Advance Wars & Fire Emblem were both new in the west, and Nintendo got 3rd party support. I missed FF on consoles and loved playing SNES classics remade on the GBA. 3DS is getting some N64 remakes, which is nice, but where is the 3rd party support?

RPG's are just what I like, and the question is what do I think. Overall though 3DS is meh, where are the Mario remakes? Zelda and Starfox Nintendo has covered, but what about 3rd party games?

Plus, things like the remade maps in Mario Kart 8, they are terrible, nothing at all like the classics, not like what the DS/Wii/GCN had.

You're contradicting yourself everywhere. "Where are the remakes" Seriously? You want new stuff and you're complaining about a lack of remakes? And the third party is there, you're just ignoring it. Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Kingdom Hearts, Street Fighter, Sonic, Lego games, Youkai Watch will eventually make it over, Harvest Moon, Tales of games, Rayman, Cooking Mama, Skylanders, Shin Megami Tensei, the first Nintendo Persona game ever in Persona Q, Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy, Super Monkey Ball, Rune Factory, Phoenix Wright, Samurai Warriors, Project X Zone, Metal Gear, Etrian Odyssey, Splinter Cell, Dragon Quest will probably eventually make it over, Disney Infinity, Tekken, Castlevania, Code of Princess, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, Rhythm Thief, Pacman, a ton of anime games about half of which made it over, and plenty of the usual shovelware like Angry Birds, superhero movie games, Disney movie games, obligatory sports games ports, and more. And that's not everything, since I mostly listed by series, not by title, and there are multiple entries of many of those series, and then there are probably some things I'm missing. Hometown Story, there's another. Probably missing some more. Pretty sure Epic Mickey got a port or a sister title or something. Also, this is just retail games. There's also shit tons of indie games that are digital only.

So you like RPGs and tactical RPGs? You've got Pokemon X/Y, Pokemon OR/AS, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Monster Hunter Tri, Monster Hunter 4 on the way, Yokai Watch definitely coming, Dragon Quest almost certainly coming, Paper Mario, Kingdom Hearts, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Bravely Default, another Bravely Default coming at some point, Tales of the Abyss, Fantasy Life, Shin Megami Tensei IV, Rune Factory 4, Persona Q, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, SMT Devil Survivor Overclocked, Etrian Odyssey: Millenium Girl, more Etrian Odyssey games on eShop and more being made, Heroes of Ruin, Conception II, Xenoblade Chronicles coming for New 3DS, Final Fantasy Explorers will probably make it over, Codename S.T.E.A.M. is coming, and there's a bunch of RPGs on the eShop as well.

As for MK8 remade courses, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about because I fucking love them. The fact that they're different is the best part! For someone that wants new stuff, you sure do like to say you want remakes and the same things as before pretty often.

Handheld systems need remakes, and while Zelda is nice for 3DS, it's not enough. Yes there is Pokemon as well, but no more then before.

As for original 3DS games vs GBA, it's still a lot less. Remember GBA had massive games like Earthbound (all 3 if you import and patch), Final Fantasy main series, Dragon Quest, Tactics Ogre, Breath of Fire, Metroid, 3x Donkey Kong remakes, 2x Golden Sun, 3x Fire Emblem, 2x Advance Wars, plus a ton of smaller games like Shining Force, Onimusha, Phantasy Star remakes, Sword of Mana and other Square enix remakes, 3x F-Zero, 4+ Mario remakes, etc.

As for 3rd party, WiiU has less then what SNES had and probably less then N64/GCN as well. Plus of lot of it is meh, like Disney Infinity. Gamecube had True Crime, where is Saints Row or GTA for WiiU?

Dragon Quest for 3DS almost certainly coming? VII never localized, how can you say that. Plus most of the games you mentioned are already out (never said 3DS was a bad system), what does 3DS have that's coming?

For MK, we disagree, and I think Wii/DS were runaway success's for a reason. Plus no true Battle mode.... MK8 is still better then Wii though, don't know why you choose to swear at me here.

You don't have to agree with me, and I don't need to argue my point. WiiU has 3 main games releasing IMO, Zelda, XenoBlade, and Starfox. They all look great, but Nintendo needs to do more then more of the same to save itself. There is nothing original IMO, not like Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube, or Wii Sports and the originalo XenoBlade for Wii, or even just the Mario Party and Smash Bros spinoffs like on N64. WiiU has nothing destinct, just the same as before, but with 4 player co-op (which is why I own a WiiU).
