So today was Nintendo direct broadcast focusing on the Wii U and it has to be the best one yet. I started to pay attention to these when I brought my 3DS but I have always been disappointed by the games and things they annouced, due to this I lost interest. Today was much better though, they annouced:

- New 3D mario game playable at E3 this year,
- New 3D mario Kartgame playable at E3 this year
- Remake of Wind waker in HD and payable on gamepad
- Annouced a NEW ZELDA :dance: :dance: to come in the future
- Virtual console with games at only 0.30p to start with

Loads more too but these are my highlights

CHECK IT OUT HERE

Im really excited for Wind waker and new zelda, did you guys see it, what are your thoughts :yeah:

just finsihed watching it.
Exactly what i was expecting and hoping for.
They understand the need to re-assure the public that a lot of awesomeness is on it's way but still refuse to rush-release.
One of the reasons i love Nintendo!

The VC Trial looks very promising (super metroid for 30 cents!) and so does the extension of Wiiverse functionality, also to VC games.
Wind Waker HD is a big surprise - i expected a VC version of an older Zelda but not this - but the new Zelda is a given of course.
But they did hint at making it more sandbox-y and online multi-player and that could be very good if done right.

Good to know Mario Kart Wii U is almost playable, i expect it to hit the shelves before the year is over.

Thanks for the link, buddy1983.

So we only have to wait until E3 in mid June to see Mario Kart Wii U in playable form, AWESOME! :w00t:

The announcement of a new Zelda had the effect on me that I had already assumed it would: It makes a WiiU much more desirable to me than before. Still, I'll wait until I see more about it and if the console is cheaper in a few years then maybe I'll snag one. Hard to make that decision based on only one game, though. And my mind is pretty much made up about the next gen of consoles. Ah, dilemma.

Yeah, you can (and should!) download Balloon Fight now.
Awesome little game, simple but frustratingly hard and quite addictive.
And a 30 cent introduction price is a very nice gesture to the early Wii U adopters
Can't wait for Super Metroid and F-Zero!!!

January: Balloon Fight
February: F-Zero
March: Punch-Out Featuring Mr. Dream
April: Kirby's Adventure
May: Super Metroid
June: Yoshi
July: Donkey Kong

Yes. One game per month, limited 30 day offer.
After that, the price goes up

Really pleased about Yoshi Yarn and the VC. Not really into RPG's so both them titles were not really that exciting for me. I expected MK, 3D Mario and a tiny bit of smash to be at E3 so none of it really came as a surprise. The new zelda game taking forever I also expected. WW though was a pleasant surprise and its nice to have a Zelda to play soon. Still not one of my personal top Zelda games, although I do like the cell shading. I was hoping for Starfox, Fzero or wave race to be announced.

Still I love Nintendo Direct, glad the OS updates are coming and look forward to more games.

Not happy about PAL 50hz issue again.

Thanks for that list mark. Downloaded balloon fight yesterday and spent some time with it. A nice little game from back in today. Looking onward to the rest and certainly looking forward to those future releases that coming this year. The Wii U is shaping up nicely. :dk: :dk:
