Nintendo of Europe are doing a Nintendo Direct tomorrow for Wii U and 3DS. Dunno if we'll see anything new like the rumoured Yoshi Land or Resi 6. I'm betting it's more like release dates for Scribblenauts, Rayman, Luigi's Mansion etc. Maybe somestuff on Nintendo TVii and e-shop

North AMerican nintendo direct tomorrow as well. Here's hoping for some release dates, new games, and localizations
-
And Japan also gets a Nintendo direct, 6 hours before the north AMerican one. Since the Japanese one is focusing on the Wii U and its upcoming Japanese launch, I'm guessing the 3ds announcements and info from the NA and EU directs will be about titles that are already out in Japan, but not outside. So this means stuff like Animal Crossing New Leaf, Fire Emblem Awakening, and possible localization announcements
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
A Wii U system update is live. It supposedly helps loading times a bit
-
A Wii U update? Just got up but I noticed there was a 3DS update too. Wonder if it's linked in anyways?
-
Some great footage of Pikmin 3. Seriously, the visual effects are amazing and the fact you perform multiple tasks at one time is great.
-
ANd it begins http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/archive/12-05-2012/

Reggie Mii is planning to take over Reggie's life

Fire Emblem Awakening coming to NA on February 4!
-
I was about to say that Q1 was turning into a desert, but then Fire Emblem on February 4th. Yay, that's within the birthday present threshold.
This cynical part of myself is saying that Luigi's Mansion will never come out, though.
-
Yeah just started in UK. Nice to see the loading is as bad as ever :/
I feel bad that im more excited for Lego City than I am GTA V
Something Special: Exclusive Lego XD
You know. I think I'd care more for the likes of Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U if they'd done 1 and 2. That's the only thing that's holding me back with it. And the price of course.
Ninja Gaiden 3? Coming soon? For some reason I thought it was Launch XD
Scribblenauts. Yet another one that was launch yet randomly pushed back XD Edit: Feb 8th!? 3 months after US. Ridiculous. They better have fixed the spelling from the US version at least XD
More casual Sing crap.
Pinball. Whoopee
Yaaaaaay Pikmin! Q2 now. So likely June time :/
Surprisingly Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is out in March.I'm guessing at this point they aren't announcing anything new. So they need to pull their fingers out their ass if they are gonna announce Need For Speed, Tomb Raider, Resi 6. Because otherwise they're gonna go down as well as Batman, Mass Effect etc did. In that everyone will have bought for the other consoles. Hell. Announce ANYTHING.
Animal Crossing: Q2
Paper Mario Sticker Star: Some exclusive thing if you register it.
Mario Bros 2 DLC. Already out for a few weeks now2013 is the year of Weegee! Oh dear. Out March 2013. (aka. June 2013)
Demon Training…or Devilish Brain Training. I enjoyed Brain Training enough but nowhere near enough to buy any of the others. Or this one XD
Castlevania is out in March
I enjoyed Picross e. But felt it was too short and not nearly enough puzzles. But the 2nd one is out in Jan
Wario Land 3 on e-shop: out now (I think) it said after this:
Fire Emblem! YAAAY! And then half-way through it cut to the credits. No idea on the release date. Edit: April. -
Harmoknight coming to NA eshop

The Mass Effect 3 is fricken stupid. I believe there is a 1-3 collection coming out soon for ps3 and 360 isn't there? Why the hell would they not do that for Wii U?
-

Trilogy is out now here. For 360 it costs £30 for all three. ME3 on it's own on the Wii U is £40… And then they'll likely complain that nobody is buying it and drop all Wii U support due to lack of sales.

great wii u podcast with a lot of legitimate concerns but also hope for the future -
Just cleared all the levels in NSMBU, beat bowser, unlocked the star road. Got all the exits, and most of the star coins, too.
This is easily the best 2D Mario game since SMW, and I was playing it solo. Well, not quite, my sister provided help with the boost pads once in a while. And that was cool, because she's honestly not very good at platformers, but this allowed her to play along with me and see the game and talk about it and stuff. Looking forward to trying the actual multiplayer once I can round up some competent friends.
but, now to get those final star coins and then conquer the star road…

lol
Lol at Iwata ghost
-
I think I'm the only one who didn't really mind the update. XD It wasn't nearly as long as people made it out to be XD
And lol. 20 years in the future and only on Ipad 6?
-
plus you could do most of it in the background so you can still play your games while it downloads
-
i seem to recall some updates on 360 and PS3 taking as long if not longer.
At least in the next batch of Wii U's, hopefully the update is already going to be put on them.

Nintendo announced that the patch will be on all Wii Us from April.
Most likely then people will complain that they missed the opportunity for the patch and the system sets up too quick for them to decide which game to play on.

