I wonder how hard AlphaIchimoru has to work to be so ridiculous? It sounds exhausting.

@AlphaIchimoru
I really, really doubt those 14 year old children care the slightest about what the systems are being used for. And neither should we.

Pretty cool to see it more or less fuse together with the gamepad. Also, gigantic facepalm for most of these comments. Who cares what he does with a system he bought?

Simon is high as a kite and has no clue what's going on.

Hey, couldn't be worse than Other M. I say give them a shot with it.

Wow, that's really not a flattering picture at the top of the article.

Only two companies rejected his idea? That must make him the luckiest man in the history of business.

@HarmoKnight
The Wii U Basic comes with 8 GB storage, exactly the same amount as the original Xbox. I never the said the original Xbox had 32GB nor was I at any point talking about the PS2.

@Magnet_Man018
Of course you can. That doesn't change the fact that it's still annoying.

@HarmoKnight
I'm honestly not sure what you mean. I was talking about the Wii U releasing with the same amount of storage as the original Xbox. I never mentioned anything about games.

This has been one of my biggest beefs with the Wii U. Releasing a console in 2012 with the same amount of memory as a console released in 2001 is ridiculous.

That's.....really something.

Better than the first, for sure. The collision detection has been somewhat improved which makes it feel far more fair than the first.

@ChunkyDroid
Come on now. We both know that's not something unique to Nintendo.

@HarmoKnight
Not the same thing.

@SandersEvers
That doesn't even make sense.

That's unfortunate. Achievements/trophies are popular and it seems silly to forgo them altogether.

To be fair to EA all three games have already been programmed for the 360 and two of them for the PS3. Putting the trilogy out for those systems didn't really take anywhere near as much effort (Well, more effort for the PS3 I guess since it never saw part 1) as it would to bring to the Wii U.

I've always seen Kirby as a Lovecraftian horror that won't stop until he's consumed everyone on the planet, so he's lost my vote.

Now I'm curious as to much it costs to go through the approval process. It can't be that much.....can it?

@c1pher_c0mplet
I like how you praised TBD's post and yet still went completely off-topic, which is precisely what she asked people not to do.

@HarmoKnight
And looking over the comments it's pretty obvious which ones they were baiting to drive up traffic.

I'm not blind to the game and I know that NL needs page hits for advertising dollars but between this and the Patcher articles it really makes me wonder if they care if they obtain those hits through actual news or stirring the pot.

@Damo
"Given that this topic already has 50 replies and lots of hits, it's clearly something people are interested in - obvious marketing spin or not."

Looking at most of the comments in the thread tells me more that it's fanboy bait than something they find interesting.

As long as the voice acting is better than what Symphony of the Night had I'll be happy.

As several people have said, this is marketing talk. Judging by the 80+ comments here a sizable number of people don't seem to realize that.

The Mortal Kombat reboot was excellent so I'm pretty excited for this one.

Eh, the PS3/360 version was pretty bad and I doubt this will be much better even with the new features.

It's gotta be the controller that's forcing them to sell it at a loss. I imagine within a year or they'll probably be selling it at cost or for a slight profit.

That black mage casting the spell in the picture is looking at a 10 yard penalty minimum.

The most disturbing thing about this story are the posters that say "I worked when I was a kid, so I have no problem with this". Either they have reading comprehension problems or a serious lack of empathy.

@grimbldoo
Nobody ever said doing the right thing was easy.

@Araknie
If Nintendo were doing the "right thing" they would have dumped Foxconn years ago. They share as much guilt as everyone else that works with them.

Be it companies using conflict minerals in the construction of electronics to stories like this the sad thing is that most people are willing to ignore it as long as they can get shiny new gadgets for cheap.

@HarmoKnight
That's a terrible way to judge games. Given that method I would have never touched 99% of what Nintendo puts out.

@accc
And cash money says you've never played it and have no idea what you're talking about.

Guy with the blue hair seems to be packing several extra nipples.

@tanookisuit
"I hope we see some lovely news stories come out launch day of these scammers on the craigslist side getting to a 'meet up' to get the crap kicked out of them and their system taken after the 'buyer' leaves them the retail price plus tax and gas on their twitching body on the ground."

Wow. What a fine gentleman you are, hoping for violent assault on people reselling systems. Bravo.

I probably shouldn't point out that I do this every time a new console comes out. I never make that kind of profit but there's easy money to be had.

@Lord_Ghirahim
Since it says it took place at the 10/06/12 game I'm doubting this particular video has been around for years.

Awesome!

@Metabble_King
It's real.

Good news.

Oh my. Look at these comments.

The more they say this the more it seems like whistling past the graveyard.

Like I've said earlier you almost have to admire the balls it takes to do something like that. I guess EA was tired of Activision being considered the greediest publisher and decided to really ramp up their efforts.

"...People have to leave the current paradigm behind to understand what we are trying to do. "

Marketing BS alert triggered!

Pretty common knowledge, I thought. Also: Boobs!!!

Angry Birds hate on this site? No way!

Really, Angry Birds is a fine little title although 300 hours of it seems a bit overkill.

They'll always be Mario Mario and Luigi Mario to me.

The question is will it stay exclusive? Hopefully it will for the sake of Wii U but it's not like "exclusives" haven't made the jump before.

Huh....Maybe I'll dust off my Wii to give this a shot. I'm a little skeptical I'll find it as good as Marcel did but we'll see.
