I'm hyped. I tend to ignore talking about games I'm really excited about to avoid any spoilers.

Jeremy Renner or Gerard Butler.
I really could not care less about MGS.
Ground Zeroes left a bitter, bitter taste in my mouth.
The game forces you to either go all stealth or all guns blazing. Play styles are limited. Say I want to choke everyone out ghost/pacifist style. They'll wake up! What the freaking 'H'?! Not only is that frigging game-breaking tediousness it makes no sense whatsoever because the guards don't ring the alarm if you leave the area and go off to a far corner as you'd expect so what is the f'ing point?! They'll just be there as normal keeping watch. Stupid, stupid game. I want to explore every nook and cranny, collect all the loot and appreciate the surroundings. I don't want to be pressured into playing a particular way and feel as though I'm missing things and I don't have a million years to play the damn game either so the lack of a save option is super dumb. Ground Zeroes was literally one of the worst experiences I've ever had in any video game and I've played hundreds. So much promise down the drain. I feel pissed off just talking about the game lol. Moreover, they hardly developed the CQC, it's virtually the same thing all over again. The last MGS game I had played was Snake Eater. That surprised me, but it was most definitely not what annoyed me the most.
Zelda U all the way.
@osan0: Checked that out. Looks okay. Reminds me of the Shadow of the Beast reboot trailer for PS4 mixed with a bit of Ryse and Thief. Funnily enough, that's turned out to be vapourware too as far as I can tell.
Also the music is awesome...

"Look what happened with the WiiU when Nintendo tried embracing the hardcore crowd."
When did that happen?
When they tried to explain to the gaming masses what the "U" in "Wii U" actually meant. The first year of the Wii U's life wasn't anything if not an attempt to prove to the "hardcore gamer" that Nintendo could provide the same experiences on their now-HD platform as everyone else does. That's why there was so much meaningless buzz about the system getting PS3/Xbox 360 multiplats for about the first 12 month of its existence (pre-launch and post-launch). Of course, when most of those games bomb at retail and third parties jump ship at a blink of an eye, people quickly forget that Nintendo actually did try... :P
Right, right. Okay. If that's your opinion.
Trying is not a measurement of effort or success.
Nintendo made empty promises and put its hand in too many pots, the system had no identity or alluring selling point, the marketing sucked, the hardware wasn't attractive to the big 3rd parties...need I go on? They still haven't released a single game that could potentially get the attention of those 3rd parties. They need to take the bull by the horns and make a firm decision.
@achilles614: I did some reading and I don't think the Bluetooth transmitter in the Wii U is powerful enough to make plug-in wireless range extenders a feasible option.
You could use repeaters, but that would add delay because you'd be introducing package duplication.
You could even chain extenders, that would also add delay due to signal degradation.
I don't think the gamepad was designed to be used long-range. There's no way to get around that from what I understand. The hardware simply doesn't allow for it.

Apparently Miyamoto will be making an appearance.
Link, Ganon and Zelda DLC confirmed. xD
What's a "mature" title?
Just give me Pilotwings 2, Blast Corps 2, a Wii U timed-exclusive Timesplitters 4, a proper reboot of Turok only for the Wii U, Diddy Kong Racing 2, Eternal Darkness 2, Areal (lol), Shadowman 2, WWE No Mercy, Sin 2, an open world platform-adventure Mario game, Mario Paint U, MDK 3, Ultra Descent, Forsaken 2 etc.
They need to take some risks.
@achilles614: Good point. I only took it out once and I've left it in since last night so no harm done.
Off-screen play works really well despite the short range. Really liking the system so far.
