Good to hear that WiiU will get the higher end version of Colonials/Aliens!!

I can understand that, but still... the game was announced for Wii U and 3DS and now he says Wii U and Wii 2. Even if it was just Wii he was talking about, why the "2"? And where is the 3DS reference?

The way he said it is what makes it strange: not only does he mention Wii 2 but doesn`t mention 3DS.

alrighty, I'm told I'm not giving the 3DS enough of a chance here, so sell me! (not that you have to, the half dozen games on my list is more than enough to keep me busy for a while) If the games are good, show me the goodness!

New Super Mario Bros 2 - Gonna be awesome, can't wait.
Animal Crossing - Jump Out - Didn't like the previous games, no goal, nothing of interest to do. Might as well be Facebook.
New Brain Age Game - Will be good, I'm sure.
Bravely Default - Flying Fairy - Looks pretty but weird and gimmicky. I can't see it having any depth.
Professor Layton - Mask Of Miracle - Professor Layton games are always good
Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney - JP
Rune Factory 4 - Niche, Brother will like it, I have never liked the series.
Harvest Moon - Same as Rune factory, as I'm pretty sure it's the same series.
Rhythm Thief - lolwat? this gets people excited? This is shovelware.
Epic Mickey - Power of Illusion - first epic Mickey sucks, series sucks until proven otherwise.
Luigi's Mansion 2 - Looks good to me
Monster Hunter 3G - already have it on PSP
Monster Hunter 4 - JP
Etrian Oddysey 4 - Interesting, but looks like a cheap version of an otherwise interesting and good game.
Theatherrhytmn Final Fantasy - No. just becuase it has the name Final Fantasy in it doesn't make it not shovelware.
Dragon Quest Monsters 3D Terry's Wonderland - Dragon Quest is alright, but the 'monsters' series is uninteresting
Paper Mario 3DS - 1000x yes. Do want
Fire Emblem - May want, unsure as of yet.
Project X-Zone - now THIS is something I could get behind, but it still looks like a cheap version of Street Fighter X Tekken, or Marvel vs Capcom, or any other sprite based crossover fighter.
Mario Tennis - It's a minigame, worthy as part of a compilation, not a full priced game. Eff that. Mario sports games are bleh and lacking in content, based on my experiences with it.
Heroes of Ruin - looks decent
Fantasy Life - soooo...a cheap version of harvest moon?
Pirate King - looks so cheap...so kiddie.
Inazuma Eleven Go Chrono - looks like shovelware to me
Shin Megami Tensei Soul Hackers - Persona, so it could be good, but I'll wait to play Persona 3 and 4 before deciding

See, a lot of this list here looks cheap, like shovelware. Very little looks genuinely engaging, original, or interesting. aside from some of the best stuff, it all looks like cheap versions of otherwise good games that ignorant parents would pick up by accident instead of the stuff their kid actually wants. I mean, I have no problem with kids games (Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Ratchet and Clank, LittlebitPlanet, Kirby, etc), but there's a difference between "fun for all ages" kids games, and "immature cheap bullplop" kids games. Mario is fun for all ages, Fantasy Life looks like it could hardly interest an 8 year old.

This is why I say these games are lame, very little looks interesting. Wii had the same issues, so did the DS, so much crap surrounding the few gems.

Goddamn I sound like a fanboy, but really I just have standards. Now that I've seen videos, anyone care to explain WHY these games are supposedly good?

Rhythm Theif looks awesome. Like the Space Channel series.

Bravely Default has just been announced, wait for more information. It's an RPG by Square-Enix so I expect it to be good.

Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney has confirmed to come out of Japan.

Epic Mickey on the 3DS is not the same as the Wii version or the sequel. It's based off of an old genesis mickey game that was well liked. I love platformers, so I can't wait to see what else is in store.

Monster Hunter 3G is a differnet game from Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. Looks better too.

Theatrhythm has pretty much all of the great Final Fantasy music into a rhythm game. Out of what I've seen the gameplay has three different types from battle, field, and event. It's for the fans.

Project X Zone is a spiritual successor to Namco X Capcom, an old PS2 strategy-RPG game. I heard it was quite good and now it has more characters because Sega is getting into the mix.

