I just hope that both of us are wrong in the end :) --- End quote --- Me too to both of these points. --- End quote --- I agree as well. I hope so badly that I'm wrong. Also, one thing that kinda irked me was that the only game they really showed off was another New Super Mario game? I mean, you make this brand new console with all of this revolutionary hardware...... And then you turn around and churn out another 2D platformer that can be played with two buttons and a D-pad? Where's the revolution in that? It's essentially a reboot of the game we've been playing since 1985, and THAT is all you're bringing to the table to show off a revolutionary console? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a good game, just like all the other Mario platformers, but come on. If they opened up the Wii launch showing NSMBWii with people sitting on the couch playing with the controller sideways, it would not have been successful at all. The Wii showed launch videos of people doing crazy stuff with their consoles! Now with Wii U... I can play Mario on a device that's dangerously similar to an iPad, or I can flick it up to my TV... Whoopie. |

Does everyone bitching about the Wii realize how much more successful it has been over other systems..? It doesn't need to be all that more special, xbox has no "Mario" figure to compete with and the PS3 has been an overpriced disappointment from day one with its big bad ass technology and no good games to play. And that slogan makes me laugh, "It Only Does Everything" lmao! They came up with that AFTER they took away its only 85% PS2 backwards compatibility ;D |

Yeah, hopefully that was just some sort of program update to the current NSMB Wii game that let's you move the game to the new control tablet. If they make Mario game it should be full blown HD 3d Mario whit innovative non-gimmicky support fo the new control tablet. Maybe with Dennis Hopper (R.I.P) as Bowser! ;D |

Yeah, right. Aside from the techdemo with the bird and the very short glimpse of Zelda in HD (which when it comes out might look entirely different) all we saw as very Wii like. Maybe I'm just spoiled nowadays but a full price game for a new console shouldn't look like a downloadable XBL or PSN game for $5 - $15. I'm guessing drop the next bomb in a few months showing us actual Wii U graphic. The interview with Reggie over at Gametrailers.com at least specified some details. He was dodging many questions and didn't want to tell too much but at least he said that it will be able to have 1080p graphics, a proprietary optical medium, suppsedly in the range of a BluRay as far as storage capacity is concerned, an online service and it will be a competetive hardware with competetive pricing. So maybe they won't do anything too fncy with the hardware and will be able to sell it at the price the PS3 and Xbox360 are at right now. Honestly, I think they are just teasing us :D They wait until after the holiday season when they sold enough copies of Zelda Skyward Sword, which will be one, maybe THE, last of their big titles for Wii and THEN they pick up the pace discussing the Wii U. |

No real good games except Mario Galaxies and maybe Zelda and Metroid prime 3. And even those were good DISPITE the gimmick controls. |
