All I've ever seen of this "Binding of Issac" game is that one screen shot of the little derpy thing crying, surrounded by monsters. What's this game about? Hope the review explains things a little better.

Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission.

Also if 30 posts/comments a day isn't enough for you, you should probably go outside and breathe in some fresh air for a while because you're spending WAYYYY too much time on Miiverse.

I am totally okay with this redesign. It will take a lot of the chatter away from these 9-10 year olds who just post off-topic junk or about trying to find boyfriends and girlfriends.

It would have moved a few systems if it had launched with the console, for sure, as would have Splatoon, but Nintendo didn't play their cards right with the Wii U at all so we're getting all the good games now after they've already announced a successor for next year.

I hate when they start using the word "understand" to defend when something is viewed negatively. I'm not a moron.

Still on the fence. The negatives expressed about this game are pretty big negatives, in my opinion. If there are no constraints or consequences for failure, this could become boring very quickly. Price is also an issue for me: I don't see myself spending $39.99 on this game so I'm interested to see how Nintendo prices it. It honestly sounds and looks kind of like a $15-20 eShop title to me.

Looks like NoA died with Mr. Iwata.

I wish there were a Super Mario Bros 2 option in Super Mario Maker. This game gets very little love and I consider it just as much a "real" Mario game as any other.

@scottp999 You should take a nap; you sound tired. Or maybe exhausted from playing Splatoon?

I don't think the battles need to be longer either. They're pretty much the perfect length for the way the game is set up now; however, if they ever added local multiplayer in a future edition, I'd like to be able to customize how long I play with friends, which mode we play in, and which stage we play on.

@JudgeMethos I do! It's actually my favorite of the series. And I've never had the opportunity to play it all brightly-lit and crisp on a television set; however, the rest of the world has for months now. You'd think with how angry fans were about Federation Force that Nintendo would be like "Here's Zero Mission! We're sorry!" but it's obvious that they could give two flying figs about Metroid in general.

Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission.

Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission. Zero Mission Zero Mission. Zero Mission.

Blah, blah, blah, don't care. Make it single player or buzz off.

I don't care about online co-op soccer; I care about Metroid. Do not want and no amount of sugarcoating and chiding is going to make me buy this. Also, I am not being "entitled", "bratty", "spoiled", or whatever in my decision not to buy it either. I am a huge fan of the Metroid series and this is NOT a game for me.

Good god, don't let it be another freakin' Retro DKC game. The first one was great, the second one was not up to par imo.

I seriously think that if Wii U had launched with Splatoon, Smash Bros, and Mario Kart 8, Nintendo's current home console fortunes might be very different right now. All three games are the crowning jewels on the platform, but Splatoon might take the win. It's been an absolute joy to play and be a part of. Some people complain about the "drip fed" modes and weapons, but for me it keeps me excited and makes me feel like these releases are more like "events."

Very unusual for Miyamoto to do anything "complex" these days. He usually seems terrified of confusing gamers.

This is not true though since many games shown (including the much maligned "Metroid" game) are not coming till 2016.

This would have been a REALLY good time to release Metroid Zero Mission, Nintendo...

Lots of "not for me" from this black duck. I want Wooly World and Mario Maker for sure. Happy Home Designer is a maybe. Zelda U being in this list is a cop out since it isn't an E3 2015 game.

Suuuuuuure it is. *wink

This looks like a cheap shovelware game. Those graphics are sub-DS quality. Ugh. Metroid is probably dead.

@Sinister It creates excitement for the game and hasn't costed a single thing yet, so why complain about it?

I agree with the reviewer: this is a solid game and I like it a lot, but I'm a little disappointed with the gamepad implementation. The menus are screaming for touch support, but all you can do is move the map around, which is pretty pointless. Also the off-TV function makes the picture so muddy that you can barely see or read anything.

Not really interested. If you've played one modern Dr. Mario, you've played them all imo.

I was all excited for a second thinking this was a new Wind Waker sequel, but I'll pass on another Hyrule Warriors. The Wii U game got very stressful very quickly for me. Too much "run here and do this... and this too... and this at the same time!" I found myself cursing at the TV and not having fun with it a lot.

