Can't wait to see what the rest of the world does. It will also be interesting to see how this affects the Wii U in late November.
I'm happy it's doing well. But all this is going to do is harm sales of the Wii U version. Unless people love it, and hate having to play it on a handheld. Maybe that could force some sales on Wii U.
Man, i can't wait.
people always countin nintendo out but if the past is any indication all it takes is one game for nintendo to get out of a rut. Watch 2015 the wii u is coming sony....although it might not catch it unless japan starts breeding like americans do :)
