Wasn't too impressed with what Sony showed so far. All that streaming of games, downloads and updates is going to mean latency, even on decent Internet speeds. No backwards compatability for disc or digital Ps3 purchases, or the Dualshock 3 for that matter. Looking past all PR fluff I saw a prettier Killzone, tech demos and Ps4 versions of current gen games.

1wiierdguy commented on Talking Point: Time to Adjust Nintendo Direct ...:

Nintendo can't announce its major titles in development for after the launch window now. We all expect Sony and Microsoft to announce new hardware next year. Most likely at E3. Nintendo needs some big announcements then to grab some hype back. Sony and Microsoft announce their hardware. Nintendo responds here's the next 3d Mario title, Zelda looks like this and Mario Kart is coming.

1wiierdguy commented on Wii U Struggles to Make an Impact in the UK So...:

The concept of the Wii U just isn't as instantly appealing as the original Wii was. It's a system that you really have to go hands on with. It's then you understand. The convenience of off TV play. The allure of Miiverse. Unfortunately Nintendo made the same mistake they made with the 3DS launch. They relied on the appeal of third party games. They said it themselves. When they saw how many titles third parties were committing at launch, they held back on some of their planned 1st party releases. This has led to the launch games feeling a bit lacklustre. Reducing the overall excitement for the system.

As the posters above said, I hope Nintendo ID comes out before the launch of Wii U. It's going to be shared between 3DS and Wii U so a 3DS firmware update could let us set up our ID. Probs be just routine maintenance tho.

1wiierdguy commented on Talking Point: Five Reasons to Buy a Wii U:

It's a new Nintendo system. Nintendo have some of the best franchises in the business. No way I'm missing out on those. I tend to buy each piece of hardware from Nintendo and Sony. However if the 3rd party support for Wii U continues to be strong, I may just stick with Wii U only for next gen. :)

1wiierdguy commented on E3 2012: Our View of Nintendo's E3:

For me Nintendo most certainly did NOT win E3. After telling us that the Wii U would be a system to win back "core" gamers. Nintendo concentrated on what? SiNG, Just dance, Wii fit U and Nintendoland. WTF!
Ubisoft won E3. Nintendo could learn a lot from Ubisoft this year. Ubisoft still had the casual stuff, but the attention was on their core titles. It's their core titles everyone remembers and is talking about.
For me Nintendo sucked a lot of my enthusiasm for Wii U away. I had to look past Ninty's effort and seek out the info I wanted. The good news is there is enough good Wii U stuff to look forward to. Nintendo just didn't tell us about it themselves.

I still look forward to each Mario release. For me it hasn't been to much. Yet. I think the reason SM3dL seemed to lack innovation is because it was rushed out to prop up an at the time failing system. Mario Glaxy 2 was so good I can't complain. I think the huge success of NSMB on Ds led to a Wii version. The slow start to the 3ds is something Ninty doesn't want to repeat with Wii U, hence a Mario title very early in its launch window. I think after that Ninty will ease up on Mario for a while. People have already mentioned many Nintendo franchises that could use more love. I'd like to ass Waverace to that list.

You can tell straight away this was developed by Sumo Digital. The handling has that same feel as F1 2009 on Wii and Psp. You can definatley find and settle into a good groove once you learn a track. I have also yet to find a single multiplayer game. Dissapointing as racing against real opponents could make up for the dreadful AI somewhat.
