@Yorumi If talking about Mario Golf the DLC was released at same time as the game. If they make extra courses for Mario Kart later on like remaking retro courses of course that's cool but I'd rather they included that as unlockable content. Rather then making us dig deep & pay for all the extras.

@Marshi Haha I'm not a fan of DLC & don't want Nintendo to start releasing only half assed games then making us pay for the extra content. I'm not pleased with what they have done with Mario Golf 3DS that content should have been unlockable content.

I'm paying for the game so don't half ass the game Nintendo & only release 80% of it making me pay extra for the remaining 20%.

@DiscoGentleman
Or canceled

Count me in still need to get the first one

NinCONdo wow what a rip off for a game that already costs £30.00 & has limited appeal they has gone down the road of DLC I hope they don't start doing this for Wii U games. I miss the days of unlocking things rather then having to pay for the extra content.

Assassins Creed for Wii U please Ubi-Soft

Looked amazing never been a big Smash Bros. fan but this direct won me over. Annoyed the fact we never got a official release date. Can't see this game saving the Wii U now due to more people having a 3DS & would take a lot for them to buy a Wii U then buy Smash Bros. so doubt it will win many people over. This worries me though Mario Kart May for Wii U then what nothing until Christmas when maybe Smash Bros.?

Yet to play the first one it's on my list to get tho along with this.

Hopefully be a Nintendo Direct show casing the game. If they don't confirm a release date not much point in a direct. And just leaves us Wii U owners in the dark.

Watchdogs?

@HarryK
Nope just Google Wii U freezing it's all over the internet. The Wii U does have a problem it's not as bad as on launch but can still happen on the odd occasion.

@withoutdk
I only had AC 3 freeze twice in a 25 hour play time. But it is a issue with the Wii U on any game. Hopefully this update fixes the issue & Nintendo keep at it to finally sort out all the bugs within the Wii U.

Please release this on the Wii U Ubi-Soft & keep releasing Assassin's Creed games on the Wii U. I need them in my life & don't fancy buying a PS4 or Xbox One.

Cheaper to buy the original games & play them on the Gamecube Gameboy player. Seems silly to release them on the Wii U & not 3DS. Could have released Gamecube games on the Wii U but nope we get GBA.
Nintendo always seem to do the opposite to what makes sense or what the fans want.
They don't even have a system in place to keep the games safe onto a account if you loose your Wii U or something happens all VC games gone. Just seems so backwards Nintendo sort it out not only is the Wii U behind the PS4 & Xbox One massively sales wise. It also now has no 3rd party support ugh.

Ninja Gaiden (Wii U Virtual Console) for me
Might get F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition but unsure if it's any good? And can buy physical for £4.99 new on PS3.
Already got Mario Kart on SNES other wise I'd be all over that.

Be rather sad if we don't see the AC game coming to PS3 / 360 also come to Wii U. But I can understand why the PS4 / Xbox One game later on this year won't be coming to Wii U.

Has anyone else noticed how Ubi-Soft games don't hold value at all?
If Watchdogs does come to Wii U it will be £15.00 in the bargain bins within three months. It's happened with ever Ubi-Soft game that's been released on the Wii U.

How did I miss this news about a game coming out on the Wii U. Looks promising from the trailer might be worth picking up.

Brilliant article thanks for sharing this Nintendo Life.

Saves me some money, I kind of expected it to at least be a 7 but 5 makes this a no buy for me. Need something to feel the void until May 30th I've not turned my Wii U on since Feb when I finished Donkey Kong.

Never really played Chess but this looks interesting & a great way to learn.

The last picture is the only thing worth anything in this article not that I know who any of them are. I've never played Yoshi's Island on the SNES let alone going to get this on the 3DS. I'd rather play the SNES one first it's on my hit list but £30 for a cart on eBay UK

Own 13 games off that list

Still have the SNES cart of Mario Kart hopefully they will release Mario Kart 64 next month.

I have it pre-ordered with ShopTo at just under £40.00 so for a extra £20.00 I can get a T-Shirt, Blue Shell & Keyring not too bad a deal.
Anyone know what Nintendo UK Store is like for getting games to you on time or early for release date?

NEW Star fox or I'll RIOT!

Amazing game would recommend anyone with a Wii U to pick this up. Just today I picked up Darksiders the first one for my PS3 so playing the games backwards as already finished number 2 over a year ago now.

