The Wii U

[Nando]

From reading that, it seems that Nintendo may be a portal to other companies networks and just play host to their networked internal licenses. So the burden is not on them to monitor things out of their studio.

  jlued686, I'm with you man, I'm with you.  I know on these forums we won't see a whole lotta love for Mario, but it's only because no one wants to be caught disOBEYing.  We'll just have to let Ark and others play them secretly while publicly denouncing them. 

  Also, I was surprised to see so much love for Mario Sunshine which has to be my least fav Mario game ever.  The whole waterpak thing just didn't work for me.  Mario has never need a permanent weapon/tool before or since.  Galaxy 1 and 2 however are close to perfect, and I rarely say that about any games.

I like the OTHER Mario game for the Wii alot more.

New Super Mario. Bros (AKA: 1980s mario with shiney graphics), was infinitely moar funs.

Would you like the galaxy games if it wasn't Mario? Have you tried numero dos?

Probably not.   I thought the whole game was pretty boring and retarded to be honest.   

I'd probably play it a bit more if it were some obnoxious rainbow colored seizurefest with the same mechanics, but even then, I'd get bored once the eye candy wears off.

Arkhan, I know you're complex and impossible to pin down, but... there are a lot of games that you DO like that I have no idea why.  I'm not even sure if you're serious half the time.  Or half the time when it seems like you might be being serious. (so a quarter of the time?)

this is neat news. I still think more needs to be done to warrant me purchasing a game digitally though

I want lots of Demos!  I want demos of games that are available in the stores.  Something i actually really like about the 360.  The only problem is that I tend to only play as much as the demo offers anyway.

But that's the point, if the demo didn't leave you wanting for more, then you probably should spend your money else where.

I was talking to my friend today about how excited I've become for this retarded thing.   I'll get to box my Wii up and use this instead!  That'll be cool.

I love Mario Galaxy. I've never played the sequel, but I imagine it's super fun.

I still have no plans to get a WiiU anytime soon, though. Too much retro stuffs I want more.

I have a theory that the retro gamr market spike is related to Nintendo's lack of home console activity- and that the release of the WiiU will reduce demand for retro stuff, at least for a spell.

I never thought about this, but you could be right.  Not due to the lack of a Nintendo console, but due to the lack of any new console, in what has become the longest generation of systems.

Those younger players who have gotten sick of nearly a decade with the same shit have bought old consoles, because to these younger players it is a way to get something "new."  The additional releases of retro games on consoles and phones probably just added fuel to the fire.

Also remember, the trend of retro stuff started about 7-8 years ago even before the Wii, 360 and PS3 hit the market. I started seeing clone systems, replacement third peripherals popping up around 2004-2005

The trend started long before that, when Hot Topic and shit started selling NES shirts to kids who can't even spell NES.
