@Banker-Style I thought they'd uncancelled it. I was like hell yeah and now I'm like what the hell. Darn, what a crappy problem. Hopefully games w/ lots of comments that are cancelled aren't "hot games." But Ubisoft, if you guys revive this...see how much we want this. Just revive it, you'll make way more $ than ACIII: Liberation did.
Hilarious pictures. The first CPP was bearable, and it fitted in my jacket pocket, but the CPP XL can forget it. If the 1st CPP was as big a my X360 controller, the CPP XL will be like a Wii U controller. Literally.
Nintendo PC: hooks up to your TV and runs Windows 8. With the Nintendo app launcher, your PC will boot into Wii U mode.
Nintendo Phone: a 3DS w/ a CPP built-in, 3G/4G support, a better mic, better cameras, a better CPU + more ram (for more multitasking apps), and runs like the PC I mentioned earlier, but w/ Android 4.0.
I liked the 1st, but it wasn't as good as I expected it. I'd like more level variation, as in enemies, not just environments. Also, more abilities gained similar to power ups would be nice too.
I love my 360, but this takes guts. Really? How desperate is Microsoft? This is like asking a woman to dump their current boyfriend for you. Halo & the 360's dominance in the US are the only reasons a 360 is worth buying at this point in its lifespan, so I'd say go w/ Wii U now. Unless you want Halo 4 a lot, it's not worth the Xbox Live fees, console age, etc. I want Halo 4 a lot though, and I was offered a 360 for my birthday several months ago, so I asked for it over savings for the Wii U. Besides Halo 4, MGS: Ground Zeroes & GTA5 are the only games to look forward too. Sounds like a sound investment to me. I do suppose Forza 4 is great too, but even then, is it still worth it?
@Bejeeta When you think about it, yes. Wii U may very well become a budget system in 2015, when a new next-gen (not just UI & networking wise, but tech spec as well) Nintendo console launches. Interesting, especially considering the DS' intended history.
Well, I guess if I get CoD: BO2, it'll be for my 360 then. I'm better off w/ Halo 4 & Scribblenauts Unlimited for my Xbox 360 & 3DS. Not to mention when I'll even get a Wii U. Perhaps when a new Zelda/Metroid is announced?
@TheRavingTimes Sucks for Sony like being betrayed in an ironic hilarious way; on the other hand, Lambert's relations w/ Sony are a bit shaky. I lived those PS3 ads though - they're hilarious.
Give me a break. Kids know animal fighting is wrong. I suppose at this point we might as well ban action movies because they suggest violent acts. When will PETA realize they only make fools out of animal lovers? The ASPCA is where it's at. If I want to help animals w/ donation money some day, I'll donate to the society that helps animals, not the one that wastes time & money in meaningless campaigns like this.
@kyuubikid213 Yeah. Stop competing w/ Wii U. Put out a PS4 that outdoes the 720 and give us more Vita games. I don't have one, but there isn't much for its users right now. Like the 3DS, but worse. Assassin's Creed & Call of Duty should help revitalize it though.
Got ME3 for my 360, and the Kinect voice commands worked great. I'm assuming no, but did they port those over to the Wii U? I'm not getting it again, so it doesn't concern me, but I'm just curious.
Nice. It looks good. As for 3DS, considering Capcom has MT Framework mobile for their games, and other devs pull off other good stuff too, it's not all that bad without it.
@zezhyrule They can do it, but not better. I think you meant more, as in get a portable too. It's just that unless you already have a PS3/Vita, it costs more to get both instead of a Wii U.
@dew12333 That's just as blind as what Sony said. I kinda want one, and some people at my school do too. Heck, a few even have one. It's just that the entire PS3 user base doesn't want one, and no one will get the PS3 + Vita combo over the Wii U for what the Wii U does. I wish Sony would be more mature and said "If you are a loyal fan of ours and have both a PS3 + Vita, than you can do almost everything a Wii U can." Instead they try to market it like the Wii U, which is stupid. They shouldn't go beyond this: If you have a PS3 or Vita, you can upgrade for slightly less than a Wii U, and get the added bonus of having a portable.
Makes me want to see Microsoft get them developing great games again. They're wasting talent. Rare may not be what it used to be, but I think they still have some potential. If only it was used for more original games.
@Happy_Mask I know some Minecraft rip-off appeared on Xbox Live. If only Mojang sent the devs behind that game a creeper plush or something. Then again, they'd probably take that as a threat.
@0LD_SK0OL_PUNK I love those ones. "Survives Hiroshima; takes 1st train to Nagasaki & Visits World Trade Center; on September 11th" were good ones. Nintendo is pretty stupid on this one. Just sue them; they're like Zynga, but they don't just re-skin it - they make it ugly.
4,500 GB? I've only used about 20 GB of my Xbox 360's 250 GB hard drive. Those go up to 320. Game systems should have bigger max hard drive sizes than that, but 3 TB is crazy. If one thing about the Wii U will hold up well, whether or not Nintendo screws up the tech specs of the CPU & GPU, the storage will be on par w/ the stuff in 2020. I actually think that might happen. Not that the bundled hard drive's anything pretty. 32 GB is pretty cheap, but I suppose it's a good start.
What good does the wheel do you now? Most of these seem pretty cheap, or redundant, so when I get a Wii U (2013, after PS4/Xbox 720, or when the black ones comes out?) I'll pass most of these up.
@hydeks That's a bit much, a phone can be quite useful. I have some crappy phone that's no use for gaming, so I use my 3DS. If games like Resident Evil on it can get more marketing, richer game experiences could rise in demand.
@Hejiru Now THAT would be nice. Wii U & 3DS e-Reader + iBook store, Google Play, Amazon Kindle Store, & Nook Store. That might breathe some new life into it, and it could get extra publicity. I'd like to see anything to salvage it, as it's pretty good.
Too bad. I've read some, and it was great. Their staff is something else, I hope to see them get relocated in something else, perhaps Nintendo related. Working on some Xbox or Playstation thing wouldn't hurt either.
@I-U Haven't played this so I can't judge, but she sounded like a complainer enough. I'd love to see Retro doing Metroid again, but Team Ninja can do it again. Just Nintendo of America and the storyline guys need to go back to the drawing board in some respects (personalities and voice acting).
That's an awesome Harada picture. He was awesome in the Tekken ad w/ Yoshinori Ono. I actually wouldn't mind if Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft worked on a system, assuming they cooperated and Microsoft didn't try to tack on a pay service and ads.
When easy-to-play (playing a FPS on a phone/tablet feels like crap), fuller, longer phone games, and more large IPs get fully-fleshed-out games on other mobile devices, then we can start talking. Until then, Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil, Zelda, and more on my 3DS will work fine. Phones will and have shrunk the handheld market, but handhelds disappearing entirely is a bit far off. Not until they are on par w/ my 3DS and the Vita. Not without Nintendo & Sony's IPs backing phones up.
@brandonbwii Yeah. I already have it on my 360 though, so whether or not it has it is fine by me. But the Wii U fortunately has it on 1 disc, not 2 + DLC & patches.

Can't wait for this. Screenshots look better on my smaller 3DS screen since the images are blown up to bigger proportions on a PC monitor.

Cool. I wonder what they have in store. We'll see at the next TGS / E3 besides E3 '13 because that's too fast.

Improving the game seems good enough to me. Just fix things that were bad about the last to add new content.

Re: Wii Owners: Microsoft Wants You To Buy The Xbox 360 This Holiday Season

@BJQ1972 Check Pokemon Battle Revolution. Not that that did well or left a legacy or anything, so Sony should've done the math.
