You know, maybe JUST maybe, nintendo is spending all their time perfecting their new games for us that they want our reaction to be the highest factor of WHAT THE !!!!!! (In a good way) possible. Once they are released youll thank them.

Those saying the system is expensive need to stop and think. It IS a next gen system with a fairly advanced controller so for 300$ thats not expensive when looking at the whole scheme of things. Say they went and added a bunch of needless hardware features. Say they added a bluray player. The 32 gig wouldve been 450$ or more. Say they added a standard harddrive like the ps360. Youre looking at an even worse price. Considering the industry now does 350 sound so expensive anymore? Be realistic. Considering what it is 350 is a great deal and waiting to release bigger titles gives people more time to plan accordingly. Nintendo isn't stupid. Remember the wii was a business decision. Don't gauge their future on the first quarter of sales. Thats ridiculous.

Considering the fact that this game was originally tailored for the ps360 hardware i was very impressed with the final result of the WiiU port. It could have ended up being a glitchy textureless mess.

Thats what you get for taking pierce brosnan out.

I stopped reading that comment after the hit at the "voice not being brit" part.

@madgear i agree to an extent. Its sort of redundant to have parental controls if looked at it that way.

Personally, this doesn't effect me. I can see how this could be an issue with some people but in my experience a lot of mature games that people buy are usually bought in store. If something like this is complained about there really isnt a real case. If you want the game and you have the money just go buy it. Better yet rent it. There is no warranty on a digital copy.

@Gigagator
Well i disagree on a couple things. One: the "inevitability" of the next consoles being noticeably stronger has yet to be seen and what i've personally seen so far isn't impressive. (As far as gaming goes). The way the WiiU is built may as well put it on a higher visual level. I've heard reliable sources say that it is going to support UR4 and cryengine 3 (at a higher level than the current gens are) we can than Retro for that. Everything i've seen seems to point to Retro saving the WiiU for hardcore games. At the very least it will bring the gaming market to a preference level instead of a "MY SYSTEM IS MORE POWERFUL" level.

Well Epic, gearbox, crytek, and square enix beg to differ sir. If gearbox, as a third party developer saying aliens is the best on the wiiu, succeeds there will be no excuse from third party guys.

Happy birthday, sir, and i hope for many many more.

@bezerker99 so taking time in development is lame? Gtfo

@Mr_Trill281 did you really call samus metroid?

Skrillex and the doors? Come on.

Omg a bad fur day hd? Lol

Its only matter of time before fire emblem wiiu is made. Thats gonna be cool.

Wow i feel dumb for selling my 3DS. I guess ill pick up the XL soon.

@Einherjar
There needs to be an "FYI" post about framerate because it seems that people's memory is terrible. Remember the launch for the 360? Yeah, perfect example. This is less a problem of capability and more developer motivation. What Nintendo really needs to do is make a BEAST of a first party title to show it's horsepower and third party guys will rethink themselves. Kind of like how Valve talked poo about the PS3 yet in the end apologized for being wrong.

@Jellitoe
I disagree. Considering that the WiiU has different hardware that developers are new to on consoles it's been nice. AC3 seems to be the best port. That being said what's been done as far as indie games have shown vast potential in all directions for the system. Maybe the launch, aside from sales, wasn't what everyone desired but the future looks exciting for Nintendo. For me the biggest surprises have come from aspects of their software. If anything, Nintendo pulled out a very nice interface. There's still a lot to be discovered about this system and that is something to be happy about.

I'm pretty impressed with these visuals. It makes me happy to see such dedication from indie developers. It's truly a good time to be a gamer. That being said, I can't wait to see more.

@Ren thats not the point.

@ajcismo you're kidding right? An hd WW. No. Just no.

@LordJumpMad
Lol really now? Gimmicks huh. Its been two weeks. Stop whining.

@Jaz007
They choose terrible PR guys. Namely, microsoft.

@defrb
Why does everyone seem to think the next systems will be better even when their information is public and proves to be about the same?

