Closest thing to Mario Strikers.

I may just get that Yoshi game now.

 

[Garro]

Why are people wondering if Mario Maker 3DS will have online. Didn't they say you could play WiiU's 100 Mario Challenge but you won't be able to search for individual levels? Or that "some" WiiU levels won't be playable in 3DS.

Well they are really trying to kill the WiiU with the NX release, I guess that means we will get Splatoon or Bayonetta soon next year haha.

 

[Harsky]

I guess they spent too much money on creating the assets for the Wii U game that they're willing to downgrade for the 3ds just to pad out the releases until the NX.

official pokemon video for the new info

 

[Erikku]

Ninty's a sellout now lol

But that poochie amiibo is freaking adorable

 

[Chary]

But can we just hold on for a moment and realize

ANIMAL CROSSING DIRECT THIS FALL

hype train, let me board

 

[solsolis]

Oh awesome! New Pikmin game. Oh it's a side scroller. Oh..o..okay Nintendo thh-ats cool I guess.

 

[DarkenedMatter]

Why is everyone acting like they don't know who Bill Trinen is all the sudden?

every one knows bill, the donut guy.

 

[LightyKD]

Fuck this! This was basically: "Nintendo Direct: Fuck Wii U Edition". Ugh! Two Wii U exclusives gone to 3DS and with more content. This kind of crap makes me annoyed with the 3DS and worried about the NX.

 

[AydenTheKilla]

So i guess itll be z moves and aloha forms. Instead of mega evolutions?

 

[Ev1l0rd]

Well, I'm pleasantly suprised that they did announce some new games (and ported Mario Maker to the 3DS). Still gives me some hope that they won't kill off the 3DS anytime soon. I am sorta miffed by the Skyward Sword announcement as it was the only Wii U announcement in a Direct focused on the 3DS. But still, I'm excited.

my friends dad who works at Nintendo said the 3DS will get splatoon and bayonetta too.

[zoogie]

Picross 3D on the 3DS finally
Loved it on the DS.

Lmao nice pic. Maybe I'm just old school and believe in not screwing over your console owners because, ya know, a console is an investment that most families don't take lightly. Nintendo has done nothing but slap Wii U owners in the face this entire generation.

 

[VashTS]

i screamed YEEEEESSSSSSSSS when i read mario maker. that was nintendos biggest mistake in recent history. it should have had a dual release for wii u / 3ds. now that the hype is down for the game, its not going to sell as well as it could have.

 

[KJ1]

Super Mario Maker Oh Yeah! @MarcusD

I know man. Me and my dad grew up playing mario. I bought him a wii u 2 Christmases ago. Paid 249 for the deluxe and watched my dads eyes glow like a kid when he opened it. Then got sad cause theirs only like 3 games we can play together... 3d world. New super mario. And yoshi. He cant play games where you move a camera.. Waited and waited for more support and nothing. It was honestly a cool idea and they shat all over it. Now they expect us to go ham for the NX??? Yeah right... I fell for wii u.

Okay, and if there was a dual release for 3DS huh? That won't help wii u sales at all since there is another option. System EXCLUSIVES is what sells systems! Everyone bought wii u for New super mario bros wii u, Bayonetta 2, Mario kart 8, Super smash bros, and splatoon, or somemthing i assume. But if all those games are already on 3DS, a already conveinent console, no one would consider getting a wii u to play it on. It gives less of a reason to buy it. Or even have them produce it for that system. Is pointless. Sure it be nice to play any game out there all on multiple system but that won't help people as much if they can't sell their products. More exclusives the better chances consoles have of selling.

I agree with you, after paying over $380 For my Deluxe edition launch day console, with no ambassador type compensation like 3DS price drop, i can't deny this statement. Right now they are focusing on cash ins for 3DS, Which from business standpoint is good, for them but bad for consumers. They are less concerned with wii u and more focused on 3DS. Is clear as day that is true. To be honest it may sound dumb, but if Wii u had maybe gamecube support by backwards compatibility, or Virtual console or even HD compilations it would been a better console seller, Even a 3DS player type accessory like the SNES super game boy or Game cube Gameboy player. Maybe played DVD or Music. It would been a better contender. So far the lack of trying too add more features was focused on uncommon gameplay controls. With the gamepad, it was probably designed to be part of some mobile device test for what NX may also be trying to aim for a second time and i hope not. Make a GAME CONSOLE, Make EXCLUSIVE CONTENT and stop making DOWNGRADE PORTS. Find a way too do the Game cube with GBA games on WII U with 3DS would have probably been like "Wow, that good they actually thought about that."


@Chary Nice report by the way. Cause i didn't watch it as i just woke up, but now i don't have to, is properly presented well to know all i need in less than required time to watch or skip through the parts of the video.

I still had hoped for 3DS or wII U port of Sonic Mania But seem like one disappointment too many. You and me both woman.
