Linked to news.

I'm glad to see that Nintendo is finally making some 3rd party effort with the Wii U.

@Pika
Tell me about it. I do admit, they need more 3rd party support. Good thing Nintendo is focusing entirely on America for the first time since 1983.

@Nintendude-Still extremely biased towards Japan. The Japanese Wii U VC is way better than ours, plus read TetrisDude's comment.
