Great job by Gameexplain!  And saying it's the best Wii U game is a pretty lofty statement, but it's great to see.

It's just a commercial, and it accomplishes what it's supposed to.  With not many Wii U games on the horizon, hopefully this game carries the torch pretty well.  I'm looking forward to it.

I know a lot of people didn't want Retro doing this game over Metroid, but it just keeps sounding better and better!  It sounds like Retro has done a very nice job on this one and that it will be a pretty good challenge as always.  I'm excited to play this one in a little over a month!

Hopefully, we'll see a Luigi's Mansion for Wii U in a couple years!  This news definitely makes that a possibility, even though it was probably already a pretty good possibility.  It's always good news to see "Nintendo-only" devs.

Don't they say they don't know whether it's native 1080p or upscaled? This confuses me a bit, I mean, if you have the Wii U set to 1080p, it always upscales right? So what are they actually saying?

Edit: OK, my doubt carried over from the Mynintendonews website. They do say 1080p, and that wouldn't mean anything if it wasn't native. So ignore what I wrote above. But... where does it say it's 60 fps?

 

I'm pretty sure the 60fps was confirmed awhile back.  In fact, I'm pretty sure Nintendo mentioned something about most of or all of their first-party titles being 60fps moving forward.  I don't want to go digging for that info, but I remember reading it somewhere a couple months ago.  All of their big ones (3D World, DKC: TF, MK8, Smash, Bayo 2, etc.) will be anyway.

I'm all for more sports games on the Wii U. I really want a deep golf game, but a good soccer game would be nice as well. I'm a bigger fan of FIFA, but the PES series could sneak in and make things happen on the Wii U by being the only soccer game on the console. We'll see how things go in the future, but I'm hopeful a few decent sports games will come to Wii U.

I'm getting the Luigi's Mansion 3DS bundle for my son for Christmas.  It's $149.99 at Best Buy this Thursday, and I'm interested in playing that one myself. LOL.  I'm getting him Mario Kart 7 as well because that's the one he wants the most.  I'm pretty excited to get a 3DS, Luigi's Mansion, and MK7 for under $200.

Official Nintendo Magazine gave it a 93% which is crazily one of the lowest scores it has received so far.  It's one thing to see a great review from one or two sites, but when all of them are saying the same exact thing, it means something.  This game is going to be a game changer for the Wii U, and it's going to go down as one of the best ever.

I'm not a Wii U owner either, but after a lot of recent research the past month or two, I've decided to skip the XBox One and PS4 for now and get a Wii U.  I just sat down and made a wishlist of games I want, and the Wii U list had more on it.  That made my decision much easier.  There are already a handful of games I want in the next 6-12 months (DKC:TF, Mario Kart 8, 3D World, etc.), and I'm sure Nintendo will announce plenty more for late-2014 and beyond.  I've always been a Nintendo guy, so the decision wasn't too tough when I started thinking about it.  I might get an XBox One or PS4 down the road, but the Wii U is going to give me a good 2-3 years at the very least.  I think the future is very bright for the console.
