Lately there have been a lot of negative Nintendo threads with little to no effort put into them and that bums me out. So I decided to make a thread with effort put into it that can lead to interesting discussions. And above all: be useful. Feel free to discuss what games you expect or want to see on the Wii U and 3DS!
