

@abe_hikura True, but what if your real life friends are not interested in downloading the app? Most of my friends are married and have children. I can't see them being very interested in Miitomo; therefore the experience will be really small and shallow for me.

If this thing really is the NX controller, it's been fun knowing you, Nintendo...

Until Nintendo gets an account system that allows you to redownload your purchases in the event that your console is gone, I think it's a piss poor idea to go all digital with retail purchases at almost $70 a pop per game. I admit I have done this with a few games out of convenience, but if my hard drive corrupts or my Wii U breaks down or is lost in a fire or whatever, I'm screwed out of a ton of money.

Seems cool, but I doubt many (if any) of my real life friends will download it, so it seems like it may end up being a dud. I wish there were emphasis on making friends online with it. As usual with Nintendo's online social efforts, one step forward, three back.

@XCWarrior I actually found Mutant Mudds overrated and boring after a few levels. It was just the same thing over and over for me. The game play and enemies didn't have much variety.

I pay sometimes if I get most of a set, but only have a couple left. That's how they get you!

I just feel like these are wasted resources on shallow games that could be directed toward bigger, more fleshed out indie experiences on the console, but that's just me.

I don't understand why we need mobile-type games like this on the Wii U. This is something you play on your break at work on your phone; it's not a sit-down-in-front-of-the-TV kind of game.

If they don't mention a single RPG, I'll be excited. As someone who isn't into that genre at all, these past few months have been really dry for me.

City Folk should be like $4.99 now that there are no online features at all.

How are they going to sell so much Wii U software when they never put out any? There is literally nothing on the horizon. (Except Zelda U, which at this point is more of a folk tale than an actual thing to me.) Well, I guess that Pokken Tournament thing will sell decently with Pokemon fans, but I ain't buying it.

I'm buying it, because lord knows I need a new reason to turn my Wii U on lately, but I'm not getting excited at all about the "hype" surrounding it. I guess for first timers this is a big deal, but for me it's basically just paying a premium, full price to play a 10 year old game again.

I'm pretty sure I rented Oddworld back in the day and it was one of those games where the characters and premise were interesting and memorable, but the game itself was a clunker to control and I didn't make it very far. Not sure if I'd be interested in a remake of it or not.

Didn't buy a single character. I know most Smash fans were happy with the DLC roster, but I was disappointed at so many RPG characters — particularly from Fire Emblem, a series I have never been interested in — when Nintendo has such a vast roster of more universally-known and beloved characters at their disposal that they could have brought to the game.

Shortage of Wii U's in Japan? Well, every store I go to in the US is embarrassingly fully stocked so maybe we should just send all the systems that Americans don't want over there?

@Kirk Agreed. Hate it. It's all over the place.

I just don't understand all the complaints about this. I think it looks pretty good actually and I don't mind paying full price for a full game, even if it is from the last generation. I guess most of you just can't be pleased.

I'm kind of liking this new president so far. He seems to be trimming the fat on the wacky, go-nowhere ideas that Nintendo used to waste money on all the time.

@bezerker99 That's how I feel. During that last direct, after Twilight Princess, I was like "Ok, when are they going to talk about another game that I'll buy?" It was just Pokemon title, after RPG, after Pokemon, after RPG.

Pfft. With how Sakarai whines and goes on like he's about to die with every game he takes on, I seriously doubt Smash Bros will come within the first three years of the console's lifespan.

First week I've gotten to check something besides "Nothing for me" in literal months. Zero Mission ahoy! That's the one game I wanted when they announced GBA support for Wii U and it's finally here!

I voted "not sure" to pretty much all of it. I hate to be "that guy" but Nintendo has pretty steadily dropped nearly every ball in their court since the Wii U's launch so it's hard to be blindly optimistic anymore.

I know a lot of you will be saying "Oh, now they'll just find a new game to complain about" but not this black duck. Once I have Zero Mission, I will be completely and utterly content.

I'm one of about 3 people in the world apparently that isn't into this game at all. Too much Squaresoft and not enough Mario for my taste.

Don't want any of it. Good thing I'm so addicted to Animal Crossing that it doesn't matter if new games come to the 3DS or not.

At least it's a decent, well-loved and well-known virtual console game for once, but still nothing for me.

It'll hit North America in 2027.

I get really tired of being called "entitled" simply because I want quality games to come out for consoles that I spent hundreds of dollars on.

For the two people in Alabama that don't have this, great.

Coming to North America in 2019.

@faint I will stop nothing. You guys get all the big name retro games that I want while we get a slow trickle of obscure sequels and pure junk.

Also, Zero Mission is better than Fusion in my eyes and is my favorite 2D Metroid game, which is something I hear from a lot of fans.
