You're saying you don't want a rehash of an old one yet you want a 3DS version of Skyward? Isn't that….?
Anywho. We've known for about a year or so now that they're making a 3DS Zelda game. But that's it. I'd imagine we'll see both a 3DS and a Wii U Zelda at E3 next year.
Skyward Sword is hardly old, it's the last one that came out. But the possibility of a 3ds game still includes it being simply majora's mask. As for the skyward sword, well I despise the wii nunchuck so I wouldn't mind it as a game I can play more traditionally. I would actually settle for that.

But having skyward sword on the 3ds is still a rehash of a previous game. And anyway nintendo clearly stated they don't plan on releasing a remake of majora's mask until after they've released a brand new zelda 3ds game so that possibility is like 1%.
So yeah I didn't pre order but i just got my Wii U from Gamestop because of the wait list. Setting it up now.
edit: How long does the update take?

Oh well black-leg that changes things, I would love a new Zelda. Is it true that Smash Bros 3ds might take a while to come out because the mastermind behind it was busy developing Kid Icarus at the time?

Yep. Development for Smash bros 3ds only started last april after kid icarus was released world wide and he's making two versions at once (wii u and 3ds). Considering that sakurai's development time can be between 3-5 years i wouldn't be expectingit any time soon.

Yeah, the wii u and 3ds smash bros were announced before development even started because sakurai was working on Uprising. They have to have Namco Bandai staff help develop the game because it would otherwise take too long to get a team together. That said, Sakurai apparently wants them out by next year, so I'd expect holiday 2013-2014 for the release date

Did he say that? I heard he wanted a playable demo by next year but not the full game. I say 2014 summer at the earliest. I'd love to be wrong though
I kinda wanted to get kid Icarus but my aim is appalling so wouldn't do well in a schmup, I had imagined the game as a more traditional action adventure. Mind you I lost my ds case the other day which had my Apollo justice, edgeworth investigations, and importantly my street fighter 4, oot and doa dimensions. So im gonna have to start from scratch with my 3ds games. So if the price goes down I might get kid Icarus uprising after all.
I would. It's easily the best game on the 3ds atm. And that sucks man.

Think I heard it was about 5GBs. And you better not turn off/unplug the console during the update or it will be useless.

well my remote died during the update.. but my console still works well..even if it did get turned off by accident :)
when will WiiUTV and the Youtube channels be done and also.
Is it worth having VC games on the WiiU..or are they Wii only?
EDIT: YAY! more games and Miis beside nintendo have finally shown up in the plaza..most are for NSMB and nintendo land
Think I heard it was about 5GBs. And you better not turn off/unplug the console during the update or it will be useless.
No worries I already saw about that I made sure it stayed on. But sheesh it took a long time.

I love how the Wii system transfer is conducted with the little Pikmin carrying the data

I doubt the next smash bros will take as long, they had said the groundwork was already done by sometime in september (its quoted somewhere i cant remember where though). And with namco bandai helping with development, the team behind it is much larger than the previous games to accommodate the scale of both versions. Id say 2014 is the right time for it at the latest.
And another console zelda game is even further off id say, we just got skyward sword and as others have said they are probably knee deep in the 3DS game right now so the wiiu version is still probably going through early planning among other things. Im fine with them taking their time on that one, id rather see other franchises get some much needed updates in the meantime, because i like the feeling new zelda games give me after the long break between them, its like getting back together with an old friend. Oh and I sure hope the 3DS zelda gives us a different art style, because frankly i am so tired of the handheld games being saddled with nothing but Wind Wakers art design.
–----
I think the biggest loss when I lost my case was oot, especially since I got it with my Zelda 3ds. Ihave played a few games I just traded them in when I was done. I immensely enjoyed Mario 3d land, but when I was finished I was finished. I still haven't got the Mario bros one. I was considering lego batman 2 but I think that would look more amazing on my xbox 360. Plus I am still interested in dloading classic games from the virtual console and if possible I would love more games on the virtual console like vvvvvv. That game warmed my heart.

When i wrote that i had forgotten about namco helping them. Still think 2014 though or maybe christmas next year if we're lucky. As for zelda i think i read somewhere a while back that they wern't gonna use the wind waker style for the 3ds version because ocarina is evidence that the 3ds can handle the more realistic style

Well thats good then, because a change of direction for the handheld titles is much needed.

