Nintendo is a disaster right now. Satoru Iwata being named CEO of Nintendo of America doesn't make feel better about the company either.

I don't mind them not doing a conference. Just show me the following and I'll be happy.
Pikmin 3
Zelda Wii U
Mario Wii U
Mario Kart Wii U
Monolith's X
Yoshi Yarn Wii U
Whatever Retro is working on
If the rumors are true about Mario Wii U and Mario Kart both releasing this year in addition to Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD, and the slew of 3DS games then my wallet is going to cry. Plus, the new Xbox... Ugh

Latest Wii U update went live tonight.
Load times are VASTLY improved. This update does take some time to download. I think mine may have been like 35-40 minutes.

It's definitely quicker, but the speed in going between games and the menu is still really noticeable. Oh well, at least it's better. The Virtual Console launches in Europe tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting Super Mario World. It'll be interesting to play it running at full speed for the first time ever.

I must admit the WiiU is a really interesting system.

Wii U runs quicker and smoother. Feels so much better. What is there a new update out or something. : • The time required to start the Wii U console, launch built-in applications, exit software and return to the main menu, jump between applications, and jump between software and Miiverse has been reduced. • While the Wii U logo is being displayed during the system startup, users can directly transition to the Wii Menu by holding down the B Button on the Wii U GamePad. • Users can install games and applications from the Nintendo eShop in the background while other software is being used. • When powering off during a download, Wii U will go into a standby mode, then power off when all downloads and installations are complete. • Users can transfer and copy data between two USB storage devices in Data Management. This allows users the opportunity to upgrade or replace a current USB storage device that is connected to the Wii U Console. • Users can control the priority of their downloads when downloading multiple items at once. • Improved account selection when powering on the system now displays Nintendo Network IDs to clearly distinguish accounts. • TV screen size output can now be adjusted in the System Settings. • An Undo/Redo button was added to the Miiverse drawing input screen. As previously announced, additional features are scheduled to be rolled out a short time after the update goes live. Wii U owners can soon expect to find: Virtual Console A library of quality classic games is planned for the Virtual Console on Wii U, with favorites such as Balloon Fight, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Excitebike, F-Zero, Ice Climber, Kirby's Adventure, Kirby Super Star, Mario Bros., Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario World, Super Metroid and Yoshi on the way soon. Game Boy Advance and Nintendo 64 games are scheduled to be added in the future. Each game in the Wii U Virtual Console library has been developed to include off-TV play on the Wii U GamePad controller, customizable controls, Miiverse community support and the ability to instantly save game progress. NES games will cost $4.99 to $5.99, while Super NES games will cost $7.99 to $8.99. People who have already downloaded these games to their Wii System can transfer them to their Wii U consoles and play them in Wii Mode at no charge. To upgrade and take advantage of the improved Wii U features, they can purchase them at the special discount price of just $1 for NES games and $1.50 for Super NES games. Wii U Panorama View Wii U Panorama View opens a window to the sights and sounds of some of the world’s most exotic destinations. Wii U owners use the GamePad controller to look in every direction to control an immersive 360-degree video guided tour as these destinations come to life from the comfort of your living room. Imagine catching all the sights during a tour of London on a double-decker bus or exploring the streets of Rio de Janeiro during Carnival. Wii U Panorama View will be available as a free downloadable demo from the Nintendo eShop and includes a sample of different experiences the application has to offer. The full versions of each individual video tour can be purchased for $2 each. |

Bought Super Mario World. It's scary sometimes how I play these older games and I "zone out" and by the time I stop, I've found every secret and item I can possibly find and not even realize it.

I'm sure EA will begin developing for Wii U again when the inevitable Nintendo comeback happens.
I find it hard to be worried about the console knowing that all of their big first party franchises will be coming out on it. The second Mario Kart, or a Smash Bros game is released things'll look up. People seem to want to write off the Wii U like they did the 3DS and that didn't really work out in the end considering that now has one of the best console lineups of all time. Patience will pay off, it always does with Nintendo.

People always lose faith in Nintendo until they dominate. It's only been six months since Wii U's release. The best is yet to come.

Nintendo will just get the weaker ports of EA games just like last generation. Most of EA's user base is on the Sony/Microsoft consoles.
It doesn't concern me though. I will buy their games on the 720. I got the Wii U for the Nintendo games and I am pretty positive that they are going to be showing a lot of nice looking first party games here soon.
Pikmin 3 and Wind Waker HD make it worth it to me for this year.

I saw that New Super Luigi U is coming to retail on August 25th for $29.99. I know that is two months after it's digital release and it's $10 more, but, man the green case sure looks nice. I know I will pick it up.
