No love for F-Zero.

What's up with Art Academy, Nintendo?

@Captain_Gonru I just think it's less likely now that there's something already announced for Friday. North America could get a presentation this week, sure.

Hmm... I'm guessing that there will be no Nintendo Direct this week for North America then.

If only we got the Wii download of DKCR, this week would have been perfect. I'm not complaining though.

Mario 64 needs a legit remake. 1080 Snowboarding is pretty overrated. Wave Race 64 would be a much better choice.

I hope that they don't sell the amiibo cards in booster packs. Buying random cards would be awful.

I'm interested to see if the development of Xenoblade X has influenced the development of Zelda U. Both games have open worlds, gamepad navigation, and online components. Monolith Soft has helped develop previous Zelda games as well.

In every interview, Sakurai talks about how difficult it is to develop a Smash game. "It takes over a year to create a character." "I work nights and weekends to get it done." There are already a ton of characters, and I think the game is great right now.

I wish Nintendo would make a show based on a different franchise like Animal Crossing, Star Fox, Pikmin or Kid Icarus.

Funny how US gets the game later even though it's being developed in Minnesota.

Mario 64 3D please.

Hopefully we continue to get at least two virtual console games each week (NES, SNES, GBA, or Wii). I'm disappointed in no Wii game this week but not surprised.

I would like to see Nintendo's plan for entering the Chinese market.

Lol, yeah, I read about that. I don't own a Gamecube or F Zero GX game so I was just having wishful thinking. It sounds like unlocking F Zero AX from the disc is not too hard.

If possible, I'd like to see Nintendo port many arcade titles to the Wii U: F Zero AX, Mario Kart GP 1+2, Pokken Tournament, Donkey Kong Jungle Fever,...

Can I just pick one of these games for my Elite reward in April?

Nintendo likes to advertise its newest upcoming games, so I don't expect Star Fox details for a while. The next Nintendo Direct is probably around early March to hype people for Codename Steam and Mario Party 10.

Can Nintendo buy Sega now?

Miyamoto has hinted that a new 3D Mario game will be the launch title for the 3DS successor. I'm sure that Nintendo is preparing for the next generation and wants to start off strong.

I want to see the 3DS successor at E3 2016!

I'm not entirely convinced about Splatoon yet. I hope there is a lot of weapon variety and game modes because I might get bored quickly.

My two amiibos are collecting dust right now. I'm a patient person, so I will wait for a sandbox game that uses them more extensively.

No official title? I hope this releases in NA in 2015, but I find it crazy how so many Nintendo reveals have no official title.

So is this like a weekly release thing? I want Mario Galaxy 1, Skyward Sword, and Wii Sports Resort.

Ugh, I just bought the Mario Galaxies for my collection. Oh well, I much prefer digital anyway. I hope to use the gamepad for metroid prime trilogy.

Nintendo is making a lot of hardware right now: the budget console for China, the QoL sleep monitor, and of course the 3DS Successor. Nintendo should stay with portables.

Whatever happened to that new budget console releasing exclusively for China in 2015? Nintendo definitely has a shot against Microsoft and Sony in the Chinese market and hopefully has a solid lineup of games for the console.

All I know is that I want to see Nintendo's next gen handheld at E3 2016.

My hope: It has a single foldable, capacitive touch screen with pressure sensitive stylus similar to the surface pro.

I guess we'll find out the truth tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to Codename Steam, but Intelligent Systems HAS to be working on another game for next year. I'm in agreement that they should port Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn to the 3DS.

Think we'll get a release of Binding Blade?

What is the easiest method to unlock special moves in Smash Wii U? I'm curious if using the amiibo gift feature is the best way. I'm not a fan of Smash Tour.

@LtAldoRaine

I'm pretty sure we're getting DS games before N64 games. DS games will be new to the service and Nintendo can still charge full price. If N64 games came out, many people would only pay like $2 just to upgrade from Wii mode. DS games also take advantage of the gamepad.

I'm sure that Mewtwo will be a timed exclusive for Club Nintendo registrants. But either way, you don't need both consoles to get Mewtwo, all you need to do is track down and register a Club Nintendo code for both versions.

I love the GBA love, but I'm still waiting for Fire Emblem GBA and Zero Mission.

Amazon lists the 3rd wave of amiibos for February 28!!

@Dave24
Lol. When I'm online, I always choose the new courses over the retro ones. But, cmon, if a new DLC course shows up, why wouldn't you pick it? Especially on release day. I was surprised not to see a complete barrage of Link characters too.

I went online for a couple of rounds, and there were people choosing non-DLC tracks. -.- I love the new tracks, and the game still runs very smoothly.

It took me 10 hours to download it.

Shulk is my main right now in Smash 3DS, so yes I want to buy the amiibo. I don't want to go in store so I guess I will order it online. I hope it works with the new Xenoblade X game, Nintendo is really trying to push the franchise.

Ugh, why does Lucario need a stand?!? Otherwise, these figures look great.

Eiji Aonuma has been VERY busy these past few years in his desire to rethink the conventions of Zelda and get back to basics. Since 2011, Aonuma has directed/supervised Wind Waker HD, Link Between Worlds, Hyrule Warriors, and Majora's Mask 3D. Revisiting previous titles in the series should definitely bring major changes to Zelda Wii U.

Nintendo is NOT going to announce the New 3DS! That would completely kill its holiday sales!

People are still asking for N64 VC... We already have those games on the Wii Shop.

Most of the participants in the poll probably had the game pre-ordered, so the poll isn't very accurate.

Sigh, I still think the Link amiibo is ugly. I wish they would remove the clear plastic stand and put his feet on the base.

I was expecting some sort of exclusive mode for the amiibo considering the fact that Smash Bros Wii U is the launch title for the figures. But I guess since almost every mode can be played with two players, the amiibo can be helpful in completing event challenges.

If Platinum Games wants to make a better profit on its games, it should develop Star Fox! At least 1 million units in sales.

I can't use my existing eShop balance to pay for a preorder. -_-
