Besides that, I really think Nintendo bombed on their next system. It is portable, which is huge, but they basically just eliminated they entire selling point of the Wii. No more group games and such.

They needed to keep the focus on the family, or shift it a bit towards recapturing some of the "hardcore" gamers. To me, they did neither.

While the Nintendo U looks pretty cool, I'm about 95% sure I won't buy.

The focus is going to be on party games, yet again, which is great for some, but not for me. Sure, there might be a couple awesome games that really utilize this new control scheme, but it will be far outweighed by the crap that is shoveled out.

No mention of revamping their horrible online service, so even if the new system is awesome, it's crippled by their friend code system and lack of anything close to the PSN or Xbox Live.


Give me a super powerful new Xbox 360 or PS4 and I'll buy, keep your ninja stars dammit!!

being a former tank commander, hearing fire commands and the accuracy in way they put the tanks in the game like that gives me a hard on like Wolfman in Topgun!

Sony's 3d tv thing looked awesome. Especially the 2 player thing that eliminates split screen.

I think that's probably one of the best compliments the developers can hear about that. I'm sure they talked plenty with guys just like you to get everything the way it is in the game.

yeah, if they can somehow get that split screen trick to a 42" or 46" tv....I will buy immediately.

The idea was to make 3D gaming more affordable. I'm sure they could do the same thing to a 46" if you wanted another $2500 3D TV on the market.

Apparently the colors are terrible on it and there was some ghosting and such.

Yeah, I get why they did it. I am just saying that I hope this idea expands and is used in bigger tvs.
