Wonderful 101? Where is it

"There is a lot coming for Wii U in 2013" sure....:/

Wii U launch is seeming more and more rushed as the days go by.
 
This is what its come to....I'm watching a middle aged man holding a game controller talking to himself while wearing a helmet and swaying around.

If anyone was not aware if you have an Android phone you can do the 360 degree gyroscope view stuff with street view using the Google Maps app. I assume when Google gets that iOS app ready you will be able to do it there as well.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
"Can you believe it's been almost ten years since we announced Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and it still isn't out?"

Drought already, wow. Hope the inevitable Ambassador program appeases you guys. Not... really sure why Nintendo just didn't have software ready for a stable period after this already half a year delayed launch.

After they stopped releasing Wii games 1-2 years ago.

After seeing (I think it was) Iwata's comment about, Zelda would take all of our employees in Japan to make, it seems to me that Nintendo simply didn't plan for the transition to HD. After seeing so many other studios have this exact problem while they stuck in 480p for an extra gen, you'd hope that they'd learn from the mistakes of others and not repeat them. Oh well.

And the GameCube was a massive failure, so I'm not sure what your point is.

I'm out. If there's news to come from this ND, there'll be a thread on it.

As of now, it's been a waste of time. :(
