To be honest, this is my problem with all Nintendo releases up to the end if the year. Nothing takes advantage of the system. Not even Nintendoland! On an online enabled console they completely omitted online play... why on earth?! Reggie said "online is the air gamers breathe, we want to provide you with as much of this air as possible." Well bollocks to that, they completely lied to us!!!

It's not that it will be bad, it's that it doesn't have any ambition. It doesn't show what the console can do, it doesn't push the genre in any way at all like other Mario games have. This game could have been made on the Wii or even the 3DS... that's my issue with it.

I never found this part infuriating, for the simple fact I never bothered doing the Colony 6 quests... I just didn't cre about them and I wanted to progress the story far too much!

I just can't envisage the WiiU replicating the 3DS for the simple fact that Nintendo don't have the same vice-like grip on te home console market like they do with the handheld market. The competition is MUCH more fierce on the home console side. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for it to do so, I just cannot see it happening. Not without a price drop and not with MK8 being out after the holiday season. Ah MK8, why must you be so far away?! How I'd love to play you now!

The disappointment for me was inescapable. SM3DW looks far too underwhelming when considering the Galaxy games (and maybe ven Mario 64) and Mario Kart 8 should be releasing this year to make me hyped for it... it does look amazing though I must say!

He doesn't like that they want to talk about Nintendo does he?! Haha

Loving the Bow! Hadn't really used it at all until this weekend. What a fun weapon to use, thoroughly enjoying it! I need to make loads of Bows now, the 5 maxed out ones I currently have just won't satisfy me! I need me some more armours too.

Quite a damning verdict on Nintendo's E3 over at Gametrailers. Kind of echos how I felt.

Awesome... that was so awesome!

Still, I kind of prefer it like that.

Me too, it looks much better than SM3DW!

...I might actually prefer the look of the Gamecube version. The WiiU version seems to have some blue hue going on. The thing with the Gamecube version is it looks like you're playing a cartoon, whereas the WiiU version looks like you're playing a game. I think I just prefer the 'cube look.

CoD Ghosts will not sell the WiiU for the simple fact that's its out on the 360 & PS3 too. That's where it'll sell.

Man this looks so sweet! Cannot wait for it!

Bomberman would fit. Actually, I'd love another Bomberman game, akin to Bomberman 64... that was awesome! Shulk..? Maybe... but I'd rather have Riki!!! Haha

The more I see of it the more I think that Nintendo could've handled this themselves and Retro could've done something big and ambitious. Something to really show the gamer what the WiiU can do! Sure it'll be great, of course it will, but I just can't help that feeling!

Fuck me sideways! If this is true then it'll make it onto my radar!

This year I'm more excited for the Ubi line-up than I am for Nintendo's! Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed and Rayman! They have me much more hyped than what Nintendo are releasing!

This is such bad news... Ubisoft have given better support to the WiiU than Nintendo has!

The games shown will be good, but I couldn't help feeling disappointed. SM3DW - Multiplayer, without online just alienates a sizeable chunk of the audience, myself included. Also, from what they showed I get the vibe that it lacks the ambition and grandeur of the Galaxy games. It doesn't look like it even tries to push the genre which is what we've come to expect of Mario for so long now! MK8 - Awesomeness... seriously looks amazing, just gutted its out 2014... best have voice-chat online! SSB - This will be sweet! Love that the Blue Bomber is in it! I don't mind waiting for this to be ready. Again, needs voice-chat! DKC:TF - Looks fun and you know it'll be challenging as with the prior in the series. Just feels like a waste of Retro's undeniable talent. On a system where we have NSMBU, NSLU and Rayman do we need another 2D game right now?! X - Easily my most anticipated! Looks all kinds of amazing! Shame it's out 2014... the wait may well kill me! This article sums it up pretty well for me... http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-12-nintendo-retreats-into-its-shell-at-e3

The biggest problem I have with this is the lack of online, if this and NSMBU had online I'd buy them!

It's a sad state of affairs when a 3D Sonic game looks better than a 3D Mario game.

Definitely my most anticipated title!

This is the game I'm most looking forward to on the WiiU this year... I find it sad that it's not a Nintendo game I'm most looking forward to. They seem to be a little lack-lustre as of late.

Some faith restored! Still can't see myself buying it mind given that there's no online co-op.
