Gearbox: "No Other Platform Can Do What Wii U Can"

Sounds like Ninty will be the massive headline act at E3 exploding with awesomeness. The screen will obviously display the alien tracker and I hope you can use that gun shell with the nunchuck + wiimote + wii u pad on top configuration. Gonna be fully sick.

"...opens up their Kimono"? That expression struck me as odd, but good to know that developers are stoked about the Wii U...

I like how developers are showing interest in the new ideas they are able to implement on the Wii U. I think that's what people don't get. Nintendo doesn't compete on the graphics race because it is more focused on how we can better use what's already available to make an even better gaming experience.

That's why no matter what system Nintendo makes, I'll always buy their products; to support innovation in the industry.

But to round out, I will also always buy the Xbox's and PS's to support traditional gaming. I'm not the target audience for these social/mobile games. I need the physical input and engrossed dynamics of home consoles and dedicated handhelds.

Wow, only 68 days until e3. It still feels like a long way off but that's just around 2 months! I'm excited this year for the reveal of the Wii Us future and games! (and 3ds of course)

Opens their kimono and "hilariously fails at erotic content for wiiU".

I can see the headlines already. In other news, wiiU will be awesome, and please use the perfect tilt function for supersleek aiming, btw...

To be fair that is the least what you expect of a company like Nintendo. That's kind of what they specialise in.

That's nice, glad someone said its better than the CURRENT GEM systems. Sorry, still nothing appealing on the system yet. Something better be announced at E3, otherwise I'll wait for the price drop and 20 free "I'm sorry" titles that are offered 4 months after launch.

After the Zelda demo, and it looking like a cutscene, my friend said he wasn't gonna get a Wii U. When I asked him why not he said "I don't want my games looking like movies"... He shut up when I told him that's like saying the 3DS's games look like movies.

E3 is so far away...

@vonseux they are a magnificent HD

Eh. But what happen's when the next xbox has compatibility with Windows 8 tabelst and the PS4 (orbis?) uses the vita or Sony tablets as an alternate control scheme.

and isn't that flawed logic and a but hyperbole. I mean when we get to E3 and wii u doesn't have Cloud saving or apps like ESPN them i'm going to be mad.

this needs to be released on the wii U. it's looks so impressive. but it's really good to see developers seeing potential in the wii U. i don't believe it will experience the same fate as the wii because i think the wii U will have less shovelware.

i think the more quality third party support for the console, the better.

i wonder,because there has been bad feedback about the spec that devs are trying to reasure hardcore gamers intrest?

Awesome! Bring Borderlands 2 to Wii U!

when i read the headline i thought to myself "they are right.. no one else of the competitors launches that massive expectations just to ruin them by non-action during the actual life cycle of the console" :/

Everyone wanting a 'mote and chuck option: It's understandable that you want it, but I believe once we get our hands on it, that the dual analogue plus accelerometer aiming system will be just as accurate.

Did you? Did you have to do that? I wasn't thinking about how long it was until E3 until now. 68 days, that seems like an eternity.

Along with all this, I really want to see at least SOMETHING about Pikmin 3 already!

Think of the Wii U mutiplayer modes online. Think a more horror style horde mode where Only one person can use the Wii mote as the heartbeat sensor from the movies with everyone else having to stay close or be killed.

@shingi_70 Nintendo would probably be releasing another console by that time. I am only basing this off of past history with Nintendo's 5/6 year console release. Besides by then people would have either bought a wii u, and those who aren't nintnedo fans will join in the fun.

@vonseux thats probably because he was talkin about the controls. I am disappointed on how slow Nintendo life post these things up late. This was posted up yesterday by another site.

Eh, I'm jaded to developers hyping it. I'm going to need to see something substantial to get excited.

Miyamoto, Iwata? I love you guys, but please keep the kimonos closed.

kimonos? open? Im hoping (dreaming) nintendos a girl then :F

Hopefully the Wii U is GC remote compatible as well. There are some games that just need it.

I just thought of something that I saw in the Wii U reveal video. Remember how they used the Wii U controller to use as a sniper scope? Imagine using that as an optional way to aim down the sight in a Call of Duty Wii U?

@kyuubikid213 Oh man, I can't wait for CoD on the 3DS and Wii U.

You know this may seem to be a bit odd of a question, but who's hands are those holding the Wii U tablet? How do you think they feel about seeing their hands on news sites and gaming networks everywhere?

Is it just me, or does this Wii U controller seem like a bigger 3DS or DSi? I think its too clunky for today's tech standards. What would be cool is if you could use your 3DS or DSi as a controller and/or just use a standard joystick. I never liked the Wii Remote, but I know I'm in the minority here.

@kyuubikid213 yeah, i like the sound of that. would work for this game, as well as a metroid game that is similar to the prime series.

Nintendo tryna take over again ! No flags on the play this time around i hope.

I don't care how "cool" these developers call that controller. I'm not buying any FPS that requires me to use dual analog sticks. Period. No Wii remote functionality = no buy.

I think Nintendo's idea with the Wii U is "Choice." So I imagine that the WiiMotion Plus and Classic Controller Pro will feature heavily in most Wii U titles. (Unless they want you to play a certain way - like in OTHER M and K.I. UPRISING)

Having seen the movies(sans Prometheus due to lack of a TARDUS) I know that the Wii U controller will be used for detecting aliens and other life forms. I be one control scheme will have you with a Wiimote in one hand and and the new controller in the other, likely using the left analog stick for movement. Multiplayer will likely have a "battle medic" who will hold just the Wii U controller or the aforementioned scheme.

@grimbldoo I really dnt see how some games need it. Seeing how it wont support game cube games and It has a classic controller anyway!

@grumblegrumble no that would not work, i understand where your coming from but if u do that then u would have to play with 3 screen and that's WAY too much to concentrate on. i think the one big small screen is a great idea. Besides, i think there was discussion on this topic already.

all I can say is I can't wait for the Wii U, and E3 2012 can't come fast enough

@Assassin87

Windows 8 tablets are slated for this year and the xbox 720 is rumored for next year. so yeah.

I think that it will be awesome when the wiiu comes out //// will it take regular wii games

Time for me to use the Old slogan.
NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH POWER.

Now these guys have their heads in the right places (just not about the Kimono part, which i find kind of racist). There is a lot of things the Wii U will be able to do. Who knows how long it will take till the consoles can cook your food of make phone calls (i guess that would already be considered as an iPhone or any smartphone).

@shingi_70 What???

@shingi_70 Oh, and i really dnt see the point of Microsoft releasing or announcing it next year. There's nothing really they can do with it. Graphics have hit a wall and really the only thing Microsoft and Sony can do with the new consoles is come up with some new way to play games that haven't already been done. So personally i think it would be kinda pointless for them to waste money like that.
