I could kind of understand the rise in traditional IPs because of the loss, but the fact that I am not excited at all about NSMB2 speaks volumes. Nintendo needs to make sure they not only don't overplay Mario & friends, but focus on new IPs or reviving lesser known ones and promoting them like they have with Kid Icarus. Seriously, when is the last time we have seen any sort of effort in advertising with Nintendo before Uprising? Hopefully they will keep their approach they used with Uprising and promote other titles they have in the bank. They also need to not take too much spotlight from third-party games though, they NEED Big 3rd-party titles this time around.

YESH!!! This is one of my favorite games of all-time, it's so good! This is going to be a launch day buy for me if they release a sequel.

For me:
Xenoblade Chronicles
Zelda Ocarina (Wii VC)

I'm see a lot of people are playing Xenoblade and Skyward Sword.

Just one of the three big things Nintendo needs to work on for the Wii U, Lots of power for the system, third party support, and Online in general. Like may things with online with Nintendo, needs major work. It doesn't bother me personally that much, but I too want a change. At the same time, Beamdog's comments really were overly harsh, and pretty unprofessional. If the Wii U becomes a big success with a great online system that fixes all the problems, they are going to look pretty foolish. In the end though, Nintendo has a lot to improve with the Wii U coming, but if they succeed in solving these problems they just might be rewarded.

Meh, I have been realizing a lot of Mario games as of late. I think they should cool it down a little just to come up with innovative ideas like Galaxy. At the same time, Mario makes money and it's really good. You also have to realize that all series have some elements that are used over and over again because that what makes the game (Zelda, Pokemon, Castlevania, etc.). Yet anyone can take a break from a series if they feel like it. Pokemon is my favorite series but I haven't played it in forever because I haven't had time to play video games till recently and I wanted to play other stuff, since I was playing with only a few breaks with Pokemon since I first really got into gaming with Emerald back in 2005, in elementary school. If they make too many Marios I will simply limit myself. I still want Mario to succeed though, so I hope they take a small break.

Super Mario World & Super Mario Galaxy hands down. Super Mario World had an awesome overworld map, great level design, lots of levels, a few really simple but cool power ups, etc. Super Mario Galaxy was innovative and really a game that was truly magical, have all 241 stars in that game. To me, Galaxy is a lot better than 64, I mean a lot, and speaking 64 was a historical game and a masterpiece, that says a lot. I have not played SMG2 or Sunshine so I am leaving those out.

Arguably the greatest console of all time. I never got to own one, I was born in 1995. I do play SNES games on the Wii VC though, and they are amazing. Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World (I played the GBA port as a kid), Link to the Past, Super Castlevania IV, the list goes on and on. This is the pinnacle of gaming, and the fact that new generations still play these SNES games show its timeless. Never has there been one system with so many legendary experiences. It may not stay at the top forever, but it hasn't been beaten yet after 20 years.

@SuperLink Yes, I noticed that
@XCWarrior Couldn't say it better

I don't have much to say, I just want to point out that Nintendo is unique. These investors don't understand that Nintendo is a company that works on it's own systems, it's own terms. This is one of the things that makes it great. It can do what it wants, how it wants. Nintendo is far from perfect, but they are the very best. Nintendo needs to keep on doing what they do best, making good games without any barriers. I hope Nintendo gets a better online presence, but I am willing trade in a good online system for great single player experiences or local multiplayer.

I love the graphics for the game. It looks fun, I don't know when I am going to get it though.

They released it too early, they have no games for it, and they don't advertise enough. Of course it looks bad now, though the DS didn't have a stellar start and looked how that turned out. I got a 3DS for the Ambassador program only, I do not plan to mess with it too much. I still want to play some DS games. When I come back Nintendo, I expect the 3DS to have games.

No, just no. I want Nintendo to put their effort into their consoles, not develop little 5 second games for smartphones. They have a 3DS to work with.

Devil Survivor is the only one I care about, I can get CaveStory on Wiiware or DSiware. I wonder why nobody has heard of Devil Survivor.

I don't see why any guy would feel less of a "man" because they are playing a girl. I generally don't like how the concept of "masculinity" is portrayed a lot of the time. Also, I like girls but that second picture freaks me out. 0.o

I have way more DS games than Wii games, though my Wi has a bunch of VC games. I am definitively going to buy some more DS games since prices for a lot of the games are lower. Let's see, ..., I have 14 DS games, 7 of which have pokemon in the name. I only have 5 Wii retail games, though I hope to buy more sometime. VC has been taking up most of my Wii time. I own 16 VC games, I plan on buying more, probably a lot more.

@MickeyMac Well maybe it is just me but Mario is pretty simple. I mean, obviously you have to get good at like ANY game, but Mario is pretty simple in my eyes. Not trying to start a debate but I don't see how Mario is complicated.

I really hope your being sarcastic MickeyMac.

2D gaming will always be a staple of games in general. The fact that many games still use 2D graphics when 3D is fully available is evidence of that. I love 2D gaming, it's why I love buying SNES VC games.

@11 So basically if it doesn't have a wide exploration element it sucks. That is just ridiculous. That means Super Mario Galaxy is a bad game, which is a bunch of hogwash. I just don't see how you can say that seriously. There is more than one way to do things.

Wow, something that actually makes me want to go to LA. Come to Orlando please, we will give you complimentary cookies on arrival.

I hope they don't abuse this feature like Capcom does. _

I would buy the Game Boy Color version for nostalgia, it was one of the first two games I got along with Super Mario Advance 2: I want THAT Pac-Man.
