Not to mention Guild 01 bombed in Japan (15k first week?). Surprisingly it looks like Level 5 are making a Guild 02 so it must have been very cheap to produce. I've played the first 3 levels on easy and I'm so far enjoying it. It's quite Kid Icarus like in controls, using the circle pad to move, L to strafe and the stylus to move the cursor. To fire your weapon you hold down the stylus to lock on to targets then release to fire missiles. If you had difficulty with KI: Uprising's controls this game is probably not for you.

I'm about to purchase it myself, I may post some impressions later.

Nintendo must have really pissed off EA. I'm still waiting for the "Unprecedented Partnership".

Who's our best chance for bringing this over? Ghostlight? Rising Star? Atlus really needs to create a European branch.

TGS Trailer released.

It's sounding promising, seems like Hayashi realizes that Ninja Gaiden 3 was a travesty and isn't trying to make 'an American hamburger' this time.

Yeah it would be great if they had DLC for some other notable movies, Tomorrow Never Dies never got a proper game (Was a third person shooter). I can't wait, Eurocom always does an excellent job.

So anyone planning on picking this up? I'm almost sold on it, just slightly wary that the mess that was Ninja Gaiden 3 is unfix able.

They didn't say all of the SP will be controlling Murphy, some of it will still be controlling Rayman.

Maybe they'll do a Sakurai style achievement system. I'm surprised it hasn't been widely copied yet.

Because they are celebrating the 6 bonds by representing 6 levels for the 6 Bonds.That's why they are using OHMSS. Die Another Day is probably because it's the only Brosnan film that didn't get a game. I see why some Bond fans are upset that they are using Craig but personally it doesn't bother me (And Craig is one of my least favourite Bonds). This game is obviously being made on a shoestring budget,most Bond game are.If they did buy the rights to use the likenesses of all the Bonds it probably would have ended up hurting the experience.

Didn't Headstrong develop Art Academy 3DS? Another third party is Curve Studios who are making the new Fluidity for 3DS(which is published by Nintendo) NST recently hired one of the co creators of Sonic, I have a feeling they are working on a project headed by him.

1:I'm expecting $500 for the black console in Australia, considering the Wii was $400 at launch. The high Australian dollar seems irrelevant. *EDIT Seems that it's $349 for the basic model and $429 for the premium. I'm happy with that. 2: I'm there Day One! I can't imagine missing a Nintendo Console launch. 3: I'll most likely be purchasing the Premium package, it depends what the ZombiU bundle turns out to be like. 4: Undecided, waiting on reviews of games like Batman Armoured Edition and Ninja Gaiden Razor. Will most likely purchase NSMBU, 007 Legends and Mass Effect 3;. 5: Bayonetta 2 was a complete 'What the heck?' moment. Rumours have been circling that Sega canned it months ago and that Bayonetta would never see the light of day again. Personally i'm excited for 007 Legends, I've always enjoyed Bond games as they rarely disappoint me. 6: I think that the criticism of E3 was unwarranted, E3 is no longer an event for the 'Core Gamers'. It's become a press event for the big 3 and major publishers to gain spotlight in the mainstream press. I was initially jaded by Nintendo's performance but after contemplating the conference I decided there was enough announced to make me want the console (I never bought a 360/PS3). Personally this Nintendo Direct was the icing on the cake and makes me even more hyped for the Wii U 7: I'm curious as to when they will announce more solid details about the Miiverse and the Nintendo Network set up for the Wii U. Also whether they are expanding the supported platforms on the Virtual Console. There is only really one and a half months left before the US launch so either there is going to be a Nintendo Direct in October or Nintendo will hold some sort of an event next week during TGS.

Perhaps Platinum will include the first game as an unlockable? It's a long shot but it could happen. Like how Panzer Dragoon Orta included the first Panzer Dragoon. The reaction on Neogaf is hilarious. So many people claiming that it's not an exclusive and that the Wii U still sucks. Apparently they don't understand that Nintendo are basically funding this game,they would be idiots to allow it to be released on other consoles.It will be a Mass Effect 1 situation if anything. Combined with the fact that many of these same people were crying when the rumour came out it was canned by Sega it's just entertaining to see the Nintendo haters descend from the rafters.

I'm really excited for this game. Eurocom is a proven developer when it comes to Bond games. World is Not enough, Nightfire and Goldeneye 007 are all great games and fun Bond experiences. I'm in for day 1 for this game on the WiiU. I agree with Retro-Link, if this launches with the Wii U it will only have Black Ops II as competition in the FPS genre (Which is also an Activison game). Whereas on the 360/PS3 there are many more FPS shooters (Such as Medal of Honor) to compete with. Probably a smart choice by Activision to port this to the Wii U

Is Ninja Gaiden III classified as third party or is it first party because Nintendo is publishing it?

