@elstif I agree. My biggest complaint is how can you make joust and super mario bros 3 from NES the same price lol!

The price is good for the added visuals, controls, and online ... it already has more added features than WW-HD that they're wanting to charge $50 for :/ Will get bowling, and look forward to golf's release. I just remember the mini-game challenges in golf being a blast.

The games are fun, but wear off in the first few hours. Missions become repetitive, driving routes become longer for the sake of making the game longer. Let others blow their money on the game and enjoy it if thats what they're into. Most of my friends that play GTA rave about every new game for about a week, then complain cause they get bored of the repetitive missions and the only reason they turn on the game is to shoot rockets at helicopters and such. Yes, it's fun to blow stuff up and cause havoc but I need a game the keeps me entertained throughout after the novelty wears off. GTA never did that for me.

@rjejr You get 10% back from ALL eShop purchases (retail games, VC, Apps, DLC, Indy games, etc). Once you earn 500 points ($50 worth of purchases) you get a $5 redeemable code from a site I'll post below. This can go back towards ANY eShop purchase. The code can be redeemed on your WiiU eShop App by selecting 'Add Funds' > 'Use a prepaid Shop Card something' and enter the16 digit code each $5 you earn.

I think the most enjoyable thing about this being on WiiU is watching all the first time players on Miiverse and seeing their frustration at the difficulty when they have no clue what we went through back then when we didn't have the luxury of "save states" lol. DL'ing right now.

No fix to use the headset to voice chat while playing on the TV? We're still expected to goto GamePad only mode to chat through our headset?

@alrighthearthis Same Here! I knew the Shadow of Eternals was gonna fail; but Mighty No.9 amd Shantae I have pledged for as well. Though sadly I'm cheap, I'm just pledging for the pre-orders.

I used the 3D effects for like the first 2 days of owning my 3DS at launch. upgraded to a 3DS XL, and seen this and I was ecstatic with joy. Until I noticed two things, it doesn't flip open, and doesn't come in black. I dont wanna spend another $200 for a black 3ds xl and transfer my data again, I was hoping this would have been a cheaper alternative since i could careless for the 3D effect. but alas, as we all know they will release new versions of this after the complaints roll in.

Why an Other:M stage Needs more Bryyo from corruption!

Great Review, I'm almost tempted. Like many others, this would have been a perfect buy during the spring drought. I'm not one of those upset over the delay and understand the decision ,... the part that really furiates me though is that a company wouldn't dare delay a PS3/360 game to make it ready for wiiU at the same time; we just get a botched port later down the road at full price. Sadly with new games already announced coming soon, the only platformer for WiiU next on my 'to buy list' is DKC Tropical Freeze.

got this preo-ordered off Amazon with the $20 off deal they're currenlty running, ($50, +$10 amazon credit with pre-order). Not interested in the MP, personally. And FireFly addition looks fantastic.

@koopakid That is the dream! Prime Trilogy I always make time for, usually every 2-3 months I have to pop it in and play through at least 1 prime game. I can literally play the trilogy over and over and never get tired of it. WiiU HD release would be most welcomed

I kindaaaa liked the demo for Trine 2 but in no way was gonna pay $20 for it. with that price drop though it seems more inviting.

I'm shocked Miiverse admins didn't take down the Mii Beer one. It looks amazing, but them miiverse admins are silly with their word filtering and how they censor posts.
_{We have words we don't allow either as per our Rules — TBD}

Game has froze on me twice JUST when viewing the Laeaderboards (havent even played the game yet) and had to unplug the WiiU ac adapter just to reset. Haven't had this happen since the launch days on nintendo Land Hope this isn't going to be a normal thing for my system and this game, DT is one of my top 5 fave NES games amd been looking forward to this since day 1 it was announced.

I'll stick to the Colecovision's Smurfs game.

^^^ Plus the games 3rd parties did release were year old ports, with missing features, and they expected us to pay full retail price when they were $20-30 on other consoles. But, of course, they blame nintendo for this. lol

WiiU definitely has potential. all my friends really like the concept of it when I show it off to them. the problem is the GAMES, as has been said a gazillion times on here. My friends love the 2 screen idea, and off TV play, but they have a certain taste in games that WiiU just doesn't offer yet. Bring the games, and they will come.

No surprise here, I've grown accustomed to the taste of piss; which is what all these 3rd party developers are doing to WiiU owners, goingnumbah1 all over us.

Even though I could careless for an "online mode" in this game, it's just a shame we're getting butchered ports of games for the same exact retail price. I'll wait for a $20 price drop on amazon, which would be the game's true value when compared to the missing features.

@EaZy_T It's bad, VERY bad. I love Myst on PC, and thought it'd be amazing on 3DS, but no, worst controls ever imaginable for the game. No touch screen support, you use the slider, and once you release the slider during ANY movement, the arrow cursor resets back to the center position. So trying to click a specific item on the screen is a very grueling task.

LOVED this game. Having to watch my entire gamecube memory card get erased before my eyes and nothing I could do about it is still one of the most shocking & nerve racking moments I ever felt in a videogame to this date, and that was 10 years ago!

Which brings up an interesting point ... how would they pull off some of the amazing sanity effects in VC mode?

