DON'T LET YOSHIO SAKAMOTO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS STUFF.
Seriously, it wasn't Team Ninja's fault that Other M turned out the way it did. Sakamoto controlled and demanded every solitary thing about the game and Team Ninja was doing what they were told with no input. Sakamoto was the one that wanted all of those excessive monologues, the convoluted item system, and all of that jazz. He's a complete hack. If a more qualified individual from Nintendo or Team Ninja had creative control, it would make a better game, sure thing.
While I myself don't mind the graphical capabilities of the hardware, there is a fairly legitimate reason why it would be so important: multi-platform games. While these games existed throughout this generation, they oftentimes ignore the Wii due to its graphical and processing limitations, and when there was a title that made it to the Wii, they were generally botched due to how different the engine needed to be in comparison to the other two-plus versions. As clarified by the others, multi-platform games are generally more profitable for third-party developers due to how much more accessible it is to the general audience, and developers need that confidence to continue giving admirable support to the Wii U. That being said, Nintendo made a smart move by acting first, as it will definitely help the console last after launch (provided that no other console is announced before that time).
@bossmark The main problem people have with Origin is that it's quickly built a reputation of being "commercialized spyware". The service allegedly scans your computer data and surveys your activity. That alone is enough to not like it.
For me, it's tough to decide. Super Mario World, Super Metroid, and A Link to the Past are all ridiculously good games.
P.S. Mario is Missing, Mario's Time Machine, and the Mario's Early Years games are in the image, but Super Metroid and A Link to the Past aren't?! For shame.
Solar looks nice. O_o And I agree with Robb. Even though I don't mind the new voices as much as some other people, having an option for the original voices is a necessity, especially considering this is one of the most quotable games in existence.
Here I was... Here I was hoping that Capcom could redeem themselves after constantly re-releasing the same games over and over again. Here I was thinking they could make up for being DLC whores for a game that technically had the DLC characters on the disc. Here I was predicting they would justify the cancellation of Mega Man Universe in some way. Here I was assuming they would provide gamers with a truly fresh experience that isn't just a rehash of an extra mode in a console game.
But when they cancelled this game, one that many people wanted to see the light of day, poured their ideas and support into, and waited over a decade for its highly anticipated release, I officially lost all hope in Capcom.
Capcom, I think the best way I can describe you at this point is the new Rareware: The company that dominated the industry in terms of gameplay and creativity, but over time sunk into a new low by disrespecting their fans, making a quick buck, and refusing to put any form of effort into producing anything even remotely refreshing. Put bluntly, f*ck you.

I'd be okay with this on one condition:
