I don't mean to detract from any hard work or talent on the part of whoever makes these - but whenever I see one of these videos - they never LOOK like Nintendo games, the art style, how the camera moves, the character animations/walk cycles etc etc.
Nintendo (or any other dev) has its own style and way of doing things. I feel like throwing Nintendo character models into Unreal/Unity/whatever is a bit of a futile exercise - their time and ability could probably be better spent on original creations.
Creativity/imagination and technical abilities are not the same thing.

@MitchVogel It is interesting to see this alongside the rumours of Dragon Quest on the NX... could be a sign of things to come. Maybe Nintendo are luring SE back.
Bah, I just bought Shin Megami Tensei IV two days ago. Still, I thought €19.99 was a good deal. It's a great game, if you think you might be interested you should definitely pick it up in the sale.
@6ch6ris6 oMg, how can u sa that, those aminals appeered to Shingeru Meyamoto in his dreams, when he went under a arch. Plese don't use such blaspemy on this web site. Anyway, all animals talk in space. Haven't you seen any space movies?
@Luna_110 It does seem more likely that they're working on playable prototypes for e3 next year.
I doubt they'd have a lot of 3rd party launch titles ready this time next year...There'll be a full on presentation of the console at e3 though. Holiday 2017 release. Either way, my body will be ready.
Also, thanks to all the whining they were obviously compelled to spill some on info on Samus appearing in the game, like bribing a bratty child with an ice cream in vain attempt to get them to shut up... Might have been nice to have had some element of surprise there.
This is getting so tedious... Why should Nintendo (or any developer) have to employ damage control and make excuses for any game they make? They can do what they like with their own IP. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
I wouldn't say I'm a hardcore Metroid fan but I do own all three main Prime games, and to me FF - outside of the fact that you know it's not Samus behind the visor - looks exactly like you'd expect a 3DS Prime game to look. Can't a 'spin-off' be part of the main series canon? My attitude is don't look a gift horse in the mouth, there'll clearly be a main series Metroid game for either the Wii U or the NX, and when it releases people will forget about all the whinging, crying and frankly ignorant and insulting (to the devs) attitude that's prevailing at the moment.
Also, to detractors, maybe try waiting to see if you enjoy the game when it releases, rather than crapping all over the work of talented people that you haven't even played yet.
Bayonetta would be really awesome. She's already fast, has loads of great moves and combos - she would make a great gunner/fighter combo or vice-versa - also, I can imagine an awesome down-B counter type move based on Witch Time... the more I think about it, the more I realise how awesome she would be!
The funny thing about the Wii U for me is that despite the limited library, I have bought and own FAR more games for it that any other console I've owned (about 20-30, not including a lot of great Wii games I've picked up as well).
I've also probably had the most enjoyment and value out of the Wii U compared to any other console... despite all the bad press it gets. I played The Last of Us on the PS4 in my house and was pretty much done with it (don't get me wrong, it is a great console). There's a lot of great PS4 games in the house but I just don't have time to look at them purely because the Wii U is keeping me busy and totally entertained.
When Nintendo stop supporting the Wii U, it'll still be sitting in my room, next to the NX (whatever that may be), hooked up to the TV, with many fond memories and games that still get played.

you should get a hard drive with an external power supply, apparently the USB powered ones can put strain on the Wii U console. I got one of these, it's pretty good: http://www.amazon.com/Book-External-Drive-Storage-Backup/dp/B0041OSQBG
