I FRIGGIN LOVE this game, and would have enjoyed this addition. Not a big deal, plus it doesn't seem like such a low blow since it affects all console versions and not just WiiU.

The plus side to HD remakes and why they're so popular is because you KNOW what you're getting. Sure, they should concentrate on making 'new games' but with that there's always hesitation with new games and buyers (most people waiting for reviews or word of mouth and such). Zelda HD sold like crazy because everyone knew what they were getting right from the start (well, those who already played it before), a flawless classic game with an HD makeover.
Personally, I'd rather buy a game I know and love to play, than a new game that may or may not keep me entertained. It's why I'm a VC addict lol And, obviously my first choice is a WiiU Metroid Prime Trilogy HD edition.

Just passed it's funding goal. Now at $35,006

Wait a minute. Does Nintendo realize this is actually a GOOD classic game being released on WiiU eShop? Do they allow that anymore?

@SchamMan89 I don't see any feature listing on eShop page for "local co-op" play. Though it does support both gamepad and pro controller, so I'm not sure.

Ok, Capcom, very nice play. $20 for WiiU is a steal. Plus with digital deluxe promotion we get 200 points back I'm sold!

"Hydro Drive" edition woulda been sweet. I loved the original and played it some more before this released; which graphics don't bother me, but going from HD to the pixelated sequel does make you wish they woulda went the HD route.

@JustinH I'm just confused by what the 85,000 & 95,000 goals mean then lol. I've pledged my $35 ( I know it'll be cheaper but I am interested in those extras to learn more about this wrold).
Geez ... I'm getting quiet addicted to WiiU kickstarter backing, lately xD

I'm excited about this game, saw it the other day. But I just can't back $35 for a WiiU version when it might not reach the target goal for WiiU, then I'm stuck with a PC version. the stretch goal lists confuse me with the console list. Is there a WiiU stretch goal or is WiiU available from the initial fund goal? If so then I'll donate $35 to get all the goodies & extras.... I just want to be guaranteed a WiiU version if I pledge.

Never cared for or used the 3D effect. Once the 2DS is redesigned with a clamshell and comes in black I'll be making the shift from my 3DS XL. Length is never an issue in a Zelda game. If you're trying to blast through and speedrun to be the first to post the end credits on Miiverse well that's your fault. My 3 rules when playing a new zelda game: 100% Completion, No Guides/Walkthroughs, No Life while the game is in progress lol.

Mighty Switch Force 2 is only $5.99. Can't argue with that price, HD or not. Not sure if it's just a limited time introductory sale. I was expecting $10-$15. Though, something doesn't seem right since it's file size is only 100MB

Also, its pretty insulting to us that they're trying to sell a primitive NES Tennis game for $5 when we'll have Wii Sports U Tennis next couple of weeks for only $10. the WiiU VS has just gotten atrocious in quality.

no way can you compare this with games like SMB3 or Megaman2 and justify it costing $5. This game, at most, should only be $2 on eShop. And, lol, the pun wars continue in that conclusion.

Was excited when I seen the headline ... not so much after reading the article. No hyper drive(HD) edition?

@TimLatshaw "on sale" is correct, "for sale" would be the other situation. Not sure how some got confused with that lol

Re-buying as well. Maybe the level based puzzle gameplay will be a little more forgiving for "expert gamer" Miiverse players lol.

Good to know this game still exists. Been waiting for a long time for it's release.

@triforcepower73 Bruce Campbell is the man, no doubt. But he only had cameos cause of Sam Raimi directing the original Spidey trilogy (which does not exist in the world i live in lol).

By spring next year this will most likely be made into a system bundle (DL codes of course). Ads are good, but your 1 ad to dozens from
PS4/XBone just arent cutting it Nintendo.

How are they justifying $5 for 8bit NES games like urban champion lol. I can get PS1 games like dino crisis 2, FF7, Resident Evil 2 for $6 on PSN (for my PS3 & PSP). I love Ninty and my WiiU, but my nostalgic attachment (been with Ninty since mid 80's) has been fading and fading these past few months and their VC choices and how their determining their prices. not value of the game but the console it was released on.

