If true that's ridiculously exciting. I JUST bought a Wii U this past weekend. I own LM2 on 3DS, but I'd certainly double dip for this.

Probably not true but IF it happened, both Mansion games would make it a sweet, sweet package!

I really hope this isn't true. Even if they give it to a B-tier team to do in 6 months, I'd rather have a small e-Shop exclusive than another remake.

I'm sad there hasn't been more news. I'd love Luigi's Mansion game

I would love this to be one last Year of Luigi surprise. New Super Luigi U sold me on Wii U, so cool. But Luigi's Mansion, first in 12 years, man.

Oh wow, I would actually love to play through this again in HD with some new features. Probably my favorite game released this year! Very much hope this turns out to be true.

Nintendo didn't develop that, and despite what some people were hoping (in poor judgement I thought) they didn't buy Atlus.
... With that said, Kid Icarus is probably one of those that screams for a Wii U update most.

Wiimote pointer controls would resolve the game's only real issue. I think I would double dip on a wii u KI:U. A sequel would be better, though.
Or Dual Analog for people who refuse to consider alternatives. Or we just get the same exact game but in HD using the touch screen and considering this is a Sakurai game we'd probably have all three options, basically the only way you lose is if they port it poorly.

Have any games been revealed in the past by retailers like this? Excluding obvious things like yearly franchises.

Oh god, DA might work for ground, but air battles will be 10x more difficult if someone plays with that. I choose pointer/stylus.
I get used to odd ways of holding controllers quickly, so KI never bothered me
Ever played Sin and Punishment on N64?

Then on Wii?
Well, I can the Game Pad being potentially better on Wii U as you can just let it lay in your lap and keep your eyes on the TV, then when you're on foot use the dual analog. Though that would've worked out on 3DS too had there been enough time to implement it.
I remember seeing a very large attach rate for NSMBU for the WiiU, so it very well could be a case of giving the current install base something it is likely to want. I've got the game on the 3DS so I'd pass if it's true, but it really does seem like a more involved "console-ish" game, perhaps more people could enjoy the game in console form.
Incoming Direct?

Well. That pretty much nails it. End of the year release would be incredible.

Since I do not have a 3DS, I will gladly buy this version if it is real.

they might as well include a port of the original, give it the WWHD treatment

Hmm. Luigi's Mansion 2 Wii U believability makes me wonder if a Direct isn't far away, to announce that and another port I've heard may be coming. On the other hand, it's a pretty safe Nintendo game I could see retailers throwing up as a "maybe" due to its success on the portable.
Guess we'll have to wait and see. If it's indeed getting Direct'd, I suspect that announcement shouldn't be far away.

The name suggests that this is a port of the 3DS game.
...this port wouldn't be for Kid Icarus, would it? I don't want to hype myself for no reason
Brain Age actually....this port wouldn't be for Kid Icarus, would it? I don't want to hype myself for no reason
Yeah, I dunno what they're thinking if that's for real.

I would have guessed Nintendo would give up on Brain Age by now knowing how the market for those type of games are all on smartphones and the games themselves are significantly more cheaper.
Perhaps this will release when DK was originally supposed to in Dec. It kinda makes sense that they would want to release something else for the Wii U this holiday. If that leaked Gamestop Black Friday ad is any indication, Nintendo has a pretty lackluster holiday planned for the Wii U and they need something else to make it more enticing.

Not Brain Age or Kid Icarus. Not necessarily 3DS. All I know about the former and Dark Moon is what's written in this thread. I'm not really cluey on how reliable back-to-back entries a game on a retailer's system are, especially knowing that they're not always accurate. Once offs aren't trustworthy, but back-to-back recent entries give credibility. And I suppose both games would work just fine on the touch pad.
No! I can't personally vouch for the info's reliability (second hand) and I don't want to get hopes up and make myself look like an idiot if it turns out to be fluff. If it's true it's nice for logistical reasons, but not like a GAME CHANGER MEGATON or anything. Just a thing that might be coming, and doing much sooner rather than later.
The fact it hasn't been announced yet does make me wonder if it's BS. Should learn soon.

there's actually one port I'm really hoping will come to Wii U.
Kadokawa recently announced that Rodea the Sky Soldier was still releasing, but I imagine they meant the 3DS version, as releasing a Wii game probably doesn't make sense at this point. Crossing my fingers the Wii version gets an uprez and an eshop release!
