I think there's a typo somewhere in this article. A company praising the Wiiu .... impossible!!!!

Both games sound interesting, as a huge supporter for WiiU Indies both games will be day 1 purchases from me. Just out of curiosity; which game is from the Article Image? That screen shot alone sells the game for me

Boardgame looks awesome from the screenshots

@JaxonH Same here, and it is so frustrating. Nintendo doesn't understand the Wii Sports, Wii Fit, and Wii Party/Play gamers have moved on from that fad. Yes, Wii did amazing in drawing in a huge crowd, but it didn't keep many of them around for long once they caught onto the fact games everyone else was playing was on OTHER systems and they moved on. they keep trying to ride on and duplicate the success of the Wii and it ins't happening and never will.

im probably one of the few that actually is happy today and am much more excited to get simons quest rather than the long overdo SMB3

@Goginho dont get your hopes up. No way is nintendo going to release an $8 superior game with all 4 nes mario games when they can milk them for $5 a piece with the nes versions.

If we're just adding any news & articles for the sake of it, there's a billion more videos like these. Haven't seen an article on NL for this one yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGiUyJzVrfY

Obvious fake, as well ... but obvious clicks and comments are sure to come along with it

Just because they can port games to WiiU with this engine, doesn't necessarily mean they would actually want to. There's still plenty of "3rd party excuses" they can pick from for not bringing games to WiiU. We shall see ....

Are we seriously going to see articles like these when a game (not even in development yet) is not coming to WiiU. WE GET IT, WiiU is only guaranteed Nintendo game at this point .... You don't see Sony/Xbox sites making articles, "Surprise ... Nintendo is making a new mario/zelda game, but it won't be coming to PS4/XBone".

I'll just watch my Alien bluray with my GamePad in my hand and pretend I'm playing this game. Probably have a better experience than what the game will offer when its released. these Alien games always look so promising when first revealed .... but we already know how a majority of them actually turn out when rerleased.

@MAB Did you say "Metroidvania" type game? Those are instant buys on my list. Gonna go DL it now.

Of course I can be patient. I'm just thinking about all the MarioU/LuigiU and ZeldaWW WiiU bundles many got today that can't even download their system bundled games. Of course the system is down, but new system owners are going to be frustrated with their new console because .... they can't even play the bundled games lol (which for many is probably the only game they got with their new system which only adds to the frustration)

my favorite Nintendo moment this year .... was getting my favorite game of all time, Super Metroid, for a mere 30 cents

even though it wont win, Pikmin 3 got my vote in all categories it was nominated in. i bought the game without playing the previous entries and not knowing what to expect; and it literally blew me away every second i played it.

@MAB <--- THIS! I have a power plug-in next to my recliner's end table, which my charging cradle rests on, and my charging cable always ready to be plugged in if I'm running low.

Pikmin 3 was my first game to play in the series and I loved it!!! Still loving it, actually! Went and got the first 2 on Wii and looking forward to check them out whenever I get the chance

I probably won't get one because my feedback comments on CN lacks fan support lol. Like many others, I always add the comment in the last feedback section on club nintendo how they're online eShop system lacks what other consoles offer, "cross-platform" purchases. and week after week their VC game choice releases are below par.

but, i did buy and register my WiiU on day 1, bought every 1st party Nintendo game released and registered them (besides the wario one). Be nice top get one, but if I don't it's not a big deal.

Happy News!!! I've backed this one as well when I seen around 3 days ago they got to 30,000. I've gotten quiet addicted to backing WiiU targeted kickstarters the past couple of months

As posted in the UK download topic earlier today, I picked up 4 today after I got off work. Couldn't pass up that deal. Sadly, the eShop is down right now for maintenance so I can't add them yet til it gets back up. Though maybe that is good news as updates are on the way.

@TruenoGT Thanx for the tip!!! Just ordered 4 off their site and picking them up from their store after work.
Hoping NA also gets ALTTP this week. Better later than never, I guess.