Heroes of Ruin is basically Daiblo(sorry if spelled wrong). It's jam-packed with features(local and online multiplayer with voice chat. And the devs will be sending out missions every day for a year. That's a hell of a lot of content. I'm hyped because I never played this type of game before and all of my friends are going to buy this as well, so I'll have lots to do.

We don't know the full details on Fantasy Life yet, but it's made by Level 5.

Pirate King's gameplay hasn't been revealed yet. It's made by Keiji Inafune(yes, the same person making Soul Sacrifice), so we expect it to be good. Already confirmed to come over.

Inazuma Eleven series never really appealed to others outside of Japan, so we don't expect a localization.

Plus, E3 is just around the corner.

Mega Rumor! Retro might be working on a Star Fox and Metroid collaboration! Take this with a major grain of salt!

"Star Fox & Metroid: Fusion Saga"

■Some folk at Retro Studios wanted to develop a new ip that involved 3rd person sci-fi action with intense aerial combat.
■Others apparently were leaning towards taking the Star Fox helm.
■Nintendo sees Retro Studios as a very competent developer and worked with them in creating the hybrid title of Star Fox – Metroid: Fusion Saga.
■The title has multiple gameplay mechanics and needed a wide staff of talent to incorporate the many ideas.
■The story begins as you control Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team on deep space mission in your Arwing, flying through a Meteos-like stage. As you enter a light speed warp, there’s a collision with an orange ship (Samus’) and the game continues with you now plummeting to a planet as Samus in her craft. You’re in mild control of her ship, using the Wii U controller to look around and touch screen press the lit up buttons to prepare for impact (while the TV stays locked on what you see out of the cockpit). You’re now on land, as a “yet again” stripped down Samus Aran with the most basic of weapon abilities, in first person perspective, traversing through this unknown planet.
■The game switches off between intense Arwing space and planetary battles as Fox makes his way to the planet that Samus crashed on and a Metroid Prime-like experience of gameplay as Samus on this planet, gradually uncovering its mysteries, leveling up, etc.
■The Star Fox stages represent what the series is best known for, including the chatter and coming to the aid of the rest of your team, all range mode battles, and on rails stages.
■The Metroid part of the game puts you alone, void of human or any talking character contact, and like the Prime series, sees you gaining upgrades, battling bosses, and in this case, repairing your ship.
■The game is said to be epic in size, scope, ambition.
■The pacing has been perfected to not interrupt what the feeling is behind either franchise, since Star Fox is more often known for being acceptable to have short sessions with and Metroid rather the opposite. You can opt to continue playing either just Samus’ part or Fox’s part without crossing over for much of the main game (or play it as it’s scripted back and forth), but will eventually have to complete both, as the characters will ultimately meet up.
■There will be later parts in the game where you do get to control Samus’ ship and fly it Star Fox style.
■Likewise, Fox McCloud will be controllable by foot (both the above and this bullet point represent a period in the game after the two sides meet up) and be played via 3rd person perspective. Think of Jet Force Gemini with Fox’s known agility as he’s portrayed to having in the Smash Bros. series. (Fox will move more like Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden and less like he did in Star Fox Adventures).
■Though a tentative title, the idea behind the story of “Fusion Saga” is both a play on the fact that the two series are fusing together into one game and of course, a storyline behind Andross using Metroids to enhance himself, his army, etc.
■Star Fox – Metroid: Fusion Saga is wholly a satisfying adventure game as Samus, an equally electrifying aerial combat game as Fox, and something that delivers an exciting, special change that fans will love.
■In consideration was the Star Fox portion having 4 player co-op online, but instead the game will have leaderboards for time and percent complete for all parts of the game and multiplayer will be simply versus mode based.

To be truthful, I don't believe this one bit, but the site is the same one who leaked Donkey Kong Country Returns and Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale. Thoughts?

now THIS looks like a lot of fun!  this is a game I can and will get behind if it's real.

that is seriously messed up and yet I can see an executive type pulling their weight behind it as it would make financial sense as well as appeal to the so called "playstation crowd".

Something like this: "We have a few core franchises LOVED by gamers but they don't rake in the big bucks! What shall we do??"

Reggie: "Combine them! It worked for Smash Brothers!" 

Hell, they might as well throw some F-Zero into the mix and call it a day!

I really think this is just bs.Metroid is far too serious of a series to really work with suich cutesy charcters.
