@Alshain01 fair enough - it was hinted that A Link to the Past is coming to Wii U VC before the end of the year (there was some VC launch trailer that had it in it) - you could always hop into Wii mode - there are lots of Zelda games there - not what you want to hear I know ...

@Alshain01 They did put 2 Zelda games on VC a few months ago - but that said I really want A Link to the Past on 3DS or Wii U (Both please?)

@gaby_gabito thanks - I just finished the story mode of Injustice last night. 5 hours and 20 minutes to get through something I bought several months ago - I guess I can only handle so much of a fighting game at a time - really enjoyed it though!

I'm picking up the Street Fighter 2 "Bundle" - I like to support Nintendo when they do the launch discounts for VC titles. I've never played any Street Fighter games before and am anxious to see what the hype is about - I hear SF2 is a classic.

Thanks yea - don't buy much from GameStop, but using my membership for that and Xenoblade has more than paid for it.

I only wish W101 was out already so I could use GUST and get that game for cheap ...

@EJtheK Mine arrives on Monday - for $65 shipped - I'm quite happy to get this collection that I thought I wouldn't be able to afford.

I'll report back to see if it does come with the steel case or not.

@welsh_gamer There is a free Street Fighter game if you buy 2 of em - that is a nice discount for fans of that series

@Swiket Got mine for $64.99 at GameStop Online - promo codes are your friend

@WiiUExposed Xenoblade came like new - I'm hoping this comes the same way. I've heard GameStop has a policy of including the original manual with every used game they sell online - ordered it for $65 from GameStop - will be here next week and will report back

Use promo code GUST15 and have paid membership to GameStop - new total AFTER shipping is $64.99 - very reasonable for a game that goes for $100 on eBay

Surprised too - thanks for taking a look at this one

Pikmin 2 (finished Pikmin 3 may play some more of that too), Mario and Luigi Dream Team, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Earthbound and Diddy Kong Racing on the N64

@ljb88 September at least in USA

@Captain_Gonru Get the 30 cent version on the Wii U

IGN did give this game a 9.2 - seems like it might be worth my time sooner rather than later ...

@gatorboi352 Pikmin 3 is all I need this month for Wii U - Mario and Luigi Dream Team is sucking up tons of my playtime as is Animal Crossing New Leaf still.

If Dream Team didn't come out I would be more inclined to pick this up. Dream Team is so much fun and a huge 40 hour game.

Will pick up Splinter Cell in 2014 when we have a less killer release schedule - too many great games and only so much money - it will be good to not spend another $60 this week especially when I picked up Xenoblade for $68 - nothing for me this week

I'd love to have a boxed up Ocarina of Time one - I just got my first LE one in from Japan - the Year of Luigi 3DS was something I couldn't miss - and it is a wonderful looking box and system.

Also: Wonderful 101 DEMO now in North America eShop!!!!

@Sparkyboy6 It's YouTube.com/TCHATEN - I do lots of movie reviews, video game footage of interest, daily news, GoPro footage during hikes, etc. - hope you check it out - coming up on 300,000 views ...

@Rafie Looking to pick up Elgato fairly soon. I think it would be a lot of fun to do a game night over Google Hangouts.

I enjoy it for releasing on my YouTube channel - for little 2-3 minute clips of unique things etc.

@SkywardCrowbar Ah gotcha

@SkywardCrowbar the demo was the special announcement

Once again Europe gets something NOA doesn't. This year has been crazy. Why is Europe getting their releases weeks before NOA - no demo - that is just cruel and unusual

Elgato Game Capture HD - pretty sure that is the gold standard ... or is there something else better to get ...

@rjejr there is a huge difference in connecting to other players over Wi-Fi and having no latency TV in your hand setup while also sending commands to your Wii U. I'm glad they made it work only amazingly well or not at all.

Just my 2 cents

@rjejr Home Wi-Fi is not reliable enough to do what the GamePad is doing. It would be a mess if they tried to do it that way. A side benefit is that it works when your Wi-Fi is down or you are traveling - after initial setup it is rock solid

@bahooney It is close range for a reason - for no lag experience it must not have any interference - the GamePad's no lag was praised because it was said it couldn't be done.

I live in a studio and have no issues with range.

Isn't Art Academy coming out on August 9th? Why is it absent from this list?

(Getting Dream Team digitally using discount codes from the Wii U Digital Promo!)

@michaeldove never mentioned anything being free except being able to view others creations on Miiverse for free

@michaeldove Nintendo Direct - can't wait to see Miiverse drawings from this!

@Darknyht Personally I think the 3DS and portables in general are more suitable for this type of game - can't imagine not having my town with me on business trips and vacations.

That said it'd be cool to see what they come up with for the Wii U

With this service ending late 2014 I'd imagine they will try to transition these plaza folks to a new Animal Crossing game for Wii U - coming out late 2014/early 2015? ...

@XCWarrior it is a cool football game with charming graphics - nothing like the old games of running that arc play and scoring a touch down from the 10 yard line

@nomeacuerdo I'm fine with the Wii VC titles in rewards - will be able to take advantage of the $1 upgrade charge, which I'm fine with.

I think the VC library needs to be bigger to have rewards. I own most of the VC titles for the Wii U already ...

Nintendo Life folks did you know Nintendo has you quoted on the Mario Golf page!!!

https://club.nintendo.com/rewards-details/a/39504.do

Nintendo Life says: Mario Golf provides a solid golfing experience with a stellar presentation.

Congrats!

Wow!!! NES Play Action Football!!

Have really fond memories of this as a kid - played a bunch of it - wonder if it holds up at all ...

@sleepinglion Just do a Google search on what states don't have sales tax - I live in New Hampshire and that is a tax free state for sales tax and income tax so that is one of em - makes buying stuff really nice

Stopped by Target at 8 AM and picked up my copy. Had to ask an employee to get them out of the back room. He came out with my copy and 5 extras - hopefully they will actually put them on the shelf! Played 4 days worth this is an epically awesome game!

Love this cross game promotion in Animal Crossing - makes Animal Crossing the center of the Nintendo universe - could be used to bridge caps to nearly every Nintendo franchise ...

Beautiful limited editions! - USA?

Don't get the notion of spoilers - games are experiential - it's not a huge spoiler to say where you can find the end credits in Animal Crossing New Leaf or that expensive bugs come out at night etc.

WHEN IS THE TURBO REVIEW COMING?

@Yorumi Yea I believe there are around 50-80 Wii U games currently available - many are ports and some shovelware, but there are a great deal of quality titles to keep you entertained while the winter lineup comes.

I never played the originals to these ports so they are brand new games to me and have had no issues with lack of games for Wii U - as there are plenty that are great.

@BATRA the first year of any console is the slowest - you have a huge spike for launch window and after that it takes time for the game library to come or bundles/price drops to get more mass appeal.

That is why I'm curious how sales go this winter and into next year with this huge amount of quality games coming to Wii U exclusively.

Also - will PS4 and X1 have a similar lack of titles their first year?

Yea iOS gaming is a bit of a mess - no depth to the games and the in-app purchases create gimped games that aren't fun.

Perhaps these new "Made for iPad/iPhone" Game Controllers that are Apple sanctioned will change some of that, but I think even having a real controller still won't fix the core problem of that marketplace for gaming.

It couldn't be an eShop promo code could it?

Pikmin 3 I'll be getting on disc, will pick up both Cloudberry Kingdom and Harvest Moon - never played the original
