Limbo is a fantastic game. If you have a Vita and PS+ get it.

I think we can all agree EA had the worst showing.
Everything was in a conceptual stage... why bother showing anything.
Nintendo - 9
Microsoft - 7
Sony - 8
Ubisoft - 7
EA - N/A -- Concept Rating
Nintendo had the most "holy shit I want to play that so bad" for me this year. Sony had a lot too. The only shitty thing is most of the games are 2015 save for a few.
@roboccs: I don't really remember MKWii all that well but from what I've heard they've nerfed the bikes in MK8.
After launching late last week, Mario Kart 8 has become the Wii U's fastest-selling game ever with more than 1.2 million units already sold worldwide, Nintendo announced today. This number is according to the company's internal sales data and accounts for sales in the Americas, Europe, and Japan.
Nintendo made no mention of how the game has impacted sales of the beleaguered Wii U console itself, although UK retail tracking group GFK Chart-Track announced on its own today that Wii U hardware had seen a 666 percent sales boost in the UK over the weekend. No specific sales figures were shared in the GFK report, but 82 percent of hardware sales were said to be the Mario Kart 8 bundle.

"The early response to Mario Kart 8 demonstrates that the best days for Wii U are still ahead," said Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime as part of today's announcement. "This year’s E3 is just days away, and it will be all about the future games for Nintendo platforms. This milestone is a great place to start!"
The Mario Kart games have routinely been among Nintendo's best-selling titles; according to Nintendo, series sales eclipsed 100 million as of the end of March. Mario Kart 8's sales make it one of the best-selling games on Wii U; it's roughly on par with the 1.22 million copies of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD sold, but for now trails the platform's top sellers, New Super Mario Bros. U (4.16 million), Nintendo Land (3.09 million), and Super Mario 3D World (2.17 million).

Jason, amuse me with how this is a horrible thing for Nintendo :D.
So I was out looking around Best Buy and EBGames over the weekend. It's pretty surprising that I wasn't able to find a) Many Wii U's in store and b) Wii U accessories. I was actually looking to get a second Pro Controller but they're completely sold out. It's not like I live in some random small town either, big suburb near Toronto.
