My Wii U got hit by the flashing red light of death, now I have to send it in to get repaired.
I didn't think it had one of those

For any Need For Speed fans.
http://wiiublog.com/a-demo-for-monster-hunter-3-ultimate-is-coming-to-the-eshop-on-the-21st-of-february/
A demo for MH3U shall be coming to both NA and EU on Feb the 21st and also, Capcom confirmed that there will be a first day patch for voice chat and keyboard chat.
http://wiiublog.com/pikmin-3-the-wonderful-101-game-wario-and-wii-fit-u-are-not-coming-before-the-end-of-march/
The games in the titles have been set back from before March to "first half of the year." I'm guessing between April and June instead of early year now.
If I were to get a 3DS/Wii U, what games are must haves? Im interested in maybe getting these in the not too distant future
For 3DS I'd highly recommend
Kid Icarus Uprising
Super Mario 3D Land
Ocarina of Time 3D
Mario Kart 7
Final Fantasy theatrythm
Tales of the AByss 3D
Paper Mario Sticker Star
and these eshop titles: Pushmo
Crashmo
Crimson Shroud
Link's awakening dx
and there a lot more I haven't played on the eshop that are supposedly great
Also, judging by the demo and prior experience with series the upcoming Fire Emblem that is released in the states on Feb. 4 looks great. Near future Animal Crossing New Leaf also looks amazing
As for Wii U:
Nintendo Land
New Super Mario Bros. U
Trine 2: Director's cut (this one is eshop) for what's out right now (I've heard a lot of people who played ZombiU loved it as well, but horror isn't my thing so I haven't tried it)
and upcoming titles like MOnster Hunter 3 Ultimate (which is also getting a 3ds version, though the wii u version has online which makes it vastly superior IMO), Wonderful 101, and Pikmin 3
I would not recommend Paper Mario: Sticker Star to even my enemies…
I'd reccomend PP: SS sure it isn't as good as PP64 or TTYD but it is still a good game
"Hey, you wanna choose which enemy to attack? Hell no, we gonna line them up so you can only either hit the guy up front or try and hit them all"
"What's that? You want allies to help you in battle? F that, here's a one dimensional bitch that you really can't stand. Oh, and let's throw in a scene that pleads you to love said character and feel sad when that scene is over."
"Wuzzat? You want boss characters with…uh...character? Screw that, let's biggie size run of the mill enemies and give them a shiny new coat!"
The list goes on...
I guess it's reasons like that why we have the "Your Mileage May Vary" trope.
I'm still loving Paper Mario. Once I got over the fact that it wasn't the same as the first two I was happy. Except that one time I got killed near the end of the level and had to get back to it.
I guess I'm easily amused with games then.
i enjoyed it but not as much as the others. Honestly when you get to like world 3 the game becomes much more enjoyable
The only thing that I found somewhat enjoyable was the Flamenco dancing Bloober…that was actually an enjoyable boss battle...
Was going to post it, FUCK YEAH! awesome news.
Yeah, I'm also really excited about that
http://mynintendonews.com/2013/01/22/wii-u-nintendo-direct-to-air-tomorrow/
Going to be a Wii U Nintendo Direct tomorrow. says they will show some new Wii U games so that is something to look forward too.
here's hoping for the rumored yoshi game
North America's is 6 am PT/ 9 am ET. Works pretty well for me as I'm awake during that time and my classes start only an hour later. Hope it won't run too long though
They been announcing new Wii U games quite often. Most are the e-shop stuff tho.
Dunno what I'm hoping for really. I doubt they're gonna pull the big guns out like Mario 3d, Zelda or Metroid. So maybe something smaller like a new Kirby, Yoshi or DK. Would love to see an Ice Climbers return. Looking ahead the next big game for me after Ni No Kuni is Tomb Raider. So if they announce that for March, AND announce the Playarts Kai Lara set for Wii U I'll be so happy.
Could see them announcing the Wii U Virtual Console and a handful of games too. It's all well and good announcing something huge but if it's not out till Christmas it aint gonna help them right now.
Just a reminder that there are 15 minutes to the new nintendo direct. I'll probably post as it goes with any new info
Here's hoping for anything that will make the Wii U worth purchasing.