Kid Icarus is easily one of the best games of the year for me. Full to the brim with content and replayability, good story, fun gameplay, beautiful graphics, memorable music … frankly, I think it's one of the most underrated games out there. And yes, there's currently nothing better on the 3DS.
The most fun I've had with my 3DS so far was Mario Kart 7
The most fun I've had with my 3DS so far was Mario Kart 7
Man, I wish I could say this. :( I loved the dickens out of the DS version, but this one's frustrated me the most. I think it's mostly because I'm trying to perfect it now and get 3 stars on every cup, and that's easier said than done, for sure.
The most time I put in before losing it was 70 hours on Street Fighter 4. As for the most fun I would say Doa: dimensions. I enjoyed the one piece unlimited cruise but not the grinding so I traded it in.
I made a big decision today and sold my 3DS for a crap ton of credit at my local gamestop. It actually wasn't that hard a decision when I realized I hadn't played it since January. With the credit I got for it and my games I was able to pay about all but $50 of my deluxe WiiU, so I am convinced it was a good trade.
Doing all the set up chiz now, then: ZombiU!
you guys realize that you can play the wii u while it does the big update yeah? When it tells you if you want to update click cancel, it will still download but in the background and when it's done you'll be prompted again. Say yeas and because it's been downloaded it should take no more than 10mins depending on your internet speed
just transfererred all my Wii data to WiiU..like the Pikmin in the transfer XD

What does it take to transfer from Wii to Wii U? I actually started getting myself sorted for Wii U by unplugging the Wii etc so might aswell get everything ready to transfer too
Oh hey, I do videos on figures and manga and stuff: https://www.youtube.com/thatmanhismerch
What does it take to transfer from Wii to Wii U? I actually started getting myself sorted for Wii U by unplugging the Wii etc so might aswell get everything ready to transfer too
1. step one put SD card into Wii and make sure transfer tool is downloaded on both Wii and Wii U (Wii mode) consoles and make sure on the Wii U that you are in Wii mode (can be downloaded at the Wii and Wii mode eShop)
2. On the Wii console start the Wii transfer tool and follow instructions and then watch Pikmin carry ur data.
3. Take SD card from Wii after you complete the transfer and insert it into Wii U (While in Wii mode) and start the Wii transfer tool on the Wii U Wii mode and follow the instructions it gives you and then watch Pikmin carry ur data again.
And then ur done it takes around 30 minutes to an hour (for me anyway)

You are all forgetting that this is Masashiro "Cannot release a game on time to save my life" Sakurai here.
There will be a trailer for e3 2013. In e3 2014, we'll get a release date of fall for that year. Then it will get delayed until early 2015.
And to think in 2015 Brawl will be seven years old… just like Melee. Doesn't seem so soon for a sequel, does it?

Is ZombiU any good?

Is ZombiU any good?
I'm loving it. But it's very specifically an extreme survival horror game, so if you're not into the genre it may not be your cup of tea.
It's also very difficult–near Dark Souls levels of difficulty, especially when you're trying to hunt down your old body.
I honestly don't get why there are so many negative reviews. I normally gel with most of Game Informer's stuff, but right now I don't get any of what he wrote.
Posting from my Wii U internet browser. It's a hugeeeee improvment over the Wii's and 3ds' browser. I got the Deluxe with Epic Mickey 2. The real problem with EM2 is that there are framerate issues and I don't see this within other versions of the game. Does anyone else have framerates issues with EM2 or any other third-party games?
Edit: Holy shit. You can videos from youtube while browsing on the internet. All of my yes.

Alright I'll get it then. I love Left for Dead so I'm sure I'll love this.
the youtube channel that debuted yesterday is the same as the PS3 ver.
but the fact is it's ok..but at times your video history sometimes clones itself due to viewing so sometimes you can end up with 3 videos of the same

So apparently UK and Europe aren't gonna get Scribblenauts till next year despite US getting it for launch. I'm assuming they're taking the time to add the letter U to all of those words.

