And yet, perfectly understandable.

Knushwood Butt4135d ago

I'll take a wild stab.

They'll drag existing IPs kicking and screaming onto the Wii U and that controller with the screen on it. They'll continue to milk them to death.

Then, third parties will soon give up trying because only the first party games sell, and if they make Wii U games they have to be exclusive because of that controller. As such, they stick to multiplats.

mcstorm4135d ago

Who is to say that Sony and MS will not do the same with there next console by putting a screen on there controller?

People are to quick to jump before they know what's going to happen in the industry.

Knushwood Butt4135d ago

Maybe you're right.

Gran Turismo 6 - touch the secondary controller for... Nah

TemplarDante4135d ago

"secondary controller"
its just wifi streaming content unto a device with a screen.
Contrary to Nintendo doctrine, it isnt powered by stardust and pikmin alien technology.
It is as cheap and hollow as it feels. Cheap and hollow is Nintys gimic since the Wii in 2006 anyway.

Lvl_up_gamer4135d ago

MS have smartglass now, so really there wouldn't need to be any rational reason to add cost to the 720 by putting a screen on the controller.

mcstorm4133d ago

I really love you gamers who are blind. dident gt5 have support for using the psp as a rear view mirror? cant you watch playtv or videos on the psp/psv from your ps3.

yes msdo have smartglass now but why not put it on there next controller to?

i really do think we are going to have alot of people up in arms come sony and microsofts next e3 when they show off there next console and it only has 1gb of ramand a processor not much more powerful than the wiiu and a screen in the controller.

im not saying they will copy nintendo but look at kinect + a wiiu remote or eye toy.

i maybe wrong but i dont see both sony or ms selling there next console for more than £350 when it comes out because of the way the industry is at the moment.

It's not really milking though. There's only one or two games per franchise on each hardware. They would do well to create some new IPs to go with the old trust ones. And Nintendo always make big differences in their games between generations.

Assassins Creed, Call of Duty, Madden, Fifa and to a mild extent;Halo, are being milked. Yet, they're still great games.

Kos-Mos4135d ago

The western counterparts should take notice of how you should act as human.

TemplarDante4135d ago (Edited 4135d ago )

Let me guess :)
Ninty PR 101

"We love families. We will bring you
Pikmin
Mario
Luigis mansion
Metroid
And you will feel happy :)

Like you did with the Gamecube, as our lineup is the same with better gfx each time :)
Feel happy, fuzzy and warm inside when purchasing the Wii U :)

P.S : Ipad's and anything else that distracts you from buying a Wii U is from the devil."

One only has to use Google and see the reality of the Wii U.
Ninty are doing a routine of artificial stock constraints the UK and certain online retailers (Amazon).
The demand has dropped prematurely.
Reggie, Im sure is having sleepness nights, sad for him, the dude does need his beauty sleep.

That Time Miyamoto Wanted Goldeneye on N64 to End With Handshakes

In an interview years ago, the Goldeneye 007 director revealed that Miyamoto and Nintendo were not at all pleased with the in-game violence of the James Bond game, so they suggested some ways to tone it down.

well, I have a feeling we'll be coming back to those days with how everyone is offended by something...

EazyC1135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

Outwardly...it has more to do with validation than offence.

I think back to the 90s when DOOM was offending the religious middle class... parents were genuinely offended by the violent material...idiotic mentality of course, but I genuinely believe their core sensibilities/morals felt attacked. Much like Marilyn Manson's music did.

I don't really buy that today. We're so exposed to every pit of the human experience that I don't actually believe that raving lunatics on Twitter actually feel that offended by ANYTHING they claim. It's just trendy/herd mentality.

The resulting effect is the same of course...your favourite show/host/artist is suddenly 'cancelled' because some screeching 17 year old vegans on the internet couldn't apparently tolerate that they used an old-fashioned term or some other trivial nonsense... but the disingenuousness of it all is really irritating me at the min.

Strange991135d ago

I’m a little offended that you had feelings in regards to this article. I’d like to schedule a zoom call with you to discuss this matter further. We can iron it out with a virtual handshake. If this works for you, have your therapist and lawyer call mine.

CrimsonWing691135d ago

You, sir get a thumbs up. Best comment, lol.

Shiken1136d ago

Meanwhile Ganondorf throws up blood, and Link then goes to impale him in the throat as Ganon.

Jeriphro1135d ago

Meanwhile, Eternal Darkness was a GameCube exclusive that came out 5 years after Goldeneye 007, and it contained horror, blood, and psychological terror, among other things. haha. Nintendo can be really weird about how they want to filter things.

TricksterArrow1135d ago

I miss Eternal Darkness dearly. ):

iplay1up21135d ago

Eternal Darkness needs a sequel and a full fledged remake!
