YOu know whats even better.... the fact that I'll be able to enjoy any game on that list of yours... and the next Mario Kart, 3D Mario Platformer, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, etc.

.... ahhh.... such a good time not to be a stupid fanboy.

Also, this has nothing to do with Irrational purposefully skipping the Wii U, we've all seen that Ken Levine loves the idea of the Wii U controller and has said that he has plans to make use of it in whatever he's making next, the issue is that Bioshock Infinite has been in development for like 4 years and porting it to Wii U is way too much work and will delay the game for way too long. This goes with lots of other 3rd party games. The Rayman incident is quite an anomaly, which is why people are kicking up a fuss, hell even developers who worked on the game were on Twitter complaining about it, saying that they're angry that their crunch period leading up to release was all for nothing, because now they have to work even more on the game to put it on 360 and ps3 which is a huge amount of work.

I'd be more worried about the money-sieve that is sony that can't afford another failure, or the kinectbox.

Well any sensible person with a brain would get a PS4 after the juggernaut PS3.

Hideki Kamiya practically begged Nintendo to let him make it, if they dont let Platinum do it i would laugh.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like Ratchet and Clank (which would basically be star fox assault 2) infact i would prefer it to a game that only had flying levels. then again i'm not really a starfox fan.

Basically imagine a Star Fox game, that's story doesn't suck, 4 player co-op (how has this not been done yet?) on-foot controls like uncharted, flying controls like either Halo Reach's flying level or Halo 4's last level, more vehicles to be introduced and a multiplayer aspect.

The way that Command treated story made me so angry. There were 8 abysmal endings and 1 okay-but-not-great ending. Gameplay was entertaining but the story and the characters felt completely wrong.

Not naming it the Wii 2.

For clarity, I think that the Wii U is going to dominate this upcoming generation of consoles, because sony is so close to failure that if they have another ps3 on their hands, I don't see how they will dig themselves out and microsoft looks like it's going to be even more money-grubbing and casual focused because of the built in kinect and the latest rumors of forced xbox live, forced use of kinect 2, specs of the console that will price it out reach and that cool, but wildly impractical illumiroom concept. I think ms is going to charge through the nose for their next xbox.

On top of this,
1. the Wii U is actually selling quite well, despite what people think. It's sales are fairly close to what the Wii was selling at, but I don't believe that anyone will be able to replicate the Wii's sales.

2. Nintendo is in talks with lots of 3rd party developers (mostly japanese devs atm) about giving them the reigns to their first party titles, and giving them some developers to help out with developing them. The first we're seeing of this is that Fire Emblem and some other game crossover title. I believe that this strategy is Nintendo's way of attracting 3rd party attention. If a 3rd party gets free reign to make a new F Zero or Metroid or Star Fox, we could see some serious sales for 3rd parties, thus attracting more attention to the platform.

3. The Wii U is going to have at least a year on the market ahead of sony and microsoft, meaning that the Wii U should be getting some seriously good quality titles at the time of ps4 and xbox whatever's launch, which we all know is going to be full of mediocrity, launches always are. A year on the market proved to keep the xbox 360 alive and really pushed it to get 3rd party support because it was so much earlier than the ps3 and Wii.

I'm sure there's other reasons too, but this is a wall of text already and doesn't need to become the next Berlin Wall.

The Wii was the ps2 of this generation. Other than that, seems mostly right.

So, amidst the announcements that coupled with the leaked xbox specs makes it seem like the console race is already at gg with the big N at #1, I noticed that they talked briefly about their partnership strategy where they're willing to let 3rd Parties that partner with them and utilize Nintendo franchises. When I thought about this for a minute, it sounds like Nintendo has finally found a hook to get 3rd parties to finally develop for their system. It's no secret that 3rd parties have never really focused much on the Nintendo system, but by the looks of it with Bayonetta 2 coming ONLY to Wii U, it sounds like Nintendo has got 3rd party attention. What this could easily mean is Wii U could become 3rd party dev console of choice, because they're not only allowed to use Nintendo IPs, they're able to get the big N to help them out developing the game. even if that's just for porting, that's just easy money for devs.

Coupled with Miiverse, Smartphone integration and the overall attention Nintendo appears to have paid to current trends, I firmly believe that Nintendo is about to become even more of a juggernaut than it already is. (This is not even talking about the new tech the controller uses and the still new hardware that devs haven't fully utilized yet in the console)

As I said before, apart from an absurd amount of RAM, the xbox 720 looks to be about 1.3x stronger than the Wii U, which is exactly as underwhelming for lems as it sounds, meaning that ports should be very doable for the Wii U. I'm not trying to start a system wars here, but I believe that my numbers are reasonably accurate.

Tl;dr: Nintendo's partnering strategy with 3rd parties is exactly the hook that 3rd parties need to jump aboard the Nintendo train.

If Sony's laptops use Windows...

Same story. Companies do allow other people to make stuff for them y'know.

Look at Samsung and apple. Samsung makes heaps of parts of the iphone, but look who got sued their asses off.

Get rid of that "true" bullsh!t.

Look into Kameo, then Fight Night and Oblivion and you can see how long it took to get heavy-hitting gfx showpieces on 360.
