That Just Dance game needs to be cancelled. It would work wonders as a launch title for the Wii U! That would pull a lot of casual gamers attention to the new console and make them warrant buying one. I can understand Nintendo sending out the small shipments, it is a new product and I doubt they will want to waste.


I bet you that it sells really well.  Why would they want to cancel that?

No doubt it'll sell well! It would just help convert the casuals better to the Wii U.

I don't think that would help much. They need a new 'Just Dance 4' for that and not a 'Best Of' Compilation.

I wonder if nintendo will include a wiimote with the Wii U :/

That's a good question but I don't think they will. They are most likely going to include the Wii U Tab-Controller and they would most likely be expensive enough for them. Would be nice though. 


If they keep the price high then I would imagine that they would. That controller really cannot cost much to produce anymore. Also I have seen it for ten bucks and for 15-20 with some games. That tablet is the real mystery. Will it be HD? Will it be powerful? How much will it cost? Cheap tablets can sell for 8-120 dollars. So even if they take a small loss on the tablets bundled with the Wii U it still would have to cost them around 50-100 dollars to make if it has a decent amount of power. Of course, since they are allowing more than one tablet per screen now they could sell them seperately at a profit.

 

Amp is right, they will have another Just Dance game when the Wii U comes out. The Wii needs some more games this year, so it is good to come out for the Wii.

I really hope Nintendo doesn'tgive the controller the 3D and HD treatment. It would up the price, even if by a little, it would still be bad. The Wii U is looking to be a pretty expensive console. I hipe Nintendo won't be stupid and make the price over $349.99. The Wii U controller (as of E3 2011) doesn't seem too hard to make or ship, it needs to stay that way. (IMO.)

True, at least the "Best of" Compiliation  would be something. It would still sell like hotcakes over the Holiday, though.

What?!? You were able to jump on top of that black thing? That method seems way easier.

C'mon.  You didn't know this?

:P

What is the english name of that boss? I was going to say The Sleeper (El Durmiente in spanish), but I guess it might be something else.

I believe you are talking about "The Imprisoned".

The funny thing is that jump on top of it was the first thing that I tried.

I was really surprised when I read on the internet, after finish the game, that you could hit its nails.

Nintendo President Says Old Game Revivals Not Coming.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has taken to Twitter to address the previous rumor that Nintendo is working with third-party developers to encourage them to revive old franchises for the Nintendo 3DS. Iwata said that the report from respected Japanese paper The Nikkei that was published earlier this week was just gossip, and there was no truth to the rumour.

I just visited the Official site of Bravely Default (here). I was so impressed by the quality of that game and I'm so curious about what one of the trailers say (the one with the devolopers talking presumably about final fantasy history) that I'm very very tempted to do a thread about it!

But I still don't have 50 posts to make it...

 

The song of the gallery section is just fantastic.  And I heard, it'going to have Jobs as a gameplay mechanic

I repeat, this game looks like the real Final Fantasy VII to me :)

I do not believe it. I am sure some games are coming, but it is just normal stuff. They are not pushing for developers to make them, but there probably is a few coming anyways.

Box art....... (something was here.)

Yes ^_^

They may, I just don't think they want to take the chance of it failing.

GameStop offering Xenoblade Chronicles artbook with pre-order

 

Wow, the link cats are great! And the last cat.... yeah, it's disturbing, but it really does ressemble the character.

 

If gamestop offers an artbook with the preorder, I might have to preorder this game instead of buying it eventually after it comes out... Anyone knows if the preorder bonus will also be available in Canada?
