I have a lot of the tables on my PS3, and I can certainly recommend the DLC model. Each table is very full-featured and (at least on PS3) well priced for what it is. The nice thing is that they can keep releasing new tables as they go, so you're not limited to some small set of tables, and then waiting for a sequel or something, like Street Fighter games. Not sure about the Wii-U version, but most of the tables on PS3 have demos, so you can try for a bit, and if you like the table, you can buy it (which is awesome).

My question is, since I already have a lot of the tables on PS3, will there be any new tables released to landmark the Wii-U release? Otherwise, doesn't seem to be a reason to buy any new ones for my Wii U.

Also, any word on online-multiplayer (with video chat)?

@Koto I suppose, if you call ~12 years ago 'recent'. (I guess it's relatively recent, compared to Nintendo, but that's still quite a long time in terms of hardware/software development). To DePapier's point, it's certainly enough time to develop these 'fears of piracy', if they were to be merited.

[EDIT] And also remember that Sony even used to publish/develop software for Nintendo and Sega before PS One, so they understand the predicaments of pubishing software.

@DePapier What do you mean Nintendo are the only hardware company that makes games themselves? Sony has been doing this for ages, and I think so has Microsoft.

Naughty Dog (Uncharted), Polyphony Digital (GT5), Evolution Studios (Motorstorm) — those are all Sony studios.

Who the hell chat's when they're supposed to be Hunting?
