The bad thing is this is not going to sell Wii U units. Most people that would be interested in one would be for it anyhow. A huge percentage of people that would want to play earthbound could actually do it cheaper buying an SNES and the game itself. Its going to be yet another fail in their planning. The Wii U is only going to seriously sell units if the name somehow changes and the price drops to that of a normal Wii as well seriously getting some games (other than stuff thats already on the PS3 and 360). I was excited when I heard this at first cause I want to play Earthbound ... but with the Wii U only part, its not getting me any closer. Release it on both Wii and Wii U and it will sell like hotcakes. It will also help the price of the game itself drop some allowing people who want to own the thing but not pay $200+ for it the option. |

I wondered why they weren't releasing it for Wii as well - they'd definitely sell a lot more copies. Then I heard about this: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/04/end-of-an-era-many-wii-online-services-shutting-down-in-june/ It looks as though they're preparing to phase out the Wii entirely. With poor Wii U sales and a lukewarm response to the 3DS, I seriously wonder about the future of Nintendo... Newsflash: Earthbound ain't gonna save your hide, Nintendo, especially if you're relying on the Wii U to sell copies. ::) |

The only problem I have with the 3DS is that Nintendo insisted on releasing the 3DS XL, in my opinion, way too early in the 3DS's lifespan. So now, rather than producing a set style of hardware, they are producing 2 different models simultaneously, which can't be cost effective. Other than that minor gripe, I think the 3DS is a great successor to the DS (which I love), much more so than the DSi. |

I mean, don't get me wrong, there are some really good titles out on 3DS, but it doesn't seem too many people are paying it any mind. Especially after the fiasco that was its initial launch. |
