they should make an arcade stick for fighting games, like they did with super streetfighter 4 for the wii U.

if tekken tag does well on the wii U as well as the DC fighting game, and i hope it does, i hope other fighting games see the light of day on the system like DoA 5, soul calibur 5, darkstalkers and sega's virtua fighter series; my favourite fighting game franchise.

i was slightly disappointed by nintendo's showing. even by showing mario and pikmin, i thought this would've been a good opportunity to show or talk a little bit more about zelda, metroid, smash bros or any of their other I.Ps. even if those games haven't been released or won't be released for the next couple of months.

it is marginally better than microsoft's E3 though, and even ubisoft, of whom i'm not a huge fan of, i thought their presentation for the wii U was interesting.

looking forward to wednesday's 3DS showing.

excellent news

tekken prime 3D's lack of modes was what let the game down. let's hope this wii U version is miles better than that game.

it is rather poor for the wii U as i'd expected more, or indeed better. but i do prefer this line-up over the 3DS's launch line up.

this looks interesting. platinum did make bayonetta and anarchy reigns, so they're record is quite impressive. i don't quite get why this has got so many dislikes on youtube.

i agree with those saying nintendo won't reveal the price tomorrow .

notice how the logo covers up her boobs, which were in one of the promo stills for this game.

well done, north america. now, here's hoping it hits european shores next.

i really like that new controller

i'm not bothered about the name of the console. the name is the least of my worries and things i'm keen on. it's the games more than anything, but we will find those out later on at E3.

i was going to watch it on nintendo direct, but yes, i'll be tuning in on this site instead.

the latest twist to this story is that according to blockbuster, it is purely sales speculation:

i'm a fan of both nintendo and sega, so i'm not complaining with this!

@Kyloctopus but i expected assassins creed, ghost recon and rayman announced for the wii U by ubisoft. just dance for me needs to stay on the wii .

some of those sound dodgy to me. just dance and your shape 2013? i hope these 2 aren't actually released for the wii U.

as for the rest, aliens, darksiders, batrman, ninja gaiden, tekken, pikmin 3 and to an extent the mario bros game look definite certs to be on the system.

of course, the truth will come out next month in E3.

@billy-beauts i'd rather have DOA 5 instead of tekken as the wii U's fighting game launch title.

@Uncle_Optimus true. f- Zero by sega, with metroid by retro studios for me.

@theblackdragon i agree.

whether or not it is starfox, the fact that they are working on a wii U game sounds really exciting. with mario, pikmin, star fox and a couple of third party releases ready as launch games, and the wii U is all set and ready to go.

first it was super streetfighter 2 on the megadrive/genesis, then hang-on, now this. sega's support for the V.C has been amazing so far during these last few months. i even sent them a message on twitter complimenting them for putting their games on the wii V.C service. and they replied with a 'thank you'. which was really considerate of them.

sega, amongst other third party companies haven't been consistent in putting out their good titles on the wii, but when it comes to the V.C, they delivered.

go sega!

@Nightsider i second the notion to metroid on the wii U made by retro studios or gearbox.

i don't care for the call of duty series; however, if sales of the game helps the wii U in the long run, then it's no bad thing.

the only FPS i care for is aliens: colonial marines. the gameplay may be a lot of like COD but the setting is really different and it sounds as if gearbox/sega is really going to make it as great and different to COD as they can. good thing it's coming to the wii U!

my fourth favourite nintendo console with my favourite being the N.E.S, then super nintendo, gameboy in that order.

it was definitely better than the N64 and 3rd party wise was and is better than the wii. my favourite games were metroid prime, Loz windwaker and twilight princess, F-zero GX, fire emblem: path of radiance, luigi's mansion, soulcalibur 2 and viewtiful joe.

5pm for me, unless i have other commitments that day.

wishing him a speedy recovery

only less than a month to go until E3- it''s getting ever so close!

i hope nintendo surprises us but also that the launch line up is much better than the 3DS's.

i hope jacky bryant from virtual fighter is in this one. i was disappointed that he and akira didn't make the wii and DS versions of sonic and all stars racing.

also, love to see raphael from rhythm thief as well.

i preferred hang on over road rash, although road rash was a pretty good game. back at the time when EA were a good company. sigh.

but yes, nice to see hang on on the wii V.C.

