Wii U

The last one sold better than Boom IIRC.

Which one?

Olympic game.

No. Which Sonic Boom?

Both combined sold 700K. We never got a breakdown, though I imagine the 3DS version sold better for obvious reasons.

Wii U.

Personally, I see no problem at all with another Mario and Sonic.

I stopped buying them after Olympic Winter Games.

Splatoon has grabbed second place on the UK sales charts only being beaten by The Witcher 3. It has also taken the best selling new IP for the Wii U spot from Zombie U and is the fifth fastest selling Wii U game in the UK.

Hey, if nothing else, the Mario & Sonic games have fantastic music. But of course, as it is SEGA doing the music for those games.

I suppose this is worth noting. For the first time since its launch, the Wii U was the highest selling console of the week in Japan. Which says more about 3DS saturation than anything else, since the Wii U sold a bit under Mario Kart 8 week. But it's still nice to see something nice for it.

Splatoon hype. That game is killing it sales-wise. Impressive given it's new IP.

Can't be new. Nintendo only ever recycles old franchises, never producing new IPs.

We'll need US numbers before we can celebrate, and we'll only know the first 2/3 days unless Nintendo throws us a bone. Europe too, but Europe never gives hard numbers. I'm confident it'll reach 1 million with little trouble at least. The question is, can word of mouth sustain its sales and make it an evergreen title?

Rumor: Zelda Wii u will be at E3, but only through interviews and art and a new Mario game, new Metroid game, and Star Fox will have have land and space battles and online multiplayer.

Star Fox U taking the formula used by Assault and expanding on it makes sense.

A new Sunshine would be nice. Especially after just recently 100% the game with some friends. If the rumor about Star Fox U having online multiplayer is true, I hope it'll be similar to Assault's multiplayer. 8(or more?) player dogfights would be great.

I'm slightly skeptical of a new Metroid though, as much as I want to see a new entry in the series.

I loved Assault's multiplayer, if the new Starfox expands on Assault's gameplay I'm sold.

It's time for a new Metroid. I think i predicted after Other M's lackluster sales that Nintendo would wait about 5 years for a new one.

Maybe it would have been better to try seven.

Metroid once had an 8 year hiatus. Not counting Samus being in Smash Bros 64 and Melee between Super and Fusion/Prime.

I'd like to see a Star Fox game with more level type variety like Assault but branching paths like 64.

Starved for Nintendo E3 leaks? Go and generate your own.

"Third Party Reel"? What a silly and unlikely idea.

Actually, if Wii Medicine U ended up being like the Trauma Center games, I'd play the shit out of that.
