Re: Zombi Reveal Trailer Suggests That Wii U Gamers Need Not Be Too Jealous

@Kirk I can agree with most of your argument, however, stating that ZombiU in anyway pushed the Wiiu on a graphical level is plain comical. I would go as far as to say that the graphics in ZombiU are barely bett er than Resident Evil 4 for Gamecube. Even Metroid Prime looks better than ZombiU. I thoroughly enjoyed ZombiU and my only issues with it were the glitches, the under par graphics and the lack of consistency with the cricket bat damage. I had a game breaking glitch right at the end of the game on my first playthrough and the cricket bat would explode a Zombies head in one hit sometimes while taking as much as 8 hits on another. Oh and the glitch I experienced was not being able to use manholes after I dow load/uploaded the cure at the end of the game and died.

Re: Don't Worry, Samus Will Be In Metroid Prime: Federation Force

What Nintendo either doesn't understand or fails to recognize, is that the fan anger is based less on what this games is or us not and more based on them announcing this and not a sequel to any known Metroid series. People would have been much more welcoming if either a sequel to Prime or Super Metroid had been announced in tandem with this game. I don't have a preference to 2D or 3D Metroid as long as they make another one and soon. Nintendo do waits far to long between releases of games not titled Mario.

@BinaryFragger for example, can't play Mario 64 without an analog stick, the ds port had terrible control. Can't play Wii Sports without the Wii mote. F-Zero GX and the analog triggers. I will admit that Nintendo has really messed up proving why the gamepad is appealing with the Wii U. I do agree that the games are more important than the hardware but my point was that Nintendo innovates games by innovating hardware. They just forgot to actually do it this gen

@bluedogrulez I understand your sentiment but I disagree. The new super Mario series hasn't really changed much in a long time but they still make them. F-Zero is a game that fans are clamoring for, same with Metroid. Nintendo's refusal to provide these fans with what they want is both maddening and concerning. I love Nintendo but sometimes they make ridiculously bad decisions, Wii U second screen isn't one of them but failing to prove why it is necessary is. ZombiU is still the best use of the second screen and that was a 3rd party launch game.

While this E3 wasn't reassuring that Wii U will have a life beyond next year, it didn't spell the doom that thus article is fabricating. Knowing Nintendo, they will show NX at next year's E3 only to release it in holiday 2017. What they do to fill the gap between now and then is the real issue. Nintendo held their cards close to their chest for a long time but recently have been much more open. I'm hoping they can surprise us in the next 6-12 months, otherwise Wii U's future does not bode well.