I don't think it supports flash but most Youtube videos are HTML5 now anyway. I guess it's for copyright purposes.
http://mynintendonews.com/2012/11/23/r4-cartridges-are-now-blocked-in-japan/
R4 cartridges are now blocked in Japan
Alright, my rundown of Nintendoland is as follows:
Captain Falcon's Twister Race - what the heck. you steer with gyro controls, and navigate through basically an obstacle course. it's only one player, you aren't even racing against CPUs, and there's no sense of speed. lame.
Octopus Dance Dance Revolution - this is only related to Game & Watch on a tertiary level, but whatever. you use the sticks to move each arm (something I love whenever a game does it) and follow the simon-says rhythm. it works well, but seems like a glorified Mario Party game.
Donkey Kong's Rage-Inducing Roller Thing - piss and crap this game makes me angry. you tilt to roll a cart through this maze of things, and press shoulder buttons and stuff to manipulate the track. it controls very well, but I'm stuck on one part that I don't even know how I'm supposed to get past it because physics stopped working and the game began running on pure hatred and frustration.
Yoshi Cart go Round - draw a line to make the yoshi cart pick up fruit and get to the goal! only catch is, you can't see the fruit on the gamepad, so you have to guesstimate when you draw. this ends up being only marginally more fun than drawing lines on paper and giving yourself high-fives.
Takamaru's Ninja Castle - fun theme, you flick shurikens at ninjas, shooting-gallery-style. Would've liked it better if you just, you know, pointed and pressed A, but whatever. I'll get used to the flick controls. I really hope this means a new Takamaru game is in the works, because samurai ninja shenanigans from nintendo sounds like fun.
Balloon Bit.Trip.Beat - much better control than regular balloon fighter, you navigate through courses trying for the high score and such. I'd actually much rather have a vs mode, but I suppose it's fine. One of the better single-player games.
Pikmin Party Clash - man, this one is good. olimar could probably solo levels himself, but having friends play as independent pikmin is fun and makes it easier, if more chaotic. lots of levels, love the style, makes me want Pikmin 3 even more. 10/10 would buy full retail game
Zelda Arrows n Swords time - the controls for the bow confused me at first, but I got it. Again, other players running defense with swords makes it easier and more enjoyable. yarn styling is cute. haven't played much of it, hoping there are some neat bosses and level variety.
Mario Chasers - one player is mario and can see the whole screen, they run away from the toads who share split-screen. It's just a game of tag, and since everyone runs at the same speed it's harder to catch the runner than you'd think. I would have liked to see jumping implemented, tho. Feels like the most basic example of "asymmetric gameplay" they could think of.
Metroid Math Blaster - good asthetic, 3rd person metroid shooter. haven't played much, and not with a partner who's a decent shot so I can't say much, but I kinda like it. vs mode might be fun.
Animal Crossing Candy Hoarders - gamepad uses the sticks to control both guards, trying to catch the runners who are trying to eat all the candy. 1v1 puts stashes around that the single player is trying to move all the candy to, this works better than multiple players each trying to eat a bunch (and slowing down in the process)
Luigi's Spooky Haunt - fun times. haven't played with more than 1v1, where CPUs make it winnable for the ghostbuster. definite promise here.
a general tier list would be as follows:
1 Player Games
B: Zelda, Takamaru, Pikmin, Metroid
C: Balloon, DK
D: Octopus
F: Yoshi, C. Falcon
Multiplayer Games
A: Pikmin, Luigi, Zelda
B: Metroid, Mario
C: Animal Crossing
http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1687689/wii_u_has_a_horrible_slow_cpu_says_metro_last_light_dev.html
Jeez.
Yeah that's been known for a while now. At the same time Wii U won't be CPU heavy, mostly GPU. If games that were made on the PS360 are ported over of course developers are going to have a hard time with that one aspect. But when game are optimized for the Wii U there should be no issue at all. Nintendo created a machine that like all the others is balanced.
And remember it's Nintendo, everyone and their mothers love to hate on them. Nintendo used to be downright tyrannical with how they ran things in the NES and SNES day's and they are still paying for it today. Though Iwata has really gone out of his way to repair Yumachi's old relationships, Nintendo hate is just that infectious. There is no one that doesn't want to bad mouth them at every opportunity.
Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯ 
Wasn't it pointed out that Metro had an earlier development kit too?

It seems Nintendo is releasing a Wii Mini for $100, with no Internet, no ability to play Gamecube games, a top loading disc tray,and will possibly launch exclusively in Canada in December. Why they want to do this now I don't know.

Yeah with the Wii U out this will get barely any sales.
Steam Friend Code ---> 48796480
If it was set at £40-50 or so it wouldn't be so bad. A nice cheap console with an amazing backlog of games. But I think it's only to confuse the casuals. Reminds me of when they released the DS and then did the GBA Micro.
Edit: As a thank you to people getting so many coins in NSMB2 Nintendo have put up some nostalgic levels in Coin Rush up as free DLC. can't say fairer than that. Levels are based off SMB 1 and 3
yeah but the shop is down in the uk for maintenance atm. great. On better news fingers crossed i get my wii u tomorrow
Where did you order from? I paid for mine a few days ago from shopto and they aint shipped mine yet :/
oh no i was wrong. I thought it had but it's still processing. I was under the impression that they can't take money from you until it's been processed.
Shopto yeah? They said they were gonna process everything early so everyone's was up and there for release. I was hoping they would have dispatched today. But it seems it'll be tomorrow :/ At least I hope. Last time I ordered via their couriers was the 3DS XL. Which turned up at 6pm the friday night.
On the plus side I got plenty of points from them. Enough for two extra games.
yeah shopto. I know have £10 something in points. Maybe i'll use it to get tekken. I hope it get's sent tomorrow. Oh well at least i can get more time to play UMVC3 and Lollipop chainsaw
Amazon and Zavvi are cheaper in general for Tekken. I was thiinking of getting Warriors Orochi Hyper but I already have 3 for the PS3. Dunno if it's a waste. Everything else I played or have no interest in at all. (save for Mass Effect but I'm refusing to buy that out of principle that they've got the entire trilogy out on the other consoles for less. I don't even think 3 comes with all of the DLC either does it?
it comes with all the dlc that's out already but won't be getting all the new ones. I may get scribblenauts unlimted and i may lovefilm lego city and warriors orochi but that's it for now until pikmin 3 et al
