Amazingly that game has never been "remastered". The closest thing we got was the NES Classics line for GBA.

I grabbed the GC version of TP last year for a pretty good deal...only played a little, but what I did play was leagues better than the Wii version.

The Direct last night was great. Its a day 1 for me. The only bummer is retailer specific DLC.

What's funny is I seem to recall most of the reviews saying Twilight Princess was a game you HAD to play on the Wii, you wouldn't get the full experience on the Gamecube, etc.

So it doesn't look like either version of Assassin's Creed is coming to Wii U this year. Has Ubisoft given any updates about the release date of Watch Dogs or did they scrap that too?

It is. There's a patch that same day too, heavy on fixing online multiplayer stuff.
8/27 update to add map display on the TV screen, 3 free Mercedes-Benz karts: GLA, W25 Silver Arrow, 300 SL Roadster.
Records screen w/ total coins, online win-loss record, character selection rates, etc. being added. Improved online stability.
Default menu selection following GP changing to next race. Last used kart customization added to save. Edit others' highlights.

I actually don't mind this sort of advertising. Would be great if we could change the cart colors in a future update.

I realize this is probably a fringe use case, but I need to vent.
I have been using my Sony Gold Wireless Headset to listen to game audio for MK8 through the gamepad even when I am playinhg on the TV. It sounds good, and it is less bothersome to the rest of the house.
I just started Wind Waker HD. The only way to get game audio out of the gamepad is by using off TV play. Not a deal breaker, but annoying.

Pretty cool trailer of some of Wii U's upcoming (and a few current) titles. It's a UK trailer, so some dates are a little later (Toad Tracker in 2014 in America).

I need to select my Platinum reward for the year. I think it's down to either NES Remix or Earthbound. What's the general consensus?

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
Why on Earth would you do that? I'm going to say I'm in 100% disagreement on that one; not about Earthbound, but getting a physical copy of Remix. NES Remix is the ideal downloadable game. It's great in short play sessions between other 'real' games. Putting in a disc to play 5 minutes here or 10 minutes there would be a huge PITA. Honestly, it would be a fantastic 3DS game, but Nintendo is on a roll for putting the wrong games on the wrong systems lately.
I got Dr. Luigi and have yet to try it out. Just been rocking the PS4 lately.

Thanks for the reminder, I forgot to choose my Gold Level game. I still have 5 unopened games from Christmas and should have entered them earlier and gotten platinum status, but alas.... I settled for The Adventures of Link.

Do platinum members get to pick a game from the platinum section and one from the gold section or just one game overall?

They keep teasing all these cool looking games, and yet nothing ever seems to come out. Of the last round of games that were teased, only Shovel Knight seems to been released. At least that was a great game.

Disney Infinity is now a free download.
Still requires a base and figures though.