I swear I'm going to punch anyone near me that says "meh". Am i the only one annoyed by that word?

NIGHT WING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How old are some of these zelda fans on here? Link didn't always have the Hylian shield. Get over it.

@Strongo9

1: that's not a crucifix that's a cross and the first Zelda games that's what he had.
2: He didn't always have the master sword. In fact the strongest sword in LTTP was the reforged master sword into the gold sword.

@Gamesake

YES!! I personally want the continuation of the Hero of Time. He's my favorite and I think it's been long enough for his story to continue. Maybe the version of him from twilight princess, all armored out and awesome? I vote yes.

@Raiko lol me too i started it right when i got it and expected to wait A while so i went out to eat. I came back excited and saw that 30 minutes went by....then i got depressed but then i saw it was done and i was all happy face.

@ElMastero ive never had this issue. Hm.

Ps3 board in size*

I think the hardware is going To surprise a lot of people. The system is basically the board with a case thats not much different than the ps3s board. The next few years are going to be fun to watch for all the nintendo faithful. Great looking first party games with some awesome third party (i have my scope on aliens right now) seems to be the future. At the least itll be better than the last gen. Thats all i can ask for. Im a happy fan right now

Xbox live is a terrible service. I'm not paying to pay online. PSN Plus however is actually worth it.

@SuperCharlie78

1: They are connecting the Network with pc's and smartphones.
2: stop whining.

Everyone that believes this before it is concrete needs to calm their tits. I highly doubt this is correct. The whole issue here is that because of the Wii so many people have put Nintendo on the backburner for having great visuals. That's where people need to learn how to stop talking and start paying attention. In it's first week ZombiU showed a vastly significant upgrade from the Wii and would be a good looking game even for a ps360 but that's still not it's full potential. Ubisoft isn't exactly the greatest visually producing developers in the world for consoles. (AC3 in my opinion looked better on the WiiU) Everyone, needs to wait and watch instead of spouting off at the mouth speculating on what it can or can't do based on what LIMITED knowledge everyone has about it's hardware.

@mastersworddude

There's still a big variable in the WiiU's hardware. I highly doubt it's 1.2 considering the latest, before release, news on it was more like 3. - 3.2.

@deejrandom

Excuse me, but it seems you already know what sony and microsoft are using. Visually, I can tell you now, the systems will be too close for normal gamers to tell or care. I know because I've watched their dev kits closely. The next 5-6 years will not be dominated by sony or microsoft. I assure you that. Wait until developers unlock what the gpgpu can do.

@Burning_Spear no they arent lol

@hydeks uh.....no. its been 10 days. OF COURSE GAMES AREN'T GOING TO SHOW IT YET.

Everyone needs to slow down. Microsoft and sony have their dev kits out and tech previews of what they will put into them. From what i've gathered its not a noticeable difference in power. The only difference this time around will be gamer preference. Words need to stop and people need to allow this system to prove itself. Remember the zelda tech demo? A dude at epic even said the wiiu can do better than that. Chill and enjoy what we're all going to be given.

@PinkSpider
Actually thats incorrect. Nano assault is great looking and is fun, trine 2 has to be dumbed down in order to run on other consoles so already its proven to be at the least better than current gen. I cant wait for aliens to come out so people will really see the difference.

@hendie001 thats what im sayin. Zombiu plays great, nintendoland plays wonderfully. When developers take time to understand how the system runs the games are fine. People that are condemning the system for these reasons are fickle and stupid

@Adam
Sounds like a bio of a child that grew up in a lesbian home lol

For a launch title exclusive ubisoft did a LOT with hardware not very well understood outside of nintendos developers. Given time, and zombiu shows this, the wiiu will prove itself. I sure hope aliens plays as well as gearbox suggests.

@HarmoKnight i disagree with that. Zelda no but bethesda games with the wiiu tab would be fun

@verymetal bethesda NO

@SteveW they made them look graphically better.

Oh and the possibility of the next borderlands game for the wiiu is pretty high. Dont forget that.
