Examiner - A Wii U review from a Wii hater

Perhaps “hater” is a bit strong, but it is true, I never had much affection for Nintendo’s white, waggle machine. I guess my main problem was that the Wii simply couldn't fulfill its panoply of drunken promises. The motion controls weren't terribly immersive, and before the MotionPlus, they weren’t very accurate. The system’s hardware was outdated before it even came out. Most of the games were garbage, and the ones that weren't belonged to a series of increasingly stagnating franchises. As a core gamer, there just wasn't much there for me. Despite all the Wii’s failures, when the Wii U came out, I ran out and bought one. I’ve had it for a while now, and here’s what I think.

good read, hopefully the load times will be resolved with later games in the series.

It's possible, as a developer myself, I know that clumsy middleware can slow down hardware a lot. If that's the issue, it could be resolved.

Best console ever after SNES.

Its a fantastic console. Power wise it might start looking a bit dated in about 2 years when the next gens enter full swing (launch titles will not be light years ahead of what we have now) but for now I'm loving it.

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
