As far as console launches go.... That's fairly badass. Not many in the way of outright exclusives, but still, leagues better than the 3ds or Vita, or even what I can remember of the Wii,Ps3 or 360.

Boy I hope that Miiverse stuff heads to the 3DS soon in some capacity!

Picked up a WiiU earlier in the week. Miiverse being the deciding factor. It's so stupid and dumb and fascinating.

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/07/17/pokemon-rumble-u-launches-in-north-america-this-august/ Looks like Pokemon Rumble U will come out stateside at the end of August. Each figure will cost $4 and the game will be $18.

What exactly do the digures do? Isn't the core of the game that you're collecting alot of those pokemon-toys by the truckload?

Also I guess this game sells, but holy poo poo, it's incredibly boring. Even at 18$ it sounds like way too much of a stretch.

That Ittle Dew game that's coming to the eShop later this year just released on PC and Giant Bomb have a Quick Look up if you want an idea of what to expect.

e: Spoiler: It has a real nice art style and plays like a 2D Zelda.

With this and the D&D Game (Among others), what takes the devs so long to get this stuff out? Is the WiiU really that much of a hassle to work on?

Didn't you hear? Nintendo's going ALL OUT with advertising and promotion now. Here comes their big second-half advertising push! Here it comes!





It's coming!

Is it weird they released a crazy hyped up trailer for a game they just... put out on the same day? (The Answer is Yes.)

If I cash in for those Club Nintendo Wii VC Games, can I play them on the Gamepad? Didn't the update allow Wii gameplay from the gamepad?

You can use the screen but not the controls, which will require a Wii Remote and a classic controller.

Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. Oh well!

So the Wii Fit Meter is out, but why is it impossible to find? I've checked most stores online and off, and I've got nothing. I suppose I need to wait until the actual physical release date?

I've got 10 bucks eshop credit and I'm totally torn.

On one hand I really like old school RPGs and would like to try out Earthbound. I just finished ff2 on snes for the first time and loved it. The only problem is I usually only play rpgs once through.

On the other hand I could grab Doctor Mario and Mario 3 and play those over and over again.

First world problems.

Earthbound has a real charm to it that really should be experienced, if you haven't before.
