I really wish they would update the 1-on-1 offline battle mode to take advantage of the new maps.

Even if I don't use it all too often, I think it would be an easy fix which would make the game appear more well-rounded.

@xMetrusx I know. I think I very slightly prefer hot-dogs, but something tells me that team marshmallows stands a better chance of winning.

I don't know. I don't really like roasting either at campfires.
...but something makes me think that most people will think of smores and side with marshmallows.

Noooooooo!

The first day since the game's launch that I go on vacation and can't play the game, they announce a new splatfest (which I also won't be able to compete in).

Oh well, at least I got to try out Moray Towers . . . and go team Waterslides!

If people want simple controls and simple game-play mechanics, then maybe mobile is the platform for them.

I remember the days when people actually needed to read their instruction manuals before booting up their new game.

I could really see myself wearing this one.

Just in case you want to have a look for yourselves, I did some poking around and found squid kid also uploaded the game's file directory.

I'm still waiting for Nintendo to make these new maps and weapons available in the 1v1 battles.

Pardon my ignorance, but i don't recall finding any such artwork of a female link in Hyrule Historia.

(I do own the book, its just not in front of me ATM)

At least Nintendo got it all sorted out.

...now to place that pre-order.

@ThomasBW84 I couldn't have said it better myself. Portability is an important factor when it comes to raising public awareness of a new product, growing the street-pass community, and just serving as a portable console in general.

That said, it looks like my new micro SD card might be spending quite a bit of time alone in its package. Sigh.

@ThomasBW84 You may also want to add that Target is also offering Just Dance 2015 on Wii/Wii U for $24.99, and both include a Wii Remote +

Ugh, can't we just go back to reading/writing saved data to game controllers (like how you could use Wii remotes to store Miis/Brawl controller mappings), and then scanning AR cards for games which simply read data (like KI:Uprising)?

@Olmectron That's exactly what I was thinking!

I respect Reggie for the poutine reference.

...now all he needs to acquire are a taste for butter tarts and Canadian Bacon!

The A/V ports on the box really make it work.

I think it looks great, but I would prefer matching button colors, full-sized SD support, and the power button not being on the system's exterior (I can just imagine accidentally pressing it when its in my pocket).

I'm also not in favor of the gap caused by the touch screen's bezel when the device it closed.

Otherwise, I'm all for it!

Personally, I feel that its rather simple...

If you don't like (Fukushima) peaches, don't buy them!

There, was that so hard.

Its okay. What we saw of Splatoon was actually a very well-developed prototype. Splatoon is still heavily under development, and it (sort-of) makes sense that they would want to focus on awarding games which release this year.

Anyone else still have a code they would be willing to offer me?

I wouldn't mind a code (that is, if there are any left).

Nooo!

Must.. Keep.. the Triforce.. United!

Really, there's no need for any of this point-at-the-TV-and-shoot nonsense, MKTV has it covered. ... whatever, as long as it works for them.

Ugg, I'm soo jealous!!!

Believe it or not, I've been brushing up on my web application and Unity skills lately.

... or, you know you could just buy the downloadable versions of your games and use Nintendo's save data migration app (cart to download). From there, you can just backup your SD card to your PC.

I agree, the character design seems to be pretty good, but the voice acting, ... well ... time will tell.

Hmm, I wonder if this will also enable GameCube controller support when playing games in Wii mode.

@Moorpheel
My thoughts exactly!
With an update like this, I might seriously consider transferring my Wii library.

Previously, I was on the fence between Wind Waker HD and Pikmin 3. However, seeing as I have already played through the original Wind Waker, I'll probably go for this one.

The new control option sounds great, but like many others, I would appreciate an option for lefties. . . . Oh well, if I could make it through Kid Icarus: Uprising, I can certainly handle Pikmin 3.

Sounds great! It kind of reminds me of MK Wii's online ranking system.

Personally, I am most looking forward to the Wii U edition.

I would have preferred that they both released at the same time (even if that meant that the 3DS version was delayed).

As it stands, I'll probably wind up getting both.

I already have Trajectile-(Great Game!!!),
so I'll probably get SMW this time.

@HugoSmits Way to go Hugo!

That's okay, I'd rather wait a little and have the game get the polish it deserves.

So I take it its similar to Warioware's 9-volt/18-volt stages, just more fleshed-out?

Nice! I'll have to pick up Link's Awakening DX.

"uou can read details of how the World Gallery is supposed to work right here."

Might want to fix that.

Perhaps this is their way of closing down the service to make room for newer features.

COME ON MIIVERSE UPDATE!!!

As long as it's just a costume change, I'm fine (like Wario in Brawl). Anything more than that just feels like they are bloating the roster!

Mine used to be kept under my Wii/Wii U, but after collecting dust for 1.5-2 years, it went back in its box.

So that's what Youtube in Japan is like.

Can't wait!

No, keep doing what you do best Aonuma. Solid, spaced titles are the way to go. Perhaps Mario could even learn a thing or too. I'd actually like to see Nintendo offer a better balance of franchises (eg. Kid Icarus, F-Zero, and Star Fox). . . and if that means less frequent Mario titles, than so be it.

**Thinks of The Wind Waker**

Honestly, I think I'd rather first have cloud-saves, a proper Club Nintendo game-linked account system; and the ability to buy games for mobile/console games from either eShop, mobile devices, or a computer, and then having them auto-download, so they'll be waiting for me when I want to play them.

Cross-Buy purchases would be great for consumers, but, more realistically, I can see this as being an option which would probably be left up to the developers.

I can't pick on then too much, it takes guts to have a photo-shoot dressed like that.

But Nintendo, really, surely you can do better.

Can't wait! (That's almost all of my mains)

Sounds interesting, I guess we'll have to see how this plays out!

Glad to hear this!

Yep, this is going to be a solid classic!

I for one am not the least bit worried.

Poking around, it looks like Nintendo is advertising like crazy for Network Software Engineers (eg. for the eShop & Miiverse) on job sites such as www.monster.com.

If this is the case, I think its safe to say Nintendo has heard our pleas, and it's less a matter of "if?", but more a matter of "when?".