Is it just me or does the NES game look more appealing?

The DS is still alive. BW2 hasn't been released yet.

It's late over here, i'll finish this later. 10:Wii Sports Back in 2006 this was revolutionary, 'waggle' is now used as an insult but this game brought many joyous play sessions with my family and friends. None of the other launch games I bought were able to grab me like Wii Sports did (Probably because I bought Red Steel and Tony Hawk Downhill Jam). 9:Goldeneye The Campaign is very reminiscent of the original Goldeneye while being completely different. 8:Mario Kart Wii 7:Guitar Hero: Legends of Rock 6: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn 5: Mario Galaxy 4: Super Smash Bros Brawl 3:Xenoblade Chronicles I'm not even half way through yet but this has been one of my most enjoyable solo experiences on the Wii. This has the potential of being my favourite Wii game, I just have to play through it first. It is the first JRPG I have ever played (I doubt Paper Mario is counted as a JRPG) and it has already gotten me hooked on the genre. The sheer scale of the landscape added with the fast travel system makes exploring enjoyable and combined with the combat and the quests reminds me faintly of my WoW days. 2: Skyward Sword Hands down my favourite 3D Zelda and redeems the series in my eyes after the lackluster Twilight Princess. The Stamina bar and the upgrade system are welcome additions to the Zelda formula while the Motion plus controls were perfect in my opinion, I hope the series doesn't drop them but I know it will. I feel that if this game launched with the Wii Motion Plus along with Wii Sports Resort we may not be seeing this drought of Wii games, perhaps more developers would have seen the advantages it brings to the table. If it wasn't for the absolute fun I had with the next game it would top my list. 1: Rugby League 3 No i'm not crazy, i've spent over 100 hours playing this game with my brother, going through the 10 year franchise mode multiple times and updating the rosters every year. Sure it's an unpolished sports game with probably 1/8 of the budget of Madden or FIFA but it's an enjoyable game for any Rugby League fan, though make sure you play with gamecube controllers, the Wiimote control scheme is awful.

Pandora's Tower: I have yet to pick it up but judging by reviews and videos a sequel could potentially be great if they refined some of the main complaints. Considering it's Gambarion's first attempt at the genre and an original IP they can only get better. Skyward Sword: Personally I loved Skyward Sword, probably my favourite Zelda game and I grew up with OoT. I thought that the combat added a lot to the Zelda formula. I believe the series is headed in the right direction and I enjoyed the upgrade system and the stamina bar, (though collecting tumbleweed was tedious). If the next Zelda removes motion plus it is travelling in the wrong direction in my opinion. Rugby League 3 This won't happen since Sidhe lost the RL license I believe but my brother and I absolutely loved RL3, probably the best Rugby League game (Which isn't very hard) and was a good upgrade from RL2. The Wii mote control scheme was awful though, thankfully it offered gamecube controller support. Probably the only sport game I truly enjoy.

That box art is amazing, so glad they ditched the anime look.

I just don't think any publisher would pounce on this. N-Space frankly don't have the best of a reputation with most of their original IP games bombing. (Though I believe that only includes Heroes of Ruin and Geist) Perhaps they should consider kickstarting it, survival horror gamers might get behind it.

They should have used Tomorrow Never Dies and base the mission around storming the Stealth ship. Or as Retro_Link suggested base it around the skyscraper/motorbike/helicopter scenes. I understand why they don't use Goldeneye considering the recent game but I doubt many people remember World is Not Enough and Tomorrow Never Dies. It just doesn't make sense to choose Die another Day when they have World is not enough and Tomorrow Never Dies to choose from. There wasn't a game based on Casino Royale. (Unless you count the missions in Quantam of Solace) Is Craig's level going to be a poker simulator? Or will that be DLC? That last bit was a joke. I know that the 6th mission will be based on Skyfall.

Well Europe has already got Freakyforms and Art Academy so maybe Luigi's Mansion will still make December 2012. Either way the release lineup for the rest of the year looks decent enough. @Debug Mode, It is most likely the latter. Since Next Level Games is a third party developer I doubt Nintendo has moved the team onto a WiiU title. Nintendo probably wants to full the void of first quarter next year. The only Nintendo titles likely to launch in that period are Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing.
