Re: Lack of "OMG" Idea Explains Borderlands Wii U Absence

This is the only thing that makes me worry about Wii U.
It has grunt and innovation in abundance but it's the idea that some AAA developers may see the gamepad as a turnoff that has me thinking about Wii U's 3rd party support. The Pro controller is there for games just like Borderlands etc. Use it

This isn't the Wii. You're not forced to bolt on gimmicky control schemes anymore. Once again, use the damn Pro controller and port it on over.

Is this really worth it for what appears to be just a virtual fire place?
Blimey, I can look out the window over to Liverpool to catch a glimpse of a fire with no costs involved

I love you really Liverpool.

We also know what Nintendo did and continues to do for video gaming. It's arguably Nintendo that is the biggest reason for most people gaming rather than Atari especially after the mess of '83. Nintendo is, was and will continue to be a lot more relevant, a lot more successful and a lot more popular than Atari is, was and ever will be.

Atari has had it's day and it's time to tuck it in, read it a story and turn off the light. For good.

Pretty sure that practice is not just exclusive to Nintendo.
At least they didn't need to resort to giving away TV's and taxi fares home in parts of the UK like a certain other company when they launched here in order to shift stock.

Ah, memories

"The thing is that if you care about CoD, you would have a PS3 or X360 and be playing those games on there!"

It doesn't belong to PS3 and 360. It's a multiplatform game. Wii U owners may not own a secondary console. It wouldn't make any sense to buy a 2nd console to play a game that is already available on the console they currently own.

You invest in a secondary system to enjoy console exclusives not multiplatform games.

We can only hope that collaborations of any sort do not materialise. The industry needs competition.
Saying that, I've often thought of what would happen should we ever have a Wii60 like console between Nintendo and Microsoft. I could be wrong but I've always gotten the impression of an unspoken almost gentlemanly respect between the two companies. Sony as much as I respect them, come across as being almost like rabid dog most of the time. Snarling away with its pure unchained grunt. Not really willing to properly embrace change or innovation.
The Wii and 360 compliment each other incredibly well both with vision, innovation and software. Both are cheap too. That helps

The fanboys better sell their cars in preparation. They want it but they'll be the first to complain when the price hits home. All 3 companies are now HD capable. The only thing that will make an impact anymore is pricing.

We will never have our N64 moment again.
Companies are taking baby steps towards ruin. Rein it in a bit.

Of course games no matter how good can be improved upon but you have to acknowledge that to some people, a cherished game they like will be treated as their best game ever. To them, they may even see it as perfect.
You can't really argue with that.

It is after all, their humble opinion.

There is no such thing as the "best game ever" in a definitive sense. There can't be but it can be applied to someone and their personal views and enjoyment of the game they like the most
I happen to think Earthbound is the best RPG ever but is it? Of course it's not but from the RPG's I've played the title fits perfectly.

Apparently, HMV have had more (albeit small amounts of) Wii U's delivered. Whether this is allocated store to store or just online I'm unsure.

To those seeking one, give them a ring. Good luck!

Of course Wii U is more powerful (by how much? Who knows yet.)
PS3 and 360 are 6 year old consoles.
Nintendo would have to go out of their way to make Wii U worse and less powerful. At the very least, Nintendo would have wanted it on par with 7th gen systems not sub par. This is a developer more suited to porting games back and forth between systems they're more at home with. Wii U is brand new hardware remember. This is just a sloppy port I bet
With 3 systems with different innards, one version is bound to have slight flaws in performance. Overall, BLOPS2U seems to hold its own when compared to it's 7th gen brethren.
