The first law in the American colonies regarding marijuana was a 1619 law that actually required farmers to grow the hemp plant.

I think it was fan made.
Should have checked the link 
(and use less of the green stuff)
Ah well, if so, then it's still a nice joke and I still agree with the message ^^.

Awesome.
Besides being a nice April Fool's joke, it also really shows they are confident with the path their company is taking.
So much doom and gloom, yet Nintendo finds a way to turn it around and laugh about it.
Respect.

Jealousy ensues.
Too bad I can't get my hands on either of those games yet.
Hope you enjoy them as much as the reviews suggest!

Anyone else want to see Shovel Knight join the roster?
I think he'd be an awesome addition, even though it's very unlikely.

Well, it clearly showed all of the aspects of the game: the single player, 3DS co-op, 3DS-Wii U co-op, file transfer, and online play with voice chat. The expressions were exaggerated, but they showed that you will be frustrated, then determined, then excited when you beat it. I personally thought it was the best Wii U ad so far, certainly a lot better than the multicolored cubes.
Well to me it only showed you fight big monsters with multiple people, I assume the game has a story 'n stuff .
It also has a very different combat system than other games.
I agree its better than some other adverts, but simply being better doesn't mean good.
Maybe I'm just being extra harsh cause of the overacting (something I can't stand )

I'd rather see a boy in a fight with a real dragon but people like to be identified as social beings. This makes it more of an illusion but most buyers will think, ah this might be nice to play, maybe for their kids. True, towards the core gamer this is not what you'd want but do core gamers need commercials, nah, they already made up their mind with previews, reviews, forums, demo's and so on. This is not for us but for the common folk.
If I'd see a commercial about a game on TV I'd like to know what the game is really about, sort of like a short review without spoilers.
All this showed was people playing a game and having fun, something you see in every other commercial, but fails to explain why its fun.
I don't enjoy every game like people do in commercials, so why should this one stand out.
Then again, I can't think of any commercial that's ever enticed me to buy anything really, so maybe I shouldn't go on personal experience.

Why always show so much of who is playing the game and their overacted faces and movements instead of focusing on what the game is about?
All you know about the game now is there are big monsters and you can play with other people...

#177243 Exactly how large is the power gap between the Wii U and the PS4?

Tbh this kind of reminds me of the ps3 hype over the 360 after both 2005 conferences revealed them and most people were thinking that the ps3 was going to blow the 360 away and the thrid party games were going to be better looking on that system... We all know how that turned out. This is just a wait-n-see how dev are going to take advantage of the systems they develop for and I honestly believe Wii U games will look just as amazing as ps4 but what do I know I'm not a dev .
True, as others have pointed out before, diminishing returns is gonna bite em in the ass.

And for a company that even lies about its third party support, you cant expect much really.

I want to say I'm surprised, but I'm really not. SONY lies and over-hypes all the time.

I advise everyone to watch this playthrough of the demo.
He really shows nearly every aspect of it and explains everything he is doing.
Truly shows how immersive this game is and shows the kind of skill needed to start thinking about doing it on hard mode and up.

holiday 2013 could mean Easter,Arbor Day,Grandparents day etc
Actually, when you say "Holidays 2013" it refers to Christmas and the holidays surrounding that period.
It runs from November to Januari.
Easter and Arbor Day are holidays but they don't happen during the holidays.

Not to be rude but I am not sure where you get your math from...but a 25% drop is still around $75 bucks for Wii U 8 gig and $87 bucks for Wii U 32 gig.. my examples are more like 17% off from MFSG which gives a $50 - $60 price drop. To you it may not seem "that far off" but when you compare it to current retail pricing of a 3DS XL going for it's new MFSG of $199.99 Nintendo could really hurt itself offering the Wii U Basic Console at 30% off, that would make it around $210.00...
You gave wii u + nintendo land and mario a price of $299, its now $399, thats a $100 drop, 25%?
Btw, I agree with your $299 price of the bundle, just for the fact it gets them under the $300 mark, except I'm hoping for a new game bundle with that price.

That's why I said "close to the 3DS scale" ^^
Your own expectations are a 25% drop, not that far off.

Good point, I am not counting added software into the price.
I do think their bundles are good value currently though and wish I would of held out for the zombi U with pro controller, but i dont mind since i had it at launch
Aye, they are, but as I haven't bought one yet, I hope my Retro Studio predictions/hopes come true though, for even better value ^^

And I like the idea of delivering download versions of the games with the console bundle as a money saver.
That would be nice, a big title and maybe some small eshop or virtual console games pre-installed.

What would be really cool is a bundle with a big game and something like $40 eShop credit, along with all of the other Premium package perks. I think this would be basically identical to your idea so long as the credit is used toward indie games.
Would indeed be nicer to be able to chose the indie games instead of a forced bundle ^^

You know the PS4's release date?
Do tell.
The window is "Holidays 2013" .
I do agree that a price drop is likely.
I'm expecting (read hoping) that Retro Studios' new game, whether it be a new IP or an old one reinvented, to be bundled with the Wii U at a reduced price for the Holiday season. If needed, it'll be a price drop close to the 3DS scale, which was about 30%.

do have a fear that retro might be over hyped..., but still surprise those who dont know about it.
Aye, this popped in my head, though has Retro brought us anything that wasn't gold yet?
I don't think there is such a thing as over hyped with Retro, they'll deliver no matter how much hype there is ^^ .
