I played a ton of Zelda: Minish Cap because my girlfriend has never played a 2D Zelda game and wanted to see me speed through it

also Mario Kart but that goes without saying.

Quoting this because loving lol

I played 4-player Mario Kart 8 on Saturday and it owned. We also played a few hours of Mario Chase, Luigi's Mansion whatever game, and Sketch in Game & Wario. Nintendo is the best.

No one cares whether you bought a Wii U, or have a general fondness of terrible gaming products. Fact is: The Wii U is an unmitigated flop; apparently Nintendo's executives aren't "smart businessmen".

Obviously, Nintendo's upcoming and half-finished-at-release fitness gimmick will save the company!

no one cares if people are suddenly buying the WiiU at quadruple the previous rate, we have already decided it is a flop and nothing can save it now!!!

the extra super hard bonus boss was really easy and I was surprised I beat it with little problem on my first run through of the game.

But they kept trying to link the game to Chrono Cross and uuugh stop it you assholes

My girlfriend and I bonded with Rayman Legends for the WiiU. She loved playing as Murphy. She also liked poking dudes in NSMBU. I don't think 3D World lets you play solo with someone on the game pad and that made her sad so she got really good at just barely missing platforms as Peach :v:

Their loss was a lot lower than previous quarters, proving that they are on an upswing. Once Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2 and Smash come out... :getin:

This next game will save the Wii U guys! Really!

One game performing well didn't save the system! Welp, pack it up Nintendo.

Nintendo is gonna kill it this holiday and by January 2015 they will be posting a profit again, mark my words.

Mario Kart 8 sold over 2 million copies and pushed the WiiU sales to over 500k in a month. If you don't think a Zelda game plus Smash and Amiibos aren't gonna push that even higher then welp,

I'd be willing to bet that a majority of the ~500k were in the last two days of May and the entire month of June.

That was right up until they pushed the Wii U early and made a very strange decision to release a new console with no actual games for it.

Ummm the WiiU had a really good launch lineup and was leagues ahead of the PS4 and XBone in that respect

drat i wonder why no one bought a wii u?>??

New Super Mario Bros U, Nintendoland and ZombiU all loving own. Lego City Undercover was also in the launch window and is fantastic. The XBone doesn't even have four good exclusives and it's been out for close to a year.

all those games are better than any exclusives on the XBone and they're not even top 5 games for the WiiU

We're only talking about launch games. Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8 and Wind Waker HD came later. WiiU supremacy

Also Donkey Kong, and Earthbound. Bayonetta 2 and Captain Toad coming out before the end of the year. The wiiU is gonna be the best Nintendo console if this keeps up, regardless of future 3rd party support.

Um you forgot Hyrule Warriors and Smash Bros.

The best ever.

Uh, that isn't the first Torneko game.



This was. Any game with "Mysterious Dungeon" in the title is based off Torneko's Great Adventure: The Mysterious Dungeon. Chunsoft has made over 25 of them and they're a long-running and popular franchise.

(Also The Last Hope got panned because it was a roguelike, not because it was bad.)

wait Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is based on this? Wow.