WINDWAKER HD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WInd Waker Wii U!
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Also appearently for the brand new zelda they're trying to make it less linear so that's cool
Xenoblade sequel!
:blink::blink::blink:
Monolith's new title! NEED!!! ASAP!
A look at the new monolith soft game. Looks really cool. Hopefully this means it;ll be localized
I think that was the best Nintendo Direct thus far
well looks like i better start playing shin megami tensei. Wind waker looks absolutely gorgeous as does yoshi land (which reminds me a lo of little big planet meets kirby's epic yarn).
And a 1000 yes' for xenoblade sequel. I'm drooling everywhere for this
For those that didn't catch the X trailer (supposedly xenoblade 2)
here
Ok just rewatched a huge thing that could kill my enthusiasm for this there is a chat window 0:23.
If this turns out to be an mmo…
There is another player killing a monster in the back, so it will have some kind of MMO elements but I think its mostly a single player rpg.
God no.. please don't be an MMO
Wind Waker HD made my morning. I didn't expect all this from a Nintendo Direct but I'll take it!
My favorite Zelda game is coming to Wii U? Awesome!
Now give us Majora's Mask!
Also, my Wii U is still with Nintendo. I probably won't get it back for another month.
Pray none of you encounter the flashing red light of DOOM.
This Nintendo Direct will probably be the reason I will finally get a Wii U.To be honest the new 3D action Mario game is the reason.I am also really excited for Bayonetta 2,Yoshi's epic yarn,the new Zelda games and the Xenoblade developers one.
from what i gathered in the x trailer it may end up being multiplayer with the main character being customizable. while i pray to the lord almighty that it isn't an mmo this may be a game like monster hunter or demon souls where you can enter other peoples games and help them or do online missions together (as well as the campaign)
Well, just when I was feeling kind of pessimistic about the Wii. Just…....holy damn.

Doesn't look like MMO to me, looks like a single player game. That one screen where there was two others showing up quick could just be your party running around with you. Or maybe as you guys say its like Monster Hunter and those are people online.
But looks like a cross between monster hunter and FF13 (when you finally reach the only open area in game and see huge monsters roaming world)
The whole mecha thing seems interesting and actually pretty well implemented from what I can see.
Holy shit WIND WAKER. Man I'm pumped. So hope they add the missing dungeons they said where supposed to be in game. Also hope it uses same control scheme or improved upon Skyward Sword. I prefer that over over a controller. Now waiting for some sweet bundle or special edition wii U to come out.

In what single player game do you need a chat window to communicate with other players?
It's also not some kind of interface for dialog summary it's a genuine chat window. People are greeting each other, one of the players is commenting on how huge the monster is.
Also while we're at it what would look like an mmo to you? Xenoblade being the single player game that it was, was damn mmo-ish from the interface to the combat to enemy behavior. We're having the same stuff here regarding interface and hotkey combat so there really isn't much that doesn't look like a mmo about it. The only thing we have is the knowledge that xenoblade was a singleplayer game after all.
the Yoshi Yarn pics are awesome..cant wait
Yay! Wind waker us back..i giot stuck on the Last boss on the first half of the games temples so this will be nice to finish the game finally?
GBA games? cool.. hopefully Zero Mission and a few other cool titles show up as well as More NES/SNES games…Sad though most of the RARE series from the 80s or Capcoms Disney series from the 90s will not be up :(
wind waker HD
new zelda that might not be linear, and might be multiplayer
new 3D mario by the main dev team
yoshi yarn
monolith soft's X
fire emblem x SMT
smash bros news at E3 confirmed
okay, nintendo, jesus, calm down. if you get me any more hyped, I'll pop a vein.
we'll try to have a similar conference for 3DS games in the near future
goddamnit why does it hurt so good
And within one minute of me reading all the news, my opinion of the Wii U went from "sheer apathy" to "THIS IS THE ONLY THING I WANT HOOKED UP TO MY TV THIS YEAR"
Well played Nintendo.
God, and that's not even considering what's also coming for the 3DS. Pokemon X and Y alone will dominate most of my free time.
Earthbound/Mother 2 will be released on Japan's virtual console.
It was mentioned on Japan's Nintendo Direct, but not North America's. I'm glad it's getting some treatment, even if it is just a virtual console release. I hope it comes overseas eventually, though.
Apparently these are the 30p/30c games
Jan: Balloon Flight
Feb: F-Zero
March: Punch Out! Featuring Mr. Dream
April: Kirby's Adventure
May: Super Metroid
June: Yoshi
July: Donkey Kong
No idea on which Yoshi game it is. If it's Mario + Yoshi or Yoshi Cookie then won't be touching it. Yoshi's Island….got it for free on the 3DS but I'll certainly pay 30p for it again.

It's mario & yoshi. They showed them all in the nintendo direct. I have all of them and the only one i would consider regetting is super metroid because 30p is cheaper than the 99p required to unlock the wii u features

and it's part of the 30p famicom revive. Of course it is. Well at least this means it's possible we could get it now
And without even imagining it at the beginning of this week, I went ahead and got the Wii U and a set of controllers. All I really needed to feel the desire for the new console was the promise of software, and lo and behold.
Bravo, Nintendo. This is why you owned my childhood.
Just played my first playthrough of the Cave. Such amazing stuff. Really enjoyed it. The addition of Miiverse for when you get stuck was pretty damn handy too.
Edit: And Tomb Raider isn't coming out for the Wii U due to the Wii U being too unique… Oh well.
Really enjoying the ability to randomly play Balloon Fight on the gamepad in between getting paperwork done for work, with my girlfriend sometimes joining me on the TV. If it wasn't for the paperwork, life would be perfect.
i think super metroid is the only one i can be bothered to get. Balloon fight is fun and all but i have it about 3 times already
