Nintendo Wii U (Thread 2!)

[Adam Stone]

The next handful of months are going to be expensive...

The Wonderful 101, Wii Fit U, Game & Wario, Pikmin 3, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Lego City Undercover, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Rayman Legends and EShop delights such as Bit Trip Runner and Cave.

- The sad thing is I cant wait to get on Miiverse when they are each released!

Good times indeedy!

The only downside to Alien Colonial Marines is that the Wii U version is not being developed by Gearbox but some other developer called Demiurge Studios and i have to say i have never heard of them. This was one game i was going to wait to buy on Wii U but im slightly concerned that it will just end up being a rather second best port that is not as good as the Xbox/PS3 game that is being done by Gearbox. I am really disappointed about this because i thought Gearbox where handling it themselves. Maybe i should reserve judgement but im not holding my breath im afraid.

Taking the above into account and the latest delays , it looks like Rayman and amybe Lego for me for the next 4 months or so ... doesn't look as good as before xmas..

Why do I get the distinct impression Ninty are staggering releases as they really don't have much after launch window games (most of which are now not)

Yeah, it sounds very much like they're staggering things and trying to hang on until they have a system seller like Mario Kart ready to go. Which better be sooner rather than later.

I'm going with later at the moment otherwise we would have seen it by now ...

They are not exactly exploiting the head start are they. Still nevermind pretty sure most consoles first years are slow, I'm not defending them but one game a month or every 6 weeks is enough for me for now. As long what comes out is quality, that's more important to me. There are plenty PS3 releases to supplement the drought

All coming within the next five months: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/...release-window

They made Greenday Rockband with assistance from HMX. Probably will be fine as long as they are closely watched by Gearbox

To be honest what i would really like to see rather than another Mario Kart is perhaps a Nintendo Kart/Racer. I dont really know what more they can do with another Mario Kart without it getting boring.

Possibily a look at some new games tomorrow, although the quote is 'software & services' so that doesn't necesarily mean showing new games.

Here's hoping for something substantial but I very much doubt it.

[Adam Stone]

Resident evil revelations due out in may too - which is great news. Is a superb game, so much better than 5 and 6. Hopefully a console release will give it the appreciation it deserves. Improved lighting and new characters is a bonus to an already solid game

Bayonetta2 footage and a set in stone release for W101.

All worries are quashed with news of May release of Biohazard. How can the proper consoles better touch screen controls?

*hugs Wii U*

I'm not sure what to expect from tomorrow's announcement. I'd like to think they'd take this as an opportunity to reveal Mario Kart and possibly something else, like Pilotwings, but I'm not holding my breath.