@Goginho Same here. I've never played through a single RPG in my life. I toughed it through the first disc of FF7 on PS1 and felt that was enough lol. I really do want to get this and try it, but RPG's have never held any appeal to me, other than their great characters & vast story. The gameplay is what turns me off, having to stand there while I get hit and select menus to attack, defend, heal, or cast spells lol.

As long as the sarlacc pit burps when my ball falls in it I'll be happy I actually like these will be stand alone from the ZP2 file block.

No need to buy this game again, then. I'll take my $10 and go get Megaman 2 & 3 now

I dunno, don't care for this game, really. But don't these publishers think of the fact they're putting these games on consoles FLOODED with games in the same genre which would make the game have more competition on these consoles, while many WiiU gamers are hungry for ANYTHING at this point.

are they also gonna add functionality to post to friends on PSN and XBOX Live accounts too LOL! I'm sure some will like this, but it's completely unnecessary, for me.

I suppose this is Nintendo's strategy to get WiiU owners to advertise WiiU to their friends for them. It actually makes perfect sense.

@Electricmastro That's IF you count Other M ... which I don't lol. I'm happy for the new DKR game for WiiU, and there is hope for us Metroid fans who ONLY want Retro doing Metroid from now on ... DKR releases very soon, which means development for that WiiU Metroid can begin even sooner.

@sinalefa Toki Tori 2 is AMAZING! even at the original full price. If you love brain teasing puzzle platforming challenges ... where a game doesn't hold your hand, then please get it. Toki Tori2 is still my most appreciated game on WiiU. I have 9 retail games, almost all the VC releases, and 3 indie titles. Tokie Tori 2 is the gem of my Wii U collection.

"Other M ... best game in the series!" LOL! Entertaining video. Yeah, this guy was just having fun mocking other trolls and the current gen gamers.

I seriously cannot believe there's a location in my area. Holy crap! Now I have a reason to goto Best Buy other than browse and laugh at their prices.

Can't wait to upgrade for a $1.50 next week

I remember the good ol days in Resident Evil when things like these were unlocked by getting "S" ranks and you earned them, not paid.

At first, when I saw the pic, I thought it was an updated version of Shenmu from Dreamcast.

For me GTA games have been basically become "drive here shoot this guy, drive there shoot that guy, repeat for about 20+ hours, roll credits". and, lol, WWE? They're still on the air? Not in the least bit disappointed in this rumor, even if it actually does become official, which I'm sure we're all expecting.

Looks like the only Star Wars games we'll be playing on wiiU is when the SNES games come to the eShop

@Draken18 I believe the entire 1st paragraph of his post was sarcasm, playing off the words of some of the recently posted articles with negativity towards WiiU and Ninty's strategies.

I don't think they're necessarily getting Super Metroid for free on WiiU eShop VC. Just free for vWii channel. They'll still have to buy it at 30 cents for the promotion or upgrade at a later date to play Super Metroid on their WiiU, not vWii channel. unless I misread something.

It is a shame most newcomers to this installment playing for the 1st time on wiiU will never truly understand the challenge ... save states will take the real challenge away.

@Shiryu I REALLY enjoyed that documentary. Wish it was still on netflix.

It was a great Spidey game and I thoroughly enjoyed it during my 100% completion run. But, yeah, there's absolutely no excuse for the game being released with that screen tearing.

I just don't get how people still get excited for this series. It's Call of Duty, yay. Been there done that, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

Update is finally available. didn't get a notification for it, but when trying to access eShop it popped up to update.

@Funny_Moblin From what I gather from that, he means while other companies are focusing on pushing their new systems (hardware), WiiU can focus on pushing their games

Just tested on my phone through Opera Browser, and it WORKS!!! Singed in and everything. This is pretty exciting, even though it's in Beta form looks clean.

ZombiU felt like the long waited "rebirth" for old school survival horror, in my opinion. Hoping this one can have that same impact. Definitely looking forward to this one and glad it's been officially announced and coming to WiiU

Who the heck was expecting GameCube VC games on day 1 lol. Seeing that all of these are part of the 30 cent promotion or 3DS ambassador program games besides Super Mario World, it's the one to get.

I don't think so, Nintendo had to replace many Wii's do to the Lens Reader for dual layered games (least they replaced mine for me and I know others they did the same for) ... so hopefully they won't follow suit in that. Most Wii games fit on a 4GB disc, but games with so much content, that went over 4GB, required dual layered disc. Though Wii-U games use a much larger disc format now

EDIT:: There are some "do it yourself" youtube videos for replacing your lens reader.

@LDXD Ditto That! Though it sits at #1 of my fave games of all time

Buying digital just isn't at all tempting for me. If they're the same price as retail, I'd much rather buy the physical copy so I can take it to a friend's house or still have the game in the event my console croaked. I don't see why digital copies aren't at least 10-15% cheaper than retail to persuade me, otherwise. That'd be some kind of an incentive. But until there's a decent price difference I'll stick to buying physical copies.

@Funny_Moblin adding to the above response, if it is the only game thats giving you problems, it's most likely because MANY have experienced this. Your lens reader is going out, and it affects dual-layered discs first ( Brawl, Metroid Prime Trilogy, etc; there's only like 9 games total that are dual layered).

No jumping in a MetroidVania style platforming game is going to take some getting used to. But still liking what I see so far.
