God that's depressing.
OT: I think late 2014 is when I'll start eyeing a WiiU, games are starting to add up.

Christmas day fun with the family: Mario & Sonic or Wii Party U?
I might add that games will be played in Canada by winter sport enthusiasts. Basically, is Mario & Sonic so bad that even an interested person won't enjoy it?

Wii u party was 49,99 @ target w remote bundled
It is in the name of family after all
I'd go for Wii Party U tbh.
It has way more minigames and variety. It seems to be more family friendly than M&S tho both are great in that department. Plus there's a gamepad stand you can't miss lol
If people still want (3rd party) games by late 2014, they better start buying WiiU's now.

Thanks for the tips. I think I'm going to go with Wii Party U. Variety is important, even if the hockey in Mario & Sonic is supposed to be a blast. Maybe I'll wait for a price drop (next Christmas?).

I don't buy consoles for third party games, personally. That's what my PC is for.
Dozen estimate seems about right. I wouldn't say they're major side quests - the game's pretty much one path with multiple options how to progress through that path (straight-ahead blasting, never being spotted). Just some things you can choose to skip if you go through the levels quickly. But worth going back and grabbing if you crave completion.
The co-op missions are the bigger reason I'll keep it. You can play all of them except maybe one by yourself offline, which is good since there are major connectivity issues online. There are different styles of missions from the single-player, including a few horde-based levels that, while more fun with a teammate with a mic, are fun to try different approaches to and beat your high scores.
Winter sports enthusiasts you say? I know nothing of Wii Party U but the Winter Olympics are in 79 days. If, with that knowledge, you can wait for Mario & Sonic in hopes of a price cut, you're a stronger person than I am.
Wii Party U likely will be just as fun any other time of year; I needed a game to scratch my winter sports itch, and while I would say the criticisms of it are fair, Mario & Sonic fills my irrational need to do things on ice.
It'll be half its current price in February lol

No, there is not afaik and about Digimon.. I don't think we'll see it around here.
There was a campain similar to Operation Rainfall to localize the game without any significant success.
I don't blame Namco tho. Digimon is as niche as it can get so they probably don't want to spend on a game that will bomb hard.
I've been thinking about getting either Injustice or Tekken TT2 as well. I've heard good things about both of them, but they're not in the recommended section. I know TTT2 was a bit less performance wise than the PS360 but with exclusive features. Don't know what the deal was with Injustice.
Europe, yeah

Injustice is perfectly fine other than still having no option for Private Matches online. It also receives DLC at a slower pace than the other versions for whatever reason.
The game will release in Europe on March 6 2014.^^
LOOOOOOL you're a riot.
Bayo 2 trailer maybe. Smash no chance.
I have two eight-year-olds in the house, so I just ordered Just Dance 2014 from amazon. It will be interesting to see how much accuracy the Wii remote requires. I'd think that it responds to any sort of waggle.
I'm going to buy those games, anyway. Once I decide I will play a game, I avoid all media related to it. I still haven't seen anything of Super Mario 3D World since the first trailer.

You haven't heard of Wii Motion Plus?
I absolutly love tekken on the wii u i asked multiple times to add that to the recomendations and Warrior Orochi 3 but i get ignored everytime. But tekken is my most played game on the system. When i have friends over we usually play a bit of wii party or mario and then head over to Tekken to play some tekken ball it is crazy how fun that can be. Online is pretty dead in the afternoon though. In the evening i can find some nice matches. Lag is still doable on 1 bar. Also off tv works great when i am cooking dinner and my food is on the fire i can just play a round or 2 on my wiipad before focusing on the food again. only thing is you have to manually switch it on in the option mode. I dont have injustice but never was a big fan of the fighting mechanics of mortal kombat or super hero comics so never looked into that. heard it has a nice story though.
edit: the mushroom mode isnt something special. But the remixes of classic mario music is great. The nintendo costumes are really fun goofy looking.
Talking bout to 2014 lineup yea it will be Reggie saying we have Mario Kart, DKCTF, Bayo2 and Smash Bros coming, plus more. They are not showing anything new on Spike lol

While we're at it, Retro is searching for new employees again:
http://www.retrostudios.com/careers.asp
- FX Artist
- Concept Artist
Maybe they already began with their next project, don't know why they would need another Concept Artist at this stage of DKC (it should've been released next month).
And Miyamotos quote from September:
"I think Retro has really come to a point at which it’s possible for it to have multiple lines running at the same time and
having different projects in development. I totally think there are possibilities to see different projects from Retro in the future."

They've likely already had a second project in "development" for a while now. DKCTF shouldn't have taken their entire staff all of three years (close to 4) to make.

LinkedIn says they have 51 - 200 employees (what a range lol). http://www.linkedin.com/company/retro-studios
If the 200 is correct, they could've worked on two projects? (Of course, DKC is the priority)
We know that Super Mario 3D World took up to 100 people:
"At first, about 40 to 50, but there were about 100 in the end." http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wiiu/super-mario-3d-world/0/0

Metroid confirmed for 2015
Retro isn't 200 people big, no way. They have gained talent, but also lost a lot.
If only
I think it's very possible. There won't have been a new Metroid since 2010. I think it's reasonable to think we'll see at the very least a new 3DS Metroid by then. I'm expecting a 2D Metroid if one comes to 3DS.
Ouch his poor soul, I think I'll just tell him it's undecided
Thank you both.
Game A winds down -> work on Game B has already started. Concept artist sit around with nothing to do in the final polish stages of development which DKC is now in. So it's not surprising they're looking for new peeps.
