They've been talking about launching a N64 type system in China for years. They have to make it old and cheap to compete with knock-offs.
Oh cool, I've been wanting to know what some good Wiiware exclusives were.TBH there are very few good Wiiware exclusives (at least 100%), but here are the ones I would recommend that are mostly exclusive:
LostWinds 1 and 2 (they recently fixed the issue in the past where you couldn't port it over to Wii U)
Castlevania the Adventure ReBirth (also remakes of Contra and Gradius too, these are 100% exclusive)
Bubble Bobble Plus! (Technically exclusive, though they came out with a similar Neo version on 360 later on)
Fluidity (Was available as a free CN reward twice now, but if you haven't played it, do so, its probably the best 100% exclusive Wiiware game)
Moto Heroz (expensive, but the closest thing to Trials on the Wii)
La Mulana (its out on the PC as well though, still worth it for 1000 points and mostly exclusive)
Jett Rocket (probably the only really good exclusive 3D platformer on there)
This is in addition to the mainstays that aren't exclusive but still worth it (Megaman 9 and 10, escapeVektor, Swords and Soldiers, And Yet It Moves, etc.), as well as tons of puzzle games (too many to mention here). I'd mention the Bit.Trip series, but its a much better idea to get the dirt cheap Bit.Trip Complete compliation by now.
I would also recommend getting certain VC titles like Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and Monster World IV if you haven't already.
I'm curious what this will be like. It might sell in the U.S. if it is cheap enough, but better than a stripped down model of the Wii.Nintendo is planning to launch a new console probably next year.

That is only in emerging markets where they are not currently, such as China. Nothing new in the US or other markets. The conference yesterday in Japan, Iwata stated they are not abandoning the current base of Wii U owners, that they are turning a profit on their Wii U and that they announced some NFC setup and characters similar to Skylanders. So your hopes of another new system for now are blowing in the wind. 2017 is the earliest we will see a new system. And it will not be a dedicated console. Those days are numbered. It will be related to the QOL company they just invested 100 million into, the interchangable controller patent, and the rumor of "Fusion". That is what it will be. They simply are going into the QOL business, not just gaming. The other two are doing the same. They are all vying for your entertainment dollar.Nintendo is planning to launch a new console probably next year.

The term "Pokken" has been trademarked, so it is real, sorta.Pokken, if real, sounds like it'll be similar to Tekken. Considering they'd both be by Namco, I could see that. If it's like Pokemon x Tekken, then I don't even know what to say.
Funny and here I am thinking that list is way too good to be true as it would mean I wouldn't need a PS4/X1 any moreZelda being open world would be tough to miss, but I knew that would be the one game I'd really miss when I sold my Wii U a couple months ago. The rest doesn't interest me at all.
I can see it now, pay real cash for upgrades! It's the FTP model. Just think, for ONLY $4.99, you can pay real cash for a piece of plastic in the shape of a sword!Funny and here I am thinking that list is way too good to be true as it would mean I wouldn't need a PS4/X1 any more.The Monolith Soft X (Xenoworld) game alone could justify my Wii U purchase all by itself. I hope they hit that one out of the park.

I edited my post, it was a joke because of the new NFC stuff they're doing.WTH are you talking about!?
Ah, the NFC stuff. Well, I am slightly interested in what they have planned for that with respect to Mario Party, etc. I figure it could be at least as interesting as Skylanders and such which my kids are really into. But that isn't high on my list personally.I edited my post, it was a joke because of the new NFC stuff they're doing.
X is my #1 also. It's way above Zelda or any other Nintendo game. I wonder if playing through Xenoblade Chronicles first is a must for X? I did have that game but sold it because I didn't like the SD graphics on my big TV. I've been thinking about giving it another shot but it's still like 50 bucks used which seems pretty stupid.Ah, the NFC stuff.

