I hope that the end bit of this interview has made at least a few of the more vocal people who whined about this being exclusive to Wii U feel properly bad about how they acted.

As Kamiya said, Nintendo swooped in and saved the day for our favorite Umbran Witch.
Kamiya took the deal for the sake of the fans, believing that they'd be happy that the sequel was going to live on.
Instead, he got a huge amount of flak for it.
How is that fair to him, his team, OR Nintendo?
Hint: it wasn't.
Those screaming anti-Nintendo fan jerks should be ashamed of themselves.

Why am I not surprised that Mol chose the realistic-looking Zelda?
Don't get me wrong, I loved the game almost as much as the next Zelda fan[I felt that many of the areas were too pointlessly huge with not enough to do during traveling through them], but there are so many other Zelda games that, IMO, have a better art style...

Platinum would only gain from becoming a second party studio to Nintendo at this point.
Kamiya wants it, and he'd be great for a Star Fox title or Metroid title.
Plus, the chances of a Vanquish sequel....drool

Triforcing.
Good lord almighty, that was well played.XD

@ZeroxGT Zero vs Link.........HNNNNNNNNG!

All female?
Aww, guess I can't expect to see any hilarious hijinks between guys and girls.....
Oh well, hope it sells.

@russellohh I might as well learn how to make a neutron bomb using only my teeth, for all the success I'd have.XD

@russellohh Is it only in Japan? I'd get it if it came to the states....

An interesting concept. I might give it a buy if the price is right....

@Hyperstar96 Part of the "skill" in Pokemon is knowing and taking the right steps when raising your teams. The fact that it just so happens to be a massive time sink at the same time is irrelevant, really.

@Madmanonfire I call Green Sonic!XD

It all makes sense now.
Well, seeing as how the Wii U is kinda lacking in Adventure titles right now, I'll pick it up if it hits the system.

If the same numbers come out for the state-side release, it might become a case of Xenoblade Chronicles all over again.XD

@Hunter-D
Now THAT, is an awesome gif.......saves

@SuperKMx SNES edition of Aladdin had better platforming, it just lacked a sword, so I say remake the SNES version.

I hear the special editions won't be offered to Wii U owners, so if that's an indication that we won't get all the DLC, then that sucks royal balls.

"Temporary evolutions", eh?
Digimon has competition?XD JK
I'm okay with this.

I can see some complaining about this making the game "too easy", but it might be fun to blow through things like a God after beating it once.XD

@Raghav
That's what she said~~~

Duck Tails and Dream Team for me.^_^

He says there's more content here than in Bayonetta......
Now, is he talking about the Wii U sequel, or the first game on the PS360?
I'm hoping he doesn't mean Bayonetta 2.....

Rail shooters aren't as popular a genre as they once were, so I don't expect this to sell well.
The one that did best recently was Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, and that was because it had a few unique aspects to it.
Well, that and Kid Icarus, but I digress; this just feels too plain. I doubt it'll get any attention.

It's a shame that this feature is useless to me.

My art skills aren't so much a Van Gogh as they are a Van Stop.^^;;

@19Robb92 Agreed. I love the fact that a highly-respected AAA third party is saying something like this.

Maybe they'll give new Smash details and some actual release months for some of the big titles we already know about.
That'd make the Direct a success in my book.

IMO, he's giving tablet gaming too much credit.
The 3DS is basically a money-printer; there's no way tablets are going to threaten it in any substantial way this coming year.

Can't wait to see the sales numbers after a couple of weeks in the states.....
I hope they'll be as good as I think they'll be.
A quarter of a million would make me happy.

Can't wait till gamestop opens later so I can grab my copy.

@Aviator Not really, considering without it he likely wouldn't have even have a general sense of what it's like to take the wheel of a vehicle.

The models felt too squared off, especially around the chins. It was like watching some sort of badly-done version of generic Disney characters.XD

The black beasts, however, looked pretty awesome......

@MadAussieBloke Depends on whether or not they can do it better than Dead Island...

I wasn't sold on Lords of Shadow.
I owned the game but gladly traded it in soon after beating it.
If I wanted God of War, I'd have played God of War; I expect more than that out of my Castlevania titles.
An emphasis on exploration, platforming, and item collection is what sold me on the series in the first place, and replacing the majority of that with just deeper combat doesn't feel like a positive trade-off, so I'll likely be saving my money for the next Metroid-vania style entry in the acclaimed series.

@iMii Ratings, aside from EC, are a poor way to judge a game's merits, though....

@Big_Gamer It's not making use of any outside influences. Everything done is possible in-game. Hence, an exploit, not a cheat.
If this were a multiplayer game and he were using it to gain an advantage over other human players, it would be too close to being cheating to be allowed, but as that isn't the case....

I'll try them both out.
I just hope they release sooner rather than later.

@GiftedGimp Or maybe the code entry screen is already in the game, and we just don't know how to access it yet.....there is precedence for such a thing....

oooooo, a secret.....I wonder what the reward is for using the code......

@Nintenjoe64 He lists a lot of right numbers but for a lot of wrong reasons.

You know, those are pretty impressive numbers for a system that doesn't have its most heavy-hitting titles released yet....

"It's a marathon, not a sprint."
Indeed.
raises glass as I continue to think fondly of Xenoblade Chronicles and Brawl

If they find a way of allowing us to do mind control for fighting games, it's going to be a huge deal......
Imagine a game that reacts as fast as you think as you fight each other......

Oh!
WAIT!
No, BETTER!

I know this reference might not make the most sense to everyone, but if you've ever read the Manga called Yureka......

LOST SAGA!

Four captains would have been overkill, so I'm glad they stuck with 3.
I hope they decide to extend the story via DLC at some point, though; I want more of this game to love, and I'll gladly pay to extend the experience.^_^

What did I watch, and why am I so confused?XD

Wait, so, Activision Blizzard is still responsible for Black Ops II, right?
Does this mean that, now that they are free of their parent company, they might change their policies a bit and start doing things better?
Like, I dunno, bringing ELITE AND DLC to the Wii U version of Black Ops II??

I'm sad about my copy of BOII not getting any DLC, but I'll pick up Ghosts day on, on the slim chance that they'll actually give the game full support.

Does the cross platform thing work for the Wii U version as well?

@ricklongo
I dunno about you, but I feel that Monolith Soft is slowly starting to take up the mantle that Square had back when it was just Square Soft.
Xenoblade Chronicles was incredible, and the upcoming X is looking fantastic.
It's bringing back sweet, fond memories of my time playing games like Secret of Mana and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
I'm very happy Nintendo officially acquired them as a first-party studio...

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Indies are the future of third-party gaming.
There's so much incredible talent just OOZING out of that side of the industry lately.

@ThomasBW84
I get the feeling you guys got a lot of positive things to say...XD

A shame I don't live in the UK.
I wish Nintendo would do more state-side events like this.
Especially in Southern California...
