I was about to throw $120 at Nintendo for PIkmin 3 and Mario Kart 8, but they were nice and just made it $60. It's great that they don't actually want my money!

I hated Pikmin 1 and found Pikmin 3 to be a lot of fun. If you enjoyed the first two then Pikmin 3 should thrill you.

Nintendo's been hyping it pretty big in their directs, and it looks pretty well into development based on the footage they've shown. (as in, there's gameplay footage to show and not just clips from cutscenes and proof of concept stuff)

I think it'll probably come out. If you're that worried, just wait and pick a Wii U up after a release date for X is announced, since games aren't often cancelled after that point.

Considering how much they've shown for X so far I really doubt they'd cancel it but you may want to wait until E3 to see how much they highlight the game and get a feeling as to when it'll come out. Safe bet is 2015, which means you'll probably be able to find a WiiU for $100 by then.

Does this mean that everyone on the planet has an average of ~12 of the original Wii, and that, therefore, a family of four would have nearly 50 Wiis?

No, it's a portmanteau of Pokemon and "ken", which is "fist." "Tekken" is itself a portmanteau of "iron" and "fist" and combined using Japanese linguistic rules.

I don't understand why people even consider buying consoles for games that aren't even out yet. Like, why not buy the console and the game when the latter's released?

I dunno man. I really want to play X. Maybe this is my only chance to grab a Wii U that's not all hosed up in the back of the pawn shop for like $45. I loved Xenogears so much, and this looks like it is the true spiritual successor to Xenogears, just it is on an awesome system (compared to the ps1) and it won't have half it's budget stolen to fund FFVII.

If you were someone who loved the first disc of Xenogears and thought the whole game would be like that, you could understand why I'm afraid the game might be cancelled/the budget might shrink.

Buying a Wii U won't make X come out any faster. Plus it's not like the system is doing so poorly it practically won't exist a year from now, don't be so paranoid!

Sorry in advance if Nintendo or Monolith suddenly and tragically collapse in the near future.

Yeah. No one is buying the thing so you'll prolly be able to pick it up on clearance by the time Nintendo quietly cancels X for their new console like they did Kirby (multiple times).

your paranoia is really silly and based on the budget constraints of a 15 year old game (and not the more recent actually complete game that it is more directly related to) so I kinda hope it does get cancelled just because

jk I want it too and I'm reasonably confident it won't be cancelled :cool:

This is incredibly nitpicky, but "ken" isn't strictly "fist". Instead there are several spellings (or more accurately, several different kanji characters) of ken, which can mean things like sword, fist or even dog. Thank you Tales series for this very relevant information!

Wouldn't be too surprised if they do a game a month like last year with dates announced on E3, like
Sep. Hyrule Warriors
Oct. Bayo 2
Nov. game they announce with bigger appeal
Dec. X

Refurbished Wii Us from the Nintendo site are at 200 bucks, so i'd say it's good to wait until the game you want is out so they get even cheaper.

NSMBU's had DLC, Pikmin's had DLC, Mario Kart might have DLC, I think it's possible.

The Mario team said in April that they were already working on their next project, which could be the next game, so there might not be a DLC campaign, but we'll see.

It's gonna have figures, of course it's gonna have DLC. If it's like Mario Golf, each DLC Pack would come with 2 stages and a character, and a Season Pass to get all of them for cheaper with some bonus. I bet Mario Kart DLC will be the same way.

I hope they don't have much SSB dlc. I tend to not really like fighting game dlc if only because you can't really tell if you like a character until you've tried them out.
