I'm foaming at the mouth because of rabies, not Mario Kart 8 or Smash Bros or X or Bayonetta 2.

You have to admit though that the Wii U lacks that killer app that will get gamers foaming from the mouth. 

Their first game is Mad Men Football (American), slated for an eShop release later this year in the states.

Bayonetta 2 looks amazing in every department. How can I not get something with the word "Fimbleventor" in it?

At this point in time, the Wii U is actually one of my favourite consoles. It has so many good games already, with more coming.

It's fair enough to buy a PS4 though, that thing has Octodad: Dadliest Catch - the best thing on the console.

Donkey Kong taught me how to respond when a banana is crushed - destroy everyone!

Ditto. If they do then Ubi goes on my bottem well carp list. They are already in my naughty list and I would really like to support child of light.

If you want Child of Light, buy it. People not buying games because of annoyance that games don't come out, get delayed etc... are missing the point. If you stop buying their games, they will stop making their games for the console you own. You need to show support by purchasing their games, all you do when refusing to buy a game based on the company that made it is proving their point.

Also: Child of Light looks great!

Bring on the rest of the review scores, which will be good.

Some of the games are not yet confirmed for Wii U, Wii U support rests on Kickstarter Stretch goals (La Mulana 2) and Tadpole Treble failed to reach its Kickstarter stretch goal.

Other than that, Armikrog, 90s Racer and Scram Kitty look great.

Why would a delay make you cancel pre-orders? People deciding that they will not buy a game because of a delay or because of "ethical" reasons are feeding the company's distrust. If you don't buy their games, they won't make more. The smartest move is to show support, I mean, a delay is a delay, if it means we get a better game as a result do a few months really matter?

This is why I still plan on buying the game for my Wii U, also because it looks interesting.

So Nintendo need to copy SEGA in making a beloved character with a strong fanbase look strange so it can 'appeal to the Western gamers'?

CryEngine 3 does not mean good game, anyone can use the engine if they get the rights. 

I'm still getting it. Unless they cancel it later...

Eh. There's always been clones after clones - kinda how the industry rolls. One company makes a game that really does well, everyone else copies it.

They're going to surprise us with the announcement of a F-Zero/Star Fox crossover.

I've already got Lego City Undercover, Need For Speed, Assassin's Creed 3 + 4, Zombi U, Tekken, Ninja Gaiden 3, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty Black Ops II, Arkham City + Origins, Sonic Lost World + All Stars Racing Transformed, Deus Ex, Rayman Legends and Tank Tank Tank. Hoping to get Darksiders 2 and Injustice soon.

I've been good to third parties and I suggest other people follow suit.

I'd honestly just consider buying the company for the IPs and let EAD or someone in-house make the games.

 

Pretty sure a few of the people from the N64 games would consider coming back if Nintendo held the reins again.

Indeed. A new Nintendo-made Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark and a new Blast Corps would be fantastic.

This is actually a decent advert. I wonder if we'll get one like this here in the UK... Probably not.

Nintendo should buy Platinum, get them to make F-Zero and Starfox. Sega would be good but would never happen, as with Capcom.

Nah. I'm not exactly the competitive type. The most online multiplayering I do is with friends (kinda rare since I'm actually kinda shy) or for PS3 trophies. :T

 

Will definitely get a lot of mileage out of local multiplayer/trophy unlocking in the games though. Maybe Nintendo will do another Club Nintendo thing where you buy both the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game and you get $20-30 eShop credit. :T

Another thing where you get $20-30 eShop credit? Never had anything like that in the UK (other than getting a fourth 3DS game for free when buying three).

I don't really have any plans to play Smash Bros. competitively, I find the scene annoyingly self-righteous.

36 characters is not enough. The quote from Sakurai about the amount of characters actually reads as followed:

“It isn’t a matter of ‘if the next game has 50 characters, that’ll be enough.’ There is a certain charm to games that have huge casts of playable characters, but they tend to have issues with game balance and it becomes very difficult to fine-tune each character and have them all feel distinctive.

“In terms of quantity, we’ve probably already reached the limit of what’s feasible. I think a change of direction may be what’s needed.”

This suggests that if anything Sakurai is thinking of 50 characters, perhaps being the limit. The new game will have more characters than Brawl. At the very least, I think we will have the character roster of Brawl, with a few newcomers - the characters confirmed already seem to back this judgement up. Toon Link in particular, but Lucario's announcement yesterday made me think back to this quote of Sakurai:

“Whether it’s a minor character or a character that is one of the most highly skilled and most played, if that character is removed from the game, the people who live for that character in Smash Bros. are going to have their feelings hurt.”

Sakurai is very wary of getting rid of characters, mix that in with the quote above of 50 characters (I know slightly taken out of context), and I think we'll be seeing at least 45 characters in the new Smash Bros.
