@ferthepoet I'd love a Football Manager for the U. Add the option to choose between manager and/or player career, a good online matching/ranking system, and you've got a millions seller. And much better than what Fifa could ever be.

Well, now Konami has all the Umarket for PES.

UK focusing on the U, eh? It's all good for U owners and/or Nintendo fan, but I hope they'll start advertising massively on tv and newspapers. That's the only way to draw in more people.

I'd love me some Chaos Engine, or even some adventure like Flashback. One can dream.

So what about PS4? I thought its cpu ain't that "powerful" too.Looks like they'll need to do a new Frostbyte for next-gen consoles.

I'm happy with my 3DS XL. The U gamepad, on the other hand...

My interest stat for this just went up +1000! And I don't usually like episodic and/or digital only titles.

@Damo Careful, now, or the next Sun article will be "3DS addicted comes clean".

@Ren I did you a favour. At least now your words are saying something more close to what's really happening. If you honestly believe that, fine, but that's not what the reality is. Do you know how many dev studios have closed since the beginning of last gen (2006), and how many more laid off large numbers of staff? Do you know how much it cost to develop a so-called AAA game, and how many copies it needs to sell to recoup the costs?
Wii U is "up to snuff" with the other "next-gen" consoles, both PS4 and 720 are not going to be CPU intensive, according to the specs we know. So multiple development is not a problem. Only big difference that we know at the moment is in the RAM difference. Not a deal breaker. When the first details about the Wii U specs started to come out, everybody was saying 'Wow, 2GB of RAM, that's huge!' -and it is, compared to PS3/360 specs. Now everybody is raving about the PS4 8GB, lol. Simply put, power is not the right way for consoles. If you care about specs and graphic, get a good gaming PC.
Real question is why so many people, including devs, are talking BS about the Wii U? I can understand fanboys/trolls, they're young and if that's their way of having fun, who cares. But I'm sure you can understand that when a dev, linked by a working relationship to Sony, for example, start talking down (in a subtle or not so subtle way) a Nintendo (or MS, for that matter) product, well other reasons (much more vulgar) come to mind.
I'm aware of the mistakes Nintendo has made in relation to the Wii U, and they all boil down to advertising it/promoting it.
And yes, I'm enjoying my Wii U, as much as I'm enjoying my PS3, as I'm sure I'll be enjoying the PS4 once it'll starts getting games I like.

@Ren "This industry can't survive and keep up with what the market demands. Development is too expensive now. Nintendo makes great games, that's just what they are. That is what I signed up for AND I'm not disappointed."
Couldn't have said it better.

Colour me interested.

@DaemonSword What? Lord British himself? Wow!

So many people here don't know what they're talking about. I'm a Sony fan too, but seriously, if people don't own a console and only comes here to bash it, it's just sad. For them, I mean. It just makes me wish there was an ignore button on NL, lol.

Wow, I'm sure in this case videogames are not the main issue, but I'm slightly disturbed by the amount of people defending brutal violence in videogames. I personally think we have enough killings and unnecessary violence in the real world, why should we 'enjoy' it in videogames? And again, not saying videogames (or entertainment in general) are to blame for all of what's bad in the world, but it doesn't look like a good sign to me when some of the most successfull franchises are about ways of killing other -albeit digital- people.

They should have asked for advice to the kings of puns, the NL team!

I thought some EA guy said it will come out on EVERY platform, eventually.

I read it's episodic. No from me then.

So people nowadays likes to play on the go, and that's why they'll buy...the Ouya console?! Yeah, that makes sense...

I'm all against unnecessary and extreme violence in videogames (or any other form of entertainment), and I think if there is a chance, even slim, that someone could be badly influenced by it, it should be taken in consideration.
Having said that, the real question everyone should answer (to themselves) is: Why do I like to play those kind of games (and no, not talking about MK or AC)?

Subscription fee? What's this trickery now?

@nameusage Don't think it would be enough money for it, but yeah, that's something I'd love to see. Hopefully already in the works.

Agree 100% with the review. They should have been free. And then, if they released longer ones with better def, maybe charge for a pack of them (tour of european cities, or US cities, for example).

Glad I waited for Zen Pinball. Anyone has any recommendation on which one is the best pack (of the one on offer, of course)?

He's just too fast for the human eye.

@rjejr Unless you're gaming 24/7 there's plenty on the Wii U to keep you entertained. I love my PS3, but if you think it'll be better if Nintendo went third party, you didn't think this through I'm afraid. Nintendo is, of the big 3, the only gaming-only company, they need to have their hardware, as that's what's allowing them to make the beautiful 1st party games we all know and love.

@Gavin_Rozee I second that.

They should do both, this is no time to hold fire. Fire at will, I say!
Zelda U? Mario Kart U? Mario 3D U? Smash Bros U? That would hold against any console launch.

So I take you didn't like it, then?

Can't be excited about excitebike (>//<) I'm afraid.
All I hope is the upgrade does what they say, and it adds a tad more stability. I'm tired of having to unplug my system from the main when it freezes.

@manu0 Either they think we don't need it or they want us as dumb as possible, lol.

Why no news from Konami and PES? I'd be more inclined to purchase that, at this point.

Both will benefit from the collaboration. Once Wii U start having a stronger user base, hopefully by the end of the year, I think EA will come round.

New titles for Shenmue, Panzer Dragoon, Jet Set Radio, Space Channel 5 and Ecco the Dolphin would suffice, thanks Sega.

I still care enough to wait for a review before making my mind on the game.

@Grubdog Never had much faith in UK gaming population. But yes, Lego City really is a gem. Is doing better everywhere else, apparently, so good news for TT.

@diddybeats http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/41357/USA/

Games sells system? What a surprise. In US sales are up 196%, LCU is #4, MH3U #9, and no thanks to price drops.

Top game, online is ridiculously addictive.

@PvtOttobot
So much this...

Great news, let's hope it won't take a whole...life to get here..

I've done my bit.

Objection!

Glad I pre-ordered it.

Thoroughly enjoyed the review, extremely well written.

@FineLerv Well said. I'll add that I wasn't impressed by PS4 showing, didn't like the look of the DS4 at all, with that silly touchpad in the middle, but that's my opinion. Gamewise, yes I liked Watchdogs and Deep Down, but if they're gonna end up on the Wii U I can't see a reason to fork out £400-500 for it. With that said, I'm also a Sony fan, so I'll probably end up buying it, I'll just wait for more games I like.

I like that! If the price is right, day 1 buy for me.

The only problem Nintendo has with the Wii U, at least in Europe, is advertising, or lack of it.

@Amigaengine
I was gonna post that, which IMO should have been in the main article, instead of those DF biased comments. I sadly notice no one took notice of your post, of course. Go figure...
