Did anyone notice how much they improved the frame rate of everything in StreetPass Mii Plaza? It looks silky-smooth!

Yes! That bird is the worst! Always giving me the same damn pieces.

You can spend Play Coins in both Resident Evil 3DS games!

We have to wait until September for the second speed update? Not that the first didn't hep a TON, but I'd love it if that OS just flew. It would help prepare Wii U for the inevitable speed comparisons against navigating menus on Xbox One (which we know is fast) and PS4 (which I assume is fast).

I would absolutely pay more to keep Snake voiced by David Hayter. I still cannot fathom their decision to make a MGS game without him when our is available and willing to do the work.

First of all, this guy is classy, and this video was awesome.

Anyway, really interesting to see such disparate reactions to Alan Wake here. For me, a sequel woul have been a big tipping point in the PS4 / Xbox One purchase decision. As it stands, I'm far more intrigued by the PS4, although I'd like to hear more about…

Local weather in the game? Happened back on Wii in Madden NFL 07.

Well, I'm sure there's work involved because I know the Wii U VC has expanded functionality. However, Nintendo has two things for sure:

Seriously? Only one Wii U Virtual Console game?? This is a little ridiculous. They should be porting the Wii VC library en masse. STAT!

I'm also in Stephen's camp here: I'd like to try and enjoy Animal Crossing: New Leaf, but the GameCube game left me a bit confused. This description is probably the most appealing I've heard. It also seems like a perfect game to own digitally.

I really hope this is false. The last thing the Wii U needs is asshats pirating software.

Any different than the video?

Downloading now. 673 MB, so maybe it'll be done when I wake up, lol.

Yeah—Outlook and most webmail clients (Gmail, Hotmail/Outlook.com, Yahoo) and all Android devices have images turned off by default in the native email client. iOS devices, thankfully, have images on by default.

Yeah, I was disappointed at how short it lasted (that's also what she said), but the effect is really awesome!

Haha, yes...best not to question the video game weirdness, though. Wouldn't be quite as fun, I suspect.

I feel like this could be the subject of a "Really?!" SNL Weekend Update bit. Because, I mean...really?!

I was wondering that, too!

Awesome news! I wonder if this is an indicator of Nintendo's behind-the-scenes work to continue to court 3rd party interest. I know Ubisoft has already put some bigger games on Wii U, but it's good to see it continue—and with exclusive features!

A few months ago, I had a StreetPass when I walked into work one morning. I wasn't sure if it was someone I had passed on the street or a coworker, but after it kept happening and we exchanged a few personal greetings, I figured out it was a new guy with a 3DSXL!
