This place needs to liven up!

First off lets look at this sexy mustache



2nd off has anybody seen the new info on Persona Q?  Looks great.  Cant wait for that game.

3rd thing, what do you guys think about the mysterious new ip from myamoto?  While im at it what do you all think retro is working on?

You know my opinion on the sexy moustache <3 <3

Persona Q looks great, yeah. Big fan of P4G so the more I see from that series the better!

Also I'm unsure about the mystery IP from Miyamoto, but I'd like to see Retro working on a new Metroid Prime title! We can hope...

P4G <3  One of the best story games ive every played.  I tried P3 lately, didnt like it near as much but still a good game.  Cant wait to try PQ.  And then P5, though i wish it would have been for Vita or PS4 -_-

Very curious to see the new ip myself.  Ive found that im getting a little tired of a lot of nintendo's franchises so im thrilled that theyre bringing in something new.  Also bring Kid icarus to WIiU.  Uprising was brillian, 2nd fav 3ds game behind pokemon of course.

Ehh, im one of those people that actually hopes it isnt metroid.  i know, dont kill me Nintendomination lol  I actually want a new ip from retro.  Theyre an awesome studio and id like to see what they can do with their own ip's.

The demos not as good as the full game, and it does takes several playthroughs (of the demo) to really get what's going on.

If none of the other games on the offer grab you I heartedly recommend giving the full game a shot.

Hoping it isn't Metroid? What kind of monster are you?!

In fairness I can see where you're coming from. The Prime trilogy is all nicely wrapped up and finished and as much as I'd like to see more of the same from them, a new IP (announced at E3 maybe?) would be great to see!

A solid 9 out of 10 for the Direct as it appears on YouTube, but did I cringe when I saw what they'd done to it on the Wii U eshop here in the UK... :(

They got rid of the guy eating DK cereal and they've added some plum-in-mouth BBC-English voiceover that just kills the whole feel of it. I was so appalled I couldn't watch it. The only saving grace I suppose is that anyone who buys the MK8 bundle over here won't see it until after they've bought the system...

The monster under your bed :P

But yeah theyre so talented but theyve really lived off other's success.  Its like 343i.  I like that theyre making Halo but id also like to see what theyr talent could do by working on a new ip, if that makes any sense.

Oh, I have some plans for E3 which I'll be sharing shortly, but it boils down to a prediction league, and also turning this thread into "the" Nintendo E3 thread as well. So that means I'll be setting aside the OP to exclusively put up news , previews and more from E3, for your convenience.

There's more as well, but you'll have to wait a little to see that