Mine took a long time, largely because the server was too stressed and kept booting me, probably due to everyone in the U.S. who bought one doing it at once. I also had an error right before it finished at one point and had to start the whole thing from the very beginning

For those UK folks looking forward to Rayman Legends, you guys get it March 1st, 4 days after America. Also, a demo for Rayman Legends will be releasing a demo for it(Though I have no clue if just the UK or includes US. Also, Ubisoft said they're releasing ZombiU demo before December 15th.)
http://mynintendonews.com/2012/12/07/rayman-legends-coming-to-uk-in-march-demo-coming-next-week/For those who bought the deluxe Wii U, Nintendo has just opened the promotion for it. The promotion, if you don't know, gives you 10% back from a eShop purchase. All you have to do is actually purchase a game, and log in to this site: https://p.nintendo.net/deluxe/login.do
On European Wii Us, you can not view 18+ stuff before 11pm. If you try to, you'll be brought to a message: ”You cannot view this content. The times during which this content can be viewed have been restricted.”
http://mynintendonews.com/2012/12/07/european-wii-u-eshop-restricts-18-plus-rated-content-during-the-daytime/Apparently, VG247 interviewed Hino and it seems that he revealed to them that Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright is due for release next year.

I'm so annoyed about the pre-11pm ban on stuff. ESPECIALLY because there's a parental control icon there. If Parents can't be bothered to use that then why should everyone else have to suffer for it?
-
anyone else see that new Game & Wario footage?
There's at least one mode where you play the microgames, but you're 9-volt playing games under his sheets at night, and you have to flip down the gamepad when his mom comes in, so she doesn't catch you gaming. brings back a ton of memories for me…
also there's one where the gamepad player mills about with a bunch of npcs, and tries to steal these apples, while not being obviously a player-controlled character. the others look at the TV and try to pick out the guilty party. Shit looks like a lot of fun, actually.
edit: about that restriction thing, in the article it says "There messages appear for user accounts on which no parental controls have been set."
So, if you just set your parental controls to "let me do what i want" then everything will be fine, and this is actually no issue at all.
-
that 11 pm ban is pretty fucking stupid
lol kidtendo
-
lol. Just noticed that about the parental controls. Still stupid that you gotta go in and change them. (that's the parent's job really.)

My Wii U ID is "Shuhan" if anyone wants it~
-
So um Voice Chat. When I ever get around to friending some of you I hope you don't play games naked!

I just added Cyber, OnePark, Kai, and Blacklegjex…let me know if I missed anybody

One of you McRiches need to buy me a Wii U. Seriously.

Mine is Aaronrules 380. I'll have to add a few people, unless they use miiverse to send a friend request first

Well trading in my 3ds for $100. Just bought the 3DS XL with Mario Kart 7 for $160.
Seems like a fair trade, imo. Upgrade system and get a great game for only $60.
Now to wait for a good deal on Wii U. Man so excited that the Wii U uses the same controller and periphials as the Wii. That alone will save me hundreds of dollars not having to buy 4 controllers, and nunchuks and many other things I accumulated throughout the Wii. I mean the Wii U Mario kart comes out and I can hop right on in with the same ol' wheels. They may not be as hardcore for time runs, but they are so much more fun steering and playing.
-
I'm all settled in. My ID's in my sig now; I communicate with doodles if you enjoy that sort of thing.
-
So for Europeans upset about M-rated content on the eshop only being avaiable at night: It's Germany's fault http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=192796

My parents suck at hiding christmas presents before they're wrapped and I've found that I'm going to get the Wii U for Christmas. I'm pumped.

That sucks, now you're gonna have to practice your reaction for Christmas morning.

boy, I didn't take 2 weeks of film camp for nothing.
-
Should ask for it early so you don't have to go through the update on Christmas Day :P
-
Well hello there Wii U.
You're looking nice and snazzy in my hands. -
Should be too hard to fake a reaction. The fact that you know about it for 2 weeks ahead of time and can't open or play it should make you super excited to open the box regardless of knowing what's in it or not. So you really won't be faking it, you'll just be pretending your excitement it over the reveal and not the wait finally being over and you get to finally play it.
BTW was playing Mario Kart 7 earlier and noticed beating the gran pri you get as usual a gold trophy for first, silver second, ect. Then you also get 3 stars, or i got 2 once when got screwed at end and didn't win them all. Is 3 the max or is there an S, or SS rating you can get? I seem to recall there was a Mario kart game once that you got S or SS ranks. or some nintendo game at least. I'm just curious cause kind of like a completion nut. So I'll want all the max rating and gold trophy for every gran pri.

3 is the max, and also insanely hard to get in 150cc

Oh. So Wind Waker is 10 years old today. Doesn't feel that old. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside when I think of that. Easily one of the best games the past decade. It's aged pretty well too. Especially compared to some of the other games that get thrown around as the 'best game of their era'
Come on Nintendo. This is when you be cool and announce a HD version for it on the Wii U e-shop.
-
Geez. Has it really been that long? Where has my life been?
-
I remember I got it when I was young and got stuck at the stealth part where you lose your sword in the fortress. I left the game for years and I think it was only a year ot two ago I finally got around to beating it. But yeah, it was a great game, though I wish sailing didn't take so long (especially since my horrible sense of direction meant I also had to constantly pull up the map to make sure I hadn't gone off course)
-
Dear god. Rayman Legends demo is so much fun. Especially that Castle level
-
I'll probably download that demo soon. Can't right now as I'm heading home from college today and my Wii U is already packed

Nintendo DS surpassed the PS2 and become the best selling platform
-
Kooky, it happened the same week 3DS outsold the PS3 LTD in Japan.
-
I was almost always under the impression that would've happened with the Wii though for a myriad a reasons that didn't.