@Kage_88 That fact that title won multiple Game of the Year Awards is a damning indictment of the gaming media in general, IMO. >> it's also a damning indictment of the video games industry on the whole today and the direction it is going.

you know that ex-sega employee, the sonic director, hirokazu yasuhara, who recently joined nintendo a while back? well, i think him and miyamoto should collaborate together and make a new video game character and franchise.

@Capt_N I've always wondered if Nintendo was going to eventually give Samus a male counterpart, in the Metroid franchise. I would think they would for multiplayer action, but Prime 2, & Hunters say otherwise. >> they should make anthony higgs from metroid: other m playable

i hate to say this but as much as i am a fan of the wii, the lack of quality third party games killed the system. first-party support from nintendo was excellent, but third-party wise, the wii just didn't have enough quality titles to keep people interested in the system long enough. instead, most of those third party games were shovel-ware.

at times, i was envious of seeing the likes of sega, konami, namco to name putting out their great titles for the PS3, x-box and not for the wii.

nintendo needs to come out in public or to their fans, hold their hands up and say, 'yes, we blew it with regards to the wii's 3rd party support'.

having seen the screenshots, it looks very impressive and i like the fact you have different types of cars. not just one.

can't wait for the game itself, hope it turns out great.

@aaronsullivan As far as sales go... Zelda and Metroid are aimed at people looking for longer deeper game experiences and the Wii has alienated a great deal of those people. Nintendo already knows this. This is why on some level Nintendo is acknowledging the need to win the dedicated gamers back with the Wii U. >>

and that is exactly why third party support has to be strong for the wii U. the vast majority of people who bought a wii were either fans of nintendo franchises or those who wanted to play dance games. if you wanted to play fighting games or any other genre, you'd probably go for a PS3, x-box.

the fact that just dance, zumba fitness have sold more copies than a game like zelda: skyward sword is an indication as to why the Wii U has to offer the different types of gaming experiences one has had with the gamecube, super nintendo.

happy 20th birthday kirby!

@misswliu81 i thought just to emphasise that he is or was new.

@Eureka yes, that was the last major 'new' character he created. and good one miyamoto!

@BenAV there was a dance, dance revolution: mario edition game released on the gamecube a couple of years ago.

@Haywired i agree with you

@DarkKirby re: What potential Street Fighter x Tekken could have had if not for Capcom desiring to make it the largest DLC goldmine ever made while spending the least amount of money and effort making it, instead of just focusing on making the game good. >> not to mention they could've put it on the 3DS, considering the huge sales of super streetfighter 4 3D.

@Savino haha!! same here!

but for me, fire emblem: awakening, paper mario, luigi's mansion 2 and F-zero would be nice as well.

brilliant news this!

@ChosenOne25 that's a good point there.

this sounds like a good step in the right direction for nintendo.

@XCWarrior i guess for the tabloids it's easier for them to pick on nintendo as they've been in the business for a long time and everyone expects them to deliver every single time. and when they don't, they react by posting 'nintendo is doomed' related articles.

@Ulala i think beat and ulala would make a good team for the game, don't you think?

but yes, him and bayonetta too. omg, that would be brilliant!

Nintendo, as amazing as i think they are, i think that creatively they have to plug and promote more of their lesser known franchises such as F-zero, fire emblem, advance wars to name and make more new ones. they can't keep on churning out just mario titles.

E3 is not going to be an interesting affair, but it is one where what with the release of the wii U this year, Nintendo has to go all out and really push themselves harder than before as a developer, in addition to enticing third parties to put their games on the system.

but as long as they are still doing well in japan, which they are with the success of the 3DS, i won't be too worried about Nintendo.

@Shadowflash in that case, this game can only get more and more interesting !

@Bass_X0 that is true. yet i counted the number of characters in total and there appears to be more sega characters in this one, even though it is made by banpresto, who is a parent company of namco bandai.

the capcom characters i recognise but not the sega and namco ones here. frank west's inclusion is not that much of a surprise as he was in tatsunoko vs capcom and marvel vs capcom 3, so he was bound to be in this.

i still think they should've used slightly more recognisable characters- chun li, batsu of rival schools, bayonetta, ivy of soul calibur to name.

paper mario, and now paper samus.

@hydeks you're right about metroid, seeing as it has never been a big seller in japan and neither it is as popular as it is in the west. i am still hoping nintendo of america or europe do something on the day of or be it the month of its anniversary in august though.

good to see another quality title on the wii yet again, and this time its kirby.

love the little fella! though nintendo should have something planned for metroid this coming august as well.
