I like unannounced surprises, I hope we hear about some by the end of the month and others at E3
I'm wondering if Nintendo will do an unload this month like last year.
While saving really just Zelda for E3.
Nice! Nintendo Land is extremely underrated.
I'm really hoping so. And then we could get a huge 3DS direct like last year, too. Was that February or April? I can't recall, but there was a big one for 3DS last year too.
As most of us recall, Satoru Iwata did mention there were unannounced games they held back on revealing during E3 2013. So far, they've since revealed Hyrule Warriors and some filler software with NES Remix and Dr. Luigi.
Here's his statement from late June 2013:
It just makes you wonder if anyone of that new software will be something substantial when we already know of around 7 or 8 titles currently confirmed for release this year.

At the time, I always thought he was referring to then-unannounced Wii U titles which would hit in 2013, like Wii Sports Club and NES Remix.
I think he made another statement on a different occasion about that 2013 software. However, he could have still been referring to that software too given the estimated time frame of their release.
So I picked up Need for Speed today. Actually used from Best Buy. I knew they had a few copies but hadn't been able to get to the store until today and even then I had to be really quick. Luckily I saw that it was priced down to $15 on BestBuy.com so I was able to price match it. Now I sort of feel like I should have gotten this a long time ago. It certainly seems like it was worth the full or near the full price. Oh well. This is one game I'm going have to put in the time to learn when it comes to driving. Maybe I should just focus on one car and stop changing all the time.
Was going to rebuy Black Ops 2 but couldn't pull the trigger. Same with Ghosts. There were reasons I got rid of them. If I get them again I feel I might be fine for a week or a few days/hours only to remember why I parted with them in the first place. I would get Splinter Cell but no clue if people still play that and the population is going to be even lower then Call of Duty. If the Wii U continues to get games like this, somehow, I hope they include more content that can be played solo over and over again while staying enjoyable.
For those tat have played it, does Splinter Cell offer experiences like that? The missions, co-op mission being done solo, etc? If only that game had bots for the spies vs mercs. Or does it?

I bought NFS day 1, full price. Biggest mistake i made regarding WiiU. No local MP and no manual shifting killed this for me. The two best things about other Criterion arcaderacers, stripped out. I've put in about 20 hours since then, feeling more like a chore than having fun, because the game otherwise lacks soul, and i just wanted to get "something" out of it having paid full price. I tried to sell it the day after i bought it, with 33% off the full price, but apparently i wasn't the only one that didn't want the game, so i ended up keeping it. Also because there weren't many new games coming out on WiiU. Haven't touched this in months. I can understand no local MP (due to system resources) but i don't understand no manual shifting. I can't imagine it having been that much extra work.

The longer I own this thing the more I realize that I think I just bought it to play Smash and (mostly) X. Also SMT x FE, but I don't know anything about that yet. I just want a story trailer for X.... >_<

All right all right, I'll share.
480K < Wii U < 482K

I wonder if Ubisoft still thinks it was a good idea to postpone Rayman Legends on Wii U. With the hype it had and the drought coming it could have reached at list LCU levels. And they could have ported later on PS360 in the same way they are doing it now with PS4 and Xbone. I also wonder if the PS360 sales even cover the additional 6 months of development.

It clearly wasn't a good decision. That's probably why they are hoping people pick up for PS4 and XB1. In all honesty, I highly doubt they will. In this "rerelease" of Legends, the timing is much better (the PS4 and XB1 don't have much until March), but I think it's the wrong platforms. We'll see.
From those sales numbers I see why Lego games have continued to be announced on Nintendo's platforms. They actually seem to have established a decent-sized fanbase on Wii U and 3DS (like 200K each). I also expect Monster Hunter 4 to be localized and brought to the West considering how well MH3U on 3DS did. Even the Wii U version didn't do terribly. It's about half the (low) Japanese MH3U sales lol.
Thanks for the NPD numbers! Yes, Ubi did the wrong choice with Rayman.
On another topic :
So daakusedo provide me with the link and yes, the guy discovered this third party Wii U exclusive 2 years ago, which is not contradictory with his recent tweet (he was in Japan and could have heard about it again). Also, he says the game is "not a system seller".

Oh boy, can't wait for the Bone4 bomba. If it sold that badly on PS360, it will sell horribly on the other platforms.
They should've released the game in March, port it to the other consoles and release a free update with the extra stuff for Wii U later. But no, they had to send it to die.

