If they made a patch for online, I'd buy it. With voice chat of course.

Fixed. Ninty have the solution to voice chat. They'll use the camera on the gamepad and during the game they'll have a small screen in the corner that we can use for sign language. They'll release Wii Sign Language U on the eShop prior to Splatoon's release which they'll support with Crazy Hand and Master Hand amiibo. Here's the first screenshot to get us started learning. But weeks later Nintendo will be in the news for all the wrong reasons when people actually use it for this: and much worse, if you thought people drawing penises on Miiverse was bad, well you get the picture.

Where's your evidence to suggest that it will have in game voice chat? It'll be a first from Nintendo for Wii U if there is. It may have a small chance because it's developed by Nintendo's young developers and not the old fogies though they'll ultimately have the final say. That and it's a chance to try and establish a new franchise properly whereas if voice chat in more mainstream franchises received bad press it could have been damaging. Well I think that's how they'll look at it.

3 Big Changes Coming to Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D

They could maybe try something with linking it to your Club Nintendo account. At least keep a certain amount of stock for that avenue and 1 per customer only.

Some of you could do with the Song of Double Time in real life to beat these bloody scalpers. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/01/hundreds_of_limited_edition_majoras_mask_new_nintendo_3ds_systems_continue_to_flood_onto_ebay

I think the Wii U has 20 titles or thereabouts from that top 100 list in one form or another, some of them, be they late or $h1tty ports at least we have them. Next year, however, the Wii U will be lucky to have even half that number. In fact, it'll be amazing if it has a quarter of that total.

Japan will be getting a metal Mario Kart wheel complete with metal skin plate for your Wii remote. I don't know if it'll wander over here at any point. Maybe? Club Nintendo reward perhaps?

Should have happened already and at least in time for Christmas. XBOX1 might be selling alright but are Microsoft making massive losses especially with their price cut?

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Analysis - Nintendo Direct (Secrets & Hidden Details +YOUR Ideas!)

Unconfirmed reports put Wii U sales at 580,000 for December in the U.S. It might be poor in comparison to the competition but that's a healthy rise in sales and substantially so when compared to overall sales.

Top selling games in the U.S. for December. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3, PC) Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3) Madden NFL 15 (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3) Super Smash Bros. (Wii U, 3DS) NBA 2K15 (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3, PC) Minecraft (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4) Far Cry 4 (PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PC) Just Dance 2015 (Wii, Xbox 360, Wii U, Xbox One, PS4, PS3) Destiny (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3) FIFA 15 (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3, Wii, 3DS, Vita) Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker reportedly sold 250,000 last month for the region. NES Remix Pack for Wii U and Ultimate NES Remix for 3DS sold a combined 130,000 copies. Nintendo's official statement regaarding the NPD figures. Wii U established new benchmarks for hardware and software sales in a single month in December. This helped total hardware and software sales in 2014 increase by more than 29 percent and more than 75 percent, respectively, over sales in 2013. Nintendo 3DS also had a strong December, including its largest month ever for first-party software sales. This was primarily fueled by Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, which has already surpassed 2 million combined physical and digital units sold in a little more than three months, and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, which have combined to sell over 2.6 million physical and digital units in their first six weeks. “Wii U had its strongest year yet thanks to the highly anticipated software lineup and the introduction of the amiibo platform,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Fans can anticipate another strong year for 2015, especially with more highly anticipated games like Splatoon and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, as well as New Nintendo 3DS XL, arriving in the first half of 2015.” Other Nintendo highlights from the full 2014 year include: Wii U: Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U sold over 1.7 million physical and digital units and 1.3 million physical and digital units, respectively, in 2014. Total sales of amiibo figures in 2014 are nearly twice the sales of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Nintendo 3DS: In 2014, 16 Nintendo 3DS titles sold at least 250,000 units. Of those titles, eight sold more than 500,000 units and three sold over 1 million units. In 2014, the top 15 best-selling hand-held titles were all released on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Nintendo is looking to ride the wave of momentum into 2015, with the launches of Splatoon, Yoshi’s Woolly World, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. and Mario Party 10. On Feb. 13, Nintendo will also launch the New Nintendo 3DS XL in the United States alongside The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D.

Sorry, I'm not reporting the NPD figures for December. I've had enough of this percentage bullsh1t from Nintendo regarding Wii U sales.

Jesus, don't rile me. Nintendo did nothing for the last 2 years of the Wii and their start to Wii U was NintendoLand and NSMBU? They hadn't even caught up to last gen on several levels, I'm going to stop before I start but suffice to say you reap what you sow. It was clear to everyone they were doomed and their practices this gen has only cemented how they'll be viewed next gen as well. So what if it's not successful, at least show that you're willing to change. It was clear to everyone they were doomed and their practices this gen has damaged how they'll be viewed next gen as well. You're willing and flexible to change, prove it. I thought I said I'd stop, I will now.

I think this is really cool and deserves a mention. [TWEET]551095276019396609[/TWEET]

This game has received a 1030MB update. It's now running at version 1.1.0 and it's only available in Europe so far. No word yet on what it does but an update that size must be bringing some major changes you'd imagine. http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=972299

Batman: Arkham Origins arrived today, new and sealed. Another perfect, painless, quick transaction with http://www.thegamecollection.net/ They are my favourite go to site. One thing though. Is it meant to have a white case as opposed to the regular sky blue? Edit: It appears there's both. Is there a difference? How come there's 2 colour cases?
