You asked for predictions, so here we go!

First off, no we didn't talk about December sales data. It was still rolling out during recording time, and maybe there's not much left to say anyway until Nintendo announces a concrete response. So instead, we kick off this packed episode with a big slug of New Business. Jon brings our first coverage for Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Jonny checks out Two Tribes' RUSH for the Wii U eShop. Gui looks back to Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, while James peers deep into the well of Persona 3. Going back around, Jonny also tries the new Chibi-Robo demo, and Gui tries Spin Six from the current Club Nintendo download rewards.
Part Deux is a return to Listener Mail, and the first letter specifically asks for fresh 2014 predictions, so get ready for wrongness. We also discuss the history and adoration of game overworlds, get over our heads in the new Chinese console market, and ponder how Nintendo could match Sony's upcoming Playstation Now streaming service.
At the end of this episode, we announce that RetroActive Live will occur NEXT WEEKEND, on Saturday, January 25th. Specific time to come soon, but it'll be in the early/mid afternoon for our U.S. listeners -- and yes, Greg will be there to talk to YOU about F-Zero X and GX. Play either or both and bring your thoughts to this special live event! We'll have a page set up with the audio stream, chat room, and other useful info, so check back at NWR later this week for all the details.
A tip for James:
For P3's final boss, you will need an anti-charm accessory for your healer.
Super Mario Sunshine with new Luigi Mode
As for putting them on the eShop, how simple it would be would depend on how much they want to do with them. Nintendo tends to be a bit perfectionist in this regard, as evidenced by the lengths they go with Virtual Console releases.
Super Mario Sunshine with new Luigi Mode
Even though they're on different systems, they should bundle that with Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
What do you guys think iwata will say during the investment meeting? I have a wii u that i can return to the store and mow im debating if i should even though im enjoying the few games i have. Especially since i heard a rumor that watch dogs is cancelled for the wii u. Should i return the system and put it towards the ps4?Obviously, you should.
Yea im leaning towards that decision. I dont think $300 is worth a console with a few good games and a 3 year life span vs a 400$ more powerful console with the promise of hundreds of games and 5+ years of support.What do you guys think iwata will say during the investment meeting?

Game consoles are not about enjoying games, no sir.
They're all about what Iwata (thanks) will say on investor meeting.
I haven't reached the prediction portion of the podcast yet, but I did want to comment on the (brief) discussion of Bravely Default--can the completion time really be 30 hours when the demo takes almost ten to fully complete? If the full game is only 3x as long as the demo, I might be disappointed (as much as I am anticipating this game).
