Shoving it off to another conference makes me pessimistic about our chances of seeing Paper Mario this year.  Please surprise me yet again, Nintendo!

I'd pay $350, if it has the games I want.  I do hope they have more memory for downloading games, though, at that price, so I don't have to buy external memory at launch.

I'm a little bummed at the strong implication that I'll have to buy a new Pro controller and not use the Classic Controller Pro I already have, even though it plugs in fine to the Wii mote that is compatible.  I hope I just took it pessimistically and am wrong.

I think the most important question is how this will affect our Bingo cards.

Oh, man.  I wanted Paper Mario this year.  It was to be my first anniversary gift.  What's he gonna get me now, a Prima guide?

I'm glad to hear it isn't that hard to program for.  While I don't just want ports of games on other systems, maybe this will help stop the whole, "on everything except Wii" thing that's gone on for the last few years.  How long it lasts will depend on how big a step up the next gen for Sony and Microsoft are, but for now, I'm optimistic.

I had the same problem with Okami on Wii, and gave up playing after a couple hours.  I may try Okamiden, but it sounds like it had it's own problems, so it's not high on my list.

So I'm not the only one who's been wondering what happened to LEGO City Stories.  I thought it was just me.

Thanks for your thoughts and updates!

TalkBack / Re: Wii U to Have $300 Price Tag, Simultaneous Tablet Play?

« on: May 11, 2012, 11:23:19 AM »

Support of multiple Wii U tablet controllers would be great.  I remember having a lot of fun playing Crystal Chronicles and Four Swords with friends using our GBAs back in the Cube days.

That said, to me, the picture looks like a Wii U controller and a Wii controller, not two Wii U controllers.  And it's hard to imagine a $300 machine having the power to simultaneously send decent displays to an HD TV and multiple touch screens.  But I've been wrong before, and would happily be wrong again.

TalkBack / Re: Blockbuster UK Hints at Wii U Games?

« on: May 10, 2012, 09:52:57 AM »

Hey, what happened to Lego City Stories?  Admittedly, recent Lego games haven't been as good as the Star Wars ones, but it's one of those things they mentioned last year that I wanted to hear more about this year.

Yes, yes, I know.  Just a list put together by a bored Blockbuster employee.

I thought it was great!  I hope it isn't too terribly difficult to put together, and that it will survive in some form, at least during the big news weeks around E3 and other events.

I'd be interested in hearing what this document looked like when the Cube was on the way out and the world was waiting to hear what would be on the Wii.  Was there one, lonely GCN game listed April 2006?

I tried to get my significant other to play Kirby Air Ride last night.  Oh boy, was he mad!  I'm not sure why; he wanted to try it because he heard it was awful.  I personally still think City Trial was fun, so long as there were people to play with.

I really want a giant Kirby plush!  Oh, and I guess an NOA Nintendo Direct would be nice, too.

I couldn't find any reference to it on the Club Nintendo front page, but I got it using the link in the Source line.  Just sharing in case anyone else was lost like I was for a minute.
