This question/article should go the way of the Segasaur.
My sentiments exactly. If the game is almost done, then they could potentially have a new Metroid ready for preview by E3 next year and have it released by late late 2014 or early 2015. Though admittedly that's pretty optimistic thinking.
Oy. I hate this ridiculous mystery anytime a new game meant particularly for generation seven is announced. Either it's on Wii U or not. Out with it already!
Paying for online is the least of the issues on Xbox One. And online is still free on PC and Wii U.
My thoughts are that Iwata is the kind of person who likes ot find a groove that works and then stick with it until it doesn't anymore, hence why the Wii moniker has stuck for so long. Wii U still has little in terms of software and games and it's probably because Nintendo is trying to see whether the core or the casual will go for it first.
That to me is frustrating because the core is looking for a reason to like the Wii U. I've seen it in these comments hundred...
"But when I get to an event an hour or so after it starts and join a huge line full of 40 or so hardcore Nintendo fans, only to find out that you have one Wii U console set up to demo four games to dozens of people, I get a little pissed off. Also, when I stand in a line for a half hour and it doesn’t move at all, something is up."
Evidently your kiosk had bad management, author. At mine, everyone was allowed 5 minutes max on their demos and on top of that, there wa...
With all due respect, I don't think it's fair to pin all the blame on Iwata. He's a face for the company, but that doesn't mean he makes all of the decisions. Many if not most major companies have a team of board members who choose the direction of the entire company. A President may indeed have input, but often they are just a face for the public to interact with.
Furthermore, Iwata has been involved with Nintendo software since the NES days; he has stellar t...
Still in development. This was announced earlier this year, remember? And the Wind Waker remake uses assets from the new Zelda.
That wasn't Team Ninja's fault. They just did the grunt work. If you want to blame anyone for that calamity, blame Sakamoto for being an ignorant twit.
That wasn't Retro, you tool. It was a developer called Monster Games.
"I wouldn't lie... ;)"
You've lied about me several times, you bunghole.
Considering you're already leaving a ton of comments on N4G about how disappointed you were in this conference, I don't believe for a second you own a Wii U. Seriously, no one is buying your bull.
I agree and disagree to a degree. Nintendo played it pretty safe and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they have more new announcements down the line somewhere; I expected much bigger announcements than a new Donkey Kong game (although hearing it's coming out this year is pretty awesome).
As for the new Mario game, I see it as a placeholder game for the real deal somewhere later in the generation. Nintendo clearly wanted a 3D Mario and they decided to tweak an alrea...
Oh, and because my comment apparently "looked like spam," here's the article for Wind Waker HD in 1080p.

Works for me. I mean Nintendo said 1080p games would come later, so I'm not exactly surprised.
EDIT: Three phantom disagrees already? Uhh, so I'm guessing we've forgotten when the Wii U was coming out Nintendo outright stated that 1080p games would come a while after launch? Even Wind Waker HD is in 1080p.
I really hate this agree/disagree/bubble system. I'm so glad that it's being changed.
@BoSSyndrome
I ...
Can't really disagree with your points at all. Superb blog, as usual.
Ah, my bad. I missed the quotes lol. Yeah, it's a bummer they didn't show it. I expected that too. :(
You know that means that after DK they could possibly go back to Metroid though, right? Works for me. This DK game is practically guaranteed to be awesome.
PS4/Wii U. Duh.
I mean I have spoken praise for the Xbox One games that they showed, but I'm not paying $500 for a console with those kinds of restrictions. I'll wait for several price drops and a Microsoft paid hooker first.
Absolutely. Having quite possibly the best online community system in any online Nintendo game and removing snaking so inexperienced players actually have a shot at victory is SO terrible. /s
Oh, and kudos for the lack of vehicular transformations, customization and coin system acknowledgements.
As far as I'm concerned, Mario Kart 7 is the best in the franchise and it will take more than pretty graphics to beat that one.
The title is misleading.
"The reason why the Wii U has lost the momentum it had during the launch period has something to do with the fact that Nintendo hasn’t been able to provide a strong software lineup, one game after the other, without too many intervals"
He's not saying the games are subpar, but the actual size of the library is insufficient. And frankly he's right. THIS is something Nintendo absolutely needs to rectify before too long...