And, by that logic, they're creating a VC drought and bringing crappy VC games just so they will have the SLIGHTEST chance in selling. It's ridiculous and gets more painful week after week logging on and reading these 'Weekly Download' topics ... no offense to NL, not your fault

Needs a better villain gallery. It was all reptile-like villains to coincide with the lizard storyline. I was never once excited or hyped at any of the villains revealed during my gameplay (if you're gonna 'borrow' mechanics from the Arkham games, understand the grand villain cast is what also sold the game). Needs less screen tearing; and better alternate costumes longtime Spidey fans actually recognize (not the alternate universe costume crap). I' m looking forward to the game, those are just my most wanted improvements.

I'm glad for the little bump in success, but as I've stated before this kinda sends the wrong message to the general audience. As in the fact a 10 year old game from 2 generations ago is what is selling the system. Not new games, not 3rd party games

Don't misread into what I'm saying as "hater post" lol. I'm enjoying WW HD and glad it's gotten the response it has. But when debating with friends on other systems it's kinda hard to use this in an argument, whereas PS3/360 HD ports are just there for being there ... but seems WiiU is banking on the success of their HD port to boost sales of hardware and awareness leading up to the holiday season's release of games.

Bummed as well. And was only interested in the level editor to share and play other miiverse players creations. I don't use steam, so I'll just brush this off. Still would have rather preferred TT1 ($2 when it arrives on eshop) as consolation but it's only $2 bucks so no worries. Still support 2Tribes and lookin forward to what they have planned for the future of wiiU

A developer actually "excited" about developing for the WiiU GamePad, how intriguing.

I'll wait 3-4 weeks for the $20 price drop on amazon,

So, if Capcom is included, should we already be expecting a $20 DL game to have $20 DLC content on day 1? For myself, I saw this as a formed company rebelling against their former employers to make the game the fans wanted but weren't allowed. Now this almost seems like a "hey capcom, see what we can accomplish without you ... get your checkbook ready if you want us back". Well, over dramatizing a bit, but I was most excited about this project cause it was like a rebellion towards Capcom, the former employees branching out on their own to make the game the fans have been craving for, for so long.

It just worries me that their #1 selling game is most likely going to be an HD port of a 10 year old game. Doesn't speak too highly to the current gen audience that the 'must have' games are there.

Anytime Ubisoft is mentioned on this site with whatever controversy/theatrics they're pulling, I just pull out my copy of BlackList on WiiU and quote the jews ... "Never Again"

I love Toki Tori 2. My personal Wii-U GOTY. The level editor was one of the major selling points for me in the beginning. I love the game, it is flawless imo ... but scrapping a feature that's been mentioned since day 1 and just saying "oh well" is not the way to handle this. I love 2Tribes, my current favorite indie developer, and there does need to be some kind of consolation towards a major percentage of TT2 owners that the level editor was one of the main reasons it swayed their purchase. I actually mentioned the level editor feature in my Club Nintendo registry of the game in "what was most influential in your decision to purchase this game ...".

I'm not gonna cry over the missing feature, but many will not let this go away silently. I mean, heck, even a free eShop DL of one of their $2 games coming soon would be a good consolation. Give us TT1 for free on eShop, when it arrives, and you're only out $2 per customer that would "actually" redeem the offer.

The D-pad controls combined with that ridiculous auto center crap alone made this game deserve a negative score. Luckily I got the game for $10 ... I am a Myst fan and was looking for a reason to play through it again after all these years. ABSOLUTELY no effort went into this 3DS port. NONE.

Survival Horror ( not 100% sure if this is survival horror genre material) is built on the feeling of isolation. Co-op is what killed Resident Evil for me ( and RE4 but that's for another debate ...). "No online co-op" does not affect my interest in this game, i prefer it that way. The only game I have to have online play for is Smash Bros lol.

