SideQuesting.com -

"Thanks to the coming school year and Fall, the build up of marketing begins for the Holiday season. Not to be left out, Nintendo is sending out Wii U marketing materials to retailers this week, both in-store and online. We've verified with a few local GameStops and Walmarts that they are receiving some manner of marketing packages from the Big N."

Cant wait. Next gen begins and the xbox and ps to follow. But Ninty will always be my favourite child.

Hisiru4296d ago

Well, I know I will enjoy all the 3 consoles without any favoritism.

xflo3604296d ago

looks like were getting the black one at launch then! yes!

remanutd554297d ago

i'm excited to play ZombiU and to see what is the future of Nintendo Network, cant wait!!!!

Muffins12234296d ago

Games that have to be made for it:
Kirby AirRide 2
Super smash bros
Mario kart double dash and Mario kart
Animal crossing
and of course a zelda game :D

HarryMasonHerpderp4296d ago (Edited 4296d ago )

Don't you want anything new for a change?
Don't you get bored of the same games every gen?
I'm hoping for some new IPs for the Wii U

PopRocks3594296d ago (Edited 4296d ago )

I can't speak for Muffins but I can say yes to your questions for myself. That said, we only get a Kirby Air Ride, F-Zero or Star Fox only so often. Franchises like those I'd love to see in HD.

ipe4297d ago

Might get it when zelda hits without motion stuff.
Just dont find their other ips interesting since gamecube

remanutd554297d ago

i know what you mean but have you seen ZombiU gameplay videos? it does look appealing to me, anyways im excited to play wiiU zelda too and i will be getting Zelda Skyward Sword when i get my wiiu because i havent played it yet, you think Nintendo will release full wii or wiiU games digitally?

ChunkyLover534296d ago

Looking forward to it. Who would of thought when current gen hit back in 2005 that the Wii would dominate the way that it did? Now Nintendo kicks off a new generation and I'm excited to see where it goes. Nintendo could have a hefty console lead by the time Microsoft and Sony release new consoles.

ZombiU looks tight!

YoungPlex4296d ago

I was wondering when the adds would pop up! Lets get the marketing rolling and generate some new buzz...

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest323d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

__SteakDeck__322d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic323d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh322d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51323d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos322d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz322d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183322d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07809d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad809d ago (Edited 809d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07809d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad809d ago (Edited 809d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212809d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX809d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX809d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