The more I see & hear about this game the more I want it.

His the worst character in Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze give me Diddy or Dixie over him any day!

Don't think I'd fit in it but want it

Really need to play Dragon Quest!

Donkey Kong won't set the world on fire with people snapping up the Wii U. It was meant to be out at Christmas & was clearly ready then Mario Kart 8 should be released now with Smash Bros. in May.

Terrible deal the Wii U has dropped as low as -

Wii U Premium pack with Nintendo Land £169.91 @ Currys Instore
Wii U 8GB Basic PC World / Currys Instore for £129.91

Here in the UK sad how quickly it's dropped in price since launch & how much I paid on launch.

I'd buy NES Remix if it came out on physical disc for around £20.00 as I'm yet to download them & not into downloading games.

Nothing else confirmed for the Wii U Watchdogs has no released date & has been delayed on Wii U could be canceled. No update on Project cars & Nintendo's last direct which is the prime topic on the comment section confirmed only Donkey Kong & Mario Kart on Wii U so it's not good at all.

Been the same since the Wii U came out lack of games coming out all year round. Poor 3rd party support & most 3rd party games I've found to be buggy or freeze on the Wii U not as bad as it was since most got patched but still a problem.

When I brought the Wii U in launch window I was happy with Mario U & ZombiU brought odds & ends of 3rd party games which not too bad then this drought happened. Everyone was like games are coming but not until Mario 3D in November anything groundbreaking came out on the Wii U.

Now the wait again until Donkey Kong I've played some 3rd party since I was done with Mario 3D by December I've put near 30 hours into it.
I'm guessing Donkey Kong will be a 10 or 20 hour game maybe bit longer if your die hard & collect everything. I plan on playing all day Friday & all weekend so I'll be done fast then I'm dead in the water with the Wii U until May when Mario Kart comes out which is pretty much June. I have a PS3 which I plan on getting Sniper Elite 3 for in March so that will feel a bit of the gap. I played Sniper Elite 2 on Wii U reason for wanting 3 but not released on Wii U & other consoles will get the full game unlike Sniper Elite 2 was on Wii U.

After Mario Kart which depends how good online is depends how long it will last me I'm unsure what I'll be playing next on the Wii U. Bayonetta I only want to play if they release the first game with it or DLC or something other wise I'll give it a miss. I'm not a Smash Bros fan so unless we get a Star Fox game this year or Hyrule Warriors comes out soon or a new Mario game or Gamecube games remade in HD I'm going to be a sad Wii U owner.

@Knux Very well said I agree 100%.

Waiting on the cart to turn up of this game plus the other NES Ninja Gaiden games.

Day one buy for me....
Roll on Donkey Kong then roll on Mario Kart for my Wii U

Download earlier only played a bit of it loads more to play

@rumple88
Only pumped for Donkey Kong & Mario Kart. I just wish Nintendo would give us Wii U owners a clear outline of what to expect.

I'm fed up with Nintendo currently we have two games confirmed for release this year. Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze then a 3 month gap for Mario Kart 8. Only three other games where mentioned again Smash Bros, X & Bayonetta 2 none have release dates just coming soon.
Nothing new has been confirmed Hyrule Warriors which was reveled last time just left out in the cold not even a coming soon. Along with Yarn Yoshi & Shin-Megami Tensei vs Fire Emblem both nothing said.
So where does this leave the Wii U just a whole load of coming soon 2014 / 2015 will we ever get a real virtual console or just one a week if where lucky will Gamecube games be released on Wii U will Metroid or Star Fox or Zelda ever come to Wii U still left with loads of questions & no answers very disappointed

morefun discount code also works but you still have £3.95 shipping on top of price.

We need release dates Nintendo of what to expect on the Wii U & 3DS over the course of 2014.

Just cancel it already it's clear it won't sell that great on the Wii U. As much as I'd like to see it I can see why Ubi-soft might be thinking twice about releasing it on the Wii U.

Sonic & gang have piled on the pounds, Looks interesting it a take on Sonic R from the Saturn or it a hole new platform 3D adventure game hmm....

@64supermario
As a Wii U & 3DS owner all this talk online of a new Nintendo console rumored the Fusion is unsettling. I'm not willing to buy another handheld or console after such a short run.

If Nintendo drop the Wii U & make a new console already I'm out!

Love Ninja Gaiden on Wii U