I never played any Diablo games so not sure what that means with the ALTTP and Diablo mixture. Same as Sinalefa; just got charged for both my backing for MM#9 and Shantae, so I'm on the lookout for supporting other WiiU indie titles I'm interested in.

Niiiiiiiice! I was ready to repay $10 for Toki Tori 1 on eShop, but $2 is a steal!

Thank goodness. This was one of the first stretch goals I was hoping for. Can't wait for development news from WF during the process.

As I've posted numerous times, this & Batman AO were my 2 most anticipated games for the Holiday season. I can manage the wait though. Already overwhelmed as it is with games

@JogurtTheYogurt I did the PS1 scaling/stretch thing for dino crisis 2 on ps3; and immediately switched it back to it's original format. Though, the plus side is it's optional on ps3, which Nintendo should have just updated an option in rather than make it the only ratio available.

Very Nice! Now we need more backers for Shantae

Like many here, not expecting anything major as to not get my hopes up.

Folders, Unified account system, and online fixes are the top of my list of wants, though.

@TheLilK98 Congratulations, you completely understood my point. lol. I think some are misinterpreting my comments as N bashing, which is not the case. I just understand the general gamer audience and their misconception of Nintendo. That's why I tried to stress the fact, yes, we, us, who go online and read articles and research gaming news know this ... but not everyone does this, and therefore only go by what they see, hear, and observe that is going on in the nintendo market. I don't buy other consoles for games, I'm stubborn and only play on nintendo consoles. I did buy a 360 for 2 reasons, Banjo Kazooie & Banjo Tooie on the xbox arcade thingy. My PS3 sits in my bedroom for 1 purpose, Netflix lol.

@aronatvw I'm sorry but you jumped the gun too soon. I never said that was MY opinion. It's the obvious opinion of the general gaming audience. And I was replying to your comment on why they wouldn't put this on WiiU, before a Sony console, because fans of the game most likely played this on an NES. I understood your comment and agree with the general idea; however, I also understand developers for games are trying to target the bigger user base to reach as many profits as possible. A huge percentage of gamers of the original have grownup and moved on from Nintendo. It's the stone cold truth. I'm not part of that percentage, but I'm not oblivious to the fact that it's true.

@FineLerv I am first and foremost a Nintendo fan when it comes to gaming. And I said, "My friends" not me. Though, I find it hard many times to defend Nintendo's stance in gaming. I like nintendo and what they do for the most part; the problem is there's obviously many who don't and think of nintendo as a console for kids. Which leads many to not go anywhere near purchasing a Nintendo console solely based on its reputation of being the "left out" console. Gamers want Games. They want the 3rd party games that everyone is talking about. Nintendo doesn't get these games. It's not their fault, 3rd party devs just dont want to support nintendo consoles (and when we actually do get a game it's the weaker version of the 3 consoles). So it gives the general audience, who DON'T go online and research or join gaming communities like we do, the assumption that Nintendo doesn't allow these games on their console, and therefore it is assumed, by the general gaming audience, Nintendo consoles are mainly for kids. I am a Nintendo fan til the day I die, I can't deny that; been so for 30+ years. But even I'm not blind enough to see Nintendo's ship has sailed when it comes to the "general core gamer" audience. Goto your local gaming store, and ask 10 random strangers, not friends, what console they'd rather have "Playstation 4 or Nintendo WiiU" without explaining what each system does or is about (just based purely by the name brand they hear); and see what results you come up with.

Hopefully this sends a message to other 3rd party devs who half donkey their games for WiiU with missing content.

I'm sorry, but wiiU will NEVER captivate casuals like the Wii did. Wii sports is what hooked most casuals in. They bought the system, played the heck out of Wii sports and Nintendo only games, but soon realized all the AAA 3rd party games that were the talk of the town were only being released on competitive consoles ... which is the SAME EXACT thing going on this generation. So all those millions of Wiis just got pushed aside once the Wii Sports fad wore off, and the casuals that "did" become gamers went on to PS3 and 360 to play the games everyone was raving about which you couldn't get for the Wii. And these people know that. The younger audience you want to target ... most kids go with what their friends like, and right now "it's cool" to play CoD on xbox live. That's what kids want to do, they get picked on if they talk about or own a Nintendo console lol. Forget about targeting past Wii owners. Get the games and 3rd party support back. Relaize Nintendo your gamers from the past are grown up and we want grown up games. Yes, I love games like Zelda, Metroid, DK, and Mario, but I also want the AAA 3rd party games others have on competing consoles. Thats what your success is riding on this generation.