The X game is #1 of course, followed probably by FExSMT, then Zelda, the Retro Studios Game, and Starfox. In addition to Mario Kart and Smash Bros, that is all more than enough out of the Wii U through 2015. Throw in a few potential surprises: the Mario NFC, maybe Kirby, other unannounced and 3rd party stuff (hey, it could happen), and it seems like a pretty good lineup to me. All of that is certainly more appealing than what I see coming out for the PS4/X1 over the same time frame.
I don't see how they're a huge rip off. First of all, you can complete the game(Story mode) with the included figures (at least you can for Skylanders, not sure about D-Infinity. Second, you actually get a physical item that kids can play with.I edited my post, it was a joke because of the new NFC stuff they're doing.
I know you and a lot of other people love Skylanders/Infinity game/toys but I think those things are a huge rip off. I've never had a problem with day 1 DLC on disc but those games take it to a whole new level and if they force this sort of thing into virtually every game, that's going to be a huge disappointment.
Who said it was "forced"? It's a video game, how could it possibly be "forced"? They can't "force" me to buy anything. Simply because I'm not enslaved to Nintendo doesn't mean I can't dislike something.I don't see how they're a huge rip off.

And this isn't forced, if you don't like it you don't have to buy it.
Actually this was a reading error on my part, so I apologize for that. You are correct, you didn't state that it was forced at all. My bad.Who said it was "forced"?

Oh wait, you were stating the obvious in an attempt to say that if you don't like something you need to STFU and just not buy it. You are never allowed to say you dislike things!
until e3 when the big 2 showcase tons of great next gen games and both those systems are now only 100 dollers more. This is a huge e3 for nintendo in my opinion and with them having 3 areas on show floor they might be planning big things.Mario Kart embargo is over!! Almost every site has given it at least a 9! Wii U saved!!
If I can get a better job, I could help and buy the system. Seriously, I can easily spend $100 a month on just Nintendo games and eShop - this coming from someone who has never played Wii or N64.Mario Kart embargo is over!! Almost every site has given it at least a 9! Wii U saved!!
I just downloaded a bunch of games from there a few days ago and had no trouble at all.Is anyone else unable to get on the original wii's e-shop, I can connect but when I try to download something it just either goes at a snails pace or doesn't download at all.
Do you have a source to back this up?Nintendo has gone from, 2 years ago, 10.5 billion cash and the whole "Nintendo can make it till 2052 without making a profit" to 5.34 billion today. At this cash burn rate they can make it until 2016 before bankruptcy. That said, that burn rate won't be maintained because some of it was real estate purchases and stock buybacks though future buybacks are always possible if the shares continue to decline.
I guess we can assume that they'll show it off at E3? It sounds like you think they're just going to make a cheap Wii for foreign markets?I'd guess an emerging markets console would just be a cheap machine that played old games rather than getting new ones. Just something they could port existing games to easily. I'd say it would just be a digital VC machine. But limited broadband access in those markets would hurt that a lot.
They've already talked about their next console and portable sharing architecture. I'd guess so they could port their games to both rather than developing separate games for separate platforms. So I can't see them splitting their resources another way.
That would be my guess. I doubt they'll announce it at E3. Not like that gets much play in emerging markets. They'll focus on Wii U and 3DS.I guess we can assume that they'll show it off at E3? It sounds like you think they're just going to make a cheap Wii for foreign markets?
There's the rumor that Nintendo is announcing new hardware which could be this or that could be BS. Putting out a Wii seems possible but my understanding is that's what happens to all the last gen hardware that's traded in. GameStop collects 20 million Xbox 360's and sell them to companies that serve developing nations. They don't try to resell all of them here. In other words, Nintendo would be competing against preowned consoles, some of which play the same games.That would be my guess. I doubt they'll announce it at E3.

Maybe they want a cheaper/smaller model that has 3D?Isn't the 2DS basically the 3DS lite?
Is it just me or is that controller sorta ugly?This is what the emerging markets thing will be like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQue_Player
