Wii

Have to agree if it's DK it won't go down well. This is a great opportunity to reveal a major game and deflect some attention from the other 2 and give confidence to existing Wii U owners and potential owners. DK we all know about, it's a game by right should be already released but isn't because they need to fill a hole in the New Year. Revealing Cranky Kong will just be the icing on the cake, it's not even a surprise anymore.

Just be grateful they've hired people and have demo kiosks setup. There's none here in Ireland, plenty of XBONE ana PS4 kiosks all setup with games. Smyths had Wii U kiosks a long time ago but that was the one with about 20 videos and 1 demo (Rayman Legends). I've never seen HMV setup a Wii U kiosk. The other day they had FIFA on the PS4 and I guess it was Forza on the XBONE.

Sigh, will you ever learn You don't understand, it's still going to be Zelda

I don't need to http://mynintendonews.com/2013/12/06/game-informer-clarifies-that-nintendo-will-show-a-previously-announced-game-at-vgx/

Can we or should we have a prediction thread for what people thnk Reggie will reveal tomorrow at VGX? I'm going into hype mode with Zelda and if it turns out to be Wii Sports U Golf I'm going to burn the town down Seriously anything less besides Zelda or Metroid will be a disappointment and will have Reggie chased off stage. I think they want a similar reveal to Twilight Princess back in 2004. This will be an audience full of hardcore gamers so it has to be good. Edit: Also I think either Retro but more likely Monolith Soft will be involved in developing this game.

It's not just that, the DS has more than double the sales and Wii has nearly triple the sales despite not being really supported anymore bar a handful of games. Nevermind the competition absolutely pulverizing the Wii U.

I've been thinking how the English media will treat him in the run up to the World Cup.

Uraguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy. Good luck, not great for them but could have been worse.

http://mynintendonews.com/2013/12/06/uk-software-life-to-date-wii-u-650k-xbox-one-475k-ps4-75k-pre-launch/ Not good at all for Wii U, not even close.

The end of the fiscal year is the end of March I believe and that 5.5 million is what's the predicted total. That's absolutely miles off what Nintendo's forecast was. It's the best there is until NPD figures are available for the U.S and where else can European figures as a whole be got?

Damn it, I set up a account with GAME only to then try and buy this game and it's unavailable. Curse you GAME! Who the hell buys this game anyway? It's not even that good. Anybody else know who else is selling it at this price?

Hardware Numbers for Black Friday Week Are In! Wii U Does Well, 3DS Enters BEAST MODE Remember NA is the only region that has Black Friday, other regions will see a bigger Holiday boost later. PS4 launched this week in the EU. And all data besides data from JP is from VGC. WW: 3DS: 1,292,585 PS4: 955,435 PS3: 486,702 X360: 480,696 XOne: 401,035 Wii U: 274,179 Wii: 181,061 Vita: 156,486 PSP: 62,943 NDS: 60,746 North America (US): 3DS: 795,981 (756,326) X360: 422,484 (395,470) XOne: 330,810 (306,507) PS3: 312,961 (287,043) Wii U: 197,597 (188,493) PS4: 165,978 (161,311) Wii: 132,667 (124,176) Vita: 79,026 (75,688) DS: 50,823 (49,011) PSP: 7,607 (7,166) EU: PS4: 708,354 3DS: 338,146 PS3: 94,785 XOne: 56,909 Vita: 42,497 X360: 41,822 Wii U: 39,253 Wii: 36,674 PSP: 29,847 DS: 8,069 JP (taken from Media Create) 3DS LL – 82,409 Wii U – 28,518 3DS – 25,964 PlayStation Vita – 20,202 PlayStation 3 – 13,311 PlayStation Vita TV – 5,391 PSP – 4,232 Wii – 588 Xbox 360 – 309 Other notes of interest: Sales are down 421,937 hardware units in the US this year. Super Mario 3D World puts up another 144,709 in the US, bringing the US total to 387,902. Around 100,000 (+/-20K) of the Wii U sales in the US are from the NSMBU/NSLU bundle. This is the most the Wii U has sold worldwide since the week ending Dec 22nd 2012. Wii U lifetime sales are now at 4,366,262. Wii U WW sales are expected (well I expect it anyway) to rise (after a one week fall) as it get closer to Dec 25th, for a total of around 5.5 million Wii U's sold by the end of the 2013 sales year. For comparisons sake, the PS3 put up 157,949 units in the US on it's first non-launch black friday, while the 360 put up 240,843. So the Wii U's first non launch black friday--at 188,493--is in between those two.

Mince pies are a bit like You either love them or hate them. But mince pies make me

Just had a row with the ex(she's South African) on the phone before the news broke. Hadn't talked to her in 6 months, get off the phone and then the news came through minutes later that he'd died. I let her know. He was a great man, one of the few like Michael Jackson you remember where you were when it happened. Not a nice way to remember, then it never is. Anyway R.I.P. Nelson. You've left your indelible mark on this planet and the personification of peace.

X hasn't been shown since E3, it could have improved a fair bit in that time. Monolith Soft are graphic geniuses. Mario Kart has been shown around at various places. Not sure if they're still showing the same build or if they'll show an updated version. I'm all for a significant boost but when they say "new look" I'm kind of thinking it's a radical departure and I don't think either game falls into that category. It's vague, it could mean a few things. http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=218232 I'm now guessing "new look" could mean a HD upgrade of a Gamecube game. Could mean anything.

I'm not expecting much. At this point with Nintendo I don't expect anything. Sure it would be nice and I'd like to see Zelda but realistically it's not going to happen until E3. I did say other people on other forums have jumped on the hype train. So no, nothing has gone over my head.

Maybe I did, I don't remember. Doesn't matter because Majora's Mask 3D is coming. It's just not officially announced yet. You know it makes sense.

Mince pies are puke uppercut! Christmas cake and pudding are worse. Vile! Vile I tell you! Ye need help. But the most disgusting dessert of all time is Sherry trifle with sponge. I've a strong stomach and can eat almost anything but the smell of that alone makes me nauseous. I still remember it as a child, bad memories. The thing is all the ingredients on their own are lovely except for Sherry but when their powers combine they become the most putrid concoction on this good Earth.

Reggie would get laughed off the stage if they announced that. Wrong audience for casual games.

If it's DKCR: TF why don't they just say so? This game isn't a secret anymore and a reveal of Cranky Kong would hardly excite people at VGX. People on other forums are already boarding hype trains only to get kicked in the sac again. I think with things looking so bleak they need to give a glimpse of what's coming in 2014 and give Wii U owners hope.

If it's DKCR: TF then people are going to be pi$$ed.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Penélope and Mónica Cruz (Nintendo 3DS) Now if they would only get people like this doing their Wii U ads.

Reggie could be just "stringing" us along to reveal it's Yarn Yoshi. (Takes a bow.) That's my attempt at making a joke. That's too funny, I think I need to sit down.

The thing is they say it's a new look. I don't think any of those games can have changed much in a few short months. If there's a game that could have changed that would be Yarn Yoshi. Very little was shown of that game and we haven't seen it in a good while. I hope it's more exciting than that though.

http://nintendoeverything.com/reggie-will-show-a-new-look-at-an-upcoming-wii-u-game-at-vgx/ So what do you think it'll be? I pray to God it'll be Zelda but think I'm going to be left disappointed. Hopefully not, this is a hardcore gamer event after all.
