For those saying that we already have this with the DS line. Yes and no. Yes, two screens are used at the same time, but they are pretty much connected to each other. With the Wii U you have two completely separate screens, and when playing a console game I assume most of you do not look at your controller whilst also looking at the TV.
To those suggesting people can watch 3+ screens at once. While this is true, I doubt they are completely involved in the action on all three screens at the same time. I can have my TV, my laptop, my phone, my 3DS, my Vita, my DS all on at the same time, but I cannot put my full focus into all items.

@Adam I don't think the problem with Origin is that it's awful, it's just that it isn't doing anything new for digital distribution. It's just steam but with a different company.
Kickstarter is based solely on the charity of others. And I'm sure many people (and I find it myself) quite rude the attitude you bring to the creation of a project.
Yes you can do it all yourself, but I must of missed it in the rulebook where it said you can get help from others.
You're paying for: "We'll hire a full time artist to make the game shine in all its glory.
We'll find an animator to help polish the game and make some awesome cinematics.
If the project gets over funded then we will go really crazy. The AI gets more powerful the more obstacles we design for the game. Every time we add a new obstacle the AI quickly learns how to use it and then can immediately start designing levels with it, combining it with any of the other obstacles already in the game. The same is true for heroes. We can design new heroes, with totally new physics and controls, and the AI will figure out how to design levels specifically for that hero. This leads to an awesome combinatorial explosion of insane potential, and the more funding we get the more material we can give to the AI to make really unique levels and a truly awesome experience."
This is what Kickstarter is for. If you want to buy the game, wait for it to be released. Otherwise, support Pwnee Studios (run by Leslie Knope) and if you contribute enough get a reward.
@kkslider5552000 I'm waiting for you to use Mass Effect and Assassins Creed as a rebuttal to Mass Effect and Assassins Creed.
Frankly, I'd love for Zelda to go along this part. Because lets face it, pretty much every Zelda is the same, all that happens is a new coat of paint and a new story is written.
What I would love to see with Zelda (and it's hard now later down the track) is for each game to be completely different from another, ala Final Fantasy. You still keep the basics but change everything else.
You can just use AEST, (Australian Eastern Standard Time). When it isn't daylight savings you get Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Tasmania all in one. Then people in Central and Western Australia can easily subtract the time difference.
Why do you use Canberra time James? Nobody lives in Canberra.
Also, as much as these times are much better than the 2am E3 conference, will still catch up on it all with the excellent coverage here on NintendoLife.
@Jumbif I'm pretty sure that rjejr was going along the lines of driving on land, on water and flying in the air all in one race. Last time I checked, you can't fly in the air in Diddy Kong Racing.

@TimboBaggins I'll do you better and name you one.

Re: Wii U Power Lacks a 'Generational Leap'
Gaming is an experience.
Graphics add to that experience.
Let's do a little poll.
Two games. One has the same gameplay, same audio, same story, yet the graphics are different. One is bad, one is good.
I doubt that you would enjoy a game that aesthetically looks shocking over a game that looks pretty.
Graphics do matter.

Re: Tomb Raider Not Coming to Wii U
^What?
@Gamesake Do you really care that much about what games people might wanna play?
I was always gonna pick this up on PS3 so this changes nothing. Sad for the U though.
Re: Reaction: Your Opinions on Nintendo's E3 Conference
My biggest issue was that most of the information given was already known.

@WaveBoy Did you just use Katy Perry and hit in the same sentence?
Also, to everyone who doesn't want it, don't buy it.
Everyone will buy it though when it's revealed Gaga is on it
Re: E3 2012: Wii U to Launch in White, Black Available "Later"
Seeing as they were heavily showing the Black console this seems a bit silly.
Re: E3 2012: Transfer Wii Save Data and Shop Purchases to Wii U
Do we know if that includes online save data.
Great news even if it doesn't.

Re: Nintendo Teases Wii U Launch Line-Up
Subtitle should have been the waiting hurts.
NSMBW is 20. So if they drop the Wii and add something else that could either be the 19 or the 27.
Apparently I cannot count.

What are you trying to say?
Re: Pledge to Cloudberry Kingdom, Get It Free on Wii U
@Mercury9 You seem to be under the impression that developers such as Pwnee are able to fund games like Nintendo can.
Re: Pledge to Cloudberry Kingdom, Get It Free on Wii U
It's already made. They're using these funds for polish.

Re: Redesigned Wii U Tablet Controller Is Revealed
@Haywired @grumblebuzzz What, do you expect a tablet to be the size of this?
Re: Redesigned Wii U Tablet Controller Is Revealed
Changes seem good.
Let's hope they changed the tablet part of the controller.

Announce it now and get more attention pre-E3.
Announce it at E3 and have the possibility of getting lost under a sea of new stuff.

There are only two game on that list that interest me. So as it still stands, won't buy a Wii U for a while.