@burninmylight Same here, man. I'm in my thirties and absolutely enjoy Miiverse. Whether I'm chatting about games, posting screen shot achievements and such; it really is neat how something so simple really makes the WiiU stand out in that aspect. Though, I do question some actions the admins take on posts that are not rule breaking which clearly shows its an automated system or something moderating the app. My main 2 gripes I've always had are kids spamming sections with non sense posts, and the stupid yeah begging.
Which, I will say the recent update where they made players posts show by default in game sections, and they removed 'Yeah' counts from members profiles have really made an impact on those 2 issues I mainly had. I haven't seen a yeah beggar for a week or so.

As far as the update goes, are they actually merging WiiU & 3DS Miiverse's? Or will they be separate platforms but where you use the same NN. ID Because if they're separate then there shouldn't be any reason to shut down WiiU Miiverse to add the 3DS Miiverse.

Random unimaginable speculation: adding Power Glove compatibility for browsing all platform eShops.

@URAmk2 Of course, you're right. I made up something like that, rather than making up something completely overly dramatic and over the top. I should put more effort in my 'fake stories' I suppose. Bravo, good sir! You are just too pro.

I can quote from one of my friends who loves Sony and buys every new system at launch; this is what he said to me when I asked him how it was after his first night of playing the PS4 ... "Well, the graphics are great no doubt, but while I'm playing a couple of games I'm just stuck thinking to myself, 'ok. what new to gaming does this console even offer besides prettier graphics'. Even I'll admit, there's really nothing spectacular or innovative about it." --- thats a quote from him.
He is an extreme hardcore Zelda fan as well, and no joking, he only, and I mean ONLY, buys Nintendo consoles when a new zelda is released and only for that reason.

@f00had While the other 50% probably just downloaded it and played through HomeBrew.

No complaints here. I have WAYYYY too many games on my hands to play through, right now, as it is.

He must not have played Need For Speed on Wiiu; where you can use the Pro Controller for driving, and stand your GamePad in front of you (mimicking an "in-dash" control screen) where you have control of all your settings, map, rivals, objectives, heck even a rear-view mirror, and such. So CONVENIENT.
Also, Pikmin 3, which Nintendo knows their system best; I love how they allow you to switch controls on the fly (GamePad to wiiMote/nunchuk) without having to go into a menu. Using WiiMote/Nunchuk while having your map always displayed and setting objectives and directions for your party members is ingenious. It's almost hard to go back and play games on my PS3 ( my PS3 is only used as a wifi Netflix player in my bedroom lol) but all I play on PS3 is Portal 1 & 2

I really haven't tried the 2nd screen apps for other systems so can't really form an opinion on them; but you can tell they were just integrated for the sake of having what nintendo brought to the table.

@Peach64 "So some positives… PS4 is sold out, so next week, they'll hardly sell any consoles, so software sales should be down too. "

LOL! Love the sarcastic enthusiasm

@jrob23 Did you read what I wrote, thoroughly?
"Yes, I love mario games, they're fun ... but [[[[[[[[[[[[many longtime nintendo fans I grew up with are tired of the milking of Mario Nintendo relies so much on]]]]]] ..... Mario is fun, I enjoy each core platforming mario title, but it's not bringing back the core gamers you lost long ago."

I have no issue with Mario/Luigi titles. I play and enjoy them all (except I don't care for the Party or Sports games with Mario). I was just giving the general impression from many of my friends (and what I read everywhere on why many have moved on from N) that I grew up with and why they, along with many others, have moved on from Nintendo.

As a diehard Nintendo fan, even I'm not oblivious to the poor decisions made going into the WiiU. It's a great console and I love it dearly. But Nintendo screwed up trying to ride off the success of the Wii going into the current gen. The wii sold like crazy, we all know that, but it was a fad for the "non-gamer audience" and they have since moved on; or they noticed 3rd party games their friends were playing were not available for the Wii, add in the horrible online structure, and waggles controls and they moved on, as well.
Yes, I love mario games, they're fun ... but many longtime nintendo fans I grew up with are tired of the milking of Mario Nintendo relies so much on. We get 5-7 games a year starring mario, whether it's 2d, 3d, sports, rpg, party, whatever. Yet so many of their franchises have layed dormant for YEARS. Mario is fun, I enjoy each core platforming mario title, but it's not bringing back the core gamers you lost long ago.
Nintendo is targeting the younger audience which does NOT make sense. Younger gamers are easily swayed into what their friends or the "cooler older gamers" are playing, and they're all on XB & PS ... these kids will whine and cry for what they want. There's not many that will first ask for a WiiU.
What's really ironic, is they saturated the media with Wii commercials, but what sold the Wii was word of mouth. This time, Nintendo was banking on word of mouth to the sell the WiiU (seeing as they never had ads for it anywhere; and look at the state we're in.
As said, I LOVE the WiiU. My favorite console since the N64. But I just can't understand the decisions being made on Nintendo's marketing stratgey.

