@Tornado: Nintendo is probably worried that the Casual fans might not pick up on the Wii U like they did the Wii, because they already have a Wii, and they are Casual, as their title of being "Casual" entails. If their is a boom in sales for the Wii U like there was for the Wii, say goodbye to Nintendo caring about the "Core" fans.
@SunnySnivy: Just because you hear the term HD, it doesn't mean the graphics are spectacular. You can have a New Super Mario Brothers Wii U in HD and it could look the same as the Wii version, only it's in 1080p HD. Much cleaner visuals and looks better on HD TVs, which is all the local Wal-Marts here sale.
Just because they are not working on a launch title for the Wii U doesn't mean DQX won't be released on the Wii U though does it? Or is there more to the story than what is mentioned above. I see nothing in the body of this news article on Nintendo Life saying "Square Enix is Not Considering Dragon Quest X for Wii U"
I don't know who comes up with the tag lines, but seriously? Reggie said last Monday they would announce what the online was going to be like later last week, yet they are still saving that for a later time. I hope it is as good as 360/PS3, but I HIGHLY doubt it.
@TrevorTheChan: I see what you mean with the building on something that's already there, but in my opinion they have dug their self into a hole with the Wii. It sold boat loads, but will the "casuals" that bought the Wii think they got enough out of it to buy a Wii U, which sounds like the same system with a update of some kind. Will the "hardcore" xbox/ps3 fanboys go back to another Wii. Nintendo is being too vague about it. The Nintendo higher ups are acting more pompous year after year.
If they are trying to get the "hardcore" back into Nintendo systems, they should have eliminated the the term "Wii". Oh well, I'm definitely waiting a year or two, if at all, to buy one of these though.
400 yen wouldnt seem bad for a GBA game no, but that's 400 yen for a old school game boy game and 800 yen for a GBC. That's kind of crazy. How much do Virtual Console games cost in yen?

Re: Heroes of Ruin Offers Over 80,000 Weapons to Loot
Looks and sounds good. Too bad it's an "early 2012" game.
Re: Pachter to Operation Rainfaill: "I Agree"
That's why Pachter is the shiz.
Re: NOA: "Never Say Never," But No Plans to Bring Sought-After Wii Games to NA
@MasterGraveheart: I wasn't going to get a Wii U anyways. It's going to be the Wii all over, which isn't a good thing.
Re: NOA: "Never Say Never," But No Plans to Bring Sought-After Wii Games to NA
Dear Nintendo,
One less Wii U buyer here.
Peace out.

Re: Cave Story 3D Hit with Another Delay
No way!
Re: RE Mercenaries 3D Save Data Will Not Die
Glad to hear Gamestop isn't going to make 75% profit off of this game used.
Re: Wii RPG Outrage Floods Official Nintendo Facebook

Great game.

Thanks Nintendo!
Re: Nintendo has no Desire to be Number One in Online Gaming
The Wii had a browser. Online wasn't very important there.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd June 2011 (North America)
Thanks for the awesome games, Nintendo download service.

Re: Sony: Wii U is No Threat, Says "Welcome to 2006, Nintendo"
If you're wanting page hits and flame wars you should post a Featured News item titled "Nintendo Sucks" with a subheader "Sony is better"
Re: Fils-Aime: "3DS Didn't Launch Prematurely"
Why would the North American Nintendo President bad mouth a system they are currently trying to sale? He knows the truth.
Re: Remember, the Nintendo Download is On Thursdays Now
If the press release's came out on Monday's they would sooner or later end up not releasing the games in the press release.
Re: Sony: Wii U is No Threat, Says "Welcome to 2006, Nintendo"
@turtlelink #8 you were right
Re: This GameStop Really, Really Loves Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
If it wasn't Gamestop that would be cool.
Re: Miyamoto: Virtual Boy Games on 3DS Could Happen
Ah, how many good games were on the Virtual Boy? I thought there were like 2. I could live without them.
Re: Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters
Will this be reviewed on this site?
Re: Four Swords Freebie is the Game Boy Advance Version
Hopefully it has online. I don't know anyone locally with a dsi or 3DS
Re: Wii U and Its Controller Near Their Final Form Factor
@Hardy83: Darksiders 2 release date for xbox 360 is Q2 and that's supposed to be a launch title for Wii U if that says anything.
Re: Nintendo Taking "Massive Leap" with Wii U's Online Set-Up
I don't know who comes up with the tag lines, but seriously? Reggie said last Monday they would announce what the online was going to be like later last week, yet they are still saving that for a later time. I hope it is as good as 360/PS3, but I HIGHLY doubt it.
Re: Wii U Touch Screen is Resistive, Not Capacitive
In a video interview with another site Reggie said it wasn't multitouch.

Re: This is the Wii U Controller in All Its Glory
@StarDust: Wii controllers are compatible with the Wii U.
Re: Review: Excitebike (3DSWare)
I suck at this game as well and I don't want to put the time in to it to get better, I don't think it's very fun.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th June 2011 (North America)
@golephish: Shantae is already out.
Re: Sony President Thinks 3DS is Just an Updated DS
@LosAngeloTip: You always know the perfect words for situations like this.

Re: Here's Japan's 3DS eShop Launch Day Line-Up
Over Priced. **ClapClap - ClapClapClap**
Re: DS Lite Drops to $99 in US, Mario DS Games Go Red
Pointless in changing the color of the box if they aren't dropping the price of games.
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Have Made the 3DS Download-only?
When the world ends there will be three things left standing. Cockroaches, Cher and video game cartridges.
Re: First Green Lantern 3DS Trailer Rings Up
wtf is a 6ch6ris6
Re: Max & the Magic Marker Relaunching on Wii and DS
I had fun with it, but I bought it in a steam bundle and I think I paid like a dollar for it.
Re: Online Play Not Showing Up on the Radar of Star Fox 64 3D
The game is good, but it's short. It would be nice if they would add something to it.
Re: Steel Diver Sinks Without Trace at UK Retail
There was no point in not having this as a launch title in Europe too. More questionable Nintendo decisions.
Re: Nintendo Drops Wii to $149.99 and Launches Budget Games
Wonder why NA didn't get Strikers or Smooth Moves.

WiiWare developers pulling out all the cards they have up their sleeves in 2011!

Token Girl beat me to it.
Re: Review: Conduit 2 (Wii)
I'm sorry Wii only FPS fans.
Re: Talking Point: StreetPass - Is Silent Communication the Future?
If it were a cell phone it would work better. Not many people pack their pricey handheld around.
Re: Another Zelda Remake for 3DS?
Bring it on.
Re: Review: Mega Man X (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
Deserves a 10
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th April 2011 (North America)
Nintendo still thinking it's good to keep a release like Mega Man X secret is mind boggling.

Re: Talking Point: What You Want in a New Nintendo Home Console
You can't capture lightning in a bottle, as they say. If it has Mario I'll be happy though
Re: Rumour: Wii 2 has Blu-ray Drive, Controller Contains a Screen
Can't wait to see how a side scrolling Mario game looks in HD.
