wow, nice visuals.

This is a reminder that nobody is forever and talking specifically in Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto may be the last guru at Nintendo and they must think carefully his succession to remain the essence Yamauchi were able to create in the company, so many great memories I have back in the days with the nes, snes, 64 and somehow in the gamecube, he always persecuted innovation not only on gameplay like nowadays but nintendo consoles were the most powerful in graphics term, it was a very magic synergy between power and fun, RIP Mister Yamauchi San.

@FishieFish hahahhaa hell yes

why sega is buying up companies like atlus? what about all the force power they had before? like the amd's, smilebit, amusement, hitmaker, etc. I mean they were disintegrated all this amazing studios and then buy studios again? anyway Im not excited that Atlus is becoming part of sega since sammy holdings bought the company they just use the name and nothing left from the old sega anymore.

@Royalblues Amen to that pal, this is exaclty what I mean when I say that haters on this game must be fanboyism just because is not made by Nintendo and the fact the wii U DO need this kind of games for a healthy and diverse game lineup, again if you think playing gta goes against your moral then yeah you should keep playing pokemon in your lifetime, I mean c-mon its just a game, killing turtles in a mario doesnt make a turtle killer in the real life.

lot of nintendo fanboys here as expected, god we are not in a church or something, I like my 3ds and love nintendo games but many opinions here makes me feel sick, this game is brilliant not because the violence and sex content on it but because how the game is able to reflect the today society in many countries specially in the US. If you talk poopsiecacadoggiedoodleloviepoops about this game cause it goes against your moral so I suggest you keep playin what you enjoy. Gta V its just a fun game.

well I got this one on my ps3 and even with some haters here I can tell you the game is just blown mind my brain, this is much better than play lego city on the wii U.

this game is just an amazin city simulator with tons od content, Nintendo should bring this game to the wii U but instead we got city lego undercover damn it!!!!!

just bring the damn games for the wii U!!

Nintendo did pretty well back then advertising the wii U with all that tablet controller features, the problem is that Nintendo didnt invest enough in game development from its own studios so after a year they still dont get a game enough to make people get convinced why Wii U is a worth buy, so even with w101 and pkm 3 its really not enough compare whit what other consoles can offer you and with no games on the market also there is no advertising.

@MadAussieBloke the doomsayers out there are dooming the wii U, not the company LOL

kind of sucks, looks too childish to me, Dr. Eggman rules.

if this thing works fine I may get one soon.

I just wonder why many people here are saying the home console market in Japan is declining so what about the ps3 sofware sales? for an old console its doing pretty well.

@Kifa what worries me is that nor pikmin 3, w101 were able to remain on this list for long, I mean people in Japan are still buying games for the psp instead of the "big" wii U releases. It is clearly that the kickdonkey game still not arrive yet for the wii U to sell massively.

wow I would love dead or alive 5 on wii U

I would love to have a 3d world miiverse, an avatar in a virtual world interacting with other users ala animal crossing but this idea was taken by sony some years ago so its really unlikely to see something similar on WII U

@ScorpionMG so, currently zombi u, rayman and splinter cell are what? watch dogs, assassins creed 4 and child of light? man no offense but you just talk nonsenses. Ubisoft are supporting the wii U even more than Nintendo itself LOL

nice indie support there but I am still waiting for AAA games on my wii U!

there are tons of fps out there, why bother with this one? it looks so outdated and Im not only refering the graphics aspect of it.

wow Aonuma give a lesson to all that fanboys who dont play anything beyond their favorite brand, it gives you a wider perspective as a gamer or developer in this case.

@b23cdq dont get me wrong, I also hate this kind of games, I have an iPhone 5 and I never play on it, its an amazin devices for media at least for me but I prefer play on my 3ds xl but sadly many people are comparing ios and android software with nintendo because they are looking for this kind gamers, thats why the terrible name "wii U"they gave to the console because clearly they want to replicate the sucess on the wii with all those casual gamers.

@IxnayontheCK something like snes 2 with powerfull hardware to entice third party developers and same pad controller!

@mike_intv I think the idea of the ds-3ds tv converter is not bad but the problem I can see is that ds and 3ds has really low resolution on screen to be enjoyable on a hd TV, if im not mistaken the vita is already HD

@Peach64 Im totally agree with you on everything you have said, nongamers are not interesting on upgrade their old console simply because they are not part of the core gamers who wants to play the sequel of castlevania or mario, "mom wont buy a wii U in order to get a wii fit U"

@Fingeldor all this is useless if you dont have good games enough to get a console.

