Would make sense to announce the consoles before E3 imo, then really bring out the games and show off what the console can do during the event itself.

Just a bunch of political BSing on all sides. Basically so they can say to the public, "Hey look! We're doing something! Yay!"

Would be nice if they dropped the fee, but I don't think they will. It is M$ after all.

Grats to journey I guess. Not my style of game.

I agree with the last comment in the vid, no zombies = this game must suck.

So the only thing that's actually worth having in the premium bundle is the extra HDD space; other stuff is just extra plastic thrown in to bump up the price. If the basic bundle translates into a decent price in the US, I might still buy one, though it looks like it's going to be a more expensive than I hoped.

How early in advance to console prices usually get announced? It feels weird the WiiU is right around the corner, but we don't have a price/release date.

Was a really cool trailer...then a panda showed up for some reason. Was that supposed to happen?

"often challenging world of Mario platforming"

Maybe that used to be the case, but I haven't been seen healthy challenge in a Mario game for years. Thanks super meat boy for ruining every other platformer for me.

For me the game is easily 9+. Opinions and all that.
