Harvest Moon has been on every Nintendo system since SNES/GBC, so we'll likely get one eventually for Wii U.

What quarter meeting? The Fiscal Year Earnings Release (full FY 2013) is on May 7. The Record Date for Year-End Dividends for the 74th Fiscal Year is March 31.
What would they have to gain?

I wondering if Nintendo would do some sort of Club Nintendo promotion like the free Pokemon download code for Wii U? I was going to save the Super Mario 3D World code for that until I realized that my new Wii U was already registered on Club Nintendo.
They would have nothing to gain from that. They would have just said that they do not comment on speculation or rumors.

Quarter/Financial Year ends March 31st. Their end of year report will be May 7th, which iirc, will include the results for the quarter, presumably with an investor's meeting on May 8th.
No new game content in this one?
Might end up picking it up anyway just to support these guys depending on the price.

You have a solid library already and the games you've chosen to pick up are looking good, as well. If you're interested, New Super Mario Bros. U or Super Luigi U are also solid, as is Lego City Undercover. If you like Splinter Cell, try to find a copy of Blacklist. I thought it was an excellent version with decent GamePad use.
Game & Wario
Lego City Undercover
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Need for Speed: Most Wanted U
New Super Mario Bros. U
New Super Luigi U
Rayman Legends
Resident Evil: Revelations
Scribblenauts Unlimited
Scribblenauts Unmasked
Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition
That means it's not SMT x FE, otherwise Intelligent Systems would be mentioned too right?

I think only Nintendo would be mentioned in that case.

It still exists. Just announced very very early.
I agree.
that doens't mean that the guy is reliable/right, but he was clear with hints: when Nintendo will announce new games (within now and E3 I think) if there will be no game matcihng those hints, we'll know that he was unrelilable.
btw, honestly, aside all the doom and gloom...justified even, about the Wii U, I wouldn't be surprised in seeing a new game developed by a Japanese developers published by Nintendo.
Could even be Fatal Frame, let's say.
And I would be happy

Mass Effect 3 is dirt cheap now. If you haven't played and have no other way to play the series, pick it up. Splinter Cell is great too, and can be found pretty cheap now.
Lego City Undercover is a game that will NEVER be on a sale, it seems
But then again, nobody ever answered me this: Is LCU just another Lego Game, in the sense that if you die you just respawn without losing anything?
Because really, i think lego games are pathetic because of this. What´s the point if there´s no challenge?
I asked the same question about Marvel Lego Whatever and Lego Movie. Nobody at gaf ever answer it to me.

It's Lego Grand Theft Auto with a lot of exploration and use of new abilities. I put a good 40 hours into it and greatly enjoyed the writing of the main missions. About the only negative I can think of is some of the loading times.
In that sense it is.
In the sense of mission structure, level design, its not; its grander.
can you describe the gameplay in mass effect a bit for me? for some reason I passed on that series because I thought it wasn't for me but I can't really recall why. also if I haven't played the first 2 could I still play 3 without any problems? thanks

It's a Nintendo game. Sales on those are rare, remember?
LEGO City is big on exploration. You can't go 10 feet in the City without finding something to do.
I would never recommend doing this to anyone.
It's RPG (you can increase the stats and abilities of you party but it's combat is that of a third person shooter with cover elements. You have abilities you can use during combat. You mainly control the character Shepard who can be a human male or female. Your party members are controlled by the game but you can manually trigger their abilities. They can hold their own most of the time as well (will use their abilities) and will use cover. You can also direct them in combat in a limited fashion by telling them where to move to or to come back to you.
Mass Effect 3 has a interactive comic that allows you make decisions based on past events. It's a presented by way of the main character reflecting on past events and told in the first person. Minor events aren't covered though. Events of Mass Effect 1 are covered the best. It's limited for events that took place during Mass Effect 2. It was possible to do everything in that game and get a positive, but required you to do things in certain ways. The Mass Effect 2 section of the comic doesn't account for that. Some things are left out in terms of side characters that were optional as well. So they don't show up in Mass Effect 3 I believe.
Having played through the trilogy on PC (went that route because it was super cheap during an amazon sale. Otherwise I would have just gotten the Wii U version.) and seeing the comic I think it's fine. It does a decent enough job to explain past events and characters. There won't be as close of a connection having not played the first two games. However those that say you "MUST" play the other two to understand what is gong on or to get an emotional pay are wrong I feel. There is a lot that goes on during ME3 that can make you connect with the characters. Some history is loss but nothing that should interfere with enjoyment of the game. Also each game has entries about the entire universe and events in the journal. ME3 is no different. So a lot of the information is there for you to read up on if one chooses.
So its that a yes? Infinite lives and die/respawn right at the same place without losing anything? Is that a yes?
I don't know, I never "died" in LCU ;]
It's not the kind of game you play to survive challenges, it's the kind of game you play to collect challenges... It's more about the exploration et collection than the challenge. don't play it if it's what you're searching for. 101, if you didn't play it yet, is the better game for it.
So, yes.
Thank you!
As we can see, it was a hard answer to get that´s why i was so annoying about it. But as you all explained it has more to do with the game´s structure
The point of most Lego games I've found is not challenge but fun. Which is why they're enjoyed by such a wide range of people. This is one thing that Lego City Undercover excels at more then most if not all other Lego games. It's a LOT, LOT, LOT of fun. From the levels which while not overly challenging are fun experiences even when you back to them as there are different things you can do in them as you get new disguises to general exploration of the city which is really big to the story which is original and genuinely funny on a number of levels.
There are some platforming sections in most levels and in the city itself that do require a bit of skill but aren't too off putting. The bridge scaling being the most challenging and the most rewarding.
It's a Lego game so yes you have the respawn where you died, infinite lives, etc. However I don't feel that should be something to causes one to bypass the game. It's one of the best games on the Wii U. I'm talking top 5 worthy.

Yep.
You lose some points but yes, that's definitely what happens. That said I agree with everyone else that there's so much to explore and find that the game is still great. Just don't go on expecting to be impressed by the combat.
thanks for the responses! this game does not sound like it's for me haha. I remember why now when you described it

Has a nice aesthetic, kinda reminds me of a PC-Engine platformer. From how far off it is I can probably say I'm down.
Says Q4, so it's still at least 5 months away.

You can't seriously be recomending Mass Effect 3 to a person who hasn't played ME1 and ME2...

Darksiders 2 is pretty great. It has awful screen-tearing, but the $20 price tag on the eShop makes it a nice get.
