I really like my Wii U, thanks for mentioning it. Pikmin 3, Monster Hunter 3, Zelda, Rayman, The Wonderful 101, and now the new Super Mario 3D Worlds have kept me entertained for hours!

Wii Sports was not a pack in game in Japan and other locations.

No one said highest. Just fastest. And it is the fastest grossing. Nintendo's games are "evergreen" titles. That means they still sell pretty steady numbers for a long time. Thus why they only release like one Smash or Mario Kart per system, because that one entry is just gonna keep selling from the moment they…

Actually no. The highest selling game in history is Wii Sports at 81.51 million globally. 29 million puts GTA 5 around 8th place; after New Super Mario Bros(29.25 million) on DS and before Wii Fit(28.81 million) on Wii.

It's a good opportunity for those that didn't play it or play it the whole way through like me. Also, Nintendo fans are craving for games and seeing how this one has been a fan favorite, Nintendo will make good profit.

Dunno, ask any other company that did this too.

fascinating strategies from Nintendo, first they do the early digital zelda wind waker hd, then the free digital WiifitU if you buy the pedometer, now this, I'm kinda impressed, didn't think were this forward thinking

But can he run Crysis?

No. Enjoy your increased arm strength. You'll need it when Sony, Apple, and Microsoft cause the robot apocalypse.

Everyone out of high school.

THAT'S NOT A N64 CONTROLLER...

...Seriously dude? The Wii U supports 1080p and there are a few things already that run in it. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, for starters, is in 1080p and so is this, according to Nintendo themselves. Troll harder next time.

what do you think this is going to achieve? let's say a boycott is successful and the game flops - you think the capcom executives in japan who made the call are going to go "oh well these people on the internet say they aren't happy with this being digital-only, we better give the next one a physical release"? or are…

But surely Phoenix Wright counts as a high quality top tier title by now? The series might have started small but it's got a pretty huge following by now. Wouldn't a $40 price point have been natural for it, if released in the traditional way?

If the power is what you want then you really shouldn't even be playing console at all. PC will always be far superior than any console ever, for $500 you can build yourself a really nice computer that run games so much better.

Is this kotaku's version of youtube's "like my comment if _____" ?

Sounds like the Wii U... But almost twice as expensive, not as many buttons, and only copies one aspect of what makes the Wii U a compelling console. The Wii U is a lot more than a second screen, but it's a complete, integrated package. Devs for PS4/Vita can't make games that require both at the same time because of…

Do you have examples of Nintendo abandoning tech?
