Wait, wait...so, the holiday season is important?

It all feels like one giant preorder to me now.

They typically have a new IP on each system...Pikmin for GameCube and the Wii series on Wii (you may think what you like of them but they sold millions).

Generation has to do with time not specs... I do think this generation of developers, however, is increasingly unprofessional.

As long as Nintendo sticks to having a game feel complete without purchasing all the DLC, I'm all for it. Many of their franchises would benefit from it. Mario Kart will definitely benefit and I look forward to a MK entry that doesn't feel old after a month.

Yeah, this will help the violence and gaming debate.

I know their are risks involved in firing someone but I despise the guarded escort. It's so demeaning. As for rights, I'm not sure about Canada, but they should provide a justification for his termination.

NES games really need to be $1 at this point. $2 max. They're so dated they play like bad mobile games.

Their release schedule is pathetic. They should be bombarding us with titles when the system is going through such a drought. The 3ds took two years to just have 30 or so Game Boy games and far less GBC games. The support is really disheartening.

And who wants to bet those GBA ambassador games are the one's going up on the Wii U?

I loved the game on 3ds but I don't know if I want another run through . Can't we just get a sequel.

This is widely being reported as a "desperate move" by Nintendo to help their "flagging system. While, I don't think Nintendo is in complete panic mode, I'm fine with this choice. It may lead to more gamepad only games that were shown at e3 and then never spoken of again. However, I hope they still scrutinize games whit quality control because there is a lot of crap on phones.

3D Mario - November
Mario Kart - December
Did the same with the 3ds and it worked.

I don't understand why they bothered to send out a teaser about news a week ahead of time if it was something so small...kinda lame Capcom

And according to NOA's website, we are also getting Mega Man and Pac-Man tomorrow. . The one thing they could do to help ease the wait for titles is the Virtual Console. Why are they fumbling it?

And you could of made the 2 look like Wii squared

Wii 2... Twice the screens. Twice the fun....It would of been that easy.

If it comes to Wii U this will be the first GTA I buy since GTA III.

Good for him. It's nice to see in the comments other people who like 3D instead of bashing it. I don't think it is the selling point Nintendo hoped but I greatly enjoy it. It's like HD. You are playing the same game but it's that much better.

I'm pretty sure smooth moves was offered at forty day one as well. It is still one of my favorite Wii games...hopefully this is good but I haven't been impressed by the videos.

I, also, could not get into ecco the dolphin. Here's a tip: if you ever have a six figure goal, don't show it off on an ipad.

Wouldn't it be great if for say the first month of the Wii U VC there was a game every day...

I downloaded a couple out of curiosity. Kyoto - because my sister lives in Japan. Was a bit disappointed. You don't see much and the quality on the tv is kind of miserable. The London tour is decent, however.

Did NA not download as many VC titles on Wii? We weren't lagging in releases as much back then.

@aaronsullivan
The Wii VC launched with 20 games and added 3-5 a week. The cost is not that high and nintendo is completely capable of dedicating the resources if they so chose.

I'd hardly say the 3ds VC made significant strides. Hopefully, the release on Wii U will be faster but I think they may be slow to get people to buy games you don't really care about.
@WaveBoy....uh, there is no lag because of the gamepad or hd and the controls are now fully customizable.
However, I dont understand why the emulation has to be so exact that when multiple enemies appear on screen in kirby it slows down like I'm actually on a nes.

@0SP_ZELDAiii
You wrote it before I could. Completely agree. And Excitebike is always first and never exciting.

I watched the trailer. I love zelda but this film seems a bit overdramatic.

I have been a big supporter of Majora's Mask 3D but now I really hope it's not announced. Not only was the last zelda release a remake but now Wind Waker HD is coming. I need something new at this point.

That doll looks like Robin Williams

Why are they shutting down the website?

I'm interested but I never played the original version so I can't notice the improvement as much. I would need a comparison video....which I'm sure will happen

*knew and *they...typing on gamepad

I rented a blu-ray today and was asked if I kne it was a blu-ray and if I had a blu-ray player. This is the consumer base nintendo is dealing with , especially, if the want the casual audience of the Wii.

HarmoKnight seemed fun from the demo but $8 is kind of my limit on eshop titles.

I'm sure this will be great when you experience it first hand. Obviously, though, I'm a bit more interested in that virtual console update.

I never really understood the appeal of Ecco but if it has enough fans for this reboot that's cool.

I thought it was odd when Target didn't have any copies.

I think Nintendo held back a bit last year because of the 3DS.. They revealed a lot of games for the 3DS too early. We saw tons of footage of Kid Icarus far before we got to play it. Showing things incrementally seems better. Then again, fans won't be pleased without reveals at E3.

I've been waiting for a good game set in Chicago... Why GTA never did beats me.

I think 40 is fair...but it's not like I won't buy it.

I think the Wii U is off to a good start there too. If lifetime home console sales hover around the 10 mil mark and half a million have sold in the first few weeks that's not bad.

So, Nintendo's best selling home console had the lowest launch software scores and it's worst selling home console had the highest launch software scores.

I think it just has a psychological effect. No, I'm not going to play the demo more than 30 times. However, to suggest that I'm not going to buy a game I'm interested in because I can play the same 3 levels repeatedly is ridiculous. Being unnecessarily restricted makes one indignant. ---You can play 'M' rated games all you want and download them directly to your system...but only 4 hours a day.

What is up with demo limits?

So, really just the themes changed. The games are still there.

This game is fantastic. I hope it comes to NA eshop soon. We still don't even have Wario Land 2...

Part of what made the original Goldeneye fun is that you could be shot two dozen times grab some body armor and still win. Sometimes the good part of video games is that they don't have to be realistic.

I'm pretty sure TVii will go live in NA today. Could be wrong but it's what I thought as soon as I heard we were getting a Nintendo Direct.

I hope all of these people who are confused by looking at two screens don't drive cars. Sometimes you have to look through the windshield and check your mirrors. . Madness
