FINALLY!!!!!!
FINALLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the general consensus of the gaming public as Nintendo finally opened its box of surprises and unleashed an arsenal of great news that breathes so much life into the WiiU, it’s going to take the announcement of the Xbox 720 and/or PS4 to slow it down. Where do we begin?
1) Yoshi Land—directed by the same man that helmed Yoshi’s Island. You all bite your tongue, Yoshi's Island remains one of the 25 best video games of all-time.
2) New Fire Emblem
3) New Mario Kart, New 3-D Mario at E3
4) New Smash Brothers at E3
5) New Zelda in the works
6) Wind Waker HD coming out this August
7) Virtual Console this Spring
There was more, but these seven big announcements have quenched the WiiU owners’ thirst for good news. Software updates, hardware updates, interactivity updates, and for God’s sake, the next-generation Smash Brothers with Namco behind the scenes. While some may ponder why they chose a random January day to announce all this, and others may ponder why Nintendo is revealing so many of its first-party cards so early in the lifespan of the WiiU but let’s be frank here……who cares?
This is what Nintendo should have done months ago to prepare us for the WiiU launch. If gamers had known that Wind Waker HD and several other major franchises were just around the corner, I am sure the launch would not have been so quiet. If gamers had known that the Virtual Console was starting up in Spring with $1 specials, then we probably would not have become so hesitant.
Nintendo’s eternal wait to unleash the goods has definitely affected the launch, but January 2013 has gone from Post-Unsuccessful Holiday Hangover into the month that may have officially jump-started the excitement wheel of the WiiU.
It wasn’t the launch. It wasn’t New Super Mario Bros. U.
It was this conference.
How long is it until E3 2013?