Disheartening to see the low sales numbers of Resident Evil Revelations for the Wii U. I love that game! I'm addicted to Raid Mode right now. I guess that's the end of Resident Evil on the Wii U. :/
I also got the Wii U Need For Speed game. Beautiful graphics, fun gameplay, but I am just terrible at controlling the cars at high speed. I can't win any races!
I'm surprised at the amount of racing games I want for the Wii U. I am intrigued by Project Cars (for now, I need to know if it's actually good and fun to play) and 90s Arcade Racer. Of course I can't wait to play Mario Kart 8!

RE:R on Wii U has low sales but look at the PS360 numbers and it's not that much less considering the have such gigantic install bases. It bombed way harder on there. Look at the context, not the numbers.
I absolutely hated NFS:MW. And that comes from someone that played every NFS to date. It's mostly an uncontrollable mess with constant crashes. I played it probably 5 times and sold it. The port is great though, the game itself is horrible in my opinion. I only bought it because I needed a good racer...
You can play virtually all the co-op missions solo and it never feels like you're missing anything in the experience
You need to play more and upgrade your cars handling. Most cars control badly until you upgrade them, that's the whole point, you can upgrade the handling or each car like 4 or more times with better Tyres, suspension, chassis etc.
Turn off traffic if you're struggling and remember to brake whilst accelerating at the same time to enter a drift around a corner. You can also coast and brake around corners. The best handling car is the Mercedes, try to stick to the Al or SL, can't remember the name. It takes about two hours to get the controls of the game down, but once it clicks, it works really well.
I thought so too at first, but I'm willing to bet that nearly 100% of Wii U owners are also 3DS owners, and that a large % of those people who were interested in Revelations had already played it on the handheld.
You're very late to this party
Resident Evil has a strong history with Nintendo platforms by now. It would be silly to assume that a late multiplat port of a previously also Nintendo-exclusive RE title which did okay would suddenly determine the series' future for Nintendo systems. That doesn't mean RE7 is a safe bet, though. As long as it's not a lightgun shooter or a tower defense game lol. (zombie tower defense, has anyone thought of that yet?
)He also said there are other exclusive games coming from japanese studios, so 2014 would be the year we see the results.
Do they seem not legit to you? I really wasn't sure. Lots of good ideas in there. I'd love to see a new Starfy...who knows if it would even come to the West though.
Just to clarify, I have notghin against you or the other user that posted those "leaks", but...
I think that the only Nintendo related real concrete leaks are the Nikkei ones.

Has a leak from /v/ ever turned out real? Honest question.
The author certainly took pains to be grounded with those rumors.
edit: First time through, I overlooked "diggersby is tom nook of pokemon crossing." Even if that becomes fake, that laugh is worth it. If it becomes real, the eternal laughs will be better.

Oh, I wasn't offended. I really have no idea if they're real. They sound real in parts, but I honestly do not have a lot of experience with these leaks so I wasn't sure.

Hope those leaks are true - would LOVE a new Pushmo game on the WiiU.

The Metroid has me very interested. Oh and awesome username btw.
It has been rumored. That's also why it's there. Whoever made those "leaks" just threw in every rumor from the past year or two and added a few safe bets. Not worth discussing in my opinion.

Please be real. PLEASE.
Is the image link not working for you? I can probably summarize the image if need be.
You very well could be right. It's too bad because that would be quite a spectacular lineup of games if true.
Please do
Best course of action: Consider them complete bullshit and be surprised if any of them turn out to be true.
A lot of it is random nonsense pulled form interviews and old rumors and safe bets mixed with stuff everyone wants.
It is very simple to leak about Nintendo.
Due to the fans attachment to the console, due to the lack of continuos support and due to the various IP portfolio they have, there are rumors everywhere.
Collect them all (LOL) = leaks
Every game listed there was rumored separately before, with some very safe additions both about games and "tips" (flipping table at Zelda team because of WW and ALBW, when WW was done in less than 6 months, recycling a lot of assets and storyboard and mechanics, while experimenting with the new one?)

NP!
Just because I don't really know how legit this is, here are the games it rumors coming out later this year: Pokken Wii U, Pokemon x Animal Crossing 3DS 2015, Seaman 3DS, Glory of Heracles 3DS, Metroid Fracture 3DS, Custom Robo eShop, Starfy eShop, TGC Battle Wii U, Rhythm Heaven: 3Dance, X is Xenodoll, Steeldiver Subwars launching after ND, Mii for Smash 4, Crashmo sequel by IntSys for Wii U eShop, Dillion Wii U eShop, MK8 4/3, Zelda U is a mess and Miyamoto had to intervene and it uses a 2 screen secret discovery gimmick, SNES Remix is possible, old and new guards are disagreeing over HD.
Sounds lame, so it can be real. Thanks bro.
No prob amigo.
Okay, to get things back on topic: for Nintendo Land lovers like myself, what is your favorite minigame and least favorite minigame in the overall game?