@aronatvw Nintendo fans, yes. But most are no longer Nintendo gamers because they grew up, and sadly Nintendo just doesn't realize that as they keep trying to cater to younger and more casual audiences. My friends I grew up with moved on, and they will buy Nintendo Consoles, but only when a new Metroid or Zelda is released for them. That is ALL they play when it comes to Nintendo consoles, everything else they want is only on other consoles.

It all boils down to money and which system is most likely to bring in the most profits.

@rjejr Dude! Super Mario 64 DS ( we're talking about one of the first games released for the original DS almost 9 years ago) is STILL $34.95 at Walmart here in the US. Nintendo doesn't budge at all, though they do rarely, on 1st party price drops. lol

As mentioned above by some real insightful posts ... I love the Batman games for their single player campaign only, I NEVER cared about online multiplayer when it was mentioned, and I already pre-ordered this off Amazon a few months back for WiiU. This and DK Tropical Freeze are my 2 most anticipated titles for the holiday season.

Everyone should expect SMB 3 VC to co-release with Mario 3D Worlds.
On a side note: Checking these topics have always been the highlight of my Thursday mornings. My thursdays have been very sad lately with whats being released for WiiU VC. I expected some DK games to help build hype for Tropical Freeze, but NES DK3?!?!?! Noone would've bought that if it were part of the 30 cent promotion. They should be releasing the DKC SNES games every few weeks apart building up for Tropical Freeze's release.

It's almost like these devs plan the DLC before pre-production even begins on the game. I can still remember the enjoyment of Resident Evil 2 when you had to get S ranks with both characters to unlock the 4th Surivivor mini-game, do t 3 times in a row to unlock Tofu. And also performn certain actions in the game to unlock costumes for your next play through. Those were REWARDING extras. Now we just have to pay for them.
And for this pack, the skins I could care less for. I already pre-ordered off Amazon for $50 with their $10 credit back, so $40 for the game might justify buying the 2 extra missions pack.

YESSSS! Backed and ready to get my copy ... now just the waiting lol. Least we'll have this before Mighty No.9. I hope they release another fund project for the missed stretch goals, if that's possible.

I'm surprised they're not trying to drop some of the DKC SNES games to build up for Tropical Freeze's release.

@shokwave2 it all boils down to D'ffrent strokes for D'ffret folks. I can go on and on about how great games like Fluidity and Toki Tori 2 are because I like games that let me do my thing and explore and figure things out for myself. Every GTA game I've played there's an arrow or compass telling me where to go during missions; that's always been a pet peeve of mine in some of these "block buster" games. I play games for the sense of exploring and discovering objectives on my own. Again, as I said, GTA just never did that for me. I understand it has a cult following and it does offer many things to do, it's just not my type of game.

As I have stressed over and over, Metroid is my favorite franchise of all time, it is in fact my favorite thing in pop-culture (games, movies, music, etc). I say about Other M the same thing I say about Resident Evil 4 to that series ... Other M was a good game, but it was a terrible Metroid game. No sense of exploration or feeling of accomplishment when you obtained upgrades.

This news excites me, because at least we're not stuck with "we have no plans for Metroid at this time ....". right now I would be happy with a Prime 1,2,3 or Trilogy HD WiiU release to hold over til the next game.

@DESS-M-8 Some could argue that was SEGA's answer to Mario 64. Though, I'm not complaining about the similarities to Mario Galaxy; if Nintendo isn't going to do it but would rather keep hashing out 2D mario games; then Sega might as well take a shot with Sonic.

Wii Fit Balance Boards are probably sky rocketing on eBay right now. lol