@Marshi My internet connection is a shared free hotspot for my apartment complex and is absolutely terrible. It won't let me online in any other game, but if I try about 5-10 times, I can get into a match in Splatoon with no problems at all and can continuously rematch until I'm ready to quit. Never lags and has only disconnected once. It must be a problem on your end.

Having played it myself now, I personally don't see any reason to have voice chat and if it was there, mine would always be set to OFF. The premise and map are both so simple that you don't really need to communicate once you have the hang of things, imo.

(insert my weekly "Where the F___ is Zero Mission! Bleh! You hate Metroid, NoA!" rant here) Now with that out of the way, Splatooooooon! I'm so excited, even though I won't be able to online really at home.

I think it's funny how the game is called "Stretchmo" since I feel like Nintendo has stretched this concept for all it's worth.

I'd like to get Affordable Space Adventures if it were more, you know, affordable. Hoping for a sale on that game soon.

I guess it's cool for those who skipped the DS era to get the opportunity to play the original NSMB, but I still have my game card so nothing for me again.

@XCWarrior Don't chide @wisdomsprince for not knowing what Nintendo World Championship is. I didn't know either and I've been playing Nintendo games since the 1980's.

No need for any of these DS games, especially on my Wii U.

I just have this sinking feeling that if the next console isn't a rip roaring success, Nintendo will be exclusively on phones and I will not like that.

@Spoony_Tech I agree! I'm kind of ill now. I wanted that Zelda 3DS pouch, but got some Wii VC games instead because I was 100 coins short. That's lame of them!

This is the make-or-break E3 for Wii U. After the disappointment of Zelda being delayed, they're going to need more than Star Fox and a bunch of niche RPG games to keep people interested in it.

I liked what I played, but I'm still waiting for the reviews before I make a definitive decision due to all the DLC and the Amiibo paywall.

I just don't get these clone games like this. Why make the character look exactly like Nabbit? Nobody would probably even put two and two together that this is essentially a rip off of the Nabbit sequences in NSMBU if he didn't look just like Nabbit. Why not give the character a different look so as to avoid the inevitable cease and desist letter?

Suuuuuure...

Yup, just porting Paper Mario over from my Wii menu. Another blah week. Maybe now that they've put out all the N64 games they promised we can get Zero Mission next week? (And yes, I will complain about this every Thursday until it's finally released here.)

I'm mildly excited for it. As someone without a reliable internet connection for gaming though, I'm waiting for reviews to see if the single player content is worth the price for admission. Haven't been terribly impressed with the local 1-on-1 mode yet either, so this will essentially be a single player only experience for me if I pick it up.

Been playing it pretty consistently since it came out. Deserved at least an 8. I can't even wrap my head around why the NL reviewer gave it a 6.

Even when Nintendo decides certain games are a good fit for Wii U, they hum-haw around with regional releases that are months and months apart. Virtual Console is a hot, honey boo-boo mess on Wii U in North America and they refuse to address the problem except by occasionally saying "LOOK! WE'RE DOING GAMES FROM (insert classic system name here) NOW!", then releasing one game from the announced system each week for a month after, then nothing else for months. Where are the Wii games they made such a big deal out of at the first of the year? Why are so many games (Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Metroid Zero Mission, Final Fantasy games, etc) available in other regions, but not in NA? They never follow through with anything beyond a one-month window following an announcement. I foresee us not getting another N64 or DS game until around fall/Christmas time after they release their 4 piddly little games they promised in the Direct.

@rdrunner1178 Zero Mission is barely anything like the original Metroid though, but other than that, I agree with your sentiment.

Bad week if you're not a Mario Kart fan (and I'm not). Metroid Zero Mission, Nintendo. GIVE. US. THE. OPTION. OF. BUYING. METROID. ZERO. MISSION.

Nope. It will not have much of an effect on selling new hardware whatsoever. People who own a Wii U already will pick it up, no doubt, but if Smash Bros and Mario Kart didn't turn it into a rip roaring success, a new IP that doesn't have the built-in nostalgic fanbase definitely won't.

If not much new is shown at E3, then I agree. And that sucks because for a second there, it really seemed like the Wii U was picking up.

I've been excited about this one, but I think I'll wait for the inevitable price drop/sale price.