i really want to back this game, but already have backed 5 WiiU games on kickstarter that i wont see until later next year. with this one there will be a 3 month wiiu delay after the Ouya release, which means it could be sometime in 2015 before its released

@JustinH Thanx for the headsup. I just checked and seems to be the plan. I'll check back in a few days to see the turnout. I'll most likely go with the $25 reward-tier.
Though one quote on the page has me a little iffy ... "we commit that this game will be an OUYA exclusive for a period of time" .... which means we could wait even longer for our version. I'll have to look more into that.

I would back LOBO in a heartbeat, but I only want it for WiiU. I don't back games unless I'm 100% guaranteed the game for WiiU. Since it's nowhere near it's WiiU stretch goal, I'll bookmark this on my KS profile and watch it in the following weeks.

@DESS-M-8 Agree with you, except on the lacking story part. The previous Arkham games I was more blown away by the gallery of villains used, where as the stories, they just seemed 'ok' to me. But Origins had several nice twists and nice ways to introduce certain character's relations with Batman it literally had me gripped throughout. Most Arkham games I'm focused on the collectibles and 100%'ing, Origins I hurried through the main story because it really did have me intrigued throughout. 8/10 for me as well. I'm not obsessed with numbers, but how Origins gets a 6 & some mindless "physics broken tilt" eShop game 'Puddle' (worst WiiU game purchase, for me) gets a 7 is beyond me

Shantae & Shovel Knight for me., Possibly QUBE, as well.

My question is, are they planning on adding the ENTIRE 3DS catalogue; retail games, eShop games, apps, etc on the 3DS Miiverse. Like how each game, app, etc has it's own section on WiiU. 3DS Miiverse is going to be insanely huge and if they add them by release date will be a nightmare to navigate and find game sections. Hopefully they make a system to have it more organized, like alphabetically, genre, or something more convenient then from newest to oldest.

I'm just hoping they don't merge the 3DS & WiiU Miiverse forums with one another.

OK, I'm kind of confused here .... it seems Nintendo is doing some things that actually make sense, recently. This is great news for us VC addicts. now just get the games out.

Already have these due to the 3DS A,bassdor, and WiiU $1 VC upgrades. But it's a most welcome addition as long as these are weekly promotion deals.

people already posting on miiverse with screenshots of toki tori 1. yet its not even on my eShop page

Very happy for the WiiU success story. Though, I've always been a day 1 Nintendo console buyer but with the launches of 3DS & WiiU and seeing the better deals they provide a year later is gonna make me hesitant on the next console day 1 purchase. I mean, 32gb console, mario & luigi u, we paid like $430 + tax, all that now for $299 plus tax. Just glad to finally see WiiU building a better install base.

I'm sure if they put it back up then its working. I already have it on my vWii channel so cant test myself.

They are DEAD WRONG! I went to 13 different game retailer stores today; 4 walmarts, 3 targets, 4 gamestops, 1 best buy, and 1 toys r us ... and guess what? Not a single one of them knew what I was talking about when I asked if they had any Wii Fit Meters for sale .... not one. They didn't receive any to have in stock "supposedly" waiting for all these new WiiU buyers for wii fit U and meter lol. 1 guy at Gamestop thought I was talking about a Wii Fit Board ( not balance board) he referred to it as a wii fit board. Meaning, if the distributors don't know anything about it, then how do they expect the public to know anything about it? I just don't get nintendo and what they think is right for the system. The price drop will sale systems, the newly released bundles will sale systems, but Wii Fit is not going to push any systems. Well, maybe 2 or 3, MAYBE.

Plus, even if there were a billion advertisements promoting this promotion, it would not drive system sales. The Wii fad and everything that went with it has long gone set sail. Nintendo had some cool game ideas and gimmicks with the Wii; but they CANNOT expect that to follow through for the WiiU's success.

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.
