I wanted Luigi over Animal Crossing and Paper Mario.


I just got Tetrisphere 64, Bass Hunter 64, and finally picked up Pilot Wings 64 for half its normal price.

They sure wanted everyone to know the N64 was 64 bit!

Well at least it wasn't on the console (besides the name), like on the Atari Jaguar .

I'm with you all the way! I'd say the chance of WiiU not getting any ports from 3rd parties is VERY small this time around. Exclusive 3rd party titles are rare nowadays (compared to how it used to be), and that's because - just like you said - it costs so much to develop a game now. So logically WiiU should get the same treatment as PS720 - but who knows right now??

I kinda want Sony to announce their next gen console during Gamescom in 15 min, so we know how the competition will be for WiiU ^^


In terms of support we will have a better idea even before Wii U comes out. The next Nintendo Direct might be the starting moment to build hype for the console and where all the NDAs end! One can hope! :D

That reveal would surprise pretty much everyone! :D

Yeah, I hope they announce something more during Nintendo Direct! I wanna know what's coming 6 months from now! When is the next Direct?



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I wish i knew. My guess is late August or early September.
From that Nintendo Direct to the launch of the console, i think Nintendo will reveal what`s to come in the post-launch months. There`s that rumoured Retro game that wsa pulled off the E3 presentation.

hehe yeah, I'm really looking forward to whatever Retro's working on! Just as long as it isn't a FPS!! I'd imagine they'll have a Direct this fall (perhaps two) and then they'll have one in January/February covering what's to come during the next 6 months.

I kinda think that it will be a FPS! It would be great for Wii U if it had it`s own Halo and nothing better than have Retro develop one. They alread did a great work with Metroid.

A new Nintendo Direct in December would pretty sweet! A Christmas gift with great announcements! :)

Now, remind me how much the games sold? I haven't played them, but every body keeps telling me how good they are - so they must be! But they didn't sell "Halo-much" - and remember that it'll be going up against CoD and Battlefield as well. FPS from Retro is not what WiiU needs imho - it need CoD and Battlefield. What Retro oughta be working on is some form of action adventure! :D

They didn`t sell a lot but they are really good games. Of course, none of them are a FPS. They are First Person Adventures, where the focus is more on the adventure and story than on real shooting.
Wii U will have BO 2 and BF 4, that`s almost garanteed but the problem is, those can be bought on every platform. What will Wii U have for itself? Shooters like Halo make people buy a Xbox console. Shooters are probably the most played games online.
If Nintendo wants to attract that market, nothing like a "Halo" to not only attract shooter fans but to make it`s online platform relevant.

I have decided to buy all three rainfall titles this christmas. But the main one I want is Pandora's Tower.

We'll know when you get your hands on Xenoblade because the number of spurge posts will drop to only triple the average poster.

About Xander Davis words:

I can't/won't comment on WiiU's power compared to PS360 because we have had that discussion a lot of times and until we know the the specs of the console it's useless.

But if someone who works designing UIs says that he has been "lucky" because he hasn't worked with a console that changes the way we interact with games and UIs... well, anything he says loses any credibility.
