According to pezus' prediction, it's going to be destroyed by PS3, not PS4.

Basically they've ruined their E3 show ^^

Some good announcements, though most of them were expected to come out soon anyway.


Also mark my words. If the new Mario Kart doesn't come with any hardware peripheral (even if it's just plastic) it will do MUCH worse than MK Wii (even if the WiiU gets a 100m userbase). The plastic wheel was the big reason why it was pirated much less in certain regions.

So it will only sell 15 million?

No they haven't. They only announced these, but the actual unveiling of these respective games will be megaton.

In the last thread I made, people were saying that Nintendo was foolish not to make announcements early on. Now we're saying that they ruined their future unveiling.

You guys have got to make up your minds :P



Nah the E3 show is still safe, they knew to hold off on Super Mario EAD Tokyo, Super Smash Bros. U, Mario Kart U, and probably even Bayonetta 2 for E3.

I think you will see Retro's game at E3 as well.

I'm going to call a surprise too, something like Super Mario x Dragon Quest RPG for Wii U. Makes sense with Iwata saying they want more collaborations like that, even though they are riding Mario pretty hard at the moment.

honestly  looking at sales, i don't think any of them will really save the wiiu, look at the wii sales now, it just launched with mario and its selling like crap so soon after launch, what makes you think these othere mario games will  sell systems when it not working now, the othere games you mentioned should give the wii u a good boost in japan by about 300,000 units but that about it.

New Super Mario bros and Casual efforts are fatigued initiatives. They are not to be counted on for another 3 to 5 years mark my words.


so the game that sold over 20 million units, all of sudden people don't care for it.

After 3 are released in the span of 3 years, plus 3D land which kind of has the same tone as New Super Mario Bros., I'd expect people to get a little tired of spending 40 to 60$ for a casual game like that.



people were expecting Zelda WW in HD, Fire emblem X something and that xenoblade game and Yoshi?


I think it was a great ND!

people always want more though



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

its for both casual and core, or maybe people are just tired of mario.

ON THE WII.

It remains to be seen how they'll sell on the WiiU.  The GameCube had plenty of Mario and Zelda.  We all know how that worked out.

I think it's safe to assume that Mario Kart will sell very well on the U. The only thing that makes me doubt that is the U's pricepoint, but I'm pretty sure that will go down in time for MK's release.

Nintendo Direct! No one ever expected Mario, Mario Kart, and Zelda games would be in the works! BUT THEY ARE!

These games came out of nowhere!! No one ever expected them, I mean a Mario Kart for Wii U? Oh snap!
