Wii U news thread

What would be the point of that?

I would buy it, I didn't like it on a 3DS it felt like a console game.

If they scraped the mission thing I would buy it

This would make me both happy and confused. Surely they would make a tradition out of Gamecube remakes and do the first?

Sooner just have cube game on the VC, what if Luigi Mansion was the 1st Cube VC game and comes out a similar time as 2's port .

They could do a compilation, I suppose. They won't though.

Anyone else seen the rumors Luigi Mansion 2 will come to Wii U.

Yep. I really hope it isn't true. If it is, it will increase my suspicions that Nintendo is treating the Wii U like Sony is the Vita - a machine for old ports.

A port of the original LM, though, would make kinda sense.

Wii U: Home of Gamecube ports.

That was the logic I would have thought they were using for planned remakes or ports. I noticed Wind Waker got on Wii U and thought 3DS may get more N64 remakes and Wii U would get GC remakes. Then DKCR got announced.

The whole idea just leads me to believe this is fake because it seems so weird. There was a time I understood patterns of re-releases with Nintendo. The Pokemon and DK re-releases on GBA and DS made sense. The Wii-makes made sense. This does not. There doesn't seem to be any pattern this time around.

It seems the LM on Wii U rumour dates from May 2012...

More and more retailers are listing it though. And some also list Devilish Brain Training for Wii U... Hmmmm......

The problem is, Luigi's Mansion really pushed the 3DS but would be standard stuff on Wii U. Similar to MH3:U and RE:R.

I don't see the point in it, I enjoyed Luigi enough but I definitely wouldn't be tempted to buy the same game again in the same gen.
As for MH3U I don't think the 3DS version is as good, especially without the online (and basically needing the circle pad pro)

Oh, agreed 100%. I just mean graphically the game impresses me more squeezed onto a DS.

So, Newegg (the site that listed LM), confirms it as legit. Hmmmmmmm......

Emoticompetition! Which of our wide range of emoticons best describes how I feel right now? And which best describes what I'd like to do to the genius who suggested this idea? Answers on a post(card), please!

Nah it's not real, it's some cruddy retailer listing names because they know little about Wii U or how running a computer games company works.

Regarding a Wii U port of Luigi's Mansion 2: if it makes a great game even better then I'm all for it. It's got to be purposeful though. I had thought since it's original Wii release that Donkey Kong Country Returns would make a fantastic 3DS game. It does, but still fails to really shine as the developer didn't do enough to expand upon the original template.

I'll give you that: my actual choices were  and  .

Beemoh, are you using that whistling emoticon to mean what I think you're using it to mean?

All is fine we are getting Hello Kitty Go Karting but in a serious note the battery pack for the gamepad is now officially available from amazon in the EU distributed by Nintendo.

Also the big N has announced some more Wii U bundles which all seem quite decent to appeal to the casual gamer, whom are more likely to get a Wii U then a black box of power.

As the comments point out, though, 7 x not an awful lot = still not all that much.

Still 7x more than not much, though.  

Hopefully Super Mario 3D World's arrival will have been timed just right (I think it has been).

yeah 7 x 1 is 7