@b23cdq do you have an idea what are you talking about? have you ever heard about micro transaction in game? well in a week more than 25 million potential clients, how about in a year? do you think this numbers can compare with any game on 3ds? do your maths, candy crush is also a free game and Im pretty sure their sales are massive aswell, yeah you should be impressed because finally what Nintendo are looking for is this kind of massive sales.

@Kirk I believe the low res textures are because it has lot of polygon render in real time at least more than most of the games right now on the handheld, personally I found this game quit interesting and good enough to get it as soon as possible.

@Luke8400 the kids are not really interesting on a depth gaming experience, call it casual if you want, the point here is that Nintendo are looking for the massive sales, it is a fact that most of the casual gamers created on wii now are using an ipad at home and it seems looking at wii U sales after almost one year that they are not interesting on buy a dedicated console anymore because their devices provide everything they need, the boom sales on ios makes people like Gruber said that if Nintendo are interesting on those casual gamers they need make games on ios otherwise you go for the core gamers who already jump to ps3 ps4, 360 bone.

@Mytoemytoe they are talking about the massive audience the ios already have, more than 25 million downloads in a week for plant vs zombies is not something you want to miss specially Nintendo.

@Ibrahim77 this is called market evolve, same situation happened in the 80's when the younger nes adopters didn't know what an atari was for.

@Frank90 numbers are talking, must of the casual gamers Nintendo create many years ago with the ds now are playing on a smartphone, plants vs zombies 2 in a week got more that 25 millions download worlwide, again, numbers are talking.

@herooftime you cant just ignore what is happening outside the bubble, all this "negative" comments from people you've never hear off were on the console market, they failed because they didnt adapt to the market and they have enough experience to make an opinion, leave it or take it is a fact.

@Zael your point really make sense nowadays its really difficult to see people carrying a 3ds or vita on the go, you talk about portability? your smartphone provide everything you need, personally I only play my 3ds at home or when I need leave home for several days, many people complain about Bushnell statement but speaking frankly the point you mentioned about the poor feedback between costumers and company is another issue they need focus if they want to remain in this market that evolve really fast.

@Chris720 your intolerance to another people's opinion gave me cancer

I have an iPhone 5 and I just hate how games are becoming garbage, ugly gameplay, low budget, yeah sadly includes sonic.

Nintendo along this year failed attracting big companies to make exclisives on wii U, well its time to look at the indie industry, but here is the problem, many people didnt buy the console for indie games...

I´ll buy this one at day one but I just wonder when they will show some real wii U footage? because I think this version is from the PC.

after lord of shadow I´m really disappointed with castlevania, why they dont make a game like this one or like the ds era with a nice story and updated graphics.

He looks so happy, I'm glad they made it, those are very talented people enjoying making games, thanks Inafune!.

@Kroisos if you are not a fanboy you cant say you are fine with beteshda statement, they make really good games and Nintendo with their secrecies and outdated policies are scaring developers away.

with this one will be two months with nothing for me, arghh!

very good article, Nintendo's policies are outdated, I remember when Iwata stated that right now it is more difficult to impress the people than before, well ps3 and 360 were enable to handle HD games since 2006, most of the casual people are using ipads since some years ago so the tablet like controller is everything but new, the secrecy Nintendo use on make their hardware its juts ridiculous and everytime when somebody ask Nintendo about the low specs hardware they always use the playstation 2 case were it was the weakest console on the last generation, for me that excuse doesnt make any sense to me because they always said they dont have competitors, they make things on their way, true or not Nintendo should change their politics and support and involve more developers on their ship because I dont think Nintendo can remain themself only by their own ip's and ignoring the world.

@Bobberella77 when a company have in mind developers to propose ideas to make the console more attractive it doesn't hurt innovation, I think its the opposite because in the last term are developers who are going to make games for it.

@Wheels2050 Sony and microsoft are pulling the boat out!! they are giving every sigle month many free games to their consumers via psn and xbl (like eshop) so I think Nintendo cant just ignore the fact that actually yes they have competitors at all.

wow, many fanboys here, really a zelda remake over a watch dogs or dkc? :S

I dont want to play this on my mac, let's reach the premium 2.5 mil goal so we can play this gem on wii U.

@NbaJunkie Actually he is the father of megaman, he cannot use megaman name but all his art style remains intact.

you should state all his favorite games, not just Zelda

I bought the wii U since its launch and from day 1 till pikmin 3 was released I just played new super mario and nintendo land, because other third party games didnt appeal to me enough to get them, the point is I do really feel regret to get the console at day 1, with the price cut and the zelda bundle make me feel somebody cheatme, I will never buy a nintendo console at launch.
