I think you have lost track of what you were arguing about....

However, the chain chomp absolutely is integral to links awakening, you literally cannot progress through the game without its gameplay mechanics.

And past that, piranha plants, goombas, and even kirby were cameo enemies in links awakening.




Which is the exact same situation you are talking about.

And finally, metroids are also enemies in the kid icarus series.

Chain Chomp and Metroids in Kid Icarus are the first actual examples of Integral game content you have cited. Which is exactly what I was arguing all along. Therefore I concede the point.

Paging Captian Obvious. Happy Mask Salesman had Pokemon,Mario,StarFox and others. Then in Oot and LA we had these. Talon even has a Bowser Broach

Which are all in jokes and references. Not integral game design.

But it was still in the game, meaning it was planned to be put into the game at one point so it still counts

They aren't serious parts of the game that you find and interact with so they don't count at all.

I played it at JB Hi-Fi in Australia yesterday. Just a demo though, a few courses and no battle mode.

They are just mushrooms. Even if it was Metroid. Legit other Nintendo series have appeared in Zelda before

The first one is an easter egg, and the second one is in the code of the game, but you have to hack the code to see it.

Lol, why are there Metroids in it?

I just want hype.

Holy Crap oh my god Holy CRAP.

My Gamepad already has an NES design sticker on it, but the one from OP is also Coolio.

Could not find threads. Plus this thread is special, it's not just about E3, it's also about which youtube channel does the best E3 coverage.
My vote is for Fraser and the gang at Video Games Awesome.

They may relate Wii U sales to the choice not to do a conference last year and go back to a big event.
Or they might stick to their guns and do a Direct because they are Nintendo and hence unpredictable.
Regardless, I'll be warming up the HYPE TRAIN!

Come on chums! Who has the scoops? Conference this year or Nintendo Direct (Directly.......... to you!), what games?! What celebrities? How much Reggie? Hit me with the digits!

Ironic the 4.1 update is released on 4/1/2014 .

That's Coincidence, not Irony.

F-Zero.
That is all.

When I use the shoulder buttons to quickly scroll through the menus, i.e. from page 1 to page 6, it goes faster now.

I loved Wii Fit! I used to get up in the morning every day and do the yoga exercises, and I hate both getting up and exercising. I did it because it was fun to try to get better scores than my family. I am really looking forward to Wii Fit U as well because I have been feeling somewhat sedentary lately.

This reeks of not true.

please tell me where u heard about this, and for goodness sake, why doesn't Nintendo's website notify us about this kind of stuff? i would have gone an extra mile for that Gannon statue for real. Mario/Luigi remotes to play the new new new SMB for wii u= i'd be pumped!

What do you think Nintendo Directs are for?

If that's a taste of David Wises new music then hot damn, sign me up!

EB Games [The Australian arm of Gamestop] is the same way.
I got screwed on the price when i=I picked up my launch day Wii U at midnight.
I had pre-ordered the Premium and he was trying to give me a basic, and he had told me that if I ordered games and a controller with the console he would lower the price.
Never happened and I had to borrow money from a friend to cover it, as I had the exact cash amount he quoted me.
I looked like an idiot being first in line.

I can't play Mario all stars because they updated the sound and graphics for the SNES, so I'm a bit of a purist.
But even I think Wind Waker LIVES on the Wii U in HD.
If it came out as a new game today I wouldn't bat an eyelid, the MiiVerse integration and the camera feel like they wre built for the Gamepad.
It feels right and natural and at home on Wii U.

I just got the regular one from EBGames Australia. I didn't think much of the statue, a Link statue would have sold me though. Or a Tingle.
