i think this approach has paid dividends. it doesn't feel mario-like, but more luigi-like. as it should be.

he seems like a nice and down to earth guy. great interview!

licensed movie games have never impressed in the last few years and couple of months, and this one is no exception.

sounds excellent

i've seen the super nintendo version being played on an episode of gamecenter CX arino's challenge on youtube and it looks hard but challenging as well. atlus have been good so far, so fingers crossed this comes to the west.

urban champion should be replaced by say advance wars, starfy or a zelda game.

@Void haha!!

i can't wait, even though june feels like a long wait.

i'd also add new infinite space and billy hatcher as well on my list

new shining force
new skies of arcadia
new sonic as good as or better than colors
valkyria chronicles 4
virtua fighter 5 final showdown or VF6
jet set radio
new panzer dragoon
new streets of rage
new space channel 5
new fighting vipers
phantasy star online 2
bayonetta 1 for wii U eshop
shenmue 3
border break
hatsune miku
anarchy reigns
yakuza 6

from sega: "We are constantly looking at all areas of our business and in this case have made the decision to not continue development of the Wii U version. Rest assured that we have some fantastic developments for Wii U in the pipeline which we will announce at a later date."

now sega should make up for it by releasing either jet set radio, virtua fighter 5 final showdown, phantasy star zero, vanquish, skies of arcadia or valkyria chronicles as its replacement game on the wii U.

If you're old enough to remember the original Transformers, He-Man and G.I. Joe toy lines, then chances are you'll also be aware of Battle Beasts. >> i remember the first 3 but not battle beasts. i don't recall them being popular in the U.K.

game looks interesting though.

interesting news about the buyout. still, the HMV at london's trocadero is gone for good. i still believe that people will prefer to shop online on sites such as play.com and amazon for best deals on games, because they do not want to pay full price for them.

i agree but also disagree with him. as much as i enjoy most of capcom, sega, namco bandai's efforts and to a lesser extent, konami, i think their best days are behind them. they used to churn out hits and great titles in the 80s, 90s. nowadays, not so much. as for western developers, the indie developers are my favourites moreso than the main ones like activision, EA, ubisoft. creativity is lacking, as well as diversity of games, which is something that needs to be addressed. not everyone wants to play FPS games and i wished side scrolling shooters, beat em' ups, fighting games to name- genres that have been so dominant during the 80s & 90s made a comeback. it's what the industry and games scene needs.

bayonetta 2, windwaker, yarn yoshi, wonderful 101, pikmin 3, watch dogs, game and wario, duck tales in that order for me. funny a lot of people say the wii U has no good games coming out when this article proves otherwise.

i loved the trailer and the graphics are looking sharp

not sure about system seller, but if it sells really, really well, then it'll be a success on their part.

intelligent systems, please make his happen

interesting. hope this one gets localised. was bummed about capcom's other game E.X troopers staying in japan and not getting a worldwide release.

really good piece, which also highlights the state of the video games industry today. i feel that with many games from established publishers and developers such as capcom, konami, activision, sega to name, it appears that with consoles becoming twice as powerful than their predecessors, the lack of creativity and diversity is what is depriving the games industry. say what you like about the 80s and 90s and 8 bit, 16 bit graphics of the nintendo and sega systems, but those games had replayability, interesting characters, great gameplay and there were all types of games available. shoot em' ups, beat em' ups, platformers, puzzles, RPGs. plus, it was at a time before video games became more mainstream and accepted alongside movies, tv shows, music.

as for the whole 3rd party issue, there is that argument that wii U, wii owners only buy nintendo games. but here lies a lose- lose situation for those of us who have been blighted by 3rd party support, ever since the N64 era. when we wanted third party games on the wii for example, we got mostly shovelware because mainly 3rd parties were put off by the lack of processing power.

the third party support issue used to be a worry for me, but you know, i could care less. i am content with mario, zelda, metroid, smash bros. i play nintendo games on nintendo consoles and anything that third parties bring to the wii U that appeals and interests me, such as monster hunter, wonderful 101, bayonetta 2, is a bonus.

@SethNintendo re: I was looking at articles on mynintendonews (this site was down last night) and that site completely sucks compared to this site. There is apparently no moderations on that site and the user comments represents mainly garbage. >> i stopped posting on My Nintendo News over a year ago for good when i realised how bad the trolling was and that the person running the site didn't even bother to clamp down on the rude & troll-like comments. i agree that My Nintendo News is not very good.

i don't expect much from activision - they're not one of my favourite developers and yet it's a shame that yet again they have hardly produced anything noteworthy outside of COD. zombiU looks much more interesting than this.

i've visited other nintendo sites such as official nintendo magazine, cubed3, nintendojo, go nintendo and whilst i enjoy each one of them, it was this website that i signed up to. they are good but they just don't compare to nintendo life. i really enjoy the features and opinion articles, as well as the reviews and the virtual console & retro gaming sections.

keep up the great work and happy anniversary!

nintendo should buy up rare's franchises instead of rare. just banjo, killer instinct, perfect dark. microsoft might have bought the rights to killer instinct, but so far, what are they doing with that I.P? nothing so to speak of.

