Nintendo Wii U

The year of the ps3

[ryodi]

Sega already claimed 2014 to be the year of Sonic, sorry guys!

Sonic had one Tuesday 22 years ago which I think was enough for everyone.

Heads up for anyone interested, HMV are selling Rayman Legends for £9.99 I picked a copy up from the Bath branch on the way home today.

It's been posted on UK Hot Deals so you may have to hurry to beat the pikeys filling up wheelbarrows full of them.

I'd have posted this on the bargains section but no one ever looks in there.

All the big Nintendo Direct announcements are on my twitter feed by the way. Some exciting stuff coming.

2014 is going to be the year of Captain Rainbow.

[Jack]

And a network maintenance this evening too:

So that's probably a new system update tonight. A worldwide simultaneous presentation has to mean something truly incredible, like another eight seconds shaved off the Wii U settings load time or something.

Hyrule Warriors release date, yeahhhhhhh

[JPickford]

What I'd like to see.

Wii U renamed to Wii 2.

£175 price point.

Some amazing game up for download immediately.

Mario 3D All stars.

Wii Shop opened up like the AppStore. Self publishing with no concept approval or fees.

Every NES, SNES, N64 game put online now.

Subscription like PS+ gives access to ALL those classic as well as a rotating selection of Wii U full fat games. Netflix for games (only NOT streaming)

The usual ... a 2.5D Metroid and a new Advance Wars for 3DS please.

On the Wii U I'd like some new tactile extreme sports game to beat SSX, 1080, Skate and the original Tony Hawk games. Some downhill time trial / trick 1080-SSX hybrid stuff would be good. Or maybe a Mario Bike game to inject some Nintendo magic in Trials HD. Use your imagination Nintendo.

[boxoctosis]

Use your imagination Nintendo.

Mario Party 3DS 2, Q4 2014. And everyone can download NES Ice Climbers on Wii U right now!!!

Oh, and a standard Wii U as dev kit.

I like Naps ideas too.

[Nick_L]

NES Slalom on VC to tie in with Winter Olympics. 4.99 available now.

[phresh]

More Pikmin co-op levels.

[kensei]

Redesign of Mario's hat.

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Who the fuck is Little Mac?

[SweatyTravolta]

Steel Diver 2! No one saw that coming

[Zathras]

Still can't see it - bloody stream keeps dying.

[Jack]

The american stream seems more reliable:

[scottcr]

Stream is fucked

[Zathras]

Ooh, new game featuring a spinning circle on a black screen. Exciting!

[Gambit]

This is the first Nintendo Direct I've watched.

Buffering..............Buffering............Buffering.

Load of wank.

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Some amazing game up for download immediately.

Check! How'd you like your baseball? It's based on GOOD FEELINGS

Edit: oh well, April

[timgp]

Even Nintendo aren't making any Wii U games. This is all 3DS.

These are great ideas. Nintendo's leadership is not savvy enough to implement any of them.

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Haha, they still don't have the Azran Legacy yet

[Purin]

uBuffer

[Chooch]

Useless stream.

[Jack]

Did that baseball game really have haggling over microtransactions?

[Xevious]

The american stream seems more reliable:

Great, we get to learn about games that came out in Europe ages ago.

[Nick_L]

Have Nintendo forgotten about the Wii U?
