I've never actually seen Fire Emblem gameplay until today it looked pretty rad and I'll probably get it, Monster Hunter too. Those and HD Tingle were the highlights of todays Direct, now its time to slink back into bed and dissolve into slime for another 8 or so hours.

E:downloadable half price punch out too

So the Wii downloadable titles will be half price the week of their release? Good time to grab one of those discounted eshop cards at best buy I guess.

Edit: it was yesterday only! Damnit.

Fire Emblem: Awakening is one of the best games on the 3DS. You should get it as soon as possible.

Yeah, that really would've worked amazingly as a stinger.

Great direct, but started off strong and got weaker as it went on.

Last February's Direct had a similar issue - opened with Little Mac in Smash and then everything else after seemed kind of dull from such a hype reveal to start.

That was yesterday only, but thankfully I picked one up yesterday. Can't wait to eventually get Radiant Dawn and Kirby's Return to Dreamland.

They probably didn't want to end with Fire Emblem because it probably won't have any N3DS features.

so if I already own PunchOut and Galaxy 2, does this mean I still get the Offscreen support or do I need this *new* digital version

So galaxy 2 and metroid trilogy don't actually support the classic controller right?

Bummer playing both those with proper pro controller support or even game pad would be sick..

It's weird that they didn't announce a GCN virtual console. I can't imagine they can got digital Wii games working in Wii U mode and not GCN games.

Nah they're probably just straight disc dumps, which makes playing on the gamepad pretty pointless for those games.

I feel like they always announce these awesome features that are just not quite were I want them. I have all these games on disk still so nothing to see here move along. I would've bought second copies of galaxy and metroid at a higher price than this if they just added real game pad support.

I love how they announce that the gamepad could be used as a classic controller and proceeded to not announce anything with gamepad support.

Both games rely pretty heavily on the Wii remote though, how would that work?

These aren't meant to be remastered versions for people to rebuy... These releases are great for people who didn't buy the original print and want to play awesome games without a huge used game markup.

Nah, I am, too, especially since I never had Prime Trilogy and soon I'll be able to get it for a shockingly low price. I dunno if the games will be getting a proper bump to 720p, but that would be great if they did.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is the best part of the Wii game thing since that's been hard to find at a decent price for a while now.

If not for Xenoblade 3DS that game probably would've been on Wii U download too.

Goons I slept late and jus tstarted watching the Direct a little while ago. I want to give Iwata a hug.


Also drat Nintendo for starting the Wii Game downloads. I don't actually have any of the 3 games announced and now I'm probably buying them all on release, due to the half off thing (Especially Metroid Prime Trilogy!)