@sinalefa i wish the same as well, but sadly under the current SNK, it would never happen.

D4 enterprise need to keep bringing the neo geo games on the wii and/or wii U V.C.

if this retails at under £100 i might be tempted, but this is great. i have no problems with clone systems that play games from different consoles, as long as they are in working order.

glad R.O.B wasn't thrown in the trash

@sillygostly same here. they should've ported DoA 5 to wii U instead of giving us those dynasty warriors and fist of the north star games.

sega had sega world before it was closed down, as well as there is namco funscape near the london eye, so why not? as for other attractions, metroid blast from nintendo land turned into an actual attraction.

mario go kart, f-zero ride, something representing fire emblem too.

i liked ecco the dolphin, so i'd be up for it.

i bet you some so-called 'gamers' will look at this one and go 'this is kiddy or this is chlldish'. sighs. this looks like one of those games were a lot of time and effort has been put in and the end result turns out well.

will recommend this to my young niece.

people are still complaining?! goodness. the double standards are extraordinary though: it's okay for PS3, 360 owners to have games like bayonetta but they think it's not right for nintendo fans, wii U owners to be entitled to games like bayonetta, and as a exclusive?

for 6 years during the wii's lifespan, and in spite of wii's sales, we've seen some great games from capcom, konami, sega to name grace sony and microsoft systems, whilst wii got mostly shovelware from 3rd parties.

i hope wii U secures more exclusives - shenmue 3 anyone? yet the more quality 3rd party titles, the better.

this was announced recently for north america's wii V.C. which is great. it should be a while until it hits european shores.

@Rensch And why did they replace Donald's role in the comics with that pilot dude? >> launchpad mcquack? yeah, i wonder about that as well.

capcom should announce final fight, rival schools, power stone, captain commando next

i've been skeptical of capcom for the past 3 years, but with monster hunter 3 ultimate, resident evil revelations announced for the wii U, they're in my good books again. i enjoyed the NES game so reading this news, it shocked and surprised me and it's great a new ducktales game is being made.

that clip looks great.

yay!

if animal crossing: new leaf and fantasy life get released outside of japan, it would make a lot of 3DS owners and fans of animal crossing games very happy.

aargh, i so want this!

D4 enterprise need to release KOF 99 - 12 on the wii U virtual console. but this is arguably the pinnacle in the series and good thing it is out.

i like this one more than max factory's, mainly because link's face looks better in my opinion.

i was upbeat about the wii U version a few weeks ago, in spite of the low scores of the PS3, 360 versions of aliens: colonial marines. but now, i'm not too sure.

if sega has indeed scrapped it for good, i hope they have something else lined up, such as phantasy star online 2, vanquish, anarchy reigns, virtua fighter, jet set radio. i'd be happy with that.

i don't have an xbox 360 nor PS3, so this news makes me very happy. . not a huge fan of square enix these days but if they can make this version as good as those other versions, i'd definitely consider making this a purchase.

i don't care who develops it, it should come out on the wii U. renewing the trademark is an encouraging sign, however nintendo needs to do something with the franchise. personally, i'd rather have a sequel than a remake, but if we get a remake with superior graphics, enhanced gameplay and controls and retaining that dark, eerie tone that has served eternal darkness well, then brilliant.

fire emblem is one of those game series with a not so small but dedicated following of fans outside of japan and it was only a matter of time for a F.E game to be a success, sales-wise. thankfully, awakening is that game that has made it happen. looking forward to it next month, and with this current set of characters, it would be nice if the next F.E entry was based around chrom, lucina etc and is a follow-up to awakening but for the wii U.

a price cut is necessary to shift more units, but i do think nintendo needs to promote and advertise the wii U and the games more often. speaking of games, more wii U titles need to be released as well.

either he suffered an accident, got beaten up by some thugs. or perhaps thought it was an interesting look. either way, looking forward to this one. hope it makes it outside japan.

looks interesting.

fire emblem was to nintendo as langrisser is to sega. this game would definitely interest fire emblem fans and it would be nice to see the original on the wii U V.C as well.

i'd be in support of this idea, as long as it means cheaper prices for games. of course it would be much cheaper online, but if it gets people to buy games instore, then it means you don't miss out on the retail shopping experience of going into shops and buying games.

sega needs to put this on the wii U V.C.
