I bought Star Fox Zero because you can get it for $20 new - it's good! The controls really aren't nearly as bad as everyone says. Although to be fair to the critics - if I'd spent a full $60 on this thing I'd probably be a little grumpy.

Popping in a new wii u title makes me nostalgic for 2014 when nintendo was dropping lots REALLY good poo poo :(

2014 was a magical time. It'll be nice when soon enough Nintendo is back to announcing cool things again.

Spoilers, all they will do at their investor conference is say if the NX is on schedule or delayed. They aren't going to give any details until next year.

Eh, at this point Nintenda acknowledging the NX exists is a big deal.

Given the complete lack of news, either of those "announcements" would be newsworthy. I'd lean towards it's delayed.

Yep, I purchased mine after that as well and it was a great time. A real shame that e3 2015 was the inverse version of that and basically was the end. Oh well.

Can't forget Mario 3D World, Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad, or Mario Maker.

I'm working through some of my backlog, I just beat Kirby 64 the other night. I liked combining powers but I'm just not huge on Kirby games where the movesets don't have the same kind of depth Super Star and Triple Deluxe have.

I would probably buy TMs if it had off screen play, but I only have one tv in a house with a kid and a wife who also watch it, so I'd never be able to play through the game.

"pretty decent" tropical freeze is the best wii u game, edging out a pretty long list of already A+ games

Nobody's mentioned Pikmin 3 yet, which is a crime

Question about NX stuff: nintendo could probably reveal the thing two months in advance and scrape together enough marketing in that time. What do they gain by doing that, though? Why not announce it well in advance? Does anyone in this thread have a remotely plausible explanation?

Really Nintendo?

Really?

Your really doing this?

All I ask is a simple reveal of a huge investment of $200-$300 system to be shown a bit more than FIVE loving MONTHS BEFORE ITS RELEASED.

I need to plan my loving spending schedule, but no, you can't even give me that. You have to be so loving mean to me about me wanting to know what I'll be spending five months ahead of time.

I mean, what went wrong? I have supported you all my life. I have loved and cherished you, and when I like to plan exactly what I'm buying a year ahead, you can't even do that FIVE FUCKNG MONTHS AHEAD? ARE YOU loving SERIOUS??

Well this is it. All games I was gonna get paid off. Now I save. Save and sacrifice so many games I'll miss for a imaginary system that supposedly exists, yet theres no evidence of it existing. I will still believe in you even if it costs me Persona 5.

So now Nintendo, faith has evolved to full blind faith. So show it...please?

Love you, WiiRevolution1.
