New IPs exculsives, more experienmental games like they did back on the gamecube, one of my favorite consoles. I never wanted a successor to the Wii which was a major step back from the gamecube but great for buisness, I wanted the gamecube back with no stuiped gimmick attach, base on how I feel. I hate the gamepad, I hate the 3d on the 3ds. Its not innovation if its barely use. I want new and better ecperience with games. Chanllenging games such as Donkey Kong and the original Mario games, no more easy games such as most modern mario games, but that could be argue base on game skills so ignore that comment ^^; I want new IPs such as Pikmin or Dillon's Rolling Western, I want Nintendo to realise I along with most of the community have grown as for the new generation of kids are more maturer these days. I wNt Nintendo to stop being the 4kids of gaming and get with the time. 


You want to play Mario Kart and Smash, and you like games like Pikmin and Dillon's Rolling Western, and you think Nintendo is being too kiddy? Don't get me wrong, I loved the Gamecube and I'd love to see a greater variety of content to appeal to different levels of seriousness in tone (more games like Eternal Darkness please!) and stuff like that, I'm just...not following the logic in your examples.^^;

You might want to try some of the NSMB games, I hear serious gamers complain that they have trouble with them. New Super Luigi is brutal by any standards, it's basically the equivilent of Lost Levels to the original Super Mario Bros. I tried 3D World with some friends and while the first world was easy things quickly got really tricky really fast, and soon we got game over, and we're all raised on the NES/SNES era. Since you already have the Wii U, you might want to invest in a Pro Controller, it works with most games you'd expect it to and would simplify to just the essentials, no gimmicks. I think games that utilize the pad will come later (I'm betting with Zelda U), but Pro Controller is still nice to have. Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze looks to be a return to form. I saw some footage of the minecart levels and they look brutal.

As for new IPs, particularly challenging ones, try Wonderful 101. It'll kick your ass until you really get the hang of it. Seriously overlooked game, and it's a shame, because I agree that challenge in games is hard to come by and this game was a rare treat, I don't want the poor sales to discourage that kind of game design. Also in new IP news, Miyamoto said last July he was working on a new IP. It's speculated to be an adventure game. About a year ago, Miyamoto was complaining that developers weren't making their Wii U games very distinctive, so we can only hope that whatever this is, it'll use Wii U to it's full potential. He's been working on it for over a year now, so we can at least expect it to be announced at E3, but it might get announced in April at a Japanese gaming con that Nintendo is sponsoring, Nico Nico Chokaigi.  Aside from those two...well ZombiU is new, and it's like $20-30 now in most places. W101 is usually about $30.
